We know one man in this
town, who will not try to josh
his wife any more, especially
as she has always had implicit
faith in his word. The other
day she asked him what the
initial "B" stood for in his mid
die name. He very kindly told
her his middle name was
Burns as that was the first
name he happened to think of.
Saturday a package came
through the mail for his wife
and upon opening it, he was
astonished to find a plate and a
package of engraved cards,
which his wife had ordered for
herself. His name, with the
Burns included, were engraved
on the one hundred cards, and
now he is wondering who the
joke is on. For further par
ticulars see Joseph Burns Bar

President w. G. Haskell, Secre-
tary W. c. Rollins, and D. E.

tee, of the Iowa division of the
Transcontinental route, from
Cedar Rapids to Council Bluffs.

1912:
Harrison County-The thir-
ty miles of road are as good, if
not the best dragged, ditched
and boulevard. like of any of
the counties on the Transcon-
tinental in Iowa. All of the
hills have 40-foot cuts and like
the general aspect of all the
roads, look like the drag was
used persistently after all rains.
Twelve of the forty four bridg.
es and culverts have poor APP
proaches and five of the bridges
have loose floors; the majority
of the bridges and culverts are
concrete and in splendid shape.
Weeds are cut, drainage good
and several new concrete Gull
verts and bridges are being
built. This county was also
we'll signed.
Pottawattamie County The
fifteen-mile run from the east
county line to Council Bluffs is
perhaps the most billy portion
of the route in Iowa. The
roads for the three miles inn
mediately west of the Harrison
county line are in fairly good
shape; dragging and ditching
was in evidence. The balance
of the road is up and down hill,
very narrow and very little
work done. The big hill from
Honey Creek to Crescent City
is perhaps the largest and most
dangerous in Iowa. The road
on the hill varies from ten to
fourteen feet in width, many
places being too narrow for We
hicles or autos to pass, and the
bitches IN some places are over
100 feet in depth, making it
exceedingly dangerous. Out
of the twenty-one bridges and
culverts, eight have bad APP
Iproaches and ten Of them are
in bad shape. The entire coun-
ty except few miles in the
east needs much work-road
rough, rutty ard very choppy.
The official party secured the
assurance of co operation Of
the Good Roads association
and roads committee of the
Omaha Commercial club WHO
will work with Council Bluffs
in securing better fosd, MAX
it safer, dcirg cutting and
grading everywhere necessary
on the route in this county.

POLICE LET Them GO.
Forty Children of strikers Are Taken
to Philadelphia.

Lawrence, Mass, March THE po-
lice made no attempt today to prevent
the departure from the city to Phila-
delphia of a delegation of forty chill
dren of striking textile operatives, al
though the officers held up the party
long enough to obtain the name and
addresses of every child making the
trip. The children left soon after z
o'clock accompanied by six delegates
from the strike committee of the In
dustrial Workers of the World.
The departure was the principal
event of the early morning hours al
though disturbances in which the
picl1ets of the strikers figured received
some police attention and twelve ar
rests had been made previous to s
o'clock.
Observers at the mill gates reported
that there was no noticeable increase
in the number of returning operatives.
A crowd of 200 persons in addition
to thirty policemen witnessed the de-
parture of the children. A police SER
geant demanded of the strike leaders
in charge of the party the name of
every child in the delegation. After
considerable delay the names were
forthcoming. When the train reached
South Lawrence all of the children
were sent back to Lawrence again. in
order that the addresses of the chill
dren and the name of each parent
might be obtained.
This information being furnished
the children finally were allowed to

stops obstinate coughs-even whooping
cough-in a hurry, and is splendid for
sore lungs, asthma, Group, hoarseness
and other throat troubles.
Mix one pint of graduated sugar with
u pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 213 ounces of Pinex fifty
cents, worthl in a pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. Take a teaspoonful
every one, two or three hours. Tastes
good.
This takes right hold of cough and
gives almost instant relief. It stimu-
lates the appetite, and is slightly laxa-
tive-both excellent features.
Pinex, as perhaps you know, is the
most valuable concentrated compound of
Norway white pine extract, rich in
guaiacol and the other natural healing
pine elements.

KEEP CONVICTS BUSY.
Plan Explains Delay in Completing
Prison.

St. Louis, March William S.
Eames, member of local firm of
architects has denied his firm was
responsible for any delay or extrava-
gance in the construction of the gov
eminent prison at Leavenw orth, Kan,
as charged in d complaint to Attorney
General WickerSham.
More than $1,25O,OOO has been spent
on the work which, has consum ed
thirteen years. The building has not
been completed and complaints by
congressman to the attorney general
caused him to send Joseph F. Fish
man, of the department of justice, to
Leavenworth to go over the records.
Games declared today his firm never
had charge of expenditures for the
building and that the delay was due
to the law governing the construction
of the building.
''The law for the construction of
government prisons, he said, directs
that prison labor shall be used as far
as possible. No contract is awarded.
The government buys the material af-
ter advertising for bids and the work
is done by convicts under direction
from a few skilled workmen-
1.-The delay in construction is inten-
tional. The purpose is to keep the
men in the prison employed and APP
preparations are made to supply just
enough money to keep the work go
ing from year to year"
