Cecil L. Hull Announces.

In this issue of The Helad appears
the announcement of Cecil f. Hull,
who aspires to serve the people of
DeSoto county as tax collector. Mr.
Hull is well and favorably known
throughout the county, having lived
here all his life and served as a
teacher in the schools for l 5 years or
more. His knowledge of county af-
fairs, gained by lifetime residence
here, and his experience as a teacher
would seem to give him the quail
tications necessary to make an able
and satisfactory collector.

A COMPLIMENT
Herald Placed in List of Better-Look-
ing State Papers.

The Florida press has the reputa-
ton of having some Of the best APP
pearing newspapers in the country.
We believe that that statement will
be unchallenged by even the press OF
the other states. We believe that,
taken in the mass and by detail, that
the state papers of Florida will show
a higher percentage of real artisti-
cally made-up and printed news
papers than can be shown by many a
state claiming a higher grade of
newspaper men than we do. We
call to mind several which stand out
little above the average and (that,
by the way is high one) there is
the Florida Advocate, The Fl. Myers
Press, the new Punta Gorda Herald,
the Lakeland Advertiser, the Avon
Park Pilot, the Eustis Lake Region,
Sebring White Way, FIT Pierce News
and the St. Lucie Tribune, the Estero
Eagle--where shall we stop?
The South Florida papers look
much better, as rule, than those of
the other sections of the state.
Perhaps this is because the equip
ment is newer than in the older
portions OF the state, or because the
south ends more progressive citizen
ship is reflected in their newspapers.
There are many mighty good look
ing sheets gotten out all over the
whole of Florida, however, and it is
possible that sectional" pride has
something to do with our favoring
our South Florida papers a little

AT LEAST IT'S NOT PROBABLE
Judge Was Likely Dead Right When
He Told the Elderly Lady About

The judges OF the Marion county

Keep on PLANTING Trees.

As an asset TO any piece OF proper
ty, a tree or trees can not be oyeres-
tlmated. The moment n tree is plant
ed the value of piece OF property is
increased. As Mr.. Kennedy says TO
the boys. time goes on Just the same, "
so why not plant some trees. The
tree-planting campaign that Is occupy
ing the attention of the country right
now has taken on many phases. and In
each Of these phases the value of the
property Is being increased whether II
be school yard or Road OF Re-
membrance." such as Is being planted
with memorial trees In many parts Of
the country. A properly planted road
meaas better transportation TO or from
or between towns. That all means
better business. better living coHdi-
lions. and better country.

Preparation Of Annual Lawn.

The annual lawn. which is neces-
sary In some cases preparatory TO the
making of the permanent lawn. may
be made by seeding with Italian rye
sown either in fall or spring at the
rate OF two bushels per acre. When
properly cared for this will make q
beautiful green six to eight weeks
from seeding. II is imperative that
this grass be cut when II has reached
a height Of three to four inches other

his last term had expired, he connected
himself with the Granite Block Manu-

Hon. Patrick ]. Carr, Democratic or
the peoples candidate for denomination
for Trustee Of the Sanitary District of
Chicago, in which capacity he has ably
served for the past six years, was born
right here in cid Chicago, September
1880. He was the wide awake son
Of James and Bridget (Bolger) Carr,
who were wen known TO the old time
citizens Of Chicago. As he advanced
towards ripe boyhood he sold news
papers for nine years, at the same time
saving his money, which was expended
to assist to educate him, and after com
plotting his education in the grammar
school in this city, he entered the De
La Sale Institute, finally graduating
from It with high honors.
On August 9, 1905, Mr.. Carr was hap
PLY united in marriage to Miss Agnes
AeAuley, and they are the proud and
happy parents of one highly accom-
plished daughter, Miss Margaret Carr.
They reside in a pleasant home at 35Os
8. Western avenue.
Seemingly it was just as natural for
Mr.. Carr to take to politics as it is
for ducks to take to water, and for
more than six years he was one Of the
honest sidewalk inspectors for the city
OF Chicago, and moving forward or on
up in political Affairs he was elected
