A. 4 N. CADET CORPS
H|KED OUT YESTERDAY
Weit Into Camp Near Jones Bridge
on Brazos River for Annual
Camp Training.

With the bugles sounding the mar
tial note that means Advanced" Capt
Andrew Moses, commandant of cadets
and Cadet Col. II. M. Pool, leading the
column in long swinging strides, the
cadet corps OF A. & M. college, about
nine hundred strong, heightened out
over the public road that leads to the
Brazos river at o'clock yesterday for
a ten-mile hike.
This annual hike of the military de-
partment of the college always is held
so that 1t will include the first day
OF April. There are several reasons
for this. One Is that college students
generally neglect lessons on April /
for All Fools Day pranks, and by TAX
ing them out on military duty they
don't get chance for that Another
Is that the hike is a part of the mill
tary training, and April is generally
the best weather for an outdoor life.
The movement of the corps was ac-
cording to the following general order:
Headquarters Corps of Cadets,
A. & NJ. College of Texas.

THE BAPTIST REVIVAL
Interest Growing with Each Service,
Large Congregations Present
Both Day and Night.

There was the largest congregation
at the revival at the First Baptist
church this morning and the attend
ance at last nights service was the
largest since Sunday. The meeting is
reaching the town and many who do
not usually go to church are regular
in their attendance. The singing was
exceptionally good yesterday. and Mr..
Hiett is enlivening the service by get
ting the people to sing and with his
soul-stirring solos. Evangelist Finney
spoke with great liberts and the con-
gregation was greatly moved by the
sermon.
AT he afternoon childrens meeting
a much larger company of children
attended and nearly score were
saved. The use of the Ten Command
ments as chain, and how we break
the chain and how Christ saves us,
was indeed very effective. And how
the children sing the Winning song
They are singing it on the streets and
on their way to school and return.
1 Last night after a great song serv-
ice conducted by Mr.. Hiett, Evange-
list Finney preached on the plan OF
salvation. He showed how we are con-
demned and how Christ's blood saves
US. 1t was wonderfully simple. yet
thought producing. He showed that
all men are lost. moralist as well as
murderer, because they are under the
condemnation of God. Nothing we can
do will save us, and not until Christ
is accepted is the condemnation re-
moved. He showed that baptism. con-
firmation, church membership, giving
of our means and money, or even Civ
ing our bodies. will not avail any
thing. Only the blood of Christ can
save you. He that believeth on the
Son hath everlasting life Men and
women went away saying "We never
heard 1t in this fashion before"
The largest number were saved
during the meetings than have been
saved on any previous day of the
meeting.
The meetings continue at 10 a. m.
and 7:45 D. m. Everybody is invited.

What's a Dollar?

What is dollar, anyhow" The
question is an easy one to answer. 1t
is the price of a days work for some
men and single nights drink for
others. 1t is what the wife frequently
needs but seldom has. 1t is the power
that makes or unmakes men. 1t Is the
hardest thing to get and the easiest
thing to get rid Of known to mankind
1t is a blessing in small measure
and curse in many instances. 1t is
mighty and scarce. No man ever had
more than he wanted and no man ever
will. A dollar is snare and delu-
sion. and every one of us are chasing
the delusion.-Bellville Times.

MILLIONS SPENT IN THE
NORTHWEST BY RAILROADS

Washington and Oregon are get

from the railroads these days, it
being estimated that the Hill sys-
tenn alone has spent during the last
four years no less than $4,000, 600
in the two states in extensions,
betterments new holdings and equip
ment.
This is but small part of the
fund expended for railways in Wash
ington where the Milwaukee has ex-
tended to the Coast and the Harri-
man lines have built network OF
roads under the guise of the North
Coast, in addition to much other
work.
These millions disbursed by the
roads in thsir construction and the
large sums required annually for
their operation mean continued
prosperity for the Pacific Northwest.

said Mrs. Hutton, just before start
ing for Tacoma, but | expect to
pass at least two weeks in Olympia
to support the eight bill in tie
interest of working women. L may
also take part in other matters of
legislation in the interest of women"
Mrs. Hutton believes that suffi-
cient pressure can be brought upon
members of the legislature of Wash
ington to pass law for the protec-
ton of women, saying mat 1870, 900
women voters were added to the list
in this state when Governor Hay at
tached his signature to the official
returns of the recent election
of course, none of us knows
what the result will be in Washing
tom" Mrs. Hutton added, but it
would appear that the women have
strength to insist upon the adoption
of almost any kind of a reasonable
measure for their protection against
the greed of employers, some of
whom work their girls and women
clerks from 10 to IL hours and FREE
seven days week.
L expect to have conference with
leaders of the movement at Tacoma
some time this week. Women from
Washington, Idaho. Colorado, Utah
and Wyoming will be assembled
there and an expression of opinion
will be forthcoming and a plan of
action mapped out before the con-
comes to close. "
