The dance question was left to
the students to solve last autumn,
and it was expected they would
force the new steps out of use by
the feeling of disrepute against
them, but instead it became apparen^
that the dances were becoming the
rage at various student social af-
fairs and the edict was issued.

elation ef Brenham has Just receiv-
ed - the following communication
from the Business Men's League of
St. Louis in regard to the establish-
ment of one of the fear great Re-
gional Banks under the Glass-Owens
Currency blU and -steps will be tak-
en at this end of the line to comply
with the requests contained in the
communication:
St Louis, Mo., Jan. 8, 1914.
Young Men's Business Association,
Brenham, Texas.
Gentlemen:
Organisation of the new banking
system probably will result la the
establishment of four great region-
al hanks, or central reserve region-
al banks, the four to be of compara-
tively equal importance. It seem#
likely that St. Louis, Chicago, New
York and Francisco wlU be these
central reserve cities. St. Louis mid
Chicago, now central reserve cities,
are the leading financial and mer-
cantile centers west of the. Atlantic
seaboard, aBd the two great centers
of the spacious Intermountaln ter-
ritory. Chicago In the North. and
St Louis In the South.
It is of extreme importance to the
South andWest that one of the four
great regional banks should be lo-
cated in St. Louis. There is no
doubt that there will be a regional
bank In St* Louis, but every effort
should be made to assure the estab-
lishment of an Institution commen-
surate with the requirements of thq
South and West. As your city will
be Situated in the St. Louis banking
district, it is of vital interest to ybur
commerce, including both trade ahd
agriculture, that one of the largest
regional reserve banks should be
located In St. Louis. The capacity
of the St Louis institution Is of
special importance to you, as. H
means ample facilities for com-
merce and development. ,1.:
On receipt of this communication
kindly call a meeting of your board
of directors or executive committee,
and adopt resolutions urging the es-
tablishment of a great regional bank
in St Louis. Immediately mail the
resolutions to the Organization Com-
mittee of Federal Reserve Board,
Washington, D. C. Please send us
a copy of the resolution. AS SOON
AS ADOPTED, or send one or more
representatives to St. Louis with
your resolutions and have him pre-
sent them In person to the Organ-
ization Committee, which meets in
St. Louis on January 21 and 22;
also please have your bankers anjd
influential business men write to the
Organisation Committee.
It la unnecessary to'tell you that
St Louis has the largest banking
capacity of any city south of the
Illinois river and west of the Mis-
sissslppi river, and that it is now
a central reserve city of power for
about half of the United States.
Please act promptly in this Im-
portant matter.
Very truly yours,
A. L. Shaplelgh, President
W. T. Saundus, Secretary.

is hardly a man, woman, or child for

dot either had tho-pleasure of know-
ing him personally, feeling the warm
grasp of his friendly hand, or have
heard 6t him many times, either in

the Courthouse.
There are few men fortunate
enough to possess the gift ef mak-

in the way that Green Morgan pos-

the longer he is known the better
Is he liked and the warmer bis
friends become. V
Green Morgan effers for this po-
sition because he ^feels that he can
fill it to the entire satisfaction of
the people 6f Washington County.
The records of the office show that
it is one of the best-kept offices in
the great State of Texas, and that
he has done his work faithfully and
well Itf this respect. Of eourse, it
Is a fact that Mr. Morgan has kept
on his staff very** capable-highly ef-

worked with him to the end that
the people of this county should
have nothing but the very best ser-
vice that it is possible to give. If
elected, Mr. Morgan promises to con-
tinue his effort to please the people
at all times, knowing that he; is
"their servant and that they are en-
titled to nothing but first-class ser-
vice.
If it is possible to Improve the
service, be will be the first to, see
the necessity and the first to make
every effort for the satisfaction of
the people.

progress of the campaign, to Visit

urge his claims and to ask them
to consider his name when the day

Beaumont, Texas, Jan. 12.—Re-
ports from all sections of the Rice
Belt received by the Southern Rice
Growers' Association today show
that 35,00 sacks were sold at prices
set by the association. ,
This was the largest sale made in
several weeks and one of the largest
-this season. As reports of condi-
tions continue to come in each day,
General Manager E. A. Eiguns be-
comes more and more convinced that
'the association's estimate of the 1913

College' Station, Tex., Jan. 12.—
Plans for one of the biggest high
school and academy track meets and
oratorical and debating contests ever
held In Texas are being made by the
athletic council and faculty members
for the annual spring meet at the
A. & M. College. The,, interscbolas-
tlc meet and oratorical contest this
year will be held some time during
April near San Jacinto Day and will
be one of the big events of a ses-
sion of celebration according to the
plans as they are being discussed by
the A. & M. workers.
While no final arrangements have
been made tile council and commit-
tees from the faculty and student
organisations are planning to have
the track meet, the Ross Volunteer
dance, one of the three big dances
of the year at the college, the an-
nual spring carnival, a big base-
ball game and one or two other
events the same week. By dove-
tailing these events a dumber of ad-
vantages will be attained. In the
firqt place it will make the stay Uf
the high school and academy boys
at the college more pleasant and
will give them rare opportunities for
seeing real college life, and then It
will bring all . of the spring attrac-
tions together so that students will
be over the distraction once and for
all, '
Last year, due to Ihck of funds, the
traek meet was ndt held, but this
year the college athletic enthusiasts
are determined to hold the meet In
spite of a continued lack of funds.
One new feature that will be In-
troduced in addition to the track
events and the debating and ora-
torical contests will be k stock and
grain judging contest conducted- by
students of the affiiated high schools
that offer some work in agriculture.
A program of rare entertainment
will be arranged for the athletes and
nothing will be left undone to make
the meet the most successful ever
conducted at the college.
To formulate plans for the meet
a committee composed of Prof. B. J.
Kyle, chairman, representing the
faculty; Coach Moran, Cadet Captain
Geo. Knox of San Antonio, Cadet
Captain O. J. James, also of San
Antonio, and Prof. R. J. Potts, gen-
eral manager of athletics, has been
appointed. This committee W|ll
have Its plans completed within a
few days and the program will be
announced soon.
