how TO KEEP, YOUR CAR
LOOKING new
:'reserve the Fine Finish With This
Secret Shop Formula.

A bright, well-kept car always COM
nlands the utmost admiration. When
it comes to sale, the well-kept car
commands by far the best price-other
things being equal.
Strong soaps, harsh cleaners and
polishcs cut the very life out of a cars
fine vanished surface. They may
clean up" for the time being-but
soon the fine finish is gone-and once
that happens, all the rubbing in the
world won't restore it.
Naturally a demand has come for
a polish that would clean and brighten
and yet be absolutely safe to use.
The answer to that demand is Tobey
,Polish-the same secret shop for
nnuia used by The Tobey Furniture
Company (New York and Chicago).
Tobey Polish cleans as we'll as beau
tihcs the costly finish. Takes off all
dirt. grease, "fog," stains. and small
scratches. Easy to use-no hard rub
bing-you can make your car look like
new in few minutes with it. Leaves
the surface dry-no cumming or
sticking-does not veneer:-nothing to
catch dust.
Tobey Polish also nourishes and
renews the vanished fnish-keeps it
elastic-fres from cracking, checking

Webster City, Nov. 24.-There have
been well defined rumors for some time
that the Illinois Central contemplates
double tracking its main line thru
Iowa. 1t Is said that the work is to
start at Fort Dodge, where the Omaha
and Sioux City branches converge ana
run east to Dubuque. Right-of
activities between this city and Fodl
Dodge indicate that preliminary work
has already started.
For weeks grading trains have been

way. building it up to width suffi-
cient to take double tracks. This pro-
cess Of widening the right-of-way has
now proceeded from Fort Dodge east to
Duncombe, distance Of ten miles. and
from Webster City west to Highview
distance of four miles.
Traffic conosstsd For Years.
The Illinois Central line from Fort
Dodge to Dubuque has been badly
congested with traffic for years. Bust
ness on the Oma ha line has grown rap
idly and traffic on the Sioux City and
Sioux Falls branches has always been
heavy. Business off all three of these
lines converges in Fort Dodge and
must go east over a single track line.
Monster engines have been put into
service which haul freight trains
eighty five cars in length ond yet at al
most every station freight trains are
eIoid ont daily ~ uermit trains going
the opposite direction to pass.
There is excellent authority for the
statement that the Illinois Central is
now starting work preliminary to ulti-
mately double tracking its line from
Fort Dodge to Dubuque ond thence, OF
course to Chicago. The east-bound
traffic. however, is good deakheaVier
than the west bound and it is for this
reason that preliminary work has been
begun at the west end. y

DECISION FOR SCHOOL
Perpstuity Of Consolidated District Of
6laifsbpra 10 Upheld BY Supreme
court-peoision Means Much to Con-
solidated Schools Of Iowa.

Special to Times Republican.
Webster City, Nov. 24.-The supreme
court Of Iowa has just handed down a
decision which means much to the con-
solidated schools Of the state and es-
pecially to the consolidated district Of
harrisburg, just east of this city, whose
|perpetuity has just been upheld by the
highest court in the state.
The ruling Of the high court was
handed down in the case Of p. o Smith,
ct al, VS.. the harrisburg independent
school district, The point involved is
that consolidated districts may take in
as much territory az they wish, pro-
vided the matter is put up to the peo-
pie in an election and carries.
In this case, Smith and others and
the school township Of Williams,
sought to have certain territory in
cluded in the Blairsburg consolidated
district restored to it's former status.
1t was alleged that not one-third OF
the patrons in the proposed district had
signed the petition and it was further
charged that the territory proposed to
he taken into the Blairsburg district
had not been properly described. A
technical error was corrected by the
district. however. and the election car
ried by a majority Of both town and
country people. The district began
work in September, 1914. The Smith
suit was filed in october of the same
year.
The case ran peculiar course.
Judge Albrook first ruled in favor of
the plaintiffs and ordered the district
dissolved. He later reconsidered and
continued the case. The defendants
won in the next trial and they have
now been sustained in the. supreme
court
Many proposed consolidated districts
over Iowa have been awaiting with in
terest the outcome Of this case, which
establishes a precedent in this state:
