Waterway Sad to BE Endangered
From An Internal Eruption;
Excavation emoklnp.

COLON, March Uncomfortable
alarm is felt here for the big panama
canal, for fear that IL may be de-
stroyed by a volcano. Excavations In
the great culebra cut have caused
startling conditions to develop. The
earth 10 heated to so great a degree
that the greatest Of precautions must
be taken to prevent the dynamite be-
ing prematurely exploded, while from
four principal vents in the earth steam
and blue smoke is issuing. The heat
Is SO intense that paper Is consumed
and wood completely charred In the
larger vent. Many are OF the opinion
that the excavations are u~ncovering
a slumbering volcano. Developments
are being watched. with the greatest
Of interest b. those in charge OF the
work.
Canal commission g~eologist. d. +.
MDonald declares the heat and steam
are due to the oxidation OF pyrites,
but many believe that a volcano is
being gradually uncovered that threat
ems the big canal.

Letter to Mrs. Sims.

Mrs. NJ. w. Sims of this city, chair.
man for Brazos county, is particularly
anxious that everything possible be
done in the few days that remain.
She is in receipt of the following let.
ter from the state chairman:
"Woman's Wilson and Marshall Cam.
paign Clubs of Texas.
Dallas, Texas, Oct. 26, 1912.
Mrs. NJ. w. Sims, Bryan, Texas.
Dear Mrs. Sims-I have just re-
ceived notice from Mrs. ]. Borden
Hartman, president of New York, and
Mrs. Frank l.. Woodruff, chairman for
the South, Jackson, Tenn, of my ap-
pointment as chairman for Texas OF
the Southern League, Woman's Ma
tional Wilson-Marshall Organization,
and have been requested to commune
cate with you.
/ am ready to cooperate with you
in any way you think best to further
the cause of democracy, and especial.
ly at this time, in the interest of can
didate, Wilson and Marshall, for pres
ident and vice president
1t has been suggested by Mrs. Har-
riman that November 2 be set apart
as Wilson and Marshall day, and that
we make an effort to arouse interest
in the campaign to the end that the
people will by overwhelming majority
declare for democracy and its can
didates on the 9Th day of November.
Let us have day of Notification,
a parade of men and boys, and in
the evening a band concert, with
music and recitations.
Please call a meeting at once of

TEXAS WOMEN EAL|sT|AG
UNDER WILSON'S BANNER
Stirring Appeal Is Made to Them
to Aid In Raising Funds
for Campaign.

Militant in the cause of right, as
they have been since the flaming
sword at the gates of the Garden of
Eden closed the first mistake accred-
tied to them, women are now taking
the lead in the great struggle to place
friend of the people in the White
House at Washington. And the wom-
en- of Texas are in the van, as al
ways!
Mrs. William f. Robertson of Dali
las, chairman of the Texas Woman's
Wilson and Marshall Campaign Clubs,
has issued a stirring appeal to the
members of her sex in this state. 1t
will be answered-be sure of that. 1t
will be answered by every woman
who cares for her home, her state,
her country, her children and their
future.
Wilson and democracy are the hope
of America-the beacons that point to
an equal chance for all; the signposts
on the road to prosperity; the bull
warks against oppression of the poor
by the rich, and the only guarantees
that the men and women of this land
shall have the uninterrupted right to
the pursuit of happiness, as each un-
derstands that condition.
VIII You Help?
Will you enlist in such battle?
Will you come to the aid Of the
weak against the mighty?
Will you, without depriving yourself
of any necessity or comfort, give Of
your means that Wilson and DEM
ocracy and justice and right may
triumph in November?-San Antonio
Express.

MY DELIGHT WITH BRYAN.

new surroundings. Already l am led
to believe that this is a good place to
live and serve Cod The people here
impress me as being those of no small
energy and of unusual hospitality.
More especially am l delighted with
Baptist affairs. While Sunday was not
an unusual day with the Baptists of
Bryan, yet it was a day of striking
interest to me. There were present

Sunday three hundred and eleven,
and no doubt that many visitors;
seven accessions to church member

the service at night.
Our pastor, DR.. M. E. Weaver,

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

A Judge lays down the law when
he quits the bench.
There are also as good compliments
as ever were fished for.
To a man marriage seems far more
important before than after.
The common people include all the
men who do not shave every day.
1t takes a man to manufacture lies
out of whole cloth. A woman uses
remnants.
The way Of the transgressor would
not seem hard If he could afford pneu-
matte tires.
A man doesn't have to be very
prominent in order to attract people
who are willing to impose on him.

WASTE TURNED TO USE.
Story Of q Sauerkraut Factory and Ito
Worthless Juice.

y
Worthless Juice.
A simple illustration of how apparent
waste may be utilized Is shown by the
story of a sauerkraut factory on
Long Island In the manufacture Of
this German delicacy the Juice is press
ed out OF the cabbages and, as the
vegetables are about 60 per cent water
or Juice. the waste was more than
one-half. This juice was allowed to
go to waste.
1t was an Industrial chemist who
collected this Juice and discovered that
II contained much decomposed vegeta-
BILE matter There was an organic
acid In the juice that seemed worth
recovering. and by concentration and
filtration the acid was obtained and
refined. Today this organic acid forms
an important factor In the tanning Of
skins and In oil textile manufacturing.
At first thought II would seem as IL
the sauerkrnut industry was too
small to be of Importance in recover
Ing such nm insignificant byproduct
but there are alone on Long Island up
ward OF twenty such factories, and
each one uses some 2.500.000 pounds
of eabbages From each factory there
are recovered annually $4,000 gallons of
juice. or. In all. 100000 gallons Of
waste Multiply these figures by ten
