powder magnate. This was finally
assured today and nothing remains
but to complete the plans for the
great road, which will traverse the
entire length of the state, 103 miles.
Mr. du Pont will advance $1,000
000 for the project, and has agreed
to be reimbursed under an arrange
ment whereby the counties will turn
over to him the difference in tax
alton between the existing assess
ment and the assessment that the
improvement will create He be-
lieves that the increase in property
value will be SO great as to repay
him in a few years.
Mr.. du Pont desires a highway 101
feet in width, but other good roads
experts are in favor of sixty or
eighty foot road. The outcome of
the project will probably be await
ed with interest all over the coun-
try, as if it is successful it is likely
that wealthy men in other states will
follow the example set by the pow
der king. The building of the road
will give employment to hundreds
of men and will solve the unem-
ployed labor question in Delaware.

All it will cost you is the mailing and
you will be able to secure scores
of subscriptions in this manner
The way for the inactive candidates
to show they are in earnest is to cast
a good sized vote and get near the
top. Then your friends will see you
are in the win and help you toward
the goal to which you are striving. No
one wants to help a laggard. And don't
wait until someone has secured the
promises Of your neighbors before you
start out. You will be handicapped
from the very start. Although we
have known where good hustler has
gone in the last two weeks and won
the big prize we would advise you not
to wait that long. The kind of candi-
dates we have in this contest are not
the kind to go to sleep on a propo-
sition like this.

A LIFT TO BEET SUGAR
Railroad Commissioners Aid Grow
ers With New Rate.

The sugar beet industry in Iowa
was given a material lift by the state
railroad commission last week when
it made a rule allowing some of the
by-product to take the same rate as
corn and other animal foods.
When beet sugar is being manu-
featured there is created a by-prOduct
which makes an excellent food for
cattle. Heretofore the beet sugar
manufacturers could not dispose OF
this by-product at a profit because of
the rate that was charged by the rail
roads for its transportation.
BY reducing the rate to the corn
and general feed rate the commission
has made it possible for this new beet
feed to complete with the older kinds
of animal food. In this way the pro.
motors of the beet sugar industry
in Iowa will be enabled to see more
profits in the plants and it is believed
that with this chance OF adding to
the profits Of the industry there will
be a general stimulating of the best
sugar industry in Iowa.

rounding the fatalities are the most
peculiar and in some respects the
most mysterious eyer brought TO the
attention of the local police. Six
men were in the car at the time and
| the mOur survivors are being closely
questioned by the police. They Offer
different explanations of the strange
deaths of their companions. The in
juTies are similar. Each skull was
badly broken and the location of the
break the same in each case. Tho
mems skulls are crushed in from the
top OF the left check bone nearly Il
the middle of the top of the head.
