COLLEGE ROAD DEVELOPMENT,

A reporter of The Eagle was at
A. & VI. college this morning and on
the way out noticed two new houses
in course of erection. The first is on
the Polk place in the southern city
limits and the other is at Union Hill.
Both will be neat cottage homes when
completed. Neither of these houses is
directly on the interurban (both are
on the College road, but both are in
easy access of the cars, the distance
from the car line being only about two
city blocks. 1t will be a great thing
for Bryan when the entire country be
tween here and the college is built
up with homes, and this much desired
end will soon be accomplished if the
property owners will dispose of their
land at reasonable prices.

basis, to secure new equipment and
to offer to the students as good COM
mercial training as can be secured in
any city in the state.

CIVIC PRIDE

Many pages have been written
lately. relative to the beautltylng
of cities and the results nave
been good. The city IN when
YOU live should occupy a position
in your thoughts second only 10
70 the home itself. Every cyl
dence of progressiveness is a
living advertisement to prcspec-
tors that civic pride abounds
within and draws one to the con-
clusion that large development
will follow.
Mankind, in his primatiye state
was an inhabitant of the woods.
Mankind. in his higher advance
ment, possesses many OF his
original attributes and therefore
man. even to this good day, loves
to roam in the silent depth OF
some forest. To satisfy this in
born desire of the race, there
is nothing more appropriate than
the planting Of a tree. If you
should plant only one, and tend
1t well, and your neighbor should
do the same, it would not be long
until the plains would be trans
formed into a veritable forest
and mankind would look with
pride upon his handiwork.
Let's each add our mite toward
making a city beautiful by plant
ing and tending at least one
tree.
One Of the most beautiful
stories Of modern times is re-
garding a Holllnder who was
sent as an ambassador from ms
country to a desert isle in the
north sea. It was a bleak, cheer
less island and he called the few
people who were there together
and proposed that they plant
trees. Strange 10 say he seem
ed 10 stand alone in his desire
But nothing dauuted him, he be-
gan by planting one hundred
trees the first year and finding
that they would grow he planted
a similar amount each year fol
several years. Finally .taers
seeing his success became enthu
sed and the result is, TO-DAY the
once barren isle is covered with
a great variety of beautiful trees
and the people who live thereare
contented with their lot.
The most enduring monument
that one may build is found iu a
labor for the comforts of future
generations Plant a tree Add
10 the sum of human happiness

1t is not generally known that mush-
rooms on account of the amount Of
nitrogen they contain approach nearer
to animal food than many other vege-
table products. An analysis made by
Professor Atwood shows that mush-
rooms contain 3.5 per cent proteids,
boiled potatoes 2.5 and onions 1.6.
Experts say that mushrooms should
be eaten perfectly fresh and never
eaten after repeating or being warm
ed over" One Of the extensive mush-
room farmers in England says that
persons subject to rheumatic and
equity attacks should abstain from
mushrooms and that liquor should not
be drunk at meal where mushrooms
are served.-New York World.
