And Lars Knows.

l.. e. Bladine In Cedar Falls Rec
ord: The accidental death OF Race
Driver Billy Pierce on the Wood
lawn track at Sioux City calls to
mind how helpless is one in a big
touring car or racing machine when
once it gets beyond control. There
is certain line Of safety In driving
a motor car, and when that line Is
overstepped the driver Is playing
with death. Racing on a circular
track never should be permitted.
There is only question of time
about such a proposition. Some one
is bound to be killed. When high
power car begins to skid the driver
is up against game of chance.

A Fine Bouquet.

Williams Wasp: Those who at
tended the Miss Alice Nielsen grand
concert at the armory opera house
at Webster City Tuesday evening
listened to an unsurpassed and most
lovely rendition OF varied vocal mu-
sic, the like Of which has never been
heard on any stage In this state. To
the Judgment OF the writer. Miss
Nielsen with her beautiful soprano
voice, delivered real music. even
better than Madam Schuman-Heink,
who appeared at Webster City last
year.
Webster City is certainly lucky
TO have a man with backbone and
nerve enough to attempt to secure
such exquisite attractions as w. Fl.
Cook has for this season. Cecil Fam
ming, the popular baritone OF last
year. will again appear on Nov. 10th
under Mr.. Cooks management at
WebsterCity. A special train IL sure
to run from Williams II the people

THIS CITY NO LONGER
TO HAVE MONOPOL Y
Fort Dodge to Have High Glass Mus
zeal Course Thomas orohes-
ira on List.


City is no longer to have a monopoly
on musical entertainments OF high
order, as a big musical course is now
assured to Fort Dodge. Today the
Early music house announces that It
will undertake the presentation be-
fore Fort Dodge audiences Of first
class musical attractions. Fort
Dodge has long lacked any such ser
les of concerts and recently the abs
sence Of such privilege has been q
matter Of general comment. The
concerts that will be given here this
winter therefore, should be well
patronized.
The purpose OF the Early Music
House In backing such a movement
is desire to enlarge and to assist
In raising the standard Of musical
appreciation. Feeling that someone
must start such q movement II It Is
ever to be made, the firm has taken
the initiative, realizing that there
very probably will not be any finan-
cial gain from the undertaking. but
with the idea in view Of continuing
the series every winter until some
musical club can be founded which
will undertake the yearly concerts
B. NJ. JOY, who is now associated
with the Early Music house, will he
the active manager Of the concert
campaign and he assured the Mes
senger reporter this morning that
he is already practically sure Of
getting the Thomas orchestra for a
concert. II this develops as antici-
pated the city will have the rare
privilege of hearing this fine aggre-
CATION OF sixty musicians sometime
in January.
The Thomas orchestra carries
with 1t, beside its numerous music
ians, four singers who appear In
concert with them.
Among other artists it may be
possible to secure and with whom
the firm is already In correspond
ence, are Harold Bauer, pianist;
George Hamlin, Frances Aida. So
prano; David Bispham, in song re-
cital; Maud Powell, violin: Lucille
Tewskbury. soprano; and the Noun
tain Ash singing party.
There is no intention on the part
of the Early Music House to give
the series for merely the one year.
It is the aim and object to stick at
the undertaking each year, II no
musical club organizes to take up
the plan. and to continue backing
these musical privileges for the city
until enough interest il created to
cause the formation Of musical
club.
There seems to be no reason that
will prevent Fort Dodge music low
ers from being able to enjoy some
OF the great artists OF the country.
The only possible prevention would
be lack Of interest on the part Of the
public and 1t does not seem that
there would be even the remotest
chance of such possibility.
A large course may not be possible
for the first year in Fort Dodge. but
even selection Of two or three
OF the above artists. or ones equal
~ as good, ought certainly to assure
the success OF the enterprise to the
local people.

THE CENTRAL TO
HAVE NEW STEEL CARS.
Places Order for lis all Steel
Coaches TO Cost Million
and Half Dollars.

