ing the stage at once and dragging it
on its side to the foot of the hill only
stopping when plunging into snow
bank so deep as to hold them up.
Fortunately there were no passengers
in the stage but the baggage was dis
tributed along the road in wild con-
fusion.

HAMILTON HEAD OF
FISH AND GAME CLUB
Confined. from page onc)

1t was moved and approved that
the same membership committee that
served last year should serve the en-
suing year. This committee includes
Emery Pinney, John Kipp and John
Morrison.
1t was voted that the same COM
mittee that last year assisted the
secretary in planting fish should serve
next year. They arc:
Hugh w. Fairbrother, John Kipp,
John Morrison and E. c. Cass.
At the close of the business session
a very delicious lunch consisting of
doughnuts, cheese and coffee, was
served. The meal was prepared and
served by Mrs. Annie Magoon and
her daughter, Mrs. e. II. Reece.
Mr.. Leavins in opening his talk
said he was pleased to see such a
fine spirit of cooperation in pubic af-
fairs in Newport. This cooperation
he said is important in the work Of
the Northern Vermont Fish and
Game Club.
ave must propagate new fish," de-
clarcd MI. Leavens, "and distribute
our own wild eggs and increase our
supply of eggs from our own field.
The state should double its supply if
possible. But it is useless to do this
with public sentiment against us. We
should redouhle our efforts for natur-
al propagation"
Mr.. Leavens said that the mem
bers should cultivate friendly rela-
lions with the land owners and see
that the sportsmen do not destroy
property. As an aid to furthering
these friendly relations, Mr. Lcavens
said, the membership of the club
should be extended to axe in the
farmers and land owners
an hunting, the man who takes
even the limit or talks numbers is
not a real tlue sportsman" Mr..
Leavens said. 1t is the man who
loves the outdoors and takes just
what he needs who is the real true
sportsman.
"This sentiment should be applied
to the future generation. If we can
not teach the coming generation and
leave them this splendid heritage it
will be too bad. We've got to do our
work among the boys-the boy scouts
the school boy and others"
Mr.. Leavens said that such clubs
as the Northern Fish and Game club
should be organized throughout the
state.
The commissioner stated that he
hoped to complete the screening of
the lakes in Orleans and Essex Coun-
ty by next summer. He said he was
planning to try the experiment OF
holding the lake trout until fall be-
fore stocking the lakes
Mr.. Leavens said that a wild fowl
sanctuary was soon to be established
on Lake Champlain which would be
breeding place for ducks, shore
birds and other migratory birds.
Mr.. Dinsmore gave an interesting
account of some of his experiences on
a recent trip to Yellowstone Park.

WATSON OF BRYAN WINS EDMOND
SCHOLARSHIP

James P. Watson of Bryan is to be the first
recipient of the James A. Edmond loan scholar
ship of the University of Texas, according to
announcement of the committee on award. This
scholarship was established by Miss Belle Ed
mond of Waco in memory of her nephew, better
known as Pete" Edmond, B. A. l6 and NJ. A.

University, who was killed in foreign service.
1t is provided that the scholarship shall be

their ability by actual experience in the Univer-
sity of Texas preference being given to stud
ents of the social sciences
Mr.. Watson, who has Just received the award
of this scholarship, is a sophomore in the
University. He entered last September as a
student on individual approval, his three years
of military service having interfered with
preparatory work. In spite of the handicap,
he made an excellent record in the University,
and was one of the few students whose name
appeared regularly on the honor roll

