BRITISH INDUSTRY
READY TO FIGHT

NEW YORK, Sept T.-Sir Christopher
Furness, the English steel and ship man
ufacturer, who arrived on the Deutsch-
land, in an interview is quoted as say
ing:
II have not come to America to form
any steamship companies or make any
deals. I have had a number of experts
over here visiting the shipyards and steel
works. 1 have their reports, and now
have come myself with the idea of i'm
proving the manufacture of steel and
building of ships in England
"As to the problem of labor unions In
England, which are said to hold the
idea that an extra output per man in
terferes with competition, labor in Eng
land, especially skilled labor, is realiz-
ing that it is for its best interest to give
up the idea of limiting the output per
man, and also is beginning to realize
that much is to be feared from competi-
ton from Germany and principally from
America.
while in America the price of labor
is higher, yet the product per man is so
much greater that labor really costs less
in the United States.
The threatened American trade and
industrial supremacy almost created a
panic at first, but We are aware of the
fact that we have been driven until our
backs are up against the wall and now
We must fight.
The idea of running steamships load
ed with cargo from Chicago to Europe 1
consider impracticable. The Lachine
canal has depth of only fourteen feet
or so, believe, and ships cannot carry
enough freight to make this scheme
profitable

BERSEEN CLOVER AND CAROB
BEAN TO GROW IN HAWAII

cutting is made within fifty days. 1t can
be cut several times, and ripens rapidly
in warm weather. expect to get enough
seed for sowing from quarter to half
an acre of land, and intend to place 1t
all in one place. Rice or taro land Is
the best for growing the clover, and the
seed will be placed with some good party
who is willing TO try the experiment
Berseen clover is a good crop TO try, but
it needs rich soil, and it must be well
irrigated.
Mr.. Fa.rchild also brought from AL
geria cuttings from the best varieties Of
the carob bean. and | have already sent
for some l have been told that there
already are trees of this species in Homo
lulu, and / would like very much to learn
where they are, so that they might be
grated with the sprouts from the inner
varieties. The poQs have commercial
value for feed. The bean Is eaten by the
peasants, and also makes good feed for
stock One tree has big yield, often
from 400 to 500 pounds of pods on a sin
gle tree. 1t is a cultivated plant in the
same sense that the orange and apple
are cultivated. but requires little care.
Il have ordered cuttings of good va
rieties which will be grated with
the trees here If l can find them. Carob
beans to the value of 300, 900 are annual
" imported at New York, and are used
considerably as a surrogate in the brew
ing of beer. The bean IS extensively cul-
tivated in Sicily, Algeria, Turkey, Greece,
and Austria, and is said to be very re-
munerative. A tree paws about five dol
lars per annum. There is no reason
why the carob bean should not be cul-
tivated with profit in the Islands. I will
have plenty of seeds. but it requires a
year or two to get sprouts big enough

The cultivation of berseen clover, a
product of Egypt. and of the carob bean
from Algeria, is to be attempted in the
Hawaiian Islands. Carob trees, other
than the algaroba variety, are already
said to be growing in Honolulu, and if
they can be found, will be grated with
the finer product of Algeria, and an at
tempt made to make the crop of some
commercial value.
David G. Fairchild, who visited Homo
lulu three years ago with Barbour La
throp, has just returned to Washington
from a tour of Egypt, and has brought
with him seeds of the clover and
sprouts from the Carob trees which he
is ready to forward to Jared Smith, chief
of the Agricultural Experiment Bureau
here. upon application. Mr.. Smith was
formerly at the head of the bureau in
employed, and this, coupled with the fact
that Mr.. Fairchild made study of con-
ditions here three years ago, has led
him to make the offer that he has, he
believing that those products could be
successfully cultivated in the Islands.
Mr.. FairchiId has just come back
from Egypt said Mr.. Smith yesterday.
and has brought with him quantity
of this berseen clover. He writes that
he is willing to send me some If 1 can
place it to good advantage. Berseen
clover is the best. and the principal for
age crop of Egypt. The seed must be

our lives let US prove to our satisfaction
that there is a God. God all-wise,
God all-powerful. We will solve this by
the light of reason.
Il ask these atheists, infidels and So
called free-thinkers to stand up before
me-Gon't dodge, but stand up so that
can prove to them, and to you, the
existence of GOD. I ask them, can yo.u
see the heavens, the moon, sun, stars?
Where did this world, of which thest
are parts, come from? Did this world
make itself? Why, certainly, the world
did not make itself. A thing cannot
make itself, That is certain. A thing
must exist before 1t can do anything
Did this world come into existence by
chance or accident? Where you find
many parts working together it pre-
cludes all chance or accident There
fore the thing is designed. Therefore,
this world did not come into existence
by Chance or accident. Could this world
have received its existence by it's ma
ture? No. Why? Because the exist
ence of things is changing. We live
and we die. The nature of thing is
never changed.
There is only one way by which this
world could come into existence and
that is by creative power of some one
who could call it into existence Now
then this world was called forth by this
one. We must give name to this
creative power. Let US call it God
