|. l.. Cady did not know enough
about the proposed ordinance to ex-

OF an interurban and intended to vote
for this one anyway. He knew that
an interurban road would be of vast
benefit to this city commercially.

news dealer, is enthusiastic. He said:

Col. j. NJ. Parker, the attorney rep
resenting the interurban company, was
asked for an explanation as to what
the company expected to do. While
much has been said of the scheme there
are still some it is found, who do not
exactly understand just what the COM
pany intends doing providing 1t obtains
the desired franchise. Colonel Parker
said:

men of MarshalItown last winter for
the purpose of bringing the Des Moines

English and American harvesting

English and American Harvesting
An interesting comparison may be
drawn between the lot Of the college
students and clerks who a few weeks
ago went west to help harvest the
wheat crop in Kansas and the Dakotas
and the London clerks who responded
TO the call Of English farmers in
gathering their harvest The Ameri-
can volunteers found ready employ
ment at wages from 81 to 50 per day
and board and lodging. and many were
dissatisfied even with these terms.
Many OF the London clerks spent their
vacation in the harvest fields working
for lodging and board and were glad
OF the opportunity. An English farm
er writing to a London paper, after
warning youths and weakly men
against this scheme OF working for

therefore with full knowledge Of the

the experiment IS a success and that

One would hope So II IS difficult
from an American point OF view TO see
how 1t could be solved more satisfac-
torily to the farmer unless the clerks
were to pay for the privilege OF har-
vesting the crops for nothing The

odd Cure for whoopInR Cough

Odd Cure for WhoopinE Cough
Hoop Bros. who own a Touring mill
at GAINESVILLE. Ohio. were asked by
phone II they used buhrstOnes in
grinding their grain. They replied in
the Affirmative. Shortly after a richly
gowned woman appeared and said she
had telephoned- With her was a baby
boy. aged about three months. She
offered the explanation Of her visit by
stating that an aged woman friend had
told her that If an infant child was
placed in a hopper beneath which a
buhrstone was running for few min
utes the child would never have the
whooping cough
The mother and babe were ushered
to a hopper almost full OF corn. be
meath which a bUhrstOne was grinding
away. and. regardless of the dust and
dirt that was rising. lifted her baby
over the side Of the hopper and sat
the little tot in upon the corn For a
few minutes the baby sat there and
coOed and croOned in glee. dipping its
fingers in the corn and letting the grain
trickle between its chubby fingers with
apparent satisfaction. Then the mother
rescued her baby from its playground,
entered her carriage and drove away.
