FARM FACTS
By PETER RADFORD.

President Farmers Union.
All things come to him who hustles
while he farms.
Good roads turneth away wrath.
The penalty of farm tenancy is
worse than the crime.
Entertain no desire that does not
aspire to better farming.
Keep faith with the farmer and he
will keep faith with you.
Patience and industry are two es-
sentials in successful farming.
A good roads bond election is a bus
mess deal based on the law of supply
and demand.
Personal contact with Gods soil is
among the first steps toward attaining
the life sublime 1aEaklEIT
The modern successful farmer reads,
thinks and does his own bookkeeping
The hand that receives the benefit
should stand the burden.
The silo is the farm barometer of
progress.
A farmer may be broken in every
thing but spirit and poor in everything
but faith and courage, and then come
out on top.
Prosperity refuses to travel over
poor roads. Improve your highways.
EnoTlS VIII IuTH lnto results, IL one
only keeps on earnestly, honestly and
sincerely trying.
Practice makes perfect. The more
fault man finds the more expert he
becomes at it.
The man who wins is always pop
ular. A loser has hard row to hoe.
Be a winner.
The development of any community
depends largely upon the productive
ness of the soil and the energy of the
people,

THEY REFUSE TO STATE WHERE

Governor Colquitt and the Galveston
News claim that Resolution IS, to be
voted on as a constitutional amend
ment, would build up both the State
University and the A. and NJ. College.
Neither of them, however, has init
mated whether the building up of the
A. and M. College would be at its pres
ent location, or after its removal to
the campus of the State University.
Everybody remembers Governor Col
quits dream as to the ideal univer-
sity" set forth in his message to the
Legislature. In that dream he not only
placed the A. and M. College, but all
the State normals on the campus of
his ideal university.
The section of the resolution cover
ing this point reads as follows:
"The Legislature, however, shall
have power to authorize the issuance
of bonds, to be approved by the Gov
ernor, for the purpose of purchasing
additional ground and erect necessary
buildings FOR THE UNIVERSITY
OF TEXAS, including a MEDICAL
DEPARTMENT, an AGRICULTURAL
AND MECHANICAL COLLEGE, and
all departments and activities of a
complete university of the first class"
This is the reading of the proposed
amendment, verbatim, and just how
the A. and NJ. College could be built
up under same at its present location,
we are free to confess, is beyond our
power of logic and reason. On the
other hand, it looks mighty like the
furtherance, or realization of the Gov
ernors dream-"necessary buildings
for the University, including a med
ical department, an agricultural and
mechanical college," etc. It looks like
the one step necessary to hive the
whole State educational system on
one great campus, even as the Gov
ernor dreamed. We are not a Daniel
given to the Interpretation of dreams,
but to a man up tree this is the way
it looks.
If this is not the meaning, then
mistake was made in the wording and
it should be voted down. If it should
become a part of the Constitution in
its present form, the authority would
exist for the building of an agricul-
tural and mechanical college as a part
of the University, next year, two years
from now, ten years, or any time in
the future.
Two years is not long to wait and
the interests of the University will
not suffer in that time. Let the amend
ment be voted down, and when the
Legislature meets in 1915 let the work
of separation of the two institutions
be completed, let the University lands
be equitably divided, and then have
a constitutional amendment for the
benefit of the University submitted,
that will be plain, direct, not confusing
and not mixed up with various other
matters.
1t looks to The Eagle like this would
be the part of wisdom. 1t would sim
plify matters, and eliminate all con-
fusion. If adopted in its present form,
there will always be confusion be-
tween the State and the two schools.

SCRAMBLE FOR OFFICE.

This Federal patronage distribution
matter has reached the nausea stage.
The payment of political debts, and
the placing of personal friends and
relatives govern in every case. The
question of efficiency and capability
to render service has been lost sight
of in the scramble for pelf.-Bryan
Eagle.
Probably the last thing to disappear
from the old order of politics will be
the spoils idea. In the old days there
was but one big thing in politics-the
offices. And in order to get the offices
it was a high recommendation for a
party man TO be such to the extent
that people would say of him that he
would vote for yellow dog if it were
on the ticket" The present admins
tration at Washington is there because
that sort of political doctrine has
passed with the ignorance and super
stition of other days. But the clamor
for office and the scramble for spoils
is almost as urgent as it was in those
other days when the slogan was ito
the victors belong the spoils." Mr..
Wilson has wisely chosen not to listen
to the clamor of hordes of office-seek-
ers. They are not the men to whom
the party must look for its reward.
They are not the men to whom the
present administration owes its sue
cess. The Bryan contemporary is look
ing at the dark side of the picture.
While there are many hungry seekers
after place the number is not so great
as it might have been in former times.
And the interest that they are able to
arouse in Washington is not enough
to make the country pause to contem-
plate the raid. The political status of
the Nation is better than it used to be.
Galveston News.
The Eagle did not mean at all that
there was horde of hungry seekers"
raising hades at Washington. The
seekers" are behaving nicely. What
The Eagle meant was that those who
have the distribution of the spoils in
their power are doing the scrambling
to get their relatives and political
friends in on the jobs. They are not
willing to let the people rule at all,
but are placing their own friends at
all hazards.
We have particular reference to the
postoffice appointments at Texarkana
and Ennis. At both these places pri-
maries were held, but in neither in.
stance did the peoples choice win
recognition from the powers that be.
At Texarkana the people held a pri-
mary and recommended a citizen for
postmaster. Senator Morris Sheppard,
however, wanted his friend Henry,
who happened to be brother of Con-
gresham Bob Henry, to have the job,
so he kicked the will of the people off
the earth, recommended Mr.. Henry,
and he has been appointed by Presi-
dent Wilson.
At Ennis another primary was held,
and the nominee was recommended by
Congressman Jack Beall of that dis

as possible.

