DAIRY SPECIAL COMING
Burlington Railroads Special Dairy
Train will Visit Leon. The Date
is Thursday, November 4.

The Burlington Dairy Special will
visit Leon on Thursday, Nov. 4th.
Some time ago the Burlington rail-
road announced that they would run
a Dairy Special over a part of their
lines in Iowa this fall, similar to
their Seed Corn Special and Good
Roads Special. They took the mat
ter up with the Leon Commercial
Club and asked them to cooperate
with them in providing for big
meeting to be held at Leon, but when
the matter was first brought up it
was impossible to give the date when
it would be here. Since that time
definite arrangements have been COM
pleted and Leon is one of the FORUM
ate cities which are included in the
itinerary of the Dairy Special. The
Leon Commercial Club will take
charge of the local arrangements
and the meeting will probably be
held in the court house. Secretary
o. e. Hull, of the Commercial Club,
has received the following letter
from L. E. Galley, the dairy agent of
the Burlington nne, dealing with the
nature and Importance of the meet
ing. The letter is entirely self
explanatory and needs no further
comment at this time. Further an
nouncements in regard to the meet
ing will be made later. The letter Is
as follows:
Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. 4, 1909.
Mr.. o. e. Hull,
Secretary Leon Commercial Club.
Dear Sir:-The date for our
lectures to reach your town is Nov.
4th. Kindly keep me advised as to
just what we can expect when we get
there. AS before stated, we will ex-
pect you to have the hall, or place of
meeting provided, and have the ad-
vertising out in ample time to insure
a good attendance.
You can advertise speaker from
the Agricultural Department at
Washington, D. c., as we'll as from
the State Agency Department of
Iowa, with possibly one or two
others.
These lectures will in every case
be delivered in the afternoon of the
date given.
We have endeavored to, and I be-
lieve we have succeeded in securing
these lectures, and handle their sub
JCCIS III oil lAISA CSCAA6 anu AAoSA w
tive manner.
Your aid in properly attending to
these above matters will insure a
full attendance as we'll as help the
writer to carry out future plans to
help the people help themselves on
our lines, this. being the Burlington's
policy.
In conclusion, wish to state that
the total expense to your community
locally is in advertising the event in
the proper manner and providing an
adequate place for the meeting. This
we feel sure you will do in salts
factory manner. We would suggest
that you advertise the event under
the auspices of your local organiza-
ton, or of the business men, col
lectively. Yours very truly,
L. E. Galley, Dairy Agent.
The above letter explains the i'm
portance and value of these dairy
lectures. In all probability Leon
will be the only point in this county
where they can be heard. For that
reason everybody should unite in
boosting the affair in order to make
it a complete success.

James Gray met with an accident
at the loading place Of the Buell. mill
Saturday which will incapacitate him
for work a week or more. He was
shifting some cars on the track
when one, which was being pushed
back of him, ran over his left foot.
The ligaments were badly torn and
caused him great pain for several
days. He is getting along nicely at
this time.

these singers were vociferously ap-
plauded and they were compelled to
