ONE BOY WHO HAS MADE MONEY
The best pumllilt' evidence that Mc-
Lennan County farmer boys can make
money by Joining the "buy a pig"
movement ItiuiiKiiriited by the Waco
Chamber of Conimerce Is contained
in the fad that Vernon Quilliiin n
young lad of Hr. thin county bcnan
Investing In bins In the fall of IM
with the small sum of $.'. and already
he has sold $IK worth of hogs. The
hoy won a prize of $10 for the bent
decorated vehicle In the corn and pig
club parade at the Cotton Palace In
1913 and with half of this amount he
purchased n pig and started a little
swine business all his own.
It has required no special talent on
this boy's part to succeed. He has
Wen economical Industrious and
wideawake watching his chances at
tmiylng plus as well as In selling the
grown hogs. He has attended to busi-
ness while other boys have loitered
and has made more clear money off
his hogs In the little more than a year
that lie has been In that business than
many adult fanners have made from
their whole crop.
There nre hundreds of other beys
In the county who can do Just as well
as Vernon (Jullli.m has done If they
will try. And the chance for a trial
under favorable circumstances was
never so good as today whin the
business men of the city are willing
to provide the pigs and give the boys
until fall to pay for them. Waco
News.
What is true of the boys of Mcl.en
nan County is true of the boys of Rra-
ros County and the men. too for that
matter. Our farmers can raise hogs
for their own meat and hogs to sell
If they only make the effort. Making
the start Is the great obstacle to be
overcome.
There Is opposition to the Fergu-
son land rent scheme in the Legis-
lature and a minority report on the
bill has been tiled. A warm fight Is
expected. There are some who do
not believe there should be a statute
binding the whole land rental scheme
of Texas to the "third and fourth"
Jdan. There are also some who be-
lieve If the State has a right to under-
take to regulate farm land rentals it
idiould also regulate- residence and
business house rentals In cities.
They are trying to repeal the Rob-
ertson Insurance law using as an
argument that it will enable us to get
cheaper money In Tonus. That Is
almply claptrap to catch the unwary.
If any cheap money is offered Texas
you can be: your life It will be taken
by the money lenders and reloancd
to the farmers and those who need It
at the same old ten per cent with a
mortgage on everything the borrower
lias not even excepting his Immortal
soul.
The inauguration of electric serv-
ice between Ilryun and the A. & M.
College Is one of the greatest epochs
In the history of the city. Aside from
the convenience to the people of the
two places the proposition carries
possibilities yet undreamed of in the
matter of stimulating trade and de-
veloping business. This road will he
a great factor in the work of develop-
ing Aryan Into a city.

Wilson's right hand man and who suc-

which says he goes as the unofficial
representative of President Wilson
in an effort to bring about peace in
Europe.
Colonel George Bailey of the Hous-

That "look" Is due to the design; and It's a

FIFTY-THREE FRIDAYS IN 1915.
From a perusal of our exchanges
and the almanac we have learned this
week that there will be fifty-three
Fridays in this year and that there
w 111 be no full moon In February. The
last time the moon missed getting full!
In February was In IStlfi nnd It will J
no: miss again In 2.'irtnlinn years. Th"
moon will make up for its abstinence
in February by getting full twice In
January and March. Those who be-

