The lirazo county aeed corn exhibit
wa mnde at the court houae thli
morning and notwithstanding the very
dlHagreeuble weather ulte a number
came In and the exhibit wa a uc-
rea. There wa a great many varie-
ties of corn abown In both white yel
low and mixed varieties Mr. J. Webb
Howell and F. W. Yeager had charge
of the exhibit and arranged the corn
on long table for the purpone placed
In the hall on the Drut floor of the
court houHe. The corn w all fln!
and ho that gre at Improvement has
been mad In grolng corn In lirazo
county in the pat few year. The
Mpeclmen shown altw pe that Juxt
an good corn can be grown in lirazo
county a In any part of Texas. This
Improvement Is due to need selection
fertilization and Improved cultural
methods.
Kviry year our farmers are taking
greater Interest in the Improvement
of their corn ami this thing of them
having their crib In north Texas and
Oklahoma 111 soon be a thing of tne
ptl! t.
When that day come It will be great
for them and for everybody else.
Thousands upon top of thousands of
dollars go out of Hrawi county every
'year for corn and when th'.a drain
Is sto(jd the farmer will have more
money to pay for other things and
the volume of buslnes of the mer-
i bants ill 1 Increased by this enor-
mous sum.
Following Is a list of those who
made exhibits nt the corn hrw to-
dcy :

While the number of exhibitors as
not so great as it was in the corn
show last year and a In thl respect
disappotnting. this lack was more
than compensated by the uerior
quality of the exhibit showing that
Hrazos county farmer are steadily
raising the standard of excellence. Tie
small atte ndance is accounted for by
the inclement weather. In considers
tion of which It i surprising that there
were a many as there aere.
Prof. II. L. McKnlgbt remarked to
the repreaentatlve of The Eaglo that
be found much difficulty in making
the award because every one of the
exhibitor deserved a premium. The
limited time forbade the use of a
Rcore card and the awards had to be
made on the general apis-urance of
the ehiblt. If the score card haj
been employed il i probable that the
results In some cases would have been
different.
It is a matter of universal regret
that the institute work had to be
postponed because of the bad weather.
It is not abandoned however and
The E.irle is authorized to announce
that another date will be agreed upon
as soon a practicable probably In the
Utter part of the present month. In
addition to the regular institute work
to be done at that time it is the in-
tention of the progressive farmers of
Hrazos county to hold a special Insti-
tute a scon a practicable to dls
cuss cotton and Irish potatoes.
On the whole. In spite of the ad-
verse circumstance the meeting to-
day demonstrated that the spirit of
progress among the farmers of Hrazos
county I stronger and more deter-
mined than ever before. In this re-
spect Brazos Is far In advance of all
other counties in South Central Tes-
und In line with the foremost in ;
;the state. It Is no exaggeration or
ilhe plain truth lo ssy that the num
ber of Texas counties who are abreast
of Hrazos can be counted on the fin-
ger of one hand leaving out the
thumb.
THE FIRE.
Dig Dry Goods House of A. J. Wagner
4 Company Had Close Call.
About 7 o'clock last evening fire
broke out In the second story of the
big dry good house of A. J. Wagner
A Company on West Anderson street
and for a time it looked like our lit-
tle city was to suffer another disas-
trous conflagration.
The fire started In the rear of the
building on the second floor and was
burning briskly before It was dlcov-
ored. Mr. W. 8. Wilson and the em
ployee In the store were Just starting
to c lose up and leave for the night.
They hud come out the front dHr and
ust as Mr. Wilson turned around to
lock the door the flare from the
flame was seen. They rushed back
In'o the building and the clerk be-
gan a strenuous fight with buckets
there being a barrel full of water at
the p ar of the building. In this way
they kept it from making much head-
way until the firemen arrived on the
scene.
When the alarm was telephoned in
to central office Mr. Albert Worley
who formerly drove the fire wagon
was In the office and realizing that
it was the time for Driver Calhoun
to be at his supier rushed with all
possible speed to the Pre station and
sure e nough Mr. Calhoun was at sup-
pe r. Mr. Worley hooked up and In a
very few seconds bad a line of hose
laid from the Rhode corner. As soon
as It wa connected another line was
laid from the corner at Mr. A. It.
Carr's residence.
The pressure wss light at first but
Mr. J E. Covey wss soon at the water
plant and w hen told of the seriousness
of the situation took the pump In
rbarge and turned the steam up to
SO pounds pump pressure. 'The water
came then with a crash and in a very
short time the fire was under control.
It was quick work both on the part
of the employee- of the store and the
firemen and In that way a very se-
rious fire lews was averted.
The fire originated in a big Im of
rubber goods both rubber shoes and
rubber coats. The water soaked a
big let of ho and other good on
the second floor and ran through and
damaged a big lot of clothing on the
firm f'oor.
Mr. Wilson stated to the reporter
this morning that he had not made a
thorough investigation but thought
the damage would run between three
and four thousand dollars. Fully cov-
ered by Insurance.
The fire originated right where the
elei tile win- come through Into the
second tory and Mr. Wilson stated
that If It did not originate from the
wires he had no Idea whnt ould have
started It.

BAD WEATHER REPORT.
Fearful bad weather is rerted. In
fact It is already here and Is expected
to be f reeving in a short time. It is
fearful wet and floppy under foot
rendering It absolutely necessary to
be well shod. Careful protection of
the feet i one of the best precautions
against sickness and ever)' body should
look to their shoe's. The famous "Star
Rrand" shoes sold by W. J. Coulter
are the best In the world. They are
thick souled and warm keeping the
feet dry and protected. Get a pair
of them and safeguard yourself
against colds and pneumonia.

On Lifting Cats snd Rsbbets.
It Is a mlstakeu idea that tbe proper1
way to lift a full Rrowu cat Is by tbe
nape of Ita neck without supporting
tbe lower part of It body with tbe
other hand. It Is true that tbe mother
cat carries young kittens by grasping
In her mouth the M skiu at tbe
back of her offspring's neck but a
tiny kitten Is a very different matter
from a lars cat. and. Iwleeel. tbe only
war to lift a kitten without snueeiing
or hurting Iu soft little boeJy is to lift
It by Its neck. But after it has grown
larger Us own weight is too greai 10
be supported by such a bit of skla and
fur as Is so grasped by tbe band ana
many a cat suffers perfect tortures by
being held in this manner and Is quite
helpless to run or struggle as In such
a position certain of Ha ronwjes can-
not be controlled and It Is absolutely
at the mercy of Its unconscious tor-
mentor. Tbe same rale should be observed In
lifting rsbblts by their ear. They
should always be partially supported
by the free band and not allowed t
dangle with their whole weight strain-
ing from tbelr large but oeressarliv
delicate ears. Watchword.
Mere Than One Way.
The caller a man wboro be bacl'
