national advertising this month.
When they held their big opening Of

The manufacturers of the fountain.
the Observation-Disclosures Co.,, of
Cleveland, Ohio, secured these photos
and have written Bell & Robinson
that they are using them this month
in full page advertisements which.
will be inserted in five trade journals
with big circulations, The Soda FOun-
tain, The Southern Pharmaceutical.

Handled a Million and a Quarter
Dollars.

But few people realize the i'm
mense sums of money which pass
through the hands of the treasurer
of Decatur county each year. Mr.. w.
G. Cozad who retired from the treas
urer's Office the first of the year, af-
ter serving four years as county
treasurer, kept an accurate account
of all the monies which passed
through his hands during his four
years and when he figured them up
they were surprise even to him,
/ for the total amount which he had
handled was $1,285,515.10, and
when he turned the Office over to his
successor, treasurer Elba Shewmak-
ser the cash account was found to be
correct to q cent, every penny Of this
vast sum, more than, q mil lli0ns and q
.ennYtef sSsssssasFa wing been account
"a for That ID more money than
Uncle Bill expects to handle during
all the balance of his life, for the
first OF March it will be back to the
old home farm down in Morgan town
ship, and a whole lot of their old
neighbors down there will be mighty
glad to welcome Mr.. and Mrs. Cozad
back to the home where they lived
for so many years. City life has not
spoiled thcm bit, or caused them to
lose interest in farm life. But when
ever they come to Leon they. will find
many friends here who will be glad
to see them.

LEON GOSPEL TEAM CONDUCTS
SERVICES.
tTwenty.One Men Came From Leon
and Held Services at Meth.
4 Otlist Church.

The service at the Methodist
church last Sunday evening was diff
Eferent from any ever held there be-
fore. The people had learned that the
Leon Gospel Team would have
charge of the meeting. The pastor
had promised that he would say
nothing but would turn the men
loose. Whether it was out of Curl
Osity to see what the men could do
or because of the relief promised by
the silence of the pastor it might not
be we'll to say, but at any rate there
was present the largest congregation
that has assembled in the church on
any Sunday in many months.
Twenty-One men had come down
from Leon, and they occupied seats
in the choir loft Prof. o. M. Gass,
the leader of the team, was in charge
of the meeting. Each one of the men
in turn rose and stated in a few
words his desire to serve Christ and
his enjoyment of working for Him.
A sextette rendered two special selec-
tions during the evening. So sincere
were the words of the men and SO
evidently in enthusiastic were they
over their work that when Prof.
Gass quietly remarked, "Now, all
you men that want to belong to
Gospel Team here in Mt. Ayr come
down here" twenty-one men re-
sponded and came down to the front
while the Leon visitors hung over the
choir rail and applauded the volun-
teers.
Then standing before the assembly
the new recruits with unified right
hands took the vow, "I'll never
finch, and were given the prayer,
20, Lord send a revival, and may it
begin in me- R. G. Smith was elect
ed leader of the team and the first
piece of work assigned was that the
team should have charge of the
regular prayer meeting Thursday ev-
ening after which a promise to plan
to be in attendance at that meeting
was secured from SO many of the
congregation that the prayer meet
ing this week threatens to overflow
it's usual boundaries.
Since the organization of the team
others have said that they want to
become members and the recruiting
station will probably be opened again
in the near future. Meanwhile, keep
your eye on that prayer meeting!-

It's A Real Boy.

There was considerable confusion
at the Burlington depot Thursday
morning when operator Earl Epper-
ley in charge of the first trick failed
to show up to handle the early morn
ing passenger trains. A messenger
was dispatched to his home to see
what was the matter, and found Earl
all right, but he sent word back to
tell the dispatcher he would have to
get some one else to take train or
ders that day for he was too busy
taking care of the new boy which ar
rived at their home that morning,
and a little thing like running the
Burlington passenger trains, was q
too every day occurrence for him.,
when it was the first time he had
ever been q papa. But he managed to
report for duty all o. K. the next
morning.

Another Farm House Burned.

