YUMA ID HAVE FINE
 ROADS FOR AUTO|sTs

Not only will stretches of the Bor-
 derland route-the route from the Middle West to the Pacific coast that's open the winter through-be im- proved for tourist travel to the Pana- ma-Pacific and San Diego expositions, but the southern counties of Arizona. lying along the Borderland, will build systems of fine automobile roads that will invite the motoris.. to tarry by the way. By defect in the improve ment law, they were stopped for a while from issuing bonds for road im- provements, but the supreme court of the state, taking common sense view Of the matter, has said that the boards )f supervisors may go ahead.
 Yuma county, in which Yuma is situated. proposes to issue bonds to the amount of $5O0,O0O for this pur- pose. No time will be lost after the bonds are sold, and the roads will be ready when the first tourist, in ad- vance of the exposition, motors into Yuma
 At least, it is sincerely hoped so.

Class Poem

Alone with seven suffragettes; Such seemed to be my fate, And had not rescue come thus soon It would have come too late. For last September I was fat,
 And somewhat husky, too, But now behold my pallid face;
 I'm faded, black and blue. While Eva fought me with her tongue,
 Babe blacked my pretty glim; She used me for punching bag
 To keep in fighting trim. Ethel usually is quiet;
 A sort of timid, friendly thing, But l have found that she is somewhat
 Handy with a good left swing. On the first of last September
 Dot and weighed just the same, AndI'd have expanded further:
 Now, alas, I'm weak and lame. Jessie, although very harmless,
 Sometimes loved to tease, you see, And often when she had no paper,
 Took pen and wrote on me. Anna is, think, softehearted,
 Or at one time may have been; But, alas, in playful spirit,
 Loved to stick me with a pin. The fellow that wrote "In My Harem,'
 Had vacuum in his brain. Anybody writing such things
 Must have had foolish strain.

SILK WORMS ID FURNISH FINE
 NEW INDUSTRY FOR OUR VALLEY

Government officials and agricul tural experts are advocating strongly the silk industry for Arizona, and in vestigations are being carried on along this line, Arizona is a farming and mining state, and the excellent, even climatic conditions and soil conditions are particularly adapted.
 AS yet, over ninety per cent of the silk used in the United States is pro duced in Japan and China.
 Silk raising is not merely planting the seed and cultivating assiduous- ly, as in the case of cotton, but it in wolves a much less complication, and is singularly adapted to farm life. Mulberry trees are not only common in growth here, but are in all events, prolific in their fruit and thrive won derfully, and the species of silk worm which will most probably be cultivated will not be the species known as Mai, which is extensively used in Japan; but Attius erecripis, whose cocoon is nearly ten times as large as Mai, and is general feeder Mai feeds only on mulberry and orange while Crecro- pia enjoys not only restricted diet but eats all and everything, and it's silk is far more lustrous and strong CT than any other variety.
 Arizona, and, as is well known Yuma Valley, is the year around GOV cred with yerdure and the Crecropia, which produces silk stronger and more abundantly than any species known in the world is native of Arizona, and can be grown the year around, feeding
Arizona sentinel and Yuma weekly examiner., 1914-06-04

upon practically all deciduous trees
 and shrubs.
 l O. c. Polling, of the Salt River valley, is one of the most earnest promoters of the industry, and, after la twenty-seven years study of the sub Iject and all conditions in America, has concluded that Arizona is the rigniful
 center of the industry, is the best
 adapted and that there is no place where silk can be produced to better advantage
 with small mining settlements, where the women lead a somewhat humdrum common place life, and the coming of the silk industry will be splendid pastime and an interesting occupation. It gives less bother and trouble than chickens or pigeons; the cute, crawley, cuddy, little worms make profitable pets. The work is light and pleasant, and for the most part is out of doors
 Of special interest is the species which feeds upon ironwood and palo verde, and which will no doubt be found unusually adapted to mining and arid regions, where she days are long, the mail comes but seldom and something new and of interest will be appreciated.
 And it, will be of interest also to Yuma valley farmers daughters, who will no doubt appreciate the signifi- cence of going out into the garden and plucking a new charmeuse dress, or a Japanese silk kimona, or some other such luxury, necessary to fenin- inc beauty, right off the trees,

