CHAIRMAN FRANK P. WOODS.

Frank P. Woods, the congressman
from this district, has been selected
as chairman of the republican
next two years He has been
member of the committee for
several years and is now promoted to
the position of chairman. This result
| was not a surprise, in view of the fact
| that dispatches for some time have
| shown that no other member Of con-
gress seemed to care for it while Mr..
| Woods and his friends made an active
campaign to secure it. 1t is said that
Senator Cummins was very much in
terested in Mr.. Woods selection, be-
cause of the close political relations
they sustain and the assurance that
! Woods influence as chairman would
aid Senator Cummins in his fight for
denomination next spring at the pri-
mary. Another thing which it is said
aided in Mr.. Woods selection was the
TACT that he is progressive of the
Cummins type and the conservatives
! were fearful that if a man of this type
should not be selected that the pro
gressives could not be held to sup
port the party AS long as pro
gressive heads the committee it. is
hardly to be expected that they car
find an excuse to refuse to stand by
the party at the election.
The responsibilities of the congress
ional committee are not of the great
est Importance because the committee
acts in conjunction with the nationa
committee whose responsibility is
necessarily greater. 1t will not do tt
say that there is no honor in being
: selected as chairman of the commit
tee because the office is one of dignity
and carries degree of prestige with
it and no doubt in this case it viii
practically insure the denomination OF
l Mr.. Woods for another term. Oul
} congressman has accomplished but lit

: in congress and has made little I'M
: preston on the country as states
man, but as political organizer he

tician and instinctively takes to the
, game of politics. We have no doubt
but he will win for himself some dis
tinction during his administration Of

his purpose far enough to disclose
, his intention to work for the progress
i've wing of the party rather thar
for the party as whole.
Our complaint against Congressman
Woods in the past has been that he
, has almost invariably voted with the
, democrats on all questions where
party loyalty was involved. We hope
, now that having accepted position
which calls for active party support
that he will cease to betray his party
and will stand up and consent to be
counted with the republicans.

Braised Steak.

One pound and half Of round steak
of medium thickness Spread on meat
board and pound -four into it, first on
one side and then on the other, until
you can get no more into it. Place
in hot buttered pan long enough to
scar quickly on both sides. Then pour
in little water (hot), cover closely
and stand ON back of stove to simmer
for two hours. See that water is kept
in the pan so that the meat does not
cook dry, but it must cook slowly. If
done according to directions it will al
most melt in your mouth

THE CONTINENTAL ROUTE.

We DOUBT if the business men of
Denisoa fully appreciate the value to
our city Of the hundreds of automobile
tourists travelling across the country
over what is known as the Trans-Con-
tinental route and of the Importance
of keeping in proper condition for
travel al least during the summer
months. this highway east and west
across the state.
There are several routes from Chi
cago to the west, each contesting for
the patronage of the tourists travelling
from the east to points on or west OF
the Missouri river, as well as those
travelling from the Missouri river and
west of it to Chicago. We have the
Trans-C Continental route which follows
the Northwestern railroad from Chi
cago to Council Bluffs. The River to
River route follows the Rock Island
railroad, while the Blue Grass route
follows the Burlington road from Chi
cago to Council Bluffs. 1t can be
readily seen that Council Bluffs be-
ing favored by all of the routes is not
in position to champion either one
to the exclusion of tht others except
as her people who travel may have a
personal choice of routes. There is
no use to attempt to hide the fact that
there is competition between the sever
al routes for the extensive through
travel between the east and west, and
It is the route that can make the best
showing in the way of smooth and i'm
proved highways that will gain the
bulk of the travel 1t must not be
lost sight of that the River to River
route along the Rock Island has a
powerful local organization back of
it which is boosting for this particu-
lar line.
Des Moines with all the political
prestige the city can command and
in addition the newspapers of the cap
ital are bending their energies to di-
vert travel from the other lines to
that particular route, and to have it
designated as the only proper route
for trans-continental travel. The
Blue Grass way along the Burlington
is also supported by strong local or
CARNATIONS bent on making that the
principal thoroughfare across the
state.

Caught the Lions Eye.

A middle aged man stopped in front
of one of the lion cages in the Central
park menagerie and gazed intent]y at
the head of the old animal that was
lying down near the iron bars, prefaces
the New York After keeping his
eyes on the inmate of the cage for
several minutes he made passes with
his hand toward it. The lions head
gradually went down onto his paws
and he appeared to be asleep.
Great is science!" the visitor said
1.-The books say one can hypnotic any
wild beast if near enough to hold his
eye while casting the spell, and
have succeeded"
"Hypnotize nothing! That old lion
has been blind in his near eye for
years." the keeper said.

fruit of his effort within those few
square yards is fame. The philosopher

Fabre Of Serignan-and the world-the

natural lists Of his time and one of it's
great writer's.
Men have achieved greatness by con-
quer1ng realms. by discovering CONT
nents or suns and their systems. This
man studied a few feet of soil and the
life it sustains. Within his garden
walls was his Odyssey. and the wonders
he found and recorded were as thrilling
as alluring as the vision Of the pillars
Of Hercules against the sunset.

Chickens Must Be Busy to Be
Healthy.

Many beginners in poultry raising won
der why their hens stop laying in sum-
mer and In winter: why they seem out
OF condition and are subject to disease
The principal reasons are that they are
not properly fed and that they have not
had enough exercise to keep them
healthy and strong.
To great extent young poultrymen
have clean quarters. Sometimes they
are not as clean as they should be. but
they are reasonably SO. But the food
and exercise questions are ofttimes ne

idea still persists that chickens will lay
under any old conditions. They won't

Hindoo Looms Century Ago.

From the london Chronicle.
Lancashire's cotton trade is but in its
infancy compared with the industry in
India. For what are 900 years against
5000? Thus writes Mr.. Thomas Ellison
in his Cotton Trade of Great Britain"
Fabrics as fine as any that can be
turned out at the present day by the
most perfect machinery in Lancashire
were produced by the nimble fingers of
Hindoo spinners and the primitive
looms of Hindoo weavers. a thousand
years before the invasion of Britain by
the Romans" When Britons were shiv-
ering in their woad. In fact, the Hindoos
were glorying lin garments of a tex
ture SO fine as to have earned the poetic
description Of woven wind"
