Practical joking by telephone is dan
gerous business. Two merry young men
in New York for example, thought It ex-
cellent fun recently to awaken another
good citizen and send him ont in a pouring
rain with the information, presumably from
police headquarters, that his store had
been burglarized. The store hadn't been
burglarized. and the records Of the tele-
phone company promptly located the false
informants and landed them in the police

Our versatile city attorney is said to
be burning midnight oil to devise ways
and means for paying the police force
out of the city treasury after the police
fund is exhausted by some hocus pocus
that will not constitute fragrant violn-
ton of the charter prohibition against
overlaps. The latest suggestion is that
the patrolmen who would otherwise be
laid off be continued as special police
men" and draw their money out of the
general fund. If this is permissible this
year 1t will be permissible any time
and all the time, and the whole police
force may be enrolled as special police
men, leaving the police fund at the dis
posal of the police board for other pur-
poses. Better still, the fire department
or the street force, or any other branch
of the municipal government, might he
transferred TO the roll of special police
men by simply changing the designation
of their employment on the books. If
the charter is good for anything, let us
try to live up to it; if not, let us have
II changed.

There is one Office in lower Broadway
that attracts an unusual amount Of notice.
II has been trimmed in mourning for more
than a year. Long strips Of black are
draped above the doors and windows and
twined about the counters and chandeliers
The mourning does not appear to be as
sumed in memory Of any particular person
Nobody connected with the establishment
has died and no financial loss has been
sustained. II is possible that the sombre
decorations have been adopted merely as
an advertising dodge.

The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1905-03-09

Every man thinks he knows how to
run a farm, just as most men believe
they could edit a better newspaper than
those who are in the business. In both
cases the man who really knows most
feels most modest about it. Book farm
ers have long been the butt of universal
ridicule; and book farmers often get
control Of agricultural papers and make
a sad mess Of it as leaders of the hard
headed, common-sense farmers who have
learned how to do things by doing them.
Fortunately for Decatur county, the
farm paper most generally read here is
The Iowa Homestead which is edited by
practical farmers who live on and
operate their own farms, besides being
experts in the science and theory Of
agriculture. The LEON REPORTER takes
pleasure in recommending this excellent
farm journal as the best exponent of
practical and scientific agriculture, hor-
ticulture, stock-raising, dairy farming
and the allied Industries of the farm.
We take subscriptions at this Office; and
believe in so doing we are best promot-
ing the interests of Decatur county.
