This committee is composed of eight members and acts as at guiding committee for the national organization. Its members visit the various state meetings and obtain their views on questions of interest to them and then convey their opinions to the national board. Last year the national association met at Atlantic City and this year it will "meet at San Francisco. Never before in the history of the Association has a man as young as Mr. Althoff been elected to these responsible positions, for, although the local dealer has been in business twep& i ty-four years, he is considered a junior among the many seasoned veteran* of the associations. ' The honor given Mr. Althoff is evidence of the high respect and esteem in which he is held by hardware men of the state, who appreciate his modf eni business principles and methods. 1 The Plaindealer joins with local friends in congratulations to Mr. A1 , thoff upon the honors shown him in • state and national associations. Mr. and Mrs. Althoff left Monday ' morning of last week for the.' state meeting in Peoria, returning home on Friday with ideal weather and good roads making the trip a pleasant one Ovtetanding Convention The Illinois Hardware convention was this year outstanding in many respects, the attendance was exceptional with 1,400 members registered, the exhibits larger and better than any year in the history of the organ ization and the program more elaborate than any previously put on by" the association. Three noted speakers 'were on the program at each morning session, with talks given daily by leading dealers, among these .being the dealer from McHenry. Mr. Althoff spoke Thursday morning on, "How! to Sell Volume Merchandise." The convention exhibits proved that times are improving because of the < large number of orders placed with exhibitors at the convention.

Mayor Neville Miller of Louisville turned to Chicago for dairy supplies because of the similarity of city ordinances under which the milk is produced in the two cities. Both cities distribute Gjrade "A" milk. Without sufficient pov^er, pasteurizing and bottling equipment in the flooded city was shut down. While the Chicago 'supply was ample, production departments of th! dairies worked overtime in dispatching the milk on evening Monon railroad trains which arrived at dawn daily at the outskirts of Louisville.

"Not even the worst flood in the history of the Ohio river valley can stop the milkman from delivering his all important food," said Potter in praise of the heroic work of milk de liverymen during the disaster. "It is escpecially necessary in times of catastrophe, such as the Ohio flood, that the milk must go through to combat disease and starvation and sustain especially the young and the. infirm." &. K.
