SAM PATRICIO COUNTY NEWS, SINTON, TEXAS. DECEMBER 31, 1925
AUSTIN COLLEGE STUDENT HERE
FOR CHRISTMAS
-33 New England Honor
^ to Jefferson Davis
ij Bowdoin college, situated in the vil- i
lage of Brunswick, Maine, in I8f>8 be-
M* stowed upon Jefferson Davis of Mis-
sissippi one of the college’s highest
I honors, an LL.D. degree. Davis was
soon to become President of the South- \
cj! ern Confederacy. Only six short years
XT I before Harriet Beecher Stowe, wife of
4J ! a Bowdoin professor, wrote her fa- !
U mous antislavery novel, “Uncle Tom's
j Cabin.’’ The only other Bowdoin j
| LL.D. in I8f>8 was conferred upon ;
vv Senator William Pitt Fessenden of
JT Maine, Davis’ opponent in Washington \
C? I on practically all political matters.
Jo, Why did Bowdoin college thus honor 1
W Davis? Was it because he was spend- greatest enrollment on record, a total
oft ing the summer in Maine and had won
many hearts by his personal charm?
ej i Was his degree, as contemporary lie-
Vy publican newspapers say, “an evidence
; of toadyism” or the result of wire-
pulling hy certain influential Dernn-
AK crats desirous of “promoting their
, own personal aims"? M as it through
«ft the influence of Davis’ friend, former
j President Franklin Pierce, a Bowdoin
r) alumnus, and that rc# Leonard Woods,
tt | president of Bowdoin, an abolitionist
4J ! sympathizer? Or was It because of
^: Davis’ really distinguished services as
eg*! United States senator and as former
xr I secretary of war? Was it, then, a
generous and nonpartisan tribute to
ability and national accomplishment?

Always Big Demand
for Fur of Ermine
One of the most prized of all furs
Is ermine. In reality the ermine be-
longs to the weasel family and very
strongly resembles the ordinary wea-
sel. Their habits are similar,
ermine is about eight inches from the j
tip of its nose to the tip of its tail, j
with the tail itself about three Inches ;
long. The end of the tail is a beau- .
tifui black in all seasons of the year.
In winter the ermine turns white, |
while common weasels remain at all
times a uniform reddish brown. The
beautiful contrast between the snowy
white coat of the ermine in winter
and the jet black of its tail Is what
makes the fur so valuable, says Milton
Wright in the Scientific American.
If you are well dressed in a new frock your
pleasure will be greater.

The Foundation *

TN many
JLtures stand on foundations that were plan-
ned by thei r architects to support the weight
of extra stories if the future’s need should
call for such additions. Their very existence
is proof of the vision of men who provided
for that which they could not definitely
foresee.
Similarly capable of meeting the future’s
needs was the foundation upon which the
Bell System has been reared. At a time
when a few miles was the greatest distance
over which man’s wire-borne voice might
travel, the telephone pioneers could not, of
course, foresee in detail the problems of in-
vention, manufacture,construction andoper-.
ation which future expansion mightinvolve.
They could, however, and did catch the
vision of a national growth which would ne-
cessitate a service continent-wide in scope.
They could and did provide the foundation
for a structure capable of growing with the
nation. The proof of thur vision lies in the
fact that America today has a nation-wide,
universal telephone service.
