ture of the fluid in the Bryant process
was 220 degrees F., and even a higher
temperature could have been secured,
albeit, naturally, the higher the tem
perature the more the oil in treatment
was topped. Hence 220 degrees F.
was considered by Mr. Bryant the
proper temperature, the nature of the
fluid treated being considered.”
FATHER OF EIGHTY-SEVEN.
The family record for longevity and
one that would immensely please
Theodore Roosevelt, has , not been
beaten since Robert Parr, the great-
grandson of the celebrated Thomas
Parr, died in 1717 at the age of 124
years. His father lived to celebrate
his 109th birthday, his grandfather
reached 113, while his great-grand
father was 162 at the time of his
death. If a longlived family of Wis
bech, named Stockdale, cannot in the
mere number of years compete with
the Parrs, it assuredly holds the
record for golden weddings, of which
five have been celebrated in the fami
ly within comparatively recent years
One of the most notable instances
of prolificness is that mentioned in
the Harleian Miscellany of a Scotch
weaver and his wife, who were the
proud parents of sixty-two children,
fifty of whom reached their majority.
Fortunately, four gentlemen in the
neighborhood each adopted ten chil
dren, the remainder being brought up
by their parents. Large as this family
was, its fame pales before that of a
Russian, one Ivan Wasilit, who was
the proud father of eighty-seven chil
dren. He was married twice. By his
first wife he had sixty-nine children,
in the following order: Four times
quadruplets at a birth, seven times
triplets and sixteen times twins. By
his second spouse he had twice trip
lets and six times twins.—Copied.
DIRECTOR YOUNGBLOOD GETS
HONORABLE MENTION.
We observe in the Chicago Daily
Tribune for November 6 an article
giving an interview with Director
Youngblood of the Texas Agricultural
Experiment Stations. In the interview
he tells of the success which the ex
periment stations and other agencies
for progress in the State are having
in persuading the farmers to abandon
the “one-crop” system and to diiver-
sify with cattle, Sudan grass and food
crops. The young farmers in particu
lar, he states, “are seeing the light.”

THE VERSION OF A
FARMERSVILLE EDITOR
Wednesday afternoon a big husky
looking bunch of high school boys
came here from Celeste to play foot
ball with the high school boys of this
place. The Celeste boys were quite a
good deal heavier than the locals and
wore a good deal more rigging tied
on their heads and faces, but it seem
ed that they were no more skilled in
the art of knocking down and drag
ging out than the Farmersville boys.
We do not know enough about the
game to write it up intelligently, but
the ramming and jamming of the two
teams proved interesting from start
to finish. They had the referee and
linemen, just as we read about in the
big games. Both teams would line up
on their all-fours with their noses to
gether; someone would yell “Seven
come eleven,” or something like that,
and the two teams would ram each
other. The man with the ball seemed
to be the one they had it in for, and
the whole bunch was trying to knock
his block off or do him some other
bodily harm. This ramming and
jamming would continue for fifteen
minutes and they would call it a quar
ter. Then they would all lie down
and pant like a drove of fox hounds
and get up and go at it again. This
procedure was kept up for an hour,
and then they. were all at about the
same place as when they started, so
the game was called a tie. Those
who know football and witnessed the
game pronounced it a fine exhibition.
It was said that the forward pass and
runs, line bucking and field kicking
were of very fine quality. We liked
the game and will see the next one
pulled off here.

H. Y. MOH SENDS MESSAGE.
We have received from Dean Kyle
a copy of a letter written to him by
H. Y. Moh, our popular Chinese
student of last year. The letter is
written from 84 Bubbling Well Road.
Shanghi, China, and contains an ac
count of his work since leaving here.
In it he states that he has been
busy organizing a cotton mill which
he intended to capitalize at $500,000,
but because of the European war he
has been forced to content himself
with taking charge of one under con
struction and worth only $300,000 and
being equipt with only 10,000 ring
spindles. But, he states, he hopes to
increase this to 25,000 ring spindles.
In connection with this mill he has
leased 60 acres of land for the grow
ing of cotton, and his brother has re
signed from the position of chief of
police, and the two have entered this
work to avoid politics. They are liv
ing in a three-storied house of West
ern style in company with their aged
mother.
Those of us who have the privilege
of knowing Hy Moh will always re
member him with pleasure because
of his genial nature and ready wit.
FIRST MEETING OF M. E. SOCIETY
The first meeting of the M. E. So
ciety was called to order by the presi
dent, F. A. Homann, on Friday night,
November 20. A very large percent
age of the M. E.’s were present,
which shows that the old pep is re
appearing in the department. After
the minutes had been read by the sec
retary, the society was addressed by
Prof. Fermier. The first part of his
talk was devoted to a description of
the meeting of the A. S. M. E., which
took place during the early part of
June in St. Paul. The next part was
on mechanical stokers for locomo
tives. This was well illustrated by
means of reflectoscope which the de
partment recently acquired. The so
ciety had the good fortune of having
as honorary guests a number of E.
E.’s who got out of their meeting in
time to hear Prof. Fermier’s talk on
stokers. After the lecture the society
attended to several business items.
The society then adjourned. A good
program has been announced for the
next meeting which will take place on
December 4.
