ADVANCE OF HER FRONTIERS.

frontiers" says Rule Q, and no one
Of the fourteen has been more success
fully followed. When this rule was writ
ten by Peter, Russia had no possessions
on the Baltic or on the Black Sea. Since
tina. time. however, she has steadily pro-
crossed both westward along the CUR
OF Finland and northward along the east
ern and northern coast Of Bothnia ana
southwark along the whole Of the south
west coast OF the Baltic. Also from the
month OF Dniester she has pushed her
boundaries along the shores of the Black

Caspian Sea.
In Rule 9 is made the first mention IN
Peters will OF Constantnople as an OBJ

progress OF Russian conquest has been
great in the direction OF Constantinople
and India. Before Alexander III ascend
ed the throne almost all the country south
OF the Ukraine and eastward of Circassia
and Georgia had been added to Russia.
Alexander increased his empire in Asia
by no fewer than 35,347 square miles, a
territory three times the size OF Germany.
Since Peters time Russia has advanced
to a threatening position before the gate
OF India" and In Asia her troops can
travel over her own territory to within a
few days march from the boundaries OF
British India.

tween two great universities to graduates
OF as long standing of the two institutions
involved you would be told that 1t is
because the purpose Of the two govern
ment schools is to produce fighting men,
and that the game Of football represents
I'm a higher degree than any other sport
those fighting qualities that are demand

l say this because I once took an old
Grand Army officer TO this Army Navy

fought his way with Sherman and Grant
through four years Of as tough PROPOSE

his first great football game, and you
could see it gripping him all OF the time

There is a marked difference between
football at the two academies and at the
many colleges playing the game which
has much to do with the question OF what
it means to the army and the navy. In

young man in both mind and body to
enter these schools. And after this test

BOYS CORN AND
COTTON CLUBS
County Farm Demonstrator Urges
N Necessity Of Organization and
Prompt Action.
To the Farmers Boys of Brazos

To the Farmers Boys of Brazos
County:
Doubtless the majority of you know
something of the efforts Of the United
States department of agriculture in
trying to get the boys of the country
organized into corn and cotton clubs,
the object of which is to get the boys
into contests for the many premiums
that are to be offered during the year,
also in trying to get them educated
along the lines of advanced agricul-
ture. There will be larger premiums
and more of them offered for goo0
Yields of both corn and cotton this
year than ever before.
1t is our intention to get the boys
of the county solidly organized at the
earliest date possible, but the weather
continues SO bad and the time Is so
short until corn planting time that we
have not the time left for a general
organization. So under the direction OF
the department, /, in connection with
the county superintendent, have sent
To each teacher in the county lists to
be signed by the boys OF each school
and returned to me Immediately Some
OF these teachers have promptly COM
piled with this request and no doubt
the others will very soon.
By this means we will get in the
most of the names of boys who are
attending school, but there are many
boys who are eligible to membership
who are not attending school. Every
how in the county under twenty years
of age is eligible, and ask every one
Iof those who desire to join these clubs
and enter the contests for prizes to
send me their names at once. Decide
TODAY what you are going to do
whether you will plant corn OF cotton
| or both, and begin at once to prepare
YOUR land, for it will be impossible foI
4 YOU to expect to win any prizes II
, these great contests without first get
ting the land prepared right and prop
erly efrtilized.
Just as soon as the weather will per
, nit and the meningitis scare gets ovel
the state agent will be here and you
will be called together for organiza
! ton in a county club. Organize youl
community clubs at once If you wan
to. We want as many as two hundred
, in these contests this year, and nc
3 doubt we will walk off with many ricf
prizes to the credit of Brazos county
: this fall. Now, boys, let us get busy
on those plots of land, for you know
your time is short. Be sure to sene
