ganized-A Fine Program.

w. R Clark the Northwestern Ohio
Veterinary Medical Association which
held it's Semi-annual Meeting here ON
Wednesday, was organized IN Wau-
seon on July 31st, 1907, with DIR. w.
r. Clark, president and DR.. A. j.
Kline, secretary. The Association at
first covered the three county's of
Fulton, Henry and Williams. now the
territory covered by the organization
includes all of the Northwestern quar-
ter of the State. At the first meet
ing, nine years ago there we're seven
members; the total membership at
present is over one hundred and it
IS estimated that about half of the
total membership were here for the
meeting Wednesday. This is the first
time since it's organization that the
association has met In Wauseon; the
annual meeting is always held in To-
ledo while the other meetings are
held IN the smaller towns of the dis
trict. It seems to be the consensus
OF opinion among the members, most
of whom are also members of the
State Association, that these meet
ings Of the smaller organization are
of more practical value than the
meetings of the State organization
which are more formal and technical
and do not seem to engender free
general discussion of the everyday
problems of the profession.
The program for the Wauseon
meeting was from professional point
of view exceptionally good including
four men who are acknowledged lead
ers and experts with national repu-
tations: DR.. E. L. Quitman of Chi
