That all Iowa should be proud of Iowa's part in the
Panama-Pacc exposition is the view OF Senator A. B.
Cummns just returned from a tour of Hawaii and the
western coast No Iowa appreciates fully his
wonderful state than does the senior senator That he
was pleased and is greatly apprecative be learned
from his testimony printed in the Register and Leader
as follows:
II want to say" he volunteered, chat the
San Francisco fair is worth the long trip out
there. 1t is wonderful. And congratulate
Iowa upon her representatives out there. Will
bur Marsh, as chairman of the Iowa board,
and Woodwork Clum, secretary, have done
more than ever dreamed they could do on
the small amount of money they have to ex-
pend Iowa is in the front rank of the states
represented. Marsh is the most popular man
about the fair. He is sought by everybody,
and liked by everybody. Clum is an ideal sec
retary efficient, alert and capable in every
way Together they have written Iowas
name at the head of the list. The exhibit of
Iowa corn is worth a trip across the continent
and it will no doubt, be given place high in
the list of awards. Nothing less than genius
conceived it."

testimony of the greatness of Iowa. heraded to the
world, should be sufficient to convince that the
who insisted that Iowa make suitable showing at the
exposition have done the state most excellent service
and that they deserving of all Iowas praise-es-
pecaly so as they proceeded with their work in the
face of great difficulties.
1t is hoped from this success will result broader

What it means to Iowa, and especially to the Iowa
farmer to have it known broadcast the world that
Iowa is the peer of all Observation-Disclosures
that Iowa is the brightest spot in the word-can with
out much thought be reasoned out For the farmer it
means not only a boost for Iowa land but it means
placing him before the world at the top of agricutur
alsts. To be known the state of the most fruitful
soil and most prosperity, much to person
having any interest in Iowa.
The Greater Iowa association is composed of
