The best hay in the North and

grass on Texas farms showed a yield

good hay crops OF the North and Cen

factor in the agricultural development
OF those States. and the absence OF

undoubtedly has retarded the agricul-

Sudan was first brought into the
United States from Sudan. Africa. in

year and the next season the seed

FREE BAPTIST REVIVAL.

On January 7. through the columns
of The Eagle, we announced our re
vival meeting TO begin on April is,
but Il seems for us to hold that date
would cause a conflict in dates with
one Of our sister churches OF the
town. so after taking the matter up
with our evangelist, Rev. c. F.
Stalker, we have decided to hold our
revival meeting beginning Sunday
April 4. Rev. Stalker. known as the
preacher artist. is no stranger TO the
people OF Bryan, having conducted a
series OF meetings at the Free Bap-
tist Church two years ago. Mr..
Stalker is eloquent, humorous and
pathetic In his preaching. A man OF
National reputation as an evangelist
he is the organizer and president OF
the noted Christian Zouaves" move
ment, which is doing so much in, the
open air gospel and temperance work
throughout the country.
Mr.. Stalker will be assisted in the
meeting here by one Of the leading
evangelistic singers Of the State
whose name will appear later
Make your preparations now to at
tend these services and hear this man

lad. 81 bushels OF corn.
Careful account OF all expenditures
was kept by the boys and Ross show
ed that his corn cost him slightly
more than nine cents a bushel. In
all OF these accounts cost OF fertilizer,
wear and tear on implements, use Of
the teams, the boys labor and every
other expense was properly charged.
Mr.. williamson's report shows a
wonderful gain in enrolment In the
clubs as well as a wonderful growth
in the yields. There are $3.50 men,
bers. 1910 OF that number being en-
rolled in farm crop clubs. 744 in baby
beef clubs. and 1,OO6 in hog clubs.
This is a gain OF 1881 over last years

boys 1863 meetings we're held with
total attendance OF approximately 90
900. There we're 45 club exhibits and
1896 entries in these exhibits. Prizes
aggregating s4.2s2 in value we're dis
tribe ed among the club members.
The average yield OF corn was 1919
bushels per acre. and the average
cost OF production was S5c per bushel.
According to the census for the past
ten years the average yield OF corn
was 10 bushels to the acre and the
census for 1913 showed the average
yield to be "a bushels. the boys hav-
ing big lead over their fathers. The
average yield Of cotton was 1926

Equally good records we're made
with hogs and baby beef, and Mr.
Williamson expects the coming year
to be the best in the history OF these
organizations.

Of an underground water supply for

well. Wick and Levy present, was held
at Levy Bros. store from 10 to IL

editor also had the pleasure Of being
present. II was indeed a pleasure.
as Il always is to be in the presence
of one who knows, and hear explained
in its every detail the question at
interest. Prot. Deussen had with him
maps and charts showing the water
sources OF Texas, the water bearing
sands, and various other information
and data relative to the subject By
his maps 1t was easy to trace the
sand stratum from which Bryan's
water source must come and by cal
culation OF surface elevation and
strata dip, Prof Deussen says the sup
ply would be reached here at depth
of from 1,4OO to 1000 feet. The mem
bers OF the council were greatly en-
couraged over the water situation af-
ter hearing Prof. Deussen and will set
about at once to perfect plans for
going after it in that way that means
success.

THE FEDERATED
CHRISTIAN CHARITIES

Several days ago an old man travel
ing through the country from Indiana
TO Southern Texas stopped in Bryan
with only FIVE cents in his pocket. He
had nothing TO feed his tired horses
nor himself and Of course 1t was i'm
possible for him TO continue his jour
ney. He went TO one OF the well
known feed stores Of the town and
seeing the proprietor told him his
need and asked him for help. The
gentleman in question is one who is
very much interested in the Federat-
ed Christian Charities. He immediate
" told the needy traveller Of the or
ganization, explaining that in this
way all such cases as his were now at
tended to in Bryan. He was soon in
troduced to n member OF the execu-
tive committee, who decided that the
case in question was one worthy OF
help. The old man was given food
for himself and horses and little
money and sent on his way in most
grateful frame Of mind Several days
later letter came from Houston con-
tanning a check sufficiently large to
cover the amount expended by the
Federated Charities and accompanied
by the eager thanks of the old gentle
man, who had found the Good Samari-
tan in the guise OF the Federated
Charities committee. In addition to

BUILDING is NEEDED

A recent editorial in the Arizona
Gazette commented very favorabiy
upon the organization of the Arizona
Chapter of the American Mining
Congress and the benefits that may
be derived from the same, The
Arizona Chapter of the American
Mining Congress was formed some
what in protest of the conditions
which have existed in the State for
some time past. These conditions
are chiefly in the form of adverse
legislation, legislation which would
require bonanza propositions to with
stand the attacks. 1t has been in
the nature of a challenge and capital
has not dared to enter.
Arizona is the greatest metal pro-
ducing State in the Union ana is
stih an undeveloped State. The
prosperity of the mines means the
prosperity of the farmer, merchant,
cattleman. and in fact of every one
in the State. Money taken from
the ground does not impoverish any
one. it is the money from the east
for mine payrols that furnishes the
money for circulation in Arizona
The mines need assistance, not
only in the matter Of Legislation,
but in the State research work. The
large companies keep their own corps
of engineers, but there AZ, over
1,S00 mines in the StateWhOSe owners
are unable to do their own wOIk for
proper development. This is the
province of the Arizona College IF
Mines, and to further this work, me
Board of Regents of the University
are this year asking the legislature
for a new mining building. The
University needs it, the mines need
it and the people need it.
There is another reason for asking
for a more adequate mining building
at the University this year. We
have been practically assured that if
we can properly house a federal
mine experiment station. we will
get one within the year. This would
mean a great deal to the mining in
dustry of Arizona.

HALF CENTURY OF AMERl-

United States has more than quad
rupled; there are now more than
100, ,OO0.0 900 people in this country.
During the past fifty years the
foreign commerce of the United
States has grown from $3l8, 600, 900
to "a ,259, ,000,0 and the per capita
value of exports from $l6.96 to
$23.27
The national wealth has increased
from $1,000, 900, 900 to 1000, ,OOO,-
600.
The amount of money in circuIa,
tion has increased from $279, 900, 900
to SO, ,4l9, 100000.
The value of farm property has
increased from 81 900, 900, Doom 1850
to Sal 900, 900, 900 in 1910.
In 1850 there were 9,02l miles of

WHAT PROHIBITION MEANS

The beneticent effects of the pro-
hibition law are being felt in every
town and city of this State.
We read in the Tucson papers
that since the law went into effect,
there has not been single arrest
for drunkenness and that the police
court which handled many drunk
and disorderly cases each day, has
not had case since Juanary lst.
This means much for better cOndi,
tions for all the people.
The papers also state that the
bakeries are rushed with demands
for bread; that the meat markets
find trade increasing; that men are
eating better meals, and accounts in
banks show decided increase
No better proof needed to show
that money which heretofore has
been spent for liquor is now being
diverted in other channels of trade.
The same conditions are reported
10 prevail in Phoenix since the pro-
hibitiOn law went into effect. The
city chain gang has ceased to exist,
because there are no more recruits
on account of drunkenness and dis
orderly conduct. The officers in
charge of the Phoenix chain gang
have lost their jobs; there was moth
ing for them to do.
All this speaks well for the prohi-
bition law, and as time goes on.
men will realize more fully the great
benefits that come to a community
where sobriety reigns.
