KKW YOUK, Oct. 2«.-~The base-
ball season of 1916, notable for the
number of unsuo.1 features in major
league pennant play, developed a num-
ber of t'amos tn which heavy hitting,
run scoring and base Mealing were
prominent features. A careful scru-
tiny of the box 'cores for the e.ntire
period discloses a cluster of odd rec-
ords that might al^o be termed freaks
of big league baseball play.
The American league statistics

league the highest at bats ranged
from forty-nine to sixty-two; runs ten
to thirteen; hit* fifteen to twenty-,

There are fire laddies and fire laddies, but It remained for the Gentry
Brothers Famous Shows, which exhibit In Temple Friday, Nov. J, at Adams
and Kighth street (old cotton yard), to organise the only efficient monkey
firo department in the world.
One reason why the Gentry monkey fire fighters are np to the mark is
duo to tho fact that they battle with real flames twice daily in the great
arena of the big top and everybody knows that constant practice makes lor
hitting with twenty, while the Detroit perfection.
Now, while the audiences roar with laughter at the monkey drivers, hose
men and norale men, the monks, themselves, are In deadly earnest about put-
ting out the blaze in the miniature building, which to the spectators is a cun-
ning structure of lath and paper mache. However, to the simians, it is tho
capitol building of monkeyland that Is threatened with destruction and they
mean to save it—and do.
The fact that the Gentry monkeys drive pony drawn fire engines, hose
carts and hook and ladder trucks around the hippodrome track in a mad dash
for the scene of the dally conflagration adds greatly to the appeal of this
one of the scores of the Gentry Brothers Show feature acts for this season.

inent of 107 deserving (students in the

tion to this, 22S odd Jobs were secured.
The total value of the wurk done by
these students was $11,938.40. Al-
though by far the majority of the Jobs
secured go through this bureau, these
figures by 110 means represent the
amount of money earned by students
while attending the university.
A large number of them are student
assistants win) secure their appoint-
ment after tho first year by reason of
excellence of the work done in the
year previous. There are also a great
many who secure work in tho city of
Austin who find out about It for
ithemselves and never apply to the X.
M. C. A. Tho figures on the employ-
ment bureau arc interesting lit that
they represent pretty fairly the
amount of assistance received nt tho
University of Texas by students who
come without means and entirely
without friends or Information con-
cerning tho conditions. "Waiting on
table" heads tho list, of Jobs, while
"choremen" comes second; "clerks,"
third, followed by "yard work,"
"bouse work," "cutting wood," "put-

