Received = Hard Fall.

Mr.. Geo. p. Campbell, of Davis
City, received very hard fall while
in Leon last Saturday, and for
time he was in very serious condi-
ton, but is now getting along all
right. Mr.. Campbell was crossing
the street from Walkers restaurant
to the passenger station, and just as
lie stepped from the paved street to
the ground between the paving and
the sidewalk. he slipped and fell. Mr..
Campbell is a very heavy man, weigh
ing 26O pounds and he fell with
great force, striking his head on the
frozen ground. He was badly dazed,
and persons who saw him fall assist
ell him to the depot and he returned
to Davis City on the evening train,
brit after reaching his home he be-
came unconscious and remained In
this condition for several hours. He
was considerably improved the fol-
loving day and no serious results are
anticipated. -

SEE ECLIPSE TODAY.
Partial eclipse of Sun TOday-Begins
at 0:15 and Comes to Close
at 100 u. IN.

There is to be big free show here
this forenoon, the weather permit
ting. 1t will be partial eclipse or
the sun, and if the sky is clear, the
phenomena will doubtless prove as
Interesting as if it were a complete
obstruction. AS the show lasts about
two hours, there is no conceivable
reason why any one should miss 1t,
ana even the late risers ought to be
able to get out before the close. A
stargazer, who makes a speciality OF
such events, writes as follows:
For about two hours this forenoon
a peculiar semi-twilight will cover
the middle west and the United
States. The sun will go into total
eclipse, visible, however, in most OF
the United States, only as partial
eclipse. In this city it will appear as
partial.
The sun will begin to pass into the
shadow, as seen from here, about
9:15 and it will have entirely emerg-
ed from the shadow by about IL
o'clock. The path of total eclipse
runs through northern South Amerl-
ca and Genital America and on north
east through the ocean until it ends
near Ireland.
An astronomers note on the eclipse
is as follows: A total eclipse OF the
sun, Feb. 3, is visible as partial
eclipse in the United States, Mexico,
and Central America. The path OF the
central or total eclipse begins in the
Pacific ocean, moves eastward, cross
es the north portion of Colombia;
north of Caracas, over the island OF
Guadalupe, passes northwest OF the
Azores and ends at sunset in the At
lantic ocean south of Ireland. The
most favorable places for observing
the total eclipse are in the islands OF
Guadalupe and Desirable, where the
duration of totality is nearly two
and a half minutes. In the district
GOV erned by Chicago time the eclipse
begins at 9:15 and ends at 11:O3.
If the day is cloudy, only the vary.
ing light will indicate the eclipse. II
the sky is clear, the best way to OBJ
serve the phenomena is to- smoke a
piece of glass over lamp and watch
the eclipse through this. Some people
use the smoked glass in connection
with pail of water using the water
as q reflector, thus dimming the d.
rect rays of the sun in two ways. New
er try to see an eclipse OF the sun
with the naked eye as eye strain Is
sure to follow.

MUST GIVE FULL WEIGHT.
Dairy and Food Commissioner Insists
That The Consumer Must Get
What He Pays For.

1t may have been unnecessary to
warn the Leon coal dealers, for it is
believed that there has been no short
weight sold here in many years, but
while the state dairy and food COM
missioner was at it, he sent notices
to all coal dealers in the state warm
ing them against short weight. The
letter follows:
Gentlemen en:-Frequent complaints
of short weights are reaching the de-
partment. {. The inspectors have re-
weighed many loads of coal and
found substantial shortages. Prose-
cutions will follow
There are several reasons for the
shortages In some cases dishonesty
has been practiced. At times weigh
men have been been extremely care
ness. Wagons have been overloaded
and coal lost between the yard and
the place of delivery.
Short weights will not be tolerated.
Purchasers are entitled to receive all
the coal they pay for. The depart
ment must insist that coal be weigh
er more closely. The weighman

cities. Inspectors have found some
dealers receiving the advantage OF
the breaks both on the gross and the
tare.
Keep your scales clean at all
times. Balance often. Examine the
pits at least once week. When new
scales are installed make sure that
tAere is at least four foot clearance
sol that one may get under the scales
to- make repairs or to clean them.
DO not overload your wagons. Drly-
ers often start from the yard or mine
with their loads heaped high and be-
fore they can reach the destination
they are bound to lose portion OF
the coal. This should not be. The
wagon boxes should be tight to pre-
vent leakeages. The law requires the
dealer to deliver to the purchaser as
many pounds of coal as the delivery
ticket indicates.
Inspectors will be very active In
the enforcement of the law. Dealers
are warned to make sure that they
are giving full weight.
Very truly yours,

One on the Dog.

Leon, Iowa, Jan. %, 1916.
Editor Reporter wish to thank
YOUR for your editorial, not simply
because it commends my article, but
because think it is of as much
value to our cause as the article In
question.
Your typesetter, probably on ac-
count Of my poor writing, failed to
catch the idea where he makes me
say-"Do not "sick" or draw gore
on the man." Now l imagine draw
ing gore on man would be good
deal like drawing whiskey on a bar
rel. And the allusion to the poison.
ed sponge that follows would be
senseless.
Here is the idea: The farmer g
bull dog is named Drawgore. The
farmer sets Drawgore on the agent.
Drawgore seizes the agent by the
seat Of the pants. Dogs use this
hold, exclusively, on agents
A wise agent knows this and pads
his trouser seat with a sponge soak
ed in poison to kill the dog.
Respectfully yours,
A. M. Chrisman.
