New Brick Freight Depot to he
Built,

When the Burlington depot burn
ed in Leon a few months ago the
Leon Commercial Club at once took
the matter of new freight depot up
with the officials of the company in
the hope that they would be able to
induce them to build a substantial
brick depot instead of replacing the
burned structure with frame build
ing. At first their efforts were un-
successful, and Aorders were given to
build frame building at Leon, but
the matter is now settled and Leon
will have a fine brick freight depot,
which will be built the coming
spring. Letters from the Burlington
officials also convey the good news
that the switch tracks in this CITY
will be rearranged and added 10,
the new depot to be built on the site
which is now occupied by the stock
yards. The stock yards will be mov-
ed to the south side of the tracks,
and a city track viii be arranged SO
that teamsters will have access to
cars at all times without being de-
layed and annoyed by having the
cars switched all over the yards and
left in inaccessible places. With the
new passenger depot which was
completed a year ago, the finest in
this part of the state, and fine new
brick freight depot, the Burlington
yards will be scene of beauty

RAYMOND Hurst is Picked as Star
Player.

Raymond (Buck) Hurst, of this
city, is picked by the sporting editors
as the star quarterback and captain
of the "all-star football eleven of the
Missouri Valley. The sports writer
in the Register and Leader has the
following to say of him:
Hurst of Ames is easily the choice
for the quarterback job and is also
given the captaincy. His experience
makes him a capable field manager.
He is cool, runs a team with preci-
sion and but rarely fumbles. He is
sensa tional player running back
'punts and was particularly valuable
to his team in that respect this year,
neutralizing the advantage of super
ior opposing kickers by dashes of
from fifteen to forty yards through
hostile tacklers. His work in that
department was brought to climax
in the Drake game when he dashed
seventy yards through the entire
team for a touchdown. McWilliams
of Missouri is his closest rival for
the hUnOrS.

Circulate Petition.

On election day petitions OF con-
sent were circulated in Winneshiek,
Woodbury. and Lynn counties. It
seems that the liberal interests stole
a march on the "drys' and in two
counties at least it is claimed that
the necessary sixty five per cent TO
establish saloons has been secured.
This is just the beginning of the
fight, however. The "drys' caught
mapping, are now up in arms.
Money is being raised, attorneys Sc
cured and if last year is any criter-
icn, months will elapse and thous-
ands of dollars will he expended be-
tore the final outcome lis settled.
This drain on the counties does not
include the strife and turmoil that
will be engendered, and the bitter
personal feelings that will result.
If the ballot instead of the petit
ton decided this question 1t would
now be settled. With the ballot one
day is sufficient for the electorate to
express an opinion and when this Is
secured the result is final.
1t is a poor recommendation Tor
the petition of consent system when
it takes months to decide simple
question in a county when by the
ballot we decide an election not all
over the state but all over the
United States in day.
There is this to add: That when
such expression is secured by the
ballot it is the honest desire OF the
voters; when it is secured by the
petition system in many cases 1T is
the result of coercion and intimida-
ti0n n-AdVertiSpment

Champion Corn Huskers.

Pete Vaughn, lessee of the Bel
lows farm, over in Decatur county,
has three sons who shine as corn
huskers, and he challenges any three
corn ;huskers in Decatur county or
Wayne county to beat them in a
contest. One of them shucked lSO
bushels one day last week, hauling
the corn half mile and unloadins
it himself, and the others of the
trio are said to be just as good

That may be counted a big husk-
ing record down about Lineville,
but up here at Leon it is nothing
compared with the worlds record
which was made on Wednesday Nov.
9th, by James H. Alldredge on his
farm five miles north of Leon, when
he husked 2S2 bushels and IS
pounds of corn in 9 hours and 35
minutes

NIcGinnis New Captain.

Ralph McGinnis, of Leon, was sig
nally honored at Iowa City last
week when he was elected captain
of the State University football
eleven for the year 1913 by unani-
nous vote. He was also one OF the
fourteen University men who were
this year awarded the highly covet-
ed "l'' which is given in recognition
of notable services ON the gridiron.
Ralph participated in all the games
played by Iowa this year, and
sporting writer's ON all the papers
credit him with being the best full
back in the western conference.
The Iowa Cit, Daily Press speaks
thus of his election as captain for
next year:
Ralph Albion McGinnis, of Leon,
Iowa, will lead Iowa's gridiron war
riors to battle-and if his own merit
and that of his good team achieve
their just reward-to victory III
1913.
The Hawkeye squad voted unanl-
mouslv today to make the star full
back, captain for the coming season.
He is sure to make a brilliant
chieftain, and under his guidance
the men of 1913, will certainly labor
as hard and earnestly and devotedly,
to accomplish big things on the
whitewashed backgrounds OF Iowa
field and elsewhere, as they DID
under the great Hanson.
McGinnis, himself, is a splendid
PLAYER. He has mastered the art OF
the gridiron as thoroughly and ad-
mirab1y as any fullback who has set
foot on Iowa field in many year.
He is a magnificent line-bucker, and
has been used by Iowa again and
again and again, throughout every
game, during the season of 1912.
He is a sure plunger, ball-carrier
and ground gamer, and the needed
yard or yards for touchdown have
been contributed repeatedly by this
good scout"--a fullback second tC
few, if any, in the western confer
ence.
Aside from his genius in the game
his ability to cover territory; his
speed, weight, power, and certainty;
when the pigskin is tucked under
his arm, and pressed close to his
loyal heart; he has a delightfully."-
winning personality that makes fol
popularity. among his fellow players
as we'll as the general public.
The election of Ralph A McGln-
mis-. Iowa's greatest fullback, and the
all-western fullback of 1913, fore

