Major Clarence +. DuttOn OF the
United States army IN his book on
earthquakes says: Great earthquakes
come without any ineligible warning.

been preceded In a considerable num-
Der Of instances by minor shocks and

HOW BOhLU LU FOLK
EVAOED SUNDAYS HEAT
Continued from Page ~

+: The homesteaders have in most in
stances got to work early and wooden
structures are springing up like mush-
| rooms. Some of these have already

eloquently testified to by the columns
prosaic stovepipes to finally lose them
selves in the poetical valley haze.
Yesterday many visitors, despite the
slippery state of the trails explored the
distant recesses of the valley, some not
desisting from their tramp until the
remarkable crater of Palolo was reach
ed.
Besides the air and the exercise there
pedestrian which make his jaunt well
worth while.
There are fern and fragrant MALE
TO be had for the gathering-always
where to look for them: and there are
wild bananas and luscious mountain
apples which prove a rich reward to
the tired and travel-stained finder.
And over and above all there is the
untrammeled freedom of the valley and
the proximity to nature in her dearest
and rarest forms.
Sometimes the sky bursts blue over
head and sometimes the fieecy clouds
seem to trip over the guardian PIN
nacles of the mountains and to tumble
headlong down the kukui covered
slopes.
Rainbows would seem to be born in
the valley and the day when one is not
visible is a rarity. Occasionally, when
the moon is wearing toward the full,
the beautiful lunar rainbow is in
ghostly evidence-an unearthly phe-
nomenon and one, to the superstitious
mind, fraught with tokens, dire or
otherwise.
It always rains in the valley, fresh
ening, fattening showers which seem to
descend for the mere fun of the thing
rather than with any utilitarian in
tent. The water problem has no ter
rors in Palolo.
When the weather is fine all is love-
~ as far the wayfarer is concerned |
Let it rain anyway heavily, however, !
Provoked by a heavy shower, the
Palolo road gives up the most tenacious
quality of mud in the world. When |
the pedestrian confronts this situation
there is nothing for it but to plod on
through a veritable slough of despond, |
and if he averages two miles progress
in an hour he is lucky.
The bicyclist facing similar condi-
lions is irretrievably lost. for the mud
clogs the gear of his machine, seeming
ly with malice aforethought, making it
alike impossible for him to proceed or
retreat.
It rained in earnest on Saturday
night, but the sun beamed benevolently
from an early hour yesterday morn
ing and the mud on the road soon
dried.
Only the fern-fringed trails remained
sodden and the passer over found his
work cut out to keep his feet.
Mud is forgotten, however. in the
superiority of Palolo Valleys other de-

For those that stayed at home
A protest I would raise.

From heights quite literary

Perforce we loaned warm clothing

And insult unto injury

Babe them go and seek his majesty,
We wished them all godspeed.

A Blow at Rockefeller.

Boston, March 21.-Congregational
ministers representing Boston and va
rious sections of New England, have
forwarded to the American board Of
commissioners for foreign missions a
protest against the acceptance by the
board of gift Of 100000 from
John D. Rockefeller. The petition,
which was prepared by committee
chosen at meeting Of the clergymen,
protests against the acceptance of the
gift on the ground that the Standard
Oh Company, Of which Mr.. Rockefel-
Ter is the head, stands before the
public under repeated and recent for
midable indictments in specific terms
for methods which are morally in
iquitous and socially destructive,
and that the acceptance of such a
gift involves the constituents Of the
board in relation implying honor to-
ward the donor, and subjects the
board to the charge Of ignoring the
moral issues involved

COTTON GROWERS EN1BLEMs.
Buttons Being Sent Out From Atlanta
BY the Thousands.

Atlanta, Ca, March 25.-Thousands
of emb1ems Of the Southern Cotton
Association are now being worn in
every State in the South. The demand
for these emblems is exceedingly
heavy and a large Office force has been
busily employed in the emblem bureau
Of the association, filling the orders
which have been pouring in for some
time.
The Official emblem, which is being
furnished by the association for
small sum, in order to help carry out
the work Of organization, consists of
a button which is worn OH the lapel Of
the coat On the button is an exact re-
production Of a cotton bale. Above the
top Of the bale there is the statement,
.In Unity There Shall be Strength" )"
In the centre Of the bale are the let
ters, s.S. c. A." Under that is the
statement, twenty-five per cent. Re-
QuCClOu, dilu JuSL OilQSI IAAe@S @A1 ASSA
letters, eve Will Do It."
Banks all over the country are or
dering large supplies Of these buttons
for their customers, w;arehousemen,
guano factories, plow manufactures,
grocery merchants and commission
men are also purchasing them in large
numbers for distribution among their
patrons as well as individuals. Large
numbers of these emblelns are being
ordered by the county and district or
ganizatiens of the Southern Cotton
Association for the benefit Of the
members.
The button shows that the wearer
is in thorough sympathy with the
southern farmer and his fight against
the New York SPECTATORS to put down
the price Of cotton to a figure where it
means ruination to the South to pro-
duce it.
The emblem bureau, which is 10
Gated at 1920 Empire building, Allan
ia, Ca, is working day and night to
supply the big demand.

All the Row Kicked up in Boston AZ
ter Money Was Secured.

Boston, March 2s.-While the
storm of indignant protests against
the acceptance Of 100000 from John
D. Rockefeller by the American board
Of foreign missions was at its height,
nearly half of the sum had already
been accepted and is now in the treas
ury of the mission board. The fact
that s41,500 of the sum has been IN
the possession Of the board for some
time was made public today by Mr..
James L. Barton. the foreign secre-
tary. This acceptance makes it exceed
ingly doubtful that the balance will
be refused. Barton said that when the
board informed him the gift was ac-
cepted an order for the. amount now
in the treasury was at once made. The
presidents committee, which meets
at Q o'clock this afternoon is expected
to take final action on the matter.

$50, 600, 900 FOR UNIVERSITY.
Stated That John ID. Rockefeller Is
Committed to Raise That Amount
for Pet School.

Chicago, March 25.-It is believed
among a. majority Of students and
many members of the faculty Of the
University of Chicago that John D.
Rockefeller is committed to the task
Of providing fifty million dollar en-
dowment for the school. The belief is
based on a letter received from Mr..
Rockefeller last week in which he ex-
pressed the hope that Harper's life
be spared in order that he might carry
out his cherished wishes; for the ad-
vancement of the growth of the uni
versity. President Harper's cherished
hope, according to the faculty, is to
see the University endowed with $780,
600, 900, which he considers will make
it possible to complete his scheme for
a gigantic educational institution.
