expected to leave Queretaro, tempo

them with complete information for

doubt that in the years to come this
will become a very important station
on the tourist sightseeing route of
Southern California.

from Mexico. Widespread regret is

construed by the Mexican people as
an act of cowardice and defeat, and
that hereafter the position of Ameri-

deplorable than in the past.

not to withdraw implies intervention,
and that intervention must be mat

and for time was deelgate from the
Cigarmakers Union in the Trades and
Labor Assembly. He had been a dele
gate from Trinidad at two or three con-
ventions of the State Federation of La
Dor, and was popular by reason of his
good nature and sunny disposition.
4 letter to The Bulletin from Trinidad
states that Brother De Mouche had only
recently returned from a trip to Texas,
where he had spent several months in
lower altitude for the benefit of his
health. No one saw the accident and
it is presumed that he was seized with

HOME INDUSTRY IN
SCHOOLS ISASKED
Mrs. Bradford Urges Teachers
to Instruct the Pupils
School Supplies Should Be Purchased
Of Colorado Concerns Which Pay 4
Taxes to Support Them

Planting home industry seed in the
minds of public school children is the
splendid idea being advocated by Mrs.
Mary C. C. Bradford, state superintend-
ent of public instruction. She is sending
to each county and district superintend-
ent the following letter:
An effort is being made to inculcate
loyalty in the minds of the Colorado
school children. One way of proving
such loyalty is by spending Colorado
earned money in Colorado.
Colorado schools are supported by
taxes of Colorado people. Therefore en-
craving and printing of school announce
ments should be awarded to Colorado
printing firms.
1T is suggested that when orders arc
given to local printing firms, the request
be made that the work be done within
the boundaries of this state. As one
means of building up great common
wealth, we recommend such action to
all school officials, and ask that the
school boards take up the matter with
their principals,
Representatives of Eastern printing
and engraving concerns boast that they
receive more of this class of work from
Colorado schools than from those of any
other western state, and this shouldn't
be the case. As | mentioned above. our
schools are supported by Colorado peo-
pie, and Colorado people should, in turn,
be the ones to furnish our supplies.
Graduating classes must realize that
the funds necessary to complete their
education have been provided by Colo
rado people, business men especially
