NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
That all Iowa should be proud Of Iowas part in the
Panama-Pacifc exposition is the view Of Senator A. B.
Cummins just returned from tour of Hawaii and the
western coast No Iowa appreciates more fully ms
wonderful state than does the senior senator That ne
pleased and is greatly appreciative, may ba learned
from his testimony printed in the Register and Leader
as follows: %.#
II want to say" he volunteered, that the
San Francisco fair is worth the long trip out
there. 1t is wonderful: And l congratulate 3I,
Iowa upon her representatives out there Will
bur Marsh, chairman of the Iowa board,
and Woodwork Cum, as secretary have done
more than l 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, u,
and liked by everybody. Cum is an ideal sec
rotary, efficient, alert and capable in every
way 4 G ha;d ey st a of
Iowa corn is worth trip across the continent
and it will, no doubt, be given place high in
the list of awards Nothing less than genius

individual exhibits of Iowa received or hon.
orable mention for agricultural exhibits. .@ss -
Individual exhibitors awarded two,

The news coming from the Panama-Pacifc EXPOSE
has hpan rather
that Iowa has honored hersefbv being given recogn
ton, in the agricultural class, all exhibitors will
be received with qualification by all Iowa people. This
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 praises
pecialy they proceeded with their work in the
face of great difficulties &H@4nt &$ M
It is hoped from this success will result broader
view Iowa of all things designed to place the state in
a favorable light before the country and the world.
What it means to Iowa, and especially to the Iowa
farmer to have known broadcast the world that
Iowa is the peer of all agrcuturally-w
that Iowa is the brightest spot in the worldcan 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 agrcutur
alsts To be known the state Of the most fruitful
soil and most prosperity means much to
having any interest in Iowa. Y r. .&.>Ss
The Greater Iowa association is composed of men
who. all along have recognized the greatness Of Iowa.
It lot of their time and vast amount Of
mental and physical energy but they have succeeded in
convincing the skeptics and standpatters of their
state as well as the world that Iowa Is deserving Of
all they have claimed for her-and in the great cause
for the good Iowa alone they will feel satisfaction in
the reward that has far come to the state by
of their unselfsh efforts directed in seeing that their
state gets its due before the world.
Truly it is remarkable that of 289 invdual exhibits
all but four received prizes honorable mention.
