18 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



talks this afternoon will be of special interest, and I hope you 

 will get the crowd together and be here at i :30. 



Each year the Association gets out a report in the nature of 

 an educational volume. You will find them at this desk. They 

 are free and if they look good to you take one for yourself and 

 then take another home to your neighbor, and please try to get 

 at this meeting during the next two days as many of the local 

 people in as you can persuade to come. I am sure you will find 

 the talks beneficial and very interesting. 



Tonight we are to have stereopticon views. Professor 

 Fraser will display his views that he has gathered in the old 

 country. We also have a good musical program tonight that 

 is not shown on our regular program, but the citizens here have 

 promised us good talent and good music. 



There are several committees to appoint, among them the 

 Committee on Memberships. In regard to the membership, do 

 not get the idea it is the dollars we want ; we want your name on 

 the roll, and of course will take the dollar — that helps. 



If we haven't your name on the Association list we don't 

 know how to reach you, and if you are a member you will work 

 a little more strenuously than as if you just came and went away 

 and if any members try to pin on a badge don't shy from it. I 

 would like to call your attention to the place where your name is 

 to be inserted ; this enables you to know the other man's name. 



On that Membership Committee I would like to appoint : 



Joseph Newman, Elgin. 



G. G. Council, Vandalia. 



J. F. Sanmann, Havana. 



Charles Gilkerson, Marengo. 



A. F. Jansen, Effingham. 



J. P. Mason, Elgin. 



E. Sudendorf, Chnton. 



I wish that you would get the badges from Mr. Caven and 

 circulate around and get a badge on every one. 



The other committees I shall appoint the first thing this 

 afternoon.
