INTERURBANS THAT PAY.
IDaYenport Democrat

Figures are printed to show that In
terurban lines pay. Some of them GER
tainly do pay both those who patron
ize them and the owners. The Cedar
Rapids and Marion line shows hand
some profits. The Des Moines and
Colfax line has been a money maker
almost from the starr. The Mason
City and Clear Lake and the Waterloo
and Cedar Falls trolleys have return
ed good dividends on the investments.
These lines however, are hardly fair
tests since they are not long. Marion,
only a fraction of the size Of Cedar
Rapids, has the Linn county court
house. Colfax, il not suburb Of Des
Moines, is literally patronized by Des
Moines people, Waterloo and Cedar
Falls are considerable towns.
The Davenport and Clinton trolley
will be real interurban for distance
as well as the size of the cities con-
nected. And the extent to which it
will develop local travel will undoubt-
eddy he surprising. The Davenport
and Muscatine line will be another
long one. 1t is not to be expected that
all interurbans will go into the mint
business the day they begin to operate,
but they all have great futures before.

circulate and they will take advantage

AN INVESTMENT. NOT A BURDEN.

1t is impossible to estimate the cash
value Of an idea or reform agitation.
All real education and every useful
idea is cumulative They grow with
their own strength. When, in his adj
dress to the assembled farmers at
Ames, last week, Governor Cummins
estimated that Holden's agitation Of
the seed corn question had brought
about results more than sufficient to
pay years cost of running the state
agricultural school, the statement was
met by certain agriculturalists with
negative shakes of their gray heads.
The proposition seemed too strong to
them. Still, the governor was I'M
doubleday right. He realized better
than they the publicity given Holden's
ideas and warnings by the press and
the general interest such publicity is
certain to arouse. 1t helped make
farmers careful in selection Of seed
and in planting. If this care added
100 bearing stalks to the acre, only
thirty three hills of corn, it will put
an extra wagon load or two into the
average farmers corn crib this fall.
If the men who shook their heads at
the governor will imagine every corn
farmer In Iowa seated on wogan load
of corn headed for Ames with his con-
tribution, there will be a quick change
from negative to assent
An exceptionally successful Mar
shall county farmer on his way back
from the Ames festival, stopped to talk
driven over and stayed several days
with his son, who is a student at the
college. He was full of useful ideas
and knowledge picked UP in the barns
and fields of the school. He had seen
various crops of alfalfa, cow peas
corn. 1nillet, ETC., growing under the
!best conditions possible in Iowa and
came away with a lesson to be applied
!. next year. His trip will be worth $10O
to him next year and every future year
that he continues farming. He saw
things that set him thipking and
thought and system are the ground
work Of success.
Cummins was right. Holden, ct al,
and the agricultural college pay for
themselves and leave a satisfactory
