\ \ Che Daily Bulletin VOL. 1V COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 6, 1920 NUMBER 19 COMMERCIAL CLUB OPEN WORK BEGUN BY PLANT BAND LEADER SECURED LYCEUM COURSE OFFERS INDUSTRY COUNCIL FOR THE ENSUING YEAR MANY GOOD PROGRAMS FOR COLLEGE MEMBERS: PRESIDENT POINTS ouT MER- | ITS OF BRYAN AND BRAZOS COUNTY COMMERCIAL CLUB | President Bizzell issued the follow- ing statement today in which he urg- ed the campus people to join the Bryan and Brazos County Commer- | cial Association: “Every man connected with this college should identity himself as closely as possible with the commer- cial and religious interest of the community in which he lives. An un- usually large number of men have become identified with the college for the first time this fall and perhaps some are not aware of the mutual in- terest between Bryan and College. 1 sincerely hope every man connected with this institution will become a vital part of both communities. Gne of the effective ways of do- ing this is by joining the Bryan and | Brazos County Commercial Associa- | tion. This organization is compos-- |! ed of the leading business and pro-| fessional men of the two communi-| ties. The officers and executive board | of the Bryan and Brazecs County Commercial Association have re-|¢ sponded to every call for assistance | and cooperation that has been re-| quested of them. TI know of no town | in Texas where an institution of higher learning is located that mani- | fests so much interest and responds so liberally and cheerfully to every de-! mand made upon it in the interest of | the institution as Bryan. it seems, therefore, altogether wise | and just that men associated win | the college should show some infer- | es” in the commercial organization | that is doing so much for the institu- | tion with which we are identified. | Join the Commercial Club and culti- vate the acquaintanceship of the bus- iness men of Bryan. These men will | be glad to know you and it will be | worth vour while to know them.” — a SPECIAL PROGRAM FOR PICTURE SHOW TONIGHT The movie for tonight will be one| of Reynaud Plays ‘Merely Mary Ann” starring Shirley Mason, also an extra; “Treat ’Em Kind,” comedy all for 15c¢.| | Show starts at 6:30. el A The admission charges to the Ly-| ceum Course this year is very mod-, erate.

Daugherty discussed the economic feasibility of the mechanical cotton picker. ing definite was brought out along thic line, the result of the discussion being that, althought it has been proved that the mechanical picker does do the work of extracting cotton from the open bolls, it has not been perfected to the extent that it 1s adapted to fields of cotton in the verious sections of the state. In the fields where the machine has been good work has been done on calks of even heighth, and proror- | tiorate growth with as much as one- third of a bale open to the acre, but under other conditions the results ob- rained has not been satisfactory. It was brought out in the discussion. Mr.» Lancaster, rural organizer of ithe Extension Service talked of or- ¢anization work and the Farm Bu- reau movement. He is a new man with the Extension Service and also in Texas and gave his opinions as to how the organization work in other states could be accomplished in Tex- as. Following this program the com- mittee which was appointed last spring to work out recommendations concerning the report on plant path-, olcgy made by Dr. J. J. Taubenhaus, plant ‘pathologist of the Experiment Station, made its report. In his report Dr. Taubenhaus prov- 'ed from a scientific standpoint that | about one-seventh of the total pro- 4 | duction of crops in 1918 was destroy- | ed by disease. The committee made four tentative | recommendations for reducing plant diseases in Texas as follows: (1) Sérengthening the Division of Platt Pathology and Physiology the" Experiment Station, asking the legislature for more roney to en- large it from the present one man’ divicion to at-least three well train- ed investigators. (2) Close cooperation between the Plant Pathology Division of the Ex- i periment Station and that of .the Ex- tension diyi ision. (3) Cyeating a larger interest in! Plant Pathology in Texas this to be accompanied by: (a) Qffermg strcng courses in . plant gpathblogy and physiology to the "aguieultural students of A. &' M. (b) Hastening the solution of pressing problems in plant pathology | the Extension Service building. | Noth- ! the of | | GEORGE FAIRLEIGH, FORMER | ARMY OFFICER ASSUMED DUTIES YESTERDAY.

Evans, chairman of the Ly- ccum Committee of the Y. M. C. A. announces that an unusually good course will be provided this year. Mr. Evans is very enthusiastic over the selection of artists and programs for the course this winter. A series of high class programs will be given and the dates chosen make it possible for all connected with the college to cnjoy a variety of entertainment at a minimum cost. Among the numbers included is the Zedeler Symphonic Quintet, which comes October 16 and is composed of { a ceilist, pianist, two violinists and a soprano. These entertainers are well known as a company of brilliant ar- tists. They began their Texas tour in Sherman last week, where they played to a packed house, receiving constant calls for encores and special numbers by request. The second number will be given oy the Toots Paka Hawaiian troupe. In Hawaii they are known as the best Hawaiian troupe on the American stage. Toots Paka herself is, accord- ing to a leading New York dramatic crivie, “the queerest, oddest, most fascinating and most charming per- son ever interview.” The great num- ber of Victor records made by this troupe is sufficient proof of their great success. Toots Paka is doubt- less the leading Hawaiian on the American lyceum platform, and she and her five male associates will mect the demands of any crowd. The following number will be Bess Gearhart Morrison’s “Old Fashioned Girls.” These are four in number, charming and bewitching, Stepping out of the “Long. Ago” with their “Stories and Songs of the Sixties.” + An evening spent listening to their | entertainment will be long remem- i bered and cherished. = Music; vocal ard instrumental, and readings make i up their program. For the fourth number the young prima donna soprana, Miss Josephine Martino, will appear, with her assist- ing artists, Vitali Podolsky and Miss Josephine Brlougher, 2ecompanist. Miss Martino is a lyric soprana, and 1s a protege of Enrico Caruso. An original “Peppy Program” that pleases everybody characterizes the program. The Rondoliers, a group of five versatile entertainers, is composed of William Larson, who entertains with the violin and the | clarinet. Walter Reed, who is an ‘artist on the violin, cornet and saxo- phone, Mids Della Erickson, trom- bonist, pianist, soloist, saxophone ar- tist, Miss Gertrude Erickson, accom- plished on the cornet, saxophone and | piano, and Miss Emily McGregor, a | reader, pianist, and an artist on the saxophone.
