you both would love Kansas City,
Mo. 1t Is a wonderful city in the
Heart of the Nation There on the
streets and in the hotels you find the
smartly dressed easterner on business
walking along side cowboy in his big
hat and the prosperous ranch owner
and oil man who are in the city for
a few days attending to the shipping of
cattle or the placing Of their oil in the
hands OF one of the many big oil COM
panies. The city fairly booms with the
noise Of business and prosperity. One
newspaper mn told me when showing
me through one of the most up-to-date
newspaper plants have ever seen
that real estate ment and contractors
say u will take ten years for them to
catch up in the building necessary to
take care OF the growing needs OF the
city. Dozens Of apartment houses are
being built and hundred of houses. The
lumber business is getting back to
normal in comparison with the slump
through which 1t has passed. The ho-
tells are crowded and there is no talk
OF hard times.
From Kansas City passed down
through Oklahoma and into the great
state OF Texas. Even In the South
where men are naturally inclined to
make light OF a Republican admins
tration found business SO active that
there was no complaint In fact, the
South is now enjoying the greatest
prosperity 1t has known in many,
many years. The cotton crop OF the
past year brought about a billion and
half dollars into that section Of the
country. and in recent years cotton
manufacturing has increased so rapid
ly that now the South puts into manu-
featured form more than half the cot
ton IL produces.
Among other things learned while
was making a swing through the
South l might mention; the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad is spending ST.
900, 900 for double tracking and other
improvements; Norfolk, Virginia, Is
spending five million dollars on water
front terminal facilities to aid in ocean
shipping; new Industrial plants cost
ing more than five million dollars are
being erected near Baltimore; in the
state OF Mississippi there are school
buildings under construction that will
cost a total OF s2,5O0.OO0; in the first
nine months OF 1922 contracts were lei
for the construction OF various kinds
OF buildings in the South to cost ovel
four hundred millions.
Those are big figures. children, anC
know you will not be able to grasI
them, but l am giving them to show
that the people OF this section hav'
great confidence in the future. Peopl'
do rot put money into buildings unless
they are satisfied that there is goo'
