the owners of the pens of fine fowls

they are not the possessors of just

CONTRIBUTION OF PORTUGAL
w ■ —
v>No more convincing proof could
^frell be afforded of the growing sta-
bility of the Portugese republic, and
the increaeing tlflity of the country,
than the part which Portugal is play-
ing in the present war. Although this
part is necessarily small, compared
with that which is being played by
the greater powers, nevertheless, in
proportion to her resources, it is very
remarkable. The speech recently de-
livered by the Portugese minister of
war, Senator Norton de Mattos, at
All the district fairs in this section
have made good and will do better
another year. They are learning more
and more how to manage them every
year. When communities like Preston
Bend and Gordonville, communities
that have not railway service, can get
up such splendid fairs as they did,
there is no reason why any community
cannot have a good fair. After all,
it’s the home resources that make the
fairs, and the resources of these com-
munities are extensive.
^ That terrible double tragedy at Fort
Worth Friday afternoon was a con-

orations on the western front, the
details which Senor Norton de Mattos
afforded are particularly interesting.
When Portugal decided to throw in
her lot with the allies, her army, as
Dir as effectiveness was concerned,
was almost non-existent. In spite of
this, Portugal has created a force of
130,000 men, of whom 40,000 are at
present in France. Some 20,000 men
are being trained in Portugal to com-
plete the two divisions at present on
the western front, whilst a reseiVe
force of 40,000 men also is being
trained and maintained. This, how-
ever, docs not exhaust Portugal’s ef-
forts. She has supplied workmen in
thousands to France to help in the
munition work, and has met all the
expenses of her military co-operation.
The Portugese war minister, more-
over, did not even mention another
v-fir in ;.-Mrh Portugal is helping to a
remarkable extent, and that is with
her naval forces. Before the war, the
Portugese navy consisted cf one
small battleship of the old pre-dread-
naught type, four cruisers, the most
modem of which was built in 1901, and
some fifteen other small craft, such
as- gunboats, destroyers, torpedo boats
and submarines. With an energy,
however, which might be expected of
a nation of sailors, the Portugese im-
mediately' settled down to remedy
their deficiencies in this respect, and
although information in regard to this
matter, as in regard to all naval mat-
ters, is very scanty, the censor has
allowed enough to come through, from
time to time, to indicate that, when
the history of the war comes to be
written, the most remarkable part of
the Portugese contribution will be that
made on the sea. It is an interesting
story of energy and resource, of the
equipment of patrol flotillas, of the
recruiting of mine sweepers frpm her
fishing Beets, and of the energetic
transformation of German ships, seiz-
ed last year, into auxiliary cruisers.
The proof which all this affords of a
growing national unity cannot be
gainsaid, and it is as welcome as it
is noteworthy.

pleasure in commending the efforts

It begins to look as if Abilene
would lose the A. & M. College
after all, as bills have been intro-
duced in the Legislature to re-
peal the laws creating the North-
west Texas Asylum, the West
Texas A. & M. College and the
Northeast Texas Junior A. & M.
College. While of course it is
not yet known what action will
be taken, we believe it will be
safe in assuming that the law
creating these institutions will be
repealed.—Honey Grove Citizen.

spiration to others of their race. This

At the conclusion of this terrific
gospel sermon, the altar was quickly
filled and many knelt at the front
pews anxiously seeking the Lord.
Quite a number found the Lord and

There will be no services this af-
ternoon. Mrs. Hudson will preach to-
night. Tomorrow will be the last day
of the revival. Rev. Aycock will
preach in the morning and at night.

sanctification. Everybody is invited.
