FOR EARNEST EFFORT.
Now. / believe this Organization
should have o change. ! will Just talk
few minutes and then cl.@e have
spent this year something over 30 days
time. ana other members OF the execu-
tive committee have spent consider
able time, too. Now, II Is hardly fair
to ask men to do this. and believe
what this association should have is
this: II should be differed just exact
~ as II Is at present. that is. ] don
mean the same officers but president,
vice president. etc, then they should
have In the central office someone VINO
could devote their entire tirne 70 the
business of this organization. When
there was any trouble with the rail-
roads IL would be his duty to go and
see what could he done. And anything
In the nature OF legislation Affecting the
sheep interests II would be his place 10
do what he could 10 mold public serti-
ment In the right direction, tbs man
should be able, as say, 10 devote Nvery
he would have an easy time of II, you
iust want 10 try Ii while, know
/ could have taken every hour since
have been elected vice president Of this
association. II could have afforded tho
time, and worked hard every hour Of
that time Now, your business Is
worth 1t, gentlemen. 1t Is hard
to ask men who are not salarled TO
devote an their time. They can't af-
ford f. They may give you a month
now and again, but they cannot devote
their entire time and It Is unfair 10
expect II, and | believe that this execu-
tive committee should have that au-
thority and In that central Office the
record should be kept so that everyone
that wanted any information In regard
to the sheep industry or the wool in
dustry. not only In the United states,
but all over the world, could write
there and get 1t. 1t is up to this con-
vention 10 do that (applausel II, In their
wisdom they think 1t possible,
MEMBERS AND HAIR.
The one thing in an organization
above all others, II to have working
secretary. My friend Mr.. Taylor, yes
terday In complimenting the secretary
of the Wyoming woolgrowers' associa-
ton. at which / was present, said IT
was very important to have good sec
rotary, but no said any ornamental
man could be president. SO IL you want
an ornament, put him in for president.
but have working secretary. When
MIR. Walker took hold of the convention
at Denver. believe there were SO meme
bers. Those OF you who were there
will recollect that he had beautiful
head OF hair, He has run that 36 paid
up members up 10 5,ssS tApplause)
This association pow has q paid-up
membership OF b,33s. but Mr., Walker
has lost probably 22 hairs for every one
OF them. Laughtcr) And heir doc
tor told me some time ago that II we
didn't get this association up to 10000
members ne would not have any hair at
all (Laughter,)
Now. gentlemen, We have prospered
wonderfully. and II we each and every
one do his part and not depend upon
someone to do all. but each one helm
and do our part, I feel that we W.
meet next year with 10000 members,
even if he does not have hair l thank
you. prolonged applause
