The meeting of the Holly Cow
Club last Thursday night at Arkan-
Valley Land Co. building was
we'll attended and a very enjoyable
session. President w. S. Partridge
and Secretary E. Roger Jones were
both present, even though this was
Mr.. Jones' last night in town before
his departure for Denver to live.
The business session included the
presentation of various reports,
which were Of special interest, and
particularly the financial report.
which showed $500 of balance in
the treasury. $3.50 of which is in the
form of Liberty Bonds which the

Guiding all the leading dairy men

The election of officers resulted in
the unanimous reelection of w. S.

Ill the next meeting of the club.
Arrangements are now being COM

elusive. This feature of the clubs s
work will be under the direction of
Prof. Clark of the State Agricultural

to combine the session with short

ing which phases of both dry and ir-
cigated land farming will be dis
cussed by experts from the state ag-
ricultural college.
All the sessions will be held in the
auditorium of the High school build
ing this year. The Cow club fea-
ture will be continuation of the
course last year on feeding and GER
tain lines of breeding dairy cattle
On account of the big snow storm
of few weeks ago and the extreme
ly bad conditions which have since
prevailed, it was deemed best to dis
pense with the Annual Dairy Day
celebration, usually held the first
week in March. for this year IT
was the opinion of nearly all dairy
men present that it would be very
difficult, if not impossible, to get
the stock ready this year. 1t was
also the concensus of opinion, how
ever, that annual dairy day should
not be permanently dropped, but
that preparations for next years day
should be made with the idea of
eclipsing anything of the kind in the
past.
Three annual dairy days of the
Holly Cow Club have ben held here
with marked success and have added
great interest and impetus to the
dairy and cattle industry. The eX-
hibits of stock have been a most i'm
portant feature.
Just before the social hour at
Monday nights session President
Partridge announced the resignation
of E. Roger Jones, as cashier of the
Land company and as secretary of
the Cow Club in order to enter in
business for himself in Denver,
whereupon various members of the
club expressed their regrets at Mr..
Jones' departure. President Part
ridge also paid Mr.. Jones the highest
tribute for his answering integ-
rity, efficiency and congeniality as a
man. AS a further testimonial of
the esteem in which he is held by the
club, Mr.. ]. A. Pierce on behalf of
the club and in a very unique little
speech presented Mr.. Jones a check
for $50 with the admonition to pur-
chase something useful or beautiful
which could be appreciated and en-
joyed by both Mr. Jones and his
wife.
Mr.. c. F. Hampton who arrived
the first of the week from New York
City to succeed Mr.. Jones as cashier
of the Land company. was then in
troduced and a social hour followed,
during which coffee and cake were
served and the ladies and gentlemen
present became acquainted and had
a delightful evening.
