Mayor Does the Honars.
The address of the president fol-
lowed the welcoming address made by
Mayor George Ainslie, shortly after
the convention had been called to order
by Mr.. Bredin and after the invoca ton
by Rev. w. c. James had been made
The exchange of courtesies between
the mayor and the president of the
association was a most cordial one and
the meeting started under the most
pleasing auspices imaginable.
That the bakers mean business in
their session Is shown by the fact that
members only are permitted In the con-
vention hall when business matters are
to he considered. and by the fact
that these executive sessions are large
ly attended by association members
who enter earnestly into the discus
sions. The addresses being made at
each of the sessions by speakers who
have been secured for places on the
program are business addresses. Each
has it's value for the business man gem
orally, but the chief value is that which
these messages carry to the baker es-
pecially.
Two such addresses were heard vee-
terday one in the morning hv p

National Federation. and the otl,e-
