A ROAST" ON MISSOURI.

There is good land and poor land in
Missouri In the southeastern section,
where I visited, it is mostly of the
latter variety. A farmer who was
just moving out told me no one be-
lieves in hell down there, because they
think it would be foolish to have two
places so much alike. Some time ago
read of a farmer near Joplin who
decided his farm to the Lord in regular
form. At first L thought he was a relig
ious crank, but since seeing the country
have concluded he was a practical
joker Some of the farmers down there
put in their crops with a ladder and
a pot of glue. They climb up both
sides of their farm and paste their
crops to it with the glue. Sometimes
a mans farm blows over like a bill
board, and then he farms it with a
mule and a double-shovel pillow. They
don't wash clothes in the crop season,
as the clothesline is in use as harness.
Other farmers plant their crops with
hip-boots and harvest them with
dredge. l really do not blame the
James boys for turning desperadoes
after northern raiders dragged their
father behind a pillow. It's enough to
harrow any ones feelings to have ones
respected father dragged over such
beastly land.-Alton (Mo), Democrat.

daily a not unfamiliar sight is the po-
liceman, or some half intoxicated
friend, pushing a drunken man toward
home, or sometimes toward the lookup.
The use of strong drink is both private
and public in Honolulu. The fact
faces US that public saloons make pub
lie drunkenness of which we have
enough to make US ashamed by the
side of China and Japan.
AS an economical questions our Off
Gals ought to take into account the
licensed saloon as a factor creating
public degeneration in morals, property
and physical health. Are we not now
sufficiently disgraced by licensed sa-
looms and public drunkenness?

1t is the duty of all parents to know
whether the eyesight of their children
is perfect or defective.
If they have complained about their
eyes, it is criminal to neglect them.
A little timely care may prevent them
from the necessity of wearing glasses
all their lives.
Picture book days start eye troubles.
A little timely attention to the eyes
of the little ones may save them much
after trouble and you sorrowful regret.

OUTLOOK FOR
TRANSPORTS

At directors meeting Of the Mer-
chants Association held yesterday aft
ernoon, Secretary P. r. Helm submit
ted the following letter from General
Humphrey, quartermaster general, con-
corning the calling of the transports at
Honolulu:
War Department, Quartermaster Cen
erals Office, Washington.
August Is, 1908.
Mr.. P. r. Helm, Secretary, Merchants
Association of Honolulu, Judd
Building, Honolulu, H. T.
Sir: Referring to your letter of June
1st, 1903, to the General Superinten-
dent, Army Transport Service at San
Francisco, California, urging that Ho-
nolulu be made a regular port Of call
for the Army Transports sailing be-
tween the United States and the Phil
ippines which has been referred to this
Office, you are respectfully informed
that the subject of making Honolulu
port of call for the Army Transports is
being considered by the Department.
One of the most important, if not
vital, questions to be considered in con-
nection with the subject is that of
procuring steam coal at Honolulu. Re-
cent advertisements inviting bids for
the supply of coal at that port result
ed in no proposals being rendered and
without the assurance that the trans
ports could be coaled at Honolulu it
would be impracticable to make that
port a regular port of call by them.
This office is in receipt of a petition
from the Honolulu Chamber of Com
merce, urging the Department to make
Honolulu a port of call for the Army
Transports, and they have been COM
municated with through their attorney,
Mr.. William Haywood of this city, by
whom the petition is presented, asking
that that-body will advise the De-
partment as to what assurance can he
given that coal can be procured in Ho-
nolulu for the Army Transports at a
fair and reasonable price in event the
transports should call regularly at that
port.
It is respectfully requested that the
Merchants Association of Honolulu
will also take this question under con-
sideration and communicate to this
office what assurances the Department
may have regarding the supply of coal
at that port. =.
Respectfully,
(Signed) c. F. HUMPHREY,
Quartermaster General, U. S. Army.
Mr.. Helm explained that the letter
from the Merchants Association noti-
flying the department of the arrange
ment made by local coal merchants
whereby they agreed to deliver coal to
the local ouartermaster at satisfac-
tory price, must have already reached
General Humphrey. His cable to the
war department with similar news ar
rived two months ago but had appar-
emily been pigeonholed in transmission
| between the two departments.
| Mr.. Helm will answer the quarter
master generals letter by the next
mail enclosing a copy of the previous
| communication. He felt confident the
more so since Captain Williamson's re-
ceipt of cable that afternoon an
nouncing the coming of the Thomas.
September s, that a regular service for
Honolulu of the calling transports
would be secured.
