BRAZOS COUNTY MEETS ALL
NEEDS.

The Eagle has had no occasion as
yet to surrender its contention that
BraZos is the very best county in
Texas in which to build home and
locate permanently. We always have
rain and total crop failure has never
been known. There may be richer
soil in the State, but year in and year
out, we have them all beaten. We al
ways deliver the goods. Severe
storms and cyclones are unknown.
The whole county is dotted with splen-
did churches and no county in Texas
has a superior rural school system.
With the A. & NJ. College, Bryan Bap-
fist Academy, Allen Academy, Villa
Maria Ursuline Convent and the city
public schools, we have them all beat
en- in educational advantages. We
can take care of all, from the primary
department to the finished product in
academic, higher arts and scientific
training. The children of Brazos
County do not have to go beyond its
borders for an education in any line
they may choose. The whole county
is closely connected with rural tele
phone systems and by the rural de
livery system the citizens of the coun
ty are served with daily mail deliver
ed at their doors. Brazos County has
every element for the making OF the
ideal home. Come to Brazos County

UNITED STATES TRADE WITH
ARGENTINA, BRAZIL AND CHILE

Washington, May. S.-Recent events
have directed special attention to the
trade of the United Stats with Argen-
tina, Brazil and Chile, and the COM
parative rank of those countries as
International markets. They possess
an aggregate area of 4,723 900 square
miles, or one and one-third times that
of the United States, have a combined
population OF 36,500,0O0, or slightly
less htan that OF France. and foreign
trade OF 1900 million dollars, approx
mately equal to that OF Belgium, or
nearly one-half that of the United
States. A recent analysis made by the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce, Department OF Commerce.
shows that as markets for American
products, Argentina, Brazil and Chile
taken as a group buy from us four
times as much as China, twice as
much as Japan, one and one-half times
as much as Mexico, one.third as much
as Germany. one-fourth as much as
Canada. and one-fifth as much as Eng
| land.
Our trade with the "A. B. c." group
above named, amounting last year to
267 million dollars, represented about

THE QUIET MIND.

Calmness, serenity, cheerfulness,
are characteristics that anyone may
have but what few do possess.
Nervousness, eXcitabilty, a sense of
haste, of being obliged to accomplish
tasks in time too short for them,
are more common phenomena. The
breathless hurry of modern life does
not conduce to peaceful contemplation
and is responsible for the mental rest
lessness that distinguishes a large
number of men and women. Inability
10 concentrate the mind, a fitting
from subject to subject, with deep
interest in none, constant search
for excitement, are marks peculiar to
them.
They do not always, nor often, know
what the real difficulty is, and if they
do realize that something is wrong
will not know what is the remedy,
Yet it is ever at hand and simply
means a little determination and self.
control. The man who snaps at his
wife and children, his office boy or
anyone near at hand whom he is not
afraid of, is not eXcusable because he
is tired or overstrained. His state OF
mind is none the better for this mani
festation of petulance. The same is
true of the woman who flies into a
tantrum at the smallest provocation
slaps her children, scolds her husband

ton to this general statement is found
in imports from Argentina, unprece-

signed with the Federals before Ford
did. Willett was on his way south
to start training with the Detroit
club when he met Mordecal Brown in

come with the Federals.
Il knew that Ford was flirting with
the Federals last week. I telephoned
President Farrell in New York and
gave him a chance to take steps to
prevent Ford leaving New York. Far
rell did not seem much interested. He
said Ford's two-year contract had ex-
pired and that no one in the Amer
lean or National League had been
particularly anxious to trade any
good players for Ford. Farrell said
Ford was not worth the $500 year
the New York club was paying him
and that he had several rows with
Manager Chance last year because
Ford did not want to do his share
OF the pitching.
