REPORT OF SECRETARY CAVEN. 



Directors Illinois State Dairymen's Association. 



I herewith submit the report of money received and paid 

 out by me as secretary in the work of the association for the year 

 1905-06 just closed. 



The receipts from the last convention are all in and the bills 

 paid. In preparing for the convention we printed and circulated 

 over the state 1000 programs. A copy was sent to each creamery 

 of which we had the address, and as many dairymen as we could 

 get addresses of. All but about one hundred of the programs 

 were mailed out prior to the convention. We printed and sent 

 out 800 posters annoucing the convention ; a letter of announce- 

 ement was also sent out to members and other dairymen and for 

 six weeks prior to the convention an article was mailed out to 

 weekly and daily newspapers, mainly in the central and southern 

 part of the state, the territory nearest to the meeting place. 

 Besides we mailed out 275 copies of the annual report at 11 cents 

 each. Your secretary made three trips to Effingham preparing 

 for the convention and these two items, stamps and traveling 

 expenses are the two largest bills of expense. The total receipts 

 are $783.87 and expenses $256.56.