Medical Work in India

A dispensary report from Lahore, India, shows a total of 9,034 visits. In the report Mrs. Dass makes the state
 nents which are characteristic and typical of this work;
 Many of our patients have shown a great desire to hear the scriptures and the hymns sung, and some of them have taken portions of scrip sure home to have their little boys read to them, and they have asked our prayers for their husbands that their hearts may be turned to ou1 Lord and Savior, for it is almost i'm. possible in our country for women to become Christians without their hus bands. A lot of our women come from villages where they do not get any medical aid, and amongst these are some who come only to hear the scrip lures and hymns and they sit through she whole time listening.
 These village women are very sim pie, and at times misunderstood our directions, One woman was given cough medicine to take every four hours. The third day she came back saying it had done her no good. al- though she had rubbed it on her neck until the skin had come off. We often hear the women say that they have great faith in our medicines, and get we'll so soon, because we always ask Gods blessings at the beginning of each day."

In anticipation of the passage of the the proposed 20-year extension bill, which would greatly relievt the set tiers as to their payments, Secretary Lane has from time to time further extended the date for payment of building dam and siphon charges until June 1, 1914.
 In case of the failure of Congress to pass the relief bill approved by the Interior Department, it will be neces sary for the settlers to make the payments in question by August 15. These payments have remained unpaid for much more than year and the secretary has postponed action from time to time on the assumption that Congress would come to the relief of the water users.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 3-(Spe- cial to the Yuma Daily Examiner by Ida Clyde Clarke) )-The Fife Sears Memorial School at Pingtu, China, closed it's years work recently. Fol lowing is a description of the inter- esting program at the close of the school:
 The school has steadily increased ::. numbers, character and scholarship All over the country it's graduates are teaching and preaching. The only teachers employed in the city govern ment school here, are two of our ITS, graduates. Each Sunday they may be seen leading band of their pupils Gall from heathen homes) to services in our chapel and to the afternoon service in our school This spring I have one hundred and eight girls. Many more applied, but on account ot the lack of room could not be taken. I want to tell you about our last com mencement exercises when five young women between the ages of 21 and 26 were graduated and given diplomas.
 ''The school had been transformed into bower of beauty with flags and Chinese lanterns; also gajly ;olored festooning made by the stu
 
 dents. On Monday afternoon, before an audience which left not an inch of standing room even, an entertain ment entitled Christmas in Many Lands," was given by fifteen of the high school girls Even represented 2 country and with distinct enuncia- tion and graceful gesture, told the story of how Christmas was celebrated n her country. Interspersed were a number of carols, all of which were sung entirely from memory, and in swo parts. This was the first time that these girls had ever attempted, pr the Chinese here seen anything of the kind. They surprised and enter .ained all next morning at g a. m.. when an even larger audience assem- 5led-this being made possible by seating guests on the window -sills. l The program was fine
 Then came the distribution of the diplomas, the parting songs of school 70 graduates and graduates to the school, words of exhortation from Pastor Key and the benediction.
 "All were much impressed by the and by the singing of the girls. Parents, too, were actually de lighted at the demonstration of what l Christians can do for their daugh- ters"

ADVERTISING FAITH THAT WON
 MILLIONS FUR BAKING POWDER

left by William Zeigler. Miss Brandt is sister of William Zeigler, who was adopted by the deceased and inherited the bulk of the estate. She asks for one-half of the residue, together with one-half the income that has accumu- lated, the latter amounting to $4,00O,- 000 Miss Brandt, who is twenty three years old, sets forth that when she and her brother were children they were adopted by Zeigler, but that six years later, in 1902, she left the Zeigler, signing papers vacating her adoption. She recites that she was under age when she signed the papers and her own mother was not party to the proceedings.
 She delayed bringing action until her brother reached his maturity, her complaint says, so that he be legally competent to enter complaint against this big estate.

