gram was carried out to the letter,
and the Cow Club and people OF

ing, and the Judging contest among
the embryo farmers and dairymen
of the county, including students
from both the Lamar and Holly
schools, was decidedly animated.

ing directors of the land company,
was the chief orator.
Mr.. Partridge in his opening re-
marks stated that Dairy Day was
not one mans work but was a
cOnsummation of the efforts and
community spirit of all the Holly
people and the dairymen of the
Holly district which is now so
clearly on the dairy map of the
state. Mayor Harry d. Steele was
the first speaker introduced and
heartily welcomed the guests to the
city on this occasion and then
briefly noted the development of
the dairy industry here in the past
three years.
Senator Parish of Lamar was the
next speaker and in the course of
his brief address stated when he
was here IS years ago Holly was
not the Holly of today and that the
