As the bond issue is taking shape
for a system OF good roads in Brazos
County, The Eagle would like to make
this one suggestion-lets build roads
that will be here when Gabriel blows
his trumpet The Eagle would prefer
only ten miles that will stand a hun
dred years, than a hundred miles that
will only stand ten years. We are
going to create a debt on which our
children must make the final pay
ments, which is all right, but let us
also be sure to build roads that will
be here for our children.

What We should like to know is,
why do finely conditioned Tennessee
turkeys sell In Birmingham, Alap for
20 cents a pound as against ordinary
turkeys in the Houston market for
20 cents a pound? And why should a
turkey that cost the dealer not more
than 10 or IA cents pound live
weight sell dressed at 20 cents a
pound Houston Post
And we should like to ask why, II
turkeys are worth 25 cents pound
in Houston, they are only worth liz
cents in Bryan Doubling the price
in one hundred miles looks like going
a little too strong.

Senator Culberson wants to see
Texas farmers get 10 cents a pound
for their cotton, and would have the
government issue necessary bonds.
Governor ColQuitt would accomplish
the same end by other means. And
yet there are great many people
opposing the efforts of both these
worthy men to bring relief to our
farmers.-Kosse Cyclone.
The Eagle does not believe the
farmers can be guaranteed ten
cents pound for cotton under a bond
proposition, any more than they could
be guaranteed bale to the acre. The
one and only way farmers can be alb.
solutely assured Of ten cents a pound.
is to keep the production below the
consumption.
