Oahu. Much of the time Of the meet
ing was given over to general discus
sion of addresses made by the president
and the other principal speakers, perti-
nent questions being:
How can the products of the small
farmer be marketed?
How can the small farmer compete
with the Chinese huckster?
Both questions We're answered in a
way TO indicate that quality and va
riety would solve the first, and duality,
variety and price the second
Jared Smith gave an excellent ad-
dress in part as follows:
In Hawaii farmers are exceedingly
few, but there is, nevertheless. q very
general interest in all matters pertain
ing 10 the growing of plants Or the
raising OF animals. The highest indus
trial development of Hawaii is q sub
5ect in which all here cannot help but
be interested. Whether we be kamaai-
ma or maHhini, native-born or carpet
Dagger, all alike must nave faith in the
future of the islands. Thus far the ag-
ricultural development of the island
group has been one-sided. The COM
inunity has been standing on one leg
and that leg has been developed to far
greater proportions than the rest of
the body. If sugar is prosperous the 1
community fattens. II sugar declines
We all become lean and hungry. There
are still 1.5o0.o 600 acres of uncultivated
arabic land, much of 1t virgin. and this
1 believe capable of supporting an ad-
ditional population of 200, 900 souls. 1t
IS necessary, If Hawaii is to get out of
the habit of standing on one leg that
there be an influx of American farmers.
Let the people OF Hawaii get together
and work to Secure immigration.

be turned into cash?" inquired one OF
| the audience. Mr. BuchhoItz replied
that he had come only to tell of Kona's

great trouble in selling was the desire
of the Honolulu middleman TO make
I money too fast
Another gentleman said one feature
of the agricultural development of the
Islands was the presence of the China
man. He thought the white farmer
cannot compete with him. He had
heard small farmer talk for eleven
years, but until this question was soiv-
ed he thought the possibilities would
be limited.
Mr.. Ross of Kamehameha differed
from the dissenter. The small white
farmers could compete profftably One

his products in an unattractiVe and
shoddy form. Truck grown at Kane

civilized person would prefer TO buy
from a white farmer if the price was
the same.

Searching for Truth. Written by an
Anonymous business man Published
BY Peter EclkIes. New York. sL5O.

Searching for Truth Is g book
oe philosophical and metaphysi-
cal nature which may create considerable
stir in religious circles. It is, SO far as
we are aware the first book Of its kind.
The preface tells US that an American
business man, who. Gor reasons Of his
own, prefers to remain anonymous. has
devoted his leisure time for ten years In
studying the subjects OF which the book
treats He has gone about his work in
business like way. taking nothing for
granted, accepting no creed and admitting
no religious fact unless the weight of
the evidence was in its favor. The book
deals more particularly with the history
Of the Christian religion and its princi-
pies. II IS not to be recommended to
men and women whose faith Is not firmly
founded in thei religion, but Father to
free thinkers" of the most aggressive
character. In fact the plain, blunt
manner in which the author sets down
the truth as he finds It. is sometimes
rather startling. The whole work is
one of higher criticism runninga-
muck.
