ANOTHER ELECTRIC
ROAD IS PROPOSED
Robert N. Carson Tells Iowa city
That There Is Opportunity for
a Line From
keokuk.
THROUGH MT. PLEASANT
Service Of This Sort Would be Used
and Would Tap Good
cuntry, II 10
~ Believed.
THROUGH MT. PLEASANT

They are building another inter-
urban-on paper at least-from Keo-
kuk to Iowa City, passing through M.
Pleasant and Washington. Robert Il.
Carson who is president of the Red
Bali route, which runs through Keo
kul has just returned to Iowa City
from a visit in Mt. Pleasant, and he
has been given some Of the details
of the plan. III.
The Iowa City Citizen gives the fol-
lowing story concerning this propos ed
electric road:
Agitation in the vicinity Of Mt.
Pleasant and Washington regarding
better railroad connections with Iowa
City may lead to the laying of plans
in those cities for new interurban
line, running from Keokuk. through
to Iowa City and forming direct
connection with Waterloo.
The following interview regarding
the situation was given out here to-
day by Robert N. Carson:
Il have just returned from Mt.
Pleasant, Iowa, on a business trip and
while there. l found very strong
sentiment among bankers, prominent
business men and farmers for an in
terurban line between Washington
and Mt Pleasant, the line to be
continued south to tap the big power
plant at KeoKuk.
Washington. Iowa, has always
been anxious for an interurban be-
tween their city and Iowa City.
With an electric line from Iowa
City to Keokuk. via Washington and
Mt. Pleasant, it will be seen three
of the richest counties, yes, four of
the best counties in this state would
be connected with an 1nterurban,
viz: Johnson, Washington, Henry and
Lee. 1t would also mean connection
OF county seat towns in the various
counties.
mt. Pleasant boosters feel sure
the line can be financed between Mt.
Pleasant and Washington, distance
of about thirty-two miles.
Should the line, as above. be built,
it would mean conLlnuous electric
service between keokuk and Water
loo.
1.-The line from Iowa City southwark
would cross many trunk line steam
railroads and afford an exec! lent OPP
portunity for more prompt passenger
and freight service north and south
in eastern Iowa. Cheap power could
be supplied from the big power plant
at Keokuk and sub-stations located at
various points along the line. All
towns touched by this line would
have the opportunity Of getting cleo
trio current for light and power. direct
from the big Keokuk power plant.
Such a line would be of immense
benefit to Iowa City and the south
west has been anxious for some time
to get better transportation facilities
into Iowa City, and points north"

directors Of keokuk Retailers League
Take Action At Meeting, After
Hearing ingle's
Report.
THE FALL CELEBRATION
NAV be Backed instead Of the Pure
Food show-NatIonaI Pay-Up
Week, Also Passed
Up.

The directors Of the Keokuk Retail
ers league at meeting held yester-
day afternoon in the Industrial asso-
citation offices, voted to abandon the
ture food show and also passed up
the national pay-up week proposition.
!. P. Ingle, chairman Of the pure
food show committee, was present at
the meeting and presented report
of the committees work and also
told of the conditions found in Cedar
Rapids and Davenport, the two cities
visited by Mr.. Dumenil and himself.
The directors were told that the pure
food show was not working out as
expected In some places and that it
would not be to the best advantage Of
the league to back the project at this
time.
The directors finally voted to aban-
don the show. The feeling seemed to
prevail that 1t would not be wise for
the league to put any great amount
Of work on proposition that did not
promise to be a complete success,
due to the fact that pure food shows
we're shown not to be the fine fea-
lures they were pictured. 1t was the
opinion Of the directors that the
league would be safer in placing its
energies behind fall celebration or
some feature OF that character whose
worth had been proven before.
The directors present yesterday
we're Jacob Schouten, Emile Renaud.
George Baur. J. N. Dumenil, John
Rovane, ST., G. A. Kiedaisch and also
President Justice. Secretary Fulton
and Mr.. Ingle.
1t was the intention of the directors
to appoint the various committees of
the Retailers league, but it was later
decided that the task should be left
to President Justice. The directors
decided also to appoint a new COM
mittee OF three, the street committee.
This body will receive reports Of
streets that need repairing in any way
and will take the matter up with the
city commissioners. President Justice
will appoint the members OF this body
along with the other committees. The
retailers realize that one Of the best
advertisements a city can have is
good streets and they are willing to
do their part towards keeping Them
in condition.

Cocoanut Oil Fine
For Washing Hair

If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash 1t
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very
harmful. just plain mulsified. cocoanut
OIL (Which is pure and entirely grease
less), is much better than the most ex-
pensive soap or anything else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos
sibly injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
vii make an abundance of rich, creamy
.ather, and cleansea the hair and scalp
thoroughly. The lataer rinses out easily,
ana removes every particle of dust. dirt,
91andruft and excessive oil The hair
eries quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
ane and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to
manage.
You can get mulsifed cocoanut oil az
most any drug store. 1t is very cheap,
ana few ounces is enough to last
everyone In the family for months.

telling OF the experiment and en-.
closing sample of the product.
In his letter Mr.. Kuever says:
1T is true that have developed
a process by which we are now
making our own acetyl salicylic

aration is covered with a patent

An Old Proverb.

It used to be proverbial that every
man (and it is certainly no less true
Of woman) is either fool or a ply
stefan at forty. This means that
every intelligent person must learn
80 much about caring for his own
health that by the time he is forty
years Of age he can almost be reck-
oned as a physician.
Why, then, is there so much talk
by doctors against decentralization?
A woman can recognize all ordinary
ailments without calling on doctor.
If they are aim ents distinctive to her
sex she generally knows enough to
use that greatest Of all remedies for
such ailments, Lydia E. Pinkham's

she is familiar with the standard

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-President

Chairmen spurred up their commit

to calendars Of pending bills.
The senate military committee
planned to close its preparedness
hearings shortly and draft new
army bill. The house military COM
mittee also decided to curtail hear

expected to be presented in either

work on revenue questions. Follow

to 100000. 49,
Sentiment also crystalized for Gre
