Notaries Public List
Reached Austin Late

AUSTIN, Tex, March 27.-Approxi-
mately one thousand applications from per-
sons desiring to be appointed as n~otaries
public came too late to be presented to
the senate for confirmation during the last
few days of the thirty-fifth legislature.
The senate, however, did confirm a list of
notaries containing about 1900 names.
It is recalled, however, that the thirty
fourth legislature passed q law empower
ing the senate to confirm appointments of
notaries public at special sessions. This,
it is pointed out, will enable the senate to
confirm the notaries at the coming special
session.

The news from Russia l. incomplete,
but such a. has rome through gives
ground for hope that ut last a new Rus
STA has been horn and that the Russian
people, shaking off the chains of autoc-
racy, have firmly seized the reins of self
government. If the revolution Is as it
seems to be and the Russian army mt the
front accepts it, the biggest thing for hui
man liberty has been achieved since the
French revolution.
The world has been learning new things
about Russia during the last two years and
"A half. Formerly it assumed that auto
cratic Russia was Russia. Now we know
that it was chiefly the pro-German part of
Russia. 1t has been the German influence
that has been the prop of reaction.
France, effecting her great change
when assailed on all sides, chopped off
the head Of her king and chased out her
irreconciliables, and then showed herself
the stronger in a military way. 1t will
be a great thing for humanity if history
repeats itself.-New York Globe.

Nl-Acreage 1917; (bp-Coadition March
ID. 1917: (c)-Conditinn March /. 1911; Id
Condition March J.. 1916; c)-Area reduced
from 500 acres TO make it comparable with
other areas.
The average number of crates per car in
1916 was AGA.
There were 4,607 ears shipped out Of
the Texas Bermuda onion district ip 1915
and the average yield for the district was
about 237 crates per acre. In 1916 the
shipments were 4,903 cars, and the aver
age yield per acre was about 225 crates.
Applying this latter figure to the estimated
acreage for 1917 gives 2,7l1,250 crates,
the equivalent of 5,S43 ears of 464 crates
each.
From reports received it would appear
that there is no general change in the con
ditipn Of the crop from that reported on
March /. The drouth still continues in
Nueces county. The frost occurring in the
first week of March retarted the maturity
of that portion of the crop which was
planted early in the season. Thrips are ut
work in the fields but no serious damage i
reported.

thought will greatly facilitate the ac-

Under the former arrangement,
there were at least five entrances to

instance Secretary Sangsters office
opens into the main lobby while the
office of the rate department opens
into the south corridor far TO the
rear Other departments were equally
as far separated.
After the alterations are completed,

private offices, but they will he ac-
sesSible from the main entrance.
The room now partitioned off and
used as an insurance department will
in the future be used for hearings
The room in which hearings were
formerly conducted is so noisy that
on numerous occasions in the past
hearings have been Interrupted. Thu
insurance department will occupy a
portion of the space now used for
conducting hearings while the seCre-
tary of the commission with his stem
Ographer will move from their pres
