SORROW over Death OF EXECUTIVE
SHOWS Heart OF AMERICA True. LOYAL

On Board Harding Funeral Train

funeral train of the late President

Shows Heart of People
Aboard Harding Funeral Train,
Cedar Rapids, Iowa-(A. P.)-Mem-
bers of the party on the funeral train
are continually touched and their
eyes often grew misty today, as the
train sped through Iowa. The silent
crowds at the stations, including
Boone, Ames, Marshalltown, Legrand,
Belleplaine, and Cedar Rapids, were
impressively sad. But it was the in
dividuals along the railway tracks
which touched the hearts to their
depths-a farmer standing among his
corn rows, head barred and rough
straw hat clasped to his breast;
attention as his crippled condition
permitted; an engineer standing with
bowed head beside his locomotive; an
old lady crying softly to herself.
Thus it was shown that the heart of
America is true and sound.
