Mr. Hoard referred casually to the im
mense production of oleomargarine in
the United States, the manufacture of
which was a menace to an industry that
was great in extent. No dairy farmer
could expect to compete with oleomargar
ine when its manufacturers were not
backward in telling the public that It
could be produced for $5.54 per u>o
pounds. It was a vital question, and
every dairy farmer should be alert to
secure the passage of legislation that
would prevent the destruction and undo
ing of an industry that meant much to
the commercial wealth and health of the
entire country.
An announcement that was received
with cheers was the reading of two

productive of mould and a . source of

■ A little matter that promised to broad
en out into a controversy of bis propor
tions was an attempt' on the part of sev
eral delegates to have-butter hall opened
today instead of waiting ; until Friday:
morning, the date scheduled on the ■ pro
gramme. The reason given was that
many of the delegates desired to leave
this evening; and to defer the time until
Friday would be to deny them one of
the best features of the convention. ■ —
Vice President Griffin, who presided,
Said -that it was impossible, owing to the
fact that the men in charge had not com
pleted the work of arranging and tabulat
ing the exhibits, ,and besides the score
lists, which would contain over 825 names,
would not be out■of the hands of the
printer before tonight. :
Several intimated that the arrangement
was a scheme to hold them in St. Paul,
and one delegate followed it with a mo
tion to open the-hall today, but a mo
tion to lay on the table was given and
prevailed. This settled the controversy.

committee appointed to inquire into the

opposed to any change. President Hask

An unquestionably poor legating plant
detracted greatly from the *" attendance
yesterday at the Auditorium, many of
the delegates prefering the warmth of
their hotels to the chilly drafts which

-Especially was: this ': &> in connection

by J. H. Rushton, of^Fa3^mont, Neb. Mr. ,
Rushton's argumerit_ = was based on farm ,

Three other papers of a tr-chnical na
ture read were "Modern Mil; Testing,' 1
by Dr. E. N. Eaton, o'lerclst lilin.'H
dairy and food commission; "Testing
Gathered Cream," by J. N. Muncey,
Jesup, 10., and "High vs. Low Ripening
Temperature," by W. W. Day, Tripoli,
10. Fats and solids, Farenheit and
other trade terms characterized their
contents, and to the uninitiated their
reading was Greek. The delegates gen
erally took a lively interest in them an 1
there was considerable discussion.
The first paper to open the session
yesterday morning was one upon '•Quali
fications of a Creamery Manager," by
G. H. Gurler, of De Kalb, 111. Mr.
Gurd's contentions were along trie line
of honesty, confidence in his patroirs,
ability to know good from bad milk not
only by test but smell, and to educate
his patrons to the end that manufactur
er and producer would work in harmony.
The paper was practical in its nature,
and seemed to mtet with approval, judg
ing from the discussion.
"The Requirements and Kduca.tion of
the Buttermaker of the Future" was the !
subject of a paper read by S. Haugh- '
dahl, of New Sweedcn, Minn. .Mr.
Haughdahl held that the buttermaker
of the future will have to be a finish
ed product, and not an apprentice as is
now generally the case. In his make
up must be engrafted much that i.^ scien
tific, and this schooling can only be ob
tained by dose study. Graduates from
the dairy f^hools he contended make the
most successful dairymen.
In a paper on "What Can Birtienr.ak
f-rs Do to Incrase and Improve Their
Yitld," F. Riley, of Fostoria, 10., ad
vised education tending to impress upon
the owners of herds the advisability of
furnishing their cattle with better feed.
Poor cows should be removed and the
stock kept up to a standard.
H. J. Neklhart, of lowa, spoke in
formally on the practice prevalent of a
patron of one crcamc«y occasionally
bringing his cream to a rival concern to
have it tested. The practice, he said,
resulted in friction, and should not be
countenanced by creamery managers.
The morning session had a rather !
laughable interruption, when a lively j
discussion was suddenly cut short by ■
dumping of coal into the basement of I
the auditorium, the sound not being un- j
like the roar and rattle of musketry. I

