Of all the operatives of silk mills in this

year there has been slight increase New

this. the proportion Of child operatives in

America Is second only to France in
the annual value of it's SILK production, In
1900 10 per cent Of the silk used in this
country was manufactured here-an in

IS per cent of the silk ribbons annually sold
here The goods now principally imported
from Europe are high-c1ass novelties hand
made silk velvets and handmade silk laces,
which are not produced here to any appre-
ciable extent but which will, without doubt,

Weeds in Kansas Citv.

From the Kansas City Star.
The rain, which falls alike upon the inst

blowers and trees and grass. And the I'M
just weeds are even more grateful for IA
vors received than are the beautiful things
OF culture. So, in every vacant lot in Kan
sas City, along the sidewalks in the resi-
dence districts, and even in the streets. the
recent rains have given vigor to rank and
noisome vegetation. The time for the war
on weeds Is at its height and yet there is
evident now the annual backwardness on
the part of the city authorities to begin the
fight. At this season of the year there is
no other duty Of the street department
Which Is so necessary as that of moving
