CAPT. MOSES H0N0RED BY
A. { N. COLLEGE DIRECTORS
Strong Resolutions Commencing His
Work During His Four Years
Term at the College.

The board of directors of A. & NJ.
college adopted, without a dissenting
vote, the following resolutions regard.
ing Capt. Andrew Moses, who is about
10 retire as professor of military
science:
Whereas, the Agricultural and Me-
chanical College of Texas has been
most fortunate in having as professor
OF military science and tactics for the
past four years Capt. Andrew Moses,
Coast Artillery Corps, U. S. A., who
has devoted his best energies to the
upbuilding of the military department,
who has watched with careful judg-
ment that has been conservative and
wise the discipline of rapidly in
creasng cadet corps, who has been
one of the most capable members Of
the faculty; and,
Whereas, the decision of the war de-
partment that his tour of duty can
not be extended beyond the college
year now about to close, but that he
must return to his command. the
board of directors of the college, de-
string to officially commend his work,
does adopt the following:
Resolved. That we believe that in
sending to this college Capt. Andrew
Moses. of the Coast Artillery Corps,
to have charge of the work in military
science, the war department gave the
institution an officer than whom there
is no more energetic, more capable,
more earnest or who shows more fldel-
ity to duty. He began his service at
a time when the student body was but
half what it is today; under his dlrec-
tion the military organization has
grown from q battalion to regiment;
it has advanced from one of ordinary
college rank to the highest rank con-
ferred by the war department, that
of distinguished institution a rating
that is the pride of the students, Of
ficers, friends and alumni of the insu'
tuition. He has served the college as
the head of the discipline committee
at times when the life of the institu'
ton was in jeopardy, yet to his de-
partment at all times was the proper
courtesy shown by everyone. He has
been valuable member of the fac
ulty; he has made one of the college
community in all social affairs, and
his coming has been of benefit and his
departure is an event that has our
regret.
Resolved, That the secretary of the
board be instructed to forward copy
of these resolutions to the war depart
ment, TO be filed with the record OF
Capt. Andrew Moses, and that a copy
suitably inscribed, signed by the pres
ident and secretary of the board, be
presented to Captain Moses.
Done officially at College Station,
Texas. this June II, 1911.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN
CONDITION OF |. G. G. NJ.
Judge Freeman Has Untangled the
Kinks and Practically Rebuilt and
Equipped the Road.
[sneclal 10 The Rryan Eagle. !

Austin, Texas, March 15.-Within
the past three years, with Judge
Thomas J. Freeman as receiver, the
International G Great Northern rail
road has made the most remarkable
improvement. This line stretching
across the entire state Of Texas from
Laredo, on the Rio Grande. to the
northern border of the state, has been
one of the important factors in the
development of the Southwest. On
May 1G, unless there is some postpone
ment by the court the road will be
cleared of its $receivership and turned
into the hands of the new purchasers.
During the time that Judge Freeman
has been at the head Of the manage
ment the property, which was run
down and dilapidated, has been prac-
tically rebuilt.
Soon after his appointment as re-
ceiver Judge Freeman borrowed $780,
600 for the purpose of meeting inter-
est on the first mortgage bonds. This
obligation has been met out of the
earnings, and in addition to this $780,
600 of equipment notes have been can
celled by payment in full. During the
lllllt ~ lO1OllOllNtS anu wv IVA Ne.a -
have been purchased. Thirty miles of
new rails have been laid and 100000
ties have taken the place OF the old
ones. Other Improvements paid out OF
earnings include $50 miles of ballast
ing with stone, gravel and shells. and
the rebuilding of bridges, and the con-
version of locomotives from coal to oil
burners over 500 miles of the com
pany's lines. The rolling stock has
been kept in standard condition, and
all motive power made commensurate
with demands.
Since Judge Freeman has shown
that the International & Great North
ern can be operated at profit, it is
understood that he is mentioned in
railroad circles as a probable sue
cessor to George Gould, the retired
head of the Missouri Pacific system.

COTTON AND WOOL.

