a white-haired man and woman go
hand in hand adown the slope of life.
When the Fourth of July comes she
lifts brown eyes upward to him and
says: Let's hang out the old flag,

from its hiding place. The passers-by

AN EDITOR ON BARKING DOGS.

We've just one opinion of barking
dog, be he small or great, pet or a
brute-his bark should be promptly
amputated, right behind his ears.
An angry driver stopped his excited
horse in front of house here recently
after the dear family dog had howled
and jumped at the animal for a few
hundred feet, and said, in a not unkind-
ly way either: isn't there some way
you can stop this. | drive past here
very often, and my horse is so afraid
of your dog that he begins to culver
all over the minute I enter the street.
Can't you stop it?" And the owner
of the dog very calmly said he didn't
see any way.
The driver says that the house is
on the trolly line, and that a motor.
man who has killed about all the bark
ing dogs on the street says he will
gamble that he'll nab this one under
the wheels before summer is past.
Meantime the driver, being a peaceful
sort of citizen and not handy with a
gun. has given up driving through the
street.

Chicago, June 25.-At the afternoon

Marine commission listened to the ar

lean merchant marine. w. l.. Brown,
president of the American Shipbuild-
ing company, told the commission of
the. prosperous condition of ship COM
merce on the great lakes and gave for
a reason of this prosperity the lack
of competition by foreign vessels and
the improved facilities for handling
freight. Mr.. Brown said he thought
the coast marines might be able to
compete with foreign vessels IL they
could be protected by a subsidy bill
until such facilities might be built for
the handling of freight as are in por-
ton of the great lakes. James A.
Patten, commission merchant, spoke
against the ship subsidy declaring that
such thing once started would have
to be kept up continually. The COM

RECLAIMlNG THE ARID LANDS

After a little less than two years of
planning and preliminary work the De-
partment of the Interior has issued Z
statement outlining the disposition of
the fund for reclaiming the arid lands
of the West, which leaves no room for
doubt as to the success and value of
the undertaking. Twenty seven mil
lion dollars will be expended during
the next two or three years, and when
the work of construction is completed
there will have been redeemed a mil
lion acres of land, capable of support
ing a population of half million. AS
the reclamation project is made self
perpetuative by the law the work will
go on as long as irrigation is com
mercially profitable. Congress in all
its history has done little Of farther

ment of this promising scheme for
utilizing the country's desert lands.
The Government appears in the mat,

land at what it costs to redeem it. so

And made dash away

Where smoke was hanging low?

To see it waving there.

Which set our hearts aglow,
The grand parade, the games we played,

GOLF.

Owing to the wet weather on Nov
ember 81 the fifth tournament for the
Haleiwa challenge cup was postponed
until today. The continuous rains of
Sunday and Monday have softened the
greens on the Haleiwa links for the
first time since they have been a
factor in Hawaiian golf. As result
the roller has been used to advantage
and those going down on Saturday
will find the pretty links in far better
shape than they ever have been be-
fore.
AS Fred Church, owing to his accep-
lance of the Hawaiian Hotel manage
nient, will only be at Haleiwa for a
few weeks longer this will be the last
tournament that is held under his aus
pices. The indications are that large
crowd of golfers will go down to join
in the competition and also give
Church a farewell 'sendoff."
