WHAT YOU MAKE 1T.

FAST or west or north or south.
Anywhere you chance TO stray,
You will find the people kind
II you meet them Just halfway.
There is not the different types,
Chilly there and pleasant here
On yourself you must depend
For the warmth or lack OF cheer
II you wear a frozen face
As you pass along the street
In q city new and strange
That's the kind that you Will meet
If you greet them with a smile
And the twinkle OF an eye
Smiles will greet you in return
From the people passing by.
Do not be afraid to shed
Sunshine up and down the land --
Do not be afraid to reach
To the world a friendly hand
Other folks appreciate
Friendly feelings and the true
Touch of human fellowship
Every bit as much as you
Take your atmosphere along
AS you wander to and fro.
They'll be glad to see you come
And be sorry when you go.
II you give the gladstone grip
In the land where you sojourn ~
Do not for a minute doubt
You viii get 1t in return.

OUTLOOK FOR COTTON CROP
Winter HaspBeen Most Favorable and
twenty-five Per Cent Increase
in Acreage Predicted.
Especial to The Bryan Eagle. ]

Austin, Texas, March 6.-During re-
cent investigations by the federal agri-
cultural department it was shown that
cotton has increased during the past
ten years from to II cents a pound
and the price of staple cotton goods
has decreased from l TO cents a
yard. This increase in the price of
cotton and decrease in the cost of the
woven fabric has taken place while
the cotton area has constantly in
crea sed from year TO year. In a part
of the cotton belt of America has the
acreage increase been so rapid as in
Texas. Last year this state produced
One-third of the entire crop Of the
country. and it is given out by those
who make observations in this partic-
ular that the area devoted TO cotton
this year in Texas will be fully % per
cent greater than last year In all
parts OF the state the winter has been
the most seasonable in the matter of
putting the land in proper condition
within the past four years. Rain has
been abundant and this always in
sures a large cotton crop, particularly
when rain falls plentifully during Feb
ruary and early March

housewife, for it is not necessary to
have whole apples, and the juice cannot
run out and burn as with apple dump
lings where the apple is placed in the
center and the dough turned up around
it. The biscuit part forms a crispy
shell that holds the apples and juice.@
