THE LEON REPORTER, THURSDAY. DECEMBER 80, 1909.
For the Leon Boosters.
The following little gem from the
pen of Homer Clark Bennett, offers
some good advice in the line of
boosting which will be appreciated
by the Leon boosters who propose to
do some things for Leon the coming
year:
Do you know, there's lots of people,
Settln' 'round in every town,
Growlln* like a brooay chicken/
Knockin' every good thing down,
Don't you be that kind 'o cattle,
'Cause they ain't no use on earth
You just be a booster rooster—
Crow and boost for all you're
worth..
If your town needs boostin', booster
'er
Don't hold back an' wait to see
If some other feller's willin'—
Sail right in, this country's free.
No one's got a mortgage on it,
It's yours as much as his
If your town is shy on boosters,
You get in the boostin' biz.
If things don't just Beem to suit y6u,
An'the world seems kinder wrong,
What's the matter with a boostin',
Just to help the thing along?
'Cause if things should stop agoin',
We'd be iu a sorry plight—
You just keep that horn a blowin'.
Boost 'er up with all your might.
If you see some feller tryin'
For to make some project go,'
You can boost it up a trifle
That's your cue to let him know
That you're not goin' to knock it
Just because it ain't your "shout."
But you're goin' to boost a little,
'Cause he has got "the best thing
out."
If you know some feller's failln's,'
Just forget 'em, 'cause you know
That same feller has got some good
points—:
Them's the ones you want to show.
"Cast your loaves out on the waters,
They'll come back," 's a sayin'
true.
Mebbe they'll come back, "butteired,"
When some feller boosts for you.
Hexamethytonetetrorainc,
The above is the name of a Ger
man chemical, which is one of the
many valuable ingredients of Foley's
Kidney Remedy. Hexaihethylene
tetramine is recognized by medical
text hooks and authorities as a uric
acid solvent and antiseptic for the
urine. Take Foley's Kidney Rem
edy as soon as you notice any irreg
ularities and avoid a serious malady.

This is vacation week and the boys
and girls are happy.
We were glad to see quite a num
ber of former Leon students visit the
schools last week.
Mr. Mullinnix gave the pupils of
Miss Miller's room an interesting talk
on "Oil and Oil Fields" last Tuesday.
The teacherB appreciate the gifts
with which their pupils surprised
them with last Friday.
Wednesday afternoon the high
school was delightfully entertained
with several splendid readings given
by Mrs. Paul F. Voelker, of Detroit,
Mich., a former teacher in Drake
University
Dr. Gringle appears at the opera

ber of the school entertainment
course. His subject is "How to be
Happy While Living."
A very interesting program was
rendered in the high school Friday
forenoon. After a number of songs
and recitations Rev. Boyd g&re aa
appropriate Christmas talk and the
school band rendered several goo0
selections.
Ralph Goodman, who lives five
miles north of Leon, is a student in
the Leon High School. He invited
the high school teachers to eat
Christmas turkey at the home of his
parents. To say that the teachers
had a good time would be putting it
very mildly. They proved that they
were at home at the dinner table as
well as in the school room.
Mr. and Mrs. Voelker entertained
the Juniors Monday evening in honor
of Beulah Tharp, who leaves for In
dependence, Kas., this week. The
evening was spent in music and
games. We are sorry to lose Beulah
from our school, but the best wishes
of schoolmates, classmates and teach
ers accompany her.
