What is color? Why are j
many men, with sight perfect j gradually,
otherwise, unable to distin-
guish red from blue? Why is a
color-blind woman unknown?
How do you explain the extra-
ordinary fact that many wom-
en, absolutely blind, can dis-
tinguish colors by feeling; for
instance, colors of yarns that

Hundreds of farm boys and
girls from many counties in
Texas each year are sent by
various local interests to the
summer short course for fann-
ers at Texas Agricultural and
Mechanical College. Some-
times these parties from a
single county will number as
high as oue hundred.
A delegation of about that
number, for example, will at-
tend the short course this
year from Angelina county,
according to advices received
from the Lufkin Chamber of
Commerce. But what is more

“glorifying the

“modestly dress-

type that looks half starved as

That’s good news for^ the
tired business man who sits in

Mr. Sam Wing, accomplish-
ed gunman of the On Leon
Tong went to the electric chair
but first gave orders for burial
services, both Chinese and
Christian. He was never *
Christian, but told his friends
that the electric chair being
unknown to Chinese gods,
they might have no provision
for a corpse from that source.
Christians having invested
the electric chair, doubtless
have a God .that would know
what to do with the remains,
so the thoughtful Chinese de-
cided oo both religions for the
funeral service.
We spend our lives watch-
ing men and women passing
through a door labeled
“Death,” and we all have
theories, but nobody apart
from faith, has ar.y knowledge
of what is on the other side of
the door. By and by our time
comes, and we go, then we
know—perhaps.
Sir Alfred Mor.d tells Bri-
solely of boys, will come to
Galveston for a four-day
camp on east beach after the
short course is over. They
will be here from Aug. 8 to
Aug. 11. under the supervi-
sion of O. C. Lagrone, county
agent.
Galveston interests, it would
seem, could easily capitalize
this idea by inviting groups
from other counties to come
here after these summer short
courses. College Station is not
so very distant from Galves-
ton, and undoubtedly favor-
able rates could be arranged
with the railroads.
County club boys and girls
of Giiveston county annually
come here for a week’s sum-
mer encampment, and by a lit-
tle effort it would seem that
Galveston could be made the
summer mecca for nrany
groups of boys and girls from
the rural districts of the state,
possibly from all counties
sending delegations of any
size to A. and M.
If arrangements could be
made for taking core of from
five hundred to a thousand of
these county boys and girl*
each year, immediately fol-
lowing the encampment, the
benefits to Galveston from an
advertising standpoint, if
-nothing else, would be enor-
mous. For the rural districts
of the state, if reached as they
would be through these boys
and girls, would be a profi-
table source of tourist revenue.
The benefits derived would
be mutual. That is a fact
which was ably demonstrated
yesterday. A chaperoned
party of girls and boys, num-
bering two hundred, spent
yesterday here. ’They were
from Shelby county, the trip
being sponsored by the county
clubs. The chief regret of
the whole party was, accord-
ing to those in charge, that
they hadn’t arranged to stay
several days in Galveston,
they found it so delightful
here.—Galveston News.

It is pitiful to see how light-
ly the young some time appre-
ciate true friendship, and
carelessly cast it aside as
valueless. Friends are a nec-
essaiy asset, more especially
to the young man or woman
just beginning the battle to
win a place in the world.
Without friends there can be
no real success, and true
friends are too rare to even
sacrifice one.—Fairfield Re-
corder.

that a lot of people who hurry
