(Special to The Herald.)
SAN BENITO. Texx. Dec. 16. -
Kansas i eople are even more inquis-
itive than their* "Show Me** neigh-
bors in Missouri if the telegrams of
.1 1. H**ll concerning the progress of
the Valley exhibit ear are an indi-
t cation.
Mr. Bell secretary of the San He-
I nito Chamber of Commerce and pres-
j ident of the Valley Association of
Chamber of Commerce secretaries
said in a telegram from Wichita.
; Kansas that the three thousand per-
sons who weathered 'zero tempera-
ture to see the* car there asked more
questions than any other six thous-
and.
"They counted the rows in the enrs
of corn marveled at the citrus the
growth and variety of vegetables;
• asked about the climate anil the soil
marveled at these and at irrigation."
Mr. Bell *-nid
Mr. Bell joined the car again at
Coffeyville Kansas after spending
several days in the Valley during
which time Rosa A. Marcus net* re-
i tiny of the Mission Commercial club
! was in charge of the ear.
Another supply of fruits and veg-
i ctablei was shipped from the Val-
iev for the car. and still more will
be shipped to Omaha where the chi
will be the latter nnrt of this week.
The exhibit of Valley vegetables
j the fruits and green stuffs seem
strangely nut of place in tbe icei and
snow of the middle west tales Mr.
Bell said Out-ide is ice and snow.
! ;-nd ice is over the window- of the
• ar. but inside the temperature
maintained at tbe same hich averagt
| as in the home of the fruits and

Flesh Torturers Still

Exclusive Central Press l>i'p»lrh to
HrimnNimr Herald
TAOS. N. M Dec. Hi There still
'are Penitent*:* in the 1’nited States.
•This eecentiW* sect of “flesh* Im-
iturrrs" which existed in Klirope ccn-
turies ago to the alarm and worn-
intent of kins und clergy has a rem-
nant of active followers in noitiem
Arizona. The majority of ttie Peni-
iVntcs art- Pueblo Indians. A few of
them Mexicans an«l there have
been at various times Americans
who have adopted this strange creed.
Taos is the headquarters*- «** th *
lVnitentes. Then* stands here a i'm-
Jtcnte Mission or Moradaa which
probably is the only building of ns
bind open to public vie'w in tiie

arrjy * at. for the follower:- o this
rect make every effort to keep their
membership a secret holding their
Ceremonials fur out in the mou'it.uns
to avoid the curious gnze of r pec tu-
tors.
The central belief of the is*
that sin ran be expurgated by phy-
sical suffering and that Divin- for-
giveneis and redemption can be ob-
tain'd by self-inflicted tortur*-. t«r
substantiation of it* belief t.ie sett
considers the sufferings of Christ on
Mount Calvary. A.common theory f*n
♦he origin of the sect is that it began
by carrying to an extreme the Mul-
dl -.ige. self-disciplinary rite^ of vr-
rious orders of monks.
The rite of self-torture takes place
during the week of Lent and .Incir is-
es in siverity from Wednesday
