The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1916-10-05

H. r. Stanley, of Lamont, was in
Leon Monday enroute home from De-
catur City. where he was called to
see his mother, Mrs. e. j. Stanley,
who was quite seriously injured q
few days previous by falling from a
chair at her home, but is somewhat
better at this time.
Miss Esther Henry, who had been
visiting at the home of her sister,
Mrs. VIM. Langreder, in this city, re-
turned to Chicago Monday morning
to resume her work as nurse in
training at a hospital in that city.
Mrs. Langreder and Miss Irene Hem
ry accompanied her as far as Osceola.
Mrs. G. A. Evans and baby depart
ed Tuesday morning for Cheyenne,
Wyoming, where they will make
their future home, Mr.. Evans having
gone there several weeks ago to ac-
cept a position in big bakery. They
have many friends here who are sor-
ry to see them leave Leon.
Emmett c. Cowles, of near Pleasan-
ton, had business in this city last
Wednesday, and spent a pleasant
hour at The Reporter Office watching
the big press, folder and other ma
chinery in operation. He said he had
no idea there was so much work

Mrs. e. B. Clark, of Kirksville,

Friday for Ration, New Mexico, where
she will spend the winter with her
daughter, DR.. Nan Gilmore.

Friday in Leon visiting with old time
friends and looking after business

the past few years have been few and
far between.
John Axes, the we'll known piano
salesman, went to Abba Tuesday to
make arrangements to move his fam
lily to that city, where they will make

at home. Mr.. Axes is fine sales
man and he and his family have
many friends in this city who are
sorry to lose them as citizens of Leon.

BRYAN COUNTY HAD ICE LAST
SATURDAY NIGHT

Much anxiety was occasioned in
all portions of the county Sunday
morning, when 1t was found that
there had been a slight freeze dur
ing the preceding night. Fears were
entertained for a day or two that
both fruit and vegetables had been
badly damaged. County Farm Ag-
ent Fash states that from observa-
tions he has had opportunity to
make there has been little II indeed
any damage done to either the fruit
or gardens. He also. states that IN his
opinion the corn was not hurt, ex-
cept in the low spots, and there only
retardipg the growth. Some gardens
having early beans were probably
hurt, but otherwise the damage is
only nominal,

TODAY IS "RIRn nAYn

Conforming to the proclamation Of
Governor Williams, today (Friday)
is being generally observed by the
public schools of the State as Bird
Day" Appropriate exercises, includ-
ing as their chief feature addresses
by the teachers, and papers by the
pupils, on the useful birds-the ones
that destroy insects, and are other
wise useful and harmless. Many a
boy is being told today why he should
not use his air gun or sling-shot too
and no doubt many
of the youngsters will hear things
about our birds that they have never
learned before. 1t will be a good
thing If the minds of the children by
this means can be brought to realize
how cruel and unnecessary is some Of

Bryan for Rule or Ruin - William
jennings Bryan formally launched
his candidacy last week for delegate
to the Democratic National Conven-
tion from his home State. Nebraska.
Bryan is espOusing a platform which
favors the amendment to the State
constitution prohibiting the sale or
manufacture of liquors, and is said
to insist that all delegates shall be
in favor of this policy. He also car
ries the fight into the contest for all
offices in the State, and dictates that
all must be with him on this subject
in order to have the w. ]. B. o. k.

will be one of the most bitter ever

amendment are antagonizing Bryan
because of his arbitrary and dicta-

No Designs on U. s. - German
Minister of Foreign Affairs Herr Won
Jagow, in recent speech, termed as
malicious and untrue a statement at
tributed to a member of the Canadian
parliament that Germany had views
to obtaining a foothold on the west
ern continent. He vehemently de-
MES that any such idea has ever been
considered in connection with the
future plans of Germany, and espec-
tally denounces those rumors that
attribute to Germany a desire for re-
venge upon this country after the
great war shall have been concluded.
He admits that bitter feelings have
at times existed in his country owing
to the attitude of this country on
various questions of moment, at
time when the whole thought of the
German people was of the preserva-
tion of their national honor and their
national liberty; and says these out
breaks were naturally resultant of
patriotism that could brook no In
terference or obstacle which for a
moment impeded in the slightest de-
gree their hopes and expectations
that such feelings on the part of the
populace were but natural-the iden-
teal sentiments Americans wauld ex-
perience we're they at war and their
plans in any measure interfered with
