COUNTY EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGNS.
Director F- M. Bralley of the Department
of Extension- of the University of Texas an-
nounces plans for county education cam-
paigns to be conducted jointly by the De-
partment of Extension and the county
superintendents of schools in the following
eight counties: Hill, Bosque, Ellis, Monta-
gue, Grayson, Hunt, Lamar and Van Zandt.
In several of these counties county farm
demonstrators will accompany the coun-
ty superintendent and the lecturers and as-
sist in the work, and the commercial clubs
will also give co-operation and help. Lec-
tures will be made in each county at from
five to seven places, the last appointment
in each county being at the county seat,
which will be the scene of a county educa-
tional rally.
Mr. Bralley in commenting upon the
work said, “Last year county educational
campaigns of this kind were conducted by
the Department of Extension in Smith,
Armstrong, Parker, Coryell and two or
three other counties, and the work was re-
garded by the people of these counties as
being exceptionally helpful along many

continued throughout the day, according to
reports given to the press at General Manuel
Chao’s headquarters in Juarez. The infor-
mation was based on official advices receiv-
has necessitated the postponement of several
important matters of late, has prompted the
proposed change- The entire commission
will meet only twice a year if the proposed
mayor said that he is heartily in sympathy
with the movement.
“Even if the leaders of the movement
did only one-half of what they say they can
do for the boys who are members, they de-
serve the utmost support. A boy is not
a miniature man, but he is entirely a dis-
tinctive type of animal that must be dealt
with in his own way. I believe that the
leaders of the boy scouts have solved the
way and are in a position to do much for'
the boys of the country—the men of the
future.”

Austin, Texas, March 26.—It has been
announced in railroad circles here that a
movement is on foot in Washington to in-

Commerce Commission from 7 to 16, and it
is also planned to divide the United States
into five groups, to each of which 3 com-
missioners will be assigned. The constant-

world in the production of cotton seed and
cotton seed products and 26 per cent of the
cotton seed crushing establishments of the
nation are located in this state. During
the past year 19 cotton oil mills have been
established in Texas.
Another big enterprise for Texas City
The announcement is made in today's paper
of the coming of a big company that will
invest two hundred thousand dollars in a
cotton seed products mill. This will be a
welcome addition to the various big enter-
prises already established here and an in-
centive to those that are contemplating com-

NAPLES—The police believe that Prof.
Giuseppe Mercalli, director of the Vesuvian
observatory, who was burned to death on
March 19, was murdered. A sum of $1,-

residence, took the money, strangled the
professor, saturated the body with petro-

organization, but without scoutmasters to
drill them, we can not receive them,” ed from General Villa filed at El Verjel,
Houston, Texas, March 26.—“The way to
train a nation to become progressive is to
teach its boys,” said S. A. Moffatt of New
York, national field commissioner of the
Boy Scouts of America, at a meeting of
the Houston council last night. “That is
the theory on which Christian missionaries
to foreign countries are now working. In-
stead of devoting their entire time to the
adults of their field they train the boys in
the arts to which the boys of civilized coun-
i
tries are trained. When these boys become
men they are in sympathy with the work
of the missionaries and greatly aid them.
“So to train our own boys to be resource-
ful, original and initiative men we should
give them the opportunity while yet boys
to develop these traits. In the boy scout
work we teach boys to take care of them-
selves in the woods or on the water, or in
any place where personal courage and quick
wittedness is required. That is not so
much that we expect those boys often to
be in such places of actual danger, where
those attributes are requisites to safety,
but it merely develops in the boys a self-
reliance that is a help to them in whatever
they may make their life work.
“It is becoming more necessary daily that
we train our boys of the city along such
lines, for we are becoming over-civilized.
The boy of the old pioneer family had to
develop self-reliance, and did it unconscious-
ly. But in this day, when everything is
done for the boy by mechanical means
and he has nothing left to do for himself,
there is danger that within a few genera-
tions we will produce a race of men who
can not do anything for themselves. The
boy scout movement was originated largely
to prevent such a condition.
The boy scout movement originated in
1908 in England, but for two years we in
America looked at it askance, doubting that
England could originate anything worthy
of emulation. Finally we started the
movement here, and our membership now

mosquitoes; papers and divers sort of trash.
Third—Thou shalt bear witness against
thy neighbor’s rubbish heap, likewise his

Fourth—Thou shalt clean out the habita-
tion of thy horses and thy cow frequently
lest the stable fly flourish and spread infan-
tile paralysis and the housefly breed by the
thousands and millions and annoy thee find
