TION.


est in the diarying business of Fred
erick county several hundred farmers
and dairymen met in the courtroom of
the Frederick court House last Friday
afternoon and formed a corporation.
The corporation which is capitalized
at $500, divided into 1000 shares OF
stock, per value so cents, is to be
known as "The Dairymens Associa-
tion of Frederick County"
c. E. Bassett specialist in co-opera-
tive organization of the United States
Department of Agricultural, depart
ment of Markets, and w. H. Manss
vice-president and general manager
of the Southern Settlement and De-
velopment Organization, attended the
meeting and openly endorsed the "ad-
dress" which was read to the huge
audience.
So enthusiastic was Mr.. Bassett
over the proposed incorporation of the
association that he offered sugges-
tions for bylaws of the incorpora-
tion which will provide for the opera
tion of the organization. He deliver
ed bang-up address on cooperative
buying and secured storms of ap-
plause. Addresses were delivered by
Harry B. Witter, Reno S. Harp, and
l.. F. Kefauver.
Harry B. Witter, one of the lead
ing dairymen and thoroughbred cat
tie men in this county, was named
president of the Incorporation.
The staff of officers: President Har-
ry B. Witter; Vive-President, Samuel
Forney; Secretary, John w. Grove;
Treasurer, Charles c. Martz, and At
torney, Reno, S. Harp.
The directors: G. A. I. Snoufer,
Charles Wartheimer, David G. Zentz,

burg, Lee Ranneberger, Charles w.
Hoffman, Armstrong Mckinney, and
George Fawley.
Incorporators: Harry w. Witter, 5.
l. Forney, c. G. Martz, j. w. Grove,
and Charles Wertheimer.
This is what President Witter had
to say last evening in talking about
the aims of the corporation: The
idea of this organization is to pro-
mote interest among the dairymen
of Frederick county and to stimulate
enthusiasm among the consumers of
dairy products. We are not fighting
any of the sanitary laws of Frederick,
but merely asking for our rights and
insist that we have them as law abid-
ing citizens.
A significant feature of yesterday S
gathering was that it was representa-
tive, not packed audience. The Sc
veral hundred men who became stock
holders of the corporation combined
own 1,451 milk COWS in this county.
Some dairymen attending the meeting
own the most valuable herds in this
section of the Eastern states.
The board of directors will meet
on Tuesday evening at o'clock in
the offices of their attorney Reno S.
Harp, Court street.
