BUSINESS CIRCLES
STIRRED TO DEPTH
LARGE TEXAS DRY GOODS CON-
Germ TAKES DRASTIC ACTION
CHAIN OF STORES TO
Be L|QU|OATED
Stocks to Be Sold at Public Sale at
Retail.

Long circulating rumors about the
impending liquidation Of the immense
General Merchandise stock OF the
chain of stores of A. j. Wagner q CO.,
located at Bryan, NavaSota and Mexla'
Texas, were suddenly confirmed by the
firms positive announcement TO tnat
effect. The news has created a STIR
among the local business circles, and
came as a surprise to the many friends
and customers of this well-known firm.
The firm of A. j. Wagner & Com
pany is onC of the largest and best
known in Central Texas, having been
established for over ten years, and
their combined stocks are estimated
to aggregate to S300,000.0O worth OF
merchandise.
The liquidation of these merchandise
affects every one of their stores and
the fact that the stock must be dis
posed of before May the first, has led
the firm to offer these high grade goods
at Retail Public Sale
To accomplish the huge task OF dis
posing of the S300,000.0O stock, in the
given length of time, the concern Is
bending all efforts, and sparing no eX-
pense to thoroughly advertise this
event, and as advertisements nave
been sent broadcast over a radl-
us of two hundred miles, an enormous
crowd is expected to attend this public
sale. Vast preparations are being made
10 accommodate the expected masses,
scores of clerks having been employed
and are now making important
changes in the establishment to prop
erly meet the demand; the entire
building is now closed and will remain
closed until Wednesday, April 18th, at
8 a. m. when this unique mercantile
sale will commence.
Thousands of people from the sur
rounding country are expected TO con-
gregate in Bryan, MeXia and Navasota,
during this gigantic Carnival of value
giving. which will be held there be-
ginning Wednesday, April 18th, at >
a. M, and lasting sixteen days. It's
tremendous size and wonderful eX-
travagance can only be believed in the
actual seeing. A great many of our
citizens have already expressed them
selves as having made up their minds
to attend, and not since the begin
ming of sales has an enterprise so ire
mendous in size been organized as this
one. Sensational features in all of
the departments proclaim this event
to be one of unusual significance to
the public and a glance at its list OF
attractions will lead one to believe
that the limit in size as well as in ire
mendous genuine bargains has been
reached.

Sible. Alfalfa or clover makes the best
pasture. Rape and peas are good for
temporary pastures. For a permanent
pasture blue grass and white clover
are very good. A mixture of clover
and rape sown with oats in the spring
makes the best kind of fall pasture
when the other pastures are liable to

When corn is not worth over 80
cents bushel the cheapest gains will
be made by feeding corn alone or in
connection with skimmflk. provided
that plenty OF green food is given. AS
the price Of corn advances the use Of
supplementary feeds high in protein
becomes more profitable. With corn at
so cents a bushel the use Of one part
Of meat meal or tankage to nine parts
of corn will reduce the cost Of gains
nearly dollar hundred pounds. The
difference is even more marked when
corn is fed in dry lot.
There is usually little to be gained
in grinding corn for hogs, but it will
be an advantage to shell it and soak it
from one feed to the next. Expert
ments show that this reduces the cost
Of gains by about per cent.

A PLACID MERCHANT.
He Had Some Regard For the Social
Side of Trade.

Side of Trade.
The summer visitor in a small sea-
port town was amazed and amused at
the assortment Of merchandise display
ed in the little store at the head of the
wharf. The showcase was devoted to
an assortment of candy at one end and
a lot Of cigars and tobacco at the 9th
er end and no barrier between. Next
to the showcase stood a motor engine
valued at several hundred dollars.
Thinking to please the proprietor,
the visitor remarked that even the
large department stores in Boston
could not boast Of such collection.
''Well," he said, II amt aping them
stores, can tell you. I aim to keep
what my folks want When a man
wants an engine for his bot he wants
it, and if the fish are running he can't
wait to send way to Portland or Bos-
ton for it. He wants it when he does,
then and there"
After a little pause he continued:
Il don't like the way they do business
in them big stores, anyway. Why,
when you go into a store up to Bos-
ton the first thing you know some
body asks you what you want.
"Now. never do anything like that
If man comes into my place pass
the time O. day and ask him to set
and after he's set and talked a while
if he wants anything he'll tell me.
Il never poster man to buy. May
be he amt come to buy; maybe he's
come to talk" -Youth's Companion.

He Had Reformed.

