on their time and purse, and we hope the benefits received may well 

 repay them. 



I wish to call special attention to the ladies on our program. This 

 afternoon the President of the Sangamon County Woman's Dairy Associa-

 State, because when the women in any community work together for any 

 purpose, they accomplish it, hence what can the ladies do for dairying in 

 Illinois and the raising of the standard of Illinois dairy products? God 

 speed the work of the ladies. With their help we can fill this building with 

 dairy students, who shall go out into the world to bless humanity. 



By the President.— Before I appoint committees, I will wait a little 

 longer to see who to call upon to put on these committees. 



The only one I will appoint at present, and that is the most essential,

 become members. 



I will appoint Mr. E. Sudendorf, Chairman, Clinton; Irvin Nowlan, 

 Touion; A. J. Glover, Elgin. 



The badges are here and I hope you will get to work and do the best 

 you can in securing memberships for the association.
