May rs.
Lucid has had much experience
with baseball clubs. As a member OF
the pitching stan Of the Philadelphia
Nationals, he coached the pitching
staff of the University Of Pennsyl.
yania before his season opened. The
three pennant winning teams OF the
Houston Buffaloes have been under
the instruction of this baseball wizard
also, and in assuming the coaching
of the Texas Farmers he is entering

ed him thoroughly with the fine
points Of the game.
Under the tutorship Of such o
master, the Aggies this year should
stand out as leaders in Texas base
ball The pitching stan at the col.
lege is the best in the State. Olsen,
regarded as the best collegian twirler
in Texas, is back again; the two
Skeelers and Gnfllan are other old
pitchers, and in addition there is con.
siderable new material Captain
Cherry has much new material on
hand, and there are from four to ten
applicants for every position.
The boys will report for tryouts

nations are completed, which will be

Southwest are to be met and the
Farmers are entertaining high hopes
of being the champions this season.
Certainly with the wealth of good
material on hand and the coaching Of
Con Lucid, they should excel.

Great thoughts seldom come in very
big packages.
Most men are the architects Of
their own misfortunes.
A man may boast Of his ancestors
because he has nothing to look for

OF hero.

GIVE WORK, NOT AIMS.

Help men to help themselves, Is the
truest, broadcast charity known. I'm
usual conditions confront the whole
world today and as a result nothing
like It was ever known before and the
need OF employment was never so
great. Men are willing TO give money
but not work. Great charity funds
can be raised, but employment Is
withheld from the thousands Of empty
and unemployed hands. The Calves
ton News, in discussing this subject,
says:
work will be far more acceptable
than aims to large majority Of the
men who are needing help. They are
accustomed TO work, not TO charity.
Doubtless some will have to be made
content with charity. Money can be
more quickly provided than Jobs. But
we believe there are more latent jobs
lying around than any Of us suspects,
by which is meant that there is much
work needing to be done, much work
that has been planned for a future
time that can be done now, to the
benefit OF those who have the work
to give and to those who need the
work to do, to say nothing OF the
community at large. II is largely q
matter Of having done now things
which, with more or less defniteness,
had been set down on an unturned

BRIGHT FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.

When there are taken into consid-
Grafton the autumn gold shipments
and the reduction already effected in
our customary expenditures abroad
for the bills of travellers and in other
ways, it is a very reasonable estimate
that since the start of the war we
have been creating foreign credits at
the rate of s15O,OOO,OOO a month, and
the ratio is increasing. Judging from
present financial and commercial cur
rents, the accumulation of billion
dollar credit balance within a year
from the start of the war looks like
an unwarrantably conservative con-
lecture.
As a result of the matters noted
our bankers today have such control
of the foreign exchanges that they
