Iowa.
Those close to the president point
out that the president. in an address
at Hutchison, Kan. last month. pre-
sented list of measures instituted
farmers which he said should re-
store the agricultural industry to nor
NAL.
Any further legislation at this time
1t Is held by some of the presidents
advisers would do more to hinder
that restoration than to help it.
The president and Mrs. Harding and
their party were today en- route from
Cordova to Sitka where they expect
to arrive tomorrow for an all day
visit before bidding farewell to Alas
ks.
The president. enthralled. viewed
the massive ice cliffs of Childs glacier
yesterday. Told that gunshot would
usually cause great masses OF ice to
break off, he asked one of the secret
service men to fire at the glacier with
his pistol. But the distance was too
great.
Just as the president was leaving
a mass of Ice greater than any of the
others broke away and plunging into
the river sent the waters ashore like
q tidal WAVE.
