Mr.. Artie Price of Van Vert who has
charge of the lineup for our county.

The following account of the death

Mrs. Manda S. Waring, 20, resi-
dent of Denver for thirty years, died
yesterday at the home of her son-in-
law, City Detective w. A. Rinker, LAP
Pennsylvania, after an illness Of two
months.
Mrs. Waring came to Denver from
Leon, Iowa. She had been a widow
for nine years and had made her
home with the Rinkers for two years.
Her surviving relatives, in addi-
ton to Mrs. Rinker, are H. R. War
ing, a son, proprietor of the Fort
Morgan Press, Fort Morgan, Colo
RADIO, and Mrs w. H. Wise, a daugh-
ter, of Los Angeles.

A Fine Hereford Bull.

L. w. Montgomery, of Eden town
ship, who has some of the best bred
cattle in Decatur county, came in
Saturday from St. Joe, bringing with
him what good judges pronounce to
be the best Hereford bull ever
brought to Decatur county. Mr..
Montgomery attended the big sale of
registered Herefords held at the St.
Joe stock yards last week, at which
were consigned a number of the best
Herefords from the herds of the lead
ing breeders of Missouri. He bought
fine young animal bred by ]. j..
Early, of Barring, Mo-, which was
calved Jan. 1, 1914, for which he
paid $500. He was showing the bull
on the streets Saturday afternoon
and it attracted considerable atten-
ton from the farmers and others in
terested in fine cattle. We are glad
to see the animal brought to Decatur
county, for it will be splendid ad-
dition to the breeding stock. Each
year our farmers are paying more
and more attention to the breeding
Of good live stock, for they are hnd-1
ing out that it does not pay to raise
scrub stock.

Friday Night.

a "A special meeting of the Leon
commercial Club will be held on
Friday evening of this week to COM
plete arrangements for holding a big
old fashioned picnic at Leon at some
time in the near future. AS Leon will
not celebrate this year, it has been
proposed that big old fashioned
picnic be held here, and plans will
be completed. at the meeting of the
Commercial Club Friday night. It
will be a real picnic, with great big
tables, and every farmer in Decatur
county will be invited to come and
bring his family, and what good
time there will be with great plates
of fried chicken and other delicacies
and chance to meet old friends
from all parts of the county. It is
probable that the famous 111th
Alaskas will take charge of the pro-
gram for the day, and if they do you
can bet your last dollar that there
will be fun and amusement for every
body, for the 111th Alaskas have a
state wide reputation when it comes
to providing good time.

For week ending June IA, 1915.
Des, Moines, Iowa.
Cool, cloudy weather continued
during most of the week with show
ers on three days, which prevented
much field work being done. Con-
siderable corn ground is not yet
planted and there is much replanting
to be done. The growth of corn
that is up and field work are fully
two weeks behind the average of last
year. Fields on bottom grounds are
getting grassy and some Of them, It
not cultivated soon, will be lost; yet,
with two or three. days of clear, dry
ing weather the condition will be
entirely changed for the better. Pas
lures and meadows have continued
to improve and are in good condition
considering the drouth that prevail
ed in april and the first half Of May.
Small grain is generally in good con-
dition, but Hessian fly is still active
in some of the southern counties and
the straw is getting too rank in many
localities. Oats and rye are heading

Clover is good and will be ready to
cut within week. Cherry harvest
has begun in the southern counties
with fair yield.

LEON LEADS"
A Slogan Adopted Which Means
What 1t Says.

At the regular meeting of the
Commercial Club held last Friday
night slogan for Leon was adopted
by unanimous vote. At a previous
meeting of the Commercial Club a
committee was appointed to select a
slogan for the best town In southern
Iowa, and when the committee ap-
pointed to report on slogan report
ed last Friday night with a large
number of slogans, by common ac-
cord the slogan proposed by an
anonymous person, sent through the
mail to secretary G.. B. Price, was
adopted, and Leon Leads" Is des-
pleased was the Commercial Club
with the new slogan that it was de-
cided to place it over every road
leading into Leon and a contract has
already been let for big electric
lighted sign, 12xS0 feet which will
be erected at the Leon depot, and
later similar signs will be placed at
various roads leading into this city.
And the slogan adopted will be no
idle assertion, for Leon has Justly
earned it. This city was the first of
the smaller towns to install an cleo
trio light system 1t has set pace
for other southern Iowa towns in the
way of providing paving and sewer
age, and in various other matters has
led the procession. Leon is on the
map. We have the best Commercial
Club, the best business men, and the
best citizen following of any town in
southern Iowa. Just keep your eye
on Leon and the new slogan, Leon
Leads You'll be hearing from it.
