College. Talk over with them the problems of the institution. The need for ade- quate maintenance, for dormitories, for a library, those are just three ‘pressing needs. Incidentally, you'll find him a willing listener. You have just a day or two in which to act. Do not wait. — ———— HONOR FOR AGGIE eli Another high honor has come to an A. and M. man. The election of Ar- thur P. Duggan, ’95, as president of the West Texas Chamber of Com- merce has been the cause of much gratification to all A. and M. men and more especially those men who roam- ed the campus with “A. P.” in those days of not-so-long-ago. Whenever an Aggie is honored the institution is honored. We feel confident that the West Texas Chamber of Commerce made no mistake in his selection and that the year of his administration will be one of the most productive of good in the history of that magnificent organiza- tion. tl pr— — When the Angel of Death lays his heavy hand upon an A. and M. man every man of us feels a personal loss. In the death of Dr. P. S. Tilson, of Houston, and A. Y. Shiels, of Dallas, the College has lost two of its finest sons; the Association has lost two honored members who always were ready to respond to every call for help made upon them; and thousands of A. and M. men mourn the passin of fine, true friends. FRED FURNEAUX CHOSEN MANAGER BIG COTTON FIRM W. F. “Fred” Furneaux, ’22, recent- ly was chosen as managcr of the Dal- las Cotten Factors, Inc., a firm doing business in the Cotton Exchange in Dallas. The firm is one of the larg- est of its kind in the state. Fur- neaux has been with them since he entered the cotton business several years ago and ¢lthcugh a young man he knows the business thoroughly. At any rate the directors thought so, and they are the ones who count. Furneaux was one of the pioneers in the polo field at A. and M., and a charter member of the cavalry. But the poor boy is still single. L. A. Leverett, C. E. 22, who has been wintering and summering in Sunny California, was a recent visitor on the campus. Leverett was at Port Arthur for a number of months with one of the refineries when he decided to try his luck in California. He is - located at 2525 East Thirty-seventh stweet, Los Angeles. * sk Xk Scott Alexander, Pat Hamilton, G. R. Warren, Dudley Everett and some of the other boys are making their plans to stage a big party for the Denton County A. and M. Club soon. Paul Huey, ’25, is out at Plainview teaching them better methods of farming and other things. made a big success during his year out there and they think well of him. He is living at the Ware Hotel. “wp” has TEXAS CITIZENS | COTTON CRUSHERS HIGHLY PRAISE 1926 LONGHORN Complimentary Copies to Outstanding Texans Brings Compliments to College and to Student Editors Copies of the 1926 Longhorn dis- tributed by President T. O. Walton among the outstanding friends of the College have prompted numerous let- ters of appreciation with reference to the receipt of that excellent year book. The Dallas News commented editor- ially upon the excellence of the vol- ume and from the brief history of the College featured in the Longhorn car- ried an extensive article dealing with the fifty years of this institution. EE I A few glimpses at some of the let- ters received by President Walton re- garding this book are given below: “I want to thank you for the beau- tiful book you sent me. It is one of the most exquisite works of this kind I ever saw, and A. and M. College as well as those who had active control of the work ought to be, and I am sure are very proud of it.”—Lieut. Gov. Barry Miller, Dallas. EE I “Today the Longhorn arrived, with much interest I examined and read it. All those who compiled it are to be congratulated; the book is a work of art and its pages seem to exhale the very atmosphere of the College. I am indeed grateful for having been remembered. I shall place it upon my living room table and show it with pride to all of my friends.”—Mrs. J. U. Fields, president Texas Federation of Woman’s Clubs. “] am impressed with the enormous amount of work incident to the publi- cation of a book like the Longhorn, and assuming that it is practically de- void of serious mistakes, heartiest congratulations should be given to those who are responsible for its con- struction. I do not think any one real- ly knows what a vast amount of work there is in the preparation of such a book unless he has had actual ex- perience.”—G. B. Dealey, president and general manager Dallas Morning News. kk ok “We have a very high appreciation for the splendid work done by A. and M. and I am pleased to advise that the numerous graduates from your insti- tution we have had in our employ have all proved entirely satisfactory. Whenever we want recruits we usual- ly prefer to take on A. and M. men. Thanks for the Longhorn.”—J. A. Wheeler, vice-president Texas Port- land Cement Co. ok A “The Longhorn is surely a pretty book and would do credit to any great institution in the world. I have ex- amined its pages with interest and marvel at such an achievement in a college publication.”