Drinking Fountain Completed.

The handsome drinking fountain was
finished last week and accepted by the
Civic Club last Saturday. The COM
mittee having the matter in charge
has not formally turned the fountain
over to the city on account Of the ex-
IRENE weather which has ~precluded
getting the city fathers out to make
an inspection. The fountain is a
beauty and the work seems to be
splendid in every way. 1t is certainly
far in advance of anything of the sort
the writer has see in towns of this
size, and would be a credit to any
city. The ladies deserve much COM
mendation for their enterprising spirit,
and the fountain will stand as a mon
ument to the club for years to come

There was a move started in Bryan
several months ago to secure two
beautiful drinking fountains, but as
yet 1t has not materialized. Perhaps
they will come later.

Use of Dynamite in Farming.

Beeville, Texas, Jan. 10.--Farming
with dynamite is one of the newest
methods that is being demonstrated in
different sections of Southwest Texas.
Pubic demonstrations have been made
in various sections and are watched
WITH much interest by the land owners
Of that part Of the state. 1t is claimed
that this process of s~ubsoiling can be
done better with dynamite than by any
other means and that the ground will
retain moisture longer than soil not
blasted, and the cost of the work is
not greater than any thrifty farmer
can afford. If the experiments that are
now being conducted prove successful,
farming methods will be completely
revolutionized.

WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE
TELEPHONE SERVICE IN
BRYANT

To the Editor Of The Bryan Eagle:
There was a time when the tele-
phone service in Bryan was the very
best In the state, or at least there was
none better. For about a year 1t has
gone from bad to worse, until 1t is now
almost intolerable. Judging from the
general complaint Of the public, one
can safely say that every person who
has a telephone, either in their home
or place of business, is ready to sign
a petition for better service. One has
to ring over and over again to get the
central office, and after much vexation
Of spirit in getting a response, then
comes the tug Of war" to be discon-
nected. Telephones have become a
necessity for commercial purposes.
The grocer, the banker, the butcher,
the baker, not to mention the social
and club affairs of the women, are all
dependent upon the telephone. Sew
eral instances have been reported
where one was In dire need OF a ply.
stefan at night but could not get one
because the telephone failed to ring
for the doctor. Such carelessness
might result in death to a sick man,
woman or child; for usually a physi-
clan is not called for on a freezing
night unless there Is an urgent neces-
sity. For instance, If one should be
stricken with meningitis, a physician
must be called at one or the patient
is hopeless. Several cases of menin-
gifts have been reported where the
patient has died in four hours. Who
is to blame for this dangerous condi-
ton of the telephone system in Bryan?
Who has authority to remedy it? The
public pleads for better service.

dies Reading Club, Civic League,
United Daughters of the Confederacy,
and many business men.

of coming home early in the morning,
falling down the stairs and waking her
up. No true Southern gentleman will
disturb his wife's beauty sleep. That

enough to pad himself before falling
downstairs, first, because that is the
