Dr. f. nj. Warford is Dead.


Many of our older citizens will re-
call DR.. F. M. Warford, who when
young man studied medicine in Leon
fifty years ago with DR.. S. C. Thomp-
son, and will be interested in learn
ing of his death, which occurred a
few days ago at his home in Cicero,
Ind, where he had been a leading
physician for many years. The de-
ceased was a brother of A. r. War
ford, of Leon, and was 78 years of
age. He came to Iowa in 1852 and
studied law one year and then took
up the study of medicine with DR..
Thompson in this city. He studied
for three years while teaching school,
and then entered the Medical College
at Keokuk, from which he graduated
in 1856, and located at Hopeville, and
afterwards practiced at Osceola. At
the breaking out of the civil war he
enlisted in Co. F, 18th Indiana In
fantry. He was afterwards commits
stoned assistant surgeon of the Third
Iowa Cavalry, and after serving for
eighteen months was commissioned as
surgeon of the Fourth Arkansas Cay
airy, being mustered out of the SER
vice June 80, 1865. The same year he
located at Cicero, Ind. and continued
in practice until his death. He is
survived by his wife and one child.

Death of w. r. LeCompte.

1t is with sincere regret that we
learn of the death of w. r. Le-
Compte, editor of the Corydon
Times-Republican, who passed away
at his home in Corydon on Sunday,
Jan. End, his death following an
operation for paresis of the bowels,
but when the operation was per-
formed it was found he was suffering
from other complications and it was
seen that death was inevitable.
Rollie" as he was familiarly
known, had been the managing editor
of the Times-Republican for the past
ten years, and was one of the hard
working editors of the state. He
was an active politician, although he
never held public Office, and was a
prominent figure at the republican
state conventions. He is survived
by his wife, formerly Miss Josephine
Barker, of Humeston, to whom he
was married on April 18, 1909, his
aged parents, three sisters and one
brother. He was a member of the
Masonic lodge and also of the Elks.
The deceased was thirty-five years
of age, and he will be missed among
the editorial fraternity of the state.

THE LOCAL HAPPENINGS
Some Interesting Items Of Local
News Gathered on the Run
During the Past Week.
Leon.

The train came rumbling down the
60"
1t was pretty scene;
The brakeman wrenched the car door
wide,
And with lungs of brass called
"LEEN."
A big long toot and grinding brakes;
Each traveller grabs his own.
AS the K. & w. train drops in,
The brakey yells, "LEE-OWN."
And when in early morning light,
The cars came slipping in at dawn,
The passengers are awakened from
their rest
BY the hoarse cries, "LEE-oN"
UN." LEE-UN."
Then in the evenings pale light,
The milk train makes it's wabbly
run;
We. hear midst crash of cans and
crates,
The brakeman's fierce "LEE-
UN," "LEE-UN."
The Commercial Club should take
this up
Committees wise discuss a plan,
To keep our Better Leon from
Rhyming with Mary Ann.
Is it one syllable, or is it two?
Does it rhyme with "scene" or
DAWN" or "Lone?"
Oh, tell us what reply to make,
Do we live in "LEEN," or LEE
ON" or LEE-OWN?"

FAMOUS DEWAR TROPHY A
THE NEW YORK SHOW.
Handsome Cup Won by Cadillac will
be Among Most Notable of Hon
orariums Exhibited.
One of the most notahle tronhies-

One of the most notable trophies
and indeed the one signifying tri-
umph in the most rigorous contest
among those to be exhibited at the
New York Automobile Show, Jan.
S-l5, will be the Dewar trophy, which
was awarded to the Cadillac by the
Royal Automobile Club of England.
The Dewar trophy, which is a
handsome silver cup, was donated
by Sir Thomas R. Dewar, M. P, to
be awarded by the Royal Automobile
Club each year to the car which
should successfully complete the most
meritorious performance or that
furthering the interests and advance
ment of the industry. 1t was awarded
to the Cadillac in recognition of the
standardization test which took place
In London and is regarded as the
most severe test of mechanical ac-
curacy ever applied to a motor car.
A committee of mechanical experts
appointed by the club selected three
Cadillac cars at random from the
London store room. These cars were
driven to Brookland speed course and
were run 25 miles on the track. Then
they were entirely dismantled, even
TO the removing of every nut, bolt
and screw, and the parts were mixed
In conglomerated heap. To add to
the severity of the test, eighty-nine
parts in which extreme accuracy is
most essential, were discarded and
locked up, and duplicates mixed in
discriminatory with the others.
Three sets of parts were then Sc
lected from the heap to reconstruct
three cars regardless of the cars from
which the parts were originally
taken. The mechanics, still under the
eyes of the technical committee, set
about re-assembling and were al
lowed the use of only spanners and
screw drivers. After the re-assem-
bling was completed the three cars
were driven for 500 miles on the
Brooklands course. At the end of the
trial there was not 200 yards between
them.
To add to the laurels already earn
ed, one of the cars, upon the COM
pletion of the test, was placed under
lock and key until the start of the
1000 mile reliability trials several
months later. Without further at
tention it entered the trials and won
the R. A. c. trophy

