When LoeaIoptionis Good2

Local option is better than license,
pure and simple, and why?
Because it gives towns a chance to
Danish the saloon, not because it gives
them chance to establish it.
1t is also method by which the senti-
ment of community is recorded, and
serves a..good purpose In that way.
But if voters honest judgment is that
licensed saloon is not proper insti-
tuition for any community, he is Justified
in voting against this act, without ex-
aiming his mental attitude further, for
this bill has within it the possibility OF
the licensed Randolph Her
aid.

from the town clerk of East Oxford,

her birth was in December 1921. An

with the exception OF half hours
respite for breakfast, they worked con-
stantly until after nine. in the effort
to get everything in tn best shape for

expected to open traffic arrangements
between this city and the state cap-
ital by May l, has abandoned that date
and it is now thought 1t will be the
middle of June or the first of July be-
fore trains will be run regularly ove-
the entire line. The postponement OF
this date is due to delay in getting the
terminal inside the city of Des Moines
in shape for traffic. This grade is now
completed, however, and the Globe
Construction company is building the
road for the railroad company and will
iron it in a few weeks. The trains
are now running regularly between this
city and Cambridge. but there is much
ballasting to be done between the lat
ter point and Des Moines before 1t will
be in shape for steady freight or pas
senger traffic. The new management
of the Globe Construction company has
taken hold of the company's affairs and
from now on 1t is thought there will be
less delay than in the past and that
the road will be speedily completed for
traffic between Des Moines and Iowa
