The executive committee of the
Texas Farmers Congress is opposed to
those attending the congress being ia
vored with passes over the transpor-
ton expressing disapproval has been
passed.
The executive committee met at
A. & NJ College few days ago to
discuss the program and other mat
tiers affecting the coming congress. At
the meeting were E. w. Kirkpatrick
of Mckinney, president of the con
gress; T. w. Larkin of Beaumont, Sec
rotary; Edward w. Knox of San An
tonic, vice president T. T. Boone,
representing the Texas Rural Letter
Carriers Association; Louis H. School,
representing the Texas Boys and Girls
Agricultural Association; w. B. Weary,
representing the Texas Cotton Grow
ers' Association; r. l.. Mcknight. rep
resentlng the A. & M. College of
Texas: e. J. Kyle, dean of the school
of agriculture of A. & NJ. College; and
b. Youngblood, director of the Texas
agricultural experiment stations.
The committee devoted considerable
time to the preparation of the pro-
gram for the general sessions of the
congress. The papers and addresses
to be presented before the general
congress viii be fewer this year, but
the subjects and speakers we're care
fully considered and the topics cal
culated to interest and instruct every
one i'm attendance were selected. Tech
nical subjects were eliminated from
the program of the general sessions
and were assigned to the separate or
sectional programs which are being
prepared for the various affiliated or
CARNATIONS. Probably fifteen affiliated
agricultural industrial and educa-
tional organizations will meet with the
congress this year.
The program for the general SEES
sions was almost perfected and will

The A. & NJ College officials ar,

ever before, and that especial atten

ladies' attending the congress Here
tofore it has been difficult to give the
ladies as much attention as the col
lege officials have desired, but the
new dormtories make possible many
conveniences that were not before
available.
The service at the mess hall will be
improved. The executive committee
has agreed that the price for meals
can be increased from SO 1-3 cents pei
meal to 80 cents, with no charge for
sleeping accommodations, and this will
enable the mess hall to serve better
food.
1t is expected that the railroads will
grant a rate of one cent per mile each
way. which is the rate heretofore
given.
In regard to free passes the exec.
utive committee adopted the follow

Congress, and has expressed doubt as

10 reiterate our views.
1--WE feel that when one man comes

when free passes are given to any and

many of those attending may not be

I'VE feel that the railroads should

those of his opponent with esse

Highly Regards Rivers.
We do not underes timate Riv-
ers at all. We know he is a hirh-

serous at all times until nut

trained and in tiptop condition

are ideal and we shall have no ex-
cuses if we lose.
Mandot will not weigh more

Brady and Bair were the hurIers

After the second inning Brady
was practically invincible and his
team mates gave him faultless sup

Alperman and McElveen were the
heavy hitters for Atlanta, while
James and baltimore were the will
low Founders for the Volunteers.
But It was Harblson's timely wal

for half of Atlanta's runs in this
game, making him directly respon-
sihle for six runs during the after