Why Local Papers Keep Coming.

We were asked this week by a
delinquent subscriber why we kept
on sending the paper after the sub
scription date had expired. Every
weekly newspapers in towns of this
size is forced to do this. Should we
stop subscriptions when the time ez-
pires nine out of ten the subscriber
would give us calling down. for
insinuating that his credit was not
good. Rather than cast reflection on
the honesty of subscriber to pay a
small debt, it is next to necessity
for home paper to continue send
ing the paper after the time has ex-
pired. 1t is not necessary for the
city dailies or weeklies to follow this
rule, as their subscribers live at
distance and are not personal friends
as is the case with majority of our
subscribers. Our subscribers should
deem it an honor to know that we do
not doubt their integrity and con-
tinue to send them the paper after
the time has expired. Should any
desire their paper discontinued, they
should notify us and remit to. date if
they have not already done so.

Think of the Carrier Boys.

The faithful rural mail carrier
boys have been having an annually
hard time of it the past few weeks
on account of the severe cold wealth
er, the heavy snow and rough roads,
but they have faithfully tried to
serve the patrons of their routes with
mail. Every person who has a rural
mail box should start out with the
new year in firm resolution to help
the boys all they can, and there is
one thing which causes the carriers
more trouble than anything else, and
that is the placing of pennies in the
mail boxes in place of stamping the
letters. Just imagine that you were
out on a twenty-five mile drive with
the thermometer down below zero
and then at nearly every mail box
you came to you had to take off your
gloves and fish around with benumb-
ed fingers after pennies lying flat in
the box. 1t would pretty nearly make
a saint swear. The easiest way to
avoid this trouble is for the patron
to buy few stamps and keep them
handy so that their letters can be
stamped before placing in the mail
box. Either buy the stamps loose or
in the stamp books which sell for
various sums and then you can stamp
your letters and greatly accommo-
date the carriers. 1t will be very lit
tie trouble to each individual to do
this, but you cause the carrier boys a
whole lot of trouble whenever you
fail to stamp your letters and drop
the pennies in the mail box.

A Watermelon Christmas Day.

J.
John Hoffmeir, of this city, was
probably the only Mercer county cit-
izen who carved big watermelon
on Christmas day. 1t was home
grown, too. Last fall when melons
were plentiful Mr.. Hoffmier got big
one which he wrapped securely in
heavy paper. Putting it in sack,
he hung it in the basement of his
boarding house. He took it down
Christmas day. 1t was a little too
ripe when put away, hence was not
very good to eat. The melon was
carved and placed in the show win
dow at Prichard & Berlin's store
where it attracted much attention.
John will try good one next time.
His experiment proves that melons
can be kept in good condition..

the opera house in this city last Fri
day evening to hear the contestants

The judges of the contest We're
Prof. Adam Pickett of the Creston
public schools, L. G. Smith, county
superintendent of Clarke county, and
Rev. L. Hughes of Leon, the latter
judge taking the place of Eta M.
rider, county superintendent of
Ringgold county, who was unable
to reach here in time to act owing to
the train being several hours late,
and their decision seemed to meet
with the approval of the audience.
The Leon school band furnished sew
eral excellent selections, and but
terf1y drill by the primary pupils of
Miss Moorhead's room at the south
Leon school was a pleasing feature.
The next contest will be held at
Lamont on March 25th.
Paul CARRIER, who was awarded the
first prize, won easily and it was
pretty nearly the unanimous verdict
of the audience even before the de-
cision of the judges was announced.
