MAGICIAN BRUSH
PLEASES THE CORPS

tion of the methods by which they
were performed. Silver coins, eggs,
cards, cabbages, ducks, guinea pigs,
miscellaneous garments, and tape
jfwere produced in profusion from un
expected and mysterious sources.
On one occasion he departed from
that which is expected of a magician
to give a portion of his philosophy of
life, and later he paused to give some
startling facts concerning the results
from the use of alcohol, as shown by
science.
He succeeded in intensifying the
humor of many of his tricks by per
petrating them on persons in the au
dience. “Gudgeon” Saper and “Red
wing” Palmer were the victims in his
closing trick. He succeeded in en
ticing them on the stage and there had
them take part in a watch trick and a
card trick. Tho plainly embarrassed,
each of them kept his self-possession
and contributed no little to the humor
of the occasion now and then. Saper
even succeeded in getting off a joke
at the magician’s expense during the
performance.
The number was certainly the cause
of more incessant laughter than any
we have had this season.
NORTH TEXAS CLUB BANQUET.
The North Texas Club experienced
its first banquet last Saturday evening
in the Y. M. C. A. building. It is putting
it mildly to say that the banquet was a
great success; in fact, many of the
members exprest it as being the best
banquet of the kind they had ever at
tended. After the good things were
properly cared for, C. H. Savage did
credit to himself as toastmaster. Sev
eral things of real interest to the col
lege students were touched on by the
speakers of the evening.
This is just the beginning of a strong
North Texas Club, and every fellow
who is eligible should get in this club
and help boost A. & M. College in his
section of the State.

his B. S. degree in horticulture in
June, 1914.
Commissioner Davis has not yet an
nounced his appointment for the posi

stated that the selection would be
made from among this year’s gradu
ates of A. and M.
Dean Kyle is proud of Mr. Ayers and
the rapid progress he is making, and
says that the demand for A. and M.
graduates in agriculture is great. Only
last week he had the pleassure of mak
ing the following recommendations:
Application was received from By
ron Leaird, Gatesville, Texas, for an
experienced man to develop 60 acres
of Leon River land into a truck farm.
Mr. E. H. Leudtke, Goldthwaite, Texas,
was recommended for this position.
Application was received from Rev.
I. F. Betts, Jacksonville, Texas, for a
reliable man to manage a farm at
Newby, Texas. Mr.. J. C. McDowell
of Trinity, Texas, was recommended
for this position.
PROF. COGHAN TELLS OF INTER
ESTING TRIP TO SOUTH TEXAS.
I left College January 9th and went
to Del Rio, where I spent three days
inspecting the roads in Val Verde
County for the purpose of advising the
county court regarding the cost of im
proving same. In line with this work
we traveled over 300 miles by machine
over the roads, and owing to the fact
that the water in the Devils River was
high, we spent one night in the open,
with but one blanket for a cover, and
had it not been for a good fire that we
kept burning, things would have been
pretty chilly around the edges before
morning. The next day we ran the
car into some thirty inches of water
and were forced to wade out and then
hunt for a neighbor to get his teams
and rescue our car.
In spite of these handicaps we
made good progress with the work,
and incidentally had the opportunity
to eat all the quail we wanted, not to
mention a splendid dinner where the
main attraction was a brace of mal
lards.
From Del Rio I went to Shiner,
where the community has awakened
to the fact that good roads are a prime
necessity. The roads were surely in
bad shape, but those people do not
intend to stay in the mud, for at a
mass meeting attended by every voter
in the district that could get into it, a
motion was unanimously past request
ing the Commissioner’s Court of La
vaca County to call an election in the
Shiner district for a bond issue of
$250,000 for road purposes.
Mission was the next town on my
itinerary, and at that place the people
expect to build some twelve miles of
good stone macadam roads at a cost
of about $60,000. The soil in this part
of Texas is good for earth roads and
excellent results can be secured by the
use of the road drag.
After leaving Mission I made short
stops at Bourne, Kenedy, Southerland
Springs, LaVernier and Karnes City.
I did not finish my work near Kennedy,
and expect to go there again the com
ing week for a few days to inspect
their roads and to make several ad
dresses at road meetings in and near
that city.
T. C. U. FAVORABLY IMPREST.
The following extract is taken from
the report of the T. C. U. delegates to
the “Y” Convention, which report was
published in the Skiff:
Do you know what “A. and M. Col
lege” is, or do you only think you do?
jlf you have never been there, it is
very prqable that you only think you
do.
The Agricultural and Mechanical
College of Texas consists of 25 build
ings placed in an irregular but pictur
esque cluster about a 26th building,
which is in itself one of the finest and
costliest structures of its kind in the
South. About nine of these buildings
are dormitories, and in them “bunk”
about one thousand of the best-hearted
and liveliest bunch of “cadets” you
ever saw! There were delegates there
from Young Men’s Christian Associa
tions all over the State. And every
one exprest their great satisfaction
and gratitude in the whole-hearted,
generous maner in which the “A. and
M.” students cared for the visitors.
