the early days of Washington and

tons here.
The first owner Of the building
did not live long to enjoy his
home, and his wife was forced to
rent it to pay off the mortgage.
The first foreign tenant was
Count Montholon, whose father had
been exiled from France with Ma
poleon Bonaparte.
Baron Gerolt, another foreign oc.
cupant, made his home there for
eight years.
When the Chevalier de Potestal,
of the Spanish legation, was resid-
ing at this house during the Civil
War, the Southern army was seek.

ton. The Spanish diplomat became
frightened and sought to raise the
Spanish flag over his home.
One of the first Senators from the
State of Arkansas, Governor Full

serving term in the United States
Senate.
The old building was the scene of
many historic conferences and much
social activity when tenanted by r.

SOUTHWEST ON THE MAP

The Southwest is taking it's place
on the map of our nation. Water
power development and irrigation are
adding their wealth to the accomplish
ments of the region. The new tunnel
will open great new empire in North
Western Colorado, rich with unlimit-
ed mineral and oil shale beds. The
coal deposits are estimated to be large
enough to keep the United States in
power for approximately 1900 years.
Colrado as a state has covered it
self with glory in this tunnel enter
prise. Under a special act of the
Colorado legislature the Moffat Tun-
mel Commissioners have carried on
their great engineering project.
Modern engineering methods and
high explosives have blasted Ameri-
cas- wonderful railroad tunnel-a
tunnel "a by 16 feet and Gil miles
in length. This work has been done
with comparative safety to the $50
men who have been employed in the
tunnel. When the blasting is all done
and the East and West are nearer by
railroad travel, motorists, too. will no
longer have to climb the Rockies at
this point as their automobiles will be
hauled through on flat cars.
Fitzgerald leader enterprise and press., 1927-03-10

President Coolidge opened the pas
sageway which the Moffat Tunnel fur
nishes between the East and the West.
The Continental Divide has been
natures greatest obstacle to the
westward progress of man in the
United States. But touch of key
in Washington and an electric cur
rent penetrated the formidable range
of the Rocky Mountains west of Den
yer. This means that the tunnel when
completed by the Colorado Tunnel
Commission will furnish an almost
direct railroad line between Denver
and Salt Lake City. 1t will save an
elevation of 2,406 feet, and lessen
the railroad distance nearly 175 miles
between Denver and Salt Lake city.
This is one of the great engineer
ing feats of this generation, and the
story related in Washington in con-
nection with the participation of the
President in last weeks ceremonies
chronicles the historic fact that when
the key was touched in the White
House that tunnel driller beneath
James Peak closed an electric switch
and an instant later the big boom that
penetrated the Rockies was heard.

FARMERS AND THE LAND
RANKS

Farmers throughout the United
States are going to ask Congress some
pointed questions about the Federal
Farm Loan system. The opening gun
in their campaign comes this month
from Huston Thompson, one of Che
original members of the Federal
Trade Commission, who discussus The
situation in the columns of Farm and
Fireside.
"Give US the truth" urges Farm
and Fireside, which sums up Mr..
Thompson's article as pointing out
that the 100000 farmer stockholders
who own the twelve federal land
banks do not receive vital information
to which they are entitled.
Mr.. Thompson's article will be at
tentively read by farmers-and prob
ably also by politicians all parts
of the country. 1t is too long and
too closely written to be summed up
in a few lines, but a paragraph or
two will indicate it's trend:
Farmers who own $55, 100000 of
stock in the twelve land banks are
worse off than stockholders in any
other reputable enterprise in the
United States" says Mr.. Thompson.
"In any normal corporation the hol-
der of securities automatically re-
ceives an annual financial statement
which deals with that enterprise and
no other. Farmers who hold stock in
the district land banks receive no an
nual report without solicitation.
Washington gives out consolidated
statement which would confuse any
but an expert. Even for an expert
the information is inadequate.
without the general knowledge OF
the farmers who foot the bill, ex-
penses of the Loan Board in Wash
ington have swelled to more than
$5OO,O0O annually. Stockholders
will not find this item in the report.
There are 600 appraisers and exam
iners constantly travelling"

