Effective Oct. 81, 1915, the G. R. I. G.

to bring about satisfactory solution
of this problem. AS the service stands
at present 1t is not satisfactory to the
railroad company nor to the local
shippers.
Perhaps one reason why the Ottum-

good freight service during the past
year is that the jobbers held various
meetings during 1915, at which time
the chief topic for discussion was
freight service. This close attention
had the tendency of keeping the serv-

but he did understand them when the
surgeons at Iowa university told him
that even the operation, desperately
decided on, might not, and probably,
would not, avert total blindness. The
boys father, informed Of the tiny
chance, decided to take 1t, however.
The operation was performed-a rare

was successful Today, improving

complete recovery and sight as good
ultimately as that Of any youth in Ne
