was 5S years of age and was reared
in Bland county, where he has many
acquaintances and relatives. He is
survived by wife and ten children.
He will be inferred in Walnut Grove

generally broken down.
Every day brings changes in the
business progress of Bluefeld. Sam
uei Turk for a long time n leading
merchant on Bland street has moved
into his new and commodious quar-.
tiers on Princeton avenue. He now
has an excellent place and is filling
it with new goods of every descrip-

the new brick block and has all the
modern advantages of an up to date
business house. We wish Mr.. Turk
much prosperity in his new and ele.
gantly arranged business place.

The Discovery Of Silk

The history Of silk starts with Hoang-
ii, the third Emperor Of China, who
charged his wife and queen, Sizing Chi,
to examine the silkworms and test the
practicabiity Of using the thread from
the cocoons. In her zeal she collected
large numbers of the worms, fed them
herself, and discovered how to reel the
silk and make It into garments. This
was about 100 b. G. and for her dis
covery she was deifed, SO the Chinese
records say, and ever since has been
known as the ssGoddess Of SilkWorms. 4
Aristotle was the first European to
learn the true origin Of the wrought silk
brought to him from Persia on the re-
turn from that country of Alexander's
victorious army \
For centuries the finest and richest
silks were woven only for the church,
the nobility, and the most wealthy
knights
Silk culture in America started in
1922, when james /. sent siIkworm eggs,
mulberry trees, and printed instructions
to Virginia, but the attempt was not sue
cessful. The manufacture Of Corticelli
Silk was started in 1888 at Florence,
Mass, and from small beginning the
business has constantly grown until to-
day, the famous Corticelli Silk Mills are
the greatest silk thread works in the
world.
The wonderful insect that makes the
silk is the larva of small moth called
Serisaria mori. This species of cater-
pillar is commonly called the Mulberry

now extensively cultivated in China, ia
pan, Italy, France, Spain and other Eu-
ropean countries.
The silk moth exists in four states
egg, larya, chrysalis, and adult The
egg Of the moth is nearly round, slightly
fattened, and closely resembles turnip
seed. When the worm matches about
the first of june, it is scarcely an eighth
Of an inch long, covered with long black
hair, with shiny nose, and sixteen small
legs. Small and tender leaves Of the
white mulberry are fed, the young worm
simply piercing them and sucking the
sap. Soon the worms become large
enough to eat the tender portions Of the
Leaf. The worm has four molting sea-
sons, at each of which it sheds its old
skin for new one. In molting the old
skin breaks at the nose, the head is push
ed out, and the worm by wriggling and
twisting gradually works the old skin
Of. The full grown worm is nearly
three inches long; it is then ready to spin
its cocoon. It loses its appetite, shrinks
nearly an inch in length, grows nearly
transparent, often acquiring pinkish
hue, becomes restless and seeks a quiet

thence into the moth
The moths are cream white in color.
They have mo mouths, but do have eyes.
One moth lays from three to four hun,
dred eggs, depositing them over an even
surface. In the large cocoon varieties
there are over thirty thousand eggs in a
single ounce ayoirdupois. It takes from
twenty-five hundred to three thousand
cocoons to make pound of reeled silk.
Do you wonder that, centuries ago, silk
was valued at its weight in gold
Silk growers in the United States, by
working early and late every day during
the season, which lasts from six to eight
weeks, could scarcely average fifteen
cents for a days labor Of ten hours.
In reeling the silk from the .eocoons
the outside loose silk is removed, after
which the cocoons are plunged into warm
water to soften the ssgum which sticks
the threads together. The operator
brushes the cocoons with small broom,
to The straws of which their fbers become
attached, and then carefully unwinds the
loose silk until each cocoon shows but
one thread The silk from the cocoon is
reeled into skeins by machinery
Imported raw silk comes in skeins of
from one to several ounces, packed into
bundles called books, weighing from
five to ten pounds. In China and japan
the books are usually sold in bales vary
ing from one hundred to one hundred
and sixty pounds.

visiting friends and relatives.
Charles Brown 10 having visit
from q sister who came here last week.

Frank Hallister is in Missouri at

Emil Bilharz went to Nebraska last
week to look after his land interests in
that state.
A. M. Hayes and Zelona are gone to
Indiana to visit a brother that Mr..
Hayes has not seen for forty years.
The attendance was very large and
the verdict generally expressed one
sentiment. 1t was the beet ever held
in Audubon.
A word received from Miss Gladys
Wilson says she arrived in the
Rosebud County and is quietly located
on her fine 100 acres of land.
The German Lutheran Church peo-
pie have about completed the repairing
Of their Church property and the i'm
provements show up we'll indeed.
Queen Esther was rendered last
week according to program and pro-
nounced to be the best home talent
play that Audubon has ever witnessed.
In any city where the majority of
its citizens are home owners one will
find pretty homes and happy satisfied
people. They are always on the alert
for the best interests of the town and
its welfare. Where this is not so, such
an interest is not displayed.
Verne Culver, wife, and two children
went to Illinois to visit the relatives
of Mrs. Culver. If there is a man in
Audubon county who deserves a recre-
alton its Verne; his business at the mill
turning out a flour good enough
for all the very best
homes in America, keeps Verne close
to his post of duty.
A perfect town is that in which you
see the farmer patronizing the home
merchants, the laborers spending
the money they earn with their own
tradesmen and all animated by spirit
Of reciprocity between man and the
mechanic, tradesmen and laborer,
farmer and manufacturer, results every
time in making the town perfect
one to do business in. Perfection
should always be desired, even where
attainment is barely possible, we pre-
sumo, but perfect town must be
denominated great rarity until We
react more advanced stage toward
the millennium than has yet been
gained.
