Cause OF Balkan War.


The Balkan war is drawing to an
end with tie disastrous defeat of the
Turkish troops, and such after NOR

will be directed or ameliorated by the
interference of the powers in coniroll-

the allied forces
The present war IS the elimination
of centuries of wrong. These countries

activities, and when the Turks came
out of Asia and captured Constautino-
pie this country was thickly populated
with Christian people among the old

For centuries the Turk has oppress-
ed these people, and in the early per-
ods forced thousands into the NOLAN

death for refusal, and slaughtered un-

At almost regular intervals the
world has been shocked by the massa-

Little Stealing and Big.

"Why,' asks correspondence.
"do you handle with iron tongs and
pitchforks the few who are stealing
from the workmen. through unfair
means to crafty their greed and han
die gingerly, oh so gngerly, the
workman who steals from his family,
through lust, booze and tobacco, not
on ~ the comforts which are theirs,
but also his manhood, which he owes
them?'
The reason that Socialists agitate
against the profit system is because
all other robbery in a thousand years
would not approach the robbery of
that system in five years. Il is wrong
for the workman to spend the little
returns from his labor he may get.
on his own lust, while leaving his
family almost starving. Yet. even
then he is not depriving his family of
one-tentn as much as the capitalts
system is doing to his own wife and
children. Except for the robbery of
profit, interest and rent, every child
would have home and evorysswoman
would be secure at all times. Person
al morals are right. Tire are many
who are preaching them, and the
APPEAL has no fault to find with
that preaching; but it is such little
thing after all when compared to the
social iniquity that has made the
world of the workers poor and that
is almost ready to wreck civilization.

THAT every farmer in Brazos county
ask the college for a copy of the bull

be without a thorough knowledge of
this important factor in successful
farming.
Prof. Harris was the next speaker,
with the subject of legumes. Like the
bulletin upon commercial fertilizers,
every farmer should have copy of
the bulletin on feeds and legumes, as
they are closely related to each other
as farm factor. Prof. Harris under
stands and handles the subject with
interest, and his talk was thoroughly
enjoyed by the audience
Mr.. A. W. Buchanan urged the or

We can not teach you the minutia Of
farming. You know how to plant, cul-
tivate and harvest; but there is an
other part of farming which is so lit
tie understood-the reasons why.
These are the great truths that we are
trying to teach you. People are begin

knowledge to farm successfully. The
one who does things knowingly is the
one who succeeds. Go over the state

you the Importance of studying agTi

learn something new every day, and
you must do the same. The idea is
for you farmers and others to get to.
gether for cooperative education in
farming. The farmers institute is the
great medium for this. 1t is an oppor-
tunity for comparisons, one with an
other, each profiting by the expert
ence of all. Send your soil to the A. G.
M and have it analysed, and then let
your neighbors know the results. You
know then what your soil needs and
can apply it intelligently. You should
discuss your crops before they are
ready. Then you educate by demon
stration.

speak especially to you. Be proud that
you live on the farm 1t is the great
est heritage that can fall to the lot of
anyone. Plants have no mouths, but
they eat. Plants have no houses, but
