students from McKiuncy from

men hear of the brutal treatment
which new students must endure
before Issnmlng "one of the Iniys"

One would hardly Hunk that
such brutal, iiiicivili/e'l practice
would be permitted at our insti-

attend colleges where they can
get a more civilized rcccptlon, so
prc-s reports tell lis.
'lhc practice of lut/.iug can be
stopped and to admit that it can-
not lie Mopped is a reflection
upon the law and order of our
slate anil the ability of the offi-
cials of the schools. It is an out-
rage and a shame to ,-ce ambitious
young nu n enter school with a de-
sire for u higher education to he
met by a delegation of disrespect-
ful bullies who pose as ring
leaders anil the "Initiators" ut
Colleges. It Is time that these
liuzcrs should be tuught that our
colleges mid universities are not
established and iniiiniiiined to
letu'li them how to inflict useless,
inexcusable and harmful Injuries
to eltlier new or older students.
IC the A. & M. College of Tex-
os und our other colleges aiul Uni-
versities continue this practice
they will continue to drive stu-
dents to other slates for higher
education or cause young men to
abiuidou their ambitious for high-
er lemming. We need men at the
head of tliesc colleges and Univer-
sities that are big euough and
have backbone enough to put an
end to it.

mouth; rid your face of that frown;
cast that grouch from your being.

School trustees of i 'oilin county

are members of an organization called
tho County Trustees' Association. They
realize great benefits from the organ!

will discuss school problems and ar-
range for a complete scholastic census.

This year tho world will have the
'biggest cotton carryover in the bistort
of the industry. This Is according to K.
F. Shropshire, secretary of the cotton
division of tho Farm iiureaii, who
says that a reduction ol' acreage Is the
only solution. Every possible plan
should be made by farmers to "live at
i home" through llie planting of gar-
dens, making arrangvmcnls for a good
supply of butter, eggs and incut ,i ; I
'wherever possible subs! it u t-
lng some other croji for cotton. Should
a normal crop be planted this year. It
is stilted that next year's price can be
iexpected 'o be even less than the one
this year.

Governor Pat M. Neff's action in
abolishing the board of pardons has
met with the approval of the law-abul-
ling citizenship of Texas. Its effect on
'reducing the crime wave now sweep-
ing the country will be far reaching.
Governor Neff has also recommended
to the Legislature that the suspended
sentence law in its entirety be abolish-
ed. The Governor has also recom-
mended a law be enacted prohibiting
prosecuting attorneys from allowing
defendants to plead guilty to a num-
ber of indictments and be punished for
only one. Governor Neff says that this
practice on the part of prosecuting at-
torneys was expensive insomuch as
the attorneys collected fees in each
of the cases dismissed. Governor Neff
is right ugain. When persons are ln-
back on the Job the price of eggs take ! d)ctc(, Qn Beveral ohtirgeN

Rat Uumam' Is 73,000,(100.
The annual damage done by rate of
Texas is estimated at $7^,000,000 by
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
which bases Its estimate upon a num-
ber of reports received from farmers
In various parts of the state. 10. A.
Cray of the U. S. Bureau of Biological
Survey has been detailed to Texas by
U. H. Secretary of Agriculture Mere-
dith to work upon the problem In
Texas. Mr. Oray has had much suc-
cess recently in campaigning against
the rat In California.
"Tho rat, damage or $72,000,000 an-
nually is spread in a thin veneer over
tho entire state, hence it is difficult
to arouse great interest in the cam
pnlgn against the rodent." says a bul-
letin sent out by tho state chamber
"yet eradication in a few localities
without the cooperation of the entire
state will be futile. Estimates of tho
rat damage, of course, are likely to he
erroneous, yet such damages are un-
doubtedly enormous, and It is certain-
ly a matter of good business on the
part of Texas to get rid of the pest."
Owing to conditions over which the
society had no control, the appearance
of the Texas Christian University (Iter
Club here on Feb. 18 has been post-
'ponod Indefinitely, according to an-
nouncement by the 1411a Jenkins Aid
society under whose auspices the club
was to appear. The dntc given In this
paper yesterday as Feb. 11 should
have been Feb. 18. But tho date hn*
been canceled. However, another date
may be arranged for the appeuriuice
of the club hero, as the organization is
very anxious to give a performance
here.
