each day. The passenger traffic en-
route would be increased five times N
less than three months. The Oska-

Tracy Monday morning, took 40 PEG
pie back to Oskaloosa at IL O'Clock,
then brought about 80 in the even
ing and took another bunch back. We
asked 20" man what he thought
of our plan to install this interurban
service and he replied emphatically
that it was Just the thing to do. He
Endorsed. our idea of the increased
traffic and said it would solve the in

Burlington Hawk-Eye: oskaloosa

and voted in favor of enlarging and re-
modelling a school house. The sum
to be expended was not so very great,
only $1,000, but the vote is what
makes it Interesting. Oskaloosans
seem to be able to get together upon
any project that is for the real bene-
fit of Oskaloosa. OF the total vote of
S65, but As were opposed to the ex.

other Iowa towns where new school
houses We're urgently needed and
where the propositions were voted

cases are rare in Iowa, and the Oska.
loosa way is really the Iowa way.

1t has not been positively proven to

Calcium, the metal of limestone and

processes that result in the formation
of woody tissue. 1t also enters into
combination with organic acids that
would otherwise be injurious to the
plant, thus forming substances of ar
excretory nature that are deposited
in the cells. Calcium and magnesium
form compounds with the nitrogenous
constituents of plants which seem to
be concerned in the movement of these
substances from one part of the plant
to another.
Phosphorus, to be used by plants,
must be in the form of a phosphate
Calcium phosphates are most abund~
ant in soils. The phosphates form
compounds with the nitrogenous con-
stituents or proteids of the plant and
facilitate their movement. Phosphor-
Gus is also an essential constituent Of
some of the most important parts of
plants, including the protoplasm of the
cells, which is the living, active part
by which the chemical processes Of
plant-growth are brought about.

sPEcIAL DIsPATcH ro rHE III

STOCKTON, Sept. 3.-Bryan's cam

or at least the funds will be handled.
by a so called advisory committee
which National Committeeman Nathan
Cole Jr. has agreed TO appoint That
committee probably will be composed
Of James y. Phelan of San Francisco,
T. E Bush OF Hanford and o. f. Far
IRISH Of Los Angeles. Theodore Bell
will not be a member of the board

mittee developed into anything but
a fierce battle. In fact, instead Of
the desperate attack promised by Joe

little compromise which looked like
nothing but a laydown on both sides

Tracyite-Tell that to the fishes in

ANOTHER KIND OF HARMONY
Now for the other brand of harmony.
All was lovely in the convention. Phe-
Ian, McNab's friend, nominated Cart
wright, Bells friend for chairman.
Frank Gould, Bells deadly enemy, sec
onded the nomination in behalf of San
francisco. The tomahawks were buried.
Oh, yes, but not too deep, and this is
how they We're dug up In the interest of
harmony.
Bell man (soliloquizing) do
you think of that fellow Gould having
the front to- second Cartwright's NOM
nation and saying he represented San
Francisco? Gould doesn't represent
anything, He had no San Francisco
proxy. because there are none He
ought to have been sat on hard.
And so it goes.
The Los AngeIenos fought all the
morning, but when the credentials com
mittee met to give the dead decent
burial there We're no dead. The battle
was over. A truce had been sworn, but
there is quite chance of fight on the
floor tomorrow
Also in the interest of democratic
harmony, the Bell men are telling how

before voting for elector in the fifth
district. There was contest between
Harry Flannery and Frank J. Sullivan
and the Bellites are telling gleefully
how one delegate was afraid to cast
his ballot till the word came from
Gavin, Vote for Flannery.''
CANDIDATES ARE SCARCE
This democratic harmony has the ex
citing interest of vaudeville. but it does
not win elections and 1t does not send
pourpons careering after democratic
nominations
Candidates for congress are as scarce
as the dodo or the dinosaurs. In
the sixth, for instance, nobody wants
to go against Needham. E. E. Bush
OF Hanford was appealed to. but said
nothing doing" Judge NJ. L. Short
OF Fresno was given the chance, but
declined TO be martyr. So the dele
gates voted themselves a few hours of
grace and will be busy all night trying
to find candidate over the long dis
tance phone.
Democratic harmony made the meet
ing of the platform committee one
long, sweets scrap. And as for the
meeting of the democratic editors who
mustered some dozen strong, it was
not harmony but somnolence that
breathed its benison over their innoc-
nous councils.
But never mind. the democrats con-
sole hemselves-John Worth Kern is

committeeman, but none Of its powers.
Cole says he has given up none of his
powers, that he recognizes no coercion
and that he intended all the time TO
appoint an advisory committee.
According TO the loud proclamations
of the Los Angeles scalp hunters, they
with a demand that Cole be. told TO
resign from the national committee
instanter.
Cole arrived last night. He said that
he was deeply pained by the attitude
of his three or four enemies. Also
that he would not resign or turn over
his functions to a special committee
Both sides We're more specific this
morning. Senator George W. Cart
wright worked all night with the Los
Angeles warriors and Bellites gen
orally, while admitting freely enough
that they did not trust Cole, also per-
mitted IL to be known that they would
not allow themselves to be Jabbed into
making a ridiculous demand which
they were in no position to enforce.
COLE DENIES SURRENDER
Cole let ii be known during the aft
ernoon that he had fully intended 10
appoint an advisory" committee and
tnat he had so announced at the ma
tional convention in Denver.
The Los Angeles warriors. who hao
accused Cole of everything from party
treaehery TO embezzlement and proved
none of their charges. announced
promptly that they had forced Cole to
give UP everything but his title; that
his surrender included the right to veto
the acts of the special committeeman.
They also gave il out that Bell would
be a member of the committee.
When it was suggested that Cole was
eleveFly sidestepping the responsibility
vi Which isi his opeonents ;9 saw he pledged dyed
himself to do in return for the honor
of being selected as national commit
teeman over Bells objection, Simons
and his friends insisted that was the
one job that had not been taken away
Cole Indignantly denied that he had
surrendered the veto power or that he
had ever agreed to raise $4,000. In
any event, if he did agree to raise $780,
600 he now says he viii do the best he
can and that he will be pleased to con-
