moro than ten and the candy business
at indianapolis is known throughout
the central states.
Twelve years ago the indianapolis
News had circulation Of about AZ, QUO.
It's present circulation is 100000. The
out OF town circulation was about
is, 900 but that circulation has In
creased to over $4,000. The presses
start to print about $3.50 In the after
noon, which enables the publication to
catch all of the o'clock interurban
cars so that all OF the subscribers liv-
ing within q radius OF fifty miles are
reading the evening edition at the
same time that the readers OF Indian
apolis are, and they can come In to
the city next morning, buy the bar
gains advertised In the paper and re-
turn to their homes before noon.
The interurban system has caused
thousands of travelling men to make
indianapolis their homes. A travel
ing man can leave the city during the
early hours In the morning; make q
number OF visits and return the same
evening and be at home with his
family. At the same time he saves
his Arm the expenses Of q hotel bill In

No wonder indianapolis more than
doubled it's population. It is q known
and acknowledged fact that the won
derful interurban system did 1t.
Here Is the principal reason for In
.diana's growth. indianapolis gained
greatly in population, but the rural
portions OF the state touched by the
interurbans shared in this gain. They
not only held their population, but
they increased 1t. The farmer living
along the interurban had practically
the same advantages as the city man
who maintains his home In the
suburbs OF a big city and works In the
city. He is enabled by good transpor-
tation facilities to work in the city and
live in the country. Interurbans cen
tering in all the large cities OF Iowa
would bring the cities, the smaller
towns and the country surrounding In
closer touch. They would build up the
cities by expanding their trade ter
ritory, and they would go far toward
making country life more attractive.
The interurban will do more than any
other single agency to check the
movement from the farm to the city.
Experience has taught that it Is big
factor in upbuildfng and increasing the
population Of rural communities.

San Francisco has proved that she
can come back" The census returns
give San Francisco an increase of IA
100 in population since 1900. This is in
spite of the fact that during that de-
cade San Francisco was laid waste
by earthquake and. fire. 1t would not
have been to San Francisco's discredit
if loss in population had been shown.
But a gain of more than q per cent, a
good gain under the best of circum-
stances, is proof that the spirit of the
forty-niners is not dead. San Fran
cisco has not only gained in popula-
ton, but she has built UP a great city
on the ruins of the old.

Burlington may not show as large
a gain in population as few other
Iowa cities, but there is plenty of
evidence that Burlington is making
real progress in city building. Yester-
day 1t was announced that Col
George H. Higbee had decided to
erect a building to cost between $780,
900 and 100000 for the Y. w. c. A..
A campaign is now on in Burlington
to raise $125,0OO for the Y. M. G. A.,
and of this sum $4,000 has been
raised. Last year Burlington's citi-
zens raised money to build one OF the
finest hotels in the state. With this
kind of citizenship Burlington's .ure
is secure.

best part Of a column to It. This moved
the editorial writer on the MARSHALL
town Times-Republican to indulge IN
a bit of "reminiscences. He writes:
Thirty-five or forty years ago the an
nouncement that meat prices had
dropped couple Of cents wouldn't
have run under double column heads.
Bacon wasn't 40 cents q pound then.
Up north we didn't use much bacon.
Down south 1t was the easiest way to
cure q hog which was merely two mast
fed sides Of bacon with q long snout at
one end and long tail at the other.
But we used some side meat, lots OF
hams, any quantity of sausage, killed
q beef and hung quarter up In the
ont kitchen for fresh and corned the
rest.
You know we didn't depend on the
packing houses then. We butchered.
Along about this time o year, begin
ming OF corn picking time. we picked
out couple of NICE clean, healthy
hogs and a two-year.old and took half
q day OF to hang them up. We let the
animal heat" escape until the lamps
were lit and then carried them into
the "old house. or the granary. We cut
them up. We took most OF the fat pork
for lard. We made sausage that night.
Most of 1t was packed In crooks, for
this was simply a preliminary butch
erin to the big butcherin' which came
after the corn was in. We set the hams
and shoulders to smoke In the brick
smoke house the next day. And we
went at the corn picking, five men to- a
wagon and one shoveler, and during
corn picking we simply ate UP those
hogs and the 2-year-old. Yes sir, ate
'em up. Picked their bones.
Bacon? Huh, bacon doesn't stay by
your ribs like those chimes and spare
ribs and tenderloins and rib roasts and
|rump roasts did. Pancakes in the
morning made from buckwheat grown
on the three cornered patch that the
railroad cut off when it went through,
and ground at the old buhr mill on the
creek, pancakes that covered plate,
a few eggs, large juicy slices OF fresh
ham, potatoes warmed up in an indie
scribable way, apple butter and
spreads" in variety. o, we'll, nobody
thought about bacon or cared hang.
We ate breakfast before daylight and
got out to the cornfield before you
could see the ears
There ought to be more butchering
on the farm. It is becoming lost art.
It saves money. minis of money com
pared to the present way.

lNTERuRHAN a FACTOR.

