in this city Monday in large num-
Der. The meeting was held In the
Community Club rooms, the morn
ing session being called to order at
10:45 by President Oscar Lying,
was given over to the business Of
the organization.
President Lying In his opening
address stated the purpose Of the
meeting and extended his sympa-
thy to all patrons who had suffer-
ed sorrows since the meeting Of
last year. He paid a splendid tri-
butte to Asa Wallace, late editor Of
the Herald, and asked all to stand
as a silent tribute to his memory.

1t he written by DR.. J. A. Dubois
and published in the Herald. The
following is the letter:
At this, the first annual
meeting Of our organization
since the death Of Mr.. Wallace,
there comes to us a fond re-
membrance of the many occas-
sions when his activities were
attached to our interests. He
was a constant attendant at our
gatherings, and we early
found his opinions and his adj
vice most salutatory; and we
believe in the struggling days
when our early organizers
were engaged In building up
against great odds this asso-
citation, Of which now we are
justly proud, he was one Of the
first to impress upon us the
fact that the scope of our en-
terprise extended much fur
Their than the mere personal
protection Of the interests of
our members. Our success had
wrapped up in it the welfare
OF the whole community To
that extent indeed we were to
become a public benefactor.
Asa M. Wallace was our friend
and his memory shall long be
cherished.
The Herald publishers sincerely
appreciate this splendid tribute to
the memory Of their late partner
and co-worker, Asa Wallace.
The minutes Of the past years
annual session and the annual re-
ports were read by Secretary Geo.

several OF the items contained to
the patrons. J. Matthiesen COM

appreciation Of local sales, stating
that the farmers of this commun-
ity are entitled to the local butter
market. The annual report Of the
association, which was accepted by
the stockholders, will be found on
page four Of this issue.
Oscar Lying, F. J. Minette and
Paul Domke were unanimously re-
elected as directors. These men
have given much time and thought
to their cooperative institution,
and they are splendidly equipped
for the positions OF trust to which
they have been elected.
M. p. Mortensen, Land o. Lakes
fieldman Of this district, was called
upon for talk and he gave an
idea Of the comparison Of the local
creamery with that of similar or
gandzations in other communities
He stated that he had looked for
q larger drop in butterfat produc-
ton In this community owing to
the drouth and lack Of feed, but
was surprised to find that it had
held UP wonderfully well, regard
less He also stated that the price
received in proportion to the mar
ket Of the past year was the best
OF any year since the creamery
was organized. He complimented A.
NJ Cordell, buttermaker, on his ef-
ficiency, stating that Sank Lake
