AND THE
COURT CLERKSHIP
SAID TO BE A NUMBER OF AS
PIRANTS FOR THE CIRCUIT
COURT CLERKSHIP.

WAILUKU, April 23-Judge Kepoi-
kai arrived from Honolulu on We'd
uesday morning and now awaits his
commission to act as Judge of the
Second Circuit. The question as to
who will be his clerk, has been the sub
ject of much discussion during the
week. Kepoikai stated that he would
leave the matter in the hands of the
Executive Committee of the Republican
party on Maui. 1t is rumored that w.
]. Coelho, ]. N K. Keola and w. II.
Cornwell are in the field for the posi-
ton, but the fact that they are appli-
Cants has not been confirmed. CoelhO
has been clerk of Judge Kalua's court
since Crook was elected County Auditor
on the Home Rule ticket. 1t is stated
that Keola is an aspirant for the place
on account of the action of the Legis-
lature in placing Deputy Tax Assessors
under salary, instead of a commission
basis as heretofore. w. II. Cornwell
would be endorsed by many, but the
fact that he is a Home Ruler. will prob
ably prevent him from getting the posi-
ton. So far no action has been taken
by the Republican party to recommend
some person to Kepoikai.

charge of the construction of the new
army post at the Kahauiki reservation.
About $4,000 Is to be spent by the War
Department I'm establishing a military
reservation on this tract.
The retirement of Captain William
son from duty at Honolulu will be the
cause of much regret He has always
co-operated with the commercial bodies
i'm the interests of Honolulu and it was
largely through his influence and rec
concentrations that the army trans
ports were ordered to call at Honolulu
on both the outward and homeward
trips.

Lion Signs In England,

In the middle ages the country houses
OF the nobility in England when the
owners We're absent We're used as hos
tells for travellers. The family arms al
ways hung in front of the house, and
gave 1t popular name among travel
ers, who called lion "gules" or azure
simply red" or blue" AS these were
intimations Of good cheer and enter
tainment, innkeepers adopted the idea,
Lions have always been, and are
now, very favorite signs In England;
lions white, black. red, brown, golden,
yelow-red being the most common,
Probably the Red Lion originated
with the badge Of John of Gaunt, duke
OF Lancaster, who married the daugE-
ter of Don Pedro, king of Leon and
CASTLE, and who adopted the lion. ram
pant gules Of Leon to represent his
claim to the throne. Under Richard
and John lions became the settled
arms of England. and were generally
used by those who could find any
claim.

There were ten men after evcrys piece

to this, there will be times when this

AS TO SEED CORN.

Throughout the corn belt there was
last spring vigorous effort made BY
some Of the agricultural experiment
stations to instruct the growers Of corn
in regard to their seed corn, its selec-
ton, planting, etc. While much good
was thus no doubt accomplished, the
right time 20 do this sort Of work is In
the fall of the year, at the time when
the seed corn should be gathered from
the field. Once knowing what to sex
lect for seed, the winter care Of It IS
really simple matter, bearing In mind
the fact we have heretofore noted In
these columns-that to insure a perfect
termination Of seed corn it should ba
picked before frost and kept where II
will not freeze until planted, for 1t ia
frost which is the principal destroyer
Of the vitality Of seed corn.

THE END OF ONE TRUST.

Uncle Sam can bust almost any trust
If he only would. What he can do in
this line was well Illustrated in the
Philippine Islands last fall. A drought
cut the rice crop of the islands short.
Spectators bought up all the rice in
sight and proposed to make pile of
money even If the natives starved I'd
death. Uncle Sam got on to their
game and sent his agents to China, JaI
pan and other rice growing countries
and bought 100000 worth OF rice!
placing it on sale at fair price. The
corner busted at once, and its makers
We're ruined.

ALcoHoL For POWER.

making of alcohol for power purposes.
This alcohol is produced for about a

when the waste fruits and sweets as
well as potatoes and cereals Will be-
used in this country for the same pur-
pose, alcohol furnishing the most easily
obtained and cheapest power in the
world. One thing, however, is at pres-
ent needed, and that Is some process
whereby such alcohol can be made IN

We often wonder why it is when
boys are SO anxious to shoot something
they do not get bow and arrows and
shoot the pesky sparrows. These birds
are SO tame that one may approach
within few feet Of them, and boy
could soon learn to use his bow and
arrow on them with good effect, and,
they would not be frightened away as
when gun is used. This plan would
give the boy chance to play the
hunter and at the same time be doing
some good for his community. :,