{ The other day the census bureau re.
ported that the state Of Indiana nad
gained 1874, 900 In population IN the iast
ten years. Iowa in that time LOST
seven thousand odd. Both states are
old settled agricultural states ana
logically should be similarly affected
by the shift In rural population to the
newly opened lands of the west. But
one factor operated to increase In
diana's population during q period
when Iowa was experiencing a small
loss. This was the interurban. Inc
mart the interurbans centering in In
dianapolis have played in building up
Indiana is well told in an Interview ap-
pearing in one of the Des MONIES
papers recently in which an indian
apolis man tells what the interurban
did for the Indiana capital. The In
dianapolis man, among other things,
said:
Indianapolis has attracted the atten-
ton OF the civilized world by more
than doubling It's population in the
last twenty years. This growth was
practically made during the last four
teen years. or since the first inter
urban entered the city in 1896. Today
eighteen interurbans enter the city In
the finest and largest interurban sta
ton in the world, and this section OF
the city is the busy spot.
Twelve years ago indianapolis had
four theaters, today there are twelve
and building more. Fifty per cent OF
the attendance at the theaaers is made
up Of people who come in on the inter-
urbans from within radius Of fifty
miles. The last cars leaving the city
are known as theater specials.
Twelve years ago Indianapolis had
about six laundries, today there are
over twentys The largest per cent OF
the laundry business is promoted and
maintained through the interurban
system. One road has car leaving
the city every Friday night that Is
loaded alone with the laundry baskets.
Twelve years ago Indianapolis had
three creameries. Today there are
seven. During the summer season the
interurbans are over rushed handling
the ice cream business.
Twelve years ago Indianapolis had
four large baking companies, today
there are nine. Each road has car

loaves Of bread.

Answering cries of fraud in the
recent election at ST. Lous, the Times
OF that city expresses the belief that
there was little or no fraud, but a good
deal Of incompetence. Election clerks
with no shred of training for the kind
OF work intrusted to them made
blunders, the Times asserts, but they
erred on one side as much as on the
other. The Times believes skilled ac-
countants should be employed for this
work.

LAURIUM
LAURIUM D0KAYS TO SET
DATE FOR Big CEREMONY
Officers Will Meet on Monday Evening
to Perfect Plans-Laurium Lodge
Meeting With Success in First
Rank Work.

The officers OF Korayb temple, ORA
matte order of Knights OF khorassan,
will hold meeting on Monday even
ing to perfect plans for the next big
ceremonial session of the order. Ii is
expected that this event will take place
about the latter part of February or
early i'm March, but the officers may
decide that IL will be more advisable
TO wait until later I'm the spring. The
session will undoubtedly be held i'm
Hancock or Houghton and viii be large
ly for the benefit of the members of
the Pythlan lodges i'm those towns.
When the charter of the Laurium
temple was closed there were several
applicants who were unable to attend
the opening session, and all OF these
will be admitted at the next big meet
ing. Others whose interest has been
aroused viii also be taken in at this
time. 1t is expected that the class will
include no less than 25 tyros to be es-
corted across the hot and dusty plains.
The degree team of the Laurium tenn
pie is hard at work and has perfected
itself considerably since the session
which was held on the opening night.
1t is also reported that the tiger" is
getting hungry aud some effort must
be made to feed him very soon.
1t has been decided by the officers
and members that no more than 25
candidates win be admitted in any one
class. II is believed that there is
enough timber i'm the copper country
alone for several of these classes dur
ing the next few months and by linn
iting their number the ceremonial ses-
sions may occur more frequently.
Lsurium Lodge Busy.
The Laurium lodge is the only branch
of the Pythian order north Of Petoskey
which is doing work in the amplified
first degree. The Laurium team is
thoroughly organized and is working
diligently under the direction of Capt.
