Willow Switches Given Away.

The small boy whose father has
time to apply the switch should be-
ware with little more than his usual
caution. The United States govern
ment is giving nway willow switches.

and some parts of 1t were found to be
too wet for raising ordinary crops.
Therefore the experts set willows out

30 smart growth that the govern

will be given to one person.-Worces'

Two breaks have occurred near VIII

Another Message From the Governor


Recommending certain deficiency
appropriations which have not as yet
been acted on, urging that the provis-
ions of the act In reference to the free
distribution of the revised laws be so
amended as to limit the liberal lines
of the present law. suggesting legisla-
tion to conform with the new consti-
tutional amendment for the election OF
United States senators. and indorsing
the report Of the house investigating
committee dealing with the leasing OF
oil and gas lands, Governor Cruce sent
a special message to the extraordinary
session of the legislature.
On the matter Of the leasing Of large
tracts of state land for mineral pur-
poses, the governor concurs In the
recommendation OF the investigating
committee that such leases be not
made to any one individual and that
the mineral underlying the soil be re-
served forever to the state. Should
the recommendation be embodied into
law, the governor states that he would
favor the acceptance OF the offer Of Il.
W. Marland to cancel the leases made
to him.

ing four fatal defects In the present

for the benefit oi the progressives. A
rotation of candidates names Is re-
ouired. to prevent any one being elect
