Miss Amanda Moore arrived in our
city Saturday last from Marlnette,
with the remains Of her mother and
sister for reburial in the family lot Of
our city cemetery, by the side of others
gone before. She is, with the excep
tion CT brother in Florida, in failing
health, the last surviving member of
the family of John Moore, deceased, an
old and respected resident of this
county. The mother and sister have,
for the last few years resided in Mari

credit and the sympathy OF all for this
act of affectionate regard for her de
parted relations and more especially as
she had accomplished it at an expense
of over one hundred dollars which she
saved teaching school, for this pur-
pose.

STUDY IS TO Be MADE
OF THE SILK INDUSTRY
Undertaken by Home Economics
Committee Of the Twentieth
Century Club.

With tho idea that knowledge of the
preliminary processes of silk making
and weaving Is of great help to the
consumer in the choice Of goods and In
tho decision as to tho price that he or
she should pay, the home economies
committee Of tho civic section of the
Twentieth Century Club of Washing
ton has embarked on the study of tex
tiles.
I'VE know an appreciation OF Amer
lean manufacture will naturally follow
when we have studied the intricacies
chairman of this committee, and when
we shall have attained a realization
that a demand for materials which pass
the guarantee test will aid in giving
US that which we desire and Of which
we can fondly speak as made in
America"
An Interesting Industry.
The homo economics committee, on
going into the subject, has found that
the culture and manufacture of silk is
one of the most interesting Industries
in the world. according to Mrs. Lamb.
IF the consumer can buy for mod
crate price a fabric which contains part
silk ana part fiber. well and good"
says the chairman. But he or she
must not get the impression that this
is fine silk at low price. For those
paying the price Of pure silk the ex-
pense is justifiable in view Of the
beauty. cleanliness and endurance of
this product.
THE silk-weaving countries include
China. Japan, Italy. France. Spain,
Austria Hungary, Russia and India,
China being in the lead.
The manufacturing countries of the
western world have included France,
England. Germany, Switzerland, Italy
and the United States. France. Ger
many and this country in the last few
years have produced some so per cent
Of the total made in the occident, with
France making the highest class of
woven goods. and Lyon being pre-
eminent among the French cities.
New Jersey Cities Lead.
TN the United States, Paterson and
Passaio N. J.. are the most noted manu-
featuring cities.
There are two general varieties of
silk-the cultivated silk produced by the
silkworm moth and wild silk from un-
cultivated moths. There are found many
intermediate processes before the woven
material is produced from the cocoons,
and here occurs the value of testing
stations such as are found in silk CEN
ters. Stripping. dyeing, weighting,
bleach stretching and lusterfng are
all numbered In these processes. The
manufacturing, the designing of pat
terms and the marketing are further
steps to be taken In placing the product
before the ultimate consumer"

PRUSS|AN DIET GETS
WAR BUDGET FOR 1917
Hope of Peace Frustrated, Must
Fight to End, Says Finance
Minister.

LONDON, January 2o.-In submitting
the 1917 budget to the Prussian diet, DR..
Lentze. the minister of finance, according
to a Reuter- dispatch from Amsterdam,
made the following statement:
Each time we have submitted the
war budget in the last two years we
have entertained the hope 1t would be
the last with which We would have to
deal. Again We submit a war budget and
We should not like to abandon the same
hope. despite the fact that the German
peace offer has been refused by our enc
mics with the announcement of their
policy of war to destruction
After prophesying that the attacks Of
Germany's foes would fail before the
bravery of the German forces, DR.. Lentze
continued:
War a Severe Tax.
"The war has severely taxed our bud
get and has demanded special efforts.
Although a balance of receipts and ex-
penditures was established on the esti-
mates. this was only in appearance, be-
cause many important financial questions
had to be postponed until later. This
means that after the war we must con-
tinue to conduct our political economy
on narrower, more stringent lines than
formerly.
The principal thing today is that we
win the war DR.. LentZe continued.
The blockade makes itself felt more
and more. 1t cannot be denied that it
lies heavily on the country, and yet it
must be borne. Encroachments on pri-
vate interests, the difficulties of supply
ing fOodstuffs and their costliness GER
tainly are very great. Many man
with small income and large family
has great troubles to meet, but what is
the welfare of single individual as
compared with the future of our whole
people?
Cannot Starve Germany.
Our enemies make a great mistake
II they believe they can conquer us by a
blockade. No one starves in Germany.
despite the blockade. This has been
well provided against. In enemy coun-
tries the cost of food and the distress
In many respects are greater than
with US.
There are still difficult months ahead
of US. very heavy fighting still to over
come, many sacrifices of blood and
treasure still to make We do NOT denv
it. But our confidence remains Arm
We are all convinced that we cannot be
defeated and that victory will be with
us. Our true God, who SO certainly has
guided the young empire of Prussia,
will remain with us II only we do our
duty. and this We shall do with willing
hearts"
Figures Of the Budget.
The new budget submitted to the
Prussian diet, according to the advices
through Amsterdam. showed receipts
and expenditures for the past year
balanced at 5,1sO.7s5.Ooo marks. The
railways showed a small surplus, of
which 100000 marks were made over
to the compensation fund. State assist
ance for war relief organizations
amounted to 200.000.00o marks. The
surplus of direct taxation over esti-
mates amounted to 10000, 900 marks, and
this will be used to cover the deficiency
OF 1914.
1t was announced that the authority
to issue exchequer bonds had been ex-
tended from 100000 marks last
year to 5000, ,000, 900 marks.
