MARCH 4.

Elective terms of office in the
United States begin on March 4. The
President is inaugurated on that day
and holds for four years, and should
he die before the expiration of his
time his successor only holds to the
end of the term. A United States
Senator begins a term of six years
on March 4, and If he die or resign
his successor only completes the
term. A Representative is elected for
two years, beginning with March A.,
and the rule as to death or resignation
applies here. Mr.. Wilson has two
years yet to serve Of his present
term; on March 4. 1917, either he or
some one else will be his successor.
Mr.. Culberson began his present term
as Senator four years ago; he will
hold till March 4, 1917, and then
either succeed himself or give place
to another. This arrangement is not
without a purpose. A Republic must
be builded against the passion of the
hour or it will fall to pieces.-Wacc

THE FAT OF THE LAND"

It is coming. The lesson Of diver
sification has been learned, and In
many parts of Texas results are be-
ginning to be seen. The lesson In
Brazos County has been learned, but
we have been slower than some other
places and our results will be delayed,
but they are coming. The Eagle has
long contended that the establishment
of a creamery here would open a new
and profitable avenue for our farmers,
bring them cash every day, enable
them to pay as they go, and keep their
business in front of them instead OF
behind them. We quote the follow
ing from the Comanche Vanguard,
showing what creamery is doing
for the farmers of that county, and
the results given should certainly be
an inspiration for our people:
From January l to February Is,
the Comanche creamery alone paid
out S7,65O.39 for butter fat Exact
figures are not given for the Nissley
purchasing agency, but they approx.
mate $500. The two aggregate SILL
$50, which is an average OF nearly
$500 a month. This is only Conan
che. DeLeon and other towns are
buying butter fat from Comanche
farmers. Besides there is good deal
OF butter sold by farmers direct to
customers. Then, look at the chickens
eggs and other poultry being market
ed here and shipped out. Then take
a peep at the hogs, and look at the
hay and other odds and ends that are
being converted into cash every day
and you will see that we are at the
beginning of a tremendous revolution
in the quality, classification and casf
values OF our home production. Kini
Cotton is dethroned forever. He L
no longer a king, but a democrat whC
will have to take his chances along
side of lots of competitors. We have
just reached the foot of the rise. II
a year or two we shall be high enough
TO look down upon the present anC
wonder why we stayed in the low
grounds so long. Even now $4,000
to S150,OOO a year in cash coming int

POTATOES IN PLACE OF BREAD.

tutIng When Wheat 10 High.
Washington, March AT wheat re.
mains at its present high figure or
continues to rise in price and II there
is corresponding increase in the
price OF bread. scientists in the
United States Department OF Agricul'
ture suggest that the ordinary house
hold will find II advantageous TO eat
more potatoes and less bread. With
potatoes at COO a bushel. 10c worth
or ten pounds-will give the consumer
little more actual nourlshment than
two one-pound loayes Of bread at &c
each The protein and fat are present
In appreciably larger amounts In the
bread, but the potatoes will be found
to furnish more carbohydrates and
more heat units.
Carbohydrates (starch) contribute
greatly to the energy value of any
diet. and since potatoes are rich in
these. families that wish to expend
their money to the best advantage
are recommended to consider whether
they cannot make a more extended
use OF them. They are easy TO cook
and when prepared in different ways
can be made to lend variety to the
winter diet when green vegetables are
hard TO obtain. Like other foods rela.
lively rich in carbohydrates. how.
ever, potatoes should be eaten with
foods correspondlngly rich in protein,
such as milk, meat. eggs, etc, and
with foods like butter, cream and
meat fat to supply the fat that the
body needs.
Under normal conditions in Europe
and America the potato ranks next Ia
bread as a carbohydrate food. Il

desirable from financial point OF
view there is no scientific reason why
potatoes should not be substituted to-
a great extent for bread. In addition
the potato, like many fruits and yege-

other reason for It's being eaten In