—E. M. Waits, president Texas Christian University. These are just typical of a great number of letters which have come to President Walton’s office expressing appreciation for the book. ~<a al — “RED” REYNOLDS HAS 1009% MEMBERSHIP IN CHAMBER COMMERCE Up in Itasca “Little Red” Rey- nolds is Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce for that hustling little city. And not content with a “Good” membership the little Aggie set to work and made the whole town 100 per cent members of his organization. It is probably the only city in the State that can claim such an honor. With Heinie Weir school coach, and Fred Newport recently moved there this little city has three of the best of the young group of Aggies. C. D. EVANS, 99, IS CONSULTING ENGINEER OF SHREVEPORT No one would recognize in C. D. Evans, prominent consulting engi- neer of Shreveport today, the same “Jew” Evans, who back in 1899, on the A. and M. campus was a leader in a movement by the cadets that re- sulted in their being granted March 2nd. as a holiday each year. However, it is the same and only “Jew” Evans, and any of his old class-mates would recognize him in a minute. He is President of the Shreveport Engineer- ing Society and offices at 414 Levy Bldg. — Dr. R. L. Lewis, Liberty National Bank Building, Paris, is another Ag- gie who has made an outstanding suc- cess as a physician and surgeon. Dr. Lewis, a 1900 man, has a big follow- ing in Paris and with Dr. McCuiston operates a big sanitarium there. Dr. Lewis also is a ranchman owning a magnificent ranch the X T Bar Ranch near Antlers, Okla. It is one of the best organized and equipped ranches in Oklahoma. ~~ TAKE A. L. WARD FROM COLLEGE Popular Extension Specialist Goes to Dallas to Establish Service Bureau | For Wide-Awake Association. | A. and M. College loses another of its capable men this month with the resignation of A. L. Ward, ’10, from the Extension Service, to establish an educational feeding bureau for the Texas Cotton Seed Crushers’ Associa- tion. Ward has for the past ten years been swine specialist for the College and one of the leaders in that line in the Southwest. His new headquarters will be in the Santa Fe Building in Dallas. One of the principal objects of the service will be to make available to the average farmer as well as to the larger feeders of all classes of live- stock definite information regarding the best feeding practices. Ward car- ries to his new work years of real ex- perience in this field and the Cotton Crushers are elated over being able to secure his services. During his stay at College “A. L.” has been one of the regular and hard workers for the Association and in his travels over the state has always been ready to render whatever assis- tance he could for the “cause.” He leaves a host of friends here, but they and his many others over the state will rejoice in his new opportunity. The loss is the College’s and in a wider way, the state’s. The Dallas Aggies will find him a wheel-hores for work and a wonderful addition to their club. li] FRED NEWPORT, ’23, MOVES TO ITASCA TAKING CHARGE EXTENSIVE FARM INTERESTS The Extension Service of the Col- lege lost another of its stars recent- ly when commercial interests outbid them and secured the services of Fred C. Newport, 23, former county agent of Hill county. The Hooks Brothers of Itasca, owners and operators of large farms in that section secured Fred as their manager and he is mov- ing from Hillsboro to Itasca. The record of young Newport at Hillsboro was one of the best in the Extension Service. His new work is a big step upward for him, but the tragedy lies in the loss to the state that taking a man of his calibre out of public work entails. J. M. “Little Red” Reynolds and “Heinie” Weir, both 1922 grads are at Itasca also. SR DALLAS AGGIES HAVE SEVEN MEN WITH PERFECT RECORDS Joe R. John, ’10, Dave H. Levy, ’14, Dan Rugel, ’11, D. P. Richardson, | '23, W. T. Turner, 26, Joe Utay, ’08, and W. H. Waring, 25, are the Dal- las men who have not missed an Ag- gie luncheon this year. They are called the 100 per centers. In the race for attendance records the above are closely pressed by an- other group. The number shows the number of times they have missed; it is only when they have been out of town they have missed at all. C. M. Evans, 08 (1); J. G. Wallace, 24 (1); M. E. Rollins, "14 (1); O. C. Anderson 25 (2); N. M. McGinnis, ’08 (2); Ewing Mosely, "19 (3). These are real records and the Dallas Club can be proud of having members of that kind. J T. R. “Tommie” Black and C. E. Gatlin, both of the ’26 vintage are get- ting their mail at 912 Republic Bank Bldg., Dallas. However, we have been unable to find out just what they are doing. Both are hustlers, paid all their own way through school and can be depended on to be hard at work at something. * ok % R. H. “Chicken” Harrison and his wife spent a few weeks in Bryan this summer on their vacation. Chick fin- ished at A. and M. in 20, was with the State Veterinary Dept. for several years and then started in to school all over again, studying medicine at Baylor in Dallas. He will finish his work in two more years. * kx % W. E. Spake, ’15, is with the Sch- oellkopf Company of Dallas. Spake used to be a great athlete at A. and M. and is still as hot as a fire cracker on athletics. * * * Down in Houston politics are wax- ing hot with two Aggies making real races. Horace Soule, ’13, is running for reelection as county attorney and A. C. Stimson, ’14, is making a fast race for county surveyor. Both are getting whole-hearted support from their A. and M. friends. kk Sam B. Grissom, ’25, writes from Pittsburg, Kan., and wants to get The Aggie. Sam says its mighty lonesome up there with so few A. and M. men around. He is a special apprentice with the K. C. S. Ry., and lives at 1611 N. Joplin St. The Ft. Worth Aggies right now are in the middle of the hottest kind of a battle. They are divided into two teams and the idea is to get new members for the “Cat-Aggie” Club. W. 0. “War-tax” Jones, ’17, and J. F. B. “Sleep” Lyons, ’25, are captains of the opposing sides