TEXAS COLLEGE
TO TRAIN H
FOR THE ■
2500 to Be Given Special
Course This Year in
Technical Work.
WELDERS ARE NEEDED
Pershing Sends Request for
Skilled Hands to Salvage
War Wreckage.
COLLEGE STATION Tex. Jan.
19.—T0 help supply General Persh-
inas forces with technically trained
men. the Agricultural and Mechani-
cal College of Texas has agreed to
provide training for 2000 or 2500
mechanics and technicians between
May 1 and October 1 while 1000
men will be provided with this course
beginning February 1 if the War
Department Is able to provide that
many men by then President Bizzell
announced today.
This announcement came following
a conference with Prof. F. C. Bolton
head of the school of electrical engi-
neering who has just returned from
Washington where he represented
the college in a conference of repre-
sentatives of technical schools and
colleges with the war board for vo-
cational education in reference to
training men to meet the emergency
which confronts General Pershing
who wants a number of men. The
War Department expects with the
co-operation of all such institutions
to equip 60000 mechanics and tech-
nicians by October 1.
Welders in Great Demand.
The greatest need just now. Gen*
oral Pershing reports is for autoge-
nous welders capable of repairing
any character of machinery and
guns one big task being the remak-
ing of captured German guns.
In order to care for the large num-
ber of men under this arrangement
President Bizzell announces that such
readjustment of and additions to the
equipment and teaching forces of the
college will be made as are deemed
necessary by the War Department
and ample housing facilities for tak-
ing care of the men will be provided.
The War Department will care for
the added expense involved.
A complete report on the plan will
be made to Washington within a few
days setting forth the facilities of
the college and the advantages it
offers for the giving of this charac-
ter of instruction.
While in Washington Professor Bol-
ton attended the conference of the
representatives of the land grant col-
leges of the country where a com-
mittee was named to confer with the
secretary of agriculture and the pro-
vost marshal general relative to
placing the instructors and pupils in
agriculture falling within the mili-
tary age under deferred classifica-
tions under the draft in recognition
of their value in food and feed pro-
duction. The committee report later
on the success of this conference.
Xi ne Military Instructors.
With the detail of Lieut. Augustus
F. W. McManus retired to the A.
an t ] M. College as assistant professor
of military science and tactics the
instructional force in the military
department of the college numbers
nine men. Three of these are com-
missioned officers headed by Col.
Charles J. Crane commandant while
six of the men are sergeants. Lieu-
tenant McManus has held several col-
lege details before and has seen serv-
in' in the Philippines and other
countries.
The requisition for an additional
man here has been in the hands of
the adjutant general for several
months but the scarcity of available
men has prevented the honoring of
the requisition heretofore. The col-
lege authorities are delighted with
the detail of this additional in-
structor.
FIRST LECTURE OF
CARNEGIE LIBRARY
COURSE THURSDAY
Dr. Edward Howard Griggs
to Be Heard at School
Auditorium.
Dr. Edward Howard Griggs who
will deliver the first lectures of the
Carnegie Library's free course in
1918 willspeak in the new audito-
rium of the Main Avenue High
School Thursday January 24. Tn the
afternoon he will lecture at
o'clock on the “Meaning and Func-
tion of Sculpture and Painting.’’ and
in the evening at 8:15 o’clock he
will talk on “The World War nnd
Eethics.’’ This will mark Dr. Griggs'
third appearance before San Antonio
audiences. It is said that his lectures
afford an unusual treat which can
be enjoyed by all. as they are tree
to the public. A bulletin issued by
the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and
Sciences has the following to say
of the lecturer:
“There are few lecturers in the
United States who have won the
reputation which Edward Howard
Griggs has won. and fewer still who
have the loyal following that he has
had- and continues to have* in undi-
minished numbers. He is as popu-
lar. too in Canada as he is in the
United States and regularly visits
the Dominion where his lectures are
immensely enjoyed by a people not
so much given to lecture-gnirg as
their cousins across the line.
“The appeal which Dr. Griggs
makes Is perhaps chiefly ethical.
He brings out the ethical aspect of
his subject naturally artistically ef-
fectively. He delights in dealing with
great writers who make this appeal
—such as Dante. Goethe. Browning
etc. Much thinking on these and
kindred souls has insensibly affected
his own soul and is reflected Lt his
many discourses.
“Then Dr. Griggs’ lectures are
DEPUTY SHERIFF
NOW ENDORSES II
J. D. Patton Says Tanlac
Ends His Troubles of
Twenty Years’
Standing.
“I suffered for twenty years with
rheumatism indigestion and a
chronic liver trouble and spent
hundreds of dollars for different
kinds of medicine trying to get
well but it only took three bottles
of Tanlac to straighten ine out and
make me feel like a different man”
said J. D. Patton of Keefeton
Okla. a man well known in that
section and also in Rains County
T«xas. where he served as deputy
sheriff for several years. Mr. Pat-
ton is now deputy sheriff of Mus-
kogee County Okla. and holds
large farming Interests there.
“It's an actua* fact” he con-
tinued. “I was hardly ever free
from rheumatism and was so full
of misery most of the time I could-
n’t rest or sleep at night to amount
to anything. The main trouble
seemed to be in my shoulders and
the awful pains were due I think
to the condition of my liver. I
couldn’t eat to do any good and
had to be very careful about the
little that I managed to force down
or 1 would have hours of suffering
afterwards. 1 fell off twenty
peunds in weight and got into such
a bad shape it was a burden to
look after the work on the farm
and attend to all of my other busi-
i.ess. 1 kept getting worse a!) the
time and had just al out given up
hope of ever getting anything to
relieve me.
“But three bottles of Tanlac have
dore me so much good I haven’t
hud an ache or a pain since I fin-
ished taking them and honestly’ I
don't feel like the same person. I
have a good appetite and 1 can eat
anything I want and it all agrees
with me too. I have gained back
all of my lost weight sleep like a
log at night and when I get up in
the morning I am full of energy
and attend to my business without
a bit of trouble.
“My wife is so pleased with the
results that I have gotten from
Tanlac that she bought a bottle for
herself today. We know just what
it will do and feel satisfied that
there isn’t another medicine in the
wot Id just as good.”
Tanlac is sold in San Antonio by
Magner's Drug Store and Meier's
Pharmacy under personal direction
of a special Tanlac representative.

