This seems to be an off year for grass hoppers, according to the entomologlsts of the United States Department of Az riculture, who recently made survey Of the grasshopper situation. A compara- vtiely small number of eggs were de- posted last fall, probably due to para sitic insects having killed most of the hoppers before that time. Except in the courties mentioned fully S5 per cent of the egsG that were deposited have since been destroyed by insects that feed on them. The success of the use of the poi soned bait was also noticed by the ento- mologists. Very few eggs could be found on the farms where poisoned bran was used last summer, but on other farms nearby the eggs were unusually abun-
 dant. This difference was so great as to be nocticeable even in adjacent fields.

R.L.HENRY SEEKS
STATE SUFFRAGE
Congressman From Waco
Asks for Referendum
On Woman's Rights.

Waco. Texas. June 12.-Robert L.
Henry Of Waco. Texas congressman,
said today;
The federal suffrage amendment
has been submitted TO the states and
the question has for the present passed
from the domain Of the federal action
and must be either ratified or re-
Jected by the respective states
1t must command respect that it IS
not an inconsistent position for a sem
ator to say that even though he were
his state. yet by referendum he is
willing to let the people IN each state
vote on the ACCESSIBILITY Of the amend
ment- And surely We have rig-t to
think that our Texas senators would
be glad to have all the voters deter
mine by the ballot what this state
wants in regard TO the federal amend
menL
No Texas legislator should want
to railroad the ratification Of this
amendment through the special ses-
sion and especially so when We are 20
vote on eight other important amend
ments in November. Immediately af-
ter which Gov Hobby says he viii
call another special session.
Let the legislature consult its con-
stituencies and in order that the mem
bers may be fully advised. postpone
action until November and not lynch
public opinion just expressed at tbs
elections Of Nay "a.
Certainly all must admit that there
are thousands Of good men in Texas

 My daughter is sixteen and attends the Wheeler Business college every day. She has been looking so badly for some time that I became alarmed over her condition. She was so thin and pale. You could see the blue veins in her arms and hands very plainly; it seemed she was all nerves, had no appetite and felt tired, dull and istless all the time. and her sleep was very broken.
 Knowing what Dreco has done for the Wallace family. l got bottle for my daughter and her improvement began at once, Her appetite increased: sleep be- came sound nd refreshing her cheeks took on color and that tired, dull feeling was chased away.

Mir. Pht- len is of the opinion the administra- ton would desire some time to send representatives to oppose certain of the petitions, or to cooperate with the state commission in the railroad mat ters.
 It is expected there will be many complaints against the railroads now that the commission has been given back certain powers taken away when the government took charge of the public utilities.
 At the monthly meeting on July the commission will face it's bigSeS. task since the government assumed control of the railroads. There will he approximately 20 petitions to De heard. and the session will take up at least two or three days.
