IOWA HONoRS HERBERT HOOVER

Iowas confidence in Herbert Hoover was
splendidly illustrated Tuesday when thousands Of
them gathered in his old home town, West Branch,
to greet him and wish him well in his for the
Presidency of the United States.
In keeping with the tastes Of this Quaker boy
the ceremonies were simple. His forebears came
to Iowa in the very early days, taking up the avoca-
ton. of farming. Amid these surroundings Mr..
Hoover was born and reared, until the death Of
his parents when young lad he was forced to go
out into the world and fight for his very existence.
In working his way through school and col
lege he was not ashamed to do mental labor to
achieve the education which he desired
His entire life has been one of hard work,
and probably no man ever nominated for the high
office of President has had greater appreciation
of the needs and aspirations of the great common
people of the Middle West than Herbert Hoover.
In his brief West Branch address he reviewed
and enlarged his agricultural program. Tuesday
he stated that if he selected President he
would call former Governor of Illinois, Frank Low
den and other prominent farmers to assist in form
ulating practical farm program. He will, soon
after he is inaugurated as possible, assemble Con-
gress, and keep it in session until practical farm
program is enacted into law. In his West Branch
address Mr.. Hoover enlarged his plan for the de-
velopment of river and Great Lakes waterways as
follows
This increase in transportation rates also af-
fects the prices of many things which the
farmer must buy, for much material
which comes into the midwest pays the in
creased freight and this in turn is taken up
by the consumer. We cannot return to pre-
railway rates without ruin to the rail-
ways. Therefore, I have long asserted that
the real hope of reducing charges upon our
bulk goods was through the modernization of
our greater interior waterways. By moderni-
cation, I mean increasing depths to a point
where we can handle 5000 to 10000 tons
in a line of barges pulled by tug This ad-
ministration has authorized the systematic I'M
dertakng of this modernization. Within a
few years will have completed the deepen
ing of the Ohio UP to Pittsburg, the Missouri
up to Kansas City, Omaha, and. beyond the
Mississippi to st. Paul and Minneapolis, the
Illinois to Chicago. We already have expert
ence with results, for with only the main river
from st. Louis to New Orleans as yet working
properly, the rates for transportation of bulk
agricultural products through that section rs
pre-war railway rates. We will not have
the advantage of full results until the entire
Mississippi and it's tributaries are in one con-
nected transportation system.
We have another great opportunity of relief
in the building of shipway from the Great
Lakes to the sea. Our engineers have rec
commended the St. Lawrence route as the pre-
ferable outlet The administration has under
taken negotiations with Canada upon the SUBJ

Animal Tuberculosis

Cats and dogs are not prone to
tuberculosis, but may in rare cases
contract it from infected cattle or
their milk. or from infected humans.
Animals, however, probably are
more susceptible to the bovine form
of the bacillus than the human
type.

Many spectacular scenes with the Golden Lion, a splendid animal which Tarzan has trained as a companion, and the vivid and colorful fight in the Diamond Palace with the gigantic high priest and his cohorts, will be long remembered by the audi ence.
 James Pierce, new screen find of imposing physique and athletic record, gives superb in- depreciation of Tarzan. Edna Mur- phy and Harold Goodwin in the leading juvenile roles are excel lently cast and do fine work, and Lii Yu-Ching, the Chinese Giant, is as striking and impressive as the high priest. Boris Karloff, Doro thy Dunbar, Fred Peters, Robert Bolder and D'Arcy Corrigan al give splendid performances.
