In the report of the American SUI
gar Refining company graduated sugar
is quoted for export at 1910 per hun
bred pounds and for home consump-
ton at $3.50 per hundred pounds. In
other words, according to the state
ment of the secretary of the sugar
trust, the foreigner gets thirty-two
and quarter pounds of graduated
sugar for dollar while the wholesale
price to Americans Is twenty and two
fifths pounds for a dollar The differ
ence, of course, goes into the pockets
of the sugar refiners. Yet those who
advocate a protective tariff tell us we
ought to smile sweetly when we pay
the toll and count it blessed privi
lege to be robbed

DIR. RANKIN CoNTRADICTS r. M.
JOHNSON.

About two weeks ago in an open let
ter, Col. r. M. Johnson stated that be-
fore deciding to support Railroad Com
missioner Colquitt in his c~..didacy for
governor he had ascertained that Mr..
Colquett was unObjectionable to
Senator Bailey" In the latest num-
Der of Home and State, after reciting
the history of Colquitts attempted
revolution against Bailey through the
medium of the Farmers Union, DR..
Rankin declares: yet, Col. John
son says that Colquett will be unob-
jectionable to Senator Bailey. This
is astounding. We know from the
senator's own lips that Colquitt is OBJ
jectionable to him on all parts of the
ground. Col Johnson need not think
he can fool Bailey's real friends into
supporting Colquitt. Colquitt has al
ways been opposed to Bailey, is OPP
posed to him now, and will be opposed
to him should he get the nomination
for governor. This is well known to
every man in this section of the state
who is posted"
Here is clear-cut issue of verac-
ity between two of the junior senators
oldest and staunchest supporters, I'M
less the senator himself has made
statements that are contradictory.
Naturally it has caused sensation,
for it places each of the three parties
concerned in an embarrassing position.
In the absence of statement from
Senator Bailey many people will be-
lieve that he has set his traps, facing
one way in North Teas and the oppo-
site way in South Texas, so as to
"catch 'em agyin and acummin."

Our Smetana correspondent men,
tions the fact that many of the large
boys have quit school to pillow, while
the large girls are staying with their
books. This is only one instance Of
a condition that has become common
all over the country, and is causing Sc
rious concern to many thoughtful PEG.
pie. Already there are more educated
women than men, and the disparity is
increasing. The relative decrease in
the number of marriages is no doubt
partly due to this condition, also the
growing antagonism between the
sexes. Is it true that woman is to be
dominant and that man is to be either
her servant or her pet, as she may
choose? This is one of the problems
confronting the next generation.

TWO OPINIONS OF OUTSIDERS.

We may be wrong, but our impress
sion is that the A. and NJ. College
professors are going to be sorry when
the trolley line between College Sta
tion and Bryan is completed. Oh,
how easy it will be to hop on car
and run up to Bryan any old day
Beaumont Journal.
Those A. and NJ. boys are a sturdy
lot and are too busy to hop a trolley
car and run up to Bryan at unseason-
able hours. Surely those who are liv-
ing in tents are there to learn, and
will not waste precious time that way.
But when the line is built it will be
more convenient for the boys to hop
trolley car when they have business
at Bryan than to foot it in.-Fort
Worth Star-Telegram.
The boys are under military discip-
line and never leave the campus with
out permission. Commandant Moses
is a martinez, but nevertheless he is
very popular.

VALUE OF BULLETINS.

A noted agriculturist says that he
has noticed that the best informed
farmers live in the most prosperous
communities and he attributes the
fact to the spreading of agricultural IN
formation by means of bulletins. lie
says:
have noted one thing in partieu'
lar while travelling in several OF our
best agricultural states, and that Is,
when | see a number of well-dressed
farmers discussing beef and milk ra'
tions feeding young animals for "a
healthy development, nitrogen, potas-
stun and phosphorus and protein, car
bohydrates and their uses and func-
tions in plant and animal growth,
am invariably in a prosperous and up
to-date agricultural community.
Now, the question is this; Do the
best and the most intelligent farmers
read these bulletins and keep in touch
with their station workers, or does
the reading of these bulletins and keep
ing in touch with these station work
ers make better and more intelligent
farmers?
It is one or the other considered
from either standpoint, for these bull
letins are not ready by the uneducated
and unprogressiye farmers, nor do they
circulate in poor farming sections as
freely as they do in the better agri-
cultural communities.
The difficulty is that we do not full
ly realize or appreciate the magnificent
work that many of our station work
ers are accomplishing toward elevat-
ing the agriculture of our country.
The successful station worker mast be
a searcher after truth and the success
ful farmer must have a disposition to
learn the truth and practice it in mis-
every day management.
Efforts are just as essential on the
part of the individual himself as they
are upon the part of the station work
ers. | suggest, therefore, that while
we hold the station workers to prac-
teal and vigorous work we farmers
ourselves must consult our own inter
ests by giving careful and thoughtful
consideration to all the facts that these
learned men lay before us, either to
approve and utilize or to form basis
Of criticism or inquiry.
From the demand for bulletins that
is coming to the chamber of COM
merce there should be an awakening
among the farm tosreifh shrdlu ia
among the farmers Of this section
that should spell prosperity. It Is the |
desire of the secretary that every |
'armer in this section should be req.
resented on his lists to receive these |
agricultural bulletins-Be Beaumont En-
erprise.

Most people who study religion OF
politics at all do so with the object OF
finding arguments 70 support a pre-
viously formed opinion. The more one
studies in this way the farther he
goes from the truth. The ideal man or
woman is one who wants to know the
truth whether it accords with his pre-.
vious opinion or not.

KANSAS CITY LIVE STOCK.

Kansas City Stock Yards, March a..
Cattle prices moved up 10 to 20
cents last week, a steady gain from
day to day, except on Tuesday, when
the buyers had their only advantage
of the week Moderate receipts every
where, and prospects of continued
light runs, together with a good out
/ let for the beef are the leading fea-
lures of situation that looks encour-
aging for sellers. Hogs and sheep
have reached a price that causes con-
sumers to take more kindly to beef.
The supply today here is 10000 cattle,
and the market is strong TO 10 higher.
Strictly prime cattle are not included
in the offerings today, else the top
would be at $500 or better in the ma
tive division. Some quarantine year
lings, weighing 1,066 pounds, sold here
today at $775, a new high record for
cattle from below the quarantine line
Other shipments from the restricted
territory in Oklahoma sold at $3.50
and $3.50, with quite a string at 1925
to $500, and quarantine bulls at $500
The best natives here brought S770,
bulk steers $3.50 to $3.50, and very few
steers. under 1925. Packers are pay
ing more for the steers that could be |
finished in a hundred days than coun-
try buyers are willing to pay, in most |
cases. Choice heifers bring $500; top !
cows $780, and bulk of she stuff, S5.25
to 1925; bulls at $40 to $3.50, and
calves not much changed from a week
ago at $3.50 to $500 for veals. A
string of the Kemper and Wertz Colo
RADIO steers from the sugar mnis at
Garden City, Kansas, sold today al
800, other Colorado fed steers at $3.50
TO $500; Colorado feeders at $3.50: :
the latter the top on feeders today.
Stock steers range from $3.50 to 5000, !
feeders, $3.50 and upwards.
The big advance of 80 cents per
,wt. on hogs last week failed to swell
he supply, and it is conceded now
hat price of twelve cents per pound
,ould not do any more in that direc-
ion than is being done at this time
Run is 1000 here today, market about
steady, hogs weighing over 200 pounds
1t s10.35 to 1860; weights under 200
pounds at S1O.1O to s1O.45; pigs, $3.50
