GROCERY FIRM SW|NOlEO

The Eagle learns that a certain
grocery firm in Bryan was worked by
a clever swindler yesterday to the
tune of 500 He telephoned to the
store from one of the city's hotels to
send him up couple of small pur.
chases and to send change for a
bill and he would pay
the driver. The purchases and the
change we're sent, but instead of CIV
ing the driver the twenty he gave
him a check for $50 on a Palestine
bank.
The southbound train came in about
that time and the purchaser decided
to go along with 1t. His hasty depart
ure aroused the suspicious of the gro
GERS and they telegraphed the bank
in Palestine relative to the man and
the check The reply received was in
the usual FORM but was not worth
much money.

Dear Sir-The Staver buggy man

# THOU HAST CORNs,
HEED AND HOWL

The Elks and Commercial Clubs call
for the cooperation of the people in
making May 21 and % two big days
is being met with an enthusiastic re-
sponse-nix. And sad story. but true,
is that the merchants, the very people
" no derive the benefit from the exten-
sive advertising campaign that has
been inaugurated, are the ones who
are giving the proposition cold deal.
Many times in the history of Bryan
her merchants and progressive citi-
zens have responded cheerfully when
called upon to aid an enterprise which
tended to advertise, build up and pop
ularize their home city. Many times.
We repeat, this has occurred; but ex-
ceptions make the rule and contrasts
are apparent. On yesterday morning
the aviation committee. having in
charge the flights to be given on May
q and 22 under auspices of the Elks
and indorsed by the Bryan CONNER
cial Club, started out on what they
considered very plausible undertak-
ing-one that at least would meet with
generous approval and so cents worth
Of Endorsement In many instances
this was the case; but. unfortunately.
the reverse treatment was handed out
in most liberal doses. Instead Of work
ing hand in hand with the organiza-
tions which are trying to make sue
cess of the undertaking. they knocked,
they scoffed, they refused to be awak-
ened, and some few inclined to COM
edy. laughed They could not be
brought to realize that they were
standing in their own light.
If Bryan is ever made great town
il will not be the fault Of some of
her merchants, so when this does
come about don't blame them. But
they say that nothing is impossible.
so it is to be hoped that at some time
these dead ones" will have some real
"get-up" infused into their sluggish
veins, and that they will then con-
tribute their full pro rata of pull
and boost" for Bryan.
Some people are continually labor
ing under the delusion that everybody
is trying to Skin" them, and in the
matter of an aviation meet these have
opportunity to grow and thrive, for an
aviation stunt, which was not howl
ing success and caused no little COM
ment, was scheduled" to be pulled of
here last fall. But from the very first
the Bryan Elks have assured the peo'
pie that this is bona-fide proposition,
absolutely guaranteed, and this
dubious clientele may rest easy that
they do not stand to lose one single
solitary four bits.
II is to be hoped that the Elks will
make little money out of their ef-
forts, although there is great deal
OF doubt as to them realizing one
nickel-but if weather conditions are
favorable, it is an absolute "cinch"
that the combined attractions of the
Aviation Meet and Trades Days will
bring lots of people to town, and there
fore lots of money into the Golfers OF
the local merchants.
On one occasion yesterday a party
OF nine Italian citizens were met, each
and every one bought ticket gladly.
and expressed keen interest in the ex-
hibition. What travesty, what a
parody, at the expense of our progress
