CONVENTION
IN HONOLULU
REPUBLICANS WILL MEET IN
HONOLULU.
Hilo Voted Down BY Twelve 70 Seven
-Hilo Trip Too Expensive For the
Delegates.

The Republican Territorial Central
Committee last night decided to hold
the Territorial convention in Honolu-
lu, opening on Monday, September 1.
The vote was taken by roll call, on the
question Of choosing Honolulu or Hilo,
and there were seven votes for HilO
and twelve for Honolulu.
The votes for Hilo were those of Nc
Stocker, Ridgeway, Estep, Waipuiani,
Kahaulelio, Hubby and Brandt. Those
who voted for Honolulu were Reuter-,
Mccain, Atkinson, Towse, Cooke,
Fisher, Jones, Renton, Winston, San
dow, Palmer, Willard
Those present in person at the meet
ing were: Robertson Fisher, Crabbe,
Jones, Cooke, McCandless, ToHsp.
Winston, Hubby and Waterhouse. BY
proxy: McStocker of Olaa, by Fisher;
Ridgewa O, it.r u o.. s,rp IF
Honokaa, by Crabbe; Kahaulelio Of
PukoO, by Cooke, l. Iter Of llama, by
Cooke; Mccain Of Lahaina, by No
Candless RentOn of HONOLULU by
Hubby; Sandow of Wamcd, by Wa
terhouse; Brandt of Wa!mrl by Fish
er; Willard of Lihue, by Robertson,
and Atkinson, by Craobe.
j, p. Cooke read letters from Hawaii
men on the subject of the place for
holding the convention. J.T. Stacker
wrote that he thought it would d. the
party good to hold the ga herring in
Hilo. He said there-would be no diff
Guilty in getting a hall and other ac-
commodations. Stacker remarked al
so that some Republicans of Hilo
thought the party should endorse
Cupid, as means of defeating Will
cox.
a. b. Loebenstein favored Hilo,
claiming that it had been promised the
convention, and adding that it was far
from the scene of fractional strife. Fl.
p. Baldwin was opposed to HilO be-
cause the Oahu and Kauai delegates
would have to make too expensive q
trip to get there. Honolulu was
shorter trip in the matter of time for
the delegates from Kona and Kau, said
Baldwin.
MCCandless proposed opening the
convention at nine in the morning, but
the motion of Crabbe to open at ten
was carried.
After the meeting of the central COM
mittee, there was a session of the exc
cutive committee, at which campaign
plans were discussed.

PORTO RICAN CoFFEE.

SAN JUAN porto Rico), July 12.-
The merchants here are alarmed at
adVices from France foreshadowing
the possible imposition of a prohibit
tive tariff on Porto Rican coffee. The
Chamber of Commerce has cabled to
Washington urging that action be taxi
en- in the matter, as France is the only
foreign market open to Porto Rican
fee-growers.
WASHINGTON, July 12.-Oficials
here express doubt that France would
discriminate against Porto Rican cof-
fee, as it would violate the favored
nation clause of the existing CONNER
cial treaty between the United States
and France. The French Government,
it is pointed out, is very anxious to
have the reciprocity treaty between
the two countries ratified, and this is
cited by Administration officials here
as another reason why the alleged pro-
posed discrimination is unlikely.

THE DEMOCRATS.

The Democrats at a meeting held at
Waverley Hall last night inaugurated
plans for a thorough canvas and enroll
ment of the Democrats of Oahu and
Honolulu. This work is to be done by
volunteers. When this work is well
started it is the purpose to extend it
to the other Islands of the Territory.
1t is the expectation that the Demo-
Gratis on the other islands will take up
this work themselves. The hope is to
obtain a complete enrolment Of Demo-
Gratis by the time the campaign really
opens.

Seeding the Wheat Crop.

