Rayon silk and films for the
camera are known to everyone. The
girls delight in the silk. Those
who find pleaslure in exact records
Iof he beautiful in nature or
pictures of their friends appreciate
the film. But it is. quite probable
that the consumer of neither
article stops to consider the prim-
ary source of the silk on the film.
How many knew that the silk which
results in such becoming gown
for a beautiful girl or the film that
so accurately records the features
Iof the individual, came from the
spruce forest in, the8 form tof a log
of wood? Yet that is literal
fact.
One of the largest producers of
wood plup on the North American
continent is the Brown Paper COM
pany Of Portland, Me. L. G. Cur
nett, an executive officer of that
company, has been visiting with his
family at their home, Sierra Lin
da Ranch in Cave Creek canyon
for three weeks and he tells some
interesting facts about the manu-
facture of wood pulp. Wood pulp
is the source of material for the
film and for the rayon silk. 1t
is also the source of many other
Items in every day use. 1t is the
source of the paper towel 1t is
the source of a tube or pipe that
haa been developed by the Brown
company which it is claimed is am
Eacid resisting tube and that fact
has already brought the tube to
mining interests. Ii it should hap
pen that this tube proves to be
acid resisting under all conditions,
then it, will have resulted in a
great thing for the metal mining
industry because that is one of the
problems they have been trying to
solve.
Best Product Into Rayon.
Wood pulp is made in the. form
of what is termed sulphide and
the Brown company makes 500
tons, dry weight, of the sulphide
every day. Of that quantity, one
third, approximately, is refined into
the highest quality icellulose and
this refined portion goes. to the
making of rayon and films. The
best grade of cellulose goods, also,
is made from that product. III
that group pulp used in making
the finest paper takes the place of
rags which formerly was the pri-
mary source of such paper. 1t is
also used for making the artifi-
cial feathers so common in the
commercial lines today.
The remaining two thirds of the
pulp, which the Brown company
makes is used for manufacturing
book paper, bond paper and for
papers in common office uses.

raging. Twenty minutes ago the government declared

Rayburn awed by the realization that his words

people, whose appearance he could not even conjec

them could not understand, now gazed in something
like terror at the microphone. He nerved himself to

Four slight changes in time have
been made in the arrival in Doug
las of Southern Pacific trains under
a time card which becomes effect
i've today. The east-bound trains
all arrive few minutes later ex-
cept the Copper City Special which
retains its former time. The west
bound trains show one later ar
rival, one earlier arrival and one
on the same schedule.
The Golden State, No. 4, will now
arrive in Douglas at 1888 p. m.
which is 29 minutes later than It's
former schedule. 1t will remain in
the station for but eight minutes,
whereas it formerly remained 10
minutes. 1t is apparent that two
minutes will thus be devoted to
travel time.

arrive at 4:42 and remain nine

"It is not Imagination on my part
when insist that there is a differ

the early California and other pio-
neers in that virtue we call honesty,
so far as the public is concerned
There may be-probably is-as great
individual honesty today, but the hon
esty, as a public virtue, in the earlier
days had the present beaten"
The foregoing is the thought OF
L. G. Gurnett, of the Brown Paper
company of Portland, Maine. Mr..
.Gurnett has been in Arizona for three
weeks visiting with his family at
Sierra Linda ranch in Cave Greek
canyon. 1t was there he talked OF
the question of comparative public
honesty. He had in mind the hon
esty of people generally, or the COM
munity spirit of honesty as exempli-

people recognized property rights OF
other people.

plank IN the platform was endorsed
and Secretary Of the Treasury An
drew Mellon was scored for his
"dilatory tactics" in delaying the en-
forcement Of the eighteenth amend
ment, in a resolution adopted.
The candidacy Of John N. Garner
for reelection TO congress from
this district was endorsed.
Willacy county's votes will be
carried to the Beaumont assembly
by seven men. Those named as del
egates are L. o. Robbins, S. L. Gill,
r. s. Robinson, j. A. Johnson, A. b.

Roger F.. Robinson.
The resolutions follow:
Resolved by the democracy Of
Willacy county, in convention as
sembled that we endorse the action
Of the Hon. James A. Reed in his
warfare against graft and corrup-
ton in high places, and that in the
superb leader all democrats can
find a common ground to unite.
Therefore,
Be it resolved, that the delegates
to the state convention from this
county are here now instructed to
cast the votes Of this county for
delegates to the national conven-
tion who will support the Hon.
James A. Reed for the nomination
for president in the national demo-
cratic convention.
Be it resolved that il is the sense
of this convention of democrats in
Willacy county hat all laws should
be enforced and that we view with
alarm the declaration Of some dem
ocratic candidates for the office of
president Of the United States IN
which it is declared that the eigh-
teenth amendment cannot be en-
forced. and that they favor laws that
will weaken and not strengthen such
amendment. We now here endorse
the eighteenth amendment, the Vol
stead act, and recommend the enact

ment OF no law that will not tend TO
better enforce such amendment
We further declare in convention
assembled that the matter Of en-.
forcing prohibition in the United
States has never had n chance, for
the congress Of the United States,
the president and his cabinet have
been and are republicans, and the
secretary Of the treasury is n re-
publican, who is charged with the
enforcement Of prohibition, has sig
nslly failed, and this, to the world.
Is not n surprise. since he was and
is one of the largest distillers OF
intoxicRnts in the nation.
Resolved that the democracy Of
Willacy county, in convention as
sembled hereby endorses the action
Of the state democratic executive
committee in requiring that all par

conventions take n pledge of fealty
to the party, and here nov endorses
