and I have learned enough to know that It is worth worthwhile worthwhile worthwhile while for tor a president to travel Of or ourse course he could read about your re resources resources resources sources and your needs and by study studying studyIng ing books he could get Iet it all into his head but when he lie comes in contact with the people sees their hopefulness and optimism he gets a vi view w of a dif different different different ferent sort Then he makes make all sorts ot resolutions and if U he is wise lee he keeps them to himself elC elCI I can readily understand why so many of or your towns out this thia way ay are art dry It is because there is champagne in iii the air and it is the kind of cham champagne champ p that does not make you ou regret the th next morning what you ou did the day before At this point a proud father brought brou ht his little girl up to the tM rear platform holding the child up so o she slie could hand handa a bouquet to the President It was
