It is fitting that the state dairy
association .should meet in Ilills
boro, where is found the center
of (lit greatest dairy county in
all the I'aeitie Northwest. We
will be able to show them a con
denser that has cost over a quar
ter of a million, and if built to
day would cost nearer a million
we will show them a stream of
milk wagons that will make their
cyo stiek out, ami, besides, we
will show them that Ilillsboro
knows how to entertain them. If
Mike Wisdom was alive, and he
were to be with us, he would as
sure them that for a hang-up
time the dairy association never
experienced anything like the
time he was here at a state meet
ing in years past when Hill Well
rung was a number of the State
l air Hoard 'the time the toasts
of the chairman at table made
more than one man bunt his hole.
Come on. boys, the county that
put the cream in the dairy business!
