THE DRIFT TO WILSON.

The drift toward Wilson,, noted
and admitted by republican observ-
ers everywhere, is the most signifi-
cant thing in the political situation.
What does it mean? 1t means that
the law of cause and effect is not
dead in politics.
Men of weight and standing in the
community who disagreed sharply
with the presidents position on the
eight hour issue are now publicly an
Mr.. Wilson. Jackson Johnson, chair
man Of the board of the Information
al Shoe Company, is a prominent To-
cal example. Men formerly of the
republican faith are coming over to
support the president because Of
their confidence in his leadership.
President Griffin of the Chicago
Board of Trade may stand as rep
resentative of this class.
The past three years and eight
months have formed a period I'M
matched in American history for leg
islation designed to meet construc-
lively the needs of a modern demo-
cratic society. A new spirit is
abroad. Government in the United
States is facing it's full opportunity.
Instead of the old conception of aid
ing special interests for their own
benefit has come the idea of giving
whatever legislative aid may be nee
essary to help any group Of American
citizens to render the fullest service
to society.
The Federal Reserve law is law
to make banks more useful The
rural credits act is law to make
farming more efficient. The work
mems compensation and child labor
laws are laws to make working peo-
pie stronger and better equipped for
citizenship and service.
The business men of the United
States cannot resist this spirit. They
are not trying to. The are coming to
Wilson and his party by myriads.-
st. Louis Republic.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1916-11-02
WHICH?

Take your choice:
Hughes and four years of agita-
ton, conflict with congress and
doubt in business and industry;
Or Wilson and four years of devel-
opment with congress, of certainty in
business and industry as to govern
mental policies.
The one means probable loss of
our prosperity. The other contains
good assurance of continuing and in
creasing prosperity.
President Wilson is entitled to re-
election; he has earned reward by
good service rendered. Hughes is
not entitled to election; he has not
shown either why Wilson should be
put out or why he should be put in.
Hughes has not even made a good
candidate; Wilson has made a good
president.
Take your choice.

THE DEMOCRATIC COUNTY
TICKET,

The voters of, Decatur county new
er had a better county ticket placed
before them than the democratic
county ticket this year. Every can
didate on the ticket Is worthy of the
support Of both democrats and re-
publicans. They were selected with
view of their fitness to fill the var
ious offices. When it comes to cOun-
ty candidates, you should lay aside
politics and vote for the man or wom-
an whom you honestly believe would
make the best official.
The Leon reporter. (Leon, Iowa) 1887-1930, 1916-11-02

I wish to announce to the voters of
Decatur county that am candidate
on the democratic ticket for the Of
flee of state senator from the 9th
senatorial district composed of
Union, Ringgold and Decatur coun-
ties. I am making an active canvass
of the district but the time is short
and it will be impossible for me to
see you all. l therefore ask every
one to remember my candidacy and
assist me in securing the election.
am meeting with much encourage
ment and wish you would consider
this advertisement as personal So
licitation of your vote and influence.

According to all accounts from the
so-called doubtful states, Mr.. Hughes
is never to have chance in the
presidency to answer the questions
that he has failed to meet as can

problem relating to the identity of

PEACE. PLENTY AND PROGRESS.

President Wilson and the demo-
cratic administration have been true
to the business men of the country.
The new currency system, the tariff
commission act, and the trade COM
mission act are evidence of this.
President Wilson and the demo-
cratic administration have been true
to the farmers of the country. The
farm loan act giving them credit on
reasonable terms and means of OBJ
tanning longtime loans, the good
roads act and the series of laws sta
bilizlng commerce in farm products
and making knowledge of scientific
agriculture available in a practical
way on the farms, are evidence of
this.
President Wilson and the demo-
cratic administration have been true
to the twenty million toilers in the
country. The Clayton act, the anti
Injunction law, the Adamson 8-hour
law and the related laws giving labor
its just due are evidence of this.
President Wilson and the demo-
cratic administration have been true
to all Americans by enforcing a
strictly American policy in foreign
affairs at a time when powerful or
CARNATIONS have sought to sway the
American government to a course
which would have embroiled it in the
war. The fact that he is
by the supporters in this
country both of the allies and of Ger
many are evidence of this.
The result is that America has
that America has peace
and honor; and, by the enactment OF
the many constructive laws in the
record Of achievements, has progress

This has been a very peculiar ma
tional campaign in this part Of the
country, the quietest we have ever
witnessed. There have been no torch
light professions, big political raj
lies, rampant political speeches. The
voters are tired of that kind of cam
paigning. They will quietly vote for
the men whom they believe will best
represent them.

Dogs Cost More.

Another thing, we find that the
dog tax being collected this year
amounts to s193,046.75, while 1t
costs only $90,000.00 to run the
Highway Commission. In other
words, we are paying twice as much
tax for the privilege Of keeping sew
eral thousand useless dogs. AZ Va
are paying for State Highway Com
mission to supervise $13.000.00o.oo
worth Of work.

Worms Sap Your Child's strength

Is your child pale and fretful?
Does he cry out in his sleep or grind
his teeth? These symptoms may
mean worms and you should obtain
relief at once. Kickapoo Worm Kill
er is a pleasant remedy th;.t kills
the worms, and by its mildly laxa-
tive quality expels it from the sys-
tenn. Worms sap the vitality and
make your child more susceptible
to other ailments. Your druggist

ADVICE TO ORCHARDMEN.
Some Good Rules For Buying
Fruit Trees.

In purchasing trees deal only with
reputable nurserymen, and elimi'
nate the tree peddler as far as pos
sible. Choose those varieties that
are best suited to your local con
ditlons. Order the stock early, and
have it shipped when the ground is
prepared and you are ready to plant
As a rule, it makes very little dit'
ference when the trees are put out,
provided they are properly handled
and we'll matured stock is secured.
When trees arrive, don't leave them
in the express office for any length
of time. Remove and heel.in if you
are not prepared to put them out.
If, on the other hand. the trees have
dried out. bury in moist soil or SUBJ
merge in water.
Inordering trees, demand that one
year.old stock be sent. and accept no
lust as good varieties. This is
especially true in regard to peaches,
apples, and plums. Trees two
years old and older have had their
heads formed in the nursery row,
and they are more difficult to trans
plant. The common notion that
fruit will be secured quicker has
been exploded. and it is common
knowledge that one-year-old stuff
gives the most satisfactory results.
First.class nursery stock should
be free from disease and insect
pests, should possess we'll develop
ed root system, and should be
straight and comely, and should
come true to name. Accept only
budded or grated trees. Fruits
will not come true from seed, hence
the necessity of grating all stand
ard varieties.
Varieties are numerous. and no
set of varieties will do we'll under
varying conditions. Therefore. it is
well for those contemplating the set
ting of a new orchard to find out
just what varieties are suited to the
conditions at hand and order these.
Novelties may be tried out on small
scale, before hand and order these
