No Deficit for
Texas During
Next Two Years

II the figures compiled BY Chair
man SaiterWhite u the House Appro-
priations Committee are correct, there
wll be no deficit in the States fin
ances during the next two years, un-
less new appropriations, m addition
to the regular support Of the gov
ernment, are passed In the meantime
in excess Of $4,000, 900.
The committee has completed all
the regular appropriation bills, and
en- the basis Of the information now
at hand, Chairm.,i, Satterwhite has
compiled the estimated appropria-
tions and revenues for the next two
years. They show total appropria-
tions TO be expended during the year
ending August 81, 1922, of S2i, ,5t9,-
964, and total revenue and cash on
hand for the same period u S24,-
75O,6O5. For the year ending Aug.
81, 1928. the figures show total of
appropriations recommended Of Sli.-
220,53s. with estimated revenue Of
<is,43l, ,03l
This shows that there will be a
surplus each year, possibly N excess
Of S3.OOO,OO0 for the year ending
august hAt At--f atAl ~ tNN'o' "a
$1,000. 600 for the Year ending Aug.
81, 1925.
Cerianly this is a different story
from what we have been led TO ex-
rect. C8Ternor Ncff particularly has
insisted that unless the Legislature
kept its appropriations down to the
limit there would be a deficit. II the
predictions made by the Governor OF
the disparity between the probable
revenue and prospective appropria-
lions were correct at the time they
were made, and the figures quoted
by Chairman Satterwhite are cor
rect. then the Legislature Il certain
IN following the Governors admon.
ition To practice strict economy and
not 20 provide for the spending OF
any more money than the State has
IN sight.
We have no way Of checking up
Chairman Satterwhite's figures, but
as chairman Of the Appropriations
Committee he has unusual means OF
obtaining accurate information, and
In the absence of any other estimate
we must assume that his figures are
correct. II this ia true, then things
are moving along a great deal better
a tAustin than seemed possible a few
weeks ago.

When the bell boys in big Wash

outside the room doors of distin-
guished Europeans attending the in
ternational conference they prompt
ly concluded that the footwear had
been discarded, and carted it all off
to the basement. Next morning the
owners were in commotion not to
find the shoes in exactly the spots
they had been put, and shined in
approved fashion.
The bell boys did not know of the
European custom of shoes being
shined over night by hotel attend

of the custom over here OF daytime

TWENTY-stx PENS MAKE
 PERFECT DAILY SCORES

The laying contest at Storrs is now running in it's tenth year. In the twenty-third week of the current con- test the hens repeated the performance of the last two years for the same week by easing of little from the previous weeks production. However, they managed to come through with 521 eggs more than the six-year average. The total production in the twenty third week was 4,S24 eggs or 8 yield of 6s,s per cent. Each pen in the contest con- tains ten hens, thus a production of ten eggs in any one day would mean a perfect score. During the current week tventy-six pens made perfect daily scores which were distributed among the Rocks, Wyandettes, Rhode Island Reds and Leghorns.
 A pen Of Rhode Island Reds owned by H. s. Bickford, GrossviHe, N. H., won first place for the week with a production of 59 eggs. A pen of Rhode Island Reds enteped by Norman M. Misner, Hasbrouck, N. T., was second for the week with production of 5s eggs. ;Abed G.. Knikht's White Wyan- dottes from Bridgeton, R. l., The Orch ards Rhode Island Reds from South Hadley, Mass, and a pen of White Leghorps entered by The Orchard Hill Farm from Sandy Creek, N. r., all tied for third place with a. yield of 57 eggs each.

A Trin After the cons.

Dear Uncle Jed: One night as went after the cows saw a big, black snake near the river, so I plcked up a rock. But as quick as the snake saw 1t coming toward him, he squlrm- ed into the water. The snake had it's tail out off but it was still a yard long and two inches thick. As was about to go to- the pasture where the cows were, I saw big coon sitting up in the tree. So I sent my brother home to get the dog and stayed and watched the coon. When he came back he had my dog, and as quick as he saw the coon he began, barking at him. I went up in the tree and knocked down the coon but it got up in different tree before I had time to get down and help kill him. I went up again and the coon fell down out of the tree. The dog held him till ] got down. I took off my coat and put 1t around the coon and then, sent. the dog after the COWS. l took the ocoT in the barn and gave him something to eat. But the next morRing l found him dead because the dog had hitter him so much.

UEoLE JED's TALK TO. WIDE
 AWAKES,

How many of the wide-Awakea ever stop to think of the lesson that Is taught
 by the hard working birds7 You may say that the birds do not work, that every day is a holiday. for them, and that all
 they have to do is eat and sing. Then,
 again. there maye be some of you who
 have been watching more closely and have noticed that while they are flying 7 about and singing they are also alert for all the little things that are considered
 necessary to so into their nests, for
 building home for the season is one of the first things they do after getting back from their winter stay farther south.
 And how they do work There are sticks. twigs. string. cloth, horsehair and other pliable material that they lind to
 make their home whether it is 3 nest in
 an old apple tree, q shelter in bird
 house a cozy nook in hollow tree or a
 nest in a secluded spot on the ground. z. They are, as fussy as an architect. Every thing must be right. They twist and turn the material about until it's fits or suits them and they build we'll. Their nests ! serve their puroose and thssA arc those that serve for more than one season.
 But 1t ah represents work. The birds manage to have pretty good time if vy 2 can judge by their cheerful and tunefu' songs, but they are busy all the time I They mad seem to be cahe-tree but they never neglect their duties They cannot in fact, for if they did there would be n, one to get them up in the rn6ralns. no on, to feed them. no one to .seurfy around fol building material and therefore no nests sThe birds all have q good time but theJ conscientiously do their work and at th, came time set a grand good exau4nle |, each and all of us: #

In a Suaar camp.

Dear Uncle Jed: One inc March morning as I strolled down town met my friend Leonell, known as Hap py. asked him if he would go with me to Canada. He consented and the next day being Friday, He started.
 Sunday found us at my uncle's farm house. The morning altar our ar We had not been there two days before rival We were taken to the sugar camp. it came our turn to sit up and keep the fire going, About midnight Hap py, who was after wood came rushing in followed by two bears. In moment all was in confusion. The men who awoke ran about pursued by the bears, one of which tipped over the large caldron of boiling syrup which went on him and his mate scorcnlng the.r fur. Happy took his gun and killed the suffering animals, thus giving us for breakfast, dinner and supper, bear steak.
 The next morning we put in some more sap and by night it was consid- erably thick. Now as you must know, to test the syrup We have small wood en paddles or spoons. We were tasting the delicious syrup and Hap py, having a very thick paddle, took lots of the sweetess on it and thrust it in his mouth. The spoon went in but not the syrup, which burned his lips so he hardly could talk. " The following week found us in our lone scout cabin. talking of :oui trip. We all pitied Happy, for his burned lips.
