THE RESPONSE.
At the conclusion of the Mayors re-
marks, which We've heartily applauded,
d. G. Cheever, OF Clinton, responded
on behalf of the association. Kenosha
County, he said, might Justly be called
the banner cheese county of the state.
And the association met to confer in
a business-like manner, representing
an industry which had grown up to
enormous proportions within the past
few years. The products of the dairy,
besides representing prosperous homes,
represented $l,300,0O0,000 throughout
the United States, and the one item of
cheese and butter brought into the
country $350,000.000 annually, or more
than $50,000,O0O in excess of the wheat
crop. In conclusion the speake. well
coined the Mayor and citizens Of Ke-
nosfa in behalf of the association, so
heartily that there could be no doubt |
of his sincerity.
