Davis City Enlarges Town Limits.

Monday a special election was held
for the purpose of enlarging the cor
poration lines. At this election there
were cast seventy-three votes, Sc OF
these were in favor while II were
against it. Seventeen was the num-
Der of votes that were taken in by
the new lines.
The vote would indicate that those
in the new territory were against it
but such was not the case. A num-
Der living in the corporated town vot-
ed against it because they thought
the line ought to have extended a
quarter of a mile further east and
another south.
Time will tell whether or not they
should have been extended but let
us hope they may have to be extend
ed within the year.

CAN LEASE RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-
WAY.
Burlington Will Give Indefinite
Rent on Land to Adjacent
Property Owner-Charges
Only One Fee of So.

The Burlington railway is in earn
est about this alfalfa thing. 1t not
only has sent out it's alfalfa specials
to spread the gospel but now it is
offering to lease it's right-of-way to
enterprising farmers who will grow
alfalfa thereon
The company does not charge any
rental, in the ordinary sense, but
asks a fee of SIS for drawing the
lease which would run Indefinitely,
making the one fee all that was
necessary for whatever term the
lease might continue.
1t has been figured out that a
farmer who owns forty acres OF land
along the railroad would add about
two acres to his ground counting the
right-of-way as being 100 feet wide,
and two-thirds of it available for the
crop. This would be pretty cheap
rental at IS for an indefinite posses
sion.
Here is the proposition as the road
puts it:
"On some of the divisions farmers
have asked for lease Of right-of-way
for the purpose of growing alfalfa.
1t has been decided that where we
have a righ,-of-way that can be
spared, such right-of-way will be
leased to farmers if they so desire.
eff the land owner abutting our
right-of-Way will utilize it, it will be
much better than to have other own
ers tapping over, but in the event
that the right-of-way cannot be
leased to the adjacent owner, then
any farmer who will lease the land
under the conditions we prescribe
should be allowed to take it, with
due respect as to the right of the
abutting owner for private crossings
and to keep all gates closed and the
usual and proper protection of the
right-of-Way where is is used for any
purpose.
"For the lease of such ground
charge of SIS will be made. This IS
is not a compensation for the land,
but is merely payment for making
the lease. The lease can be made to
run Indefinitely with termination
clause, and there will be only one
charge of SIS at the time the papers
are fixed up"

Meetings will begin at the M. E.
church, Dec. %, conducted by Evan
gelist #. 2. Davis, Of Farmer City,
Illinois. Mr. Davis presents his SER
mons in parallels, which is such a
new and different way, that it sounds
like brand new gospel. He will be
assisted by Prof. Phillip e. Baer, of
Washington, D. G. Prof. Baer fin
ished his vocal training in Milan,
Italy, with one of the worlds first
masters in vocal arts, and has since
sung over the entire continent. In
the great cities where Prof Baer has
sung he has been regarded a second
Caruso by some, while others claim
ed that his singing was superior to
that of Caruso. Don't fail to attend
these meetings nightly. Remember
the date, December %, at the M. E.
church, Decatur, Iowa.

Large Crowds Hear DR.. Stewart.

Dr. Wentworth F. Stewart arrived
from New England last Thursday
noon and held that evening in the
Methodist church the first in the
series of special services under the
auspices of the Baptist and Metho-
dist churches of Leon The audience
which completely filled the main
auditorium, at once recognized in
DR.. Stewart a man OF unusual
strength of personality and of re-
markable pulpit ability. Many were
heard to say "He is the greatest
evangelist ever in Leon The con-
gregation was more than pleased
with the services, and left determin-
ed to return at every opportunity for
the instruction and inspiration the
services give.
The Friday nights audience was
equally as large as that of the pre-
ceding night, even though there were
other attractions in town. 1t was
young Peoples" night. The SUBJ
ject was Living at Ones Best" The
address Saturday evening was on
"Why l Am Not an Infidep' was
logical and clear, and given in con-
vincing, masterful way.
On Sunday DR.. Stewart spoke at
four different services. The heavy
fog did not keep the scholars away
from Sunday school; and during the
time of the lesson period the school
listened to talk on Seek Ye First
the Kingdom of Cod The theme
was Putting First Things First
From three to four in the after
noon a meeting for men only was
held at the court house, attended by
$50 men. Next Sunday at the same
hour, and probably at the same
place, a similar meeting for men will
be conducted. DR.. Stewart has a mes
sage for every man.
Before the time for the evening
service at the Methodist church to
begin every seat and chair in the
house was filled and people were be-
ing turned away. All possible will
be done to accommodate those who
will come next Sabbath. There is
some thought of securing the opera
house for that service il, the weather
should be pleasant.
Tuesday morning DR.. Stewart
talked to the High School at their
chapel exercises. In the afternoon
he addressed gathering of women
at the Methodist church in spec
ial women's meeting at 3:45, the
hour being placed late in the after
noon to accommodate the teachers in
the public schools.
4 A combination meeting of the
County Teachers Institute and the
special services has been arranged
for next Friday evening. This will
be a most interesting meeting. The
lecture by DR.. Stewart will be help
full to all, and particularly SO to the
teachers of the county. Come early.
Bear in mind that this series of
meetings closes at Christmas time.
They cannot run longer under DR..
Stewart s leadership, as he must
again be in the east to meet engage
ments there. The time for you and
your friends to receive benefit from
these services is now. A meeting is
held every evening at seven-thirty
in the Methodist church. Don't
miss single opportunity of hearing
"a man who brings the truth in so
clear, wholesome, and reasonable a
way. This opportunity will not be
,surs as community again.

The cost of living. at least for most

adequate plants requires capital in such
