Sparkling Eyes
A Story

Manyiotherwise beautiful women
have been neglected by nature with
lack of glossy, lustrous, dark Eye
brows; ny..Blondes of True Morse
mantype with beautiful eyes cannot
show them off to an advantage
through lack OF dark, heavy, lust
rous eyebrows.
To meet universal and popular
demand among the fair sex we have
after much experimenting produced
a compound termed "DABRO" con-
sisting of harmless Organic Sub
stances, Essential Oils, Balsams, etc.,
yielding by our process stiff emul-
sion which will stimulate growth of
the eyebrows and darken them to the
desired shade.
Harmful Eyebrow Pencils
Should be discarded as they only
tend to envelope your hair with a
film of greasy!matter, preventing &C
cess of freshs air and thus to your
detriment serve the opposite purpose
for which you had intended them
namely, identifying yourself.

by the federal government IS city
architect OF Manila. In the Philippine
Islands. He was in Manila about one
year. giving up his position there to
travel In Japan and other parts Of the
Orient for the purpose of studying
architecture In those countries. After
several months of travel he entered
the most famous school of arts in
the world-the Ecole Des Beaux Arts,
Paris, France. In competitive ex-
animation In which one thousand can.
didates sought admission in this great
institution, Mr.. Fountain was the first
American and the third of any in rank
of the entire number. After two and
one-half years of work under these
splendid auspices and considerable
time spent in travel and study IN
Italy, Germany, France and other Ell
ropean countries, he returned to the
United States and has since pursued
the profession of an architect In Chi
cago and Cleveland, Ohio.
He is native of Alabama, but came
to Texas with his parents when hi
was a small boy. He is a son of DR.
iC. p. Fountain. professor of English
in A. & M. College He is only thirty
one years of age. Specimens of hi
work can be seen in the Ohio Arch
tect, Engineer and Builder, the Amer
lean Architect and other leading jour
nails devoted to architecture.

TO SUCCEED PROF. G|EsEckE
Sampson p. Fountain to Head Depart
ment of Architecture at
A. G. m. College.

An old president of one of the lead
ing American colleges once said that
if he did nothing else than to add one
strong man to the faculty each year,
he considered that he earned his sal.
airy. According to that doctrine the
president of A. & M. College has al
ready earned his salary for the year
1928, for he has just secured one
of the ablest architects in America to
succeed Prof. F. e. Giesecke, lately
resigned, as head of the department
of architecture, in the person of
Sampson p. Fountain, now of Cleve-
land, Ohio.
Mr.. Fountain graduated from A. &
M. College in 1901, having completed
the course in civil engineering. After
! leaving the college he spent one year
! in Mr.. O'Connor's office in Austin and
also worked in Houston for some time
He then entered the University OF
! Illinois, where he completed the
course in architecture in one year
receiving the degree conferred upon
students in that department. Soon
after his graduation from the Uni
versity of Illinois he was appointed

Some carpenters do better work on

FOSTER sWEATHER BULLETIN

Washington, Aug. 17.-(Copyright-
ed, 1912, by w. T. Foster LAST bul
letin gave forecast of disturbance to
cross continent August II to 20, warm
wave 10th to Gath, cool wave 23d to
9th. Moderate temperatures are ex.
pected to prevail during this disturb
ance. Not much rain where it has
been dry the past thirty days. l can
not promise breaking up of the
drouth that now continues in some
sections.
The drouth, not general but in some
sections, was predicted and located
six months ago. 1t will be remem
bered that these bulletins located the
best crop weather in vicinities of the
great lakes. That forecast has proven
remarkably correct. For balance Of
the country a drouth was predicted
covering large sections. That droutf
was predicted to begin and damage
oats last half of June, but it begaT
two or three weeks later and there
fore the oat crop was better than pre-
dicted.
Nine months ago predicted tha
winter wheat would be seriously dam
aged by winter weather. This proves
correct and large acreage wa!
ploughed up and sown in oats Sprinl
weather greatly improved winter
wheat, but the yield will not be a!
large as now supposed, because ii

It where It will NOT heat It is safe
to say that the uext seasons crop
would ripen ten or fifteen days earlier
than the average OF this years crop,
and that the yield would be practic-
ally doubled.
It would be just as reasonable to
shake down the apples promiscuousiy
from a tree and take them to the fair,
hoping to win premium in competi-
ton with a man who had selected
only the choicest specimens, or to
turn all of your stock loose to breed
unfortunately, instead OF forcing
the survival of the flttest by the most
rigid selection, and expect to improve
your stock, as it is to plant seed OF
any kind without selecting with the
greatest care the most vigorous and
the best, and hope ror good results.
1t is fair to say that ten per cent OF
the cottonseed selected as above sug'
gested is infinitely superior to the
average of the other ninety per cent;
therefore, If you plant only the aver
jage of the whole you invite deteriora
ton at nine to one.
Every cotton grower. from the. mar
who raises one bale to the man who
raises one hundred bales, can yer,
greatly increase his yield and his
profit by this simple and inexpensive
method.
This is something that you can d,
in your own field; try it.

Now the prohibition political party
has event and put great tempta-
ton in our path. They have nomi-
mated our own Hewitt for lieutenant
. governor, which places us between
two fires. He would make plum
good one and we would like to vote
for him on that account, and we would
also like to support him for a thou
sand personal reasons. Furthermore,
The Eagle has advocated the patron
izing of home enterprises early and
late, and this is certainly home en-
4 terprise. SO now what are we to DO

terprise, or bolt the primary pledge

the estimates the acreage ploughed
up has not been deducted.
The predicted drouth Is seriously
injuring corn at date of this writing,
August 6. but the big spectators will
mot permit that news to be published.
Oats prices are very low and all grain
and cotton are low enough. I there
fore advise not to sell now, believing
you viii get better prices by waiting.
These bulletins can not tell you
about the fluctuations In grain and
cotton prices because the big spec
ulators can and do run prices above
and below normal as much as five
cents or over range of ten cents.
They do this with their big money.
But these bulletins have been sue
cessful in telling producers when not
to sell and in telling dealers when
to buy for long pull. can not hit
the high and low Joints of the mar.
kets, but ii you will buy and sell as
indicated in these bulletins and then
hold till the fluctuations are over you
will come out ahead. For three years
have proven this statement to- be
correct.
At this date, August 6, is a good
time to buy and hold oats Oats may
go little lower, but they will bring
40 cents or more before end of Jan
uary.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific
coast about August "a, cross Pacific
slope by close of 25th. great central
valleys Goth to 2Sth, eastern sections
about August 30. Warm wave will
cross Pacific slope about August "a
great central valleys 26th. eastern
sections 2Sth. Cool wave will cross
Pacific slope about August 81, grea,
central valleys Goth. eastern sections
31st.
This disturbance will inauguratt
thunderstorms and in some places
hailstorms. All weather features will
increase in force and violence, bu
the general average of rainfall will
not increase and the sectional drouthl
will continue. Temperatures will av
erage about normal OF the season anI
will not be very high or very low. A
= great fall in temperatures is expected
: during the week centering on Angus

may be expected.

SELECT coTToNsEEO NOW.

The average farmer picks his cot
ton as it opens, gins it, sells lint and
seed, and then about the last OF the
season hauls home seed enough for
next years planting. In this way, as
rule, he saves the latest and the
poorest seed.
If, when the cotton begins to open,
the farmer, with as much intelligent
help as the size of the crop will war
rant, would go through the field and
select the early big bolls that are
grown on short iointed, vigorous, we'll

enough to furnish seed for next years

These holes in the air have base
