KEEP YOUR EYE ON THE BALL
FROM TAFT TRIBUNE
RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION OF A. &
M. STUDENT BODY.
BETTER AUTOMOBILES ABE BUILT, BUICK WILL BUILD THEM
Because the electric power industry
has had a tremendous job to perform,
namely, furnish power and light to the
most progressive country on the globe,
it has had to grow rapidly. Little
companies could not have furnished
such a service and kept ahead of the
reduced

College Station, Texas, Nov. 26—
Religious census of the student body
of the A. & M. College of Texas
shows the Methodists lead with 718,
the Baptists next with 588, and the
Presbyterians third with 261.
This census, which is made annual-
ly by the college Y. M. C. A., is be-
gun at the opening of the college year,
each student being asked to indicate
his religious affiliation or preference.
This year’s census was as follows:
Methodist, 718; Baptist, 588; Presby-
terian, 261; Christian, 153; Episcopal,
144; Catholic, 129; Church of Christ,
73; Lutheran, 39; Jewish, 15; Moham-
medan, 4; Evangelical, 2, and Unita-
rian, 1.
In addition to regular Sunday morn-
ing convocation services for the entire
student body conducted in Guion Hall,
the college auditorium under the aus-
pices of the college, religious services
are conducted on or near the campus
by the following groups: Methodist,
Baptist, Presbyterian, Christian, Cath-
olic, Episcopal, Jewish, Church of
Christ, Lutheran.
The religious census given shows a
total of 2151 students with religious
affiliation or preference out of a total
enrollment of around 2400. Students
who reside on the campus number in
excess of 2100, the remainder being
day students.
demand at a continuously
rate to the customer.
The result is that the baneful eye
of socialism is now focused on elec- j
trie power development—it has been
successful, it has furnished unparal-
leled service, it has been able to pay
a fair return to its stockholders, it has
paid hundreds of millions in taxes to
the government, therefore, according
to the advocates of government own-
ership. it should be destroyed as a pri-
vate institution and turned into a tax-
exempt, bureacratie department of
government.
The electric companies and the in-
vestors in the power industry would
naturally suffer under such a pro-
gram, but the great point to be re-
membered is this, while the fight for
public ownership is temporarily di-
rected against the power industry, if
it can be taken over and placed under
political control, the pressure of poli-
tics will then become_ greater to take
over other lines of industry.
An attempt is really being made to
change the very foundation structure
of our government. The public should
not be blinded by the cry that the
present drive of socialism is to de-
stroy the power trust, for there can
be no power trustVunder our laws—
the real drive is to destroy the right
to private ownership of industry—not
all at once, but slowly, piece by piece.
Let government govern, and not en-
ter into competition with its privafte
citizens and industries
Mexican Presbyterian Church is Under
Way
Construction work was started Mon-j
day morning on the new Mexican \
Presbyterian church located just south I
of the Peoples Gin, with Dr. Skinner
of Kingsville, supervising the con-
struction.
Cruz Granada is the party respon-
sible for the church being erected. He
is working as a tailor for the Hub Tail-
or Shop and in his spare hours has
been devoting his time to the work of
the church. He is also originator of
the first Mexican Presbyterian church
in TafP and deserves much credit on
the part of the church and in helping
the poor Mexican boys of Taft to en-
ter the Tex.-Mex. school in Kingsville.

Tsesmelis Operates Dairy Near Sinton
Gust Tsesmelis, proprietor of the
Faust Cafe in Sinton, is not only op-
erating a popular cafe, but is some-
what of an agriculturist as well, or
perhaps we* should say dairyman. A
.year or two ago Mr. Tsesmelis pur-
chased what was known as the Chil-
tipin Ranch, two miles east of Sinton,
which consisted of 844 acres. There
was about 300 acres under cultivation
and the balance pasture.
A herd of Jersey cows was pur-
chased and placed on the ranch and
a first-class dairy put in operation.
There are now in the herd seventy-
five milk cows, twenty head of which
are registered and the balance high
