vance and we have also received last
years prices on arsenate of lead. We
have also contracted for a large por-
tion Of apple boxes for next season.
As to our paper for next season, every
effort was made to buy the stock early
in the season, but this has been impos.
sible, as the mills have absolutely re-
fused to make any prices"

MISUNDERSTANDING

individual orchardists, the sales organ

against the Bureau. In fact, officers
of the Association declare that growers
themselves were to blame last fall for
much of the labor trouble that was ex-
perienced here.
''The criticisms have arisen out of q
misunderstanding" says Wilmer Sieg.

Only Fifteen Students Dropped for

The December slaughter OF stu.
dents is over at A. and NJ. College,
and cordlng 20 figures submitted to
President Bizzell by Dean Charles
Puryear. twelve A. and NJ. students
have teen required to withdraw from
College and twenty-one have been re-
quiTed to drop their regular work.
The twonty-one students who were
'oroed to drop back from their regu-
lar class work will be permitted to re.
main in school. but must take new
studies. which will be In a sense pre-
paratoTy to their resuming their regu-
lar class work next year,
Stringent rules govern the drop
ping OF students from the rolls. Each
cadet must pass half of his work or
else he VIII he dropped from the col.
lege rolls. In many other Texas In
stitutions students are required to
pass only two-fifths OF their work.
The record made by the entire stu.
dent body, more than l,2OO. is consid
cred especially good this season in
view OF changes in methods OF grad
ing. The college faculty has adopted
the policy of not holding examlna
tions. Grades are determined by
daily grades and monthly Quizzes. Al
the close OF the December session all
students who have failed to pass one
half Of their work are dropped. The
basis OF grading has made the wori
much harder on students up to thi:
time.
The second term begins Februar!
Sth. No term examinations will b,
held. Classes will continue up unit
February 9Th and then two days will
be allowed for registration.

REMOVES TO THoRNpAlE.
Mr.. T. N. Herring Leaves the Eagle
to GstablIsh New Paper.

II is with genuine regret the Eagle
publishes the iact that Mr.. T. n. Her.
ring hns rendered his resignation as
local editor and advertising manager
Of the Eagle to assume the manage.
me'f Of n new publication being es.
tabllshod at Thorndale by State
Comptroller II. Il. Terrell.
Mr.. Herring came to Bryan somo
nine months ago from his home at
Waxahachie and the Eagle does not
aesltate to state that no man ever
came TO Bryan who made friends
more rapidly and came more quickly
into the confidence and good will OF
the entire citizenship. In tho few
months OF his residence here he came
to know everybody and everybody
was his friend, This fact is within
itself proof positive OF his sterling
worth, his integrity and high moral
character.
His going win be a distinct loss tc
the Eagle and one which will not be
easily overcome. Not only that. but
his going is deeply regretted by the
editor the business management. the
entire office force and board OF di
rectors
The removal Of himself and good
wife from Bryan will be a distinct
loss to the city's social and religious
interests, and the little city OF Thorn
dale may count itself fortunate In
securing them as citizens.
The very best wishes OF all the peo
pie OF Bryan go with them to theiI
new field Of endeavor. They leav
for their new home tomorrow.

BILLS
CAN Be COLLECTED
Senator r. M. Johnston Does Not
Think an Attorney Necessary
for Their Collection.

Austin, Texas, Jan. 13.-''It Is not
necessary that persons holding claims
against the penitentiary commission
shall employ anyone to undertake the
collection thereof" said Senator r.
VI. Johnston Friday evening.
These claims will be paid in due
order and time with interest the SEN
ator went on to say. and no one can
hasten their collection. These OBJ
servations were made after Senator
Johnston had discussed the matter
with Governor Ferguson. According
TO check made by the penitentiary
auditor the penitentlary owes about
one million dollars for supplies and
equipment purchased more than two
years ago. II Is the governors idea
that 100000 OF this amount should be
paid with interest this year and the
balance next year. =
That Is what the legislature will
order, very likely, making the neces.
sary appropriation for such purpose
1t has been reported that efforts have
been made by different parties to OBJ
tain these accounts for collection on
commission basis and that some
money lenders have teen offering IA
discount them. There Is no reason
why any claimant with valid &C
count should either employ anyone tc
collect II or discount II. however.
