The angel OF death lowered close

months and one day before. Robert

About three hours after the operation
the little fellow, whose constitution
could not stand the shock. was re-
lieved from his intense suffering by
the death angel. who was so gracious
and good as to carry him home. The
funeral services were held yesterday
morning at Steep Hollow Cemetery.

lay down the proposition that this Is

stated when the danger OF a clash

could have been done then in good
grace. The simple announcement that
It had served It's purpose would have
been sufficient. To withdraw the
troops now, which we will be com

Josie Wilson that county awards the
laurels in the home economics field
for her achievements in tomato grow
ing and canning club work. From
one.tenth OF an acre of land which she
cultivated herself Miss Wilson gath
cred over 800 pounds of tomatoes,
The entire product was consumed on
the family table, sold or preserved.
In her canning club work this young
woman put up 1863 jars Of fruits and
vegetables OF a value II bought at re
tail from the stores OF nearly $3.50.
The Post does not often have occasion
to mention a Texas girl In these edi.
torial columns; but the work of Miss
Wilson is OF so much value to herself,
her home, her county and to Texas,
that II is a pleasure to call especial
attention to her success In the hope
that other girls in this State will take
up work similar to that ~recounted
above. The boys and girls who are
engagin in it are some day going TO
make Texas independent-and rich.-
Houston Post.
The above record is fine and Miss
Wilson is entitled to great praise for
her work. Brazos county, however
has a girl who has the above record
beat a mile. The Eagle will publish
1t just as soon as all the data can be
secured.

THE CITY WATER SUPPLY.

The water situation In Bryan Is far
from satisfactory. Not as to guam
tity. but as to quality. The three
shallow wells comprising the original
water supply, are as fine for drinking,
cooking, washing or other purposes as
could be found in all Texas, but the
deep well, sunk to give the city an
i%nexhaustible supply, is fierce beyond
our power Of description. The taste
Of the water from this well is worse
than NORWOOD and gall, figuratively
speaking, al we never had the pleas.
ure Of sampling this choice connection
which seems to have been popular In
olden times. Using more familiar In
gradients to arrive at an idea OF its
taste, It occurs to US that the follow.
ing would about describe It: A mix.
ture Of EPSON salts, Arm and Ham,
mer baking soda, X. c. baking pow
der. alum. nitroglycerin and rough on
rats. well shaken before taking.
In all earnestness we believe this
deep well water is seriously detri
mental to the public health, and espe.
cially to children. We have our rea,
sons for SO believing and they are not
altogether hearsay testimony either
~ they say In court. 1t has made us
sicker than q horse. and you know a
right sick horse is real ailing. We
have also heard many others, people
whose testimony would be good be
fore a jury without corroboration, say
the same thing. Rice boiled n Il
looks like a mess OF Paris 4 cen
served with tartar sauce.
In philosophy we have wha. Is cal
ed reasoning by analogy-from things
a we Judge things remote, Of
things visible. OF things invisible. So
when we see what the deep well does
TO a bowl OF rice, 1t is not difficult Ia
imagine what 1t does to a fellows
'innards."
Ordinarily the three shallow wells
will furnish sufficient water for ali
purposes and It is o necessary to
pump the deep wen, but with the gins
running and the vast mount being
used by the building and paving op
erations II makes II necessary "a
pump them all.
There is really a proposition and q

council. We cannot 20 on this way

Applications for Men-Buildlng

Unprecedented building activity
throughout the Southwest, and Texas
generally, is indicated by the excep.
tionally heavy demand for engineers,
civil, electrical and mechanical-be-
ing made Of the Agricultural and Me-
chanical college of Texas. In the past
two days Dean d. W. Spence of the
school Of engineering has received re-
quests for Is civil engineers.
Five men are needed by the Santa
Fe railway system at Galveston for
valuation work. One request comes
from Durant, Ok, for road engineers.
Six men are wanted for levee work in
North Texas and the Oregon Short
Line. headquarters Pocatello, Idaho,
has asked for six civil engineers.
I'VE have been literally swamped
with requests for men for the past
two months" said Dean Spence today.
Every mai who has finished at the
college is engaged and | have at least
fifty applications with opportunity
for advancement that | cannot fill"
All OF the IS engineers who gradu-
ated last June at the college have
good positions.
Unusual expansion In construction
in engineering lines is indicated by
the large demand for men. All OF
those who are asking for graduates
nom the Agricultural and Mechanical
college have worked men from that

The forty.first session OF the Agri.

Texas will be inauguratcd with prop
or opening exercises beginning at 10
o'clock on the morning OF September
20. In his announcement of this date
President W. II. Bizzell OF that Insti.

prospects for attendance this year are
exceedingly bright and he expects the
total registrations to far surpass those
Of any past session OF this school.
This In as II should be. Texas il an
agricultural State. There will come
no time In the life Of this generation
when the soil and It's products will not
be the most important assets We have.
And the young nan who desires TO
make the most OF these natural ad.
yantages will find the Agricultural
and Mechanical College his greatest
source OF help and knowledge. The
State Is now providing that institut.
tion with buildings and other improve.
ments which will render Il capable OF

Of parsimony with respect 10 this

And there Is no need In Texas for
another Of the same kind either. One
institution thoroughly equipped and
properly supported will be OF greater
good TO the State than two that are
half starved and living from hand 10
