he had found out how much it cost to
the young trees, and now
charged any one who wanted the
young plants three cents apiece, the
actual cost price. Mr.. Thurston sug-
aested the adoption of such a course IN
the government nursery. Mr.. Cooper
said he believed that the free distribu-
ton should be continued. 1t was I'M
dertaken more with the idea of beauti-
flying the islands than anything else.
Besides it was impossible to obtain
from the nurserymen, different vari-
cites of plants such as could be had at
the government nursery. Mr.. Carter
suggested, that it was a question as to
whether it was business in which prl-
vate individuals should be, in Hawaii.
D. L. Van Dine of the United States
Experiment Station said he knew of no
other state that gave plants away as
is done here The United States used
all the trees and plants it raised. in
government parks.
Mr. Thurston said that he had talk
ed with Mr.. Giffard in regard to the
practice in England, and had been told
that the British government bought all
the plants it used from private nursery
men. He rather favored Mr.. Dole's
idea of charging sufficient for the
plants to pay the actual expense OF
propa CATION. The general taxpayer
should not be called upon to pay for
the identifying of one mans grounds.
Mr. Austin, who is in charge OF the
nursery, had told him of some people
who got young palms, kept them
awhile, and then sold them for nifty
cents apiece. The discussion became
general, the opinion being that the free
distribution of plants had not been al
together a success in the past. 1t was
decided finally to begin the free dis
tribution again, and by the end of a
year report upon the workings of the
system would show whether it was best
to continue Mr. Cooper was instructed
to keep a close watch upon the applica-
lions, Mr. Austin being left with dis
erection as to the distribution.
| Mr. Cooper presented a sample re-
quest from Walter McBryde for six
dozen eucalyptus trees and other
plants. Mr.. Carter was rather opposed
to granting the request, saying that a
man who attempted to reforest his
place, should do his own propagating.
Mr.. Thurston said that there were 10000
plants at the nursery and they had TO
be given away and these were the sort
of requests he thought should have the
first consideration. The request was
granted.
Mr. Cooper brought up the matter
| of an assistant for c. ]. Austin, who
has been transferred to the entomology
division under Mr.. Perkins, saying that
| it would then be possible for Mr.. Aus
tin to continue in charge of the nur-
sery and of the plant distribution. An
assistant was voted at fifty dollars per
month.
Mr. Cooper also submitted his plans
for the remodeling of the building at
the nursery. which were approved and
bids will be asked Immediately. The
building will contain general offices.
meeting room and library, offices for
the entomologists and the gardener,
| packing rooms, work room. servants
quarters, etc. There will be another
detached building for fumigating, etc.
The cost of remodeling the old build
ing will be $500 and of the new build
ing $500.

social and intellectual life Is gaining q
stronger hold on the peaple The
tests of life among many are in
social and financial success. Sport and
amusement have made great nroads on
our Sunday congregations. Below all
these influences are the lower standards
Of taste and the grosser immoralities. The
power of strong drink has Its clutch upon
our cities. their people and government;
lust is firmly ntrenched: gambling is un-
settling habits OF industry; many forms
OF temptation are undermining the char
acters OF hosts OF youths. All these
influences are potent enemies of Chris
tinn faith.
In view OF such views the Bishop de-
precated further discussion In the do

FAVOR PROPOSITION

Few things that have been brought to
the attention of the people OF the State
recently have met with the samo una
nimity as the proposition that Virginia

The Legislature has made an appro-
prIatlon OF $4,000 for an Industrial ex-

and deeply interested and enthusiastic
commissioners will make It a creditabla
one. But not one cent Of this can OF y, VIII
be used to provide n place where Vir-N
ginians may have their headquarters,

other Virginians and get their mail.
Public-spirited men. therefore. want
enough money raised by popular sub
scription for such building to be erect
ed and the plan Is to reproduce Monti-
cello, the home OF Jefferson, This is re-
garded as most appropriate. since Mr..
