The preliminaries being attend
ed to Prest. Macarthur said he was
glad to see so many here today.
Stated that while he and his coun-
oilers we're at the general confer
ence, t, ey laid the matter of con-
solidating the 4 S.. George wards
into one ward, IS the matter had
already.besn agitated in st. George
and asked their advice in relation
to the matter. The reply was, if
the people wanted it in one ward,
they had no objections, and said
the High Council met last Monday
and appointed an election to be
held yesterday for the people to
vote on the question whether they
desired ! the 4 wards consolidated
into one, or not. The election has
been held and the vote fairly taken
and the decision is that large
majority are in favor of consolida-
ton. want the bishops to settle
up everything in the wards and put
everything in good condition.
The report of the election was
then read as follows
LIST ward, 95'votes for, and IL
against consolidation.
End wald, 81 votes for and 9
against consolidation.
3rd ward, l49 fer, and 2 against
consolidation.
4th ward, LA for, and rs against
/. consolidation, Making total of
449 votes cast in favor of consol-
! idation and 81 votes cast against it.
~ 1t was then moved and carried
that the report be accepted. A
motion was then put that the vote
: Tor consolidation be made unani-
nous, which was carried without
dissenting vote.
I I'D. H. Cannon said l am pleased
to meet with you in ST. George to-
day, and am thankful to see the
unanimity of feeling in consolidating
the four wards, as this question has
already been agitated and everybody

their own opinion in this matter.

PERSONAL ExpERlEaCE.
(Continued)

AS stated in the former letter,
the natives believe the Islands
were born of woman, her name
was Papa, and to have made the
Kalo plant, by planting a deform-
ed child, and of which poi, their
principal food, is made. They
speak of q man once among them
who was so tall that he could wade
the ocean he could stand with one
foot on the Island of Oahu the
other on Kanai, 70 or 80 miles
apart. One time the king of
Tahiti, who in revenge took the
Sun away and left the whole ma
ton in darkness, but this tall man
whose name was Kama walked
through the ocean to the far south
to where the maker of the Sun
lived and got bran new Sun.
He then returned to the Sand
witch Islands and placed it in the
heavens, where it still remains tc
this day. But the natives have
a belief or tradition that the first
man and woman was made of the
earth, another tradition states tina
the first inhabitants that came te
the islands came in caroe anc
brought with them hogs, dogs, fowl.
and cats. They have tradition O
flood drowning all but few
who were saved in large vesse
called Laau and this ark or vesse
foated on the great waters and a
last rested on top Of their highes
mountains. They practiced cir
cumcision aud had houses Of re-
fuge for the slayer to flee to. They
offered sacrifices of the best they
had, and to touch dead person
I was unclean, until purified by Z
priest who performed the ceremony
and pronounced them clean. THEN
priesthood was hereditary and il
was death for males and females to
be found together at certain times.
Considering all these things it is
my belief that the Hawaiian race
was once q favored people of the
Lord and must have had the law Of
Moses and observed it's teachings
but through transgression they fell
into darkness, error and supersti-
ton, as regards the. true God,
their records lost or destroyed, not
knowing their worth, and as
time rolled on the greater became
their ignorance, until at last they
became a wild and savage nation,
as they were found to be when
christian missionaries first visited
them in 1920, and as Captain Cook
found them AZ years before. / in
quired of the natives what they
thought when they first saw Cook
and his ship? They believed the
ship to have been little (moku)
island floating on the ocean. This
was from seeing the ships rigging
and masts which they took to be
little forest and the men on board
walking Gods or in other words
walking volcanoes, as they saw fire
and smoke come out @ { their mouths
(sailors smoking their pipes.

The Dairy.


