A light, drizzling rain beat down
Monday upon Herbert Hoover antl his
vast inaugural crowd of .'ifi.OOO per-
.iti. when the former Iowa farm hoy
was uiiministereil the oath of office
m a simple ceremony at the foot of
the Capitol steps here shortly after
I p. sn.
Bareheaded in the face of the rain
Mr. Hoover wore his overcoat as he
bowed anil kissed the Bible facing
the colorful but drenched assembly
to deliver his inaugural address.
They stamped their applause of hi"
apcal for co-operation in law enforce-
ment ami his announcement that*he
intended to appoint a commission to
investigate all crime, including vio-
lation of the prohibition act.
Tiler*; was a high roof over the
pavilion, supported by large white
columns, but the covering offered
little protection to Mr. Hoover as ho
stood Is'fore the microphones set j
away from the stand. Mr. Coolidge
and memlMTs of both families were ^
better safeguarded from the drizzle. ,
Th retiring President sat. beside
his wife, his silk hat in his hand-
ready to go to his old home in North,
hampton, Mass., a> soon as the
Capitol ceremonies were concluded.
Tlv crowd was said by police of-
ficial- to bt much larger than at
. it he i recent inaugurals. There
were Indian: in the full regalia of j

cheese per month. The most intensive Teachers Association' to
development of dairy herds in Wichi-
ta Fails territory could not supply
us with enough milk to meet our ex-
isting demands for bulk cheese alone.
This does not take into consideration
the fact thae we have also planned
to produce all our package goods in
Texas which are required to supply
this market. Our demand for this
type of goods would require several
hundreds thousand more pounds of
milk i er month.
"Very few Texas people have any
conception of the tremendous market
for dairy products which exist with-
out stimulaion in the state of Texas i
alone today.
The state of Texas imports between !
fifteen and eighteen million dollars1
worth of tlniry produats annually.
Approximately four million dollars
worth of this is for cheese.
Necessarily Texas people are pay-
ing a higher price for these dairy
luetH than the people of Wiscon-
for instance, in which state there I
i bleed about "a net' cent of the
total cheese production of the I nited
States.
It amuses me to hi ii from many