Preparation of the land for fall SOW
ing of wheat should be done early, so
as to allow late weeds to start which
can be destroyed with the harrow. The
soil for wheat should be very clean.
One that has been in clover and fol
lowed with corn is suitable, for the
reason that the thorough cultivation
required by corn keeps down the weeds
and grass. 1t is not an easy matter to
kill weeds after the wheat is up, and
the preparation of the ground the pre-
vious season is of great Importance.
The seed bed for wheat should not
only be deep but fine. In fact, the
pulverization of the soil should be the
main object. and the final and more
complete it is the better the growth of
the crop. In drilling the seed the
practice is to apply the fertilizer with
the seed, but the broadcast method is
also preferred by some, as the fertilizer
is then more evenly distributed. If
stable manure is used 1t should be well
rotted, spread uniformly, and then
worked into the soil with the harrow.
Such preparation mingles the manure
with the soil, and does much to give
the crop uniformity of growth 1t
should not be overlooked that there are
deDresslons in most fields, and water
often remains longer on such places
than any where else, which necessi-
tates drainage; but if this cannot be
done deep plowing should be practiced,
which assists materially in allowing
the surplus moisture to pass down
ward On all farms from which milk
is sold the manure will contain larger
proportion of potash than of nitrogen
or phosphoric acid, and on such fields
the ordinary superphosphates should
be used, along with proportion of
nitrate Of soda. Wheat on sandy soils.
or, rather, those that are light, demand
fertilizers containing more potash than
the wheat grown on the heavier soils.
but nitrogen and phosphoric acid are
indispensable under all conditions.
The seed should consist only of the
best and plumpest grains, and from
variety that heads well on stiff
straw. One fault is seeding too thick.
ly Wheat stools" and single grain,
therefore, gives many stalks, thus en-
abling Of only a small quantity of seed
being used; for it is well known that
the more space for growth that can be
allowed each seed the more vigorous
and productive 1t will be after it has
begun to grow. In some countries
the wheat is planted" instead of be-
Ing sown, at regular intervals of dis
tance, and the yield is always greater
than by any other system, but the
ground Is first made very rich and its
preparation is complete. In the spring,
when the wheat looks sickly after a
hard winter, an application OF 100
pounds Of saitpetre nitrate of soda)
TO the acre win give 1t new life, push
ing it forward rapidly and largely In
creasing the yield. At the present time
the first duty is 20 thoroughly prepare
the soil, which If well done win add
much TO the termination OF the seods
and the uniform growth OF the plants
after they once get started. Philadel-

Collecting Transfers n Fad.

The boys who used to collect stamps
and coins are now bending their erer-
gies to making a collection OF street.
car transfers. This is the latest fad.
1t has superseded even the one for
crests and monograms off of letters.
The small boy who has transfer
from New York, Chicago, St. Louis,
Detroit, or any other OF the larger
cities, is regarded with envy by his fel-
lows. If he has one from any OF the
European cities he is hero OF the
highest type.
Sometimes the transfers exhibited in
scrap-books are not as immaculate as
they might be, and the reason for this.
it is whispered, is that they are often
times picked up out OF the gutter in a
very disreputable condition. Then they
are taken home and washed off, but
they always show signs OF their con-
tact with this wicked world, though
that doesn't make them any the less
valuable to their young owners.

Dust is the first and natural remedy
for body lice. Left to herself, the
mother hen will dust her chicks by
getting her own feathers filled with
dust and then calling her little ones
under her. Dry road dust, fine ground
tobacco, Persian insect powder, in
fact, any fine dry particles will kill the
lice If worked into the small breathing
tubes Of the insects. There are many
good insect powders on the markets.
You can make your own If you wish to
do so. Take one pint air Stacked lime
and stir into it one ounce liquid car
bollc acid. Add to this mixture three
pounds finely ground tobacco, and mix
thoroughly. This powder busted wher-
ever lice are viii kill them. Then re-
member that there are q number OF
eggs due to hatch in n few days, and so
dust every week until you get rid Of
them.
Persian insect powder does the best
work on quito younk chicks. This
must be less than year old, as the
virtue escapes with age. Have the
hatching hens free from lice, brood
where lice have not been introduced,
and you will seldom have trouble.
Provide real dust bath for the
chicks where they can dust themselves,
but do not trust too much to it if you
know there are lice on your chicks.

What Her Father Was.

Recently she was heard talking with
a group OF playmates. The little girls
were evidently discussing their fathers.
My fathers a minister" said one
little girl. "He came from Kentucky,
and he's a Christian"
My fathers in Office said a second
child. Il don't know where he came
from, but guess everybody in Office
is Christian"
This brought the subject up to the
little girl OF Indiana parentage. 1t hap
pens that her iather had father who
made it possible for the former gentle
man to live without any occupation.
However, she couldn't let the other
girls brag OF their fathers without put
ting in some word for her own.

she said, proudly, "and he's huckster,
and that's why"
