NO DECISION REACHED.
In the Matte rOf Recognizing Huerta
Government, by United States.

Washington, May 22-President Will
son made it clear today that the Unit
ed States government had reached no
decision as to recognizing the Huerta
government in Mexico. He indicated
that when recognition is extended it
will be as a result of a general adjust

1t had been reported that with the
negotiations of a loan by Mexico pros

Loans DIV B. & j. Associatons.

- -
A law of general interest to a very
large class of citizens, is the amend
ment to the act of 1911 which limited
the amount of money which building
and loan association may borrow to
"25 per tentum of the amount actu-
ally paid into said association as sub
scription on dues on installment
shares The law was amended by
the General Assembly by increasing
the amount to $50 per centum."
This was one of the hardest fought
and most interesting measures before
the body, and took up a great deal of
time before committee and on the
floor of both houses. The original bill,
introduced by Senator Jones, provid-
ed for a repeal of the amendment of
1911, leaving such institutions free to
borrow any amount as was the law
prior to the act of 1911. The Senate
modified this, and report
ed a substitute bill, making the bill
read Fifty per centum of it's assets"
In this shapeit passed the Senate af-s
ter a long and bitter fight.
In the House the bill passed by
the words of 1911, amend
ment, except that 20 per centum. The
Senate concurred in this amendment,
and the bill became a law by ratiica-
ton February Is.

In speaking OF the work of the stu

1.-THE work of the students this year
is far more satisfactory than last, and
in fact in recent years. There is no
use talking the boys are doing good
work. They returned here after their
trip to Dallas and got down to steady
and hard work the next day. They are
more interested in their work and
then they are better prepared for the
work. That is the essential thing.
When the high schools and rural
schools get on basis OF thoroughness
and demand consistent work Of their
students the thing of failure in col
lege will be greatly decreased A man
enters here and in the first few weeks,
due to the fact that he is not prepared
he falls behind his fellows, loses in
