Saturday en route to Bellville, where
he delivered au address on Wood-
craft upon the occasion of the in-

editor being at home sick failed to
meet him, to his great regret.

Mr. Will Lindsay has resigned
bis position at the Dixie saloon and
restaurant and has moved his family
to the Fist place South of the city,
where he will engage in farming the
present year.
It seems difficult to make the
planters of Washington county pro-
perly appreciate the value of the pea-
nut as a forage crop, hence but few
of our farmers are engaged in their
cultivation.
The city water works is installing
meters. This seems to be the only
solution of stopping the custom with
some of letting water waste until it
keeps the engine busy night and day
pumping water for domestic pui-
poses.

he was paid $42,00 in hard cash by
Mr. Look, which goes to show that
there is big money in raising hogs
in Washington County.

Captain Theo. Scbiimacber of the
Pioneer Signal Corps has a copy of
a letter, or rrquisitation, from tbe
adjutant general to tbe war depart
ment asking for a full equipment of
a field signal corps company. The
list which the adjutant general re
aommends is more than a page of
closely typewritten articles and in-
cludes two wire carts, with all ap-
pliances for laying telegraph wires
ten miles, signal rocket?, buzzers
and telsgraph instruments, a aignal
corps instrument, wagons, and one
signal corps field wireless telegraph
outfit, with gasoline engine to gen-
erate ourrent; eight sets of harness
for wagons, and /a complete cavalry
outfit, consisting of saddles, bridles
and blankets for the entire company.
All of this new equipment will be
of the latest and moat up-to-date
manufacture, and when received
Brenham Pioneer Signal Corps will
be the very beBt equipped company
west of the Mississippi.
Captain Schiriuacher deserves great
credit for bringing this branch of
tbe service to such a high standard.
He was the first captain of tbe corps
when itv.as organized, and after-
ward rose to the rank of major in
the Texas National Guard, but arked
for demotion when Captain Dunbar
Affleck moved to Houston, in order
to again direct the affairs of Pioneer
Signal Corps. This equipment will
be furnished the corps solely upon
its merits and tbe exceedingly tine

sold for eleven cents per pound

ton and seed per acre $34.19; to-

timated $4 per acre amounting

Very little cotton died on this
land, less than on other land
near by. The lime treated plat
and subsoiled plat produced some
very fine plants. My opinion is
that the subsoiled deep plowed
plat and plat treated to lime grew
the best plants. From my obser-
vation of this demonstration. I
have arrived at the following con
elusion: That any crop grown,
or anything done that will tend
to the upbuilding and bettering
the physical condition of the soil
will remedy the root rot to some
extent. Deep plowing, if done
properly, will also in counteract-
ing the bad effect of root rot.
The good cultivation has more
to do with making this success-
ful crop than any single thing in
my judgement.
This is a serious problem with
many farmres in central Texas,

Many Brenham Citizens Have Disroverea
It
Just what to do when the kidney b
are affected, is a question that con-
cerns both young and old. Weak
kidneys neglected in childhood lead
to life-long suffering. People of
advanced years, with leBB vitality,
suffer doubly. Ia youth or age,
languor, backache, urinary irregu-
larity, dizziness and nervousness
make life a burden.
There is one remedy that acts di-
rectly on the kidneys and cures
troubles. Doan's Kidney Pills owe
their world-wide fame to the fact
that they cute sick kidneys and cure
them permanently. Follow the ex-
ample of this Brenham citizen and
you will be convinced that this is
so.

says: •'! know of no kidney remedy
equal to Doan's Kidney Pills. As

perform their work properly, my
