BACK FROM MEXICO
A Former Bryan Boy Tells Of Condi.
tions in the Land Of Revolution
and Bloodshed.

Tom A. Adams, an old Bryan boy,
residing for the past few years at hide,
Durango, Mexico, is in the city visiting
his brother, Mr.. Geo. A. Adams and
family. Mr.. Adams called at the Eagle
office this morning and is in fine
health, and shows no signs of the revo-
luton that has been raging around
him for the past two years.
He reports that 1t took him and his
party fifteen days to come by mule
team from hide, Mexico, to Maria,
Texas, where he took the train. The
journey would not have been so long,
but the relay outfits that had been ar.
ranged in advance along the way, had
been stolen.
Mr.. Adams says conditions in Mexi-
CO are simply terrible. Foodstuff is
scarce and prices have advanced from
ten to fifty times what it is worth
when conditions are normal. There is
much suffering and some deaths from
starvation and neglect in the outlying
districts.
Mr.. Adams has had charge of the
company store at indie, and furnished
the people with supplies, to which he
attributes the fact that he was given
protection and escaped any serious an

ENLARoINc WATER SYSTEM.

The City Council has decided to use
the $4,000 water bonds voted by the
people, in extending the water service
to different parts OF the city. instead
of erecting a steel water tower as was
originally proposed to be done. Both
are badly needed, and the Eagle has
on former occasions undertaken to
show the urgent, in fact. the impera-
tive need of water tower for the pro-
lection of the city In case of an &C.
cident to the pumping machinery. It
is not the purpose Of the Eagle to op-
pose the action of the council, because
we know they are doing what they be-
.lieve to be for the best interest of the
people, and also because we believe
there is nothing In the way OF having
both the extensions and the tower.
The water system is already paying
a good profit each month. and when
the extensions are made. the profits
will naturally be larger The Eagle
can see nothing In the way OF having
the tower erected and then paying it
out with the monthly profits from the
water system.

aid in exchange for shiplaster issued

Herald's advertising columns will be

enough to get himself lot of nice
green bills craven at a job printing

will be quite as good then as in the
old days when local currency in .ho
form of coonskins was in general cir
culation. The coonskins we're good for
something-they had intrinsic value.
To that extent they were preferable to
the still earlier currency, in the form
of oyster shells. Oyster shells were
perhaps the sorriest local currency
ever current, but If Editor Robinson's
ideas shall prevail possibly we shall
experience something equally bad

The "shinplaster" issued by the local
chile magnate has precisely the same
intrinsic value as the "shinplaster"
issued by the United States govern.
ment The difference is this: II offer
ed the chile magnate's shinplaster, a
fellow does not have to take it unless
he wants to. If offered that OF the
United States government. the army,
the navy, and every dollars worth of
property under the Jurisdiction of the
government, are available to make him
take it. Boiled down, II is not mat
ter of intrinsic value, but simply a
question OF confidence.

Every summer the cry of water

there is never year when the good
Lord does not send seasons similar To
the one through which we have Just
passed, water enough to run a full
year and longer, yet we, in our prodi

need more than all others, is permit
ted to go to waste. There is not a
city, not town, not husbandman
in all the world, but that can forever
obviate the question of water fam.

to utilize that which is sent free and

mans prodigality and not the Lords
parsimony-that is responsible for
the annual cry for water.

RAGING sTiMuLANTs.

