Raced fitK 7 Lightning on 4 Heels in Night Pulls Into Boone 35 Minutes Late, Then Strikes Out Through Grain Belt. By International New* Service, JJes Moines, Is., Aug. 6.—Rushing through Iowa today a modern cara van of sorrow carried the body of the 29th president of the United States to the nation's capital as the state “stood by’’ in reverance to a martyr of peace. Thousands of Iowans gathered at Boone, Ames and Clinton to pay their last respects to the honored dead. This morning Mrs. Harding gazed upon a rolling landscape of green and golden corn and farm houses reminiscent of her home state of Ohio. * Impressive Masonic rituals of honor for the dead was exemplified at Boone by the Knights Templar of western Iowa, and at Clinton by the Knights Templar of eastern Iowa. The funeral cortege was making up lost time as it sped through the na tion's "avenue of sorrow.’* and left Boone, la.. 35 minutes behind sched * ule time. Taps were sounded as the train slid away from the Boone sta tion, where the streets were packed with spectators. United States Senator A. B. Cum mins. lies Moines, who was to head the delegation of honor to meet the train and escort it through the state, was unable to officiate because of his duties as president of tlie senate calling him to Washington, and the other members of the party, includ ing distinguished Rowans from every t^^^Talk of lif^, decided to abandon the trip because of the crowded conditions obtaining on the presidential special. By International »w* Service. Aboard the Harding Funeral Train, Aug. 6.—Throughout most of the night, the train ran steadily away from a severe thunder and electrical storm which constantly was on its heels. The train only escaped from the rain and lightning when it cross ed the Missouri river early this morn ing and struck out through the Iowa grain belt. Officials aboard the train received assurances from Washing ton today that Mrs. Harding's desire for the capital ceremonies to follow the precedents established in the rites for President MicKinley will be carried out to the letter. There is a remarkable similarity in the careers and lives of these two Ohio presidents which is frequently commented upon by those aboard the funerul train. Each bad served his state in Columbus and in congress before going to the White House. Each wa» known for his sane con servatism, kindly human qualities, and each expired during his term of oflFe. Even In their domestic lives the parallel extends, Mrs. McKinley’s health was, after a severe Illness, very precarious and her husband was ever sollcitlous of her physical well being even as President Hard ing was so tenderly watchful of Mrs. ^^^fc'.rding ever since her severe Illness a year ago and yet despite her illness M,j. McKinley survived her husband even as now Mrs. Harding despite her Illness has survived him who was looked upon but a month ago as a picture of health and vigor.

Storage Warehouse Law Seen as Help to Farmers Specie! Itiipatrh to The Omaha Bee. Lincoln, Aug. C.—Determination of thousands of Nebraska farmers to hold their wheat for better prices has caused many to turn for relief t(f • storage warehouse law passed by the legislature in 1919 which, was recom mended by former Governor Me Kelvie. Inquiries as to the procedure neces sary are being received by Grant L. Shumway, secretary of agriculture. Following is the gist of the law: Apply to state department of agri culture for a bonded warehouse li cense and for an inspection of grains on hand. The state Inspector, in turn. Issues a sworn receipt to the effect that so many bushels of grain are on hand and this receipt, in turn, can be used as collateral by the farmer.

George E. Hall, secretary of finance and revenue, said. "While I am supposed to he in charge of th* bureau presided over by Mr. Mc Nichols, the governor arranges trips of officials outside of the state.
