The people who turned out to see the ex-President and hear his three-minute rear-platform, speeches, were as cordial as those who met him on former days of his trip. They came dressed in their work-a-day clothes, which pleased the colonel immensely. Many of the men had on blue flannel shirts and jumpers and the women wore poke bonnets.

"It's good to be here and to see you men and women of the west," said the colonel, his face beaming with pleasure. "I have been impressed in going through this region with the developments of your sugar beet and alfalfa.

Many Similar Scenes. There were s'milar scenes at a dozen places aiongr the line of the railroad during the day. "Wherever he stopped, the colonel talked to the people about honesty and good citizenship and was always cheered for what he said. The people of Ordway stocked the entire train with watermelons and canteloupes grown on the spot. They had a sign at the station informing everyone that Ordway is the best town in the Arkansas valley.

"I know you people out here, and you know me," the coionel said to the crowds at Eads. "You bet we do," the crowds shouted back. "I trust you with all my heart," the colonel continued.
