Texas is a B
"There are only two things worth
mentioning in the whole world that
Texas does not contain and these are
the north and south poles. Texas oc-
cupies all the continent of North
America except the small parts set
asldo for the United States and Can-
ada and the rosctto of Latin America
to the south.
"Texas is bounded on the north by
20 or 80 states on the east by all the
oceans in the world except tho Pa-
cific on the south by the Gulf of
Mexico and Latin America and on
tho west by tho Pacific" ocean and the
rest of tho universe- Undor Texas is
a subterranean sea of natural gas
and pure petroleum. Above it is most
of the sky and the major constella
tions. If Texas were chopped off
from tho rest of the United States at
the Panhandle it would float out into
the ocean because under tho oil and
gas is a vast sea of fresh water.
"Texas is so big that tho sun in
five hundred million" years has never
been ablo to travel over it in less than
a day and when it has finished its
journey it is ready to sot. It is so
t'fg "that" the Brownsville peoplo caltrthey cannot sleep at night. The map

zona of El Paso look on Texarkana a.
the East. It is 150 miles further
from El Paso to Texarkana than it is
from Chicago to New York City.
Fort Worth is nearer to Minneapolis
than it is to Brownsville. Unless your
front gate is at least eighteen miles
from your front door you do not be-
long in good society as constituted in
Texas. Mrs. King's gate is 150 miles
from her front door and she is think-
ing of moving her house back so as
not to bo annoyed by passing automo-
biles. Some Texas landlords have

THE LOVE STORY
"Why don't you write a tale of love?"
Someone said to me
And make the story beautiful
As only love can bo?
A story full of high romance
That thrills with cheer and light
Tho old old fashioned sort of talc
Our fathers used to write?
Quoth I "I'd like to do it
But I'd never get it done
I'm so completely occupied
Each day in living one
And I would rather live my love
Than write it any day
For life is mightier than the pen
What o'er the critics say."

terest will rise as the time for the
games draws nearer.

RESERVES ARE VICTORS
OVER HASKELL HI
THURSDAY '
The A. C. C. reserves clashed with
the Haskell High team at Haskell
last Thursday and the Wildcats loft
the field with a 14-0 victory to their
credit.
The Reserves made over COO yards
while Haskell made only 125 yards.
Tho Wildcat team also led in first
downs making sixteen to Haskell's
six.
It was tho Wildcat's gamo from
whlstlo to whistle and still tho score
does not indicate tho rotative merit
of the two teams. The Reserves
sc6rcd three other touchdowns but
those failed to count as they wero
offside.
Chcoves Beasley Stovens and
Banks ropcatcdly mado long gains for
A. C. C. Tho entire line showed up
well on defense.
The following men constituted the
Wildcat roster: Cheoves Boasly

man Cotman McCollum Trusslo
Brown Wortham and Rogers.
Dalton Hill coached tho Reserves.
