WILL BE SECOND
EXTRA SESSION
GOVERNOR CAMPBELL PLANS TO
KEEP LEGISLATORS.
Appropriation Bill VIII Be Held
Over Until Present Extra Session
Adjourns Which VIII NecessItate
Another Call.

Austin, Texas, April 3.-Just as
the homesick members of the legisla-
ture had become convinced that they
could not pass valid appropriation
bill except the subject be proposed by
the governor, word came from the
executive Office today that that sub
ject would not be submitted at the
present session, which, of course,
means that there will be a second
called session.
The homesick ones now grasp the
hope that only the subject of appro-
priations will be submitted, but the
probability is that several other mat
tiers will demand the legislatures at
tention. 1t is not by any means GER
tain that the so-called platform de-
mands will all have received attention
when the present session closes, and
ures enormously enacted at the reg
ular session, which the governor has
called upon the legislature to substi-
tute with valid acts The belief is
prevalent that he will give the legisla-
ture plenty to do in the thirty days
to which the second called session
will be limited.
The governor is being helped with
suggestions for material to be sub
mitted Many of these suggestions
are coming from members of the leg
islaIure, for no matter how homesick
they may be, they do not hesitate to
trot downstairs and plead with the
chief executive to give their pet meas
ures another hearing.

Play Fair-It PAYS.

No matter how much money a man
may have he does not like to be de-
frauded. If he buys a coat he wants
the cloth to be just what the mer-
chant says it is; if he buys a barrel of
apples he IS indignant if he discovers
that the big apples have been put in
the ends of the barrel and small or
uRsound ones between, and he de
cides not to deal again with the man
from whom he bought them. No man
wins permanent success who does not
deal fairly with his customers. But
let us not be honest simply because
it pays financially. for there is a bet
ter reason-it pays for peace of mind
afforded and the true welfare of the
soul.-From April Farm journal.

Which way it mods there goes the

And where it beckons eager feet ad-

And where it flies there is the wide
gulf bridged;
1t speeds athought across a continent
Behold. a highway CLEANS the way

The mind is master In its alchemy
The earth turns gold prize of
pearls the sea;
The frowning mountains are re-
moved, and loI
The fragments piled, to smiling