and the hair is flying fast. The losing team must entertain the whole Ft. Worth Club with a big picnic. The Panther Town boys are out to make the Dallas, Houston, Waco and San Antonio A. and M. Clubs take in their various signs and are already causing these others to sit up and take notice. AGGIE ENGINEERS REBUILDING LAREDO Clarence Jefferies says that the old Aggies are grabbing off all the con- struction work in the Laredo district. He and Will A Orth, ’13, are cooperat- ing in the construction of a two story office and store building being erected by the K. P. Lodge at Laredo. He says that Henry Zachry, 22, has just landed the contract for a two story administrative building for one of the city institutions. Clarence is getting ready to help his brother, Perry, who has just finished his high school work at Laredo, in his desire to come to A. and M. Sam L. Metcalf, ’17, is another Ag- gie who is a member of the National fighting forces. He has been in the Army since graduation in ’17, and is stationed at Georgia Tech, in Atlanta, at the present time. Back in ’16-16 “Red” was captain of old G 1st and had one of the best companies on the campus. He is married and has one child. % dk Wiley Lee “Fanny” Coleman, ’17, the lad with the “Golden Toe” is president and manager of the E. L. White & Co. of Fort Worth. “Fanny” will never be forgotten for the feat he pulled in the memorable game of ’15 when he kicked two perfect drop kicks to lead the Aggies to victory over a favored Longhorn eleven. “Fanny” has made as good in the world as he did on Aggie athletic fields. EE John Luker, ’17, is Purchasing Agent for the Texas Creamery Co. of Houston and is one of the best men at that businetss in the State. He is not only valued by his employers but those he buys from say he is all right and that means a lot. k kk Dr. A. C. Burns, ’06, was recently chosen president of the Cleburne Rotary Club. A. & M. men all over the State are becoming more and more active in Rotary work and or- ganization. Dr. Burns is an old-timer in Cleburne and one of that citys leading citizens. * dk ok R. C. “Army” Armstrong, ’25, has been down watching “Lefty” Mat- thews and Danny Clinton and some of the other boys run the little city of Eagle Lake. He says “Lefty” is doing mighty well in his farming ac- tivities and has no regrets that he gave up the national pastime to en- * kk Xk James C. Spalding, ’18, and C. L. Dowley, ’25, are another pair of Ag- gies in the banking business. Spalding is with the American Exchange Na- tional bank and Dowley is with the Liberty State Bank, both of Dallas. * * kk Saw Lee Hugon, 21, the other day. Lee was taking his wife into Dallas after a week with him on the road. Lee is with the Texas Power and Light Co., and has charge of con- struction of their high voltage lines. He is on the jump around north Tex- as most of the time. Rock. He Frank J. Cantwell, ex ’28, is in El Paso and says that he is enjoying his contacts with old aggies out there. Cantwell is located at 812 Mundy Avenue, El Paso, Texas. “Duty Dave” Williams, 26, christen- ed George Davis by his parents is in the Engineering department of the City of Ft. Worth. Dave was one of the real old standbys of the College and everyone hated to see him leave. He says he’s still single and working for once in his life. Dave lives at 1805 Sixth Ave., in the Panther City. * ¥ xk George K. Clement, ’23, is district manager of sales and engineering for the Southwest General Electric Co. in El Paso, having been with that or- ganization for the past five months. “G. K.” is married and has his of- fice at 617 First National Bank Bldg. * kx W. B. “Bebb” Francis, ’15, is a de- partment manager for Butler Bros., in Dallas, and was with us commence- ment. “Bebb” is remembered by hundreds of A. and M. men even be- fore his own time, as he was brought up on the campus and is a son of Mark “Doc” Francis, Dean of the School of Veterinary Medicine. S. A. Debnam, 26, has gone into the Extension Service and is the new county agent at Aspermont, for Stonewall county. That country out there is opening up fast and they like A. and M. men. * % Jack Turner, ’26, has taken charge of the livestock and breeding work on the Dr. Harris Farms near Fort Worth. Jack was another member of the International judging team last year. He and “Becky” Edwards, ’20, who is chief mogul of the Anoka Farms of Waukesha, Vis., have done a lot of work together. Incidentally, “Becky” is known as one of the best Shorthorn breeders in the whole coun- try. * kx * B. L. “Dough” Meece, ’12, writes the Houston Aggie that he is doing well up in the middle west where he moved some few months past. He makes his headquarters at Grand Island, Nebraska, and is selling pe- troleum products for the Quaker Pe- troleum company. W. H. “Rill” Caldwell, ’25, has mov- ed from Austin to Houston to further business of landscape architecture. Bill ought to make the Houston Club a real live member be- pursue his cause he was always a hard worker for the “Cause” while in school and also in Austin where he has been for the past year. * kk Dudley R. “Sky Jack” Carpenter, ’14, is with the Extension Service of the College and is¢ county agent of Van Zandt county with headquarters at Canton. This is one of the fastest progressing counties in the state in its development of its agricultural re- sources and this is the man who is the heart of the work. Carpenter has been there for the past three years. k kk Waid H. Dean, ’26, who is at 5018 Reiger Avenue, Dallas, writes that he shortly will take to the road. Dean is with the Western Union.
