ON GARDEN ISLE

George II. Fairchild, manager of the
Makee Sugar Co., is in town. Speak.
ing of the mild winter to an Adver-
tiser reporter, Mr. Fairchild said 1t
was making n remarkable difference
in the growth of sugar cane on Kauai
Last winter when 1t was much cold
er the growth of the cane was not more
than about two inches month";" Mr..
Fairchild stated, while this winter it
Is from twelve to fifteen inches"
To the remark that, in what was
called "a cold snap" in Honolulu re-
Gently, the temperature was only in the
sixties, or fully ten degrees higher
than the lowest record, Mr.. Fairchild
remarked:
Ten degrees more heat in winter
means hundreds OF thousands of dol
lars to the sugar industry.
eve have had plenty of rain on Ka-
uai, but the rains have not been hard.
They have done no damage as in other
winters"
Mr. Fairchild, who Is one of the elect
ed county supervisors for Kauai, called

The month closed with continued vol
canic activity, that of Mauna Loa's
summit crater, Mokuaweoweo, was re-
ported at the end of the month as be-
ing about the same as when first Wis.
tied in October. The crater of Hale
maumau in Kilauea, was discovered in
eruption at 2:3O a. m. of the 25th, and
activity has since continued The lava
lake at the end of the month was re-
ported as being 300 by 1875 feet in size
and not more than $50 feet from the
crater's summit. This crater is 1.95
miles wide and 2.93 miles long, contain
ing an area of Ala square miles or 1850
acres. Mokuaweoweo's dimensions were
given in the October summary.
There have been no earthquakes re-
ported to this office, but newspaper
report gives one in the Kona and Kau
districts on the 18th, followed by in
creased activity of Mokuaweoweo, and
the steamer Mauna Loa reports dis
turbance of the sea while the vessel
was at anchor off Punaluu, Hawaii, on
the 18th. The sea suddenly became
churned up and disturbed to sucn an
extent as to capsiZe one of the ships
boats lying along side, throwing its
Occupants into the water, where, though
they We're natives, they maintained
themselves with difficulty, and the ship
itself was swung around from it's for
mer position. This disturbance is re-
ported as lasting ten minutes. Later in
the day a huge black cloud was seen
to belch from the summit crater, fol-
lowed by the usual column of white
smoke and steam. High seas in the
channels and heavy surf along the
windward coasts have been the rule.
Tidal waves We're reported from Pele-
kunu, Molokai Kahului and Honoko-
hau, Maui, on the Goth. At the latter
place one wave rose to "A height of 80

A Cure for Rheumatism.

Alhambra, ILL.,, Mar. 23rd:-Physicians are
much puzzled over the case OF Mr.. +. J. 0s-
wald, Of this place. Mr. Oswald suffered
much with Rheumatism and was treated by
doctor after doctor with the result that he
got no better whatever. They seemed un-
able to do anything for him and he contin-
ued to suffer till he heard Of Dodd's Kidney
Pills.
Mr. Oswald began treatment of this
remedy which very soon did for him what
the doctors had failed to do, and they cannot
understand it.
This is the same remedy that cured Hon.
Fred A. Busse, our State Treasurer, of a
very severe case Of Rheumatism some years
ago, and which has since had an unbroken
record of success in curing all forms Of
Rheumatism and Kidney Trouble.
There seems to be no case of these pain
ful diseases that Dodd's Kidney Pills will
not cure promptly and permanently.

A half-hour later Mr. Blinks, still
chewing bis mustache, was sitting in a
small and cozily appointed parlor
awaiting the arrival VI five feet moth

her time and the young man in his
nervous tension suffered accordingly.
Seconds seemed MINUTES and minutes
seemed hours while still he waited. At
last the rustic OF dress was heard and
she whom he awaited appeared.
Mr.. Blinks said to himself that he
dared not wait lest be should fall by
the wayside. So he drew a long breath,
summoned courage from the deep and
hidden recesses Of his nature and, al
most before the young lady fairly was
seated, took the decisive plunge.
"Mary," said the young man, as he
neryed himself TO the effort, "you must
ere now have observed the condition

Ser That Knows No sleep.

The mortgage Is a self-supportlng In,
stitution. IL always holds Its own.
II calls for just as many dollars when
grain Is cheap as when grain is dear.
IL Is not affected by the drought. II
Is not drowned out by the heavy rains
IL never winter kills Late springs
and early frosts never trouble II. Po-
tato bugs do not disturb It. Moth and
rust do not destroy It. Itgrows nights,
Sundays, rainy days and even holidays.
IL brings o sure crop every year, and
sometimes twice year. II produces
cash every time. II does not have to
wait for the market 10 advance. II is
not subject TO speculations Of the bulls
aud bears on the board OF trade. II Is
load that gals and frets and ehafes.
II Is burden that the farmer cannot
shake Oft. II Is with him morning,
noon and night. II eats with him at the
table. 1t gets under his pillow when
he sleeps, II rides upon his shoulders
during the day. IL ltconsumes his grain
crop. II devours bis cattle. IL selects
the finest horses and the fattest steers.
II lives upon the first fruit Of the sea-
son. II stalks into the dairy where the
busy housewife tolls day after day
and month after month and takes the
incest cheese and the choicest butter,
IL shares the childrens bread and robs
them Of their clothes. II stoops the
toiler's back with lis remorseless bur-
den OF care. II hardens his hands, be.
