QUEEN OF EAST TEXAS CHAM-
BER OF COMMERCE TO BE
SELECTED AT BRYAN MAY 6
THE VOICE OF EDITORS
AROUND MADISON COUNTY
Bryan Weekly Eagle:
County Agent W. H. DuPuy and
J. N. Raney, secretary of the Mad-
isonville Chamber of Commerce, were
Bryan visitors Monday, having come
over to Brazos county in the interest
of more dairy cows for Madison coun-
ty.
Already Madison county has ob-
tained quite a lot of dairy stock
from Brazos county, and while this
speaks well for Brazos county, in a
way, yet is seems unwise for us to
dispose of our/dairy cattle just at a
time when we, ourselves, are trying
to start up some dairy interest.

Normangee Star:
The little groundhog must have
miscalculated. February was one of
the most disagreeable Februaries we
have ever seen. There were far more
days without sunshine than with.
With the beginning of March it would
have been expected that spring should
have put in some kind of appearance.
One or two dayB of bright sunshiny
weather, and then came Sunday with
little threat of rain. Saturday night
the thunder began to roll, and Sun-
day night it did rain, rain, rain. It
found the farmers in good shape to
begin farming. Comparatively little
land has been plowed, and with the
heavy rains it will still further delay
getting into the fields. Usually corn
is beginning to come up by this time,
the woods are green, and the air
fragrant with blooming flowers and
ehrubs. Not so this year. And yet,
this may turn out to be a fine crop
year, and we may have an abundance
of fruit. Who knows?

Jewett Messenger:
We have through the kindness of
Joe S. Weakley a sample of the bud-
ded pecans from the orchard of Mr.
Jas Flemming, of Middleton, the sam-
ple shows the native and the budded,
and native would bring about 8c per
pound on the market, while the budded
paper shell would bring 75c.' We do
not know how much acreage Mr.
Flemming has in his orchard, but we
do know the buds are extra fiae, and
ahow great enterprise on behalf of
this progressive citizen. Some day
we shall visit Mr. Flemming's orchard
and will tell you more about it.

Bryan, Texas.—Plans announced for
the selection of the Queen of East
Texas and her court of princesses
who will reign at the brilliant pageant
to be staged the night of May 6 as
the outstanding entertainment fea-
ture of the third annual conven-
tion of the East Texas Chamber of
Commerce, indicate a compelling
array of East Texas beauties will
lend their presence to the event.
Each county in the regional district
and supporting the organization will
be eligible to name a princess, E.
H. Austin, general chairman of the
convention committee, has announced.
There are sixty-seven such counties
in all and each is expected to select
a representative who will be known as
the princess of that county. From
these princesses, the Queen of East
Texas will be designated.
Selection of the queen will be on the
basis of the largest number of regis-
trations by counties in proportion
to population, D. L. Wilson, chairman
of the registration committee, has an-
nounced. That is , the county that
makes the highest registration record
in proportion to population, will be
accorded the right to name its prin-
cess as the Queen of East Texas.
Basis of population will be taken from
the 1920 Census.
Escorts for the various princesses
will be selected by regimental officers
of the A. (6 M. College of Texa# cadet
corps. Selection of the king will also
be made by the cadet officers.
W. C. Morris, Jr., Forreston, a
senior at the college, is chairman of
the A. & M. students committee.
Each of the sixty-seven counties
eligible to name a princess will be
invited to do so and early indications
are that most of them will be repre-
sented.
The pageant, plans for which call
for a spectacular event of much color
and variety, will be staged in the
athletic stadium at the college.
One of the largest crowds ever as-
sembled for one event in Texas is
expected for the third annual con-
vention, dates for which are May 5. 6
and 7, Mr. Austin, the general chair-
man, has announced. The advance
registration-campaign will get under
way in earnest throughout the terri-
torial region of the organization dur-
ing the coming week.
The tenative program, as announc-
ed, includes a variety of entertainment
features. Regimental dress parade of
the A. & M. College and Allen
Academy cadet corps, the pageant,
coronation dance for the Queen of
East Texas and her princesses, mass-
ed band concerts, baseball games
daily between the Texas Aggies and
the Texas Tech team and other events
are included on the program.
ROTARY AGAIN ATTACKED
BY VATICAN PAPERS
Rome, Italy—Although high circles
of the Vatican announced recently
that international Rotary would not
be denounced by the Holy See, the
newspaper Osservatore Romano,
which has close relations with the
Vatican, has renewed its attacks upon
that organization, according to Asso-
ciated Press dispatches.
The article, it was stated, was in
answer to one published in II Rotary,
Italian organ of the international
body. The newspaper said a Masonic
lodge recently was formed in London
made up entirely of Rotarians. This
alliance, it added, was deterimental to
the cause of the church in Mexico
and Latin-America..—Scottish Rite

