New Engines to Cost Six Million for Illinois Central
Sioux City Iowa July 2 Increased rapidity of freight car handling amid an equipment shortage is evident from railroads figures. Illinois Central May 1920 shows average miles per car per day nearly doubling. Illinois Central ordered 50 Mikado locomotives and 25 Pacific passenger engines at an estimated cost of 6 million dollars, delivery this fall. Net freight by May 1920 rose 30 percent from May 1919, though net revenue did not rise proportionally due to higher operating costs.

Fragmentary note on graduation and Praise in a city jail setting
The text alleges Publico’s inactivity during Waterloo confinement except while held in city or county jails where he’s pressed to take needed exercise. It mentions Baby’s praise as unctuous flattery and quotes the North China Herald and a Ben-Falee petition wishing it be burned by the grave of Gol, noting a doppelgänger likeness to a certain highness.
