the ST. Louis exposition? This is the
question chiefly discussed today by the
$50 creamery and dairymen who are
holding their annual state convention at
the council chamber in city hall.
This morning a committee consisting
of I. A. Borman, George Littlef1eld and
Charles Dilley was appointed TO drafL
resolutions expressing the ultimatum of
the buttermakers to the Kansas Worlds
fair commission, which has so far re-
fused to make the appropriation which
the buttermakers demand. This resolu-
ton will be sent by wire to the COM
missioners, who on Thursday will meet
in st. Louis.
Ed Sudendorff of ST. Louis, superin-
tendent of the dairy department of the
Worlds fair, attended the meeting this
morning and made speech. He stated
that there was only one space not yet
taken by the dairy exhibitors, and this
space he had been holding for Kansas.
Nebraska is after it, he said, and
unless Kansas speaks quick, she will
lose the chance for an exhibit at the
| exposition
Mr.. Sudendorff's speech was followed
by some spirited remarks by members
of the Kansas associati ton. The Kansas
Worlds fair commissioners were roast
ed enthusiastically for failing to take
better care of the dairy interests of the
state. But the commissioners are used
to that.
l.
citation said: 'tThre times we have
gone before the COMMISSION and urged
them to give us some money to make a
creditable exhibit. At Chicago we were
allowed $500 and found it to be entirely
inadequate to make a good showing for
the state. The cost of the refrigerator
space alone at ST. Louis will be $500.
Then We have to look after the payment
of TRANSFORMATION and the care of the
exhibit We need $4,000, but might be
able to get along with $4,000. The but
termakers and cheesemakers of the
state are willi~y to donate the exhibits,
but they can e expected to stand any
further expe,.- The commission has
offered to give US $1,000, and expect us
to raise $1,000 more to go with it.
Owing to the absence of President G.
H. Littlefield, of Parsons, j. A Walker