T. w. Gregory, Esq, Of Austin, has
been appointed by President Wilson
as special attorney in the Department
OF Justice at Washington, and he will
soon remove to that city. He ought
to be well qualified for the job, as he
has had large experience as special
attorney" not in the Department of
Justice however. He was one of the
coterie of Austin lawyers who feasted
of the corporations by means of dam
age suits during the regime of Robert
Vance Davidson as Attorney General.

CORN CROP SHOWS
ENORMOUS LOSS

An enormous loss in The prospective
production of corn, and Indications OF
the biggest wheat crop ever produced
were the features o. the government S
September crop report. Hot weather
and drought in a rumoer of the princi-
pal corn growing states during Sep
TENDER caused "a deterioration OF corn
which experts calculate has resulted in
the loss of 32l 900, 00O bushels, reducing
the corn crop estimates 10 2,352, 900 900
bushels This destructive crop weather
caused a loss of about 100000, 900 bush
els during July, and the August loss
brought the total up to III, 900, 900 since
the first estimates of corn prospects
were made by the government.
Texas alone, of uhe six greatest corn
growing states, held her own during
August, Nebraska was hit, the deteriora-
ton there during the month amounting
to 80 per cent bringing the condition
OF the crop to 81 per cent of a normal
The loss in Missouri was 80 per cent,
the crop being IL per cent OF normal
Kansas reported condition of 10 per
cent. of normal, the lowest ever re-
corded, and loss of 20 per cent during
September. Illinois, with the greatest
acreage OF any state planted to corn, re-
ported condition 62 per cent, loss
of II per cent Iowa reported &c per
cent, a loss of per cent Oklahoma,
60 per cent, a loss of . per cent.
Never before in the history of the
country has there been such bountiful
wheat harvest as has been gathered this
year. This was due principally to the
bumper crop OF winter wheat. The gov
ernments estimate of the spring wheat
crop showed increased prospects for that
crop. making the total production 213,-
O000o0 bushels, or an increase of 4.3 per
cent over the August estimate. This
Increase brought the estimate of the
total wheat crop of the country to 75i,-
COCOON, or 10000 bushels more than
the great record crop of 1901.
Cats prospects, too, showed an in
crease of 81 per cent. as a result of the
conditions existing during August and
the crop now is estimated at ,06G, 0000 900
bushels. or $4,000, 900 bushels more than
predicted in August.
Weather conditions during August
caused deterioration which is estimated
to have resulted in the loss of $4,000 600
bushels of potatoes, 35,000,000 pounds of
tobacco and 900. $50 tons OF hay. Bar

From Nervous Breakdown

Impoverished nerves destroy many
people before their time. Often be-
fore sufferer realizes what the
trouble is, he is on the verge of a
complete nervous breakdown. 1t
is of the utmost importance to keep
your nervous system in good COIL
dition, as the nerves are the source
of all bodily power. Mrs. Anna
Kounz, 2II Mechanic ST., Pueblo,
Colo, says:
For many years I suffered from
nervous prostration; / was unable
to do any house work and doctors

Sometime-the date cannot be

murdered two prospectors, known
only as "Scotty'' and ''The Swede,"
because he needed their clothes and

10, who accidentally encountered

Later another posse found the
bodies of Deputies Colin Mckenzie
and A. V. Elmer in a shallow grave.
The shorter Elmer lay at the head
of McKenzie's feet, forming ''T'' for
''Tornow."
For more than a year after the dis
coveries of the bodies of the deputies,
the beast man did not show his face.
Then, the other day, Deputy
Sheriff Giles Quimby and Louis Blair
and Charles Lathrop, trappers, all
three dead shots, found the carcass
of an elk and tracks leading away
from it.

a trap. He knew he was being fol-
lowed and hid himself in the brush
at the edge of the little clearing. He
listened to the three man-hunters as
they whispered together, planning to
surround the shack.
-Quimby made a detour to the rear.
When he was gone Tomow shot
Blair and Lathrop in their tracks.
Quimby ran back, saw the head of
the outlaw peering around a tree and
opened fire.
Tornow continued pumping lead
into the PROSTATE bodies of Blair and
Lathrop. When Quimby's rifle was
empty he fed to logging camp and
telephoned to the sheriff.
Next day the posse reached the
clearing. They found the bodies of
the two trappers and short distance
away, by the tree, the body of Tor
now. Quimby's last wildly fired shot
had pierced his brain.
The hair and whiskers of the dead
mailman were long and matted. His
clothes were gunnysacking held to-
gether by rawhide throngs. In the
clearing was found a small, artificial
pool covered over with a net made of
woven willow branches. This net
held prisoner hundreds of frogs on
which the mailman lived. He saved
his cartridges for the grim business
of murder.
His bed in the shack was of fir
boughs and so placed that he could
command view of every approach
to the clearing.
So dense is the jungle about the
shack that the bodies could not be
brought out until the posse had cut
a trail from it ten miles to the road.
