Naming the Farm.

Every encouragement should be given
to efforts designed to make country life
attractive. The drift to the city has
been altogether 100 great for the good
of either town or country. In the con.
gested centers of population are thous-
ands of men earning a precarious living
who, if they had stayed upon the farm,
would today be independent, care free
and contented.
Fortunately the craze for city life is
less than it was. There are reasons for
it. The sense of isolation, which was
the worst feature of farm life, is rapidly
disappearing before the advent of tele-
phones, rural mail delivery and trolley
lines. Today almost every farmer in
some states may be considered SUI
burban resident of some nearby town,
so accessible has the country become.
One thing that helps to make the
farm attractive is to give it an individu-
ality by naming it. 1t promotes a
healthy sentiment, and worthy pride
in ones home that is largely absent
when the farm is unnamed. The farmer
bestows names upon his horses, dogs
and cows-why not upon his farm?
1t is far better to distinguish it by
SohiS SuioooiS elOlC lldu W rclSF W
it as being the third on the town line,
concessions, or some other road. 1t
also gives feeling of satisfaction to
have on the business and family station
cry the name of ones home.
Appropriate names are easy to find.
Historic associations will in some local
tiles suggest many names. Distinctive
natural features, as brooks, clumps of
trees, and location, can also supply a
multitude of appropriate names. There
is something charming about valley
view" "Meadowbrook," Oak Grove"
Hilltop and other similar titles. Not
only is it charming but it fosters the
desire to make the farm worthy of it's
title.
All this added to the advantages
which farm life now presents is grad
ually turning discomfort into content,
so that it is not unreasonable to believe
that the farmer will be as proud of his
home as his city brother is of his home
on some fashionable avenue.

Miss Lillian Smith, 19-year-old
teacher in the public school at Voor-
heis, in Blackhawk county, is enjoying
unwonted popularity. burly citizen
called at the school to demonstrate
with the teacher, because of something
that he did not approve of in the
manner in which she managed the
school. He was not as choice in his
language as he might have been and
became abusive and insulting, until the
little woman could brook it no longer,
She picked up heavy stove poker and
beating the unwelcome and unmannerly
visitor over the head, forced him to beat
retreat. When the board learned of
the affair they promptly voiced their
approval of the teacher and the manner
in which she managed the school, by
increasing her salary from $50 to $50
per month and admiring citizens rustied
around and raised $10O. which they
invested in a diamond ring, and this
they presented to Miss Smith as token
of their appreciation of twentieth
century Iowa teacher. In another Iowa
town, the citizens fairly fought for the
privilege of contributing toward the
fine which was assessed against man
who had licked very unpopular promi-
nent lawyer. Evidently public senti-
ment is very much alive in Iowa.

Mrs. Jane Milligan HandIey.

was born in Morgan county, Ohio, Feb.
%, 1925, and died at her home at 213 S.
Roam ST., Webb City, Mo-, at the age of
81 years, months and % days.
Her father was the Rev. John Mill
gan of the Pittsburgh Conference. At
the age of fourteen she was converted
and joined the M. e. church of which
she was member for sixty-eight years.
In May 1912 she was united in marriage
to Chauncy Handley, to which union
were born ten children, three of whom
survive to mourn her demise. In 1854
they came to Leon where Mr.. Handley
and eldest son enlisted in the army.
With the death of Mrs. Jane Handley
the last surviving charter member of
the National Women's Relief corps has
joined her comrades in the great be-
yond. Shortly after the close of the
Civil war Mrs. Handley left Leon and
settled in Denver, Colorado, and took
an active part in the organization of
the National Woman's Relief Corps.
Not only was she a charter member but
was largely responsible for the organi-
zation of that body. which has since
grown and prospered and which now
has members in almost every city, town
and village in the United States. She
was the last of the charter members to
die
Mrs. Handley went to Webb City,
Mo-, about fifteen years ago and has
since made her home in. that city. In
her last days she received the tender
and loving care of neighbors and
friends. She was eighty two years old
and death was due to feebleness caused
by old age. Her daughter, Mrs. Robt.
Kelley, OF Eagle, Colo. formerly of this
city. upon not hearing from her became
alarmed and started to visit her, the
telegram announcing her death reach
ing that city shortly after her depart
ure from that city, and upon arriving in
Webb City was greatly shocked at
hearing her DEATH

TO KILL DANDELIONS.
A Spray.Which is Said to Be Sure
Death.

Like thousands of other sections
throughout the United States, Leon
lawns are overrun with the pesky little
yeliow-headed dandelion. Many rem
edies have been tried in all effort to
kill this weed, but none have proved
successful. 1t seems, however, that a
scientist in an eastern college has dis
covered spray that will knock out
this yellow peril quickly and perma-
nently. His formula is simple and mex
pensive. Here it is:
Dissolve two pounds of sulphate of
iron in a gallon of water and add about
two and one-half ounces of sulphuric
acid. Place the liquid in an ordinary
sprinkling can and get busy. This po-
ton will serve to send an ordinary
sized lawn to witherland.
Should Sir Dandelion have possession
of large tract of land and it is desired
to kill the encroacher head, body and
roots, use the mixture in the follow
ing proportions:
Add a UNDERGROUND sack of sui
phate Of iron to 52-gallon barrel of
water; mix thoroughly and add ten
pounds of sulphuric acid. Use regu-
lar spraying machine and the dandelion
is dead one.
Sulphuric acid being deadly
poison, considerable care should be ex-
ercised not only in it's use, but in it's
handling before it is used.

Another serious accident was narrow
ly averted Tuesday when Jimmie Gould
was taking his COWS to pasture and
while crossing the railroad track near
the bank, there was wagon in front of
the cattle and somewhat delayed them,
and Jimmie barely succeeded in getting
them across before the morning freight
from Leon came laundering down
frightening the team and pinning jim
mie between the wagon and the bank
building, the pony he was riding, also
became frightened and turned to re-
cross the track, but was scared back
onto the vacant lot behind the bank.
The train was going at least IL miles an
hour, some claiming Is miles. Unless
something is done to stop this fast ran
ming through town some one will be
killed and it will be too late toa act then.
