LOOK FOR A RAISE
IN CANNED GOODS

New York, Aug. 19.-The tin can
preserving industry In this country,
through which II is estimated that
nearly so per cent Of the food is dis
tributed, is threatened with complete
paralysis as a result OF the embargo
placed upon tin by London, which con-
trolls the market. All the fruits and
vegetables to be caned this year are
gathered between August and October.
All the big tin plate mills are now
running at their fullest capacity to
meet the demand OF the canneries In
every part Of the land. Not only has
the price OF tin jumped 100 per cent,
but there are indications that the pres
ent small supply is being cornered.
An expert has said: There will be
an increase all along the line in canned
goods. Those who have supplies in
hand will hold them in anticipation OF
the shutting down of the big tin plate
mills. The way the London market will
send up the prices of canned peaches,
corn, mushrooms--in fact, OF every
food product which comes in tins-is
very easily understood"

aged to reach this country before the
war of Europe broke out, and Mr..

BRAzos COUNTY sLANpEReD.

We have quite enough troubles OF
our own TO take care OF without hay
ing TO shoulder the shortcomings OF
others. Nayasota and Grimes County
have nothing to do with the piece OF
miserable road just north of the Nava-
sofa river. II is Brazos County soil
and is a sample OF the dirt roads all
over that county. To the credit OF the
people Of Bryan. they realize the In
justice OF such highways and are en-
deavoring TO mold sentiment in favor
OF a bond issue to build roads. They
ought TO rope few OF the kickers and
drag them through this particular mud
hole, or better still. leave them In the
center Of 1t to work their way out I'M
aided.-Navasota Examiner.
The Eagle does not care to enter
into a controversy with the Examiner
and will not be drawn into same, yet
we cannot permit any such statement
as is contained In the above article.
to go unchallenged. The statement
that the lane above referred to, which
is a black. sticky mudhole in the
Nayasota river bottom, is "a sample
OF the dirt roads all over that county,"
is a gross misstatement and absolutely
false in every respect. Not only that.
but the editor OF the Examiner him
self knows the statement is not true.
We would not insult his intelligence
by presuming that he does not know
that all the roads OF Brazos County
are not as bad as the quagmire re-
ferred to. There is not a ten-year-old
child In Navasota but knows the hun
dreds OF miles OF roads In Brazos
County on the high. sandy soils are
better than the low, black, sticky mud
hole referred to. Why the Examiner
would wish to SANDER Brazos County
in any such way and cast an unjust
reflection upon us, Is more than The
Eagle is able to understand. There Is
absolutely no cause for Grimes County
to wish to do Brazos County an injury,
and for that reason we are at loss
to understand the motive OF the Ex-
aminer editor in making the above
statement. It is on a line with his
attack on Bryan last year in regard
to her lighting system. No one has
ever yet been able to understand the
motives that actuated him then.
Everybody in Bryan, in fact in all
Brazos County, regrets the condition
of the road referred to and an earnest
effort is being made to inaugurate an
era of good roads work in the county,
and 1t is the hope of all that the de-
fects in our roads may be cured as
speedily as possible, but in the mean.
time we hope to escape misrepresenta-
uOn, especially wnen we are sualnlng
every nerve to better conditions. II
we were utterly Indifferent, then there
would be some excuse for such cen
sure as we would deserve it.
In regard to the statement that
Navasota and Grimes County have
nothing to do with the "piece of mis-.
cradle road just north of the Navasota
river" The Eagle would suggest that
Navasota planters own the farms on
either side of the miserable piece, y
and 1t occurs to us they would have
some interest in the road even II it is
Brazos County soil. 1t is Navasota
owned Brazos County soil. Don't for.