Centerville in Leon County Is
Taking on a Seige of New Life
From The Jewett Messenger:
The sound of the hammer, the cry
of the saw, the stroke of the trowel,
the rake of the mortar hoe is more
prevalant in the old town than it has
been for thirty-six years. The old
town of Centerville, with her people
who have dreamed the dreams of Rip
Van Winkle, like the great giant that
lay dormant on the ground has ar-
roused from its slumber, and like
Rip Van Winkle found his gun stock,
they have found the foundation of the
old wooden buildings, with the roofs
caved in and the walls collapsed. They
are being torn away with feverish
zeal.
The thrifty and ever alert firm of
Cundiff & Sons broke the ice when
they announced the letting of a con-
tract for three new brick buildings on
the west side, and then the Center-
ville State Bank let a contract for a
two story brick along the side of the
Cundiff buildings; these buildings all
to be modern in -every way and will
certainly be a compliment to the
west side.
On the south side Rubin Bain is
erecting a new brick building to be
occupied by his drug store. Adjoin-
ing him Gilbert Gresham is putting
in brick fronts in the two frame
buildings which he owns. On the
corner T. A. Sullivan owns the two
brick buildings, we understand that
Mr. Sullivan is contemplating modern-
izing his buildings by putting in glass
fronts.
Gresham & Son, one of the oldest
general merchandise concerns in the
county, we understand, will own the
floor of his building on the corner
and put in concrete floor with plate
glass front.
All these buildings will be in every
way modern with concrete curbs.
On the northeast corner Mr. D.
Lynch owns and operates a garage
and power house. He has built a new
frame building that is to be occupied
by a barbershop.
On the northwest corner on the
hotel property, Grounds & Sons are
putting in a Lumber Yard. A full
stock of building materials will be
carried. This year promises more ac-
commodations to the Centerville peo-
ple and the surrounding country than
any other enterprise that has been
placed there in many years.
Across the town north and south
the streets are being broadened, the
fences moved back, the buildings be-
ing torn away. The friendly oaks
where our older man played their
marble games and our older women
spread their playhouses, the old oaks
that so long furnished shades for the
old cow and the razor back hogs
through the hot summer days are be-
ing rooted up by the contractors on
highway 75 which bursts the town
wide open.
The moonlight shades which have
slumbered for centuries along the
streets of the old town that dates
back as far as 1836, will forever be
disturbed with the roar of motor
vehicles at all hours night ^pd day,
silence and stillness is broken for
traffic from Canada to the Gulf over a
concrete slab, the only good thing
that has ever come Centerville's way.
The rush, progress, and prosperity is
at the door of Leon county. Let us
all get in the boat while she is yet
in the harbor.
These are a few things going
along in Centerville; there are others
that the writer would like to comment
on among which is the big thing the
court did in moving to employ a
county agent. To say the least they
are to be commended together with
Miss Mary Reed who was first to
sponsor the matter.

Your Druggist Since 1 886.
There are some wonderful Secre-
taries of Chamber of Commerce orga-
nizations all over Texas, good ones,
strong ones and high salaried ones,
loud ones and extensive ones in every
other respect, but we have our sincere
doubt if any of them can come up to
the notch which Secretary J. N. Raney
holds alongside of his job. Most all
C. of C. organizations are high-power-
ed in their belief and advocation of
pure-bred livestock, but Madisonville
has a Secretary who not only boosts
for that movement, but practices what
his organization preaches. Mr.
Raney is an authority on the dairy
industry and has gone into that busi-
ness on a very efficient scale. Some
few days ago he invested another
$450 in three more fine registered
Jersey cows which added to his form-
er herd, enriches his holdings wonder-
fully. We wonder how many C. of C.
Secretaries over this state can show
a like qualification to their vocation ?

J When Pasteur discovered, in 1852,
that the infection of wounds was
caused by malignant bacteria, he per-
formed a service of inestimable value
to mankind. Since then medical science
has been producing better and better
antiseptics, to kill these germs that
may enter the smallest cut and give us
diseases such as typhoid, tuberculosis
and lockjaw. Now, all you have to do to
be sure that these dreadful germs will
not infect a wound, is to wash'that
