HeliOgraphS and hOming
pigeons are we'll enough for pas
time or for an emergency means
of communication. What is
wanted, however, for the pur-
poses of the islands is a tested,
approved and certain means Of
sending and receiving messages
! day and night, in season and out
oil season. Other countries and
people have more funds for cX-
pcrimcnts than Hawaii. Did
YOU ever notice the number and
variety OF schemes that the
newspapers present to their
readers A writer will in a few
inches OF space advance sugges-
lions that may require barrels OF
money and years OF toll to re.
duCc or elevate to utility. Then
they may never give the matter
another line and mention it only
| in conversation as testimony
! that he few men who yorktown
their souLCases for the Commu-
nifty are slow. The real way to
do in the editing business is to
generally provide interesting
matter along certain lines, then
when YOU see that the citizens
really want something done and
propose to do it, lust keep re-
minding them of it. No news
paper can get more that SIX
inches beyond public opinion
without "corking' itself. If the
reader agrees he'll say the editor
has a good head on him. If he
thinks differenton what the paper
says, he'll remark that the editor
is a fool. And this thing of &C
cusing newspapers of lying need,
ventilation. If the paper tolc
| half the lies its friends wanted il
to, it would have the full OIL
every other column nothing bu
les every issue. They say in the
States that the New Woman
still thinks pretty well of the ole
man and continues to" drag hi

One of the greatest inCOnven
a fences in connection with

tank. When the water is low

l. Tank you will see its advantage.

Il channel or groove IN the top {
