Old Captain Callahan. fat and con-

says Judge. He said:
"I had a time with them fine hens

last week. They belong to my wife

every night, the last time plumb to
the bone, but she’d git over the hen-
yard feme anyhow. With her dispo-
sition and character, there just simply
wasn't no ordinary way to keep her
from ruining flower beds.
“While my wife was gone to a mil-
linery opening I got to thinking about
my bachelor days when I used to keep
game cocks. I hunted up an old pair
of steel gaffs, or false spurs, which
you could, put on a young rooster so

masses of the building comprises a
base in which will be located the
great Washington Memorial Hall and
various Masonic rooms, and above this
base will rise a form of tower. One
of the most stately feature* will be
an imposing atrium, 70 feet

form the Memorial Hall, and in which
it is proposed to set a statue of
George Washington. This hall will be

high and surrounded by a number of
rooms devoted to Masonic interests,

lights will admit the light.

Between the hour that these words appear in print and
the corresponding hour tomorrow the fate of the Univer-
sity campus extension program will be decided. In the inter-
vening period of twenty-four hours the campaign to save
the unexpended appropriation for purchase of land for the
greater campus will reach its greatest intensity. That cam-
paign began Monday morning and must be concluded Tues-
day night. Handicapped by bad weather the committees
supplied by civic clubs and working under direction of a
Chamber of Commerce, central committee, could not strike
their full stride before Monday afternoon. And by Tuesday
afternoon, they will have so little time left that the issue of
' their efforts can be foreseen.
Therefore, success depends almost entirely upon the com-
munity spirit already exiating in Austin. The occasion for
raising a'contribution of perhaps $65,000 has suddenly arisen
and the question whether the sum required will be forth-
coming must be quickly answered.- There is not time for
much exhortation or much detailed explanation. A new com-
munity spirit can not be created in twenty-four hours, even
through such efforts as the indemnity bond committees are
putting forth. Either the spirit needed already exists, and
victory is certain, or the best efforts of the committees will
fail.
What failure to complete the extension program will mean
to the future of higher education in Texas can not be matter
of conjecture to anyone familiar with recent history. Agi-
tation for removal of the University from its present restricted
site would be revived, and our highest institution of learning
would again be made a political football With the completion
of the extension program, on the other hand, there can be no
excust for throwing the University back into politics. The
friends of that institution will be enabled to concentrate on
the advancement of learning, as is their desire, and as should •
be the earnest desire of all friends of education.
Bound up with the cause of education is the maintenance
of cordial co-operation between the State and its capital city.
The University is a strong tie between city and State and the
progress of both depends in no small degree upon its devel-
opment as outlined in the extension program.
