I hearty reception

Mr.. Oliver then began to detail his
work done in bchaif OF the Cape. II
was decided at the meeting with the
commissioners to have the commits
siOners decide which Of the Missouri
cities would be best suited for the
plant and then the Missourians in Con-
gress would worI, for that city. The
main thing to do, he said, is to get the
commission to visit Missouri and look
over this State to see whether it can
offer sufficient advantages to be con-
sidered in this proposition.
The commission met Monday night
10 go over the briefs that were filed
by the various cities. All cities that
do not come up to the expectations Will
be eliminated from the race, Admiral
Fletcher told the Cape delegate
In the brief filed with the board by
Senator Oliver it is shown how favor
ably the Cape is located for the ship
ment Of ore and other material to be
used by the plant. 1t Is very acces-
sible to the States in the South that
produce great quantities of ore and
has the best connections with the
States of the South in which coal Is
mined. 1t is also pointed out that the
Mississippi is navigablc, and this
would aid in shipping ore and coal to
the Cape.
There are but three Missouri cities
asking for the armor plant. They are
Cape Girardeau, Hannibal and Louis
lana. Senator Stone does not con-
slider either Hannibal or Louisiana
eligible for the project. Inasmuch as
both of these towns are near Speaker
Clark's home and Us ne is supporting
Cape Girardeau, it is believed that he
holds Senator stone ) views.
MILK IN WINTER
Why do your cows give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does not supply

was very favorably impressed by the
fact that the commission held a con-
ference with the representatives of
Missouri and himself after he had been

mission by United States Senator W.
j. Stone. He was accompanied by
Speaker Champ Clark. Senator Reed.

in Congress.
During the conference with the
commission, Admiral Fletcher, chair
main of the board, told Senator Oliver
that the plant would be located near a
city in the midst of an ore mining
district. This place would also have
to be easily accessible to coal fields.
81 am confident that Cape Girardeau
has a fine chance to land this plant, .
Senator Oliver said. at has the best
chance of any city in Missouri. The
fact that | was admitted to the board
despite the announcement that no one
would be granted an oral hearing, is !
good omen for the Cape. Congress
man Lloyd attempted to have Speaker
Clark support Hannibal in the race for
the plant, but he did not succeed, and
the fact that the Speaker accompanied
me to the hoard is to be regarded as
another step toward victory for Cape
Girardcau.'
The paint would not likely be located
in the East, the Senator said, because
of the lack Of the raw material that
will be used by the plant. The States
that have the largest output of ore are
Wisconsin. Michigan and Minnesota,
according to the president Of the Chi
cago & Alton Railroad in his address
to the Business Mems League of st.
Louis, d week ago. and connection
with these States is very readily had.
