Wheeling, he has not room to turn

President D. J. Shaw in his annual
| report recommended to the butchers
The Butchers and Packers Magazine OF
St. Louis, Mo. This speaks well for
President Shaw's porspicacity.
This will be the last day OF tho con-
| v~ention and the chief business will DC
the election Of officers. There is no
slata and therefore no one knows how
it will result. Itis hoped the best men
will be chosen.

work as the secretary Of the convention
committee. The whole OF tho committee
