G. W. Branch, manufacturers Of
Marengo, has the right idea. He has
offered to contribute $500 per annum
If the business men will contribute a
like amount for ten years, the money
to be used for the improvement of the
roads leading into Marengo. There
has been talk and talk and talk with
out end, as regards the improvement
of the roads. And that has been as
far as we have gone, in most Iowa
towns and counties. The town where
people go down into lneir pockets and
pledge certain amount every year, is
going to have pretty good roads by
the time that we write 1920, and the
towns and counties that are simply
going to discuss roads and road build
ing, will be no farther out of the mud
in ten years than they are today.

A man relates the awful case of a
woman on party line who was in
the habit of talking or listening to
other people talking over the line
all day long. One day a man on the
same line picked up the receiver and
heard this woman and another one
working conversational relay. He
was annoyed over having to wait and
set about making the women mad at
each other SO that they wouldn't talk
any more. He placed the receiver of
his phone up against the transmitter
with the result that when either
woman was talking her words came
right back to her own ears. The
woman that happened to be having
the flow of words to her face at that
moment thought her neighbor was
hooking her, and after telling her
neighbor what she thought of the
bringing up of some people that
would stoop to such oiscourtesy, she
hung up. Then the man put in his
call and was not molested. Ex-
change.

Rock Island May Come to GAINESVILLE.

| While in Kansas City the first OF
the week, A. Biddison, president OF
our Commercial Club, and one of our
most enterprising citizens, made it a
point to call upon Mr.. H. G. Wilson,
transportation commissioner of the
Kansas City Commercial Club.
1t will be remembered that there
has been some correspondence be-
tween Mr.. Wilson and our Club
touching the question of securing an
outlet for us, and while in the city
Mr.. Biddison called at Mr.. Wilson's
office and went over the matter as
thoroughly as possible.
Mr.. Wilson's department is alive
to the Importance of adding this part
of the country to Kansas Citys trade
territory and had already begun
planning to bring it about. His
idea is to secure an entirely new
line which means for the Rock
Island to build from Trenton to this
point, and he has already taken the
matter up with the general manager
of the Rock Island at Chicago. Mr..
Wilson has invited the general man
ager to meet him here as soon as
practicable, and go over the situation
locally and drive over the proposed
route from here to Trenton
GAINESVILLE should wake up and
grasp the opportunities when pre-
sented and if Trenton gets in the
game with as much earnestness as
Kansas City is displaying it will not
be long until this part of the country
will have an outlet by rail to the
south.
A pull altogether will work won
ders in the near future

A. c. Stephens was finally appoint
ed as census enumerator of the city
of Leon, f. C. Mullinnix and Ed
SWope both having declined the ap-
pointment, as the compensation had
been cut from four to two cents for
each person enumerated. Enumerator
Stephens commenced his work last
Friday morning at s o'clock Every
citizen of Leon should make it his
or her duty to report to the enumer-
ator any resident of Leon who is
temporarily away from Leon, so that
all citizens of Leon will be counted in
the enumeration. The census this
year should show a substantial in
crease in population, as there have
been many new residents built in
Leon since the last census five years
ago, and all of them are occupied.

Booster Day at Charlton.

Charlton recently celebrated the
installation of their new cluster
street lights by booster day cele-
bration, which was in charge of the
ladies of that city. The booster
spirit is abroad in the land and it is
being manifested in all the good
towns of this part of the state. The
Charlton Leader in speaking of their
booster day says:
Boster day, on Saturday, proved a
great occasion. The day was ideal
and the program was carried out
without flaw. Mrs. Carroll arrived
from Des Moines on the early train
and was escorted to the public square
by one of the grandest parades ever
witnessed in Chariton-the school
children from the various grades.
Flags and music made a glory all
about. Mrs. Carroll spoke in the
temple theatre to a vast audience,
preceding this by short address
from the band stand to the young
people of the city. She is a fine pub
lis speaker and met popular applause.
The ladies of the improvement asso-
citation were alert and spared no eff
fort to terminate the day in victory
The five thousand could not be fed
at the Presbyterian church, as the
loaves and fishes were inadequate to
the demand. The play and enter
tainment and play at the Temple
were pleasing and several big audi
ences visited that popular theatre Of
entertainment. The new cluster lamps
just installed around the square, lent
a grander charm and brighter glow
than pyrotechnic illumination. The
ladies cleared about $500 which in
sures a new street-sweeper for the
pavements. God bless the women.
They are the salt of the earth and
the ginger of Charlton, and are put
ting spice into our municipal life;
they do things; they are boosters
and SO are the men Of Charlton.

The Burlington railroad company
last week closed the purchase of the
two lots at the foot of Main street,
for the new depot site. The property
next to the tracks was purchased of
Jap Cesler at $500, and he reserved
the house which he will move to an
other lot The other property just
north of it was bought of Loten Gas
sett at $500, the company securing
the house and barn, and agent
Ketcham has forwarded the bids he
received for the house and barn to
the company at Chicago. Contractors
have been supplied with the plans
and specifications for the new depot
and asked to submit bids at once, the
company having decided to have the
depot built under contract. 1t is
thought that work on the new depot
will commence within the next thirty
days.

c. e. Vrooman, of Centerville,
spent last Wednesday and Thursday
in Leon, securing signers for his nom
ination papers for the republican
nomination for congress. Mr.. Vroo-
man, years ago was the editor of the
Centerville Iowegian, but for many
years has held position in the office
of the solicitor of the treasury at
Washington. He is a free lance,
claiming to advocate progressive
ideas but is supporting President Taft
and the administration. He proposes
to make an active canvass for the
nomination, and this will make a
three cornered fight between the re-
publican candidates, the other candi-
dates being Judge H. M. Towner, a
standpatter, of Corning, and John H.
Darrah, a progressive, of Charlton.

received a bounty of 50 per head.
He found the litter on the farm of
