HERR is MAKING GOOD.
New Superintendent Of Hutchinson
Reformatory Starting Out Right.

Probably one of the best appoint
ments Governor Hodges has made
since he assumed his duties last jan
uary is that of superintendent OF
the state industrial refOrmatory at
Hutchinson. The individual in charge
Of that institution is Hon. J. n.
Herr, of Kiowa, Barber county. Mr..
Herr attained a statewide reputation
during the 1913 session of the state
Legislature through his well known
Influence and accomplishments in the
lower house. He was chairman OF
the Ways and Means committee and
as such was a potent factor.
As executive head oil the most i'm
pOrtalt committee in his branch OF
= the legislature, Mr.. Herr yielded an
influence that was not not eQualed
by any, save the speaker alone. In
tact, himself and Major Brown work,
ed hand in hand, and it was largely
due to this dual influence that many
of the admirable laws now in effect
were enacted.
Mr. Herr was never a candidate
for the office he is now holding. Ii
fact, many of his friends knew O
the governors intention before tht
subject was ever preached to him
When the matter was first mention
ed to Mr.. Herr, he gave out tn
word that he could not afford to con
slider the place, but the governO
and members of the Board of CorreC
tons, under whose supervision tn
penal institutions of the state ar
operated, desired that he accept tn
appointment, and the Kiowa man f
nally consented to assume the pro
fered duties.
Mr.. Herr is beginning his admil
iStratiOn in a manner that convince
all concerned that Governor Hodge
made a wise choice. In fact he a.
pears more like an experienced a.
ministrator of institution work tina
the beginner that he is. He enjoy
the unlimited respect and cOnfidenC
of every officer, regardless Of poll
ical utilization, connected with Il
. reformatOry, and it is an assured ia
that he will emerge at the conclr
sion of his tenure of office bearir
the reputation of being one of Il
states most successful officials.
The new superintendent has anu
Der Of plans for improvement at Il
institution which he will place in e
ecution from time to time. One
which is a general cleanup, whiC
9 he already has begun. There are
. number Of buildings, some Of WIKI
have been hanging fire in course

CHRISTMAS TREE WARNING.

Light, inflamable decorations on a
Christmas tree make fires easy to
start and easy to spread. A match
or defective wiring may do it and
cause loss of life. Do not change
the wiring without consulting the
electrician.
Do not decorate the Christmas tree
with paper, cotton or inflammable ma
terial. Use metallic tinsel and unin-
flammable material only. Set the tree
securely SO that children in reaching
for things cannot capsize it. Do not
use cotton to represent snow. Use
asbestos fiber. Do not leave match
es within reach of children during
the holiday season. Candles are
meant to be lighted and if children car
get matches they will experiment
with them. They initiate their cid
ers.
Read your insurance policies and
study this clause: This entire pol
icy. unless otherwise provided by
agreement endorsed hereon or added
hereto shall be void, If the hazard
be increased by any means within the
control or knowledge of the insur
ed"

REFORM IN DRESS.

Who can doubt that mothers
are off the job when they allow
their young daughters to paint >.
their faces and to wear the sort
of clothes we have seen every
where in the last two or three
seasons? To say mothers can't
control their daughters is even
worse It's an acknowledgment
Of disgracefu failure that no
grown woman should be obliged
to make We are living today
in a pandemonium of powder, a
riot of rouge, a moral anarchy
of dress When will women
learn that the only aids to beau
ty" are absolute cleanliness, prop
er food, proper exercise, abun-
dant sleep. fresh air and an un-
selfish character? 1t is unfortu-
nate that the women OF today
are not more careful about them
selves and the impressions they
are making on society by their
loudneSs in dress, their love for
cosmetics and indulgence In
questionable dances These are
not the qualities that go to make
good Christian homes and attract
God fearing men. To indulge In
the worldiness may attract the
giddy and thoughtless, but 1t
will never excite the admiration
Of decent men who seek wives
and the quality that strengthens
trust. constancy and fidelity In
the true husband. -Rt. Rev. Mon
signor O'Hare. New York City.

TRUE MEASURE OF CiVlLlZA-
TON

| warn my countrymen that
the great recent progress made
in city life is not full meas
ure of our civilization, for our
civilization rests at bottom on
the wholesomeness. the attrac-
tiveness and the completeness,
as well as the prosperity of life
in the country The men and
women on the farms stand for
what is fundamentally best and
most needed in our American
life. Upon the development of
country life rests ultimately our
ability. by methods requiring the
highest intelligence. to continue
to feed and clothe the hungry
nation; to supply the city with
fresh blood, clean bodies and
clear brains that can endure the
terrific strain of modern life.
We need the development Of
men in the open country who
will be in the future as in the

FLORIDA TRUCK MOVING
Heavy Shipments Going Forward
Citrus Season CLOSING

This bids fair to be a record
breaking year in ali of Florida's
products, fruit and vegetables not
being the exception. Shipments
OF melons, vegetables and pineap-
piles during the week just closed
were unusually heavy and the final
figures of the citrus fruit season
show that Florida has shipped
by a big margin, more citrus fruit
this year than ever before.
According to the figures kept
by the Tribune 2e,995 boxes of
citrus fruit have been shipped
from this State by rail this wear.
This figured at 800 boxes to the
car totals s,O9s, 500 boxes. Added
to this should be nearly a million
more boxes by steamer, bringing
the total up to the neighborhood
of 5000, 900 boxes which breaks

As intensive farming methods
have advanced in this State, and
as the acreage increases this truly
is becoming the ''Truck Patch of
the Nation" Beating all other
producing districts to market
Florida is shipping vegetables at
the rate of over 500 cars per
week, melons at the rate of over
400 cars and pineapples we'll up
into the hundred of cars per week
The shipments during the week
Just closed show that 500 carloads
OF tomatoes, lettuce, beans, pota-
toes, cucumbers, etc., to the var
lous markets at prices which have
so far been satisfactory. Prices,
however, would be better for
Florida produce, dealers say. if
the packing was more uniform.
Loo many growers depend on the
early product for their prices.
With uniform packages going in
to market early the prices would
be just that much better.
Watermelons have commenced
moving in large quantities as is
shown by the shipments during
the week. The railroad figures
show that 497 carloads we're ship
ped out of the State during the
week, with 400 carloads of pine
apples. Tampa Tribune.
