The International & Great Northern
Railroad is again forced Into a re-
ceivership. Railroads all over the
country are suffering the same fate
and we very naturally wonder why?
There is as much traffic both freight
and passenger as ever yet not a road
In the country Is making any returns
on the Investment and retrenchment
Is the order of the day. Trains are
being annulled shops closed and men
laid off by the hundred. The Galves-
ton News published a statement a few
days ago that of the roads entering
that city nearly a hundred train
crews bad been laid off. The same
J true everywhere and thousands of
men are thrown out of employment.
as well as business seriously handi-
capped. The Eagle believes the cause
of this depression among railroads Is
because they are not given a square
deal. The long campaign of abuse and
adverse legislation Is now bearing
fruit
We of these Vnlted States of j gtarched cuffs toys and other articles
America have often reveled in the designed to catch the eye of the slm-
proud boast that we could build a i pe mnded African native. Plug to-

on earth. Be that as It may we know
for a fact that if twenty million peo-
ple across the seas shall elect to
spend their otherwise valuable time
flying at each other's throats while
the American farmer keep his hands
to the plow If this condition should
prevail very long we know who
would be begging for bread.
The secretary of the Commercial
Club has Just returned from Barker's
prairie and says the road at that place
is holl. We wonder what he would
have thought about It if he had reach-
ed this place In an auto with his en-
tire family with only about six-bits left

Hon. Clarence Onsley of Fort Worth
has been appointed to direct A. & M.

Mr. Ousley will have complete con-
trol of the work and will conduct the
affairs of this department creditably.
He Is especially qualified having
spent some time In foreign countries
studying scientific agriculture.
We are receiving post cards from
our editor who Is enjoying the week
on the coaBt bearing pleasant scenes
etc. saying "Delightful Time" "En-
Joying the breezes" etc. Now that
is one way an editor can get himself
in trouble.
The editor saw a kid on the beach
at Galveston and one of hi legs was
red and badly swollen. Upon Inquiry
he stated a "Portuguese man o' war"
got him. He thanked u for suggest-
ing that next time he fly the United
States flag.
Some plan should be started to
electrify the Bryan-College Interurban.
We are informed that the manage-
ment cannot carry out their plans
without some help. It is Important
that this Improvement be made and
at once.
Crop condllons in Brazos County
are looking better.
The Eagle learn that through the
efforts of the agricultural committee
of tbe Commercial Club a aeries of
farmers' Institutes will be held
throughout Braos County this fall
and winter. The personnel of this
committee Is a guarantee that these
Institutes will be measurably free
from thnt dry-as-dust species of
harangue that not Infrequently char-
acterizes such meetings.
For two days now El Paso has been

vention anyway?'
For a number of years It has been
Impossible for Brazos County people
to get to Bryan Christmas week on
account of the muddy roads. Let's
all get together and build our public
highways so they can be traveled at
any time.

TRADED FOR AFRICAN IVORY.
Ending a twelve thousand mile voy-
age which Included the navigation of
many uncharted river In Africa
where Ivory valued at $40000 was re-
ceived In trade from uncivilized tribes
of natives the Franzfeldt a German
freight ship ha Just discharged one
of the most Interesting cargoes ever
seen here. Her voyage was one of
the moBt unusual of any undertaken
In recent years. The freighter left
here about four months ago burdened
with cheap calicoes of flnrlng patterns
gaudy watches and other Jewelry of
all descrlntlons. antiquated opera hats
Africans was also among the cargo.
These articles were traded for superb
elephants' tusks ostrich plumes ani-
mal skin and miscellaneous product
of the African desert and Jungle. That
tfie venture was a paying one was con-
ceded by Captain Courdes and the of-
ficers of the Franzfeldt who are anx-
ious to repeat the voyage. Even In
the remotest regions Inquiries were
frequently made by the natives for
liquor. None was carried for barter
by the Franzfeldt although other ves
sels which have made similar trading
expeditions have carried liquor ex
cluslvely as it has been found to be
the best stork In trade. Three small
boys picked up at Berebra and two
Zulus shipped at Mauritius were ad
the crew when she arrived
here. They were awe stricken at the
sight of the skyscrapers of Manhattan
and refused to leave the vessel when
other members of the crew offered to
show them about on snore. The trip
up the bay was a continuous pano
rama of wonders for the natives.
RESERVISTS A CITY PROBLEM.
New York Aug. 13. The thousands
of army reservists stranded In this
city anxiously waiting for a chance
to return to their countries have
caused some uneasiness to the depart-
ment of charities. The problem Is a
serious one as the reservists continue
to pour Into the city and large num-
bers of them will be unable to obtam
transportation for some ' little time
and will become dependent upon this
city. .Throngs of the eager foreigners
have flocked about the consulates
registering and expressing their de-
sire to return to the aid of their
armies.
MIDDIES EXPECTED HOME.
Annapolis Md. Aug. 13. The bat-
tleships Idaho Missouri and Illinois
with the members of the three classes
of midshipmen now attached to the
Naval Academy are expected to reach
Hampton Roads sometime today.
There they will engage in target prac-
tice returning to Annapolis about the
28th of the month. While on the
cruise the middle visited Gibraltar