The Illinois Central railway
shows it's confidence in future pros
perity in an order that has been is
sued by President Charles H. Mark
ham.
The order provides for equipping
every passenger train on the main
line Of the system, both through and
local, with all steel coaches. This
establishes the Illinois Central as
the first railroad In the country
voluntarily to equip all the passen-
ger trains OF its main line with
coaches OF that type, which are re-
garded as materially lessening the
danger In wrecks.
The contract calls for lis all
steel coaches, at a total cost of
about $1,5O0,OOO. The cars will In
clude passenger coaches, diners, par
lor, observation and baggage cars.
The company now has 100 cars Of
this type, and the new order will
give 1t 235 cars.
The new cars will be unusually
large, seventy feet long, ten feet
longer than the all steel cars now
in service. They will have six wheel
trucks. the same as the heaviest.
sleepers; will be electrically lighted
throughout, and have every modern
convenience. A feature will be a
change in the windows. Cars built
formerly have windows intended toI
serve two seats, but occupants of
certain seats found their view OBJ
structed by the frames.
The order for the new coaches
provides that majority of them be
delivered by the first Of next year.
Passenger trains on the Illinois Cen
trails Chicago-St. Louis service are
of all steel cars. and the new equip
ment will provide for similar trains
between Chicago and New Orleans,
Chicago and Jacksonville, Fla. and
Chicago. Omaha, Sioux City, st. Paul
and Minneapolis.
The order is only a part OF the Inn
provements inaugurated by Presi-
dent Markham since he assumed
control OF the railroad. Work was
started some time ago on additioal
tracks to give the road four track
system as far south as Cairo, the
first extension being to Matteson,
twenty-eight miles south OF Chicago.

up rules in which every soul pledged
himself to regard Spokane for conser'

bridge, Alberta, Canada, is making q
determined effort to get the 1912 ses.
sion OF the intern ational dry farming
congress. Fully 200 boosters from tn at
district arrived, and al once launched
q vigorous compaign. The Can ad ans
have the largest exhibition at the con-
gress.
More than 500 deleg ates from vari-
Gus states of the union and other ma.
tions are ia attendance, and it is said
this number will be greatly increased. :.
A glimpse at the registr alton books
shows that representatives of most of
the races of the earth will participate
in the discussions.
Prof. n. L. Bolley of the North Da-
kota agricultural college spoke OF
"Flax AS Dry Land Crop" He
said that the variety which is raised
for the production of seed for linseed
oil purposes is especially adapted to
the dry land west, that there are few
crops which can Withstand the amour,
of drouth tn at the fax seed can, and
that it can he produced in paying
quantities farther west and higher or

any other of :the small grains. HI
said that the fax does not use as much
moisture and does not make as heavy
draft on coil fertility as does either
wheat, oats or barley, and that The
general idea to the contrary is baset
on error due to the fact that the crol
is frequently attacked by root dis
eases which will make it impossible te

CREATING HOME MARKETS.

Over a million acres of highly pro-
ductive territory-an area one-halt
larger than the arabic area of Rhode
Island-is being added to the posses
sions of the American nation. The
increase, which is equivalent to the
annex alton of so much new territory,
is being made in the arid regions of
the west through the peaceful con-
quests OF irrig alton. The work which
is thus enlarging the national domain
and its value to the rest of the country
in creating new home markets for
American manufacturers is thus de-
scribed in American Industries by
Director F. II. Newell of the United
States reel am alton service, the man
at the head of this great piece of con-
structive work:
"The country as whole gains from

States where the settlers are located

share in the benefits. The farmer upon

The Stubborn Automobile.

Under the spreading chestnut tree q
stubborn auto stands;
And Smith, an angry man is he, with
trouble on his hands.
He cusses softly to himself and crawls
bene ath the car,
And wonders why it didn't bust before
he got SO far.
The carbureter seems to be the cause
OF all his woe;
He tightens half q dozen bolts, but
still it doesn't go,
And then be tries the steering gear,
but finds 20 trout BILE there
Till, wet with perspiration, then, he
quits in sheer despair.
He squats beside the road to give bis

And ponders on his training at the
