Mr.. Thomas last night at was hard

Says the Sherman Democrat The
man who gets up with the birds and
works a little while in the garden be-
fore breakfast will have an appetite
and help make home life better" That
sounds reasonable, but we are not GO
ing to do it. In the first place, the
birds get to bed several hours before
we do, and they have less work to
look after during the day. If birds
youngsters wake up with the Group,
the head of the house can fly to an
other limb and sleep undisturbed,
while Mrs. Bird is rubbing mutton tai
low on the little ones chest and
dosing it with everything in reach. If
one of the youngsters begins crying
for drink the venerable father bird
can peck it on the head and it goes
back to sleep, but this is not the case
with human beings. Anyway, we don't
need a better appetite. If our mind
was as good as our appetite we would
be one of the leading college profess
sors of this country.-Claude Callan in
Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

FLASHES FROM MILLIcAN.

Mrs. Mary Grey, sister of R. f. Dun.
lap, one of our trustees, was laid to
rest in Wheat cemetery Tuesday, April
8. Mrs. Grey had been suffering with
tuberculosis for over two years. She
died in FL Paso, where Mr.. Grey and
other relatives had carried her to see
if the climate there would check the
ravages of the disease. Mrs. Grey
grew up in Millican and was beloved
by all who knew her. Out of respect
for her noble Christian character the
stores were closed and school turned
out so that all could attend the last
sad rites to the dead. She leaves a
husband and little son to mourn her
loss. She was in me bloom of young
womanhood and all are sad becaL$
she is gone.
Jim Brewer, an old and esteemed
citizen of Brazos County, was also
laid to rest in Wheat cemetery on
Tuesday, April I. Mr.. Brewer died
in Bryan, but his remains were
shipped to Millican for burial. A host
of friends and relatives gathered
around to pay their last respects to
the dead.
In the election here last Saturday
for trustee, Robert Fuqua was re-
turned.

In referring to the fact that Con.
gresham Joe Eage of Houston is OPP
posed to the civil service system and
believes that to the victor belongs the
spoils, the Dallas Democrat observes
that AN Eagle should soar too high
to see the spoils carrion below" The
Eagle believes the victor should have
the spoils-not the victors in party
politics, but the victor that proves
himself best equipped for the duties
of the office.

Those two days, Friday and Satur
day, are going to be days of great
interest when hundreds of young ath
letes from all parts of Texas gather
at the A. & NJ. College for the annual
interscholastic track meet. 1t is a
great advertisement for A. G. NJ, but
it costs money and the entire expense
is borne by the college people and
students. Every person in Bryan
should go at least one day and help
them out. Friday and Saturday are

EASTER AT ST. ANDREWS.

Although the weather was rather
chilly for Easter yesterday, large
number of people filled the auditorium
in the handsome Episcopal Church for
the Easter service. The interior of
the church was beautifully decorated
with fitting floral decorations and the
arrangement of these showed the art
istic work of those having the decora-
tons in charge.
The musical program was one of the
finest that could be arranged and
spoke we'll for Mrs. T. X. Lawrence's
ability as a choir directress. Every
number was splendidly rendered and
was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone
present.
Rev. Ray preached a beautiful and
impressive sermon, that was very help
full and an inspiration for all who
heard II. The service as whole was
one of the most beautiful of the kind
ever held in Bryan.
In the description Of the Episcopal
Church in Saturdays issue OF The
Eagle, mention of the memorial to G.
w. Smith Sr. was omitted by mistake.
The memorial is one of the chancel
windows, and depicts st. Andrew the
Apostle. It was given by Mrs. G. w.
Smith and family. Mr.. Smith was a /
member Of the vestry for over twenty
years.

SENATOR VEST ON WOMAN
SUFFRAGE.

