Now is the time for A. and M. men
everywhere to have a little chat with
prospective legislators, both senators
and representatives, with reference to
the needs of the A. and M. 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.

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.

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.

“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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
