GET READY FOR
FARMERS CONGRESS
A Brazos County Farmer Appeals to
His Brother Farmers to Show APP
probation of the Privileges
of the Great Gathering.

To the Editor OF The Bryan Eagle;
| wish to call attention of your read
ers to the fact that the Farmers Con-
gress meets at College Station Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday of next
week. Not only should Brazos county
farmers be in attendance, but the
Commercial Club of Bryan should be
well represented. Every farmer in the
county should make an effort to be at
these meetings. If he will attend, get
a program and find out what subjects
he is interested in and be on hand, he
will learn much and perhaps be able
to enlighten his less fortunate neigh
Dor that stayed at home. When you
90 to the congress don't get with your
neighbors, sit around on the grass and
watch the crowd. Go to learn, ask
questions, and let us wake up TO the
opportunities that are all around us.
Let us show the farmers of Texas that
we appreciate their coming into our
midst and that we, too, are anxious
and willing to learn. Bear these dates
in mind talk up the congress with
your neighbors, but do not attend in a
spirit of having good time, but 20
to get the most good out of the meet
ing.

A LIFE ON THE OCEAN WAVE
Cliff Harris Writes Entertainingly OF
His Sensations Aboard the
Steamship Atenas.

After having seen the many sights
("all of interest, too') which The old
city of New Orleans can proudly boast
of, one feels relief upon going aboard
this magnificent steamer My enthu-
siasm at the appointments of my new
ocean home was allengros sing; had
anticipated a sentimental hour astern
the while watched the skyline of the
city gradually fade away; We were
away out at sea when ] at last inter-
rupted my tour of inspection to take
observations from the promenade
deck. | have TO hestancy in saying
that nowhere afloat can be found more
convenient. more attractive and more
luxurious passenger quarters than on
board this new 5000-ton steamer. which
is 394 feet long. 1t is equipped with
every safety device approved by nau-
teal science-wireless, bilge keels, au-
tomato watertight compartments, and
fitted with submarine signal apparatus.
a marvellous modern mechanism which
forewarns the approach of another
ship-all of which were very interest
ing to me. In the dining saloon beauty
and utility are combined to the utmost
degree. The white and gold Of the
ceiling, the glistening table service,
the deep rich mahogany walls and fur
niture give an effect of a most lux
urious metropolitan cafe. A piano on
one side for those who love music;
across the hall a bookcase. well filled
with volumes Of fiction, travel, etc,
and miscellaneous works having to do
with the wonderful lands toward which
we are now sailing. Also writing
desk awaits a fancy for correspond
ence Certainly a charming room in
which to spend an evening hour. You'll
not see much of it during the day, for
the call of the open air is too alluring
II is but few steps from the social
room to the promenade deck, where
you will while away some OF the pleas
ATTEST hours of the trip. A stroll with
a friend or q dreamy afternoon hour
in a steamer chair, your interest al
ternating between your book and the
broad expanse OF the ocean, across
which occasionally ship shows her
tunnels or a whale spouts lazily away
to one side. When at last the dinner
bell rings one realizes that he was
never so ravenOusly hungry Detore IN
his life. Indeed, old ocean and Keen
ness of appetite are inseparable. An
evening on deck! Words fail to eX-
press its loneliness and beauty. Yet
despite the beauty of the nights you
will retire early. Your bed, seductive
in its comfortable attractiveness,
awaits you as you recline on its snowy
pillows, counting the hours to break
fast and fall sleep.
The captain tells me possibly may
have chance to drop this, my first
short letter, at Cape San Antonio,
Cuba. We go to Jamaica and thence
to Contoy Island, Mujeres Island,
Cozumal Island, Yucatan, British Hon.

Consider Reciprocity.

Ottawa, Ont, July 1S.-Parliament
resumed its session today, after re-
cess since May 20, during which time
both liberals and conservatives have
been busy in their constituencies cam
paigning for and against reciprocity
with the United States. 1t Is under
stood that the liberal government
backed by a majority of forty in the
commons, will make a final effort to
put the reciprocity agreement through
the house. If no progress can be made
on account of the obstructive tactics
of the conservatives there will prob
ably be an appeal to the electorate. 1t
is improbable, however, that an cleo
ton will be held before November.

THE GOVERNOR AT PALESTINE,

OF all the shrewd political tricks
played during the present campaign
the one put over Governor Colquitt at
Palestine takes the cake. About seven
hundred women and children marched

by arriving first they got all the seats
The governor had to deliver his anti
speech to an exclusively pro audience
which could not vote, and which were
immune to conversion.-Beaumont En-
terprise.
Our information is that when Gov.
ernor Colquitt entered the hall and
realized that job had been put up on
him he told the ladies that he pre-
ferred to talk to the heads of the FAM
lilies, and went out and make his
speech to the men in the street.

A British army captain, Fred w.
Packer, who has been for number
of years employed in the diamond
mines of South Africa, came to Texas
recently and has been prospecting for
diamonds in Montgomery county, in
Southeast Texas. One stone has been
unearthed weighing more than two
karats which, while it has no COM
mercial value on account of the many
flaws, is proof. so Captain Packer be-
lieves, of the existence of diamond
deposit in Texas. Captain Packer has
employed a force of men to follow up
his discovery and declares that the
continual appearance of indicator
stones, such as are thrown up in vol
canic disturbances, is proof Of the
presence of diamonds.
The chief products of Texas, in or
der of their value as estimated by the
federal agricultural department for
1910, are cotton, corn, wheat, oats
hay, rice, potatoes, etc. Cotton as the
leading product is far ahead OF its
rivals. Corn occupies second place
without challenge. Wheat and oats
have been disputing for third place
but the separation this year is so pro-
nounced that there can be no longer
any controversy over their respective
positions.
The Texas Nut Company at Denison
is erecting a large peanut warehouse
that when completed will hold 10000
bushels of peanuts. The warehouse is
oyer hundred feet long and fifty feet
Vide and will be constructed OF gal
fvanized iron and will be fireproof. In
dications are that the peanut crops
will be the largest in the history OF
the state this year. The acreage has
been increased 500 per cent over last
year, and the peanut is fast taking
rank as a leading commercial crop OF
the state.
Cotton is limited in its area of pro.
duction to Texas and other Southern
states, but its consumption is world
wide, and it is one of the leading ne
cessities of life which insures forever
a profitable return to the producer. II
has been maligned by its beneficiaries
and rallied at by writer's, but Texas
cotton stands today the most reliable
and profitable product of all the agri'
cultural states in the Union.
Texas is the home of cotton, the
soil and climate being peculiarly
adapted by nature to its propagation
and to the proper maturing OF its
fiber.

Got Any Bad Nickels.

Got any nickels in your pocket
If so. you better take them out and
look them over. If any are dated
1910 you are short that much money,
for it is counterfeit. The nckels
bear the date of 1910, which show
them to be counterfeit, as no nickels
were coined last year. In other re-
spects the nickels look right. They
are about the same weight as the
good coin. They are trife off COL
or. but not enough to be noticed by
the average person.
Other towns have reported having
number of these bad coins in circul-
alton and it is thought that perhaps
they have been passed by an organized
gang which has gone through the state.
