enee. His temper is as even as the
balance of the scales of the blind god
dess of Justice and his disposition is
as sunny as a perfect day in June. with
all these other qualities he is as grace
full as the Tapping Of the stars ana
stripes from the top OF high nag
STAFF in a stiff breeze, and he IS as
ornate as a $4,000 picture tguarah-
teed not to be an imitation).
Astin fits his senatorial seat as even
ly and as nicely as glove nus the
hand of the debutante. He was eVi-
IDENTIFY intended by fate to be hrst a
senator and then If the congressional
districts are carved with an eye aimed
at the eternal fitness Of things to be
something else as honorable and a
sight more remunerative.
And those teeth-Astln's teeth!
They are gems of ivory imbedded IN a
well-shaped mouth. One can almost
imagine seeing a full-page advertise
ment of some tooth paste on the Dack
of a popular and widely circulated
magazine whenever Astin smiles
which is not infrequent enough &c
cause him to be accused OF being sci
fish-so perfect are these implements
of mastieation he owns and possesses
This Is the first term Senator Astlr
has ever experienced in the Texas leg
Iislature, but from the excellent man
ner he is working in the new harness
one would be perfectly justified IL
thinking that he has been laboring a
his present job since Dobbin was
colt.
And speaking of Astin reminds M
of the one best bet. AS the one hes
bet Astin is the one best catch in tn
legislature. Just how he has all thes
years withstood the Vaccinations O
fond mammas and the adoring glance
of delightful damoselles is a niyster
that Is as hard to understand as
that of electricity. Are you in trouble
Tell it to Astin, he is an anodyne. Ar
you sorely pressed? Appeal to Astir
the great alleviator Are you broke
Ask Astin and he will furnish the ar
esthetic to put your worries to sleeI
No wonder he is beloved and ha
such benign countenance. He is tn
salt of the earth tie human s1lve TO
wounded feelings. And such a man a
this bachelor? POUNDS, but the time
are out of tune!

PARAGRAPHS CONTRIBUTED BY
COMMERCIAL SECRETARIES.

Texas has 400 miles of gulf coast
and 1000 miles of inland waterways
susceptible to navigation. Texas ports
rank among the first in the South ana /
a large percentage of the commerce OF
the South is carried on through Texas
ports. According to statistics 1ur
nished by the Manufacturers RECORD,
of Baltimore, exports passing through
Texas ports in 1910 amounted to s2lo,-
744.S7O. an increase of S196,370,21l dur
ing the past two decades; imports
through Texas ports amounted in 1917
to s15,456,709, which is an increase or
s13,OSO,016 during the past TWO de-
cades. A pleasing feature is that in
several instances Texas ports which
were not opened to commerce when
the last census was taken are now
among the leading seaports of the
South.
The scientist in giving the farmer
improved varieties of products, and
the inventor in giving us machinery
that reduces the cost of production,
have performed great service to the
farmers, but the telephone, warm. from
the creative mind of the inventive
genius, is destined to companion in
utility and convenience all human ac-
complishments for the intelligent pro-
motion of agriculture.
The historical phase of agriculture
is first the soil robber; second, dimin.
ished production per acre; third, the
agricultural scientist who points the
way to better and larger production
per acre. In Texas we have all three
of these processes in operation on
gigantic scane and as the proportion
of these classes of lands vary in re
Ilation to the entire cultivated area o
each crop the average production pei
acre has varied.
We have millions and millions o
acres OF fresh land, but there is NJ
economic reason why we should ro'

generation, and our wornout farr

The competition of fresh land RAJ

The Eagle is owned by corpora
ton. but as yet the bulk of the stock
is held by the partners before incor-
poration. This ought not to be SO,
but it is not the fault of the manage
ment that it is so. For three years
the editor and his associates have
been planning and working to get the
business on a basis where its future
would not be dependent on any one
or two men. Every business man IN

That little railroad from Rusk to
Palestine, which Governor Campbell
built with the school children's money
and which has never paid expenses,
should be sold without delay. Or
course, the state can hope to get only
small part of what it has cost to
build and operate it, but even giving
it away would be better than keeping
it and running it at loss.

The business men of Caldwell, the
capital of Burleson county, have done
the sensible thing in organizing
stock company for the purpose of
buying and consolidating the two
weekly papers published there. A

ness men of the community it serves,

The suggestion that the United

CUTTING EXPENSES
At THE CITY HALL
THREE IN THE POLICE DEPART
MENT LET OUT-OTHERS MAY
FOLLOW.

Well, The reduction began Friday
afternoon, and in the future the pay.
roll of the city will not be so large
Nor is that all, there are several more
city servants who. in the vernacular
OF the street, feel themselves slip
ping" and they may be hunting for
other employment ere long. The po-
lice department was the one to init
ate the movement and yesterday re
duced the force by suspending Patrol
man Butcher, Police Matron Mrs. Arch
Campbell and Night Sergeant Page.
Commissioner Ikard said yesterday
that there might he others to follow
in the near future but did not inti-
mate who they would be- 1t is his in
tcntion to keep within the salary lin,

salary of the Iolice has gone far
above that.

ing his last weeks duty and next Sat
urday night will relinquish his office
in favor of his assistant, Otto Brad
ford. This is done to effect a saving
in this department.
The fire department will suffer no
reduction in the force, as they are
now running with as few men as is
possible TO give efficient service.
# is rumored that the commissioner
of streets and alleys will trim his
force OF men and teams in order to
cut expenses in this department. Thus
the running will go merrily on and f
the cut can be made without impair
ing the service Of these various de
partments the taxpayers of the city
will be that much better off as they
figure that every little bit helps.