farmers say, that the Land Board CIV

MORE REPORTS OF
GOITRE

| An alarming increase in goitre in
the section of Germany where syn
thetic nitrogenous fertilizers have
been in use since the War, has result
ed in extraordinary measures being
taken to combat it by the Prussian
Government. The attention of the
German people was recently called to
this matter by Director Krohn of the
Prussian Health Department. In a
report to his government, he request
ed the Prussian Diet Finance Com
mittee to appropriate $4,000 marks
to combat the spread of goitre. Since
iodine is considered a specific for the
affliction, Director Krohn said, the
cropping up of the disease is directly
traceable to the substitution of Ger
man chemical fertilizers for nitrate
of sode which used to be imported
from Chile and which contain iodine.
1t is hoped to induce manufacturers
of synthetic products to include 10
dine salts in their fertilizers but
whether this can be done SATISFACTORY
ly, is problematical. Iodine is one of
the basic elements of Chilean Nitrate
of Soda and scientists believe that its
presence there is evidence that the
great nitrate of soda beds in Northern
Chile were at one time under the
sea since iodine is also a constituent
of salt water. 1t was not until 1898
that it was found that the normal
thyroid gland contained iodine.
Studies Immediately following chief
ly by DR.. Marine, show that the thy
roid has a remarkab niffaeletaoihrd
roid has a remarkable affinity for
iodine. Unless it contains its maxi
mum capacity, it will absorb the ele-
ments from any source, whether by
the mouth, painted on the skin or in
breathing sea spray. If iodine is in
jected in to the hind leg of dog. it
can be recovered from the thyroid in
few seconds. When the gland is de-
prived of its minimum amount. the
sacs of colloid cells grow smaller, the
layers of epithelial cells thicken and
pile up and the result is goitre. BY
replacing the iodine in young gol-
tire, the gland retains its normal size
by process of involution.

A month-old drive by alcohol rob-
bers, who terrorized the village OF
Eden Prairie while they raided a
freight train and carted off carload
of alcohol, was revealed yesterday by

Armed with shotguns and other
weapons, the gang of men sent resi-

the night of January 6. while they
casually patroled the railroad station
as the alcohol, valued at $40, 900, was
unloaded. Residents said that they
kept to their homes for several hours.
because they saw that the gang meant
business.
So far six men have been arrested.
Federal authorities drew veil of Sc
crecy over the raid until yesterday,
when f. J. Jennings was held to the
grand jury on a charge of conspiracy
to violate the prohibition act William
Freeburg, conductor of the freight
train, was one of the others arrested.

CUBA WILL BLOCK
CAPT. CAR|BALD|
Italian, Deported by France,
Believed Planning to Land
at Havana From England.

HAVANA, February 3.-Capt. Ric.
CLOTH Garibaldi, citizen of Italy, who
who was ordered to leave France
recently because of completely in the
Catalonian separation plot. will not
be allowed to disembark at Ha
vana, the Commissioner OF ImmigTa-
ton, Hugo Roberts, asserts. 1t Is
understood that Garibaldi intends to
come to Cuba from Europe, a visa
to land in the United States having
been refused him by the American
authorities.
The commissioner explained that a
presidential decree exists forbidding
the admission of foreigners expelled
from other countries. While the
Cuban constitution protects foreigners
finding haven here from political
prosecution, Garibaldi's case is not
classed in this category.
Should Garibaldi arrive at Havana,
he will have to proceed to some port
other than Cuban, or it would be
necessary to intern him at the immi
grafton station until he could be de-
ported.
Ricciotti Garibaldi. it is believed, in
tends to sail on the British steamer
Oroya from Liverpool Thursday. After
leaving France he was permitted to
remain on English soil until he could
make arrangements for sailing, his
original objective point being Cuba.
The Oroya's ports of call include
several in South America.
