John +, Hurst Married.

Mr.. John F. Hurst, formerly of
this city was married to Miss Ethel
Dalrymple at Chicago on last Fri
day.
John is an old Leon boy, born and
raised in this city where he has a
host of friends After graduating
from the Leon High School he at
tended the State University at Iowa
as an athlete, winning many victor
les for Iowa on the base ball field.
For couple of years he played pro-
fessional base ball and then settled
down as an advertising expert, in
which line he has made good and is
now rated as one of the best adver-,
tisjng writer's in America, being con-
nected with the big advertising
agency of Lord & Thomas, of Chi
cago, engaged in writing advertise
ments for advertisers who use the
Saturday Evening Post and other
high class publications, many of the
full page advertisements in the Sat
urday Evening Post being written by
him. While he has been located for
several years in Chicago, he still re-
tains his interest in the old home
town, being the Junior member OF
the dry goods firm of ]. w. Hurst
& 60. He is young man of whom
all Leon is proud and his many
friends in this city will extend their
hearty congratulations on his mar
riage. r.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hurst are enjoying
their honeymoon in cottage in the
big woods of northern Michigan,
where they will spend few weeks
before taking up their residence in
Chicago.
The bride is a total stranger to ms,
but the fact that she was picked
from all the girls in Chicago, coupled
with Johns good judgment is an as
surance that she is ''the girl. "s#3e
Mr.. and Mrs. Hurst are expected
here for a few days visit in the early
fall, and they will be given cordial
welcome

Trouble With GyDsies.

Several of those dirty packs OF
rowing gypsies have been in this vi
cinity the past few days and they are
causing lot of trouble. On Monday
word was received that two of the
women who tell fortunes and beg
around, had beaten Mrs. A. A. Snow,
of southeast of Leon, out of $1O.5O
in making change, so county attor-
ney Sharp rounded the bunch up
and filed an information against
them charging petit larceny The
outfit were taken before justice War
ford and by agreement were allowed
ttsS.-ltead7 guilty and paid small fine
and costs and returned the money
taken from Mrs. Snow. Tuesday a
second bunch was arrested over near
Decatur City, on complaint of Frank
Sutherlin, who says that while driv-
ing along the road he encountered
the gypsies and one of the women
grabbed his team and stopped it and
wanted to tell his fortune. He said
he did not want his fortune told, but
wanted to avoid trouble, and told
the woman he would give her quar-
ter. He took his pocketbook out to
get the quarter when the woman
snatched the purse which contained
$500. officers rounded up the
bunch and brought them to Leon
and after a clever scheme of switch
in&n one woman for another, one of
the men and a woman were placed in
Jail, and their trial was to be held
before justice Warford yesterday af-
ternoon. These bands of gypsies
should not be tolerated in any CON-
munity. They should be run clear
out of the country and kept out. 1t
is said there is quite a lot of them
and that they divide up and travel
over different roads and then meet
at a given point.

Bakery Business Increasing.

The business of the Leon Home
Bakery in this city is growing by
leaps and bounds and it keeps Guy
Stark, the proprietor, mighty busy
in caring for his trade. The bakery
is now turning out an average of
1900 loaves of bread a day, besides
the buns, cakes and pies. Much OF
the bread is shipped to other towns,
the express wagon being loaded ev-
cry trip to the depot with baskets of
bread from the bakery.
When Mr.. Stark purchased the
bakery a few years ago it was a
small affair, but he has built up a
great business, has installed electric
mixing machines and only last week
installed measuring and tempering
equipment which allows just the
right amount of water to run into
the mixing machine to make the
dought the proper consistency for
the bread.

and Interstate Trail, Sept. % and "a
The trip will be started from Des
Moines Tuesday morning and ended
Wednesday evening. These roads lie
between Des Moines and st. Joseph
Missouri. TE.
H. C. Beard, "a member of the
commission, has made arrangements
for the tour over the Ayr Line. w.
A. Hopkins, of Lamont, is in charge
of the tour over the Interstate Trail
Its a show me- trip Mr.. Beard
said. Il have told the other mem
bers of the commission that the best
dirt roads in the state are in the
southern part. This tour of inspec-
ton to be made will convince them
that l know what j am talking about
and also give them a notion OF how
to go about building roads in Ring
gold and some OF the southern coun-
ties"
The schedule which Mr.. Beard has
prepared for the trip from Des
Moines to Mt. Ayr is:
Leave Des Moines from Savery
hotel at 8 o'clock, Bonneville 8:4o,
Winterset 1915, Macksburg 11:15,
Arispe 2:15, Mt. Ayr 3:15, Redding
4:15, and return to Mt. Ayr at 8
o'clock for the night.
The following morning the party
will leave Mt. Ayr at 1880 o'clock
over the Waubonsie Trail for Lamo-
nj for the return trip over the Inter-
state Trail. Mr. Hopkins has not an
nounced the schedule of the trip
over the road he represents. The re-
turn trip is through Lamont, Davis
City, Leon, Osceola and 1ndianola.
Mr.. Beard said that half dozen Mt.
Ayr motor cars will make the first
day trip out of Des Moines, and 9TH
ers from the towns on the Interstate
will accompany them on the return
trip to Des Moines.
"On this trip the commission will
have an opportunity to see what
kind of results we get in Ringgold
county by offering $3.50 in cash
prizes for the best mile of road" he
said. Cooperation is doing the
road making in southern Iowa and l
am anxious that all the state know
about it. -.5

COLLEGE ON WHEELS.
Latest Innovation of Railroad Co.
., Operation with Farmers.

