' Elsewhere In this paper Is an Inter-
esting story reprinted from our neigh
bor of Navasota. We suspect that the
true reason for putting the blame on
the widows Is the same in this case as
it was in that of old Adam masculine
cussedness. If the bachelors and wid-
owers of Navusota were worth a cent
they would solve the problem by mar
rying those rich widows. If there are
not enough eligibles to go round
Bryan can make up the deficiency
Our Commercial Club is ready to take

(s& difference has arisen between
William J. Bryan and Champ Clark
who have heretofore always pulled to-
gether. Bryan insists on free wool
while Clark favors a duty of five cents
a pound. Mr. Bryan has Indicated that
the speaker of the house was his first
choice for the presidency and the poli-
ticians are anxious to know whether
this disagreement will cause a trans-
fer of his influence to some other candidate.

Unsupported assertions should have
no influence. Those who make them
are unfair and unjust. To be unfair

so-called arguments on both sides in

next world with them.
With all due respect to everybody
this Is exactly the solution to our stag
nation. At tlie same time no one can
blame the widows who have been left
with some cash and large family cares
for being suspicious and wary. We are
unable to suggest n way out of such
a difficulty unless the ladles can be
interested to the extent of personal
investigation and study of t lie situa-
tion which confronts us. Where they
understand business dealings it is not
at all hard to persuade them to make
an Investment and it is just possible
that they have not been proiieriy in-
vited to make investigations.
It certainly ought not to be hard for
them to understand the Idea that pub
lic Improvements are the very life of
every town and what Is good for one
is good for the whole. We believe if
the right sort of committee composed
of business men of unquestioned in-
tegrity could be Induced to call upon
the ladies and offer explanation along
the line suggested nbove that very
little trouble would be exiKriencod in
getting their assistance. But this ad-
vice must come from men who are
known to have made a success of their
own business. No man will listen to
suggestions from the fellow who has
made no more of a success in life
than he nor is it reasonable to sup
pose that a woman will. They are
usually cautious in money matters and
investments and very sensibly so.
One thing is certain the ladies of
Navasota who hold fat purses can
vastly Increase their holdings by in-
vestments projierly placed and when
ever the town prospers and improves
their interests will naturally Increase
likewise. They are really standing In
their own light when they fail to ap
predate this fact.
As for those men of the city who
are known to always turn a deaf ear
when public improvements are at
tempted the writer pleads inability to
cope with the situation. All that can
lie expected in that direction is that
the poor fellows may some day be
called hence and their holdings left
in the hands of more public spirited
citizens.
An even dozen will exhaust the real
Iv live men of Navasota those who
are always willing to go down into
their pockets and contribute to those
matters of public interest. It. is
shame but it is a fact nevertheless
If Navasota was not naturally one of
the best towns in Texas she could not
have prospered under such a load.

CONTRIBUTED BY COMMERCIAL
SECRETARIES' ASSOCIATION
For the purpose of encouraging both
the hog and the corn club boys in Col
lin county the McKinney Commercial
Club has decided to hold monthly
meetings for the boys of the vounty
the day to be known as "Hog and
Hominy Day." It is estimated that
over five hundred youthful farmers of
Collin county will attend the first
meeting. Greased pig races sack
races and other forms of amusement
will be provided and in addition a
brass band in full uniform will play
popular airs on the courthouse lawn
and a gala time is expected. The boys'
on club and hog club movement
throughout the state is becoming more
prominent every day and commercial
lubs are endeavoring to encourage
these lines of industry by offering
prizes giving entertainments etc. for
the boys of the rural districts.
Mr. J. B. Werlinsky of Houston who
has a sixty-acre suburban garden re-
ports a yield of $200 per acre from his
land. Mr. Werlinsky has set out on
his farm 10000 cabbage plants to t he
acre and the cabbage are selling at
$1 per hundredweight or one cent
per pound. He estimates a profit of
more than 150 per cent on his invest
ment. Mr. Werlinsky is a Houston
business man being president of the
United Woolen Mills Company but re
sides on his suburban garden. Ho is
comparatively new in the farming
business but by using advanced meth
ods of cultivation and applying the
ime intelligence to his farming that
he does to his business in the city he
is getting excellent results from his
investment.
Good roads mean the economical
transportation of marketable products

mum cost.
extension. Every important business
.interest In the city was represented.
The meeting was called to order at
10:15 o'clock by President Mclnnis of
the Commercial Club who stated the
object and presided during the pro-
ceedings. In response to an invitation Mr. O.
K. Ganimil tersely stated two proposi-
tions: First to extend the line from
its present terminus on South Hegent
street westward on Anderson street to
the edge of t lie Houston & Texas Cen
tral right-of-way; thence along the line
between the right-of-way and Regent
street to Caldwell street; thence on
Caldwell street to Robinson street;
thence on Robinson street to I'rsuline
avenue; thence on I'rsuline avenue to
a terminus at Villa .Maria Academy.
The second proposition was to cross
the Houston & Texas Central track
on Anderson street turn north on
Main street and stop at. a terminus at
the north end without recrossing the
railroad. Mr. Gammll very emphatic
ally expressed a preference for the
fir-it proposition.
In order to bring t he business proii-
eriy before the meeting Capt. O. 15.
Saunders moved t ho adoption of the
first proposition the motion also in-
cluding tho release or Mr. (laniniil
from the obligation to build the line
on Main street at this time. The mo-
tion being secomlcd the chair an-
nounced the subject open for discus-
sion. The discussion proved to be all
on the affirmative side. Prof. R. O.
Allen made an interesting talk set-
ting forth the advantages (lie exten-
sion would bring to Allen Academy.
When all who had anything to say
had spoken a vote was taken and it
was unanimous in favor of the motion
to adopt the first proposition.
Mr. Ganimil has already received an
outfit of mules scrapers etc. from
his grading camp in Louisiana and
work on I he extension will begin
soon as the necessary preliminary
preparations can bo made.
It is gratifying to be assured that
since the facts are all known there is
no difference of opinion as to the wis-
dom of the decision of the question
upon which there was such a diversity
of views a few days ago. It is because
the business men of Bryan are rea-
sonable and want only what is for the
common good of all.

ROAD DRAG GROWING IN FAVOR.
.. . f . . .
A movement is on foot over in Na-
varro county to have t ho individual
farmers provide themselves with split
log drags and keep their sections of
road dragged. This very thing has
iwen done in many sections of the
country where the drag has made a
reputation. If such a plan could be
inaugurated in Anderson county we
would soon see very line roads. The
county commissioners are beginning
to think mighty well of the drags.

tells tills little story of one of her pu-
pils :
There had been an entertainment nt

The next day the little girl appeared
with the picture undi'r her arm. ulto
regretfully she laid It upon the teach-
