The newly elected directors held
a meeting Tuesday evening for the
purpose OF electing officers for the
ensuing year. G. w. Milliken, who
has served so efficiently as presi-
dent OF the association the past
year. during which more has been
accomplished than in any previous
year OF the associations history. was
the unanimous choice OF the new
board OF directors to succeed him
self as president. and after consid-
erable urging he was prevailed upon
to accept.
G. c. Hearnsberger was unani-
mously elected to succeed himself as
secretary. but declined the honor on
account OF not having the time to
give II the attention II should have.
and the matter was finally turned
over to President Miiliken with
power to act In choosing secre-
tary. Mr.. Milliken informs us that
he has almost persuaded Mr..
HearnsDerger To accept the office of
secretary for another year. and Is
QUITE confident that he viii win out
as he does In almost everything else
that he undertakes. On account OF
his familiarity with the work OF the
association, and the interest he has
taken in It's affairs In the past. II
