A brilliant plan for getting rich is
being worked out by an enthusiastic
promoter. Only the chance to buy
stock in it (''telegraph your orderly
remains. The company is to operate
large cat ranch near Oakland, Cal.
To start with, the promoter will col
lect about 1000 cats. Each cat will
average IL kittens year. The skins
will run from 10 cents each for the
white ones to rs cents for the pure
black. This will give 100000 skins
year to sell at an average Of 30
cents apiece, making a revenue Of
about $4,000 day gross. A man can
skin so cats per day for So. 1t will
take 100 men to operate the ranch and
therefore the net profit will thus be
$4,000 per day. The cats will feed on
rats, and a rat ranch will be started
next door. The rats will multiply four
times as fast as cats. One million
rats will feed on the carcasses Of the
cats from which the skins have been
taken, giving each rat fourth Of a
cat. The cats will eat the rats and
the rats will eat the cats and the COM
pany will get the skins.-San Angelo
Standard.

all the lambs who subscribe for any

MORE ABOUT GOOD ROADS.

Just prior to the election on the
good roads bond issue The Eagle
printed statement from a merchant
at Cross, Grimes County, who visited
Bryan and expressed himself as to the
trade-winning qualities of good roads.
The Navasota Examiner reproduces
the article and comments on same as
follows.
"The above is exactly in line with
what The Examiner-Review has warn
ed the people would happen sooner or
later With good road leading to
Bryan that town will get 80 per cent
of the trade of all who live in reaching
distance of the road. There can be no
doubt of it and no one can blame a
man for taking the best road. The
matter of sentiment for ones home
county or town doesn't enter very
largely into the figuring of many peo-
pie nowadays. The whole proposition
hinges on the idea of where do come
in?' This being the case, then it were
folly to do otherwise than prepare to
meet the good roads move of neighbor.

stop hollering that they are going to
take away our trade If Brazos

the meantime there is a good deal
that we might be doing"

Now, | submit to any fair-minded
critic, if the secretary has not been
justified in handling at least two other
positions in order to keep up expenses.

care to make is that / am proud to
plead guilty. Withal, have given the

the following plan be put in operation
to finance our club for the next year.
Let the ten largest business houses,
including the banks, pay 500 each
o. $1,000; then let fifty other men and
firms (and | will be one of them) pay
$50 each, making a fund of $4,000 for
the year, Let this fund be used as
