Mrs. Heron Buries the Hatchet

DEAR EDlToR:-It has frequently oc-
cured to me that the readers who are
interested in poultry raising could help
one another very much by giving their
experiences through these columns,
especially when they have had some
some serious trouble and have found a
good remedy. We raise several hundred
chickens every year. The last two years
have lost good many dollars worth
from roup. used many remedies, none
of them successful, so took to using
the hatchet," but found the treatment
costly. l recently saw an advertise
ment in your paper for Walkers Roup
and Cholera Cure. sent so cents to
the Walker Remedy Co., Dept. II, La
moni. Iowa, for the treatment and out
of SO hens that had the roup bad saved
all but three. | can't speak too strong
of the treatm for it certainly does
the work, and for bowel troubles among
little chicks it just can't be beat. If
more people knew about it they wouldn't
lose SO many of their little chicks with
bowel troubles.
MRS. NELLIE HERON, Eagleville, Mo.

Some PIN Headed Doctors.

They certainly must have a bunch of
pin headed doctors over in Appanoose
county. At the meeting of the APP
panoose County Medical Society held at
Moulton last Friday they adopted a
resolution demanding that DR.. Mayo, of
Rochester, MINI, be not allowed to
read paper before the coming meeting
of the State Medical Society at Des
Moines, for the idiotical reason that
DR.. Mayo had overstepped the limit of
professional ethics and it would be a
rnerited rebuke to cancel him from the
program on account of an illustrated
writeup of the famous hospital operated
by Mayo Bros, at Rochester, Minn.,
which appears in the current number
of the magazine Human Life"
The Mayo Bros. are recognized as
among the leaders in modern surgery,
and their work has attracted the atten-
tion of the world. The idea OF a few
country doctors, probably jealous of
their success, talking about the ethics
OF their profession. But we'll wager a
yellow dog that the State Society will
not recall the invitation to DR.. Mayo,
for it is looked forward to as rare
treat by the progressive doctors of the
entire state

HORSES KICK FATAL
Howard LilIard Dies from Injuries
Received by Being Kicked in the
Face by His Fathers Horse.

On Sunday morning of last week
Howard, the ten year old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Frank Lillard, living north
west of Garden Grove, was kicked in
the face by big draft mare and re-
ceived injuries causing his death on
Wednesday afternoon. His father was
leading the mare through gate when
she whirled and kicked the lad who was
standing little to one side, the dis
tance being just right for him to re-
ceive the full force of the kick. The
animals hoof struck him squarely in
the left eye, breaking the cheek bone
in two places and cutting his face badly.
The lower eye lid was cut so that the
eyeball hung out on his face.
The funeral was held at the home on
Thursday afternoon, conducted by Rev.
Wilson.
Howard was a bright little fellow,
who was born Nov. l0th, 1898, being one
of a pair of twin boys, anG his sad death
is deeply regretted by many friends
who extend their deepest sympathy to
Mr.. and Mrs. Lillard and family.

We Can Secure 55th Iowa Regi-
mental EnCampment Iowa Ma
tiOndl Guards.

Gen. James Rush Lincoln, Major of
the both regiment of the Iowa National
Guards, and DR.. W. S. Conkling, regi-
mental surgeon with the rank of Major,
OF Ames, came to Leon last Thursday
and spent couple of days here looking
over the grounds with view of locat-
ing. the annual encampment of the
regiment here in August. A committee
from the Commercial Club droye them
around and several tracts of ground
were shown to them and if Leon wants
the encampment they have an excellent
chance to secure it. The encamprlent
would bring twelve companies of infan-
try of the Iowa National Guards here
and also three companies of United
States cavalry of the regular army, one
battery OF artillery and hospital corps.
The dates OF the encampment are Aug
ust 9TH to 18th and it would be great
thing for Leon if the encampment can
be secured. 1t would mean that be-
tween 1000 and 200 soldiers would be
here for ten days. All that is asked of
the local committee is that they furnish
suitable grounds, water, ice and Is
cords of wood, and this can be done
without any trouble. Governor Carroll
and his staff would be here on Gov
ernors day, and the spectacle of seeing
the soldiers drilling would be great
treat to all the people of the county.
Gen. Lincoln and Major Conkling ex-
pressed themselves as we'll pleased
with the grounds shown them here and
if they can be secured will recommend
that the encampment be held at Leon.
The holding of the encampment here
would mean that many thousands of dol
lars would be spent in Leon while the
soldiers are here, and it is an opportun-
ity which we should not pass up. The
matter will be taken up at the regular
meeting of the Commercial Club on Fri
day night for final determination.

Waterworks Comment.

Leon is advocating the voting of
bonds for complete system of water
works to be owned and controlled by
the town. That is right. We are sur
prised that Leon has not a system of
waterworks. 1t is right for the city to
construct the system and operate them.
Corning owns her own system and the
revenue from the private consumers
pays all the operating expenses OF
every kind and there is revenue to be
turned into the city treasury, besides
the city has fire protection free. The
Free Press has long advocated the mu-
nicipal ownership of public utilities,
especially in small towns. Politics will
want to be kept out of the management.
There are many competent people who
want to sell their services to look after
these utilities and city can always Sc
cure them. II Leon puts in system OF
waterworks and will send committee
to Corning to see how we make our sys-
tenn pay a revenue to the city they may
gain some valuable information.-Corn
ing Free Press.

Court House Curblna is Poor.

The big job of cement curbing which
was put in around the court house
square last summer by Lauritzen Bros,
who had the court house contract, was
evidently not made rich enough, or
something was the matter, for it is
crumbling away in many places. The
board of supervisors have instructed
auditor Lemley to take the matter up
with the contractors, and see what can
be done in the matter. The curbing was
a separate contract from the court
house, and it was put in at cost Of
something like 1,60O.

The school board of Leon has re-
quested the graduating class to wear
the cap and gown at the commence
ment exercises. 1t is wise request.
The costumes worn by the graduates
are usually source of no little conten-
tion and they are the cause of much
heartache and of much serious trouble
in families where the resources will not
permit of An expensive graduating out
fit. The cap and gown ought to be the
rule in every high school in the state.
And after all, it looks as good, if not
better, than any other costume that
can be devised.-Burlington Hawk-Eye.
