BRYAN's WATER PRoshEM.
A Suggestion as to Nearby Surface
Supply at Small Expense.

While there are mariy~problems for
the city council and all the people of
Bryan as well to solve before Bryan
can ever hope to take many more long
steps forward, there is one especially
that must be solved, and that without
much longer delay. This, of course,
everyone will understand at once to
be the water question. A good supply
OF water is the most important thing
to the existence as well as the pro-
gress of any city, and the sooner that
question is permanently settled the
better Judgment does it show on the
part of the council. Bryan is very
unfortunate in her natural supply of
water In fact, she has no supply.
and to make the situation more dis
tressing we are just now approaching
what we might reasonably expect TO
be a long, hot, dry summer and fall,
with what we all know to be an in
adequate supply of water. and | am
told that the council in its straits are
figuring on another well or wells
when the surface of the earth is ah-
solutely perforated with wells, wells,
wells I remember that when ] was

more than thirty years ago, Bryan s
city council was pouring 'scads' OF
money into an almost bottomless,
waterless hole in the ground" with
the forlorn hone of getting artesian
or some other kind of water but that
well proved to be a "duster' Since
which time the city has spent enough
money on unsatisfactory wells to have
built a reservoir large enough to hold
fve-year supply of water, and built
it strong enough to have stood thou
sand years. And yet we are face to
face with the fact that Bryan Will
have to adopt some other water sys-

PREVENTING HOUSE FLIES.

Last summer | visited a community,
and one of the first things ! noticed
was the small number of house flies.
Upon investigation | found the reason
why this neighborhood elected to put
up with millions less flies than usual.
When the first fly showed up there
fwere fly-paper, fly-traps and fly-swat-
tiers waiting to get him. The folks
said they saved the battle by getting
the early flies.
| found all doors and windows
screened. traps about the kitchen
doors and near the stables, all rags
and rubbish kept burned and no flies
The neighbors kept the manure in
fly.proof closets and the manure
sprinkled with small shovelful of
chloride of lime. The manure closets
were screened where there were win
dows left for ventilation purposes.
Since the flies breed in the stables
more than elsewhere, those pro
gressiye farmers cleaned the stable
every day and sprinkled lime on the
floors.
The results of these clean conditions
about the homes had been a reduction
in the typhoid fever in the community,
as well as lessening other worries oc-
casioned by the pest. The physicians
are authority for this statement.
Moral: Get the first fly when he
arrives, and maybe you'll save having
to bother with the second one.-Chas.
w. Cashier, Lavon, Texas.

COVER CROPS VERSUS FALL
FLOWING.

Please give me some information on
the subject of cover crops versus fall
blowing. What part of the farm would
you practice fall blowing on. under
what conditions, how often and at
what time?
There is no-versus in the matter.
Fall blowing of clay soils is good, but
fall blowing without a cover crop is
bad in the South, Up North, where
the soil is locked up with frost all
winter. it may pay to pillow clay land
late in the fall and leave 1t rough for
the frost to mellow, but fall-plowed
land in the South should always have
a green winter crop. Fall blowing
without cover crop would be es-
pecially bad on sandy soil.-W. f.

MANY INSPECTED
SAND -CLAY ROAD
over 100 out-of-Town Visitors In
structed in Highway Improve
ment by Citizens of league.

