PLANTING SUGGESTIONS.

The following plans are simply sug-
gestiye OF general arrangements and
type OF growth:
Around the boundaries OF the
growth should be planted large shade
trees. maple. oak. elm, etc. These
should be at least forty feet apart TO
permit full development of the top at
maturity Should a shield be deslra.
BILE. either from prevailing winds. as
is sometimes necessary In the noun
tains. or from unsightly views. ever
greens, such as cedar or spruce. are
effective.
In planting the grounds II is lmpor.
tant that there be cleared spaces
which produce vistas. either toward
the front OF the building from the
road. an opening through the shrubs,
OF to any particularly beautiful view
In the distance. Isolated trees should
as a rule. be near buildings for pur-
poses OF future shade; groups OF
shrubbery should snuggle close TO
walls. boundaries or corners and flow
or beds should conform and be. as Il
were. trimming for walks. founda'
tons or boundaries. II is very com
mon mistake to scatter trees. bushes
and flower beds all over the lawn.
The planting should be so chosen
that there is bloom as continuously as
possible. This may be done by oh
serving the bloom season OF the plants
in the woods.-The Progressive
Farmer.

HOW TO GIVE CHILDREN
GOOD DISPOSITIONS.

In the February Womans Home
Companion we learn that to give a
baby a good disposition the first step
is to keep him free from nerves"
"one mother accounted for her ba.
by's peaceful frame OF mind" we read.
by saying that until he was 3 months
old he was ignoredl That seems alb.
surd. yet there is an element OF truth
in IL. A baby Is an excitable little be-
ing. II wants to play and be played
with. and II means real sci denial on
the part OF a household to restrain
from kissing and cuddling and romp-
ing with the baby.
But the more baby Is left to IL.
self. provided II is comfortable and
well. the better for its nerves. II
must sleep many long hours in fresh
air. and. OF course. II Il Is excited and

SAVING IS THE SEED OF Sue
CESS"

We certainly don't wish to see our
Southern farmers become misers, but
he Is a weak man. a man lacking In
character and In force, who cannot
school himself in thrift and economy
"a man who must spend every cent
as soon as he makes II and who has
not enough strength OF character to
sacrifice the pleasure OF today for the
greater gain tomorrow; the man who
cannot resist the importantly OF slick
tongued agents, or deny himself the
temporary pleasure OF buying some
thing not really necessary when II
must be paid for by outrageous "time
prices" the man who lacks self-control
and cannot refrain from wasteful ex-
penditures OF whisky. cigars. or other
unproductive purposes. Such a man

USE PecANs FOR SHADE TREES.

Every farmer OF the coastal region
who has not planted pecan trees Is
not living up to his best opportunities.
There is no shade or lawn tree to be
found anywhere that is handsomer
than the pecan tree. and none that
better sets off farm buildings and
makes place homelike, attractive
and salabie. But besides being a
thing OF beauty. a pecan tree is a good
revenue producer which will add ma
terially TO farm proceeds. The pecan
will grow on any land Of the South
that will produce good corn or cotton.
The trees should be set not less than
fifty feet apart. The wide middles eb-
tween the rows can be used to ad.
vantage for the raising OF variety
OF cultivated crops. The fertilizer
and cultivation given these intercrops
will keep the pecans In thrifty and
growing condition. After four or five
years the trees will be showing a few
nuts. and by the time they are ten
or twelve years old they will be able
to use all the land and give paying
crops for its use.-The Progressive
Farmer.

OUR POULTRY AND DOMESTIC
SCIENCE SHOW.

