UNION HILL.

The people of Union Hill have noted
with much pleasure the nice things
1.-THE Eagle has had to say about them,
and also notice that some of the state
papers have copied from the dear old
Eagle. or course, We are proud TO
know that our efforts are meeting
with approval and we also thank The
Eagle for the just claim that we are
the founders of Fathers Day, at least
in Texas. We are going to have a
grand day on the second Sunday in
November in honor of the dear old
fathers.
Crops are good A little rain would
help, and feel sure we will have it
in a day or so.
We are going to have a box supper
on Friday, June 2, commencing at $3.50
p. m. Everybody is invited to be pres
ent and to buy box, and as many of
the ladies of Bryan and College that
will contribute boxes will be appre-
ciated, and We want the boys and men
to be on hand so as to buy and eat
supper with some lady or girl. Come
hungry, for we will be fixed TO feed
you. This is for the help of religious
work at the Hill
Brother Nash will preach at the Hin
Saturday night at $50 o'clock. We
hope to see many out.
The league meeting Sunday night
was grand. The house was comfort
ably filled and we noticed some from
Bryan and College 1t is becoming a
great factor in spreading brotherly
love and good cheer, the motto being:
The Lord Is My Shepherd Bring
out The Eagle force on the 2nd and
we promise you nice treat.
We are trying to get our crops in
good fix so as to attend the commence
ment at A. & NJ. college. This grand
institution We all feel a deep interest
in. And here allow me to say, as one
who knows, the farmers of old Brazos
should take one day off and come and
see how their college is progressing;
and | assure them if they come this
year they will come again next year.
Come in wagons, by the interurban
or walk, and take the exercises in for
at least one day.

PREVENTING HAllSTORMS.

Experiments made In various parts
of Europe and America for the pre-
vention of haistorms by creating an
explosive disturbance OF the air have
proven successful The question of de-
Tense against hail was solved when 1t
was proposed to combat it with cleo
tricity. Powder was first used in this
way on the assumption that it would
cause rain, and later that it would pre-
vent the formation of hail A few
years ago experiments at Monza, Italy,
and Freistritz, Germany, proved con
clusively that a mortar of gunpowder
could adequately protect circular
space some two thousand feet in diam
eter from hail Our Texas cultivators
of the vine and field, who suffer much
injury almost yearly from devastating
hailstorms, should place themselves in
readiness to combat them.
After all, the idea is not absolutely
modern or original The ancient
Romans used, like us, artificial clouds
of smoke to protect their vines from
nocturnal frosts, and would doubtless
have also used hail protector-mortars
had powder been invented in their day.
But although the Romans had not
these mortars, it is plainly shown by
ancient accounts that various farmers
of the seventeenth century used the
explosion of powder to prevent hail
from falling on their fields.-San An

A good place to feel the pulse of
civic life is at the public drinking
trough. The ebb and flow of animal
life as it quenches its thirst at the
public fountains gives us an estimate
of the wealth, population and pros
perity of the community the charac-
ter, habits and occupation of its peo-
pie and the utility, pleasure and hard
ships of its citizens. There is no bet
ter place to study the progress of a
community than at the town pump
Every village in Texas should have a
town pump and every city with water
works should have drinking fountam>
where a stream of pure running water

Good roads promote social inter

and increase the happiness and pros

thing for nothing leads to greed in
business, and unless restrained some
times results in crime, but every
property owner in Texas can get some
thing for nothing in a perfectly legiti-
mate way by joining in the crusade
for improving and extending our
transportation facilities. Improving
public highways adds three times
their cost to contiguous lands, build
ing new railroads adds $4,000 per
mile to adjoining property, and inn
proving waterways increases property
values. Improving public highways
and building railroads is the only way
of getting something for nothing, and
the property owners of Texas can get
rich by improving and increasing their
transportation facilities.
High freight rates are not as heavy
a tax on the shippers of grain and
stock as bad roads
The manifold services, charities,
blessings and beauties flowing from
growing useful trees and plants can
never be accurately enumerated"
says f. w. Kirkpatrick, of Mckinney,
the veteran pecan grewer, and the
home orchard or Edenic garden, which
must attach to every perfect home,
marshals elements of strength, knowl-
edge, wisdom, skill, of JOY and peace
which can be secured from no other
source" There is scarcely any legiti-
mate investment that promises more
returns than does a pecan orchard; it
is easily managed at a small cost, and
by working in crops during the wait
ing period. it can be properly called a
self-sustaining business from the
start.
The present tendency of population
to rush into the great cities makes