A young man who was an enthusi--
astic lover of nature went to the sea-
side for a holiday and, approa ching a
typical fisherman, said:
"Ah, my friend, how well you must
know the face Of nature and know it
in its many moods! Have you ever
seen the sun sinking in such a glare of
glory that it swallows up the horizon
with fire? Have you not seen the mist
gliding down the shrinking hillside
like specter?''
And, very excited and throwing out
his arms, he continued:
"Have you never seen, my man, the
moon struggling to shake off the rag
ged, rugged storm cloud?'
The fisherman replied, ''No, sir; /

A Little Amhiuuous.

The Ingrahams were entertaining
two friends at dinner. After Mr.. In
graham had helped them to roast beef
he happened to glance at the other end
OF the table, where his wife sat, and
observed, to his horror, that the sugar
bowl was the old one, with both han
dies broken off, that usually graced the
dining table on wash days.
In vain he endeayored by mysterious
mods and winks to direct Mrs. Ingra-
hams attention to it. She either did
not see or would not see the mutilated
piece of queensware, and his patience
gave way at last.
"Cornelia," he said, with some sharp
ness, do you think we ought to use a
sugar bowl when we have company
without ears on?'-Youth's Compan-
ion.

The First Universities.

To FIX precisely the date of the rise
Of the first universities is impossible
for the reason that they we're not
founded. but grew. They were started
by few able men who had something
they wished to teach and youths
wished to learn. Gradually the free,
voluntary center of learning became
the organized affair we know as the
university. Among the earliest of
these centers Of learning were Saler-
no. Naples and Bologna, Italy being
the first land to experience the literary
revival. We may say that Salerno
university was fairly established by
the year 1860. the University of b.
logna by 116O and the University Of
Naples by the year 1900. The Uni
versity Of. Paris. which owes its ex-
istence to the genius of Abelard, was
founded about the same time.-New

THE = THIRD DEGREE. =

'Eshtes st <i5s Process - Defined BY
inspector Byrnss.
''The third degree" said Inspector
Byrnes, the former chief Of detectives,
should be a psychic rather than q
physical process. It Is not remofse
brought about by continual thought
upon the Nervousness Of his crime that
drives a guilty man to confession. It
Is the nervous strain involved in long
effort to maintain his pretense Of In
nOcence, while he is in constant fear
that the police are in possession Of evil
dence that may prove his guilt. Some
thing like parallel case would be
that Of prizefghter who should sur
mise that his antagonist was playing
with him in the ring while capable of
sending in knockout blow at any
time he felt so inclined. Apprehension
that he was dealing with conditions Of
the nature Of which he was unaware
would eventually weaken the man in
that case. Tell suspected man who
is guilty that you have evidence Of his
guilt and that he will get nothing to
eat or will not be permitted to sleep
until he confesses, and unless he is
a particularly stupid fellow he will
know that you have no proof against
him and are only trying to get it. For
instance, show him ostentat iously the
weapon with which he may have killed
q man and tell him that you know all
about the crime and he would better
confess it. He will say to himself,
They haven't got sufficient evidence
to convict me and are trying to make
me furnish it, for if they had the evil
dence they wouldn't care whether I
encouraged to hold out. Also, if he
does confess under duress, he makes
a false confession, which he knows it
will be impossible to corroborate.
'Now, a guilty man in ninety-nine
cases out of hundred is not sure that
he has covered every trace Of his crime,
and he may readily be put into the
state Of mind of the man in Poe's
story Of The Telltale Heart wherein
he can't help believing that proof of
his guilt has been discovered and that
his cross examiners are hooking him
by pretending not to be aware of it.
Let the guilty man catch sight Of ar
implement with which his crime is as
ISOLATED in the possession Of the po
lice, which he believes has been I'M
Intentionally left where he sees it, and
it throws him into panic, because ht
does not know how they came by thu
weapon nor what else they may have
discovered demonstrating his guilt il
getting hold Of it. Perhaps he has con
cocted a story in his mind which tn,
, discovery of this weapon renders i'm
plausible, and he mentally puts to
gether and rejects one sequence of lie!
after another, wondering whether i
Is safe to take chances on this bit O.
Information or that being not in tn
5 possession Of the police. Then he i
, overwhelmed every few moments b,
e the thought that everything is know
and all his efforts are useless Tn
: guilty man in this condition is no lone
S er normal, and his collapse is only
matter Of time.'' = Frank Marshal

HE feed of the brood sows
through the winter should be
such as will keep them thrifty
and vigorous without becom-
ing fat. SO much has been said against
corn as food for brood sows that
many feeders omit it entirely, substi-
tuting more expensive feeds. This is
unnecessary. Corn ds one of the best
feeds that can be obtained for the
basis of the ration. It is rich in heat
and energy producing materials, fur
nishing these at less cost than they
can be obtained in any other food
