MVEY SWEPT THE FIELD
Captured Blue Ribbons at San An.
tonic in Both Community and
Individual Exhibits.

The Eagle is in recent of a mes.
sage today from Mr.. w. II. McVey
of Minter Springs, near Wellborn, who
is at the San Antonio fair with his
exhibits, stating that he won first pre.
MUM for the best individual agricul-
tural exhibit and first for the best
community display.
Mr.. McVey has exhibited at San An.
tonic every fair for several years, and
has never yet failed to win a large
percentage of the premiums. When
he left with his exhibit last week he
stated to The Eagle reporter that he
had the very best in a great many
different products of the farm, orchard
and garden that he had ever taken to
San Antonio, and that he would get
the blue ribbons His telegram shows
that he has made good.
In the individual exhibit he showed
what he raised on his own farm, and
in the community exhibited the very
best from the farms OF his neighbors
II was indeed a fine showing and all
who have visited the fair from here
spoke highly of his exhibit and felt
assured that he would win out

THE STRIKE AND THE CHURCH

Let us introduce TO you Rev. II. NJ
Whaling of Houston, Texas, pastor of
a successful Methodist church. As
there's no filter way in which to in
troduce minister than by telling
what he breaches, listen to these ex-
cerpts from Rev. Whaling's sermons:
"A strike is only a stride in the
direction of an ideal This is a fact
of the utmost concern to the church
of Jesus Christ, which is an institu-
ton that exists TO proclaim the high.
est ideals and to project them by di.
vine help into human lives and the
social order.
And just as all through the ages
bodies of aspiring men have been
known TO strike for freedom or for
right, so labor unions sometimes
strike. And when they do, the church
of Jesus Christ ought to be in SYM
pathetic touch with them, seeking to
understand their contentious, and to
make sure that they always have d
just case and a law-abiding spirit.
"A body of men who are willing to
undergo great suffering and heavy de.
malls in order to right conditions in
human society, have in them a strain
of heroism of which Jesus Christ can
make splendid use,
And the demand of the unions 70:
recognition is a thoroughly Christian
thing, necessary in order that the
proper balance may be maintained in
the state between the employing
classes and the workers.
The church should rejoice that the
of labor is becoming
more complete"
Rather remarkable pulpit utter.
ances. aren't they?-S Shreveport U.aJ
Times.
And it came to pass when Jesus
lad ended these sayings the people
were astonished at his doctrine"
But the common people heard him
gladly"

city, and this alone is enough to make
| it interesting. Without regard to its
merits, Mr.. White is to be commend
ed because, instead of whining and
begging help from others, he proposes
plan the object of which is to pro
vide a way for the farmers to help
themselves. This is beginning at the
right place, for if the farmers are ever
emancipated they must assert them
selves in some more effective way
than by holding meetings and passing
resolutions.
The Southern states have a natural
monopoly of cotton production, just as
Brazil has of coffee. A few years ago
the coffee planters were in as bad a
predicament as the cotton farmers are
now, but the Brazilian government
came to the rescue and provided
way to hold the distress coffee off the
market. 1t may be that such a plan
would be "unconstitutonal" in this
country, for most of the federal courts,
and some of the state courts also,
have the habit of deciding that any
thing that is for the benefit of the
common people is unconstitutional.
The Eagles arm is short and its
voice is weak, but its sympathies are
all with the toilers and it is always
ready to do what it can to help them.

A belated news item with a New
York date, which was received yes
terday after The Eagle had gone t
press, says; THE United States cir
cult court approves the main features
of the dissolution plan of the Ameri
can Tobacco Company" This means
that the court allowed the tobacco
trust to fix up the plan to suit itself.
Was there ever a bigger farce than
prosecution of the
trusts?

The Reason Why.

st. Louis was at one time larger
than Chicago and even now possesses
big advantages over Chicago: but the
lawmakers of Missouri and st. Louis
were great regulators and filled their
Legislature with political lawyers, who
made laws to hold up" big firms and
capital generally.-Arlington Journal
There was a time also when Orange
was larger than Beaumont. It was not
for the reason assigned in the case o.
Chicago and st. Louis which KEEP;
Orange back and pushed Beaumont
ahead 1t was lack of unity on the
part of Orange citizens and a com.
pact, community spirit which deyel
oped Beaumont-Beaumont Enter

One of the most surprising features
.of Tuesdays elections was the gains
made by the socialists, who elected
the mayors of ten second-class cities

nearly won the lieutenant governor

aries should succeed in their efforts
to control the conventions of both the
old parties the socialist vote will be

EMMET YOUNG
ARE YOU SURE
YOU'RE DEAD
Object of Story in Greeley Papers
Yesterday Still a Mystery
Guess Coming

Who is Emmet Young. and why
should he or anybody else wish to
post as dead one?
This is the question that rises in
the minds of newspaper folks and
residents of the country west OF
Eaton, where the young man work
Cd up till recently. Somebody re-
ported him as dead and buried in
yesterdays local papers. All at
tempts to verify the story with
coroner, undertakers and OF the
railroad company which was said to
have shipped the body resulted in
failure to learn more than that such
. person really did exist. He left
his last known place of employment
. few weeks ago.
Was it Emmett lung himself
who called at the Greeley newspaper
offices and gave the story, and If So
why did he want to send the impress
sion abroad that he had been acci-
dentally killed and his body shipped
east? Was it somebody else who
wanted to get even with the young
man, and if so, where is the alleged
victim? Good guessers are invited
to send their solution to this paper

Attempts to Remove Full Tire From
Automobile With Serious
Results

Eaton, Aug. 22-Roy Valentine
will never attempt to take off an
other auto tire unless it is fiat to
begin with. He nearly lost his life
in the first trial of the sort yester-
day.
Valentine had recently bought an
auto from y. r. Smith OF Greeley
One of the tires was badly worn and
Mr.. Valentine decided TO replace it
before starting on a long trip. TAX
ing the old one along for use in
case of emergency. Not being fa-
miliar with automobiles it did not
occur to him that tires were usually
removed because they were fiat, and
he did not deflate the one he was
attempting to remove. He went
bravely at the job, however, and
after the rim had been loosened the
tire exploded, and struck him fair
across the forehead. cutting deep
cash and knocking him senseless. 1t
TOOK nearly as much work by the
surgeon to repair his head as it did
by the man at the garage to mend
the exploded tire At last reports

pretty we'll, considering. Horell was
out OF the game and Hagerman was
on first.
The visitors generally had men on
the bases and they kept coming in
all along through the game.
Baxter generally allows the Spuds
three hits a game but this time he
was a little more liberal, a scratch
hit making the total four. Greeley
scored first in the fourth on a base
on balls, an out and a hit. The
other run came in the sixth on a
passed ball after a base on balls.
Baxter famed eight. In the last
