Farms and Homes.

The man who wrestles with the COW
and learns the calves to suck, who casts
the corn before the swine, is now in
greatest luck; for buffers on the upper
grade, veal's higher than kite, pork is
climbing up the scale and beef is out of
sight; eggs he gathers every day from
bis Poland chicken coop are worth their
weight in gold, and we are in the soup.
His corn brings him fancy price, it's
rising every day, and he rakes in all
kinds Of "mon" for half load of hay.
The farmer is in the saddle, and when
he comes to town the rest of us by
right should go way back and sit down.
From every viewpoint the farming class
of this county is in better shape now
than at any period since the civil war.
More people own their homes and little
farms more are free from the yoke of
bondage inflicted by burdensome debts;
more are becoming independent each
year by making comfortable living
for their families; more are waking up
to the necessity Of giving their children
better educational advantages, and
withal, prosperity and contentment
seems to prevail throughout the ooun-
try. Let progress still be our watch
word

SAFE AND SANE CELEBRATION.
Everybody Satisfied" Is the Uni
YerSdl Report.

OF course the biggest celebration in
this part Of the country was at Leon.
The special train running from Keller
ton to Leon, due to leave Lamont at
seven o'clock, was about an hour late,
and was crowded to it's utmost capacity,
255 tickets being sold at this place
alone.
The rain of the two days preceding
had made the roads so muddy that the
parade was postponed until the after
noon. The business men of Leon seemed
to have outdone all former efforts in de-
signing their floats, and added to the
five brass bands, the procession extend
ed many blocks and presented beauti-
full appearance.
The court house was open all day
and constant stream of visitors flowed
through the spacious building, or rested
and refreshed themselves in the COO
basement room prepared for that Pur-
pose.
The speaking was held in the large
tent in the corner of the square, where
comfortable seats had been placed
There was merry-go-round and mum
erous shows, both free and otherwise
and with the stands, shooting galleries
and like attractions, there was no OPP
portunity for the vast crowd to com
plain for lack Of entertainment.
The lovers of the national sport were
treated to two good games of ball dur
ing the day, one between Leon anc
Davis City in the forenoon, resulting il
a score of 3 to in favor of the former
and in the afternoon Davis City VOL
from Garden Grove, the score being tt
1.
The long day was brought to a clos
by a splendid display of fireworks, Sc
off from the roofs of two stores, one Of
each side Of the square.-LamoniC hron

Don't For Parents.

Don't break promises made to your
child. You must keep your word il
you wish to keep your childs conf
dence.
Don't make it necessary for your
children to go away from home in order
to have good time. Some children
feel most at home when away from
home. Don't be the fathers and mothers
of such child.
Don't punish child without letting
him know why he is punished. 1t is
unjust, and the child knows it. First
show him where he has done wrong,
and how he can get right, and then
discipline him as you think best.
Don't scold. What good does it do?
Listen to your scolding neighbor. She
is your looking glass. Take good look
at yourself and then, ever after, be
pleasant and sweet, though firm, with
your children.
Don't quarrel, at least not in the pres
cnce of your children. If you must say
mean and spiteful things to each other
go into room by yourselves, and have
it out where no one but God and your
own ears can hear; but don't be the
ones to teach your children the con-
temptible art of wranglipg.
Don't punish your children for not
behaving themselves when away from
home. Punish yourself, if anybody; you
are the one to blame. Had you taught
your children to conduct themselves
properly when at home, you would
have no trouble with them while
abroad.
children would discover that you loved
| DIX Lat
know it; caress them; play with them;
love just as much as flowers need sun
shine, and it is your duty to see that
they get it.
Don't tell, or allow to be told, to your
children horrible hobgoblin stories. Fill
the child's mind with beautiful thoughts,
thoughts that in after years will bios.
som into noble deeds. Don't crowd into
his head host of hideous monsters,
that will always be thrusting their
frightful faces from out of every dark
, corner, unless you wish to grow crop
of towards.
Don't try to make your children mind
by threatening impossible punshments.
They will soon discover that you never
do "knock their heads Off" that the
DOGGY man" never does catch them,
that oil skin you alive alive" don't
mean anything, in fact, they will soon
find that you have been lying to them
right along; and this knowledge will
not tend to make them more dutiful and
lovable.
Don't let false moiesty or anything
else keep you from warning your sons
and daughters of the pitfalls that lie
all along the pathway of life. Not only
tell them to beware, but tell them OF
, just what to beware. Teach them how
they will be assailed, in order that they
, may know how to guard themselves
+ Be the first to reveal to your boy OF
girl the socalled secrets of life. Don't
let one Of your children's foul mouthed
f companions get the start of you.
i, Finally don't shirk your paterna
duties. Don't let your children bring
: themselves up. Don't let anybody else
u bring them up. Bring them up your
selves. Pour into their lives all that il
| best in your own. Give them the RICH
start. Plant love deep in their hearts
instill beautiful thoughts in their mind
and leave the rest with God.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1908-07-16

The evidence in Judge McPhersons
court shows that the First National
Bank had been insolvent for years. Re-
ceiver Bostwick testified that it could
not have recouped the losses. A cir
cumstance was brought to light. Near
five years ago the bank was in bad
way. The amount of the bank was GER
tilted to the examiner as being in bad
way. Cashier Croker was in Chicago
and knew that the letter had been
mailed. He saw Charles Guthrie, mail
clerk, and told him to get the letter.

An exchange figures that twenty
years from now the boys OF today will
be doctors and drunkards, lawyers and
liars, senators and sneak thieves, edi-
tors and idiots, ministers and murder
ers, republicans and democrats, and so
on down the line. 1t is impossible to
tell to a certainty in just what class
your boy will be, but it is possible for
your boy to be put under such influen-
ces as we'll steer him in the right direc-
tion. Follow the boys of twelve, and
in twenty years some OF them will be
in congress, while others will be in
Jail. Parents, do you know where your
boy was last night, and for what class
he is training? Do you know?

matter came to an issue the other day
when women patrons entered an objec-

gressive age and in his opinion a man
in shirt sleeves was no more shocking
than woman with no sleeves at all
and that man without coat upon his
back was no more idecent than women
attired in one Of the advanced styles of
peek a-boo waists.