The human race gets its clothing
from cotton and wool, and Texas is
a worlds factor in both these products.
We produce 20 per cent of the cotton
supply Of the world and are in the
front rank of states on wool produc-
ton. The worlds supply and consump-
ton of textiles is therefore of Interest
to every citizen in Texas, as the future
prosperity of our state must depend
largely upon cur development Of these
lines of industry.
According 10 the reports Of the fed
eral agricultural department for 1909,
just recently announced, there were
S.505.191 600 pounds OF cotton and p
sos ,622. 900 pounds of wool raised in
the world We have something over
1900. 000,0 600 people on the globe, which
gives us a supply of 81 pounds of cot
ton and II pounds OF wool per capita.
Combined. this supply will not exceed
one ordinary suit of clothes per annum
per capita, and he who possesses a
larger wardrobe must do so at the eX-
pense of a naked barbarian. We have
silk and other fibers used for clothing
but a norton of the cotton and wool
goes into rope, bagging, carpets and
other household and commercial art-
Giles. and it rs likely that the figures
above quoted furnish an average allot-
ment per capita for clothing textiles
available for wear.
Both. of these fibers are necessitie:
Of the human race, and both must
pass through the factory before they
can be placed in the hands of the con
| sumner.
The cotton area is limited to Texas
and a few other Southern states,
which gives us control of production
forever and places in our hands two o
the most powerful agencies in ciyillza
tion-the pillow and the factory. Ma
ture has given us the corner-stones o
an empire. and it is up to the people
of Texas to build up civilization tina
surpasses anything on the globe

THE METHODIST REVIVAL

The inclement weather last evening
prevented large audience from being
present at the revival services at the
First Methodist church, but It was
genuinely spiritual time. The song
service was marked with even more
enthusiasm than usual. Possibly not
one in the house failed to respond to
Mr.. Fishers invitation to sing.
The sermon by Rev. Finn on Gods
Jealousy" was strong presentation
of the long and demanding aspects OF
Gods love. He pictured God as a
sutton pressing His case at the altar
of mans soul. He closed with a por-
trayal of Holman Hunts famous paint
ing, Christ at the Door" At the con-
clusion of the sermon Mr.. Fisher sang
rs Jesus Satisfied with Me?" 1t was
truly forceful and heart-searching.
There was one conversion.
The service this morning was a
splendid one. The sermon on "A Bad
Bargain was pointed and personal,
the theme being Esaus sale of his
birthright. Rev Finn said that some
folks laugh at the folly of Esau in sell
ing out so cheaply, while they them
selves have sold out for great deal
less. Some have sold their Christian
influence for a little reimbursement;
some have sold out their influence in
their homes for few dollars, and
hers are selling out their souls for
worldly pleasure At the conclusion of
the sermon several took a stand for
Christ a great many asked for prayer
and a host of Christians promised to
pray earnestly for them.

Mr.. S. C. Woiton today butchered
Yorkshire hog, which was one OF the
largest ever seen by The Eagle re.
porter who was invited to inspect the
animal. After being butchered and
scraped the hog was hoisted by means
of a block and tackle, and 1t required
the united efforts of three men to
raise him from the ground. When
placed on the scale, after being
dressed, he tipped the beam at o9S
pounds. Mr.. Woiton dryly remarked
that the hog was eighteen months old
today and that he decided to butcher
him before he got grown.

PARAGRAPHS CONTRIBUTED BY
COMMERCIAL SECRETARIES

A comparison of farming conditions
in Texas with those of Germany show
that the size of an average farm IN
Texas is 307 acres, or more than eight
cen times as large as the average Ger
man farm, which is only 10 acres. The
German farmer is considered the
thriitiest in the world, and on his IL
acres of land, by using intensified
farming methods, utilizing every inch
of space and by rotation OF crops,
can produce as much or more than is
raised on a farm of twice the size IN
any other country on the globe. The
Texas farms could be made to produce
enough to feed the population or the
entire United States, If the best and
most intesified methods of agriculture
of European countries were applied,
and still have surplus for export.
The soil of Texas is compared to an
investment fund which. under proper
management. may be continually in
creased from its annual earnings. with
the ever-increasing population OF
Texas the time will soon come when
the farm land now in use in the state
must be handled more intensiyely and
more effectively, and each acre must
be made to produce to its maximum
capacity the crops for which it is best
suited.
The man with the COW is becoming
almost as popular in Texas as the man
with the hoe and the demand for pure
milk and dairy products OF all kind'
is growing larger every day. Inc
United States department OF agricul
ture estimates that 1000 pounds OF but
ter. which is worth $500, takes less
than 80 cents worth of plant food from
the ground, and that the industry /!
one of the most profitable in which
the Southern farmer can engage. Th'
opportunities for dairying in Texas are
almost unlimited, and with the excel
lent ranges and plenty of domestic
grasses there is no reason why tht
Texas dairyman should not prospe
without being subject to the proven
bal charge of watering his stock.
Texas is so large, with such varied
conditions of soil, climate and marke
that more specific aid by the govern
ment to the farmer seems not only
necessity, but is the most commend
able expenditure that the state cal
make.
