Bungalow, the House of Peace, in
the Land of the Setting Sun; the
home I gave up just one year ago
when l came here to take up my
small share in our great work
l could see again the changing
purple lights of my beloved strength
giving mountains; the rolling green
foot hills with the masses of yellow
mustard bloom; the Eucalyptus trees
standing straight and tall against
the evening sky, sentinels of an en-
chanted land could see the riot
! Of color everywhere, the roses and
jasmine climbing about my porch,
and hear my pet hooking bird sing
ing his heart out in the Pepper tree
near by. Them opened my eyes
only to see the sleet and snow beat
ing furiously against the window
panes, the beautiful vision was gone
and naught remained save a hand
full of violets.
All women are my sisters, but
during the past year of storm and
stress the women of the South have
come very close to my heart Your
own hearts are so big and warm!
With all your gentleness and soft
exterior you are so brave and true,
and so loyal to our great Cause 1t
is no wonder the men of the South
are such brave fighters and gallant
lovers
I would that this little letter which
comes straight from my heart to
yours, could go to- every League
sister in the Sunny South land,
simply that they might know how
much I love and appreciate them
would say to them. Have no feal
about the outcome of our beloved
League-God is with us and we viii

Both Houses Down to Business.
[By Associated Press.1


Austin, Texas, Feb. 23.-The senate
this morning adopted a resolution re-
questing Senators Culberson and
Bailey to try to secure the passage of
a bill fixing the basis of congress
sional apportionments.
Senator Cofer introduced a bill Civ
ing constables the same fees as sher-
IFS for the same services in civil and
criminal cases.
The house passed the following bills,
which had already been passed by the
senate:
Appropriating $4,000 to rebuild the
boys dormitory at the Corsicana state
orphanage home.
\ The Gainesville city charter.
A bill giving the railroads more
time to complete extensions.
Providing that suits for forcible en-

AN EXAMPLE BRYAN SHOULD
FOLLOW.

The business men OF Caldwell, the
capital of Burleson county, have done
the sensible thing in organizing a
stock company for the purpose Of
buying and consolidating the two
weekly papers published there. A
newspaper, as a semi-public. institu-
ton, should be controlled by the bust
ness men of the community it serves,
and the only way they can control it
is to own it.
The Eagle is owned by a 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 basis where its future
would not be dependent on any one
Or two men. Every business man in
Bryan should be a stockholder and
nave voice in the election of the
BOARD of directors.

HALF A MILLION IN IMPROVE
MENTS.

The new enterprises already
launched and whose accomplishment
is assured represent an aggregate in.
vestment of half million or more.
The principal items are the Bryan &
Brazos River railroad, 100000; the
flour mill and power plant, s50,000;
the water, light and sewer systems,
$4,000; the Bryan Baptist Academy
dormitory, $4,000; sidewalks ana
street improvement, which can not be
accurately estimated but will certain
ly be more than sufficient to bring the
total of expenditures for public pur-
poses up to the half million mark. This
estimate does not include private resi-
dences and business houses, the ag-
gregate cost of which will probably
amount to another quarter of a million.
Nor does it include a number OF enter
prises projected but not yet assured,
such as a new modern hotel, a maca-
roni factory, creamery, cannery, a
broom factory, brick works, and, most
important of all-natural gas. Two or
three years ago if anyone had pre-
dicted that such statement as the
above could be truthfully made at this
time he would have been regarded as
q too optimistic dreamer.

And Why Not Brazos Too?

A wise step for our commissioners
court would be the abolition Of the
office of treasurer. The Rockdale
State bank pays a nice sum for the
use of the county's money, and will
act as treasurer without costing the
county a cent Now we pay the treas
urer about $4,000 a year, which the
banks would do for nothing, and pay
the county besides. Is there any econ
omy in such a policy? Some of the
counties are abolishing
this office, why not Milan? We are
for more roads, but always
are told that shortage of funds pre-
vents the building of roads. This $4,000
a year would help some. This is
question that our commissioners
should consider. 1t is not business to
pay out large sums without getting
any returns. 1t IS poor policy to pay
some man a large sum to do some
thing that others will do Just as well
FOR nothing and pay YOU for the priv

PouRs OIL ON THE TROUBLED
WATERS.

The second epistle of Mr.. /. NJ. Cook,
published elsewhere in this paper, will
be read with no less interest and much
more satisfaction than its predecessor,
which ELECTED SO much comment. The
spirit il breathes is admirable. There
can be no doubt now that Mr.. Cook
and those for whom he speaks are
reasonable and want nothing cut JUS
tice, and this being the case there will
be no trouble in coming to an under
standing that will be satisfactory to
all concerned.
The friction was caused by the fail
ure of the parties to understand each
other. In conversation with the editor
Mr.. Cook remarked that he and his
friends had supposed that the cost of
property convenient to the business
district would be so great that II a
wagon yard were established it would
necessarily be in the outskirts of the
town, which would be very inconyen-
lent, especially for the women and
children. When it was explained that
the business men are interested not
less than he farmers in locating it
as close in as possible he not only
said that this would be satisfactory.
but that, speaking for himself, he
would be willing to pay reasonable
fee for such accommodations as it is
proposed to furnish.
The proposition is now squarely UP
to the Civic League and the CONNER
cial Club, and there is no excuse for
delay. Bryan must do the handsome
thing. 1t is not for The Eagle to die
tate, nor even to suggest, except to
insist that the matter be taken up at
once and a committee or committees
be appointed to work 1t out. Not less
than a block Of ground should be con-
sidered. If there are houses on the
site selected, they would perhaps be
available for rest rooms, dressing
rooms, iavatories, etc, for the women
and children. AS Egg Man suggested,
ice water should be provided IN sum-
mer and fires in winter In short, all
reasonable provision should be made
for the comfort of our welcome and
respected guests. In order to guard
against imposition by undesirable peo-
pie, 1t may be necessary to charge a
small fee, to be related on conditions
satisfactory to all parties. In working
out the details the committee should
consult representative farmers and
true" farmers wives. It would be a
good plan to ask the Farmers Union
to appoint committee to represent
its constituents in the matter.

SEVERE .cAsTioATioN FOR
NEGLIGENCE.

With freezing temperature five
nights in succession almost to the
coast there is little ground for hope
that anything killable by frost has
escaped destruction, unless it was pro-
tected in some way, and the amount of
protection in the east half of Texas is
so small that it is not worth consider
ing. That fruits and vegetables worth
many thousands have been destroyed
Is certain. 1t is equally certain that a
1.-THE of thel oss, If expended judicious-
ly in providing protection from the
cold, would have saved practically all
the property destroyed. Nowhere in
Texas, excepting the Panhandle, has
the cold been more than few degrees
below the freezing point. A few
orchard heaters, or smudge pots, to
the acre would have taken the edge off
Jack Frosts broad sword
The farmers of the older sections
have made considerable Improvement
by diversifying and adopting i'm
proved methods, but in the important
particular of protecting their crops
from frost they are away behind those
of the Southwest. In the two weeks
February 10 one agent of a
frost prevention" company sold Co.
900 orchard heaters in the citrus belt.
After seeing the fire pots tested the
farmers around Kingsville, Falfurrias,
San Benito and other points bought
heavily 1t is hoped that the severe
castigation from which Central and
East Texas farmers are now suffering
will not be in vain.