Fort Worth Editor Appointed Under
Term of Smith-Lever
Bill.
College Station Tex. Aug. :2 An-
nouncement of the appointment of
Clarence Ousley of Fort Worth as di
rector of extension at the Agricultural
and Mechanical College was made pub-
lic today by Acting President Puryear.
.Mr. Ousley's appointment Is effective
August 15. Soon after the passage of
the Smith-Lever bill an act of Con-
gress appropriating large sum of
money for extension work at the col-
lege President Puryear began nego-
tiations with the Fort Worth man. At
a meeting of the board of directors
his appointment was confirmed and
today Mr. Ousley wired his accept-
ance. Mr. Onsley will have complete con-
trol of the extension work under the
Smith-Lever bill and will assist In the
reorganization of the department.
Last year he went to Europe as a rep-
resentative of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College to study rural
credit and organization problems.
Deep interest in the farmers' prob-
lems and thorough study of rural ques-
tions and scientific agriculture pecu-
liarly fit Mr. Ousley for his new posi-
tion says President Puryear. Mr.
Ousley who for many years has been
editor of the Record at Fort Worth
has been active in agricultural devel
opment circles for the past few years
His plans for warehouse systems and
other legislative program designed to
be of practical benefit to the former
have brought him in close touch with
the forming Interests. He succeeds
C. M. Evans as director of extension
Mr. Evans having resigned to enter
the Journalistic field.

Smlthvllle Tex. Aug. 13. Taylor.
Bastrop and Smlthvllle declared a
holiday yesterday afternoon and turn-
ed out en masse to hear the speakers
discuss the good roods question.
Rastrop stores were closed from 4 to
6 o'clock and the speakers addressed
an enthulastlc audience. Smith villa
met the train with a brass band and
an audience of 500 good roods boost-
ers. Crowds have been good all along
the line. Yesterday the special left
Waco at 7:30 o'clock and although It

a delegation of road enthusiasts on

THRIFT AS A NATIONAL ASSET.
The savings of residents of the
United States which they entrust to
bankers of different kinds show
marked differences of confidence In
banking systems as well as equally
distinct sectional habits of thrift. To
spend less than one might now In or-
der to have something saved to spend
tomorrow or years hence is a more
deeply rooted habit among people of
the East than it Is of those persons
who are called Westerners. To de-
posit any surplus Income In the cus-
tody of a commercial bank Is more
habltuol In regions South and West
than it Is in the North and East
where a double system of commercial
and savings banks exists the latter
having deposits that reflect n Btart-
ling way the profits Qpmlng to labor
as well as to capital where diversified

To account for these sectional dif-
ferences of habit and of Ideal is not
an Impossible task for a competent
Interpreter given suitable time and
place for the exposition. Suffice It
to soy here and now that as the coun-
try grow older these present differ-
ences will tend to disappear. Time
w ill be on the side of the habit of
thrift because as population waxes
and cost of living rises frugality now
more chorocterlstlc of the longest set-
tled regions will be found necessary
generally In order to maintain exist-
ence at traditional standards of living.
Nor Is this the only factor at work
now making saving a more generally
approved and practical habit. The
Nation by its postal banks hns en-
couraged thrift where neither the mu-
tual savings bonks nor the commercial
bank could. The success of the sys-
tem Indicates how general Is the de
