l.. j. Plou, Is only 20 years of age. and

Iowa. He has been an operator for six
years. What makes it the more inter-

In both cases it is clearly cause and
effect.
Iowa Falls now feels assured of a

the junction of the Des Moines Short
Line and the Spirit Lake line of the

at D. m. Z? In many towns the business
streets are virtually empty after tha1

other to have electroliers, then kick on
expense, and yet by no means want
them removed as long as NextoWn has