sev 11 other young women In the de-
partment. Three young women, Miss

FLOWER BULBS
And Their Culture
Thin is tli*1 season to Plant Bulbs. Plant them now and Have Bloom-
ing Flowers in the Home all winter.
HOW TO PLANT Tliem is answered in tho advice given below. It
is from an experienced Florist and those who will follow the instruc-
tions may confidently expect Beautiful Blooming Plants.
CAUTION—Don't plant Inferior Bulbs. Bulbs are graded by the
raisers Into several classes—the lowest being practically worthless
and always disappointing. It is this class of bulbs which are sold
in carload lots to houses which are interested only in selling SOME-
THING CHEAP.
Buy the Bent Bulbs you can «et—the Reward is manyfold, in sure-
ness of blooming and in Perfection and Beauty of Bloom.
Read the instructions carefully—cut out and preserve for Future
guidance—then get High Grade Bulbs, in any of the kinds mentioned
from a RELIABLE FLORIST—if not from me then from some other
Reliable dealer. Don't buy DISCARDS at ANY Price.
To succeed with flower bulbs, tho first step one should take is to procure first-
class, and not cheap, undersized bulbs. We purchase our stock from the most relia-
ble growers In Europe, and wo offer only the choicest stock.
To those desiring to grow bulbs successfully, we wish to emphasize the fact
that autumn is the proper timo to plant spring flowering bulbs. Octobcr 1st to
January 1st is the best time for planting. Bullm inay be gruwn outdoors in bods, but
are usually cultured in flower pots; wine varieties can be grown successfully In water.
Tho secret of success Is to get a good root foundation on all bulbs; if the bulbs
nrn not rooted properly, weak foliage, and unsubstantial stems and small flowers
will be tho result.
When planting In pots, ample drainage should be provided to keep tbo soil from
becoming sour. Avoid using fresh animal manure. Narcissus bulbs especially dis-
like coming in contact with old or fresh manure. One can use rotted manure with
some other bulbs. A compost of two parts loam, one part sand and ono part rotted
manure makes an excellent mixture for growing tho majority of bulbs.
OiincKO Sacrel Lily
The Chinese Sacred I.ily Is a very popular variety for Indoor culture. Bulbs
may he grown In bowls with pebbles and water, and If desired can lie gTown suc-
cessfully iu pots, using the same culture us for the hyacinth. Each, 15 cents; 2 for
25 cents.
While Calla Lilly
Plant from Septi mher 1st to January 1st. A compost of two-thirds good loam
and one-third of well rotted cow manure, and a small quantity of rand to keep the
soil open. Is best. Flaco tho bulb In a six inch pot, providing for drainage. Tho
crown or sprout should be above the level of the soil. It is not necenenry to put the
bulbs in a dark c< liar, place only In a shaded position for about eii^ht weeks. Callus
succumb to frost, therefore should not be planted outdoors until danger of frost Is
over. They require au abundance of water while growing, keeping the saucer filled
with water will lessen tho labor. lOach, lie; 2 for 21 cents.
Crocus Bulbs
Crocus blossoms are of very high decorative value, either for planting in beds,
or l»irders; tiiey will grow In almost any kind of soil, but thrive best in a soil of light,
rich, sandy nature. Plant about eight to pot, one-half inch deep; place them in a
cellar, or cold frame, covering tho top witli ashes fo keep the moisture. When tho
roots almost fill tho pots, they can bo brought Indoors and placed where wanted to
bloom, l'cr dozen, 25 cents.
Dutch Hyacinths
Till# beautiful hyacinth can be successfully grown In pots Indoors, ami beda
outdoors, also iu hyacinth glass' s. For glass culture, wo trongly recommend tho first
size; for pot culture the first and second size in very good; for bed culture plant the
Kccoud size. Wo offer you only the best varieties, Including all colors anil shades.
OUTDOOlt CULTUUK: The hyacinth will grow In a well drained, sunny posi-
tion in almost any garden soil, but a light, rich soil suits it best. When tho soil is
light, plant six inches deep, and six to nine Inches apart for a rim id showy effect. If
tho soil Is of a heavy nature, plant only four inches deep. October to January first
is the best time for planting hyacinth*. When frosty weather approaches a four
inch covering of leaves, or straw should be provided for. After danger of frost the
covering should he removed, tho hyacinths then being ready for blooming.
I'oT CULTl'llH: Plant from October 1st to January 1st. A compost of two
parts loam, one part rotted cow manure, ami part leaf mould and sand is id>.al. ov
hulli fibre will answer nicely. See bulb fibre culture.
l'laco one bulb in a four or five inch pot, or three bulbs In a six or seven Inch
pot, or pun, letting the crown barely peep out. After giving a food watering, place
In a dark cool cellar for a period of not lewt than two months, or place in a cold frame
giving them a covering of three inches of straw on top of the pots and three Inches
of dirt on top of the straw for the same period as above. You can leave them there
longer IP desired, and if wanted to bloom at a certain time after two months, r> gulato
accordingly. l>y placing bulbs where they are wanted to bloom,
GI.AHS ('IT/rUliK: l'laco a first size hyacinth bulb in a glass with the bane of
the bulb barely touching the water, then put away In a dark cool closet, or cellar,
i.ntil the gltiMi is filled with roots, before bringing into the direct sunshine, A piece
of charcoal about an Inch III dianv t« r will purify the water.

You can also grow such bulba as the Nnivissus, Jonquils, and Chinese S. i iei]