The poultry show under the aus
pices OF the Brazos County Poultry
Association. and the domestic science
show under the auspices OF the Bry.
an woman's Club. were perfect sue
cesses, Notwithstanding the terrible
weather conditions prevailing. II the
weather had been good the building
would not anything like have accom-
modated all the exhibits. and as II
was nearly every inch Of space was
taken.
Many fine fowls we're shipped here
from different parts OF the state and
the Bryan and Brazos County people
utterly surprised everybody with the
number and excellence Of their chick
ems. The exhibits would compare ia
vorably with any held in Texas. and
demonstrated the fact that as fine
poultry can be produced In Brazos
County as anywhere In the State
II did something else: II opened the
eyes OF the people TO the possibilities
OF the poultry business and the splen-
did avnue II provides for the people
for another money crop and big
crop at that. Intelligent effort Is all
that II needed TO make the poultry
business pay. The reason II has not
paid better in the past Ia because our
people have given all their thought
and devoted all their energies to the
production OF cotton. With the same
thought and work given to poultry
that Is given to cotton. the Eagle does
not hesitate to say the returns in dol
lars and cents. hour for hour. will be
largely In favor Of poultry.
The woman's department. or domes
tic science show, was also a revela
tion. The exhibits In the several de
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. bread. cakes
canned fruits and vegetables. flow
ers. etc. like those Of the poultry de
partment, were revelations to all
They showed the women and girls o.
Bryan and BRACES County are as ex
pert with the needle. are as goot
cooks. as expert florists. and as skill
ed In the art OF canning and prreserv
ing as are TO be found anywhere. rs
pecially was the canning department
a revelation and told more eloquent!
than any words could express Il. thu
possibilities OF the home Gamer II
reducing the household expenses o
the people OF the country.
The whole show was an inspiration
and II is TO be regretted that weather
conditions were such that the people
could not have attended in large nun
bers.
The Eagle hopes those progressiv,
spirits who had charge OF both de
partments will decide to make Il al
annual event. or perhaps what woul'
be better still, combine them with tn
agricultural fair inaugurated last fal
and build up here In Brazos County
fair that all will be proud of and tina
will bring the people here. not onl
from our own county. but from al
sections of this part OF the state.

PRIMARY LAW IS
CONSTITUTIONAL
Attorney Generals office at Austin
Construed Various Phases Of
statute.

Austin Tex. Jan. 2s.-Two lengthy
opinions. constituting the presidential
preferential election laws. and ad-
dressed to Paul NAPLES OF Fort Worth.
chairman OF the State Democratic Elk
eeutive Committee. which was to meet
at Dallas today. were made public
yesterday by the attorney generals
department. The opinions were pre-
pared by Assistant Attorney General
William Pinckney Dumas.
The presidential preferential pri-
mary law is held to be constitutional.
II was passed by the legislature In
1913. After the holding of such a pri.
mary II Is unnecessary to hold q state
convention for the purpose OF declar-
ing the result OF such primary.
II would not be proper for the names
OF the members Of the state executive
committee TO be voted on nj the so,
called presidential preferential pri-
mary In May.
The names OF the delegates from
the state at large are the only names
TO be submitted as delegates by the
state executive committee to the
county chairmen. Returns Of such
primary election should be made In
the same manner rs returns Of regu-
lar primary election In July.
The state convention. meeting I'm
August. after the'regular biennial pri-
mary election. has the duty OF elect
ing national committeeman. although
the national executive committee has
authority and power to pass upon le-
gality OF the selection. The state e.
ecutive committee would not have au-
thority to make the selection.
The state executive committee Is re-
Quird 10 submit TO the various coun-
~ chairmen the names OF candidates
for delegates at large. and cannot Sc
lect the names to be certified TO the
county chairmen.
II is not improper for the state chair
man to call ON the county chalrmen
to certify the district delegates elect
ed. instead OF strict adherence to
Article A. requiring the usual labor
ious methods OF canvassing the cleo
ton Of national delegates on May ~
when the national convention meets
June II. The opinion says;
1t is physical impossibility TO
| get the names Of all delegates before
the national convention within the
time for It's meeting next June. and
II would likely cause a deplorable
condition OF affairs In that body at a
time when harmony would be most
desired"
