INSIDE VIEW OF CANNON.

spiral-like lines converging to the white

this description have spiral corruga-
lions running the entire length Of their
cylinders. AS the immense projectile
measuring thirteen inches in diameter
Is forced toward the mouth of the can
non by the explosion of the charge
which fires the cannon the corrugations
give rotary motion to the projectiIe.
BY giving the projectile rotary mo-

gravity is established, and the shot
flies straight toward the point to which
1t Is directed.
Move the picture slowly from left to

HIS OPINION OF FIELDING.
At Least, only Kind Young Broker

A young broker in Boston, while Wis
iting certain household in the Hub

of young women graduates whose con.
yersation suddenly turned TO a dis
cussion of the development Of the
English novel.
The dealer in stocks and bonds
speedily found himself "out Of IT,"
Presently, during lull, one young
woman asked him:
What do you think Of Fielding, Mr.,
Brown"
"Oh, fielding is important, OF course.

A cuRFew FOR THE eRowN-uPs

A we'll known resident of Gaines
vile this morning suggested unique
plan to abate burglaries which should
be popularity discussed, and if found
feasible, adopted.
The business man referred to,
stated that he thought is would be a
good idea to instruct the officers to
stop all persons wandering around
after 1870 at night and to inquire
their business. If satisfactory explana-
tons were made, allow them to pro-
coed, otherwise let them spend the
night in the police station. OF course
this does not apply to people who are
justified in being out in the residence
portion of town and will Work no in
convenience with them, but it's the
tough characters who loiter around
waiting for the lights to go out that
this ordinance would affect and they
happen to be the ones that should be
called upon to explain. GAINESVILLE

Senior Ignacio Perches Enriquez,
who has for some time held position
as linotype operator in The Eagle of.
flee, has received a letter from the
management of the Monterey (Mexi-
COZ News, offering him the position
of Editor of the Spanish edition of
that excellent periodical.
Senior Perches Enriquez is a well
educated Mexican gentleman of pure
Spanish blood, who left his native
country some years ago for political
reasons. He is a strong supporter of
the Diaz regime, which he thinks is
so firmly established that there is no
danger of a revolution following the
death of the venerable president. 1t
is his opinion that General Reyes will
be the successor of Diaz and that he
will prove himself in every way

A Cannery for Bryan .

Every year large quantities of fruits
at times the supply is greater than
the demand of the local market. Last
summer for awhile tomatoes were so
abundant that nobody would buy
them. and this was also true of figs.
and to some extent of other articles.
To stop this waste The Eagle has
several times suggested that some
body could make good money by put
ting in a cannery. But no good bust
ness man is going to invest money in
cannery without the assurance of a
sufficient supply of canning material
to secure him against loss.
In order to put the matter on a
business basis there must be con-
tract, or at least an understanding,
between the producers and the can
ner. If the fruit and vegetable grow
ers will get together and see what
they can do and if they find it
practicable, will formulate a business
proposition that is reasonably at
tractive, the editor of The Eagle will
find the man with the money to build,
equip and operate the cannery. The
Eagle does not know whether or not
Il is within the province of the Farm
ers' Union to undertake this, but if
it be so, would like to hear from

FROM sUPT. PARKER
Address to Patrons Of Rural Schools
of the County

Address to Patrons of Rural Schools
of the County.
To the Patrons of the Rural Schools:
In view of the fact that the majority
of the country schools are open for
only six or seven months of the year,
and some even for a shorter time,
would urge that parents have their
children enter school at the opening
of the term or as soon thereafter as
possible, and see that they attend
regularly. | fear that many parents
do not realize the importance of send
ing their children to school regularly.
Looking over statistics for the school
year ending August 81, 1906, we find
the astounding fact that in the rural
schools of Texas for that year, there
was an average daily absence OF 262,-
42S children within school age. In
other words, of every one hundred
children living in the rural districts,
forty were out of school during
all the time the schools were in ses-
sion.
Coming back to the question of emit
ering school at the beginning of the
term, | wish to say that it is quite
an advantage to the child to begin
with the rest of his class. He feels
that he has an equal start and is not
embarrassed and discouraged by mis-
sing things that his CLASSMATES have
lust passed over. 1t is an advantage
to the teacher in arranging her elias
ses to have all at beginning of school.
1t is an advantage to the school as a
whole for the teacher to have her
classes so arranged that she will
have time to give the needed in
struction on the various subjects.
realize. OF course, that in the country
districts, conditions are sometimes
such that some of the children can
not enter school at the beginning OF
the term, but let me urge that they
enter as soon as possible.
Another matter to which | call at
tention is the change in text books
Nearly all of the books used in the
schools during the past five years
were changed this year by the Text
book Board. The law requires that
the adopted books be used. The law
also provides that the books that have
been in use in the schools may be
exchanged for the new books at halt
price, provided the old books have all
the lessons in them. | suggest that
the old books might be used the first
few days of school until the teacher
has classified the children and furn-
ished them with a list of books need
ed.
In conclusion, let me ask that par
ents visit their school; get acquainted
with the teacher and her work; Nsee
whether there is anything needed
the way of comfortable seats, deskt
blackboards, window lights, drinking
water, stove wood, or anything else
that might add to the comfort and
convenience of your child. If there
be any such needs, you, of course, will
be willing and ready to help provide
