Yo.m Telling Mel

Kodak Dumbkopf hopes the plan CT
consolidating all the nations railroads
into one big system goes through. Tt
will eliminate from his view one of
the family's biggest headaches-the
old I. o. & U.
Zadok's great-grandfather, Simple
Dumpkopf, was one of the founders
of the I. o. & U. While he had little
to do with the construction of the line,
when it was all over it was old Simple
who held the bag. The I. O. & U. had
more water in it's stock than it had in
it's steam engines.
The I. o. & U. was called the mill
lion-dollar line, for it had 100 miles
of track and a $10O,000O00 debt to
show for it.
Riding I. Q, & u was an ordeal that
made trekking across the jungles of
Africa seem a picnic jaunt. The road
bed wa a surrealist dream of a roll
er-coaster combined. with allsthe worst
features of a underground. Even
the hoboes preferred to walk than
ride what the I. O. & U. call it's rods.
The I. o. & U. was originally built
to help the farmers cart their goose
berries to market, but the hardy sons
of the soil fooled the railroad folk by
raising turkeys, pigs, and other crops
which can walk themselves to the
market.

A budget of $4,000 for 1889 was

munity Chest by the board of direc-
tors of that body at meeting Mon
day evening. At the same time new
directors and officers for the com

than 95 percent at last reports.
