wants Iowa to send a stock train OF
its best animals across the divide to
the exposition, and to establish these
In ten. and invite all the ex-Iowans
to see what their former state has
been doing. Such an exhibit would
be worth all the exposition, he thinks.
Financing Explained.
| G. D. Cass Of Waterloo explained
that Waterloo had given $4,000 20
the movement What was wanted
from the rest of the state was bank
able securities on which to borrow
money. He said the legislature would
ino doubt return all the money thus
borrowed II it didn't then there
were other ways Of getting it back.
The revenue from advertising motion
pictures for one thing, and the sale OF
souvenirs for another, he thought,
would be two OF .he best ways to get
the money back.
MT. Cass told Of the trip TO dedicate
the site with the governors party. and
how they secured several thousand
square feet OF exhibit space, when
they told the ohicials unless they
could have exhibit space they would
refuse to dedicate building site or
put up building.
| Professor Curtis Of Ames, thought
there was too much contentment in
Iowa r was much like the fat dogs,
who were too fat to do any hunting.
Bolton for Greater Iowa.
!; Ralph Bolton, secretary OF the
Greater iowa movement deplored
the jealousies existing between the
towns in the state. and wanted the
cities to get together and work to-
gether I'VE wish the spirit could be
developed so that when Keokuk has
problem you will feel free to call In
Waterloo, Des Moines, any of the
cities 20 help you solve that prob
lem," said Mr.. Bolton. I'VE deplore
the spirit which kills many things be-
cause it's Des Moines' or Keokuk's
movement. This Greater Iowa move
ment means get-together movement
and some time we will be on intimate
enough terms to call each o.her Bill
and John and Tom. That is what we
are working for-to get together"
| Mr.. Bolton told of the various mem
berships possible, and said that they
hoped to get several from Keokuk.
Speak for keokuk.
c. R. Joy, president of the Indus
trial association was called on. He
said that he felt Inundated over the
turn affairs had taken, as Keokuk al
ways had been noted for her hospi-

knew nothing Of the visit until Satur.
4 day. and then 1t was too late to get
the men together to plan any recep-
ton. It was impossible to accept tbs
committees invitation to dinner, he
felt, as Keokuk did not like to play
guest in its own town. That was why
the local men did not 60 to dinner
| with the visitors.
! Mr.. Joy explained that the Indus
trial association had been passing
the hat" great deal of late, and he
did not know what to say or do last

taken then as the association was

o. B. Towne backed Mr.. Joy in his
statement as to not being able to take
any action last night. However, he
4, said action would be taken this after
noon II that would be satisfactory. Mr..

the committee to leave man here
