PREFER ITALIANS
TO NEGROES

With a demand for 1000, 600 laborers
In the cotton fields and in the factories,
the South is turning its attention to
the possibilities of Italian labor and
revising opinion of the desirability of
the sons of Italy as permanent citizens.
Some years ago the Malta Society OPP
4erated to a considerable extent in
several Southern cities. and since then
there has been a prejudice against
Italians in general. This feeling is be-
ing very rapidly dissipated. italian
colonies, engaged in rice cultivation in
Louisiana and Texas, have prospered
so splendidly and have shown such
adaptability to conditions in the South
that there is now on foot a very Wig
orors effort to secure immigration from
Italy to the farms and plantations of
the South. Large Numbers of Italians
have already arranged to locate in the
South, coming direct from Italy, but
as they will not arrive until next
month they Will be too late to take
any active part in the cotton picking
this year. 1t is expected, however, that
by another year the Italians will be
there in such numbers that the labor
problem in the cotton belt will be in
a fair way toward solution.

TOXIC, July 1S.-Tokio swelters in
midsummer heat while a never end
ing row of living pictures passes in
review. There is a steady outpouring
of men. men, men. great guns, horses,
munitions of war, Red Cross supply
trains and nurses, moving silently,
mostly under cover of night. Some
times we see these things, but oftener
hear of them from one whose father,
husband or son has gone; only a
chance remark uttered with a smile:
"Oh, yes, he has gone. 1 am glad.
He must give his life. You know Port
Arthur must falll'
Thus the great war drama crowds
the stage and upon it's victory, its
tragedy, it's deeds of daring, the cur
tain never falls.
Mingled with these living pictures of
seething twentieth century life are
visions of the past. legends on which
the spirit of Japan is founded today.
The story books for children re-
habilitate the fighting men of the en-
pire with the same Samurai spirit that
produced the heroes of feudal times.
And there is not a schoolboy in Japan
today too young to recognize Kato
Kiyomasa or a Eideyoshi, though dis
gufsed as an Oyama or a Togo.
When Iyeyasu captured the Osaka
castle from Hideyori and Lady Yodo.
he found there 800 ingots of gold hav-

gold he bequeathed to his second son,

chiefs, with the injunction that it
should be kept for use in national
emergency.

MORE PESTS
IN FRUITS
Ravaging Larvae in APP
pies and Sand
Pears.

Besides the Goblin moth larvae re-
ported by Mr.. Lyon to Entomologist
Craw as found by him in an apple, the
department is on the trail of another
menace in the shape of larvae from
Japan that seem closely allied to the
apple preserved pest.
This menace was discovered in the
baggage of a Japanese immigrant on
the Korea, the purser first hearing of
II and reporting it. Three larvae were
found imbedded in sand-pear, fruit
not unlike an apple in appearance. OF
gritty and somewhat sweet substance,
much liked by Japanese, but not on
the local market. The sand-pear is now
IN formalin and the larvae. which re-
sembIe strongly those of the pestilent
Goblin moth, are being examined with
view to classification.
California has made desperate efforts
to avoid the Introduction of the Goblin
which is scourge to the fruit industry,
and has hitherto been successful,
though the insect has found foothold in
British Columbia to a limited extent.
The entomologists are equally anxious
TO keep it out of Hawaii or any of it's
congeners.
The grounds of the government nur-
sery are being overhauled. The valu-
able trees are being given more room
while duplicates and those which mere
ly numbered the ground with no value
as specimens have been eliminated
This will lead up to the establishment
OF new lawns besides creating vistas
that display the many rare varieties to
excellent advantage. The outer fence,
so long whitewashed, has been painted
a more suitable shade of green.

shout -'Banzai!" at the sight of a SOL

sorbed in the highly colored war prints

Indeed, no scene is complete in Japa-

must be that those born in the strife

This is the time in the new calendar

food awaits their coming, before which
incense burns to drive away evil

ancient customs. for despite its melan-

of the year for the pea SAINT class,
which they celebrate by much visiting,

dish ''moehi,' and bands of children
bearing gay lanterns visit the grave

Fourth of July joliiication air; gro
tesque figures dance in the moonlight
perform remarkable tricks in the tenn
pie courts. and parade the street by
the light of many lanterns. This some
times gives the name the Festival of
Lanterns to the occasion.
Much of this display is lost in To-

festival. Before many houses gay Ian

tiny white wooden shrines. In Aoya-

In another part of the city there is
a shrine for those lost at sea or killed

loaded this year with gifts of food and

visiting throngs. To this shrine, who
can say how many spirits of heroes re-
turned this night?