Minnesota receives a handsome pium
this year *r the shape of a prize of $>0
for the most attractive and largest show
ing in the parade Tuesday. Pier num

other state, and when the announcement

The Reason
We are are actually giving you the greatest
money-saving opportunity ever offered in this city and
do not believe you will care for "reasons" when you
see what we offer. If, however, you are curious to
know why we offer goods for much less than
they actually cost us, come in and ask—it's no
secret.
An Argument
These garments are the finest that expert men
tailors can make from the choicest of fabrics. They
are the
Very Latest Styles
—styles that will be as up-to-date next season as now.
You may not actually need a suit at present, but if
you can save exactly half the price by buying now it
is certainly worth your while to get a suit for the
future. Such an opportunity as this will in all prob
abilily never again be offered, as the conditions which
force the sale will probably never again occur.
The terms of this sale are cash.

work in making the parade a success.
ALL, RECORDS BROKEN.
Yesterday's arrivals settled definitely
all question as to the size of the present
convention. Tile secretary said that it
beyond all doubt the largest in the h's
tory of the association; in fact double

the magnitude of almost any two pre
vious gatherings. From Minnesota and
lowa points yesterday there po;,red in a
stream of delegates, surprising even to
those who had all along maintained that
the attendance would prove record brok
ing. No fewer than 1,000 delegates reach
ed the city on tlie morning and afternoon
trains, and fortunately the accommoda
tion arrangements proved fully equal to
the occasion. In fact the committee
in charge was not called upon tor its
full resources, the delegates mostly
rustling for themselves.
A matter that is interesting most of [
| the buttermakers is the place of meeting ]
next year. This question is not decided, j
i as many think, by a vote of the delegates, '
but by the executive committee. Miiwau- I
kee men still claim that their old rival, j
Kansas City, is "farie'i"' but the repre- i
seriifitivcs Irom the Missouri town ;ns!st
that they have to be shown where the
beer city has any lead on them. Both j
places have strong claims, and the de- j
cision of the committee will be made
after a ciireful consideration of the ad- |
vantages of both cities. Last night the j
M'lssturiana declared that the fight was j
over and that they had won, but this
was premature.
ELECTION PLEASES DELEGATES.
The re-election of President Haskell was
a source of gratification to every dele
gate now in St. Paul. He has filled his
onerous position with marked ability
and has devoted much time to promoting
the interests of the association. When
the convention met first ho was of the j
opinion that he could scarcely afford j
to devote the time and attention neces- '
sary lor an additional twelve months
of office, but a delegation of his friends
wailed upon him, and after much per
suasion induced him to allow his name
to go before the convention. As soon as
it was known that be was in the fteld, :
the Kansas delegation unanimously i
agreed to withdraw the candidacy of Mr. I
Nisseiy, of Topeka.
Seen lary Sucendorf's re-election has !
also met with general approval. He hns
bten indefatigable in his efforts to pro
mote the growth of the organizaton. and
the asso^atlon recognized his services by
putting Mm back by an unanimous vote, j
Considerable pressure is being brought
to bear on the members of the United j
States senate on the subject of the Grout i
bill by the dclegtes to the convenfon. I
i
The sentiment is overwhelmingly in fa
vor of the bill, and most of the promi
nent senators have been asked to vote
for it. During yesterday's sessions fre
quent mention was made to this now ta
mous measure, and in every instance the
speakers came out strongly :n favor of
the anti-oleomargarine bill. It is felt
that the passage of the bill will do m.ich
to foster the legitimate buttermaking In
dustry and at the same time remove a
source of competition that is most an
noying.
A striking tribute to the commercial
importance of the fam liar "mooley"' cow
is to lie seen in the attention which the
largest commission houses in the United
States are devoting to the convention.
Two or three hundred of the brightest
young m(:n in the country are here on
behalf of Eastern and Western houses,
and the "play" they are making for the
business of the actual buttermakc-rs is
most interesting, lavish expenditure, an
abundance of wit and consummately
skillful business "Jollying" are the chief
weapons of the enterprising candidate*
for the business of the men who maita
butter for a living. The rural manufac
turer of butter is entertained as though
ho were a long-lo^t relative, and as 4
general rule before he is through, an
arrangement of some kind is effected
The railroads also are not backward.
S< ores of the most tin'shecl diplomats In
the business are on hand here, and ra<-h
and every one of them is provided with a
fund of funny stories, a winning smile
and a tig glad hand. They do most of
their work in the lobbies of the hot. Is,
and a mere casual glance will suffice to
show that their work is very far from
being coarse.
