FORTY-SECOND ANNUAL CONVENTION 259 



DIRECTOR'S ANNUAL MEETING. 



Directors of Illinois State Dairymen's Association met for 

 their annual meeting in Springfield, Sept. 14, 19 16. President 

 J. P. Mason presided. 



The annual reports of the Secretary and Treasvu'er were 

 presented and as they had already been audited by Director J. B. 

 Newman, they were approved. 



Geo. Caven, Wilmette, 111., and Chas. Foss, Cedarville, III, 

 were re-elected without opposition. 



Jacksonville and Danville appeared as leading candidates 

 for the next Annual Convention, to be held in January, 1917. 

 The directors, after hearing the arguments for each place, de- 

 cided in favor of Danville because of the fact that a meeting had 

 never been held in the extreme eastern part of the State, while 

 several meetings have been held in recent years in the vicinity of 

 Jacksonville. 



It was voted also to hold a week of one-day meetings aboui 

 Jacksonville, ending with a one or two days' meeting in that 

 City, the time for holding the meetings to be determined by the 

 Secretary after consultation with the Jacksonville representa- 

 tives. 



It was voted also to delegate the President, Mr. J. P. Mason, 

 to attend the National Dairy Show, or, in case he was unable tc 

 attend, to appoint a delegate. 



All of the directors were present at the meeting except Mr. 

 J. B. Newman, who was in the East at that time. 



GEO. CAVEN, • 



Secretary.
