work. .
Kindergarten specialists of the

missionary work in India. The kin-

agency in mission work and 10 train-

ing of native kindergarten teachers.
A new college for women Is to be
established at Bennington, Vt. In Its
organization an attempt will be made
to economize time and expenses of
students. By eliminating long vaca-

students in three years to meet all the
requirements for a regular college de-
gree.

E. S Whit acre and daughter, Miss
Velma. of San Antonio, have been
hi re for-the past several days visiting.
J. A. Whttaerc and family. The
elder Mr. Wbitarre was at one time
omnrf the good substantial citizens,
of this county, living at Linglcvillc,
where he will also visit while here.
The Tribune wishes to call the at-
tention of the voters of Erath Counfy
tc the advertisement in this edition
with reference to the candidacy of
Carl C. Hardin for State Senate. This
is being run in several Erath county
papers by citizens of Bell county who
have met Mr. Hardin in the past three
or four weeks. They' recognize in
him a man well a,b!e to fill this impor-'
tant office and according to their be-
lief he will carry Bell county by ovpr
5000 votes. Therefore, it appears to
the ? Tribune that Stephenville and
Erath county should get in behind Mr.
Hardin and give in equally as good
backing. He is running solely on his
ability to fill the office and not being
supported by any jpftflicular group,
clique or any organization. Mr. Hardin
is one of the fbw candidates that this
paper has publicly supported and at
the close of the campaign We have no
apologies to offerSund still believe him
the best man for the place. Vote for
Mr, Hardin Saturday for the State
Senate.

Mrs, John Watts entertained with
n swimming party at the Stephenville
Country Club lake Wednesday even-

versation- After swimming Mrs.

Where Quality Never Varies
Where Quality Never Varies
ROM the very beginning this store dedicated itself to the higher principles of merchan-
dising. We believed then, as we do now, that quality is the safe guide to true economy.
We have preferred to educate the people to an appreciation of our merchandise rather
than lower our quality to meet competition that features prices.