TARRANT DISTRICT JUDGE
DISCUSSES DIVORCES

Judge Ben M. Terrell of the Sixty-seventn
district court of Tarrant County, after year
experiment in refusing TO grant divorces rlght
off the bat at the first hearing, believes ne
has partially solved the problem that Is threat
ening the very vitals of civilization IL is the
opinion of Judge Terrell that the law regard
ing remarriage of either party should be mace
more drastic, and the law prohibiting either
party from remarrying in six months should
be made effective and in cases where children
are involved, DEGREES should only be granted for
adultery.
In the year that Judge Terrell has been ex-
perimenting, approximately fltty per cent OF
the divorce proceedings brought in his court
have been marked settled" He has made 1t
a practice to hold up his decision for long
period, pending a private investigation, and
during the time the investigation is in progress
efforts are made to get the disgruntled parties
to come together
In approximately rs per cent of the cases
before that court a reconciliation has been eff
fected. However, in a majority of the cases
where reconciliation has been effected, children
have been involved. In no case is divorce
granted where children are involved until the
court is satisfied that the child, or children will
be well cared for By either one of the parents.
The plan of procedure followed by Judge
Terrell is that when the case is called he re-
ouires both parties to be present when possible,
and if it is impossible for both parties to be
present, he hears one side of the case, with some
officer of the court present. The testimony
taken is turned over to some humane officer,
or some member of the probation court with
instructions to make thorough investigation
of the circumstances surrounding the litigant
parties.
That investigation is of a private nature. In
the meantime the court does what it can to get
the couple together and usually after a few
minutes lecturing and getting them to talk,
they leave the court room arm in arm, and the
case is marked dismissed"
In discussing his experiment Judge Terrell
declared that the divorce laws should be re-
vised and that DEGREES should be granted
only for three causes. One of these causes
should be unfaithfulness, the other that of
abandonment, after it has clearly been estab-
lished that the abandonment is for a period
of years and not few months, and the third
where either party has been convicted of felony.
AS to the injunction law now on the books,
the judge declares that this law should be
amended and penalty attached to it that would
stop either party from marrying within six
months; as it is now, the law has no penalty
and the only relief is for the court to hold one
who breaks it in contempt.
He attributes a large per cent of the divorce
cases to too hasty marriages, and the ease with
which couples can obtain a separation.

SAY RUSSIANS HAVE
DROPPED TO STONE

Russian peasants have reverted to the ST
life of the stone age and learned TO disp'
with benefits of modern civilization, dee
German manufacturers who arrived in Swift
land after startling experiences while tral
with Russia.
The peasants, they say, spin their own

and make their own clothes and shoes at hs
Knives and axes are fashioned of flint a
prehistoric times. The villagers houses
lighted by pine torches.
German manufacturers had accumulated u
stocks of manufactured goods expecting
make fortunes selling them TO Russia, but
soviet government is not willing to spend md
on anything except railroad material and
chinery and the country people are perfe
satisfied with the primitive life they are
ing. So called Russian peasant industries, WI
are always a characteristic feature of Rus
life. have been vastly stimulated by the q
omic crisis of the last two years. Cons
ments of German goods have come back
sold. The German manufacturers in quest
say they are facing ruin.

RARE MANUSCRIPTS ADDED TO THE
TEXAS UNIVERSITY

The collection or rare books and manuscripts
in the Wrenn Library Of the University of
Texas has recently been greatly supplemented
by an almost priceless gift from r. J. Wise of
London, who was associated with the late j. w.
Wrenn in establishing the library.
The main feature of the gift from Mr.. Wise
is some % items of Swinburne, which Mr.. Wise
had printed from the manuscript in his posses
sion. These privately printed ventures were
made during the last three years, and several
of them have introductions by Edmund Gosse.
They contained ballads that have never before
been printed, early letters, unpublished poems,
translations from the French and short prose
tales, which Mr.. Watts-Dunton, the literary
executor of Swineburne, found in the authors
room in manuscript form.
Other rare articles Of the collection are the
privately printed letters of both Robert Brown
ing and Elizabeth Barrett Browning and items
from Charlotte, Emily, and Anne Bronte, as
well as ten items by George Barrow which con-
cain ballads, translations and folk tales.

STORY OF THE PIN

1t is only about a century since the ma
facture of pins by machinery began. Bel
that time they were hammered out by Ia
and, of course, were much more costly Il
now. The earliest pin undoubtedly was ths
but bone and blonzepins have been found
prehistoric ruins.
In 1917 the first patent for the making
pins by machinery was granted, and since q
there have been many Improvements. The Z
machine-made pins had heads separated q
the shank the head being fastened on wit
wire.
By the newer methods the solid head pin
made in one piece. Wire of suitable ga
is run off reel and is nipped between ia
The piece of wire is headed by die and poip
by revolving cutter The pins so made
cleaned by boiling and are laid in a copper !
with alternate layers of grained tin. The
tents of the pan are sprinkled with al
(bitartrate Of potaSh) and boiled for six hot
the pin thus becoming coated with tin. II
are then washed, dried and polished in bal
containing bran.

