tends to Pu. the Project Thru Next
Season President Polk Discusses
the Notwithstanding About the
Line to lndianoIa.

Fort Dodge. July 28.-The Messenger
IS authority for the statement that a
survey is soon to be commenced by the
Interurban Electric Railway company
OF Des Moines for an electric line from
Des Moines to Boone which they con-
template constructing next season ii
the crops are good this fail. The new
project of the Des Moines company
gives greater feasibility and produces
a greater incentive toward the building
of the proposed electric line from Des
in the Messenger a few days ago.
If these two plans were carried out
ii would give Fort Dodge through con-
nections with the Capital City over an
electric line. These lines if built, will
undoubtedly follow the course OF the
Des Moines river all the way and will
tap many valuable coal fields that could
scarcely be reached in any other way.
A Des Moines paper has the follow
ing with regard to the matter:
The Interurban company will COM
mence soon on the survey of a pro-
posed line north from Des MoineS to
Boone. The probabilities are that be-
cause of the cheaper right of way and
the fact that the electric can carry over
heavy grades, the road will run thru
out its entire distance up the valley
OF the Des Moines river.
The survey will be made with the in
teution of building it in another season
il conditions continue favorable to in
terurban projects.
President Polk said: IF we have a
good crop in Iowa this season, and con-
gress is not influenced by the Novem-
her elections to pass legislation that
will be disturbing to financiers there
will be no difficulty in securing the
money to carry on our projects and
next season will see the construction
of great depth of interurban road
by our company. Enough will be built
line and the line west now building
we will have one of the largest inter
urban systems in the country The
probable lines for another season are
the extension of the Colfax line to
Newton, the building of the line from
Fort Des Moines through Norwalk to
Indiunola and Winterset, and the con-
struction either of a line north to
Boone or one north from Junction
with out west line to Perry and JEFF

No Treaty With Colombia.
Would You Live to be 100?

To live 100 years a French physi-
clan has laid down the following rules
for human beings to observe:
/. Breathe fresh air day and night.
9 Take outdoor exercise each day
either by working or walking.
3. Eat and drink moderately ana
simply. Choose fater, milk and fruit
ra ther than alcohol.
L. Fortify yourself by washing daily
in cold water and by taking a hot bath
once week.
j. Do not wear clothes which are
elhe. too heavy or too light.
6. Live in a house that is spacious
ard dry.
I. Work regularly.
8. After work do not seek repose in
exciting distractions. The hours of
leisure belong to the family; the night
is for sleep.
8. Ennoble your life by good ac-
tons

"AESOP."
[Green River (Ky) Republican,

Esop. Esopus, Esum!
Aesop9 Let's see, away back in the
long ago we read of a wonderful old
man who was called Aesop. and he
wrote some wonderfully strange and
interesting things about goats and
wolves and geese and asses talking like
men. In our childish and limited
knowledge of men and things we never
quite understood where this wonderful
Old writer about geese and goats and
asses lived, and thru all these long
years we have lived in utter ignorance
of his abode. But it is all clear now.
Since the great and riotous democratic
national convention we learn that he
lives in the state of New York, and is
still in the fable business. The great
number of fables that are being sent
out from there convinces us that we
are right. This should be thrilling
news to the American people to know
that old Aesop is still alive: that he
lives in our own land and is still writ
ing fables about geese and goats and
asses.
1t is still further refreshing to learn
from these fables that he is thinking of
running for president and has for his
mate one individual older than
himself.

Frame Riots In England.
Early in 1911 bands of distressed
stocking knitters in Nottinghamshire
began a long series of riots, marked by
most wanton mischief Assembling in
parties of from six to sixty under u
leader styled general or Ned Judd. dis
guised and armed with swords, pistols,
hammers and axes and bound together
by illegal Oaths, they succeeded In
smashing stocking frames i'll all parts
of England, and their daring outrages
continued even when large military
force was brought into the neighbor-
hood and two London police magis-
trates came down to assist the civil
power.
10 such a pitch had this dangerous
disturbance grown that royal procla-
nation was issued Offering reward Of
ESQ for the apprehension of any of the
offenders Not until October, 1916, did
this wholesale destruction and vio-
lence cease, by which time more than
a thousand frames and many lace ma
chimes had been broken up and the
mischief had spread into neighboring
counties. London Chronicle.

Then the patient asked the physician
