TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1910.
Three days for a little jag of
freight from Wichita to Enid oughc
to be long enough for almost any
road, yet the Rock Island seems
to require more time.
It la said that every dog lias his
day but from the number of curs
seen roaming the streets of Enid,
collarlesa and tagless, It looks as
If they were having more than ono
day.
Tomorrow ends the open season
for shooting deer, and as far as
we have been able to learn no
Enid man has been fortunate
enough to secure one. Those who
made the effort had a good time
and can tell of a man "camped
about half a mile fr >m them" who
did get one.
It Is an amusing thing to notice
the reluctance with which some
of the women remove their hats at
places where they know the wear-
ing of them would not he tolerated.
At an entertainment given a few
evenings ago, and like the churches
it was free, Bomo ladles who were
Beated near the front of the audi-
torium debated among themselves
whether or not they should remove
their headgear. A survey of the
room showed to them that they
were the only ones who still had
hats on and they decided to meet
the ordeal and removed the ex-
hibit of millinery so that thos<>.
seated behind them could sec the
performers. The chances are that
these same women would denounce
a mere man as horrid who would
aare to remain in their presence lu
a room or even in an elevator with-
out removing his hat, even if he
bad both hands full of glassware.
<\ campaign for civic pride us
well as civic righteousness Is very
much needed in the city of Enid.
The county commissioners have set
sn example of city beautifying la
the work being done on the county
park about the court house, but
any one who came down town yes-
terday morning before the men In
chargo of the work had gathered
up the waste paper which had ac-
cumulated about the shrubbery on
the square would wonder where It
all came from. There is a vast
amount of waste paper always
blowing about and there should be
some way of putting a stop to it.
The people of the city should have
enough local pride to do their part
towards having a cleaner Enid but
if they do not the only thing left
is for officials to take a hand and
see if a way cannot be found to
make the people respect the law.
The good citizen will repect all
the laws. He will not condemn the
bootlegger and while he Is doing so
throw a lot of waste paper into the
street to blow aoout and make the
city look bad.
CONCRETE PAVING
The city of St. Joseph finds
much inspiration on the subject of
muntcpal pavng from the recent
experiments of City Engineer Wells
of this city.
The Garette of that city com-
ments as follows:
An experiment which Is being
I conducted by the city of Wichita
j In concrete paving should be of
interest to the board of public
works in St. Joseph and also to
I tne property owners who foot the
bills.
Hassaiu paving, which has be-
come quite popular in St. Joseph,
is a form of concrete paving. The
manner of compressing the mater-
ial while It Is Delng laid, is patent-
eu, and it is claimed that this in-
creases the cost. At the same time
it is held that the parlcular meth-
od used by the Hassam process
helps to make the paving superior
to what ordinary concrete would
be.
The Wichita paving experiments
show that the cost of laying a
block of concrete, just completed
In that city is 78.8 cents a square
yard, while the cost for a yard of
hassam there Is $1.70, showing a
saving for the concrete of 91.2
cents a square yard. The fact that
the paving was laid by the city
also cheapened the process, it is
believed.
For the benefit of the people
Bome method 6hould be devised by
which this cheaper paving, if it is
found to be desirable, could be util-
ized. St. Joseph will have a great
deal of paving to do within the
'next few years. There is no patent
upon ordinary concrete paving, it
could be used on many streets
where travel is light. It is already
used in Kansas City and other
places for alleys where there is not
much travel and is proving satis-
factory.
For the city to d:> this work and
arrange with the property owners
to pay It back, would mean an Is-
suance of bonds. Probably paving
districts could be organized so that
bonds c,f this nature could be is-
sued. Even If the paving were let
by contract It would be much
cheaper to do it by oond issues
than by the recent method, for the
reason that the contractors would
not have to figure on losses, as Is
the case now.
The matter should be carefully
Investigated not only by the city
officials but by the members-elect
of the legislature. II may be that
some plan of paying paving bills
could be devised which would be
more satisfactory and cheaper than
the present method.—Wichita Ea-

HARE'S EAR MUSTARD WEED
Noxious Plant la Quite General In
Western Portlona of Country—
Spreading Rapidly.
The hare's-ear mustard la moat hap-
pily named, as the leaves—as will be
seen by the illustration—are very aim
liar In shape to the ears of a hare.
ThlB resemblance is not only given
, recognition In the name "hare's-ear
mustard," but also In some of the
other common namea applied to the
plant, as, for Instance, in the name*
"rabbit-ear" and "hare's-ear cabbage."

