POULTRY ASSOCIATION
HOLDS MEETING.
Good Attendance and Plans Made for
Show Next Year.

The Brazos County Poultry Associa'
ton held rousing meeting last night
at the Commercial Club rooms, and In
spite OF the extremely cold weather
there was a good attendance OF the
members.
Everyone expressed themselves as
being well pleased with the late poul'
try show and the following dates we're
set for the show in 1917: December 5,
6, and s. Judging from inquiries al
ready received there will be some
thing like 1900 birds on exhibition at
the 1917 show.
The Rhode Island Red Club OF the
State OF Texas has already selected
Bryan for its next state show and the
Red breeders alone will exhibit six
hundred OF the finest specimens OF the
Rhode Island Red variety. One Red
breeder stated the show would have
birds from every state in the South.
There is some possibility that the
association will also have the State
White Leghorn and Plymouth Rock
clubs at this show. and this will near
that Bryan will pull off the biggest
poultry show ever held in Texas.
The membership committees wer'

instructed to get busy and the asso-
citation has every right to believe, II
It can get the support OF the farmers
OF Brazos county. that the association
will lead everything Of the kind In the
state.
The association has arranged for
special list OF premiums in order to
interest the farmers. among which Is
a modern incubator which some farm
er will get absolutely free. The en-
tire list will be published later.
Further arrangements we're made to
have Prof. f.. w. Kazemeir and Prof.
T. J. Conway OF A. and NJ. College to
lecture at the regular monthly meet
ings. These lectures will deal with the
present day needs and problems of
the poultrymen. together with talks
on what farm poultry will mean to
Brazos county. The ladies' especially
are cordially extended an invitation
to attend these lectures.
Great enthusiasm was expressed
over the increased membership and
each member has set five hundred
members as the goal for 1917. And
right here It may be well TO add that
anyone raising poultry or intending
to raise poultry, would certainly find
It to their interest to become mem
bers OF the association.
After ordering a number OF bills
paid, the meeting adjourned.

GOLDEN PERIOD COMES BACK.
Prosperity Of New England Fleet RI
walls the Best Days Of the Old
Square Riguers.

The war In Europe, which wrought
such dreadful havoc In SO many other
directions, awakened these drOwsy
ports and called these waiting fleets
to hoist anchor, Ralph ID. Paine writes
In Scribner's. A few months and al
most all the great five and six mast
ers had vanished from the coast.
Then the smaller schOOners were
snapped up for this golden OffshOre
trade and those that remained at home
found wonderful harvest because OF
the scarcity Of domestic tonnage.
It was like fairy tale Of commerce,
and somehow more wholesomely graft
flying than the fevered activity Of mu-
milton stocks In Wall street with their
imitation and jobbery. These fine ships
deserved to live, and those who owned
them had been steadfast in fair wealth
er and foul. For example, there was the
six master Il. b. Winslow, which had
been carrying coal from Norfolk to
Portland and she Is one Of scores
whose good fortune has been as daz-
zling. She was chartered for Rio with
5000 tons Of coal beneath her matches
and came home laden with manganese
ore after voyage Of seven months.
Her owners received $1S0000 in freight
money, or considerably more than the
cost Of building her, and $4,000 Of this
was net profit to be distributed as div
idends.
II soon became commonplace infor'
nation to hear that a schooner had
paid for herself In one voyage Offshore
Those who preferred to sell instead Of
charter also enjoyed sort OF Arabian
Nights come true. There was the re
tired skipper of Portland who reckless
" bought an old vessel two years ago
for $4,000, a tremendous speculation
which absorbed all he had thriftil!
tucked away In a lifetime at sea, ant
strained his credit besides. In TIVE
voyages this sturdy coaster put S35,OO
In his pocket, after which he sold he
for 100000 and dared to indulge II
the long-deslred luxury OF navigatin
his own cabin catboat.

Odd Tobacco Pipe Borer.

Travellers among the Sioux Indians
are much impressed with the perfect
smoothness of the bore in their pipe
stems. Without the use of tool OF
any kind they make a perfect bore In
the twigs Of ash trees, which they use
for musical instruments and for pipes.
To accomplish this end they employ
the larvae of butterfly which inhabits
the ash tree. The Indians remove the
pith for about three inches from the
stick they wish bored. Into this cavity
they place one of the larvae OF a
brown butterfly, which gradually eats
its way down through the pith until
the bore is completed. A little heat
applied to the wood expedites the work
of the larvae. The Indians consider
both the tube made in this way and
the larvae as sacred as their idols
