THE 15 RYAN DAILY EAGLE
THE WIRELESS STATION
ITUJ. COLLEGE
Mr. J. D. Dickinson who has been
at College several days Installing the
wireless station twhlch he Is present-
ing to that Institution called on The
Eagle Tuesday and talked Interesting-
ly of his plana. He said the tower
would be completed and the Instru-
ments installed Wednesday and that
the Julie will be turned on at 5 o'clock
Wednesday afternoon. The top of the
tower is about 180 feet above the
ground. It Is said Mr. Dickinson the
greatest and most complete wireless
station possessed by any institution of
learning In the world. It Is his Inten-
tion to present a similar station to
the University of Texas which will
enable these two great Texas institu
tions to talk to each other at will and
will be a strong bond of union between
them. Mr. Dickinson does not claim
to be unselfish in these important con
tributions to education; he recognizes
the fact that the development of his
system of wlrelera telegraphy will re
(in I re the services of hundreds of
young men and his primary object Is
to secure Ihene.hy having them edu
cated and trained for this seclal
work at A. & M. college and the Unl
verslty of Texas. He is confident that
he will have employment for all thus
taught and trained for years to come
In regard to the Uryan station Mr.
Dickinson said that he would be pre
pared to Install It as soon as a day
current of sufficient voltage can le
secured which lie think will be about
the first of September. Hut In this
connection he made an announcement
of great Interest. He will leave for
Iloston in a few days and when he
returns he will bring two wireless
telephones one for Ilryan and the
other for A. & M. college which will
be put In oKratlon at once. This new
means of communication will he op
erated for the benefit of the public
under rules to be announced here
after.
Mr. Dickinson Is as enthusiastic as
ever In carrying out his great schemes;
defamation and erseeutlon have not
damiened his ardor in the least. He
nnyu It will be only a short time till
Bryan can send messages by wireless
to any part. of the great Southwest
and can receive communications with
out relay from Fk-llze from Panama
and most Important of all from Cape
San Antonio the eastern extremity of
Cuba where is located the relay sta-
tion for all South America. It seems
to us that what he has already ac-
complished Is a guarantee of his abil-
ity to do what he promises.

OLDEN DRINKING VESSELS.
lleakers still survive but some
other drinking vessels of the past
have well nigh disappeared from -use.
Drinking horns for Instance although
of unbreakable material seem to have
vanished from our Inns. In Wiltshire
one occasionally hears an old stager
order a "barn of yell" and In Worces-
tershire and Herefordshire cider is
drunk out of horns; but they do not
appears to be used In any other part
of Kngland. Whistle tankards too.
common enough at one time are ob-
solete. The corporation of Hull has
one of these tankards In which the
whistle conies Into play when the
tankard Is empty and this Is said to
! the only one of Its kind In Kng-
land. London Chronicle.
T. J. RECORD.
Mr. T. J. Jieeoid president of the
Lamar County Good ltoads Associa-
tion anJ a banker at Paris Texas
whose motto is: "When business In
terferes with building public roads
quit your business." Mr. Record quit
bis bank and managed the campaign
for issuing $:tUO000 in road bonds in
the Pari precinct of Lama rcounty
and carried the election by a vole of
13 to 1. A full vote was polled.
The Good Roads Association of La-
mar county began Its work by request-
ing the federal government to send an
engineer to Paris and lnsect the
roads In the proposed district and esti-
mate the cost of construction. The
report submitted by the government
expert showed It would cost $.'.000 per
mile to permUnently Improve the road
and a campaign on that basis for a
bond Issue of $:!00.000 was opened.
Any community In Texas can secure
a similar service from the government
free of cost by w riting Mr. L. W. Page
department of public highways Wash
ington D. C.
A K'tltlon for a bond election was
the next step necessary and the law-
required only fifty signatures; one
thousand signers to the petition were
secured.
The master stroke In the campaign
wag sending a committee of four mem
bers to ndjoining counties to Inspect
roads recently built by bond Issues
and to talk with farmers along the
route. The committee was composed
of two business men who favored the
bond issue and two prominent farm
ers who were leading the opposition.
The farmer memlxrs of the commit
tee saw heard and were convinced.
They returned to Paris good roads en
thusiasts and spent the last four days
of the campaign in the saddle riding
over the precinct like repentant sin
ners confessing the error of their
ways and preaching a gospel of prog
ress and prosperity.
On election day captains were
placed over each block in the city and
the rural districts were likewise sub-
divided and the territory covered by
progressive farmers.
Meetings were held at seven school
houses in the rural districts each even-
ing during the last ten days of the
campaign and the power of the press
thundered out for more roads and let-
ter roads. The campaign was a suc
cessful one and to the Intense interest
of the business men Is credited the
results of the election.

Did Your Coffee Taste Just Right this Morning?
Mr. Wilmon Newell state entomol-
ogist of Texas at A. & M. college says
that practical control of the cabbage
worm depends on early treatment.
When the cabbage .plants are first set
out or soon afterward i. they should
le sprayed with a mixture of paris
green one pound to liiO gallons of wa-
ter with two pounds stone lime added.
If the worms are killed while tne
plants are small little damage will be
later. However paris
greHn must not be applied to cabbages
after they head on account of the dan-
ger of poison remaining on them after
they are marketed.
After the crop is off all stalks and
worthless cabbage plants should be
. . .. . i uprooted and burned so as to cut off
quiet there having been a light move- ...
tions of cabbage worms.

Cattle receipts here last week were a
little lar.'r than the previous week
buj were still moderate and less than
the corresponding week a year ago.
The market advanced lOftl.V for the
week to which might be ajded 10c
more on account of the very good fills
secured all week. The rise in price
and the general action of the market
were acceptable to shippers and had
the effect of shutting off many of the
steers that were being sent in prema-
turely. Whatever hopes arose in the
breasts of cattle feeders last week
received some discouragement today;
run nearly 10000 here and heavy at
Chicago; market steady to 10c lower
worst on heavy steers. The backset
today is not regarded seriously and
a general uplift in prices is antici-
pated in the next few weeks. Packers
anticipate this as they have already
served notice of an advance in whole-
sale price ' of meats effective in the
near future. The best price paid for
heavy steers last week- was $0.10

Have you ever know n a teacher who
wn a crank on the matter of proniot
ing children only on merit whoj was
not also a crank on not promoting
teachers on merit?
The merit system as applied to
teachers throws every teacher Into a
fit who insists upon the merit system
when applied to her pupils. Such
teachers object to a merit for teachers
on the ground that no superintendent
can be unbiased in his Judgment and
yet they get furious if you suggest
that they may be biased regarJing a
child.
They say that a superintendent is
sure to play favorites but they will
never forgive yon if you suggest that
there is a possibility of their playing
favorites. Journal of Education.