league, Tex. April 2O.-More than
100 out-of-town people visited
leagues government sand-clay road
demonstration here Saturday.
In response to invitations sent out
by the local Chamber of Commerce
during the week, representative dele
cations from adjoining counties and
surrounding towns assembled in the
city early Saturday morning for the
purpose of visiting this mile of gov
eminent built highway and of having
a last opportunity Of hearing sand-clay
road construction explained by the
government engineer, Mr.. AbrenZ,
who has had charge of the work.
An informal reception was held at
the Chamber of Commerce, at which
the crowd was addressed by Mayor
!. B. Looney, who detailed particularly
the plan and purpose of league and
Freestone County in road construction
and inviting the entire party to visit
this piece of road while it might he
seen in the various stages OF con-
struction Twenty automobiles We're
employed to carry the crowd to the
site of the road building, and mounted
on the running board of an automo-
bile. Engineer Abrenz explained in de-
tail the method of sand-clav road con
struction, giving the visitors some
very important pointers as to the care
and maintenance, life and possibilities
of such roads. At noon a compli'
mentarv lunch was served to the Wis
itors. More than thirty-fiye good roads
boosters from Normangee and North
Zulch were in attendance.
This piece of government built road
is a shining example of what can be
done with sand and clay and energy
and it is now generally conceded here
that the sand-clay road is the solution
of the country road problem in this
country.

No 2. His announcement Is made
subject to the July Democratic pri-

ings of the court, as well as promptly

wELLeoRN DEFEATED HARVEY
Took First Game Of the Season by the
Score OF to l.

In one of the swiftest games ever
played on the Wellborn field, Harvey
went down in defeat Saturday after
noon at the hands of Wellborns in
vincible nine. One of the greatest
features of the game was the pitching
of Crockett and Deason, which held
Harvey's men at the mercy of the two
pitchers. Harvey did not get clean
hit. In the sixth inning Harvey raj
lied and made their only score, but
made that on errors. Deason walked
the first man. four errors were made
following them, Harvey made their
only run.
When Harvey scored there were
three men on bases, but they were I'M
able to score by Deason striking out
two straights.
Harvey's men were in fine spirits
and played in their usual manner.
The team was in fine working order
and showed up well as result of
much practice. Rains and Pate pitch
ed for Harvey and did good work, but
only got nine strikeouts.

HOW SUNDAY TELLS 1T.

The baseball evangelist, Billy Sun
day has many defenders as well as
many critics Mr. Bryan regards him
as remarkable preacher, and many
of the ministers of the evangelical
churches hold him in high regard, pre-
ferring to Judge him rather by results
than by methods or language.
There is nothing very solemn about
Sunday. He has his own way of tell
ing things and he uses the vernacular
of the tough and vulgar when he
chooses. We are indebted to the Co.
lumbia Record for this quotation
showing how the evangelist relates
the story of David and Goliath, one of
the Bible classics:
when David was at the camp Of
the army next morning, Goliath, the
big giant strutted out in front of the
Philistine army and shouted at the
other fellows: Come on, you NUTS:
If you want anything out of me, come
on out and get It, I'll give you what's
coming to you!' And he strutted back
and forth. David said to Saul: Who's
that big stiff making all that noise out
there" That's Goliath replied Saul
we'll why uOn you go out ana get
him. asked David He does that ev-
cry day., answered Saul and he's got
my goat I'll 20 after him." said
David, as he nut on Saul's armor,
which was so big that he looked like
a man in a hand-me-down suit four
sizes too big for him. Nothing do
ing said David, and he took off the
armor and went down to the brook
and picked out some smooth pebbles.
He put one in his sling and went out
and whirled it around his head and
fred II at the giant The stone hit
him on the coco between the lamps
and he went to the mat for the count"
We can fancy how certain classes
of young toughs would enjoy the Bible
If it could be translated into the ver-
nacular of the prize ring and other
centers Of slangdom, but we doubt if
people OF refinement and piety could
be brought to an appreciation of the
Sunday version OF scriptural history.
Ii is hard to blame those who totally
disapprove Sundays methods, il the
coarseness which charncterizes the
foregoing excerpt from one of his SER
mons is manifested in all his work.

Too bad this Mexican trouble came
up and spoiled Houston's San Jacinto
Day plans. She was going TO put the
big pot in the little one and had in
yited all the States to come down and
see the $1,000 soldiers that had come
over from Texas City for the occasion.
Cruel war, however, not knowing of
Houston's plans, snatched the soldiers
away and sent them whirling to the
