An Appeal.

The Leon Chautauqua for 1912
will open on next Sunday, August
4. AS the time is now very close
at hand the officers of the Leon
Chautauqua association desire to
make personal appeal to all friends
of the movement in this vicinity to
cooperate with them in making this
the best session of all and in secur-
ing another for next year.
We all remember with very great
played at the close of the Chautau-
qua last year. The splendid sup
port given us at that time is what
made it possible to hold session
this year.
We feel that this work is worthy
of our best efforts. 1t is valuable
asset for any town to be known as
a Chautauqua town. Our support
must come from the friends of the
movement, people who enjoy the
kind of entertainment furnished.
Reports already received here from
points where our program has been
indicate that the literary part is of
a very high order equal in all and in
some respects better than last year.
Those who signed pledges for, tickets
can secure them from the secretary,
Mr.. E. G.. Monroe at the Exchange
National Bank and secure credit for
same.
Now friends, we hope you give
us liberal patronage and thereby
make the Chautauqua a permanent
fixture in Leon.

at Roleke's park with picnic din

fortunate in having such a public
spirited citizen as Mr.. Herman
Roleke. He has tract of ten acres
which he has worked on for many
years, planting trees and shrubbery,
installing fountains, has nuilt a Neat
little summer theatre, with shadk
walks and cool retreats. The park
is arranged so that their Chautau-
qua is held there, there is ball
park, rifle range and other attrac-
tions, and it is one of the finest
little parks we ever visited. Mr..

his parents who reside in Bethany.
The trip was made over Golfers
trail to Lamont, and then the Inter-
State trail from Lamont to Bethany,
and it is a fine road.

IOWA HIGHWAYS GUARDED OF
WEEDS.
Attorney General to Start Anti-Weed
Campaign.

Announcement has been made
that Attorney-General Cosson will
start an anti-weed campaign, and a
movement has been undertaken to
compel dilatory township trustees
to enforce the law, requiring the
cutting Of weeds.
1t appears that special counsel
from the attorney-generaps office
will take up cases, where the law is
not being enforced.
The law provides that prosecution
may be extended to the trustees for
failure to see that the weeds along
the highways are cut down.
The particular weeds mentioned
in the law are cockleburrs, Canadian
thistles, buckhorn, quackgrass, wild
parSnipS, horse nettleS, smooth
dock, and burr dock
Any township trustee who does
not look after the weed cutting and
burning may be prosecuted and fined
$fO0. The law provides that pOr-
ton of the road fund may be set
aside by the county trustees to meet
the expense of cutting weeds.
For years without number the
country roads have been allowed to
grow up with all manner of ugly
weeds. In some places they have be-
come so rank at times as almost to
obstruct passage.
The matter finally became such a
serious one that the state legislature
took it up and drafted law which
provided that abuttlng property own
ers must keep the weeds down and
where they do not do so the town.
ship authorities are empowered to do
so and tax the cost to the property.
Regardless of this law, it is said,
farmers and township officers in
some counties have paid but little at
tention with the result that already
this year the weeds in some places
are quite as bad as they have ever
been before.

A Satisfactory Settlement.

+ I have received through Pease &
Pease the local agents of the Farm
ers Insurance Co., of Cedar Rapids,
draft covering the loss on my house
and contents, $500 on the house and
$40O on the contents. Although the
loss occurred two months ago, the
payment was delayed by reason that
my deed was not on record, which
caused some trouble, although the
company was ready to pay the loss
as quick as the matter could be
Strengthened out. Their settlement
with me was entirely satisfactory in
every way, and I can cheerfully rec
ommend the company and their local
agents, Pease & Pease, to all my
friends if they desire to receive fair
and square treatment and prompt
settlement in case of loss.

There was another big balloon

In addition to this either Senator
