LEON BOY IN DEERE CONCERN.
Charles Mitchell, q Former Leon Boy
has Good Position With Big
.- Moline PlOW Concern.

The following dispatch from Abba
tells of the rise in the business
world of Charles Mitchell, a former
Leon boy, son of Mr.. and Mrs. R. /.
Mitchell, who moved to Abba
from this city few years ago, where
Charles engaged with his father in
the implement business:
Abba, Iowa, June 17.-When the
John Deere Plow Company, of Mo-
line, ILL.,, was reorganized this spring
with a capital of $5O,000,000 it
wasn't supposed that an Albian
would get a look in at the big con-
cern. But when an Abba boy goes
up against the outside world and is
making good you can bet your last
nickle that some Of the representa-
tives of the big corporations have
their eyes on that lad and will call
him at the proper time. That's the
history of many an Abba boy, and
history will 60 repeating itself until
the end of time.
Charles Mitchell, formerly of this
piace, but who has been on the road
for the past year in the interest of
the John Deere Plow company, has
been appointed first assistant to j..
F"Jones, sales manager of the John
Deere Plow company, of Moline, Ill.
1t is a fine position and Charley's
friends in Abba and Monroe county
will join in congratulations and hope
to hear OF his climbing to the top of
the ladder before he quits the plow
business.

Recording Farm Names.

In view of the fact that the law
for the registering of farm names In
the recorders Office is a new one,
people in general do not understand
it, will say for the benefit of such
that the applicant must make appli-
cation on blank furnished by the
recorder and sworn to before no.
tary, or justice of the peace and filed
in the recorders Office the same as
deed or mortgage. Upon recording
the applications the recorder issues a
certificate to the applicant which
sets forth the name, etc., and which
gives him a monopoly on the name
he has chosen. The law goes into
effect july 4th, next, Applications
may be received at any time, but the
certificate will not be issued until
after that date. However your name
will be protected from the filing of
the legal application, provided that
no similar name has been filed or re-
corded. I am glad to note that a,
good many farmers are taking an in
terest and naming their farms. L
think there is nothing that will do
more to advertise the county with,
the same amount of outlay that nam.
ing your farms. Please remember!
the filing fee is $1.0O.

Report was Exaggerated.

Sundays Register and Leader had
a special telegram from Jewell, Iowa,
in which it was reported that D. c..
Mcdowell, formerly of this city, was
in Jail at. Webster City, having dan
gerously injured one of the men en-
ployed in his gang of the Bell Tele-
phone Co. linemen, by striking him
over the head with a hammer, but
the man injured was not hurt as bad
as reported and instead of being in
jail Doss returned to this city Tues
day. The. trbuble arose over the
man Louder refusing to take orders
from Mcdowell, who was in charge
of the gang of workmen, and upon
his refusing to work as directed Nc
Dowell told hina to go to the hotel
and wait until the return of the fore
man who had taken a part Of the
gang and gone to the country to do
some work, leaving the balance in
charge of Mcdowell. Louder be-
came obstreperous and was ! inter-
fering with the work, and threaten
ed Mcdowell, who is small man.
Thinking he was going to be attack
ed and beaten Doss struck him with,
a hammer he had in his hand, and
knocked him down, but he was not
seriously injured. ~.5 -.. :

A Bank With q Record.

From the report of the condition
of the First National Bank, of Gar
den Grove, at the close of business
on June 7th, when the comptroller
of currency made call on all nation
al banks for a financial statement,
we notice that while the bank has
capital of only $4,000, it has a
surplus fund of $4,000, and in ad-
dition has undivided profits amount
ing to $79,0S0,75, making a total of
$104,08O,75 surplus and undivided
profits, over four times the amount
of capital stock. That is the bank
known as Squire Stearn's bank, and
it stands at the head of the list of all
the national banks in the United
States, as having the greatest assets
as compared with it's capital stock.
Squire evidently does not need any
of the profits of his bank, but we
wish he would cut it up and give us
a little slice, say enough to buy an
auto or some small trinket like that.
