A GREAT HIGHWAY THROUGH
BRAZoS COUNTY.

On Wednesday of this week The
Eagle reprinted from the Galveston
News a Dallas special outlining a
plan for building a macadam road
from Red river to the gulf. Two routes
were proposed, the most direct and
the one preferred by the promoters
passing through Brazos county length
wise from north to south. Yesterday
several citizens of Bryan called on
The Eagle to discuss the matter which
they justly consider one of great i'm
portance, and in this opinion we heart
lily concur.
The News special stated that the
promoters of the enterprise are seek
ing the cooperation of the counties
through which the road is to pass,
that communications to this effect hao
been sent to the county judges of all
the counties and that favorable re-
plies had been received from all eX-
cept Robertson, BraZos and Grimes
The editor OF The Eagle called the
attention of Judge Board to the News
special. but he was so engaged at the
time that he could not consider it..
Later in the day reporter was sent
to ask if he had anything to say, but
he was still otherwise occupied, and
we have as yet heard nothing from
him.
The citizens who called on The
Eagle decided to get up a petition to
the commissioners court asking that
honorable body to take up the matter
Such movement is highly commend
able and will no doubt receive the
support of all public spirited citizens.
1t is well known that Judge Board
and the county commissioners are
giving much attention to road build
ing, and it is only necessary to con-
vince them that the plan is feasible.
And right here is the crux of the
matter-is it practicable to build a
macadam road lengthwise through
Brazos county? If it is not, that ends
the discussion; if it is, it ought to be
done The cost can be accurately as
certained only by a survey, but the
experience of Judge Board and the
commissioners will perhaps enable
them to make an estimate that would
be approximately correct-sufficient

the Farmers Union of Texas, adj
dressed a good roads meeting al Co.
manche Saturday in the interest OF
the 100000 road bond issue which
is on foot in that county. The bond
issue was recently defeated, but an
other election has been called, and it
is believed will carry by large ma
jority. The farmers of the state are
becoming actively interested in the
subject of good roads and the CO.
operation of the Farmers Union in
improving our public highways is en-
couraging to all advocates of good
roads in the state.
Good roads have money value TO
farmers as well as a political and So
cial value, and leaving out the refining
influences which they. have on a COM
munity, and looking at them only from
"a mercenary standpoint, they are
found to pay handsome dividends each
year
The different railroads running INTO
the Wharton country have been gath
ering statistics showing that $50 cars
of potatoes will be shipped from this
famous potato section this season, and
il is believed that the potato crop
this year will be fully two weeks in
advance of previous seasons. Texas
produces about 100000 bushels OF
potatoes per annum and supplies a
large percentage of the potatoes for
Northern markets.
The mule is the only animal that
did not enter Noah's Ark. BY good

draws the nations commerce.
The Texas oyster industry is to re-
ceive aid atathe hands of the federal
government. according TO information
sent out from the office OF the state
game warden at Austin. The entire
Texas coast is to be exploited by the
government with a view of plating
the oyster reefs along the coast. The
fish and oyster industry OF Texas is
assuming larger proportions each year
and the oyster beds of the Texas coast
have been pronounced equal to those
of the Atlantic coast by federal eX-
perts from time to time, and the fact
that Uncle Sam will give practical
assistance to the state in developing
this industry Is encouraging to all citi-
zens of the state.

CONTRIBUTED BY COMMERCIAL
SECRETARIES ASSOCIATION

A meeting of the commercial secre-
taries of the Brentwood section was
held at Brentwood, Thursday May 4,
for the purpose of perfecting a district
organization of commercial secre-
taries. The counties of Brown, Co
manche. Menard, Mccullough, Erath
and Hamilton were represented at the
convention. Mr. S. w. Strain, general
passenger agent of the Frisco, ad-
dressed the meeting on immigration.
The primary purpose of the organiza-
ton is to encourage the immigration
of new settlers from other states into
that section of Texas.
Life on a farm often becomes, as
result of "bottomless roads" isolated
and barren, and in many instances
ambition is checked, energy weakened
and industry paralyzed from this
cause. Build good roads.

to whether it should be undertaken.
The only great obstacle is the eX.
pense of material for the macadam.
Our information Is that there is no
accessible deposit of gravel that is
suitable to this purpose. The only
available source of supply seems to
be the quarry on George Dunlap
land, near Millican, from which the
broken stone for Main street was pro-
cured. The cost of quarrying, break
ing and distributing along the line
would be great, but whether greater
than the county could afford We are
not prepared to say. All we know is
that other counties in Texas, some of
them less wealthy than ~Brazos, have
built and are building macadam roads
in spite of difficulties as great as
those that confront us.
The value of such highway as the
one proposed can scarcely be over
estimated. 1t would turn the main
current of the great tide of overland
travel through the center of Brazos
county. Instead of two or three tour
list automobiles a week. we should
have ten times that many every day,
and every one would leave more or
less money. And better still, travel
ers would see the county and its re-
sources. which they can not do on the
railroad trains, and would tell of it
wherever they went Immigrants
would come and the value of the lands
along the road would be doubled and
trebled.
Then consider the advantages to
our home people. No other route than
the one proposed would serve so large
a number of farmers. 1t would be
main artery and in few years
branches would be extended to all
parts of the county. As it is, farmers
often lose the best market by not being
able to get to town through the mud.
With macadam roads, teams could
draw, on an average, more than twice
as much as they can pull on the dirt
roads. Think, too of the pleasure OF
travelling over good roads. The pro-
verbal profanity of teamsters would
be only a memory and the next gen
Grafton would deny that it ever eX-
listed. Every farmer would have his
auto and his wife and daughters could
come to town and do their shopping
in an afternoon. There would be no
lttering or defling of the streets, for
it would solve the corral problem.
Good roads made Rome the mistress
of the world, and good roads would
make Bryan the queen city OF South