UNIVERSITY "Y" GIRLS PROVIDE
MISSIONARY

Miss Nancy Lee Swan, graduate of the
University of Texas and for six years mission
airy to China, will represent the students of
that institution in the missionary field next
year, going as Y. w. c. A. foreign secretary
This comes as the result of a movement started
among the students during the past session by
the Young Womans Christian Association of
the University; an appropriation for the sup
port of a foreign representative is now included
in the annual budget of that organization, TO
which practically all women students in the
University subscribe.
1t seemed particularly fitting TO those at the
head of the movement that Miss Swan should
be selected as the first representative of the
University students, on account of her record
while in school, as well as her training in the
foreign field. She received her B. A. degree in
June, 1906, and was one of the four graduates
of that class to be elected TO Phi Beta Kappa,
the honorary society based on scholarship. In
1912 Miss Swan went to China as missionary
under the Baptist Denominational Board. After
seven years of work in the field she returned
to the University in the fall of 1919 to take the
work for her Masters degree, which she will
receive on August 81, at the Summer School
Commencement. She will leave for China early
in September

CATION PLANS TO FINANCE COTTON
MILLS

The "Give-a- bale-of- Cotton" plan of Thomas
NJ Cation, pioneer Jones County farmer, for fl
nancing the erection of chain of cotton mills
in West Texas, is becoming popular in West
Texas, according to w. X. Whipple, who is
studying the cotton situation Of West Texas
and preparing to start a campaign shortly in
Jones County for the qualification of the Cation
cotton mill plans.
Nolan, Howard Mitchell, Jones, Taylor and
other counties are interested in the Cation plan.
One farmer near Sweetwater recently declared
that he has been pressed by number of Jones
County farmers to espouse the plan and help
put it on its feet by pledging many bales of
cotton
The town of Spur has also some disciples of
the mill measure and probably as many IS so
bales of cotton have been tentatively pledged
without support for mill should it be built in
Stamford Recently a number of persons
representing themselves as interested in the
mill project of Jones and adjoining counties
have applied for detailed information on cotton
production by countries, water supplies and
other facts that might give them proper mater
ial for convincing arguments TO be presented TO
large cotton operators of the North.
While it is understood that some of the East
em mills would probably stringently oppose the
creation of another large cotton mill zone in
the nation, efforts toward putting over cotton
mill projects seem undminished and their
promoters undismayed. The prosperity of the
West has been revamped by another prosperous
period until farmers themselves are lords of
the eXchequer and purpose to bring about their
own salvation.

STATE NORMALS HELP SUPPLY
TEACHER DEMAND

Within the past two weeks the two state in
stitutions at Denton, Texas, have sent out more
than 200 teachers to meet the demand for
schools throughout the state.
The recent voluntary wage increases granted
teachers throughout Texas has had the effect
of encouraging more men and women TO join
the profession.
The enrolment figures obtained from the va
rious state institutions the past summer show
more than 1900 students matriculated at the
two institutions in Denton. In the past year
more than 1900 were sent out over the state
to meet the requirements to build up schools.
Students at the two colleges at Denton were
from Is counties in Texas and from eleven
other states
In Southwest Texas, class of more than 100
recently graduated from the institution at San
Marcos. A majority of these teachers will re-
main in Texas. A large number of the students
attending the summer normals have had some
experience in teaching and attended the insti-
tutions to increase their usefulness by advanc-
ing from one grade to higher or making their
certificates permanent.

CEMENT BEDS

Interest is being revived in the cement beds
in the mountain south of Rising Star in view
of the present scarcity of cement and the i'm
mense building campaign that is forecast by
the development of the local oil field.
According to geological report to the West
Texas Chamber of Commerce the cement beds
are reported among the largest in the country
and of superior grade of cement. Develop
ment of the beds would be easy and light in
expense by reason of the gas available in this
section. The sand in this region is also good
for making cement blocks, few buildings of
which have been erected in Rising Star.
Rising star is situated not only favorably
for the development of its oil resources, but
it has building material and natural resources

FEDERAL OFFICIALS TO PROBE
MEAT PRICES

United States District Attorney R. E. Taylor
of Fort Worth, who has been conducting an
investigation into the cause of the advance in
the price of ice throughout North Texas will in
clude all food stuff in his probe. This Official
recently compelled the bakers of Fort Worth
to come down on the price obtained for bread
when an effort was made to further advance
it.
The new investigation will be aimed at meat
sellers, whom the federal authorities believe
are violating the Lever act. Since beginning
the probe the price of bread has declined pro-
portionately to the price of wheat and an
ordinary loaf of bread may now be obtained
for dime
The price of meat sold to the consumer has
not declined proportionately to the decline in
what is paid the producer of meat animals
Cattle, hogs or sheep.
