Miss Daffan Issues Appeal.

To the Sons and Daughters of Hoods
Texas Brigade:
We are reminded, as our own faith
ers and their beloved comrades pass
away, one by one, that the RESPONSE
bility of keeping alive their deeds of
courage and service to their country
will soon rest upon us.
/ urge every son and daughter OF
Hoods Texas Brigade to attend their
reunion in Calvert, June 27-2S.
Let us, by our presence, express our
appreciation of the dear ones who are
spared and by so doing honor the
memory of those who have left us to
perpetuate their deeds.
1t will be a great advantage to us
to become familiar with their work,
and since We have the opportunity to
honor them, let us do so.
BY reading the excellent books
which they have written for us, Con
federate Capital and Hoods Texas
Brigade" by Mrs A. V. Winkler: "a
History of Hoods Texas Brigade" by
Gen. Joe Policy; Confederate Scrap
Book and Hoods Texas Brigade Mon
ument,' by Capt. Frank Chiffon, and
numerous descriptive and historic
"reminiscences by Gen. William R.
Handy, Capt Van C. Giles and other
members of the brigade, We may form
vivid idea of their intrepid service.
Though we are engaged in our
chosen pursuits, busy, as we should
be, let us pause to pay tribute to our
fathers comrades.
The time that they will be spared
to us is short; let us not delay this
loving attention.
With the renewed assurance of my
appreciation and gratitude to Hoods

and serve them at all times,
Yours very sincerely.

Began with Class Day Exercises Yes.

Graduating Exercises This
Evening.

Inc commencement exercises prop
er of Villa Maria Ursuline Academy
began yesterday with the class day
exercises. Two splendid programs
were rendered, one at IL a. m. and
one at p. m. Quite a number of the
friends and patrons of the school were
present, and each number was great
ly enjoyed and heartily encored.
This morning the members OF The
Eagle staff visited the convent by spe.
cial invitation to inspect the work of
the students done during the session
in penmanship, BOOKKEEPING, lettering,
free-hand drawing, painting, pencil,
pen and ink and crayon work, and china
painting. The work was nicely dis.
played in one of the various halls, and
its beauty and excellence far more
than repaid us for the time consumed
in making the trip.
Each students work in penmanship
was inclosed in decorated covers, all
hand work. The cover designs were
original and beautiful, and the letter.
ing could not be surpassed. Different
subjects were selected and various
scenes of same represented in the
covers, notably among which was THE
Last OF the Mohicans," selected from
the Leather Stocking Tales" by ].
Fennimore Cooper.
Then there were covers represent
ing figures and diagrams in algebra,
geometry and other subjects in higher
mathematics. The sketches in pencil
and pen work, as well as crayon and
oil painting, were very fine and not
only highly creditable to the students
executing them, but through them re-
fecting much credit upon their teach
ers. A splendid exhibit of china paint
ing by Miss Willie May Carson, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. John M. Carson,
Jr., of the A. & NJ. College, was great
ly admired by all and is worthy of
special mention

off at that hour are cordially invited
to go out at or even six and hear the

WANT POLICE PROTECTION
Circus People Want Police Protection
When KOngo. Big Elephant,
is UnlOaded.

The circus people have requested
the mayor, chief of police and city
council to give them police protection
during the unloading of Kongo-the
huge elephant just imported from In
dia. He is unloaded about six O'Clock
each morning. Is considered very
dangerous, and if proper officials are
present there will be no danger of
anpone being injured. They have
also requested that all traffic upon
streets to the circus grounds, over
which "Kongo' will have to travel,
will be suspended during the hours
of six and seven in the morning. In
the event the big beast would meet a
team of horses, cow, a dog, or some
animal not known to him, he might
prove too much for the ten keepers
who are employed to guard and fight
him. He is heavily chained and ev-
cry precaution is taken with the big
beast. "kongo' has elephant instinct
however and will accept peanuts from
menagerie patrons and is seemingly
very happy when in the menagerie
tent with the other animals. Butler,

ponds great deal on the housewife.
it should be a war of determination, y"
and no half-hearted measures will
answer. For red ants in kitchen or
pantry, it is recommended to scour
the shelves well with a hot solution
of water and borax, if the shelves
can be taken out, dry in the sum
shine; if not, wipe as dry as possibly,
then let get dry, and sprinkle thickly
over them, and in crevices or rum
ways of the ants with powdered bo-
rax, black pepper, Stacked lime. Any
of these can be used freely. A good
method is to find the nests and pour
boiling sailed water into them.
Another way is to powder the
shelves and crevices with flour of
sulphur, and hang little bags of sui
phur about where the ants run.
Hanging cloth saturated with
coal oil wherever they run is also
recommended. Ants do not relish
wintergreen, tansy, cayenne pepper,
or lime dust. A heavy chalk mark
entirely surrounding the piece of fur
niture, or on each of its, is also rec
commended.
Laying a bone from which fresh
meat has been taken, or piece of
bacon, or even greasing the inside
bottom of a plate will attract the
ants, and when they are clustered
thickly on the 'bait," dip it in boil
ing hot water, dry Immediately and
lay again for another batch. Com

Missouri Live Stock.

The browning feature of the Mis-.
souri, State Fair, Sept. % to Oct. 4, is
the live stock exhibition, and during
the last eleven years the directors o1
the fair have been successful in hav-
ing stock shows equal to those of any
fair in the whole country.
The influence of the stock exhibit
tons year after year has been made
apparent throughout the state by the
raising Of better grades of horses,
cattle and swine. The size of the
herds have been increased and, with
the improvement of the breeds, the
total valuation of Missouri live stock
has been wonderfully increased as is
shown annually by the statistics gath
cred by the State Board of Agricul-
ture, the census takers and the coun-
ty assessors.
The value of horses and colts in
Missouri in 1900 equalled $40, O95, 600
and in 1910 it had increased to $113,-
708, 900, showing the wonderful in
crease of 10 per cent. During the
same period the value of mules in
creased from SIS, 1882, 600 to $43, $685.
600, an increase of 1870 per cent.
During the ten-year period the value
of swine was increased from $l6,-
534, 900 to $31, $4,000 and sheep
from So, 351 900 to 81, 1875, 600.
The exhibition of the best cattle of
all breeds, the best draft and light
horses, the popular breeds of swine
and sheep, year after year, has had
a gratifying educational influence up
on the breeders and farmers of Mis-
souri,. Stock of all kinds has been
improved and the census of 1920 will
show that the value of live stock has
increased four-fold over that of the
previous'ten-year period.
The mule show at the state fair
each year is larger and better than at
any fair in the United States, proba-
bly, for the reason that Missouri rails
es more mules, and better ones, than
any other state in the union. The
mule show is also interesting and in
structive, demonstrating to what
degree of perfection can be reached
by careful and scientific breeding.
