Would Regulate lnterurban.- Now
that the village of East Moline has
compelled the Central Union Telephone
company to accept a franchise under the
conditions laid down by the board of
trustees. the Mississippi Valley Trac-
ton company is the next to be consid-
cred. AT the meeting of the board
Monday evening the interurban situa-
ton was discussed and the ordinance
committee and Village Attorney J. B.
Oakleaf were requested to draw up an
ordinance relative to a franchise. Il
is the contention of the members Of
the board that the cars are not being
operated under proper regulation and
that better service should be given.
1t is alleged by them that the service
during working hours is altogether in
adequate and that something should be
done to relieve the congested condition
of traffic in the morning and evening
The village board has the reputation
for doing things and some Interesting
developments are expected.

Margin of Profit.

The industry is operated on a mar
gin of less than 2 cents to each dol
lar of sales. Swift & Co. do not sell
at retail. Their entire output is sold
at wholesale to many thousands Of
dealers in various parts of the world.
There are hundreds of local slaughter
ers throughout the United States, who
buy their live stock in competition
with the packer doing an interstate
and international business. Likewise
the packer must sell in competition
with the local slaughterers. There are
no secret processes III the industry, no
complicated and expensive factories,
and as live stock can be purchased in
almost every hamlet and city, and the
preparation Of meats is simple in the
extreme, local Strengthening will long
remain a factor in the production of
fresh meats and provisions.

How She Travelled Half Fare.

Willis, q Latin professor whose home IS

trip from the Pacific coast and naturally
became fatigued with nothing to do. l
noticed a little girl in the same car for
hundreds Of miles, and as she appeared
to be entirely alone I decided to divert
myself by conversation With her.
Her dresses reached to her knees, her
hair was braided down her back, her
checks were fresh and rosy, and she
talked along denaurely and easily about
all sorts OF things. l bought her candy
and talked to her just as one would talk
to Il little girl Of 70 years. I gave her
large doses Of advice about what a girl OF
u should do, ana how long she should wait
before permitting herself to become infat-
uatcd with any man. At last l asked her
how old she was.
"I am o. she said. I am going to visit
my grandmother IN Montreal, Canada,
and, as il is a long and costly trip, l de-
cidcd to go as q child and pay half fare -