STATEMENT FROM
E. D.
; Gives Position of A. & M. Board on
Relation of the A. & M. College
and the State University.
Dr. W. V. Ulzzell president of the
A. & M. College Saturday received
the following letter from K. 1). Cush-
lng of Houston president of the board
of directors and which explains the
attitude of the A. & M. board with
reference to the relation of the Uni-
versity of Texas and tho Agricultural
and Mechanical College:
To the People of Texas:
In view of the fad that the board
of regents of the I'nlverslty of Texus
has caused to be published uu address
of the retired president of the I'ul-
j verslty to the board of regents who
milling other things advocated the
consolidation of (lie I'nlverslty and
the Agricultural ami Mechauim! Col-
li -e under one board of dire. tors
compels the hoard of directors of the
Agrii ulluia! and Mei lianb nl Coilcuc
to present to the people of Texas u
brief history of the ingot lat Ion be-
te u the respective hoards r gurd-
lug the relations of the two si bonis
and to present further some reasons
' against the proposed plan.
Whatever differences may have ex
isted between tho two Institutions
they were composed and harmonized
by two separate agreements between
the two boards for two sessions of
the Legislature preceding the present
one nnd the Agricultural and Mechan-
ical College board wishes to show nt
the present time by the following
statements that It Is entirely disposed
to harmonize the actual or Imaginary
dllTereiices that li. ay now exist. The
board of directors of tlie Agricultural
and Mechanical Colleue believes that
the one -board plan as provided In the
Tillotson bill would result In the i or.-
soliilatii n of the rnlvei'iity and the
Agricultural and Mc lumb al Coiie:-"
and ultimately lead to the ahsorptio'i
( f til- Acricultur il and Mechatib a!
College or an Impairment of Its ef-
fi ieiicy.
Some Facts of History.
The board of regents of the Uni-
versity and the board of dire tors of
tlie Agricultural and Mechanhal Col-
j lege at Joint meetings have entered
i Into two definite agreements provld-
- Ing for the separation of the two in-
I stitutions. tlie last agreement having
i been entered into on January '.. 1!1 ".
j which also provided for tlie division
I of the University lands and cntlow-
' tnents. On November 21 1 !!.'!. the
i board fif regents of the University
sen: a formal Invitation to the hoard
of directors of the Agricultural and
I Mechanical College requesting that
the two boards Join in some plan to
have the Legislature submit a con-
stitutional amendment providing for
the complete separation o' the two In-
stitutions. It seems therefore tlm
i the governing boards of both inst'hi
I Hons are committed to the definite
principle of separation as the niosi
j desirable method of settling the dif-
ferences of the two Institutions.
I The Democratic platform In two re-
'cent platforms Is coin nrt ted to tlie
I complete reparation of til" Universit'.1
j of Texas nnd the Agricultural and
j Mechanical College. The Deinoi rati:'
platform adopted at Galveston In
I August pilO contained the follow-
j Ing: "Provision should be made for
the separation of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College from the Univer-
sity of Texas;" and the Democratic
platform adopted at San Antonio in
August 1!il2. reaffirmed tills provi-
sion of the permanent platform In the
following words: "We relterato the
demand made In the Stale Democratic
platform In 1 : 1 0 that the Legislature
propose and submit an amendment
to Rection 11 of article 10 of the con-
stitution providing for tlie complete
divorcement of the University and the
Agricultural nnd Mechanical College
nnd remove the inhibition against
making appropriations out of the gen-
eral revenue for the erection of build-
ings for the University hnd thnt a
just nnd equitable division of tlie per-
manent University fund be made be-
tween tlie University nnd Agricultur-
al and Mechanical College." The
Democratic platform adopted nt F.I
Paso last August did not expressly
declare for separation but it "de-
manded that the difference between
the Agricultural and Mechanical Col-
lege of Texas and tlie University be
fairly and equitably adjusted" etc.
That these pint form demands pro-
viding for separation reflect the
wishes of the people of Texas wns
clearly Indlcnted In the overwhelming
vote of the people ngnlnst consolida-
tion of the two institutions In the de-
fent of Joint resolution No. IS.
Separation of these two Institutions
hns heen urged by mnny of tho most
important organizations of the State.
The Farmers' Congress with Its
twenty-two affiliated organizations
composed of men engaged In every
kind of agricultural activities and the
IS
Furmors' Union State district and
county together with other farmers'
organizations of the State huve re-
peatedly urged and requested tho Leg-
islature to separate the two Institu-
tions. Tho board of directors of the
Agricultural and Mechanical College
does not desire nny conflict conten-
tion or strife nnd In order to remove
what Is said to be tho cnuse of strife
namely tho division of the University
permanent endowment fund between
the Agricultural and Mechanhal Col-
lege and University the college hero-
by doclnres Its willingness to recom-
mend that this matter bo relegated
to the Legislature or to a nonpartisan
commission to be provided for by the
Legislature nnd the hoard hereby ex-
presses Its willingness to cheerfully
accept and abide by any award
so made
We believe Hint the agricultural In-
terests arc of such Importance that
all agencies of Instruction should con-
tribute In every way to the promo-
tion of a knowledge of scientific agri-
culture. In the preparation of teach-
ers for agricultural schools It Is Im-
portant that the University the Agri-
cultural nnd Mechatib n College nnd
the normal si hools should piovhle
mlequa e Instruction and fin lllf I.-s for
teat 111 11 K this subject.
The hoard of directors of the Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College real-
Ize that the University lias been
greatly handicapped In Us develop-
inent by the constitutional prohibition
Hint prevents the appropriation of
funds by the Legislature for perma-
nent Improvement. We therefore
urgently recommend that this restric-
tion be removed In order that the
Legislature In Its good judgment may
provide for the building needs of the
University.
To merge tlie Institutions under one
board nnd one administration would
be to destroy the Institutional Identi-
ty which has exist."! for thirty eight
years and to minimize tlie Importance
of agriculture In a State wher" ngtl-
culture constitutes more than " per
lent of the State's productive Indus-
try. Tlie paramount Impx'tame of
agriculture in Tons is sufli l.-nt pa-
son for the malntt n.n.- of .. s'-Kir;i'e
rgrliultiir.il rnlleiie. and i vpi n 'in i s
In other States tirmlv .IciiioiiKtriil.-s
the wisdom of separate arrlciilinr.il
colleges.
Therefor". In view of the repealed
agreements and comiinmliatloiis 1 e-
tween tile board of retenls of the
University of Texas and the board of
directors of the Agricultural and
Mechanical College for separation In
view of repestcd declarations of Dem-
ocratic party platforms In this State
which represents the public opinion
of tills people in view of thf popular
election in I'.ilt: uneipiho. ally oppos-
ing a measure of consolidation in
view of the action of all conspicuous
nnd representative agricultural organ-
izations and in iew of the new nnd
similar responsibilities which have
been placed upon land grant colleges
under the Federal legislation known
as the Smith-Lever m t the directors
of tlie Agricultural nnd Mechanical
College believe that n measure
i onstitntional separation should
of
be
submitted at once :o tlie Judgment of
the people and that III no case should
the Legislature attempt to change the
historic policy of Texas in respect
to
these two Institutions w'thout the ex
pressed approval of the popular vote