On the goth day of November the
new Allison liquor law becomes effec-
tive, by the terms of which 1t will be
unlawful to ship liquor into dry terri
tory by any means whatever, and, fur.
thermore, it will be criminal offense
to give drink of whisky to person
" dry territory. This last clause is
wholly unnecessary and superfluous,
because that article is going to be SO
scarce in dry territory that II a person
should happen to come in possession
of drink Of whisky he would never
give 1t away.-Bowie County Tribune.
II the law stands as 1t seems most
likely to, it will be real prohibition
law. Much prohibition territory has
heretofore not been dry territory.
Heavy shipments have come in regr
larly. When these shipments have leg
ally ceased there is going to be either
an extreme drouth in more than half
Of Texas or there is going to be an
epidemic Of boot-legging such as has
never yet been known. It is quite pos.
sible that either of these conditions
will result in new elections. There
will be an attempt, perhaps, to vote
the saloons back into nearly every sa.
loonless county. The real test of pro-
hibition's strength and weakness may
not yet have 1gn witnessed. II the
prohibitionists generally maintain
their majorities It will mean an almost
entire elimination of beer from the
list Of private beverages in the dry
districts. Beer Is bulky and can not
be transported in quantity, by those
who will travel to the wet towns, and
under the law carry home liquors for
their personal use. This means that
compact stimulants, like whisky and
brandy. will be chosen. Men will
leave the wet towns carrying the full
limit of strong drink in jugs and bot
ties. This will be unfortunate to a
degree. 1t were better that mild stim.
ulants be employed by those who de.
mand modicum of alchohol. Strong
drink is raging, says the Scripture,
whereas mild drink is merely exhilar.
ating Hon. Cone Johnson thinks. as
reported, that beer licenses voted gen.
orally. and whisky licenses absolutely
forbidden, would make for true tenn
perance and Widespread satisfaction.
Certainly the concentrated beverages.
the soul-destroying, body.rotting pota-
tions, should be utterly abolished. And
probably they never can be unless
mild but fairly acceptable substitute
be Galveston News.

SUMMER RATION FOR HORSES
Feeding Ear or Shelied Corn Would
Be More Desirable Than Grind
ino-One Good Combination.

II corn must be fed to the horses,
grinding 1t will not pay. unless the
horses have poor teeth, in which case
it might be advisable, Feeding the
ear or shelled corn would be the more
desirable method OF feeding
Crushed corn and cob meal Ia not
as good because of the cost of crush
ing, and the amount of food value Sc
cured from the cob is SO small that
1t does not make up for the energy
required to digest SO much crude f.
Der.
A combination OF corn, bran and a
little oil meal make a good summer
ration for horses. Feeding a 1000
pound horse about ten pounds Of corn
and three pounds of bran per day
would be equivalent to IA pounds
OF oats, although it contains little
more carbohydrates and less protein,
thus making a little wider ration. A
small amount of oil meal would offset
this, However.

BREED HORSES FOR PROFIT
Or. Alexander Urges Home Production
Of Pure-Bred Stations to Re-
place tho Grades.

The principles to be followed BY
farmers in improving their horse
stock are. The use Of sound, pure
bred sires of particular breed, the
use of sound mares, the feeding and
care of the mare and foal and the
working of the stations regularly. DR.
Alexander, of the Wisconsin expert
ment station. further urges the home
production of pure-bred stations to
replace the grades, mongrels and
scrubs too often used at present. He
urges that grade horses replace scrubs
in farm teams. The organization OF
community associations will greatly
facilitate the promoting of horse
breeding and the encouragement OF
the industry may be furthered by
prizes at country fairs for pure-bred
stations, mares and colts.
The evil effects which result from
the use Of unusual sires and dams and
the transmission of hereditary dis
eases are especially emphasized II
should be easily possible to increase
the value of Wisconsin horses at least
$40 per head during the next five
years, the author points out, by the
use of sound stations and mares, anC
this would mean an addition of al
least 100000 to the total value o.
the horse stock of the state.

Packed Too Loosely.

mems. There Is neither cash or
character in this practice" A few Sec
onds or culls scattered in with lot
OF fancy specimens gives the buyer
an opportunity to discriminate against
the whole package and ruins the rep
utation Of the grower as an honest
packer.
Produce should be cool and dry be-
fore being packed. Heat and moisture
promote decay. Conditions of this
kind should be guarded against, for
decay means loss. Allow all fruit and
vegetables to cool in the packing
house, and have them dry before pack
ing. They VIII keep longer and pre-
sent better appearance at the time
of sale IL handled IN this way. So
much of the success In marketing
farm products depends upon the pack
ing, that growers cannot be too par
ticular In seeing that this work is
done in such way as to show their
produce to best advantage when put
on sale. While 1t il of the utmost i'm
portance that each package be filed
with the same grade throughout, 1t is
equally as important that it be done
carefully. With the softer varieties OF
fruit and vegetables, such as peaches
plums, tomatoes and egg plant, that
are usually put In small packages
each specimen should be placed by
hand This not only makes the pack
more attractive. but it lessons the la
bruises. Produce Of firm nature, as
apples, potatoes, ETC., will not bruise
so readily, and as result it is not
SO necessary to handle each individual
specimen in packing.
