A. & M. HOST IN SHORT COURSE
COLLEGE STATION, Texas, July
27.—With 2,000 farm people enrolled
Monday for the sixteenth annual far-
mers’ short course, the A. & M. Col-
lege of Texas is operating on an in-
structional program almost equal to
that of a regular winter term, except
in the grade of subject matter The
students resident here this week are
the non-resident student body of the
College all other weeks of the year,
- Most all of those here now are mem-
bers of the clubs organized and direct-
ed by the county farm and home
demonstration agents of the extension
service of the College, of which T. D.
Walton is the director. Mr. Walton
welcomed the group to the College
this morning when the whole assem-
bled in general convocation. He con-
gratulated and complimented them for
progressiveness in coming to the Col-
lege in search of knowledge to make
them more efficient in their farm en-
terprise and urged them to help in
placing the agricultural industry on a
plane of efficiency equal to thot held
by other branches of industry and
commerce by co-operatng closely with
the scientist.
Boys and Girls’ Work.
The willingness of the industrial
leader to enter partnership with the
scientist and employ his laboratory-
developed methods and formula is the
reason for the advanced position of the
industrial group over agriculture, he
said.
After the general meeting the men,
women, boys and grls were divided
into groups, according to the subjects
of their interest, and entered imme-
diately into a course of study in all
phases of agriculture and live stock
production.
Col Beardon shipped out some fat
cattle Monday night to the Ft. Worth
market. These cattle were in fine
shapeand should bring the top of the
market.
DII R. G. BOWERS ACCEPTS
CALL TO KENTUCKY CHURCH
Waco Times-Herald.
Dr. R. G. Bowers, for 12 years the
pastor of Columbus Avenue Baptist
church, submitted his resignation at
the Sunday morning church service.
This was done in order that Dr. Bow-
AGGIELAND ORCHESTRA
TO PLAY IN LAMPASAS
Arrangements are complete for the
music for the dances to be given on
Tuesday and Thursday nights of this
week as a part of the entertainments
in Lampasas during Fair Week. The
Aggieland Dance Orchestra has been
engaged for both dances and those in
ers might respond to a call from the \ attendance
Baptist church of Williamsburg, Ky.
Immediate action on the resignation
was asked by Dr, Bowers. Although
such action was deferred to a special
called, meeting of the church next
Wednesday night, Dr. Bowers said
that he had no doubt the resignation
would be accepted.
It is probable that a pulpit com-
mittee, to secure a new pastor, will be
appointed at that time.
Dr. Bowers declared Monday that
he intended to assume his duties with
the new congregation about August
23. He plans to close his work here
Augsut 9, and spend a week in Ar-
kansas before going to the new loca-
tion.
Williamsburg is a town of about
3000 people. The Baptist church is
one of the largest of that section, its
congregation numbering about 800.
A new edifice, costing $200,000, is be-
ing constructed at this time. The
church has been without a pastor
since January 1. Correspondence with
Dr. Bowers has been going on since
June 15.
Dr. Bowers was the pastor of Co-
lumbus Avenue church, serving there
from 1901, when the church was or-
ganized, until 1906. He has been with
the church six years, since 1919, the
last time.
Cumberland college, with an enroll-
ment of 500 or 600 young people, is
located at Williamsburg.
Mr.and Mrs. Geo. D. Zivley and two
sons, Charles and Lamar, are here
from Temple to attend the Fair and
are guests in the home of Mrs. C. N.
Witcher.
may be assured that the
music will be of the best. This orches-
tra is made up of eight students of
.the A. & M. College of Texas, who,
during the summer months, travel over
the United States, not only giving first
class music for dances in the larger
cities, but also boosting A. & M. Col-
lege everywhere they go. Very nat-
urally these young men will be made
to feel at home by the local A. & M.
boys.
The dances will be subscription af-
fairs and will be held at the Leroy
Opera house where there will be am-
ple room for all who desire to dance.
Arrangements are being perfected so
that the dancers will be able to keep
cool and the management is doing
everything to assure a good time for
all. So as to avoid any conflict with
the peifformances of the Old Spanish
Trail at the Fair Grounds, the dances
will not begin until nine-thirty p. m.
WOOL CLIP FOR 1925 SHOWS GAIN
Washington, D. C., July 27.—The
wool clip for this year was estimated
Monday by the Department of Agri-
culture at 249,885,000 pounds which is
11,350,000 pounds more than last year.
Sheep slaughter for the first six
months of 1925, the department said,
was somewhat larger than for the
same period in 1924, which indicates a
small increase in production of pulled
wool to date.
Dr. and Mrs. T. F. Sessions and
son, Fred, are visiting friends here
and will be guests in the homes of R.
S. Mills and W. B. Abney. They live
in Austin and Dr. Sessions is pastor of
the University Methodist church.
