Low excursion rates for tn
Iowa people who travel to Des
Moines for the State Fair have
just been announced by the
railroads. Agents have been
notified alrerdy that the rate
of a fare and a half for the
round trip will be made from
all Iowa stations. This is at
the rate of a cent and a half a
mile of travel. The tickets are
to be put on sale August 26,
which is one day before the
Fair opens, and will remain on
sale until September 8, the last
day Of the Fair, all good for re-
turn as late as September 9Th
Considerable difficulty was ex-
perienced a year ago in induc-
ing the railroads to favor the
Iowa people with low round trip
rates, but the success of the re-
duction last year made it un-
necessary this year for anybody
to urge it on the railroads.

Farmers Agree on Route For
Ditch

The farmers interested in the
Boyer ditch north of Logan
held a meeting Tuesday and
decided on a route for the ditch
which will be satisfactory to all
concerned and it is believed
will relieve this beautiful VAL
ley of its greatest drawback
flood water. 1t is proposed we
understand to run the ditch
along the east side of the Illi-
nois Central from the overhead
to the Boyer bridge in the old
Logan farm, then the ditch
will make a sweeping curve
and cut off several bends in
the channel and enter the Boy
er channel at the peninsula,
just east of the cemetery. En-
gineer Dean is to file his report
today. y.-Observor.

mind frames in thinking of the events
Of the ever glorious Fourth is that of
Uncle Sam doing characteristic stunts
by way of expressing his feelings of
satisfaction on his natal day. Nobody
needs to be told that Uncle Sam is

But how did it happen the nation came
to be typifed in this character? One
authority gives this definition Of the
phrase Uncle SAM 1.-THE govern

every citizen homestead rights.
1t was quite natural that the initials
"U. S." standing for United States

it was necessary for the custom to be

him Uncle Sam. After the inspection
Of the beef it was shipped by him to
