AT THE ILLINOIS.

When you hear hard luck stories
consider the case Of Walter Browne.
His is a human document almost with
out parallel. Every day men are
struggling and falling on worthy I'M
dertakings. Some stick TO their task,
receive the blows of fate with smiling
face, and go down to defeat and death
to have another later on take up the
work and win the victory. But Walter
Browne won a victory and immortality
after years Of struggles and never
knew it. His triumph came in the
hour of his death, but he did not taste
the sweets of success or know that he
had won
Walter Browne wrote the play call.
ed "Everywoman," to be presented
at the Illinois Oct 20 and 21 He
was a New York newspaper man, a
hardworking routine journalist who
spent Is hours day at his desk try
ing to earn living for a wife and
three children. At night he worked
upon play, play that he had
wrought out of his inner conscious
ness and which he dreamed would one
day solve the problem of his existence
and make life easier for him 1t was
hard and gruelling work because when
his day in the Office was done he was
tired and felt little like studying the
infinite problem of the construction
OF drama on new and original lines
For twelve years he labored and when
the play was completed he took it with
trembling hands to a manager who
read 1t and handed it back to him
without word of encouragement.
Browne believed in "Everywoman"
and he took it from manager to man
ager; some read it, others did not, but
handed it back to him with a grin.
Blank verse, he was told, would not
do. The public would not have IT,.
But he persevered and finally found
a producer in Henry w. Savage. A
great production was built for it, a
splendid company of actors engaged.
Then the irony of fate On the morn
ing of the day Of the first performance.
Walter Browne died He did not live

County Boys Corn Club

No single factor has been more
potent in the stimulation of profitable
corn growing in Brazos County in
the last three or four years than the
splendidly organized Boys Corn Club.
The prizes won by the boys at the
great corn shows and State fairs have
proven a wonderful stimulus prompt.
ing greater energy on the part OF old
members and encouraging further en-
listment. The three high records made
in 1912 by club boys were So bushels,
made by Hardy Hearne; SO bushels.
made by Leroy Parsons; and 70
bushels, made by Richard Hearne. all
shelled corn basis. There were also
about thirty other high records made
In 1917, also many prize shows.
The net result OF the efforts in the
corn production in Brazos County is
that the acreage has not been mate
rally increased but the output has
been doubled. This result has been
largely obtained by the older men in
curing why the boys could raise so to
So bushels of corn on practically the
same land that they were raising 10
to % bushels. They invariably find
the whole secret in the one word
cultivate.
Three years ago Brazos County en-
rolled only so boys, now there are
over 800. The club boys planted one
acre at first, but they found 1t such a
profitable occupation that many Of
them are cutivating from three to
eight acres this year.

With more than 800 students draw

fund, many of them making $40 a

boy in Texas can not attend the A.

ner. Their living expenses at the
ollege are practically as cheap as
they are at home, and their lot is in
FINELY better. Any boy who is not a
spendthrift can attend the college for

Brazos County Agriculture De-
veloped by the A. &
N. College

The development of Brazos County's
farming interests in the past few
years has been little short of wonder
full. The strides of prosperity that
have revolutionized the city of Bryan
and surrounding towns have marched
on in progressive triumph into the
pastures, fields and orchards, through
the gardens, poultry pens, stock barns,
even to the remotest bounds of this
fertile and productive territory. Every
department of farm work has felt this
new impulse of progress, and good and
glorious results are evident along all
the lines.
and Mechanical College of Texas,
where every detail of such work is
specialized. taught and demonstrated,
the people Of Brazos County are
doubly blessed in this branch of edu-
cation.
'The A. and M. College has con-
tributed more to the rapid develop
ment of the farming and livestock in
terests of Texas than any other force.
She has made good. She has reached
the farmer and she has reached the
stockman. Her graduates are actively
engaged in following the pursuits for
which they were trained. Her stu
dents are fitting themselves to render
great service to the State of Texas,
and her instructors have accomplished
untold good for Texas" Those are the
words of ex-senator w. j. Bryan of !
Abilene, who was a student at the |
college aud now has a son enrolled
there
In Texas today there are 298 farm
ers who are looking to the Agricul.
tural and Mechanical College to edu-
cate their sons. OF the 1913 cadets
enrolled at the big State school. sons
OF 29S farmers are enrolled. And OF
the total enrolment more than one
half or to be exact, 513 of the cadets
are studying agriculture. SO it looks
like the A. and NJ College is pretty
much of farmers college.
According to figures compiled by
Registrar Friiey, 10S farmers have
sons who are taking engineering
courses at the college while'there are
1876 farmers who have sons in the agri-
culture department. Seven civil en-
gineers have sons enrolled in the en-. |
cheering school and five civil engi-
neers have sons in the agriculture
department
