The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1916-06-08

Among our family of readers is
one, Peter Hill, residing short dis
lance north of Corning. Pete is a
pretty good Scotchman but in some
manner has been imbued with the
idea that the foreigner pays the tar
iff and when the fellows were telling
about the democrats going to put the
sheep industry out of business it can
not be said that the Corning gentle
man believed it all but he PROBABLY
had some fears that the ground hog
political prophets and fortune tellers
might be right, but he kept right
along in the sheep business Takes
more than these ground hog political
prophets to separate Scotchman
from his sheep. The result is the
progressive republican had 1900
pound clip this spring from his flock
and last week he was offered 33
cents a pound for the same, but he
was not satisfied with the offer.
Brings up the old adage, The eyes
OIL man are never satisfied He said
he was holding it for 80 cents. His
wool was of an extra quality. This
week buyer was out to see Mr.. Hill
about his wool and he stood pat for
35 cents. There was nothing doing
and the buyer returned to Corning.
Later he telephoned to Mr.. Hill and
bought the clip at "a IL cents per
pound Not so bad is it: Sheep in
dustry ruined and wool selling at
3411s cents and mutton sheep at the
top market price, and all that in the
face of the knocking of the political
calamity Notwithstanding Free

100000 IN GOLD.
The st. Louis Republic Offers Prizes
to Stimulate Interest in Great
est Self-NIade American.

In one of the most unique contests
ever inaugurated, the st. Louis Re-
public will give away $4,000 in gold
The contest is called The Ben Frank
lin Quiz AS the name suggests, it
is based upon that greatest of all self
made Americans, who arose TO fame
from such humble surroundings.
Benjamin Franklin achieved world
fame as q scientist, statesman, phil
osopher and writer. His Poor Rich
ards Almanack" once held a place in
the American home second only to
the Bible. 1t is one of the world S
greatest volumes and it instilled in
the young nation the principles of
liberty and right living. Yet today
it has fallen into disuse.
The Republic believes that Poor
Richards Almanack and Benjamin
Franklin should again occupy an i'm
portant place in every American
household, and it is with this purpose
in view that this contest has been
started. With patriotism and Amer
icanism vibrating through the very
air, everyone should know more
about this great American and his
book of Americanisms.
Beginning Saturday, May II, there
will appear each day in the Republic
pictures drawn to represent the prov
cribs of Poor Richard. Prizes will be
awarded to those fitting the proverbs
to the pictures. 1t is so simple that
anyone can take part, yet it offers an
attractive, interesting and instructive
pastime.
The first prize will be $1,000, the
second $500, and the third $50.
There will be LAG other cash prizes
aggregating $3.50. Full details and
four sample photographs will be sent
upon receipt of &c stamp to cover
postage. Address Ben Franklin