The two story farm residence on
the farm of Capt. j. D. Brown, two
miles north of Leon, was totally de-
stroyed by fire shortly after noon
last Thursday. The farm is occupi-
ed by John Myers, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Myers had been to Leon and when
they drove into the yard Mrs. Myers
noticed smoke coming out of the
roof. Several of their small children
were in the house and Mr.. Myers ran
into the house and found the whole
upstairs was on fire, the fire having
started from a stove pipe which went
through one of the floors. They sue
ceeded in getting part of their
household goods downstairs out, but
lost everything which was upstairs.
Capt. Browns loss on the house will
be 81, 500 to $4,000 and he had only
$500 insurance. Mr.. Myers will have
quite loss and had some insurance
on his household goods.

GREAT TENOR COMING TO DEs
MONIES.
Join Mccormack, the Celebrated
Irish Tenor, Will Appear in Com
cert at Des MOines Coliseum
Monday, Jan. 25th.

The coming appearance of John
Mccormack, the great Irish tenor in
concert at the Coliseum in Des
Moines on the evening, OF. Monday,
January 25th, under the manage
ment of DR.. M. L. Bartlett, of Des
Moines, is attracting attention all
over the state of Iowa, and several
music lovers from Leon will attend
the concert. The concert will begin
promptly at 8:15 o'clock and be-
over about 1920. Seats are now on
sale with prices ranging $500, $3.50,
800 and as low as so cents, SO that
none who desire need miss hearing
Mr.. Mccormack. Orders for reserv-
ed seats should be sent to DR.. M. L.
Bartlett, 1928 18th street, Des
Moines, Iowa, and they will receive
prompt attention. The present con-
cert tour is great financial success,
hundreds being turned away in many
Of the larger cities, unable to gain
admittance.
He is being given the greatest
praise by the music critics in each
city where he appears. Here is just
one of them:
John Mccormack sang at the
Academy of Music last evening. Hun
dreds were turned away. Mr.. McCor-
mack did more than stand and sing.
with his head thrown back and a
smiling or serious face, to the th0us-
ands- who applauded to the echo. He
was bringing to life the Irish min
strel who smote his harp and sang
his heart out.
Even when he sang Mascagni's
Romanza, in Italian; Hugo Wolfs.
Secrecy" or Sinding's "Sylvelin,''
the Celtic strain was the passionate
warp and woof of the singing, and
the cry of Ireland's anguish and a
national hope defeated rang out in
the song of Rachmaninoff, meant to
be the heaven-storming cry of the
oppressed of Russia. The technique
of Mr.. McCormack's performance is
not to be considered apart from the
Irish spirit that was in all and
through all he did. Only an Irish
man to the core of his being could
have broken the syllables so success
fully into the quaint, blithe turns and
flourishes that adorned old Erin's
balladry.
Since Mccormack quilted opera
LOT tue CONCERT stage, WHICH Is Iar
more congenial to his temperament.
his voice has gained in all ways.
There has been no declination of his
rare skill in holding an exquisite
pianissimo, which does not suffer in
quality when translat into 8 fa1set-
to- III narrative deciamatio lion, such
as that OF the Skibbereen ballad OF
the famine years. with the impas-
stoned patriotic appeal, Mr.. McCor-
mack is at his best. Every syllable
was clearly chiseled and could be
heard to the farthest corner Of the
house. When a singer carries all be-
fore him as Mccormack did last
night the impression left is the
haunting loveliness and the human
appeal of such singing Philadelphia

WAR TAX STAMPS ON REAL
PROPERTY CONVEYANCES.
Regulations Governing the Placing Of
Stamps Issued by COmmis.
siOner Osborn.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Regulations
to govern the placing of stamps on
conveyances of real property in pay
ment of the war tax, were issued to.
night by Commissioner of internal
Revenue Osborn. The tax is SO cents
on deeds that amount to over 500
and less than $500, and SO cents ad-
ditional for each $500 or fraction
over $500.
The regulations make it plain that
where the consideration is nominal
or 81 the tax must be computed upon
the actual value of the property con-
veyed, liens deducted and the execu-
tor becomes liable for the penalty If
the proper amount of stamps is not
affixed.
The commissioner announced that
while a register of deeds is not ex-
pected to investigate where he sus-
poets violation of the law, he should
in such case notify the proper rev.
enue collector.
