N. INSTITUTION.
Belief Is Expressed That Agricultur-
III school In Agricultural Comnsun-
ity Would Hiring Lasting Good.

With Joe Erwin as chairman at
the noon-day luncheon Tuesday the
Chamber OF Commerce started
something In the way OF lasting
good for Waxahaehie. 1t was an
nounesd by Judge j. Lea Cannon
that Arlington was about to fall
down on her privilege of procuring
a Junior A. 4 NJ. College. and he
proposed that Waxahachie take up
same and put it through. He pic
rured the benefits to be derived
from an agricultural college in an
agricultural district and said the
town would NOT only bring lasting
benefit to Waxahaehie and Ellis
county by going in and landing the
proposed school. but would estab-
lish an institution that would bene-
fit The whole safe.
After his talk various members
discussed the proposed undertaking
and finally decided to appoint a
committee to look thoroughly into
the matter and determine what. II
anything. could be done to procure
the school. The chairman named
u. u. Floyd. j. Lea Cannon and
DR.. W. {. Simpson on the committee

tant matter

Fass for the new year budget was
discussed at length and volunteers

although several volunteered to do
some work during the afternoon.
The matter Of taking the boys out
OF school and putting them in the
fields to aid the farmers in planting
and cu1tiyating their crops was in
trodueeC in the way of communica-
ton read by j.. ID. Parnell. but it
was the opinion Of the majority OF
the members that the farmers were
not now in need Of help and that it
would be impractical TO take the
boys out OF school at this time on

Welding liquids are not considered
so good as the preparations in the
powder form, with the possible excep-
ton of the solution of zinc in hydro
chloric acid which is used by timers.
A very good compound may be made
as follows:
To 20 parts Of iron filings add 10
parts borax, Is parts sal ammoniac
and one part of a resinous oil (bal-
sam of copaiba may be used).
The surfaces to be united are to be
powdered with this mixture, then
placed in the fire and heated to cher

remove the pieces from the fire and
