ANNUAL Y. NJ. Is. A. MEETING
Yambas Elect Officers for Ensuing
Year and Decide TO Hold Fair
in Lamar Next Year.

The annual meeting of the Ianbas
called for the purpose of electing of
ficers for the ensuing year - arrang-
ing plans for future work was held at
the Elks club rooms last Friday even
ing and proved an enthusiastic and
largely attended gathering. The elcc-
tion resulted in the following officers
being chosen for the coming year:
President, Fred w Marx.
Vice President, c. C. Huddleston.
Secretary, II. l.. Christy.
Treasurer, Fred Kelsey.
Board of Directors, r. L. Nye, VI. K
Sunday, W. II. Brown, Chns. Maxwell
tbanker), Cora X. Strain, ]. S. Max
well. Glen L. Kirkpatrick.
The subject Of future work along
the lines OF boosting Lamar and Prov
ers county-always the first considera-
ton of this live organization-were
discussed by number of those pres
ent. County Agent Sweitzer explain
ed the success that had been attained
by the four or five community fairs
held this fall, and how these fine dis
plays could be afterwards combined in
big county fair. This subject was
discussed at length and it was decided
with unanimity and enthusiasm to have
fair in Lamar next year.
A number of the members were so
enthusiastic that they wanted to hold
fair yet this fall, but the majority
decided that by the time arrangements
could be completed the weather condi-
tions would be too uncertain. Next
year, however, there will be a real
fair. Committees will soon be appoint
ed and will take hold early enough to
arrange for fair that will be a credit
to our county and city.
The committee on iamba member
ship will soon start the annual cam
paign to secure members, and all the
live wires of the city will be expected
to get in the bandwagon and be ready
to go.

RUMORS FALSE
Absolutely No Truth in Stories About
the Helvetia Condensery
Closing.

For several days rumors have been
floating around the street that the
Helvetia Co. had closed its Mulvaine
and Highland plants and expected to
shut down here the last of this week.
Mr.. T. /. Reynolds, field man in charge
of production activities, informs us
there is no foundation at all in these
stories. He had just returned from
Mulvaine and that plant was running
with increased supply, and his orders
are to encourage in every Legitimate
way increased production here. The
company always has taken care of its
patrons and will continue that policy.
All present patrons and those contem-
plating entering the dairy business
can be assured Of a continued market
for all the milk they produce.
