TEXAN KICKS ON PAYING Gov
ERNOR'S SALAD; PUNCH
BILL
(By Associated Press.)

AUSTIN, Tex, Feb. 17.-Gov. Ferg-
uson has approved an item in an APP
preparation bill which would pay for
Chicken salad and punch" used by
former Governor Colquitt at a recep-
ton. Attorney-General Looney held
that these items would be raid for
under the head of groceries, and
that the state has no authority to pay
for the governors groceries.
For these reasons, w. C. Middleton,
member of the legislature, recently
sued out writ of injunction to pre-
vent the comptroller from paying the
chicken salad and punch items until
the right of the state to pay for sucn
items has been thoroughly established
in the courts.

EXHIBITION
IN VIENNA
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

VIENNA, Feb. 17.-That it takes
moro than a general European war to
detract feminine interest from stylish
frocks and bonnets is evidenced by the
fact that the annual ladies' costumes
and millinery exhibition was inaugu-
rated in Vienna today as usual. The
exhibition is held upder the protecto-
rate of the Austrian government, which
probably accounts for the fact that the
models of the latest Partisan fashions
are conspicuous by their absence.

George Chaplin called at this Of
flee while in town Tuesday. He has
suffered greatly by the grasshopper
pest this season, his place being lit
orally cleaned up OF everything
green. The pests were not satisfied
to rid him of his garden and they
have stripped his fruit trees of fol-
iage and bark and Mr.. Chaplin fears
that his orchard, of which he was
very proud, has been entirely de-
stroyed. Other residents OF his
neighborhood have suffered in a sim
iler manner and the financial loss to
that section is heavy This is the
second year of the grasshopper pest
and they seem to be much worse than
they were year ago; just what Will
happen another year from them is
hard to say and it is to be hoped
that some means of destroying the
insects will be devised before another
crop season arrives.

the most satisfactory method OF