We believe that the following, which
We clip from the Albion News, will
receive confirmation, in . general way,
from all who have attentively followed
the business in Platte county. It is the
regular, steady work that tells, every
time. The JOURNAL insists that the
butter and egg business is not properly
appreciated. There is many q housewife
in the land, even those who have worked
under needless disadvantages, who has,
by the sale of butter and eggs, provided
the family with needed groceries. How
much more could they do, il the proper
facilities were supplied, and effective aid
given?
W. A. Poynter let drop a few "point-
ers" on the dairying business, the other
day, that are worthy Of serious consider
alton. Speaking in general way Of
that industry in Nebraska, he said:
''Our people can not engage in any
occupation Of an agricultural nature
which will begin to yield the profit for
money and labor expended that this
does. Nebraska butter in quality and
flavor is the best in the world, and in
price tops the market. As soon as the
people can get rid Of the idea that butter
cannot be profitably made without the
tame grasses, just that soon they will get
more good COWS and make the dairy bus
iness paramount to that Of grain raising.
One acre OF corn will make more feed
than four acres of tame grasses for fall
and winter use, and for summer use more
than a much larger number of acres of
wild pasture"
Mr.. POINTER made last fall silo and
filed it as an experiment. He opened it
not long since and foand the ensilage in
perfect condition. From nineteen acres
OF corn, il We remember correctly, he
sliced forty tons. His "baby" creamery
has paid him a fair profit during these
hard times, and he expects to enlarge
the capacity of his plant whenever the
supply of milk will warrant the outlay.
Mr.. Poynter also stated some facts
which should be an eye opener to think
ing people. One of his patrons during
the year 1895 owned eight COWS and sold
milk to the amount of $lS5. He also
raised eight calves, worth $GO, and had
all the butter and milk needed for family
use, worth at least S25, making grand
total of $245 in one year from the eight
COWS or S33.75 for each COW. These cows
were only ordinary animals and had no
extra feed. This is but part of the story.
The same man worked half section of
land. He hired one man and paid him
$1lO. He sold all his crops, except
enough for seed and feed, and realized
from this source S23O Mr.. Poynter
says that several of his neighbOrs had
about the same experience. Now figure
the difference in the profit on the two
methods, then decide how long you will
try to get rich by raising grain to sell.
Another important statement Mr..
POynter made, to show what business is
most profitable for the farmer, was that
last winter not single patron Of his
dairy asked or received dollars worth
OF aid from any source. Facts and
figures speak very significantly-inves-
tigate them.

That ''There is nothing new under the

Especially is this true as regards the
new composite cars now operated daily

These handsome Buffet Smoking and
Library Cars are entirely new through

improvements, and are we'll supplied
with writing material, the leading daily

commend itself to ALL

ing another race for congress has had
the opposite effect from what many con.
jectured. and instead of suppressing the
desire others have felt to preside few

A we'll known Nebraska politician, the
other day referring to the local political
situation of the state of Nebraska, made
the surprising statement that Congress
man Eugene J. Hainer had his eye on the
position of governor for this state. That
he anticipated a bitter fight between
Aeiklejohn, MacColl, Eugene Moore, C.
l. Richards and others, who are openly
candidates for the gubernatorial position,
in which event he might be able to take
q position in the race as dark horse.
Hainer, at one time in his career, was
not regarded as being very orthodox, SO
far as his republicanism went, but his
course recently has brought him into
favor in the South Platte country, and
being very ambitious, he has his eye not
only ON the governorship, but upon the
position now occupied by Senator Will
liam v. Allen. Speaker Richards wants
to succeed Hainer at Washington, and,
according to this politician, he may he
counted upon to assist Hainer in secur-
ing the nomination for governor in the
event of q fight between the candidates
mentioned. Iii particularly we'll known
that Hainer advised Congressman Mel
klejohn not to make the race at this time,
possibly seeing in his colleague a most
dangerous candidate for that position.
There is every prospect that the fight
will be an exceedingly interesting one,
and should the candidates mentioned
above fail in securing enough votes to
nominate, there is no telling what q dark
hnrna 0f Hainer's StAmD might do
