PRODUCING Cotored Silks.

It has been found that by feeding
silkworms partly on mulberry leaves
and partly on Usage leaves, being e1
tremely careful with the allowances OF
the two foods, they can be made to
produce red and blue silk. Colored
thread has been obtained by feeding
the worms on dyed leaves, but this
method Is not practical on com.

raw silk Is yellow or white.

Modern life, having succeeded in
eliminating economy from the list Of
virtues, is now, apparently, conducting
a urlve against sleep, which the old
er authorities numbered among man.

IN particular, seem to be ashamed Of
the fact that they mus: sleep. Tired

sleeve Of care-the inventor of which
was so praised by Sancho Panza,
prince of squires, is in disrepute.
This tendency to conceal the fact
that sleep still falls upon mankind is
strikingly illustrated by modern furni-
ture. The bed that was frankly bed
is being thrust into the background
as something to be ashamed of. It's

is cooler now and more pleasant and
once in awhile it is a little too cool
for comfort. However, since the
weather became cooler the drinking
water also cooled off enough so a man
can now take a drink without first
blowing on it. The water supply in
our district comes from the Rio
Grande, being pumped from the river
into what is known as the Mercedes
Settling Basin and from there is let
into what is known as the Mercedes
Canal. After flowing five or six miles
(the canal having one foot fall to the
mile) the water eventually reaches
US, and as most of the water pipes
are on top of the ground the water
has no chance to cool off unless the
weather does. We often have some
ice for drinking water also.
Most Of the men are down on the
border at a sacrifice to their interests
at home, and whether in business or
attending school it is a sacrifice just
the same. And I don't believe there
were many who went down merely
because they had to; they would have
gone anyway whether they belonged

I. R. Comes Out for Hughes;
Must Beat Wilson, His Cry

Theodore Roosevelt came out of
the woods" yesterday. flatly and final
ly refused the Progressive nomination
for the Presidency, announced his in
tention Of supporting Charles E.
Hughes, and urged all his followers to
do the same.
The announcement was made in a
letter to the Progressive National
Committee, sitting in Chicago. In his
letter the Colonel gave three reasons
for his decisions:
First-Hughes stands for progress
stvism, uprightness. and simon-pu
Americanism.
SeCond-President Wilson has been
tried and found wanting"
Third-The putting out of a third
ticket would accomplish no purpose
save to help to re-elect Wilson.
The Colonel paid glowing tribute in
his letter to Mr.. Hughes.
Il regard him." he wrote, "as a man
whose public record is a guarantee

Tt is urged against Mr.. Hughes that

la guarantee of this. His past career is
a guarantee that whatever he says before
election will be made good by his acts
after election"
A veritabIe salvo Of excoriation is
heaped on the present administration by
the Colonel
Mr.. Wilson has been tried and found
against that spirit OF far-sighted national
ism which is essential IL we are to deal
adequately with our gravest social and
Industrial problems
Denounces Wilson Policies
Mr.. Wilson and his party have
lamentably failed to safeguard the in
terest and honor of the United States
They have brought US to impotence
abroad and to division and weakness at
home. They have accustomed US to see
the highest and most responsible Offices
of government filled by incompetent
men, appointed only for reasons of par
tisan politics. They have dulled the moral
sense of the people. They have taught
US that peace-the peace of cowardice
and dishonor and indifference to the well
fare of Others-is to be put above
righteousness, above the stern unflinch-
ing performance of duty, whether the
duty is pleasant or unpleasant. Yet in
Mexico they have failed even to secure
the peace which they thus sought: and
they have failed. in spite of the most
ample opportunity and the most ample
warning. to prepare in any real fashion
to meet the crisis which their own
policy invited"
AS to the present prospects of the Pro-
gresstve party. the Colonel virtually
sings a swan song. At the same time,
however. he promises to stick by the
ship"
Sooner or later" he says" the
principles championed by the Progress
sives of 1872 must be embodied in the
structure of our national existence. With
all my heart 1 shall continue to work for
these great ideals.
But it has become evident. that the
people, under existing conditions, are
not prepared to accept a new party.
Under such circumstances our duty is to
do the best we can and not to sulk
because our leadership is rejected"
