I. P. McConkey, of the local office of the L J Smith Constr, Co, made a business trip to, Cedar Glade the first of the week. He reports work on the new line progressing very favorably.
 The third week of the Reducing Stock Sale at the Racket Store has lost none of the former interest manifested. People realize and ap- preciate the fact that never before were such genuine bargains offered to the citizens of Williams. It pays to advertise.
 Aug. Lindstrom returned last last Saturday morning from his business trip to the Salt river val ley. He reports everything except politics very quiet down there.
 The people of the United States need to get back to nature. We want to pay more attention to the ground and less to Wall street.
 The earth's population increases. but no more land is being created !; SO why not take advantage of the golden opportunity open to home seekers in the vicinity of Williams, Arizona.-a growing town of 15C0 population, with the finest and healthiest climatic conditions in the world, where the government is of fering to give away thousands of acres of rich agricultural land.

The great clearance sale at the Racket store is on it's third weeks run, and still the crowd continues. While this sort of sale is something new to Williams buyers, it has clearly demonstrated the fact that the people of Williams are wide awake and are not the least back. ward when they are looking for bargains. When 8 merchant has the bargains to offer it will pay him 100 per cent on the dollar if he will let the people know where to find what they are looking for. These are the kind of sales that will. in short time, do away with the mail order house orders.

UNCLE JOSH" At
STEEP HOLLOW
Splendid Entertainment Given by
Pupils at Closing Of Pub
lie School.

AS is usually the case when Steep
Hollow undertakes thing, the play,
Uncle JOSH which was presented by
the home talent at the Steep Hollow
High School building on the evening
Of Friday, April u, was grand sue
cess, Notwithstanding the inclemency
OF the weather, the crowd began to
arrive at an early hour and by $3.50
the great old school ROOM" which
had been enlarged by raising the NOV
able partition wall, was filled to over
flowing.
After being seated each individual
was given a program OF the evening.
Since the play was not to be put on
until o'clock, the audience was high
ly entertained for the next half hour
by stirring strains of music furnished
by Messrs. Dee Cargill, Luther Holli-
gan, Billy and Berry Risinger. And,
too, the pleasing numbers between
acts were greatly enjoyed.
At exactly o'clock the curtain was
drawn and the play begun. 1t can be
truthfully said that each character &C.
quilted himself with honor, but spe-
cial mention should be made of Uncle
Josh and Erastus. Uncle Josh, an ideal
type of the country farmer, and Eras-
tus, as negro servant, would have
made the originals ashamed of them
selves. Their appearance on the stage
was always greeted with ringing ap-
plause and peals Of laughter.
That the play was highly appre-
ciated was shown by the strict atten-
ton of the audience and laundering
applause at the fall of every curtain.
At the close it was found that the
proceeds amounted to $50. This sum,
as was before stated, will be used for
the enlargement OF the school library,
which we realize is so much needed
in every rural school.
Due credit should be given Prof.
d. M. Cook and Mrs. T. A. Tobias.
whose untiring efforts alone made the
play success.
Prof. Cook as principal of our school
is to be commended for the deep in
terest he has shown in this commun-
ity and the work he has done in our
literary school. The past term has
been a very successful one, and it is
the earnest desire of all that we may
be so fortunate as to secure him for
the coming year.

This article Is dedicated to one OF
the pluckiest young gentlemen Of
Brazos county.--Author.]
In reading this article imagine that
this is the year 1920 and that the
scenes of action are in and around
Brazos county and Grimes county,
Texas. am trying to picture the pos
sIbilities that may develop from an
actual fact.
In the fall of 1911, near the Nava-
sofa river on the Brazos side, lived
farmer who had son about eighteen
years of age by the name of Harry
Roberts. Harry had for number Of
years been working and earning lit
tie money and would invest 1t in young
cows. During the summer Of 1911 he
accompanied his father to the Farm
ers' Congress at the A. & M. College
near Bryan and took great interest
in the different lectures, and especial
ly the ones on farm dairy interests.
When Harry and his father returned
home at the end of the week he had
fully decided to begin course at the
college that fall. He said nothing
about it to his father at first, because
he was well aware of the fact that his
father could not assist him financially
to any school expenses. His father
was a good man, but, like many other
good men of the community, 1t took
about all the net proceeds of the farm
to support the family at home. good
cotton crop would just about pay up
the debts contracted since the last
crop was sold, and the corn crop
you'd just about furnish feed to make
he next crop. The meat for the fam
lily. as well as all other provisions for
the table we're purchased in the city
on credit Ito be paid for from the pro-
ceeds OF the cotton crop). A few cows
were kept on the farm to furnish
milk, but butter was never attempted
The calves were allowed to run with
their mothers for six to eight months,
and about all they were expected to
do was to raise their calves any

to the expenses at the college. He
was happy in the knowledge that there
was no tuition, He was informed by
the secretary of the college that the
probable expense would be $3.50 for
each term. This would pay for uni
forms, board, books and other neces-
stiles He had few dollars and three
good young cows. He could sell the
cows, but that would not carry him
through one year, He could borrow
the money, but then It would cost him
thousand dollars to take the four.
year course and he would leave col.
lege with heavy debt hanging over
him. He read in The Bryan Eagle that
there was an extensive market at the
college for milk and cream, and he
finally decided that as he had sup.
ported the cows until now that they
were giving milk, they could In the
future support and educate him. Hav.
ing arrived at this conclusion, he told
his father that he was going to start
in at A. & Nj. College in the fall.
swell, Harry, how are you going to
pay your expenses? couldn't raise
half enough to carry you through one
term. You have good education.

years of your time down there with
