Are you giving ear to all Of the yimmer-

This is the part of the season. the fag-
end of it, for the pulling of that kind of

Hayes Gets Easy Money.

Johnny Hayes entrance into the Nauue-
vile field has fallen sort of dead over
here. Folks didn't exactly Ike the idea
Of the winner OF the Marathon rigging
things up so that he could keep himself
cially in view OF the fact that Dorando,
the almost winner of the race. did the
same thing in London, thereby setting
an example that didn't precisely have to
be followed by the American who actu-
ally copied the event They're not break
ing one anotherS ribs in their efforts to
see Hayes come out IN front of the screen
in his running togs while moving pictures
of the Marathon are flashed on the sheet.
The thing looks too much like self-eX-
ploitatiou. and this populace soon curdles
up on any kind of a temporarily famous
individual who evinces determined dis
position to keep himself in the limelight
right along as Hayes has done. Hayes
recently accepted a sum of money from
New York paper to conduct series
OF runs by the school kids of New
York. Hayes. in the lead of some thou
sands of urchins, has been seen hustling
around the New York streets with this

large new job was fixed up for Hayes
at the store where he used to work

conservative folks seem to think that he

down hunk of temporary cnange by

Japanese Advertising.

The japanese seem to get much
more out of a trademark than we
do. All of the larger concerns have
a distinct mark, usually some geo
metric design, with which every
thing in any way identified with the
company is plainly marked. I'm
mediately upon reaching Japan Eu-
ropean tourists begin to study these
marks and after few days are able
to tell a great deal about com
merce and shipping simply by hav
ing learned the characteristic de-
signs of some of the larger compa-
MES. Even in the Chinese ports
many Japanese goods are known by
these marks by the most iHiterate
coolies, who could not pretend to
read an advertisement.

RECORD BREAKING
BASS AT KINGSVILLE
Richard C. Kleberg Captures the
Heaviest Ever Taken from Texas
Waters.
To The Herald:


Ki1fgsville, Texas, July 27.-Rich-
ard KIeberg, eldest son of Mr. Robt-
J. Kleberg, landed a 12-pound bass a
day or two ago, which is the largest
bass ever taken from Texas waters,
of which any record has been made.
The catch was made at Rediche Lake,
a small pool formed from an artesian
well, nine miles south of Kingsville
on the St. Louis, Brownsville & Mex
leo railroad. When the lake was first
formed some years ago, Mr.. Kleberg
stocked it. as well as other artesian
lakes on the Santa Gertrudis Ranch,
with bass obtained from the govern
ment fisheries at San Marcos. Bass
grow very last and it is nothing I'M
usual to catch them in these lakes
weighing six or seven pounds, but the
one recently landed by Richard was
the first 12-pounder that has ever
been taken from these waters. 1t
was weighed in the presence of
Caesar Kleberg and two or three 9th
ers, all of whom corroborate Richard
Kleberg's statement that it tipped
the beam at exactly II pounds. It's
length was 81 IL inches. When
cleaned, the fat on it lay in fakes
and rolls.

ELECTRIC PLANT IS NOW
IN WORKING ORDER
Heavy Wire Substituted for that Original
ly Strung, and Commercial Service
Improved.

The electric lights were turned
on as usual last night and seem to
give a brighter light than ever
since the trouble at the plant was
remedied.. Tho trouble was. pure
ly local, and was easily arranged.
but there was another defect in the
electric system which was dis
covered by the electrician and re-
medied, which has also benefited
the plant materially. c. w.
Maskell, an electrician from Fort
Wayne, Ind, came down for the
contractors to attend to the mat
ter.
The new No. wire has also
been substituted for that originally
strung from the plant into town,
which was condemned as being too
light, being No. 8. The result
is quite an improvement in the
commercial service furnished by
the plant, which has not been quite
satisfactory hitherto. The new
wire runs from the plant to the
point of distribution near the rear
of the customhouse. This work
was completed yesterday.
Superintendent Moore feels
satisfied now that all trouble in
connection with the electric sys-
TEN is over, and that the plant
will work smoothly from now on.
