AUSTIN, Sept. 3-GP9-Gov. r. s.
Sterling said today a tabulation of
replies from Texas senators showed
q majority OF them opposed any

troll legislation and nine opposed

governors QUESTIONABLE.

There were some shepherds In that neigh
borhood keeping watch through the night over
their flock in the open fields.
And an angel Of the Lord stood by them,
and the glory of the Lord shone around them,
and they were terribly frightened.
The angel said to them, DO not be fright
ened, for bring you good news Of q great Joy
that is to be felt by all the people, for today.
in the town Of David, a Savior for you has
been born who Is your Messiah and Lord.
"And this will prove it to you; you will find
q baby wrapped up and lying in a manger."
Suddenly there appeared with the angel .
throng Of the heavenly army, praising God,
saying "Glory to God in heaven and on earth,
peace to the men he favors!"
When the angels left them and returned 70
heaven the shepherds said to one another.
Come! Let us go over to Bethlehem and see
this thing that has happened, that the Lord
has told us of"
And they hurried there, and found Mary and
Joseph, with the baby lying in the manger.
When they saw this, they told what had
been said to them about the child
And all who heard it were amazed at what
the shepherds told them, but Mary treasured
up all they had said, and pondered over it.
And the shepherds went back glorifying
God and praising Him for all that they had
heard and seen in fulfllment of what they
had been told.

Secretary Becomes Judge

THE perishable agricultural commodities act
] has made the Secretary of Agriculture a
judge and many cases come before him for
rulings as intricate as those of court of law.
A recent case involved the shipment Of two
carloads Of grapes. They were sold +. o. b
at the shipping point, but when they reached
their destination the purchaser refused to
accept them without cut in price of $40.
The shipper, after much dickering. agreed to
accept payment under protest Of the smaller
amount. He then appealed to the Secretary
for redress.
The shipper lost out, however, for there Is
no provision under the law for acceptance Of
payment under protest. The shipper had two
courses open-one, to refuse to repossess the
grapes, and the second to resell at lesser
price, in either case having redress against
the original purchaser for any loss entailed by
him.

So every one went to his own town to

And Joseph went up from Ganlee from the
town of Nazareth to Judea to the city Of David

house and family of David, to register with
Mary, who was engaged to him and who was
soon to become a mother
While they were there the time came for
her child to be born, and she gave birth to
