Garden Grove Old Settlers
Reunion.

The 21st annual Old Settlers Re-
union opens at Garden Grove on Thurs
day, August and continues over Fri
day. They have made great prepare
lions this year for the reunion which
promises to be the greatest and best
ever held at Garden Grove. A number
of free attractions have been secured,
Including the Mccoy family of acrobats,
base ball each day, jubilee singers, two
bands, Garden Grove and Humeston,
and numerous other attractions will
afford plenty of amusements. On
Thursday Senator Berry, of Indianola,
will speak, and on Friday, Hon. Jerry B.
Sullivan, of Des Moines, who is one of
the finest speakers in the state. The
Leon base ball team will play against
the Seymour team on Thursday, and the
winner of this game plays against Hum
eston on Friday. If the train service
was so Leon people could go to Garden
Grove and return the same day nearly
every one in Leon would attend, but as
it is great many will drive up each
day. Garden Grove always does the
proper thing at their Old Settler re-
unions, and this year will be no excep-
ton. If you want to have good time,
attend their reunion next week.

Des Moines, Iowa.
Though some high temperatures were
registered during the last four days,
the mean temperature of the past week
was little below the normal for the
latter half OF July. In the forepart OF
the week there was considerable cloud
mess, with local showers of variable
amounts. The average rainfall was
much below the normal, the larger
measurements being reported from por-
lions OF the northern section. AS yet,
however, the crops show no signs OF
suffering from effects of day weather.
Corn has made rapid growth, and on the
average the crop is more promising
than on the corresponding date in
any previous year since 1900. Good
progress has been made in haying and
harvesting oats and barley, and the
quality OF both hay and grain is report
ed to be better than the average
OF recent years. Pastures are fair, and

Have a Year In Which to Sell Pres.
ent Stocks.

Since the new pure food law passed
by the Iowa state legislature last fall
has gone into effect many of the mer-
chants and dealers have been asking
whether or not they have the right to
dispose OF the stock now on hands if it
comes within the sections of the law.
Many of the merchants of Leon as
we'll as nearly every other city in the
state probably have some goods on hand
that would be condemned under the
new statute that has gone into effect.
If these had to be thrown away it
would work big hardship on the deal
ers that purchased them innocently and
there has been many inquiries at The
REPORTER office in regard to this ques-
ton.
The new statute has provision
which makes this very plain however,
and which relieves all cause for worry
for year at least.
The statute states that the dealers
be condemned under the new statute
July 1, 1907, in which to get rid of the
goods on hand.
This rule applies to both wholesale
and retail merchants and in other words
it gives them one year from July 1 just
passed in which to dispose of the goods
that might otherwise be condemned.
After that time all food stuffs not
coming within the provision of the
statute may be destroyed. There is
much comment on the new law among
the citizens especially since it has gone
into effect and the general opinion is
that it is something that has been much
needed and that it will serve to get rid
of adulterated and obnoxious foods.