OsceOla Will Drill Deep Well.

Osceola is going to follow the ex-
ample of Leon and Corydon and
drill a deep we'll to secure supply
of water for their waterworks sys-
TEN. When the system was INSTALL
ed a few years ago it was decided to
rely on a reservoir for water, but
this has proven very unsatisfactory,
and the city has been practically
without water for the past year, and
a water famine is now staring them
in the face. The city council has
decided to drill a deep we'll in the
hope of striking the same vein OF
water found at Leon.

A Bunch of Fine Calves.

C. NJ. AXES shipped to Leon Satur-
day morning what he thinks is the
finest bunch of calves ever brought
to Leon. There were Sc head of
them, all White Faces and were pur-
chased in the vicinity of Pleasanton
and Saline. Among the bunch were
twenty head of calves which were
bought from John Frisby, of near
Saline, Mo-, for which he paid $50
per head. Mr. Axes will have these
calves dehorned and vaccinated and
will feed all of them through the
coming year on his farm near this
crty. Just keep your eye on this
bunch of calves, for they will mature
into the finest bunch Of cattle ever
fed in Decatur county.

Corn Club Awards Prizes.

Last Saturday the Corn Club met
to award the prizes in the acre con-

nUSKfD 282 BUSHELS
James Il. Attdredee, of Leon, is the
Champion Corn nusker OF Iowa
and the United States.

Decatur county can boast of the
worlds champion corn husker, all
records for the world having been
broken last Wednesday when Jas.
II, Alldredge,, the we'll known wrest-
Ter, who has given up the wrestling
game and taken up the pursuit OF
farming, husked 282 bushels and 10
pounds of corn inside of ten hours.
The husking was done on the farm
of Mr.. Alldredge, six miles northeast
sOf Leon, and was the result OF a
wager which he made with Mr.. G.
Barnett, local manager of the Royal
Washing Machine Co., of this city
and D. HART, one of his statesmen,
who wagered a SIS washing machine
with Mr.. Alldredge that he could not
,husk 200 bushels of corn in ten
hours, the agreement, being that the
washing machine men were to drive
the teams, haul the corn to the scales
sand unload it in the crib. Mr.. All
,dredge started husking at five min
iutes before seven o'clock, and al
though the morning was pretty cool,
he wore only his overa1ls and light
undershirt, with no sleeves, but 1t
was not long until he was perspirlng
like harvest hand in July, and he
kept it up all day. There was con-
tinuous stream of ears of corn flying
through the air to the wagon and
Barnett and Hartt did the biggest
days work they ever did in their
lives, for they had to unload sixteen
wagon loads of corn. The corn was
weighed on the scales at Rue Stones S
farm, so there is no question about
the weights being correct. The NY
ing husker never stopped during the
day except to take drink of water,
and thirty minutes for dinner. The
corn was husked in a field OF corn
which would run from fifty to sixty
bushels to the acre. so that Mr. ALI
dredge husked between five and six
acres, taking one row at time. He
stopped husking a few minutes be-
fore the ten hours was up OIL account
of it being too dark to see the corn.
Mr.. Alldredge is one OF the best
men physically, in the state Of Iowa.
He is "a years of age, weighs 224
pounds, does not use liquor, coffee or
tobacco, and is always in the pink OF
condition. For many years he fol-
lowed wrestling as a profession and
has won many contests on the mat,
having the honor of having twice
put the shoulders of champion Frank
SGotch to the mat.
We believe it will be a long time
before this record of corn husking
will be eQualled, and we do not be-
lieve there is man in the state or
the world who can beat Alldredge in
a contest. If there is, they can get
all the money they want promptly
covered by local admirers of the De-
catur county worlds champion.

The stern hand of death has taken

Decatur county had the greatest
number of Mexican veterans resid-
ing in any one county in the state,