LIFE'S LESSONS.

| learn as the years roll onward
And | leave the past behind,
That much / counted sorrow
But proves that God is kind;
That many a flower I'd longed for
Had hidden a thorn of pain,
And many rugged by-path
Led to fields of ripened grain.
The clouds that covered the sunshine,
They can not Danish the sun,
And the earth shines out the brighter
When the weary rain is done.
We must stand in the deepest shadow
To see the clearest light,
And often through wrongs own dark
ness
Comes the weary strength of light.
The sweetest rest is at even,
After wearisome day,
When the heavy burden of labor
Has been borne from our hearts
away;
And those who have never known
sorrow
Can not know the infinite peace
That falls on the troubled spirn
When il sees at last release.
We must live through the dreary
winter
If we would value the spring,
And the woods must be cold and silent
Before the robins sing;
The flowers must be buried in dark
ness
Before they can bud and bloom
And the sweetest, warmest sunshine
Comes after the storm and the
gloom

FERTILIZER EXPERIMENTS.

DR.. G.. S. Traps, state chemist Of
Texas and associate professor of agri-
cultural chemistry at A. & NJ. college,
finds great deal of interest through
out the state in cooperative fertilizer
experiments which are carried on I'M
der his direction every year. The
number of experiments are limited
only because the funds available to
provide the fertilizer are not sufficient
to take in as many farmers as part
ners in the cooperation as desire to
assist in demonstrating the worth of
fertilizers and the possibilities of
their soils under proper fertilization.

SUMNER NORMAL AT
A. G. M. COLLEGE.

Charles Puryear, dean of A. & NJ.
college, states that since the state law
has been changed so that teachers are
now required to stand an examination
in agriculture, many inquiries are
being received regarding the summer
normal. The A. & NJ college is better
equipped to teach agriculture than any
institution in Texas, as it is part OF
the regular curriculum. The faculty is
organized for the work, the labora-
tories are equipped and the plant life
necessary is available.
1t is believed the summer normal
at the college will be more largely at
tended this year than ever before

Women Who Travel.

Young girls in this country should con-
graduate themselves upon the safety and
freedom attendant upon their travelling
alone. The only possible exception to this
rule is in the south, where 1t is not con-
sidered good form to allow young wom-
an to go about unaccompanied. Even
this district is subject to the invasion of
the western and northern girl whose in
dependence of manner and attitude of
fearlessness and self sufficiency elimi-
nate the possibility of unpleasant atten-
ton, adverse comment or annoyance.
So much depends upon the girl herself
that no hard and fast rules can be given
to mothers who contemplate railroad
journey for their daughters. However, a
girl Of good judgment, without vanity and
with a faculty of selecting the right
friends. can be trusted to travel safely
alone.
In the south train acauaintanceship is
absolutely forbidden. In the east this
structure is tempered by extreme caution
of selection, puritanical line of con-
versation and the careful observance of
even the most inf1nitesmal formality. Be-
yond the Mississippi travellers meet each
other half way, go into the observation

Wedding Anniversaries.

Quite a difference of opinion exists
| as to the correct order OF wedding ami
versaries. The generally accepted ar
rangement in concentrating these hap
py events are: First year. paper: fifth
year. wooden; tenth year, tin; twelfth
year, leather: fifteenth year. crystal;
twentieth year, china; twenty-fifth year,
silver; thirtieth year. ivory: fortieth year.
year, golden, and seventy-fifth year, dia-
mond.
In sending gifts for these various occa-
sions something in. accordance with the
above rule should be selected. Among
the most appreciated gifts for the paper
wedding is q subscription for a good
magazine. a water color or etching. a
crepe paper luncheon set or anything hav-
ing paper as it's basis. There are so many
pretty and useful articles of wood that
this selection Is easy. For the tin we'd
ding kitchen ware is appropriate. Any
kitchen utensil is in order. aluminium
and granite being quite as we'll chosen as
tin.
Books are the best selection for the
leather event. The binding should be at
least half levant. and single leather
bound volumes are in good taste. Pocket
hooks. belts. travelling bags. sofa cushions
and library table covers Of leather are all
suitable. For the crystal wedding, useful
and ornamental pieces of cut glass. bits
Of Bohemian tinted glassware, anything
In glass for the dining room, parlor or
toilet table Is certain to be appreciated.
When 1t comes to china and silver the
selection is too wide to require even a
suggestion.
Ivory weddings are rare. but there
are some exquisite bits of ivory in the
Japanese, Chinese and oriental shops.
Ivory-handled parasols, canes and hand
carved canoes in rare settings are hand
some gifts.
Golden and diamond anniversaries call
for unusual celebrations. A couple who
have travelled this far along LIES highway
together are worthy the congratulations
of friends and should be handsomely re-
membered. BY no means should the gold
en- wedding day pass without some sort OF

the strength of the principals will allow.
pretty custom in vogue at these mile

A Cure for Frowning.

good way to cure ones self Of the
habit Of frowning is to observe the differ
ent expressions due to frowns in the
faces of the people we meet. The scowl,
given by two deep lines between the eyes;
the worried look, resulting from fur
dowed forehead: the sly expression, in
duced by squirting and causing tiny lines
to radiate from the corner of the eye.
all these and many more are the result
of frOwns. For while the beauty spe-
cialist Is able. with the help of hot ap-
plications. cold creams and much mas

when no amount Of persuasion on her
part or no amount of money extracted
