BEING RETURNED
Secretary Hewitt Meeting with sFIne
Success In New Rating Made by
Commercial Club.

This morning Secretary Hewitt re-
ceived a large number Of membership
pledges in answer to the notice sent
out by the membership rating com.
mittee, indicating that everyone Is en-
tirely satisfied with the rating made.
This was in itself very gratifying to
the secretary and committee, but the
pleasant words from some members
later make toll easy and life worth
the living. One member met the sec.
rotary and said:
IL have been a member since the
club was organized. / signed my
pledge and returned it this morning,
but | feel that it does not say enough.
| want to tell you that I feel that the
money that | have paid to. the Com.
mercial Club has proven the best in
vestment that | have ever made, and
| am more than proud to continue my
membership under the new schedule"
The secretary has received many
encouraging remarks from all sides.
One gentleman who was placed in
Class A said he was proud of the rat
ing, as the club is well worth it and
more to the entire community, as well
as to him individually. II all members
stand by the rating, as the returns so
far indicate, the fund will do great
things for Bryan.

BY l.. M. HEWITT.

A careful study of the causes OF the
continued advance in cost OF neces'
stiles of life produced from the farm,
in the last few years, leads more and
more to the conclusion that the root
OF the evil lies in the fact OF robbing
the soil Of its tiller. The ratio OF
producer to consumer is steadily de-
creasing, and will continue to do SO,
especially here in the South, until the
remedy is more effectually applied.
The young nan becomes dissatisfied
with the farm, because he finds al
each harvest that his share In the re-
suit of his toll is not proportional as
he believes it should be, as compared
with his fellows who have labored in
the cities, railroads or public works.
He takes the outward appearance and
does not go beneath the surface to
secure facts upon which to base his
opinion. Some such advertisement as:
Farmers become government railway
mail clerks, 800 month; easy work;
short hours; steady work; examina-
lions everywhere May A; common ed
ucation sufficient; send postal at once
for sample questions; coaching Free"
The young farmer, who has had a
good independent living, and the foun-
dalton for becoming financially infuen-
tial, but has not handled any really
large amount of money during the
year, has worked hard, it's true, early
and late, but has been at home for
three good wholesome meals every
day and with his friends at night,

bushel for them. They go to a North
ern market and the freight is over a
dollar per bushel. From July on until
the next May the Bryan consumer
pays about two dollars per bushel for
his supply, more than half of which
goes to- the railroad company and the
middlemen.
Twelve years and less ago the cot.
ton crop Of the South was sold by the
producer at six cents per pound, and
less, and six dollars per ton for the
seed was an attractive price. At that
time the Northern cotton mill used
about six bales of cotton to the South
ern mill one. For the last six or seven
years the consumption by the South
ern mill has been steadily gaining UNI
til at the present time the Northern
mill and the Southern mill use about
an equal amount, and the two con-
sumo about one-third Of the crop, the
other two-thirds going to a foreign
mill. Just as the Southern mill has
increased its consumption, just 80 has
the stable price of cotton increased.
This is made possible and practical
by decreasing the unnecessary waste.
At the present time the largest and
most successful Southern cotton mills
are in the C%arolinas, Georgia and Ala
bama. Texas is gaining fast, and there
is no good reason why a successfully
operated mill should not be in Bryan.
We are now in a position to offer
cheap power. We firmly believe that
a mill will be operated here in the
near future.
The remedy for the vegetable situa.
ton is a cannery and evaporation. 1t
is possible to evaporate any vegetable,
keep it an indefinite time, and when
wanted apply the water and it is as
good as the fresh product. 1t is done
at a nominal cost, and to the South is
saving an exorbitant expense in trans

abundance of circulars has been placed
there to draw an honest farmer from
a life of independence and comfort to
one of dependence and strife. The
young man does not realize 1t, but IL
he would only analyze as he goes
along. the advertisement was reeking
with lies and the whole thing had to
be blinded in order to get him away

Tree Gone Mad

~SsS~ s0S
Nature in the tropics, left to her
self, is harsh, aggressive, savage;
looks as though she wanted to hang
you with her dangling ropes or impale
you on her thorns, or engulf you in
her ranks of gigantic ferns. Her
is nev as placid and sane as
in the north. There is a tree in the
Hawaiian woods that suggests a tree
gone mad. 1t is called the hau-tree.
1t lies down, squirms and wriggles all
over the ground like e wounded
snake; it gets up, and then takes to
earth again. Now it wants to be a
vine, now it wants to be a tree. It
throws somersaults, it makes itself
into loops and rings, it rolls, it reach.
es, it doubles upon itself. Altogether
1t is the craziest vegetable growth I
ever saw. Where you can get it up
off the ground and let it perform it's
antics on a broad skeleton framework,
it makes a cover that no sunbeam can
penetrate, and forms a living roof to
the most charming verandas-or
lanais, as they are called in the ISL
ands-that one can wish to see.-

She promised the boys that If they
were good they might have a minstrel

through the term the teacher kept
this prospect before them, promising
the particularly noisy youths good
parts if they would keep their deport-
ment up to a fair standard. The
promise had the desired effect, the
boys were reasonably manageable,

PRISONERS MIGHT BE FREED
Many in New York JaiIs Are Held
Contrary to the Strict Letter
Of the Law.

An examination Of the prison reports
OF the state of New York has shown
that 254 prisoners are at present serv-
Ing terms in the state under illegal
sentences.
Part of these prisoners claimed when
on trial to be first offenders, and so
got an indeterminate sentence. The
law Of New York provides that on
second convictions no indeterminate
sentence a be given.
Part Of. them, however, have sen
fences which terminate in the middle
of the winter. The law of New York
wisely provides that no prisoner may
be released in the winter season, when
work is scarce and the incentive to
crime. is redoubled by the. hardship
of the cold.
AS to the first ground of illegally,
other states have permitted indeter-
inmate sentences on second convic-
tons without discoverable bad re-
suits.
As to the second ground one can say

MOTORCYCLE THIEF

Felix Carson's spirits, which ran

thief had eluded ius captors very
easily, due TO what appears to be
one of the worst examples OF Off

follow closely in an auto, driving
him, as II We're, like n pig to market.
