WHAT ARE WE GOING TO
DO WITH THE WEEDS

Come, let us reason together upon
this matter for a few minutes. At
first thought you say, Let the city cut
the weeds in the street" Let us see.
Now, in Bryan there are over one
hundred miles OF streets. The city
has one moving machine and it would
take many days to cover the city. In
the meantime many of the weeds have
matured and produced a thrifty crop
of seed for next year. On the other
hand. there are some fifteen hundred
OF us men with as many machines If
each man cuts the weeds in front Of
his place the weeds can be cut down
in the entire city in thirty minutes
The city will cut the weeds, but when?
The question is, one city, one man
and one machine, or fifteen hundred
men and fifteen hundred machines?
Now figure. What do you say to every
man in the city taking a weapon at
Z O'Clock Wednesday morning and
shifting the enemy? Now, this means
everybody. This means vacant lots
and everywhere. l.. NJ. II.

TIME TO GO FISHING.

After the recent rains, with the
streams full of water, reports come in
that the fish are biting freely, and be-
fore we know it an argument is going
on within us that makes the battle of
Juarez look like thirty cents. The
question for discussion is, Shall we
knock off and go fishing?" The time
for fishing is at hand. We long to
leave the hot streets and the cares of
business and sit on the shady bank of
the creek, and with the bait floating