Choo Choo! Choo Choo! With this
familiar signal instead of school
bell college soon will invade GER
tain districts of Iowa along the Bur-
lington Route. A switch track will
run through it's campus. Its school
room will be portable. Its teach
ings will be free. This new college
will instruct farmers in the proper
methods of apple packing. A COM
plete train, equipped with all accom-
modations for apple packing, lectur-
ing and demonstrating will be oper-
ated by the Burlington Railroad CO.
operating with the Iowa State Agri-
cultural College.
Experts from the Iowa State Col
lege will accompany the train and
give lectures on apple picking, pack
ing, storage, marketing, etc. The
Sulzer bill governing the United
States standard apple barrel and
pack, and the new Iowa state law
governing fruit packages sold in the
state, will be explained.
In the train will be installed an
apple grading machine, packing
tables, picking ladders, picking
sacks, samples of standard barrels
and boxes, box and barrel presses
and packages for fancy packs. The
best method Of sorting grading and
packing apples, in botn boxes and
barrels, will be demonstrated with
Iowa grown apples.
The Importance of such instruc-
ton as this college on wheels will
give, is indicated by the five and one
half million bushel apple crop which,
it is estimated, Iowa will produce
this year. 1t is expected that farm
ers and fruitgrowers throughout the
state of Iowa will attend this i'm
portant event. High school students
should also find this demonstration
interesting and profitable.
If this college on wheels makes it's
appearance in or near your town,
don't fail to attend the free lectures.
Will be at Leon Monday, Septem-
Der 18th, from 2:30 to $3.50 p. m.

Friday, August 29, 1913, A. D.
Remember the date. 1t was a
gala night for Humeston. 1t marked
the change from the era of no lights
to an up-tO-date electric lighted
town. The current was turned on at
eight O'Clock and there was great re-
Joiclng all over the town. The chill
dren made a lot of noise and some of
the older people did, too.
The current for the Humeston
electric lights is furnished by the
Leon Electric Co., of Leon. The
town is we'll equipped with street
lights. There arc As Mazda sixty
candle power incandescents and 4
cluster arcs of 800 candle power
each, we'll distributed about the
town. This is now one Of the best
lighted towns in the state. The SER
vice is excellent.
At special election held on No.
vember 1st the Leon Electric Co. was
voted franchise to light the town
of Humeston. On June 1st the trans
mission line was completed. On July
7th three of the business houses
were furnished with current for
lights and fans.
"A udJOIlLy OIL Cne business houses
are furnished current by the Leon
Electric Co. A number of residences
have been wired for lights.
j. F. Smith and G. A. Havens,
managers and owners of the Leon
Electric Co., are to be commended
for the splendid lights that they are
giving the town. They are certainly
fulfilling their part of the contract.
The gentlemen are practical and sue
cessful light experts. They thorough
ly understand their business and are
making special effort to give the
people of Humeston the very best
service possible. G. C. Cornman,

What About City Scales?

Now that the paving has started
in Leon and practically all of the
wagon scales which are located in
the streets will have to be removed,
there is considerable agitation of the
question of establishing city scales,
as this is the time when it could be
done with the least hardship to own
ers of scales. Many other cities in
southern Iowa have established city
scales and the revenue from the
weighing Of coal, grain and farm pro-
ducts pays all of the expense of main
tanning the scales and the, salary OF
the city weigher. 1t would be q
good thing for Leon If we could have
city scales too.

improvements at the Hurst Store.

The popular store of J. w. Hurst
& Co. is being remodeled this week,
and handsome plate glass show cases
are replacing the old style wooden
counters which have done service in
the Hurst store for many years. The
new cases are combined counters
and display cases, mounted on
marble bases and give the store de-
cided city look. And they will have
just as fine line of goods to be dis
played in the new cases as can be
found in any of the large cities. s,T The
Hurst store has added many new lines
of fine dress goods and novelties not
heretofore carried in this city. The
changes will be great convenience
to their customers as we'll as the
sales people.

Paving is Progressing.

The paving gangs which are at
| work are making good progress, but
Smith Bros, who are in charge or the
work for the Ford Paving Co. tell us
they can use a number OF men as
| we'll as teams on the work, and any
one who wants work can secure it
at Leon. The big concrete mixer is
grinding out the concrete for the
curbs and quite lot of the curbing
has been placed The work Of tear
ing out the old curbing around the
court house park is quite task as
it seems the contractor who built
the curb several years ago used
much better material for the bottom
than the top, but few days more
will see all of the old curb removed
and the new in place. A big force OF
men and teams are grading around
the square and a block north on
Main street, as there is considerable
dirt to be removed. The curbing is
the first thing put in, then the street
is graded and the concrete base will
be laid, and the brick work is the
last thing to be done. 1t will be
several weeks yet before any brick
is laid as the contractors desire to
get the concrete work all in be-
fore cold weather sets in. There is
always big crowd of people stand
ing around watching the worn OF
the paving gang, and the center OF
attraction is a fellow they call me
braska Red who is sure handy
man and fits in everywhere. One
day he is bossing the grading gang,
the next he is running the big con-
crete mixer and then he is at work
putting the finishing touches on the
curbing, and at this work he is an
artist If all the curbs are finished
up as nice as those now in there will
be no complaint about this part of
the work. And Nebraska Red" is
a jolly good fellow, always ready
with a pleasant word and seems to
enjoy doing the hard work. He is
the kind of fellow who will make
good any place.
The rattler machine purchased by
the city to test the paving brick has
arrived and has been set up at the
pump station, where the tests will
be made.
The city council employed Lewis
'Pullin to inspect the mixing of the
concrete and see that the proper pro-
portion of cement is used.
The Smith Bros who have charge
of the work are old hands at the
paving business and know all OF the
details. They appear to be very
agreeable bosses too and thee has
been no trouble with the men en-
plOyed on the work, who are quiet
and orderly lot of fellows.
