"Of course want to hear it." she re-

At once the boy assumed military

A Word to the Voters.

LEON, Iowa, Oct. u, 1908.
EDITOR LION REPORTER.
AS a resident and voter of Decatur
county, Iowa, for fifty-seven years,
want to say few words to the young
voters at this time.
One year ago the 28th of this month
there was q money panic in Wall street
which went like wild fire all over the
United States, and Wall street said
the banks all over the United States
must refuse to pay more than five dol
lars on the hundred dollars that the
people had deposited, and tho banks
all said we cannot pay you now and
don't know when we can. What vas
the result? In less than two weeks
the price OF fat hogs fell two dollars on
the hundred pounds. They had been
selling for $500 per hundred and had
remained at that price for six months,
and the great bulk of the hogs were
sold at that price. Now, do you want
the banks to have that power any long
er? l believe the answer of 80 out Of
every 100 would be "No." Then vote
the democratic ticket and the next
legislature of Iowa will pass deposit
or's guarantee law that will guarantee
every dollar to tho depositor when he
calls for it.
Now, lay aside your party prejudice
and voth for your own and everybody
else's interest. need not tell you that
W. H. Taft is bitterly opposed to any
such law. Then why should any labor
ing man vote for W. II. Taft. He is not
the nominee of the rank and fle Of the
republican party, but of Wall street,
and should not have the votes Of the
great'laboring classes Of this country.
His record as Judge of the United States
court is against all labor organizations,
and in favor Of the trusts.
Tho guarantee Of deposits in bank is
the only remedy against money panics
in the future. The present banking
system has proven to be failure to the
depositors. Now, let us try the guaran-
tee system for dcpositors. Look at the
Oklahoma banks. Their deposits are
increasing in all banks which have COM
piled with the laws. The Hon. E. J..
Sankey, if elected, will use his very
best influence to secure guarantee
law for depositors, and the writer Of
this heard Mr.. Dye say that he did not
know whether he was in favor Of the law
or not.
Don't fail to come out and vote your
honest sentiment : on election day.
Equal rights. for all"
Yours truly,
w. e. CANNON.

FINDS PURE COPPER.
]. M. Osborne Discovers Consider
able Pure Copper on the VIM.
Ray Farm in Eden township.

There is considerable excitement
down in Rden township over the discov-
cry Of copper in considerable quanti-
ties on the farm owned by VIM. Ray, six
miles south of Leon. The farm is oc-
cupied by j. M. Osborne and part of
it is very rough and rocky. The rocks
in many places have that peculiar green
color Indicating copper, and few days
ago Mr.. Osborne picked up slug of
pure copper which weighs four pounds.
He brought the speciman to Leon
Tuesday and it is on exhibition for a
few days at The Reporter Office. Mr..
Osborne says that along the creek which
runs through the farm he has noticed
quite number of smaller chunks of
copper, but did not pay much attention
to them until he found the four pound
chunk the other day. Just how much
copper there is on the farm is not known.
1t is seldom that copper is found in the
pure state as is the sample brought to
this Office, as it is generally found deep
in the ground and with rock which has
to be millea to extract the copper. Cop
per is now worth from fourteen to If
teen cents per pound, and should it de-
velope that there is copper on tho farm
in any considerable quantity, it would
prove veritable gold mine for the
owner and the little rough farm would
be worth many thousand dollars. It
may be that steps will be taken at once
to develope the find and who knows
bat what there might be rich vein of
copper hero in this county.

Ii You Don't Know "Sealshlpt''
You Don't Know Oysters.

"sealshipt" Oysters are the most de-
licious and wholesome of sea foods. II
you do not like oysters it is because
you have never had oysters with the
actual oyster flavor. You are accustom-
ed to tub oysters, packed in water and
ice. Water bloats and bleaches oysters.
"Sealshipt" Oysters are shucked into
steel containers, then sealed and packed
with ice around the containers. They
keep fresh and firm as the day they
were tonged. You get the unique
flavor that suggests the salt sea in
"Sealshipts" only. Solid meats, too-no
melted ice or doubtful water for your
money.
Order "Sealshipts" for dinner today.
You can see them at our stores in the
Pure White Porcelain Cases which bear
the Blue "Sealshipt" Trademark. They
are delicious. Harry ]. Vogt & Co.

Must Retire Eggs Before Maturity.

Beware of the egg inspectors!
II your eggs have grown old in the
service, or oven if they have reached
middle age, overhaul them thoroughly
before turning them loose on cold and
cruel world. If they are stoop shouldered
or have Settled" permanently, put them
on the retired list before the crisis
comes.
That all eggs, both in stores and in
the farmers barns, will be rigidly in
spected if there is the least suspicion
that they are antiquated and that the
owner of such eggs will be duly fined
in any sum from $40 to 800 by the
court, is the edict of State Dairy Com
missioner Fl. r. Wright, of Des Moines.
A number Of inspectors will be sent
out over the state to look into the egg
situation. The inspector has the priv
ilege of going to any store or country
residence for the purpose of seizing an
unsuspecting egg and choking it to death
just to see if it is alive. II it is in good
health, a post mortem examination will
disclose the fact, but if it is feeling
rather punny, the egg will have seen to
it that the information may be easily
secured. III
If the autopsy discloses internal COM
plications the merchant or farmer, as
the case may be, will leave the place
Immediately in company with the in
spector and go to the police station,
where the owner Of the egg will be ar.
rested for having in his possession
"bad egg"

Hon. D. f. Lambert, of Lamont, was
the speaker at the weekly meeting of
the Leon Bryan Club on Monday night,
and the Biggs' hall, the headquarters of
the club was we'll filled with voters
to hear his address. Mr.. Lambert
is deep student of political mat
ters and is splendid student. His
address was masterful presentation
of the political issues and his argu-
ments in favor of the democratic plat
form and candidates were very convinc-
ing. 1t was one of the best political
speeches ever heard in Decatur county.

A Correction.

In the last issue of The Reporter the
statement was made that Mr.. Burns,
the republican candidate for clerk, had
been turned down by his party as a
a candidate some years ago. Our at
tention has been called to the fact that
this is not correct. In 1901 Mr.. Burns
was the candidate for sheriff for the
short term and we were under the i'm
preston that he was one of the candi-
dates for the fall term that year and was
defeated, but we were in error. We
have no desire to misrepresent any
person and cheerfully make the correc-
tion of our statement.

attendance was very disappointing, not
half as large as the audience when Hon.

made a typical republican speech but