Among the heroic sons of the South
who wore the grey, no drawer heart
pulsed than that of former Senator
Vest of Missouri. Distinguished on the
field of battle, he was no less distin-
guished in the Senate chamber of the
National Congress. On the field his
sword was flame of light in the SEN
ate his words were winged with fire.
There was a gentler side to his nature,
however, and he loved home and home
surroundings. His veneration for
womanhood was sublimely beautiful,
and the tower upon which he placed
her was high above the sordid things
OF earth. To him the idea of woman
suffrage was unthinkable and he pro-
tested with all his soul. Hear his
burning words on this subject
What man can without aversion
turn from the blessed memory of that
dear old grandmother, or the gentle
words and caressing hand of that
mother gone to the unknown world to
face in its stead the idea of female
justice of the peace or town constable?
For my part / want when | go to my
home-when ! turn from the arena
where man contends with man for
what we call the prizes of this paltry
world want to go back not to be
received in the masculine embrace of
some female ward politician, but to
the earnest, loving look and touch of
true woman. / want to go back to
the jurisdiction of the wife, the
mother, and instead of lecture upon
finance or the construction of the con-
stitution, want those blessed, loving
details of domestic love. = = What
we want in this country is to avoid
emotional suffrage, and what we need
is to put more logic into public af-
fairs and less feeling. There are /
spheres in which feeling should be
paramount. There are kingdoms in
which the heart should reign supreme.
That kingdom belongs to woman-the !
realm of sentiment, the realm of love,
the realm of the gentler and the holier
and the kindlier attributes that make
the name of wife. mother and sister

That's great joke on the wife, isn't

UNCLE SAM INsPEcTS
THE TEXAS GRANARIES

Mckinney, Tex. April 10. - There
were 4S,960,0O0 bushels of corn on
Texas farms on March 1, according to
the returns of a recent canvass made
by crop correspondents OF the United
States Department of Agriculture,
made public here recently. Compared
with last year. this is decrease OF
$4,000 bushels, or per cent less
than the stocks on hand March ],
1918.
The farmers of Texas last year pur-
chased 100000 bushels of corn from
outside the State and present indica-
tons are that the 1914 imports will
exceed this amount by several million
bushels. Some of the product is being
shipped from Argentina. South Ameri-
ca, as the recently enacted tariff law
permits this cereal to enter ports Of
the United States duty free, yet the
principal supply of the imported grain
is coming from the original sources.
viz: Kansas, Oklahoma, Iowa, Louis
lana and Missouri.
While so per cent OF the corn raised
by Texas farmers Is merchantable, Il
is largely consumed on the farms
where produced, there being only 6
per cent Of the crop shipped out of
the county where grown. Texas corn
on March this year was netting pro-
ducers 81 cents, compared with 60
cents per bushel on the same date last
wear.

Saved North,1cst to United States.

The death u Francis Xavier Mat
thieu in Aurora Ole, at the age Of
ninety-siX years reveals a maker Of
history. 1t is claimed that the vote of
this French pioneer preserved a great
slice Of the northwest to the United
States. The old Oregon territory, in
Guiding Oregon. Washington, Idaho
and a part of Wyoming, once trembled
in the balance. clay 3, 1S43. settlers
assembled at CESmpoeg, Ore, to de-
eide whether tkfy should be under
British rule or tEs rule Of the United
States. Two linek formed, one for the
British and one fer the United States,
and when the col:at was made there
were %tifty-one on ZACH side. For many
minutes the men Of the two lines
glared at one another and not a word
was spoken. Suddenly, to the sur
prise Of all, MatIhieu, a Freedman,
born and reared under the British
flag, stepped out of the British line
and walked SLOWLY to the American
line and Oregon was saved to this
country.-Springfiaid Republican.

Oil the Streets.

Some weeks ago Mrs. Douthart stated
in the Press and Banner some facts about
oiling the streets that she had observed du-
ring q short resinence in a northern town.
II the information is correct and doubtless
it is, the City of Abbeville could not do
better than try the experiment. If the
cost and trouble OF daily watering the
streets can be eliminated and n oiling
will last as long as Mrs. Douthart thinks,
oiling will save money in the end. That
immidiatee xpendenture would be consider
able. there is no doubt, but effectiveness
Is the thing to be desired.
Oiling the streets does away with dust
entirely, while watering, refreshing as it
is at the time, lasts for only a few hours.
If there is any considerable difference in
the cost figured for the whole time
that oiling will prove effective, it Is BELLE
we'd that the business men Of the City
would gladly make up a part of the differ
ence.
This project is we'll worthy Of the serious
consideration of the City Counsul, and the
Civic League, and it is suggested that they
take it up partly with a view to ascertain
ng the cost.

patty of the entire community.
Mrs. Greene was q native Of Abbeville,
reared in our midst and was highly es-
teeme6 by all. Her death was peculiarly
sad as she had been married less than a
year, and had every promise OF a life OF
happiness, anchored in the affection OF her
husband. But she has passed from the
vale Of tears" leaving the young husband
and her fathers family in lonliness. Her
Christian character and her sunny life re-
main as an heritage to her bereaved hus-
band and her family.
