Commercial Club Resolutions.

4 At the regular meeting of the Leon
Commercial Club held on June End,
1911, the following resolution was
unanimously adopted:
, To the Honorable Mayor and City
Council of the City of Leon, Iowa:
Whereas, The rules and regula-
tions of the State Board of Health
provide that all stores, restaurants,
hotels and other public places shall
b. kept in a sanitary condition, and
iHSis we'll known fact that ell
drinking water should be kept in
sanitary containers. and all fruits,
produce and vegetables should be
securely screened so as to exclude
flies, and that all back rooms, cellars,
store rooms and alleys should be
kept in sanitary condition, and
Whereas, In many of the stores
and public places in Leon fruits,
vegetables and other produce are set
out in the open, and drinking water
is kept in open vessels, without any
protection from dust and flies, and
Whereas, The common fly, after
depositing his bill and feet in the
filth and expectoration that is so
frequently found on the streets,
walks and alleys, lights on the fruit
and vegetables and washes his feet
and face in the open water vessel,
thereby inoculating the same with
tuberculosis and other contagious
diseases, and
Whereas, Some of the back doors
and alleys are not only in an unsan-
itary condition but stencil in the
very nostrils of decency, therefore
be it
Resolved, BY the Leon Com
mercial Club that the City Council
of Leon be asked to appoint COM
petent health officer (provided they
have not already done so), and take
such measures as will improve the
present sanitary conditions of our
stores, hotels, restaurants and other
public places. And be it further
Resolved, That the secretary of
,ssals4 Club be directed to present to
the Honorable Mayor and City Coun-
Gil of Leon copy of this resolution.

man, and we are at loss to under
stand how a man could enter the
ministry after enduring the trials
and tribulations Of newspaper work.
His address was a veritable treat,
and. his original thoughts gave the
audience as we'll as the class much
to think about. The bridal chorus
by a quartet composed of Misses
Hazel Moore, Olive Bright, Olive
Gwtnn and Miss Vass was greatly en-
jeyed by the audience. President L..
p. Van Werden, of the Leon School
Board, presented the class with their
diplomas in few we'll chosen words,
and after music by the orchestra the
vast audience was dismissed with a
benediction by Rev. c. w. Reeder.

Waubonsie President Was Here.

u. G. Reininger, of Shenandoah,
president of the Waubonsie Trail As
sOciation, was in Leon last Thursday,
being brought from Lamont to Leon
by w. A. Hopkins and c. E. Blair in
Mr.. Hopkins car. President Reinin-
ger made the trip over the trail in
Ringgold and Decatur counties to see
how the work was progressing and
expressed himself as greatly pleased
with the result. He told US that
more work was being done in Deca-
tur and Ringgold counties than on
all the balance of the trail. J. 1.
Bagnall, of Shenandoah, the local Or
ganizer, was also in the party and is
engaged in the work of organizing
the farmers along the trail. The
map making car of the Iowa Publish
ing Co. will 60 over the trail the
coming week to make the official
map.

Want Better Express and Telegraph
Service.

At the regular meeting of the Leon
Commercial Club last Friday even
ing several matters of public interest
were taken up and discussed, and
committees appointed to look after
them.
The matter of securing an uptown
Office of the Western Union Tele-
graph Go. was taken up and COM
mittee consisting of A. l.. Ackerley,
Marion Woodard and Fred Teale ap-
pointed to make an investigation and
report. Leon should have an uptown
Office The Western Union Office is
located at the depot, mile from the
square, and the delivery service of
messages is about as poor as it could
be. Many ;telegrams received at this
Office are simply mailed in the post
Office and are not received until the
following day. When a person pays
good money to send a telegram they
have right to expect that it will be
delivered promptly. The same COM
mittee were also instructed to take
up the matter of better express facili-
ties, so that express will be received
and dispatched on the morning and
evening trains. which would be a
great convenience to the public.
A committee consisting of E..
Housh, Marion Woodard and w. j.
Springer were appointed to meet
with the board of supervisors and re-
quest that the one mill road tax levy
be spent on the four principal roads
leading into Leon.
The club also passed a resolution
requesting the city council to direct
the city health oftcer to inspect all
public places as required by law, in
cluding hotels, restaurants, meat
shops, slaughter houses and poultry
plants and see that the law is en-
forced in regard to keeping them in
q sanitary condition, and also to see
that the alleys of the city are clean
ed and kept in sanitary condition.

CARNIVAL NEXT WEEK
Miller Bros. Big United Shows will
Exhibit 10 Leon All Next Week.
A Refined Carnival Co.

Newt week is carnival week in
Leon. The X. p. band have contract
ed with Miller Bros. International
Shows United to appear in this city
for a weeks engagement, and it will
be one long week OF continuous fun
and amusement. There will be
twenty high class features, big ami
NAL circus, a score OF novelties, SEN
sational free features and the shows
carry a fine Italian uniform band.
The carnival company comes to this
city with the very highest recon-
mendations from cities where they
have exhibited. There are no snake
eating or immoral attractions of any
kind, and no graft or rowdyism is
permitted. The city council has
granted permission to place the at
fractions in the street around the
square, but travel will not be i'm
peded. The entire carnival Is free
from all old time graft and is strict
ly moral, refined and up-to-date with
many sensational free features, new
riding devices, everything that Is
new, novel, odd, strange, education
al, entertaining and pleasing. Their
fine band gives free concerts each
afternoon and evening.
The x. r. band boys under their
contract are to receive percentage
of the receipts during the week, and
in patronizing the various attrac-
tiOns you will be giving some 1nan-
cial assistance to the band boys.
The shows use ten cars and q spec
ial train to be transported from place
to place, and they carry 1875 people
with them. This means that consid-
erable money will be spent by them
in our city during the week. They
come to Leon from Unionville, Mo-,
where they are exhibiting this week
to a big business, and will arrive here
Sunday evening or Monday morning.
Week before last they were at
Macon, Mo-, and the Daily Chronicle
in speaking of their visit to that city
says:
Miller Bros. International Shows
which have been exhibiting in Macon
all week for the benefit of the fire
department, close their engagement
tonight, :and leave for Bro0kfied,
where they show next week. Taken
Ill in all, this is the cleanest Aggre
cation of it's kind ever seen here.
The shows are really high class and
worth more than the admission
charged. The people are ladies and
gentlemen. No rowdyism is tolerated.
The managers are first-class gen.
tlemen atosatransact business with.
The band is the best ever heard In
Macon, and we wish them success
wherever they may go, and hope
they will visit Macon again i'm the
near future"

THE OPPORTUNITIES
OFFERED AT HOME
ARE USUALLYSAFEST

for young people starting out in
life because you are dealing with
facts and people you know. OF
conrse, these opportunities don't
come to you with the blare OF
trumpets, because such proce-
dure wouldn't deceive you in
things you know about. but the
opportunities are here just the
same. One OF the safest and big
gest profit saving investments
any young couple could make to-
day would be a home. Money
spent that way in fixed values
can always he realized, and the
comfort and happiness derived
therefrom can not he measured
in dollars and cents.
Better decide today to anchor
here and join the ranks of the
homebuilder and tomorrow your
chest Will measure six inches
larger-the possession OF n home
works wonders--try 1t. Our
stock of lumber is complete and
we want to talk 1t over with you.
