CONFIDENCE REsUmlNe.

The parting salute 20 the State Fair
at Dallas is embodied in the words:
zone Of the greatest fairs which |
Texas has ever SEEM
The Texas Cotton Palace at Waco
is begun and put fairly on Its way
with the report that "the second day
mas broken all previous records OF
attendance for the first Sunday OF the
big exposition"
The keynote to the tale OF each oil
these events is public satisfaction
These reports are heartily welcome
to the people OF Texas and ought to
be taken as meaning great deal IN
the way of a public spirit of conf
dence. They make It harmless to re-
call suggestions OF weeks ago that the
interruption OF trade and the general
anxiety concerning the conflict abroad
would have depressing effect upon
such popular celebrations during the
fall and early winter. The actual
facts are that there has been, and
there now bus fair TO continue, sit
uation quite the reverse.
These State and regional exposi;
lions are bringing out the people and
are fixing their minds on Texas pro
gress and the promise of prosperity
giving them something worth while
10 think about. Perhaps there have
been too many false alarms and false
suggestions near home. Perhaps In
the face Of many unsound plans and
proposals that appeared to regard
emergency conditions as the forerun'
ners of permanent hardships. the peo'
ple have been prone TO forget. for the
time being, their underlying strength
and assured resource.
That is why the success Of the State
Fair and the likelihood OF success for
the Texas Cotton Palace, as well as
the optimistic reports that have come
from nearly every county and district
fair given this fall, spell good news.
They are reminders that the State
possesses what. by testimony of daily
information from all parts, the world
needs and already is calling for. They
are welcome relief; productive sub
stance taking the place of politica
froth and calling attention to bushes:
opportunities instead of raisinl
alarms that utterly ignore these on
portunities.-San Antonio Express.

having assembled in response to
clever and attractive Halloween inyi-

The witches den was visited, where
chilli from an iron pot was served
and on the campus a fortune teller
was camped, where a gypsy foretolt
the futures of the guests. Refresh
ments of apples, popcorn balls an'

The Eagle is pleased TO endorse a
splendid suggestion coming from our
friend, ]. d. Martin, to the effect that
Brazos County should begin now to
prepare for a larger and better conn'
ty fair for 1915, and that in arranging
a premium list for the 1915 fair the
largest and most valuable premiums
should be given for the best general
exhibit OF agricultural products and
livestock produced by any school dis
trict in the county. This is certainly
a splendid suggestion and one that
the Commercial Club will do well to
consider carefully. With each school
district organized under the Brazos
County Crop Diversihcation and Mar
keting Association. which is now well
under way. this plan will fit nicely
into the general scheme OF county
development. We commend this plan
to the careful consideration OF the
agricultural committee OF the Com
mercial Club.

Relies Of an Unknown Race.

DIR. George A. Reisner, professor OF
Egyptology at Harvard, who is con-
Quoting explorations and excavations
In Egypt, has sent word that he has
discovered evidences of a people and
civilization that existed in upper
Egypt 300 years ago and of which
no record or evidence has heretofore
existed. He made these discoveries
at a point which marks one Of the
outposts to the south Of ancient
Egyptian civilization. near Kerma and
not far from the Nile.
According to Dr. Relsner the inhabl-
tants were neither Egyptians nor me-
groes, and their pottery is the finest
and most beautiful made In the Nile
valley.
Many of the treasures in ivory.
stone. and pottery which DR.. Reisner
has sent to the Boston Museum OF
Fine Arts were taken from the graves
of chiefs.
Apparently six or seven subjects
were buried alive with the body Of
each chief.

NEW CHEESE FACTORY AT THOMAS
Farmers of Custer County Enthusias-
tic over new Industry.

The new cheese factory at Thomas
began operations June 1, and milk
routes have been worked up by the
farmers in all directions from the
town. The price paid for milk is $l05
per hundred through the summer
months. Mel Stronach, the manager
of the cheese factory says he will
give the industry thorough test,
and that he can see no good reason
why Oklahoma cannot produce as
good cheese as is made in New York
and Wisconsin.
Patrons of the new enterprise are

expert, and should his report be favor
