we can acquit ourselves creditably
in tutoring all who come within

FIRST SILK MANUFACTURED
IN OHIO TOWN IN 1841

Ohio was the first state in. the
Union to engage in the manufacture
of silk, according to DR.. William C.
Mills, curator of the Archaeological
Museum on the campus of the Ohio
State University. DR.. Mills is endeav-
oring to get some specimens of the
first pieces manufactured to exhibit
in the museum.
"TThe first silk factory was erected
at Mt. Pleasant, O., in 1841 by John
W. Gill and Thomas White said DR..
Mills. These men planted 25 acres
in mulberry trees and began the rais-
I ing of silk worms the following year.
Dress silks, ribbons, silk velvets and
figured silks were manufactured. Mt.
Pleasant is situated near Stubenville.
"The buckeye burr in light buff was
the first pattern woven. A vest pat
tern from this pitce was presented to
Henry Clay, who also wore a suit of
broadcloth made in Stubenville
factory
"In 1874 the Wing presidential
ticket voted in Mt. Pleasant was print
ed on silk made for the purpose in the
Gill factory. The first American flag
ever f1oated in China was made at this
factory and carried to the Orient by
Caleb Cushing.
"Since 1877 not a yard of cloth of
any kind has been made in Steuben-
vile, although at one. time there were
12 woolen, cotton and silk mills To-
Gated there"

Do YOU WANT SUGGESTIONS
FOR BETTER HOUSEK EEPING ?

DO you know why green vegetables
should be included in children's diet?
What do you know of canning clubs
now being organized in many states?
Can you estimate the cost of can of
vegetables as canned in your own
home, taking into account the cost of
vegetables, fuel and labor? Does
home canning pay?
These are some of the practical
kquestions which are suggested in a
bulletin just issued by the department
of home economics at the Ohio State
University. The booklet is being sent
| to women all over the state to aid
them in selecting suitable subjects for
club discussion.
The bulletin divides the subject of
home economics into the four chief
ends for which the family income is
spent: Food, shelter, clothing, man
agement. Each of these subjects is
further subdivided and presented in
outline form. Following the outline
are few suggested topics for papers
and discussions.
An introduction to the pamphlet
says: Gradually but surely womer
are turning their attention to the real.
| ly important problems of the home
and are finding plenty of scope fol
| their energies. The home, with its
many interests, is a subject worth
consideration and study. 1t is within
very recent years that the school.
have recognized this as a defnits
field of study, but all along the lint
now, from grammar grades up through
the high school and college, some at
tention is being given to variou
things that help to make condition.
of living better. It is quite appropri
4 ate, therefore, that the subject o
home economics should appear on s.
many club programs and that clul
women are studying some of tn
many problems which concern tn
home"

Mr.. Geo. w. Wales, was born in
Ross Township, Wood County, Dec

1915, aged seventy-seven years, five
months and twenty days. He spent
fifty years of his life on the farm
