Clean Up.

Don't forget that this is the time Of
year for cleaning up the yards and
alleys. Leon wants to be a sanitary
city, one which it's residents can point
with pride as clean and pretty COM
munity. This desire can be realized if
every property owner sees to it that
his yard and the adjacent alley is
cleaned up and kept clean during the
summer. The way to get good start
is to get an early start, and by setting
a good example before your neighbors.
Start now to clean up before the weeds
get the start of you, and you will be
surprised how easy it will be to keep
your premises in nice shape. Plant
some flowers too, and see that they are
cared for, and make your yard a place
of beauty. 1t only costs a little work,
and you will take great satisfaction in
the work after you get started. Every
body help the good work along.

Swift & Co. Sell Leon Plant.

There was considerable surprise in
Leon last Friday when it. was learned
that Swift & Co. had sold their big
poultry plant in this city, the entire
business being transferred to the
Clarinda Poultry, Butter & Egg Co., who
will continue the business. The new
firm is one of the largest dealers in
poultry and produce in the west and
will probably conduct business at this
place even more extensive than that
done by Swift & Co., as it is reported
they will also buy cream here and
either ship it to one of their creamery
plant or install new creamery plant
in connection with their business here.
All of the old employees of Swift & Co.
have been retained by the new firm,

tinue in charge.