UNLESS CONGRESS PASSES BILL,
 SETTLERS MUST PAY THE CHARGE

Secretary Lane fully recognizes the necessity for the relief which is pro- posed in this bill and which has pass ed the Senate, He has made strong representations in urging it's passage by the House of Representatives, and takes the present action in order that payments may be made this summer before the situation is further com plicated by the falling due of another instalment
 If the 20-year bill is not enacted by August 1, an order will be made re- quiring payment by August 18th, and the situation is still critical How ever, as Yuma project has not yet been declared finished this may not immediately affect the Yuma valley farmers.

Yuam shlh Kai and Christian School.

Yuam Shih Kai and Christian Schools
 Yuan Shin Kai, president of the Chi nese republic, has recently placed two of his daughters in Picking mission school. Why? Because, like other discerning men of affairs in China, he recognizes that Christian schools are far superior to those under go, ernment control.
 The failure of the latter is explained by the attempt to work from the top downward. In the province of Kiang si, for instance, there are no efficient primary and intermediate schools con ducted along modern lines.
 Peksng's alert commissioner of edu- cation is advising his fellow officials to send their children to the mission schools.
 Lack of room in the Methodist boarding school at Nanchang makes necessary the turning away of pupils almost every day. Many of these boys belong to official or wealthy families.
 One government officer, on leaving his boy at the day school, said to him: I have brought you here because I believe it is the best school in the city. On ething you must be care Eul to remember. These Christians are different from the rest of the Chinese, When they teach the Bible and the facts about their religion. I want you to give especial attention SC that you may learn what it is that makes them different"
 If the Christian church will provide educational facilities it will 1o much to supply the demand for in the government schools md thus meet one of China's great | est needs.

Centenary of New Zealand Missions
 In 1914, the first C.M.S. mission aries landed in New Zealand, and dur ing the one hundred years that have since elapsed what were literally "can- nibal islands," have been transformed into one of the great dominions of the British empire in 1909, the church missionary society took leave of the first missionaries. A passage was ob- tained for them in the transport ship Ann, which sailed for Sydney In August, 1909, and reached Port Jack son in the following February. There they took passage in whaling ship, going to New Zealand, and eventually arriving there in December, 1874, five years and three months after leaving Englandl
 Another year and three months had passed before the society at home heard of the settlement being founded. For eleven years there were no bap- tisms, and it was not until 1880 that the first public baptismal service for adults was held Then followed the marvellous movement which resulted in almost the whole Maori nation being brought under Christian instruction and ciyilizing influences, and which moved the first bishop, George Au- gustus Selwyn, on his arrival in his new diocese, in 1S42, to write:
 We see here a whole nation of pagans converted to the faith"

Is compelled to drill an eleven
capable of UNFOLDING the gridiron
honor of the west against four
eastern teams. Harvard, Pennsyl-

Last season he met three of this
quartet and defeated all of them.
But this year Yost starts in
with practically no line. He re-
tains two from his 1912 eleven
and this pair could not be called
first class. He needs a good cen
ter mostly.
Although Michigan loses Jim

Wolverines will not necessarily
be weakened behind the line.
YOst this year comes into posses
sion of the best pair of backfield
prospects Michigan has had i'm
years. One of these is Johnny
Maulbetsch and the other Law
renee Splawn.
Maulbetsch was the best full
back in Michigan college circles
last season. He is described as
second Heston and the west new
er saw the equal of HestOn.
Splawn is the best kicker Mich
igan has had in years and years.
He punts high and for long dis
tances. AS a forward passer he
outranks anyone on Yost's squad,
which is saying a lot right now
as nearly every man under Yost
can forward pass. IL the "Hur-
ry Up" coach could trade six
capable forward passers for an
equal number of linemen to Yale,
who possesses any number of
good linemen but few forward
