INDICATIONS are that the Legislature
will be more than ordinarily careful in
the making of appropriations. The es-
innate of receipts and disbursements for
the years 1907 and 1908, as furnished to
the Legislature by Secretary of State
Frear, indicates balance of $4,000
out of which the legislature may make
extraordinary appropriations for the year
1907, and balance Of $l,615,577 out of
which the legislature may make extraor-
binary appropriations for the year 1908.
From this statement it is evident that in
order to circumvent the necessity of
levylng a state tax for the year 1907, the
legislature must be close in its appor-
tionments. Added to this condition is
the attitude of the present state admin
istration toward apportionments in gen
eral. Governor Davidson, while not ad-
vocating a general intrenchment, is
known to have pronounced ideas on the
subject of economy in the administra-
ton of state affairs.

On THE afternoon of December 81,
1906, Uncle Sam put up his shutters and
closed his Zig safes where he keeps his
money. He had just finished making up
his accounts for that year. His ledger
showed to his credit ST. ,628, 974,83 Not
only was that the largest amount of
money that ever was in his strong box
at one time, but it was also by far the
largest sum of available assets in actual
cash that any nation of which history
has record ever owned at one time.
Best of all, most of it is actually at work
in some way. It is true that $500,000,0 600
in silver dollars and bullion are lying
there, but paper dollar has been issued
for every silver one, and these are in Cir
culation everywhere greasing the wheels
of industry and progress and keeping

it, always providing he has the proper
collateral. His interest bearing debt is

all that off and have plenty of pocket
money left to go to the seashore or the
mountains, if he wished to take few
days off, or to build few ships or in
crease the salaries of his clerks, such as
congressman, senators and supreme

ACCORDING to Lieut. Governor w. ID.
Ctnnor, chairman of the republican
state central committee, the sum of
s19,288 was expended to elect the state
ticket last November. The committee
has bills amounting to $500 still out
standing, and subscriptions have been
been pledged for large part of this
amount. The Davidson Conner cam
paign preceding the primaries cost
$4,000 Conner him contributed $1,000.
The Lenroot campaign before the pri-
maries cost about $4,000. Lenroot was
the unsuccessful aspirant for the repub-
lican nomination for governor. Two
years ago when LaFolette was renomin-
ated and reelected as governor, the pre-
convention campaign cost $4,000 and
the pre- election campaign $37 600 The
primary law was not in effect then.

AND now the Legislature proposes to
take fall out of the express companies

SHIPMENT OF FRUIT.

Mention was made recent
by the daily press of the state
that reform had been inaug-
urated at Jacksonville in the
shipping of fruit and vegeta-
bles. The first undertaking in
this respect was the adoption
of a rule by all the large ship
pers requiring each shipper to
stamp his name on every crate
in order that the packer of dis
honest goods may be detected
and punished. Another reform
has been decided upon. A joint.
board Of inspectors will be en-
ployed and no goods will be
loaded in any car until they
have been thoroughly inspected
and approved by this board.
DISTINGUISHED parties will be Sc
lected to serve as inspectors
who will be required to pass i'm
partially upon produce submit
ted, Heretofore there has been
a very sharp competition in the
shipment OF this class of goods,
and as each shipping agency
employed it's own inspectors, a
great temptation was frequent
ly offered for the inspectors to
be lenient with the shipper in
order that his trade may be SCI
cured 1t is believed that
Jacksonville will reap a rich.
this system, and that the grade
reward by reason of using
of truck sent out from this
place will be perceptibly raised.
Such action on the part of the
shippers will attract buyers,
for it is a known fact that they
flock to the station where in
spection is the best and strong

TO PROTECT THE PLOvER.

