on Wednesday evening was not so
large nor enthusiastic, but never
theless not lacking in LOYALTY to

The storm Monday night pre-
vented the second lap of the auto
tour planned for Tuesday, so The
route of Tuesday and Wednesday
was doubled UP for the latter day
and proved great success.

thousands of acres OF newly
planted corn. its cattle ON thou
sand hills and it's gardens and or.

requiring almost an hour and
quarter, through some of the most
enchanting scenes of rural life to
be found anywhere in Iowa. Al
Dunlap a great crowd greeted
Mrs. Funk, who had gone ahead
OF the party by train. Hundreds
listened cheerfully to her recital
of the struggles made for the well
fare of the women of the great
cities and in the industrial states.