largely’ flavored by philosophy. He
philosophizes in a very’ entertaining
as well as instructive manner and
this with their substantial eth‘val
foundation gives to his lectures their
great intellectual value and stimu-

AUSTIN Tex.. Jin. 19.—Cipt.dO
J. F. Nichols member of the Leg jLi-
ture from Hunt county does not see
why he should relinquish his seat
in the House because he has joined
the aimy according to a letter re-
ceived from him by Governor I lob-
by. Captain Nich de b< Heves that he
can 1 add his seat in the Legislature
and sene his country at the fame
time.
“In the event my dut’es to the na-
tion require that I leave the state of
Texas for such a length of time that
would make it impossible for me to
be present at any session of the Leg-
islature then in such event I would
tender my resignation” he said in
his letter.
The question of whether a memi»3r

POSTOFFICE REDUCES
COST OF OPERATION
BY FIVE PER CENT
Decrease Is Shown in Last
Quarter of 1917—Re-
ceipts Over $270000.
The cost of operation of the San*
Antonio postofftee for the last three
months of 1917 has decreased over
the cost for the similar period of
the previous year 5 per cent ac-
cording to computations made at the
office.
In 1916. it cost the San Antonio
office 37.3 per cent of its receipts
to maintain business. During Octo-
ber. November and December ot
1917 this cost was cut to 32.3 per
cent. The receipts for the quarter
named exceeded two hundred and
seventy-five thousand dollars so
that anyone interested may form a
correct idea of how the San Antonio
office is turning money into the
general treasury.
“Cost of operation.” said Postmas-
ter Armistead “not only includes
every expense of our own and »very
expense of all stations maintained
under the jurisdiction of this office
but it means a very considerable
sum expended monthly in payment
of salaries to every railway postal
clerk who runs in and out of San
Antonio.

Forty-five Cent Kit Is Sent

When a man is placed under great

soldier in the trenches to maintain
his maximum of usefulness as a
fighting man requires that which
soothes his nerves as only tobacco
can.
Just what tobacco means to the
fighting soldier is not fully realize 1
by the people at hom^ or even by the
soldier who has not yet been placed
“in the thick of it.” Army officers

themselves who arc fighting in the
mud of Flanders have found that it
ranks as a necessary along side of
shelter food and warm cloth.ng.
It is the duty of the American
people at home since the govern-
ment does not furnish this necessary

Americans in France are well-sup-
plied with American “smokes” which
eannot be purchased “over there.”

When John Bitter county tax ccl-
Icctor closed his office Saturday atf-
ernoon 8296 residents of San An-
tonio and Bexar county had quali-
fied ns voters in elections that may
be held during 1918. The record
shews a decrease of nearly 2500 as
compared with the payment vf poll
taxes the corresponding day last
year.
Beginning Monday morning those

poll tax receipts will face a rush at
the office of the tax collector in the
court house. The rush experienced
during the last few days has al-
ready caused lines of citizens to be
formed and waits of from five to fif-
teen minutes. Only ten days more
remain in which a resident may qual-
ify as a voter.
Unless the remaining days wit-
ness a heavy demand daily the total
poll taxes for Bexar county will
show a material decrease as com-
pared with the record established
last year. The present record shows
the actual poll taxes paid to be
7396 which with 900 exemptions is-
sued. provides a present voting
strength of 8296. The record at this
time in 1917 stood 10790 voters
