GEORGE WASHINGTON
A MODEL FOR BOYS
written for The Bryan Eagle.I

w lllleu III L Alt ~ az A~NcAN'J
one hundred and seventy-nine years
ago a child was born in Westmoreland
county, Virginia, who was destined to
occupy the highest place in his coun-
try's history. Little did his mother
dream, as she held him tenderly in
her arms, what hardships, what trials,
were before him! | am glad she did
not know, unless she could also know
how grandly he would bear himself,
and how splendidly he would come
through all that seemed to block his
way. How proud Virginia should be
TO have given such a man to history!
Virginia is the only state to which
Texas must bow the head, for Vir-
ginia gave the world both George
Washington and Robert Lee. Just
think of that! But their glory is the
heritage of every American, and we
can not be too proud of our own share
in it. The two men were alike in
many ways-calm, unmovable under
victory as we'll as defeat; filled with
highest aspirations, actuated only by
the highest principles. Both came OF
fine old English stock. and while they
held that fact worthy of respect, they
were simple in their lives, and courte-
GUS TO all. While they resembled each
other in big things, they were also
alike in those of less importance. For
| instance. both were very particular
about their clothes. They were care
fully dressed always, and we read in
General Washington's diary how care
| fully he ordered his clothes, in both
color and make. | speak, in telling
you of General Lee, how he, too, was
extremely particular to be dressed
carefully, and as gentleman should

! all Americans alike in this. Now, |
want to know what the boy who brags
that he "is no dude" has to say to
that? | want you boys to remember
this fact about these two great men,
for you can be like them in this care
fitness about dress, if in no other
particular, and it is something to be
like George Washington or Robert
Lee in anything
Lecky, a British historian, says of
General Washington: "Of all the
great men in history, he was the most
invariable judicious, and there is
scarcely a rash word or action or
Judgment recorded of him." Now, here
is another point in which you may re-
semble George Washington if you try
hard enough. for you can learn to gov
ern your temper and to be careful how
you judge others.
Washington had high tempel, too,
but he was strong enough to control
it. There is no greater victory than
the victory over your own self, and if
Iyou make up your mind now, while
you are young, you can learn to con-

troll yourself.
There is yet another way. Lecky
says land lie is not the only one who
says it,: "No act of his (Washing-
ton's) public life can be traced TO pei.
sonal caprice, ambition or resent
ment." Oh, dear, / am afraid that
couldn't be said of many Of our public
men today, but it is what should be
said of them, II they loved their coun-
try unselfshly. Now make up your
mind that it shall be said of you.
hope many OF the boys who read this
will serve their country in public life;
and | do wish they would determine
to be like Washington in this, that
they will do nothing for caprice or
ambition that in any way savors of
dishonesty; and will never hurt an
others reputation because that man
has in any way injured them. SO you
see there are three ways in which
you can be like George Washington.
| think it is a shame that there isn't
more attention paid to George Wash
ington's birthday than there is, and
when | hear of school having exer-
cises on that day, with speeches and
songs in his honor, feel that that
school is in good hands and that the
pupils are being properly taught. 1t
makes me furious to see people max
ing such fuss over st. Patrick's Day
and paying no attention to the 22nd
of February. st. Patrick means moth
ing to America, but George Washing
tons character is the finest jewel In
her crown.

FERTILIZER EXPERIMENTS.

DR.. G. S. Traps, state chemist Of
Texas and associate professor of agri-
cultural chemistry at A. & NJ. college,
finds a great deal of interest through
out the state in cooperative fertilizer
experiments which are carried on un-
der his direction every year The
number of experiments are limited
only because the funds available to
provide the fertilizer are not sufficient
to take in as many farmers as part
ners in the cooperation as desire to
assist in demonstrating the worth of
fertilizers and the possibilities of
their soils under proper fertilization.

The Texas oyster industry is to re-
ceive aid at the hands of the federal
government, according to information
sent out from the office of the state
game warden at Austin. The entire
Texas coast is to be exploited by the
government with a view of plating
the oyster reefs along the coast, The
fish and oyster industry of Texas is
assuming larger proportions each year
and the oyster beds of the Texas coast
have been pronounced equal to those
of the Atlantic coast by federal en-
perts from time to time, and the fact
that Uncle Sam will give practical
assistance to the state in developing
this industry is encouraging to all citi-
zens of the state.

Good roads have a money value to
farmers as well as a political and So
cial value, and leaving out the refining
influences which they have on a CON-

a mercenary standpoint they are
found to pay handsome dividends each

CONTRIBUTED BY COMMERCIAL
SECRETARIES ASSOCIATION

A meeting Of the commercial secre-
taries of the Brentwood section was
held at Brentwood, Thursday, May 4,
for the purpose of perfecting district
organization of commercial secre-
taries. The counties of Brown, CO.
manche, Menard, Mccullough, Erath
and Hamilton were represented at the
convention. Mr.. S. w. Strain, general
passenger agent of the Frisco, ad-
dressed the meeting on immigration.
The primary purpose of the organiza-
ton is to encourage the immigration
of new settlers from other states into
that section of Texas.
Life on a farm often becomes, as
result of "bottomless roads," isolated
and barren, and in many instances
ambition is checked, energy weakened
and industry paralyZed from this
cause. Build good roads.
Mr.. w. 7. Loudermilk, president of
the Farmers Union of Texas, adj
dressed a good roads meeting al Co.
manche saturday, in the interest OF
the 100000 road bond issue which
is on foot in that county. The bond
issue was recently defeated, but an
other election has been called, and it
is believed will carry by large ma
jority. The farmers of the state are
becoming actively interested in the
subject of good roads and the CO.
operation of the Farmers Union in
improving our public highways is en-
couraging to all advocates of good
roads in the state.
