THE MEXICAN COMMISSARIAT.
It is predicted that the lack of food
will soon put an end to the revolution
in Mexico, but as a matter of fact it
appears that Mexican armies can get
along on less food than any fighting
force on earth. El Paso Times.
There'll be no lack of food nor short
age of commissary supplies in Mexico
as long as the water holes keep filled,
the grass remains green and the crops
of the mesquite and prickly pear
bushe3 produce their normal harvests.
San Antonio Uepublic.
Then there are the sotol and the
maguey and other desert plants, which
the Mexican well knows how to con
vert into either food or drink. The
war will never be ended by the siarva
tion process.
son, for political purposes, turned
loose on the people of his state vicious
negroes and hardened criminals, Col
quitt extends executive clemency only
to the deserving, and esieclally to the
young whom it is possible to reform.
There has not been a day since the
Mexican revolution began that the
resignation of Diaz would not have
brought peace to that unhappy coun
try. But his end is near, and that it
will be tragic there is little doubt.
Whatever it be, small pity Is due a
man who holds his personal ambition
above the happiness of his countrymen.
The dry-land farmers of the West
raise good crops with 12 to 20 inches
of rain. The fundamental nrinclnle nf
dry farming is keeping a crust from
forming on the surface by freauent
stirring. If a drouth should follow
the early rains, as is usual. Brazos
county farmers could use the same
method with advantage.

chines to cutitng the weeds along the
neglected streets and all owners who
have not done so should cut them on
their own premises; and if they don't
do so voluntarily they should be re-

There is no doubt that the a-fllest

the public to condemn them upon the
meager information that has been
given out. If they are guilty there is i
no punishment too severe for their j
atrocious crime, but they are entitled
to a fair trial.

a few months of being eighty years of
age. He was reared in Washington
county and came to Brazos county to
make it his permanent home In 18S0,
though he had spent much time here
while he' resided in Washington coun

the toldest native born Texan residing
in Brazos county, and was among the
oldest in the state.
He was a good man and Christian,
and a gentleman of the old Southern
type. True to himself, true to his
neighbors and friends, he possessed
the confidence, the love and 'esteem
of all in a marked degree. He was a

auspices of Kurten Lodge, A. F. &