Hare'e-Ear Mustard,
The latter seems to be a very descrip-
tive name. Aa la more or less gen-
erally known, the botanical family te
which the mustards belong also takea
In aome very useful cultivated crops,
such aa the turnip plant, the rape, cab-
bage, cauliflower and radish. The
hare's-ear mustard la one of the "black
sheep" of the family that bear* a con-
siderable resemblance In leafage to-
ward Its estimable cousin, the cab-
bage plant, the leavea of the young
plant being fleshy In appearance and
of much the same color as the leave*
of a young cabbage.
This la a weed quite general
throughout the West, and spreading
rapidly. It bears a creamy-white
flower about the end of June and rip-
ena Its seeda In Auguat and Septem-
ber. The plant developea quite a stiff,
wiry stem when ripe, and during Its
growing period It takea up consider
able room, crowding out other plants
and making a heavy drain upon Uie
moisture content of the soil.
FLOWERS IN A WINDOW BOX
CURING, NOT PUNISHING, CRIME
An experiment that Is likely to
prove notable in the annals of pen-
ology is about to get under way ai
the federal prison, just outside of
Atlanta, in the installation of the
plan of paroling criminals under
certain conditions.
The local parole ooard consists
of Robert V". LaDow, president of
the b. ards of parole of the Vnlled
States prisons; Warden Moyer and
Dr. A. L. Fowler, prison surgeon.
1 he board convened yesterday and
will he in session for several days.
The provisions of the law under
which the board is to act are that
all prisoners originally sentenced
for more than one year and who
have already served a third of
tin 1 rsentence, may apply for parole
contingent, of course, on a clean
record to the date of filing of ap-
plication .
The board will not grant a par-
ole until established work has been
secured for the applicant, and the
latter must report progress once a
month to the regular prison author-
ities for the remainder of the term
for which he was originally sen-
tenced .
More than 225 of the Inmates
of the local federal prison are en-
titled to apply for parole under the
new law. and the board will have
Its time fully occupied and its wis-
dom amply tested for the next
several days.
This innovation simply marks
another step forward In the econ-
omic and humane treatment of
criminals, as a substitute for the
ancient brutality that sickened the
spectator and failed of Its alleged
end -that of preventing or deter-
ring crime.
It has taken us a good many
centuries to arrive at the conclu-
sion that the policy which is hu-
mane is the policy which is also
economic, in other words, it pays
to deal with crime and the crimin-
al in an Intelligent and Judicious
kindness rather than with a club.
There can be little doubt that
the blundering and cruel methods
of lhe past have proved a fertile
source of remittal for crime, and
its enormous toll. Now th: t we are
seeing the situation In its real
light there is promise not only that
the criminal will he treated more
as a man aud less as a beast, but,
as well, that his kind will cost us
smaller public expedlture In the fu-
ture. Atlanta (Oa.) Constitution

If No Provision Has Yet Been Made,
Do Not Forego Pleaaure Before It
8eems Too Late.
If there are some windows about
the house where you would Uke to
have some plants growing, and no pro-
visions have been made for boxes for
them, don't forego the pleaaure bs-
cause V ieems to be late In the sea-
son. Use Coleus instead of flowering
plants. A row of the yellow variety
about the outside of the box, with
scarlet In the center will make your
window brilliant with color, and as
these plants are of rapid growth you
will not have to wait long for results.
They will often be found more satis-
factory than flowering plants, because
their richly-colored foliage will take
the place of flowers, and It will be la
evidence at all times; while few lew,
erlng plants will afford a constant
show of oolor. The gray Centaurs*
and the orange yellow Pyrethrum
("Golden Feather") can be uaed with
the scarlet and yellow varieties at Oo-
leua, with fine effect
