A Buick Does Some Hill Climbing.

There was another demonstration
of what the Buick autos will do in
the way of hill climbing up by Gar
den Grove Tuesday afternoon, when
Earl Axes, who demonstrates for
Axes & Pullen, the Leon auto deal
ers, drove a Buick car right out OF
the stock room up the Davis hill,
west of Garden Grove, with six pas
sengers in the car. This hill is the
worst hill in that part of the coun-
try and many autos are unable to
20 up it. Earl drove the car up to
the steepest part of the hill, stopped
it dead still, then started up and
easily pulled to the top. He also
climbed the hill on high. A number
of other cars were at the hill, but
after seeing what Buick 81 could
do, Mr.. c. D. Nighswonger, OF
Franklin township, a prospective
purchaser, wrote his check for the
car, being convinced it was the best
car for the money of any he had
seen. When it comes to hill climb
ing and other stunts the Buick is
right there with the goods and Earl
Axes is the boy who knows how to
handle them.

Decatur City Band Stand.

There is much indignation at De-
catur City over an act which was per-
petrated last Friday night, when
dynamite was placed under the band
stand in the park and the structure
was badly damaged. 1t is reported to
US that party of fellows from Leon
were over on Grand River Friday
night near the home Of Dick Lee and
dynamited Grand River, killing a
large number of fish. The same night
the band stand was blown up at Deca-
tur City. The matter of dynamiting
in Grand River has been reported to
the state game warden and he is
coming to Leon in a few days to
make an official investigation and if
evidence can be secured, vigorous
prosecution will follow. The matter
of blowing up the band stand is being
investigated by county attorney
Sharp, and it is probable that the
guilty parties will have to answer in
court for their fun.

Protect the weeds?

That is easy. Just let them alone
and they will protect themselves, es.
pecially in the streets and alleys that
border your property and as they
mature in the heat of summer, lend
ing a similar effect to the mind as
that produced by viewing the sur
rounding verdure of neglected hog
pen. believe the intention of our cit
izens is that the above shall not occur
as the laws of our state prescribe it,
and as every property owner or rent
er is responsible for the destruction
of all weeds that grow on one half
of the streets and alleys that border
his or her property, now is the time
to start keeping them down.
Nuisance ON Streets and Alleys.
believe some of our citizens, who
have built manure piles upon the
streets and alleys of our city, and are
still at it think our former notice re-
garding their removal, was a joke.
Take it from me now that such is
not the case and from now on each
offender will be duly notified and
dealt with in accordance with ordi-
nance No. IA of the City of Leon,
Iowa.
DO You Love Your Dog?
