THE A. & M. COLLEGE.

A Texan, writing of the Texas State
Agricultural G. Mechanical College,
has this to say, which is applicable to
practically all State A. e M. colleges:
One excellent feature of the advan-
tages at the Agricultural & Mechani-
cal College Is that they are easily
within the reach of the poor mans
son. The necessary expenses for the
entire school year do not amount to
much more than the sum they must
pay for tuition alone at many OF the
universities and colleges of the coun-
try. And then a young man of grit
and energy can keep up with his stu
dies and at the same time by outside
work earn money enough to defray
large part of his expenses. Students
have not infrequently paid all of their
expenses, and 1t has occasionally hap
pened that some unusually thrifty fel-
low, in addition to making enough to
pay all his college expenses, has laid
by a snug little sum to begin life on.
A graduate Of the college was recent
ly asked how much money he had
when he entered the freshman class.
He replied: Il had forty dollars at
the beginning of the session, and
had forty dollars at the close of sci Dol
in June" 1t is reported of another
student who paid all his expenses by
working, that during the four years
of his college life he accumulated
eight hundred dollars. Some OF this
amount, however, was earned during
the summer vacations. An education
acquired under such circumstances
generally means great deal more
than one. the expenses of which are
all paid by a parent or guardian. The
young man who pays his own way
through college learns thoroughly the
value of a dollar, and he also gets
some lessons in self-denial and indie
pendence that can not fail to be help
full to him in after life

GET THE TREE-PLANrlNe HABIT.

Nothing so adds to the beauty of a
homes outward appearance as pretty
shade trees. 1t makes the home look
permanent. comfortable, prosperous,
inviting. When one sees nice shady
lawn, he feels Ike going in to rest,
and he never comes home, tired, hot
and dusty from his days work. If he
has such a yard of his own, that he
does not breathe an involuntary pray
or of thankfulness for Gods blessed
trees.
Nothing SO adds to the outward ap-
pearance of town as streets lined with
trees. The stranger feels perfectly at
home, though he may not know a hui
man soul. in the ordinary sense 1t
was a man of true feeling who wrote,
"One touch of nature makes the whole
world kin" Trees, natures splendid
exemplars, make the stranger wish to
STAY Many Arlington people are
planting trees. They are adding to
the comfort and the beauty of their
homes, and at the same time doing a
great good for the town. Get the tree
planting habit.-Arlington Journal.
When the Union came to William
son County in 1903 the Commercial
said then--when it was unpopular to
do so--when some newspapers were
denouncing it as political machine
that the farmer ought to organize.
These newspapers and politicians be-
gan to cast aspersion on the Union,
but it grew steadily. They then
jumped in the band wagon when the
Union became powerful and popular
But now that the crisis has come in
its history-the time when all true
farmers and patriotic citizens should
stand together against a common enc
my--the old enemy-the latter pro-
fessed friends are growing cold and
lukewarm in their support. The Com
mercial earnestly urges every member
of the Union who loves his home and
family, his rights and the great cause
of justice, to stand firm today. Be
steadfast, though the dark cloud come.
There Is victory ahead. Defeats and
disappointments, panics and gambling
will pass away. Put none but true,
loyal, unselfish men on guard, local,
county. district, State and National.
Then all is well, and the Farmers I'M
ion will triumph Let us stand to-
gether now.''-Austin Statesman.

CARE OF THE KITCHEN.
Clean Walls Are an Essential to
Sanitary Cooking.

It is not only important to know
how to cook, but it Is equally impor-
tant to know where to cook. Cook
ing in a dirty kitchen can never pro-
duce good food. The idea is simply
preposterous, yet kitchen walls are
left for months-sometimes for years
without cleansing.
In the first place the kitchen wall
should have a light tint that the mer-
est fleck of dirt can be seen; that the
sheerest cobweb can be brushed
away; that the tiniest water bug can
be discerned. 1t is all folly expecting
clean food in a kitchen with dirty
walls.
Never put wall coating on a
kitchen wall that is mixed with hot
water or that has glue in it, or sour
milk in it if mixed with cold water.
Glue walls made from horses hoofs
colored up with cheap colorings do
not indicate good housekeeping. The
glue Is constantly fecking off, fall
ing into the food and the idea of food
favored with glue made from horses
hoofs is not appetizing.
Kitchen walls to be thoroughly sat
isfactory should be alabastined the
same as every other wall in the
house. They should be coated regu-
larly in the spring and fall of each
year with a light tint.
The care Of the pantry requires
constant attention. The walls should
be brushed over every year, the
dishes removed from the shelves
which should be thoroughly wiped
Win rot water. If there are ant
holes or any other mSccts..n TIC Fs.n-
tries thick putty of the wall coat
ing can be made and all the ant holes,
even small mice holes can be filled
with it which will protect the pantry
from the incursions of disagreeable
insects and mice.

farmers EDUCATIONAL
AND
COOPERATIVE UNION
- OF AMERICA
COST OF COTTON PRODUCTION.
OF AMERICA

A gentleman on a Dallas, Texas,
4 street car was heard to remark few
weeks ago about as follows: Il We
raised cotton, and the cost of produc-
tion was not exceeding 5 cents a
Mound, and it is extortion for farmers
to ask Is cents" This is not the
word for word statement of the gen
tleman, but was the spirit and exact
substance of what he said. He spoke
in some bitterness, too, and was in
clined, one would judge, from his man
ner and tone, to lay the blame OF the
panieky times and hard lines resulting
therefrom upon the Union farmers
who were holding their cotton. He
thought they ought to sell for what
they could get for the products OF
their fields and the gifts of Mother
Earth in payment for the hard toll OF
themselves and their families. His
business was at standstill. All bust
ness was languishing, and the farmer
should sacrifice himself and the dear
ones of his heart and his home that
business might pick up.
Now, this gentleman is not an I'M
kind man, nor selfish, nor unjust. He
was, and is yet, in ignorance of the
facts in the case and does not COM
prehend the fact that no interest or
business can thrive, or even exist, as
Il ought to exist, and prosper, unless
the farming classes are prosperous.
He did not know, then, and does not
even dream now, that this panic be-
gan in October last and just ending,
was the deliberate, unscruplous work
of Eastern captains of finance, for
their own sinister purposes, utterly
reckless as to what the effects might
be on others so they prospered-a
scheme, indeed simply and purely for
spoiIation and to help along other
ends they had in view for the further
and continuous robbery of the people.
AS to his estimate of the cost to
produce cotton, let us look at that a
little. He says he raised cotton at
a cost of only cents a pound lie
did not do any such thing. At the
time he farmed. some years ago, he
might have produced cotton at an out
Law of actual cash of only 5 cents a
mound. but that actual cash outlay did
not represent the entire cost of pro
duetion His time was occupied In the
management of the affairs of his farm.
Was his time worth nothing? His
education and his skill were brought
into fun play and force in the prep
aration of his land, in the pitching OF
his crop, in its cultivation, in fight
ing and warding off crop enemies, in
gathering his crop, in preparing 1t for
market. in marketing 1t. Is all this
worth nothing? Is the wear and ex-
haustion of body and mind and the
worry and care incident upon the pro-
duction of a crop worth nothing? Is
the capital invested in a farm, In
the teams and farming implements, in
the feed stuffs for man and beast,
needful in the years work, worth
nothing? Shall there be no interest
on this investment added into the cost
of production? All these things we
have enumerated above enter into the
expense account and cost bills in ev-
cry other line of business under the
sun, and why not into the business OF
farming, too?-Co-Operator.
