the contemplated improvements,
the costs thereof, and the service
thereunder, should be an actuality
before the application for the rate
increase is made.
5. However, if the company de
sires to present its application for
an increase in rates in its present
setup, then the machinery for the
hearing is this:
(a) The commission set down a
day for the hearing.
(b) The company desiring the
hearing, will have the burden of
presenting facts, which under the
contract, the Charter and the Law,
will warrant the Commission in
raising the rates.
(c) In doing this the Commis
sion will act as a finding board,
without the restriction of a court
of law, but will be governed by
the law applicable to such cases
and will make its findings and con
clusions on the evidence introduc
ed.
(d) At the hearing, it would
be lawful and proper for the com
pany to make an appraisal of its
property.
(e) After the City Commission
fixed the rates the company would
have the right of contesting same
in the District Court but the rates
fixed by the Commission would
stand until changed by the courts.
Rufus Peeples of Tehuacana, ex-
Aggie of ’27, made the placings in
the championship class of the con
test. Other judges in the show in
cluded Roy Snyder of the Exten
sion Service, horses; Jack Turner
of Silver Creek Farms, cattle; M.
G. Perkins of Caldwell, swine; and
J. P. Heath of Argyle, sheep.
All placings made by the judges
were upon the grooming which the
animal was shown to have received,
and the way the exhibitor handled
his animal while in the arena, not
upon the individual merits of the
animal itself.
Student officials of the show in
cluded James Grote, general super
intendent; Carl Martin, chairman
of the program committee; and
Bill Hofmann, O. D. Propps, J. K.
Barton and G. R. Pepper, superin
tendents of the various classes.

war. General Collins further
stressed the point by saying: “In
this day and age it is largely a
question of material rather than
man power in warfare.”
He then pointed out that the
current large-scale maneuvers are
a chief factor in national defense,
which represents another change
from previous tactics. “These

large-scale maneuvers are very im
portant, although the average lay
man doesn’t always realize this,”
he added.
The general then finished his
short but interesting address by
extending high praise to the Unit
ed States Army as it is constituted
today. “It is my sincere hope—
like every other American—that
this nation will never again be
plunged into war; but, if ever it
is, I feel certain that our nation
will remain the only nation never
to lose a war,” he concluded.
Throughout his address he was
in high praise of the work of the
R. O. T. C. as constituted at Texas
A. & M., and of the R. O. A.

ROY CONACHER
(No. 9),
HIGH-SCORING
FORWARD OF THE
BOSTON BRUINS,
WORLD
CHAMPIONS
of’39...
IN THIS ACTION SHOT he’s come in like a bullet from an express rifle... AGAIN a furious flash of speed...a split-second of stick magic...
he takes a pass. But the opposition’s defense stops him—this time. and the puck shoots home for the goal that wins the match.
His hockey’s fast
and hot!
BUT HE SMOKES A SLOW-
BURNING CIGARETTE FOR
MORE MILDNESS, COOLNESS,
AND FLAVOR
'Q PEED’S fine in hockey but not in cigarettes”—Roy,
O how right you are!
Research men may use fancier language—but they
say exactly the same thing about cigarettes.
Scientists know that nothing destroys a cigarette’s
delicate elements of fragrance and flavor so merci
lessly as—excess heat. And cigarettes that burn fast
also burn hot. Your own taste tells you that.
Slow-burning cigarettes don’t burn away these
precious natural elements of flavor and fragrance.
They’re milder, mellower, and —naturally—cooler!
And the slowest-burning cigarette of the 16 larg
est-selling brands tested was Camel! They burned
25% slower than the average of the 15 other of the
largest-selling brands tested. (See panel below, right.)
So...why not enjoy Camel’s extra mildness, cool
ness, fragrance, and flavor? ... And extra smoking
equal to 5 extra smokes per pack.
When it’s easy-chair time after that rough-and- tumble melee known as a hockey match, you’ll find Roy Conacher
of the Bruins enjoying a milder, cooler, more fragrant, and flavorful cigarette.. .Camels, of course.
FOR MILDNESS, COOLNESS, AND FLAVOR—
SLOW-BURNING
COSTLIER TOBACCOS
In recent laboratory tests,
CAMELS burned 25% slower
than the average of the 15
other of the largest-selling
brands tested — slower than
any of them. That means, on
the average, a smoking plus
equal to
5 EXTRA
SMOKES
PER
PACK!
