! Aretas z. Kepford. the man behind
/ the war on the white plague in Iowa
! recalls the fact that ten years have
| elapsed since the war began, and thai
| these ten years have BEN fruitful Of
! great results. 1t is fair to assume thai
another decade may see the white
plagus practically wiped out in the
Hawkeye state. And many who
| scofTed ten years ago, and who claim
| ed that it was waste of time anc
effort. have some to see the error O
tn cir ways and are enlisted for th'
war. The state was most fortunate II
finding A. E. Kepford to take charge
of the work and it would be Difficult
to find a man to take his place. Fo
he is resourceful, enthusiastic, untir
ing and withal eminently practical.
