week, attending the Style and Fashion

Gov. Major Monday of last week
appointed Geo. w. Hanson Superin-
tendent of Schools for Iron County,

to accept the Office of County
Collector. The Governor also appoint

From the U. s. Chronological Data
for Missouri: February, 1915, was
among the mildest of it's name dur
ing the past 81 years. It was mostly
cloudy, but not unusually wet, al
though precipitation was well distri-
buted and ample, occurring in short
periods at regular intervals. There
was no severe cold. at any time. The
uniformly mild condition with ample
moisture was favorable for the wheat
crop; and the usual farm work was
carried on without much interference.
Stock on the range also Jared well.
The people of Reynolds County dc
not appreciate the unfavorable no.
t~oriety which the st. Louis Republic
has been dishing out concerning the
terrible ~ conditions of poverty in
our country. 1t strikes us that the
Republic had better devote it's space
to the thousands of cases Of poverty
and destitution in its own city, in
stead of picturing horrible conditions
which do not really exist here. When
we need charity, the Republic viii
be duly notified, which will be time
enough for them to pass the ha
around-Centerville Outlook.

Boston Lecturer, Mr.. Sidney Woollet
Much had been expected from tn
inimitable speaker, and none wei
disappointed. The afternoons pre-
