With dozens of new houses
going up and the town growing
every day, isn't about time that
something was being done to-
wards getting a supply of water
for the town. It's true that we
manage to get water enough to
drink and cook with from the
wells, but as to any further supply,
it must come from the cisterns or
from the river. Even the water
for bath tub must be carried in a
pail We might get along with
this even, were it not that we have
absolutely no facilities for extin-
gushing a fire.

Post has always been gratified at any evil
dence OF increasing popularity and marked
growth Of the State University. There ia
such need OF great Institution for the
higher education In this imperial State. and
the provisions for meeting this want haYo
been 30 generous, that indifference alone
ON tho part OF the citizens of Texas can
rb'ent the development Of another Yale
or Harvard or Princeton at Austin.
It ought not to be necessary to send a
single young man or young woman out OF
Texas to find the most ample facilities for
acquiring the very highest attachments In
classical and scientific culture. As a mat
ter OF fact. hundreds OF our youth are an.
nually found in Eastern and Northern
schools. Thousands OF dollars are thus car
rtcd out OF the State that. spent at home
might materially assist in rapidly perfect
Ing our own higher educational systems
Much OF this patronage OF Northern schools
Is purely sentimental and initiative Some
OF 1t Is based on religious or denomina-
tional sympaihies. 1t is doubtful however.

nearly a thousand millions worth OF food
siuffs In ono year. after having comfort
ably fed our T5.ooo, 900 people at home,
is fac, to arrest the attention ard serious
reflection Of the nations Of the earth. Dur
ing the past two months we have been
engaged In war but the exports for this
latter period have increased over preceding
months rather than decreased. The mos
encouraging feature. however. about these
food exports from the United States Is the
fact that. with Temporary setback hero
and there. they have been showing
marked growth for some time past, In
dicatlng steadily increasing dependence
by Europe upon this country for bread and
meat. The harycsts have been poor, It Is
true. for two or three years past In other
parts OF the world than America, but pos
slbly tho withdrawal OF millions OF men
from productive fields and their incor-
poration into great military and naval es-
Establishments has been the chief cause Of
short crops abroad. These unproductlve
millions not only add nothing to thu living
resources OF the older nations, but must
themselves be generously fed at govern
ment expeuse--thus creating even greater
food demand than II they we're idle in the
ordinary or civil walks OF life.
So long therefore. as these huge armies
arc TO be maintained and the already re-
dundant population remains In the re-
spective European countries, the depend
cnce upon tho United States must annually
grow more pronounced for food.
The political consequences OF this con-
dition Of affairs must prove as marked and
rs gratifying TO us as the commercial re-
suits.
Who can afford to quarrel with the coun
try upon which half the world depends for
grain and meat? What would be the re-
suit in Europe today II the United sta e.
two months ago had placed an embargo
against tho exports Of all food stulis? In
what country on the continent would there
not have been pnching hunger riot and
revolution? But let US feed the nations
and we need not care who makes their
laws
The figures relating to these phenomenal
exports of our food products. therefor,
are pregnant with great hopes and great
results. They mean that We are rapidly
becoming tho worlds storehouse and that
American farmers can contemplate the fu-
ture with peculiar confidence and satIsfac-
ton. And the prosperity OF our agricultural
masses win mean always the general ac-
tiylty Of domestic business.