The Texas State Game Pro-
tective Association issued an
appeal to all sportsmen in the
state to refrain from killing
plover this spring. There is
no law to protect this bird, but
the association believes that it
is only necessary to appeal to
the craftsmanship of local hun
tiers to protect them.
The plover are on their way
to their breeding grounds in
the North now and are light
ing in great numbers. The as
ISOLATION desires that they be
spared now so that they may
return in greater numbers in
the fall, when they may be shot.

craftsmanship said John J..
Stevens, president of the assoc

1t is interesting to note the
migratory habits of this bird
which comes in the spring from
Central America on it's way to
the western provinces of Cana
da. Thence it goes to Alaska
for the summer. From Alaska
it crosses to Labrador, where it
becomes very fat on species
of berry.

This Seasons Gowns
Are Weighted Down

q INCE the highest fashion dictates that
gowns shall continue to be made OF
light and clinging materials it has
been found necessary to weight them down
at certain points and thus prevent their
flying with the winds of winter. Indeed,
the natural charm of a clinging gown il
quite lost when allowed to blow out unex-
pectedly, producing, perchance, a sugges.
ton of old-time hoops. So many women
have been annoyed by this blowing about
of light gowns that it now seems they are
willing to submit to their being rather
heavily weighted.
This weighing is done with lead, with
cloth and sometimes with leather. Bits Of
nodded lead, or even shot, are sewn in lit
tie bags and then placed between the lining
and goods of bodices at desired points OF
accentuation. Usually these are found In
lapels, collarettes and shoulder tabs. The
sleeves of stout women are often weighted
near the front and back of the elbow.
These places, besides, not infrequently
tinuous knocking against the flesh of such
weights. When very light weights are need
ed for chiffon or lace bodices. pennies are
often used to serve the purpose.
Heavy broadcloth about six inches in
width is now used to face the skirts OF
crepe de chine gowns, while leather of the
same width is often used inside cloth and
vefvet gowns. Naturally these materials
are put on in the neatest way possible, and
a ruffie of silk or heavy lace is even sewed
over them that they may not affect the in
side appearance of the skirt The soft ma
terial then, instead of hanging in a light,
fmsy way, hangs in heavy straight folds
which are not easily displaced.
Leather is mostly used a facing for
street gowns. 1t is highly durable for this
purpose, and does away with the necessity
of q braid or veveteen binding. Clinging
about the ankles as it does, moreover. there
| is considerable warmth in it for those who

winter.
1t Is true that many women complain OF
| this weighing of gowns as causing fatigue.
| but acknowledge that 1t is necessary to the
graceful wearing of light, clinging stuffs.

It is necessary to bundle up we'll in an
automobile long after winter wraps have
been laid away, and the change from fur

ually The leather coats mentioned before
generally follow the fur wraps; then come
the cloth listers on the order of driving
wrap, and not until well into the summer
do the light silk and pongee busters make
their appearance. Rubber silk or gloria and
rubber-tired satin have some little warmth,
and are useful to take on long tour to
slip on over everything else In case Of a
sudden storm. Pongee duster coats will not
be materially different this year from those
of last summer. Some are quite deliberately
embroidered and have little fancy capes and
ruffles, hut the absolutely plain coats will
be just as smart, provided they are OF hne

Quite Human.
From the woman's College Kalends.
In our last months editorial, entitled
What Kind Of an Individual is a College
Woman?" we stated that she is considered
either an intellectual automaton or frivo-
GUS. purposeless creature, and that news
papers, judged by their headlines, appear
to take the latter view. In response to
our brutal SANDER Of absolutely well-mean-
ing and amiable gentlemen, our gallant
friend, the Evening News, has a retort
which we will print in full.
Our esteemed friend. the editor Of the
News, has too good a sense Of humor foT
us to refuse to Join him in laugh And,
considering that we feel ourselves some-
what in the position of a puppy who has
been impertinent TO a great big, mastiff.
and has received 4 superior, benevolent sort
of shaking before being gently dropped, we
particularly pride ourselves on retaining
our sense of humor.
We have been delighted with the News
editors mastery and conclusive proof that
all women are fair. Not personally being
connoisseurs of whisky, we Cannot say
whether his analogy Is very convincing.
but we are willing to take his word for It.
And the students of the Woman's College
now hold their heads a little higher In the
knowledge that they are fair-yea, even
the plainest Of than. II 1t 10 absolutely
