DAIRY PICNIC HELD
HELD HERE ON JULY 20

The Missouri State Dairy
mems Association has planned
for a series Of six regional con-
ventions to be held in different
parts of the State. AS has been
the work of this association for
the past 25 years, so these meet
ings are planned to forward the
interests of the producers of
milk. But the especial purpose
of the work this year is to for
ward important legislation that
is pending in the National Con-
gress. This is vital to the best
development of the dairy indus
try.
The man who is doing the
most work along the lines pur-
sued by the dairy mems associa-
ton is Mr.. E. G. Bennett, of
Carthage, Mo. He is President
of this association and also the
State Dairy Commissioner. Some
years ago Mr.. Bennett was in
Mexico and assisted the local
dairymen in formulating an Or
ganization, His work at that
time was much appreciated and
all who heard him remember
him as being a man who knows
the business of dairy farming.
Again Mr.. Bennett has agreed
to come to Mexico in the inter-
ests of more and better dairy
ding. The Rock Spring Dairy
has arranged for a big all day
picnic for it's many patrons and
friends at the Walker Pollock
farm for July 20, which is
Thursday, only two weeks from
yesterday. Already fully twen-
ty five families have agreed to
be present at this picnic and
they include most of the farmers
who are interested in the breed
ing of mich cows and the pro-
duction of pure milk. 1t is to
meet with and address this
. Dairy Farmers Picnic at the
! Pollock farm that Mr.. Bennett
will again come before the far
mers of Audrain.
t Next Tuesday the first of the
six regional conventions men
g toned above will be held in St
e Louis. Ross Martin, manager
of the Rock Spring Dairy, is
? planning to meet with the dai.
rymen from this section of thu
e state at that time. He has
r planned this local picnic in order
that the dairymen of this com
e munity may meet and work out
e some of the enthusiasm ant
d principles of better dairy hus
bandry, evident in the larger
conventions. To assist in thii
work it is very fortunate tina
the services of Mr.. Bennett havI
+ been secured.

STERN JUSTICE LOOKS INTO
The VOTE.

The activities of the department Of
justice in hustling agents and inves-
tigators into states which have been
slow in making reports of the vote
are activities of abstract justice. If
these agents and investigators went
first into doubtful states from which
the returns seemed to indicate that
Mr.. Wilson was losing, that certainly
was merely because it was easier to
reach them.
The activity indicates an intense
a passionate-desire that all freemen
shall vote and have their ballots prop
erly counted. Presently the investi-
gators will be in the southern states
to ascertain if everything has been
conducted there in accordance with
the privileges guaranteed by the con-
stitution Of the United tSates.
Such is the love for humanity which
pervades Washingtos that If 1t were
learned that a single citizen of the
United States, even a black citizen,
had not been allowed to vote, all the
officials and agents and investigators
of the department of justice would
resign in humiliation and President
would refuse to accept an
office SO given him.-Chicago Tribune.
