And now comes the corn shredder
in the guise of an agent of destruction,
taking it's place in the very front
rank of life destroyers, according to
Dean Henry of the college of agricul-
ture of Wisconsin. He says,"I am
convinced that more men are manned
for life by corn shredders in this
section of the county each year than
are hurt to the same degree by the
one case it is declared that seven men
were MANNED for life in three weeks
time by one corn shredder, while in
another county the same machine
killed one man and MANNED four others.

body of the girl together with many
calabashes, tapas, etc, was carried in,
the cave was sealed up again, and the
stream was once more allowed to run its

As to Kamehameha the Great, whose
remains, according to rumor, may have
been discovered by Mr.. Forbes in
Waipio Gulch, his body was taken by
Prince Hoapili and his half brother,
the high chief Ho 'olulu, and hidden in

morality and crime. In one or two
cases the plantation mule stables are
better constructed, ventilated, sanitated
and cared for than the sheds of the
laborers
Strikes and otner troubles frequently
arose through Misunderstanding, and
knowing SO well the class of people
these laborers came from in Japan and
Korea, many of whom are spoiled in the
seaports of the East before they ever
reach these shores, and knowing the un.
truthfulness of many of the so-called
plantation interpreters, Mr.. Wadman
wondered that they get along as well as
they do.
Too often these immigrants are badly
deceived by the agents in Korea and
Japan by inducements of what money
can be made here They tell a Korean
that he can make $7S a month in Ha-
waii. IF it were $7S in Korean money
it would not amount to much, but after
working here month an / drawing only
$18, American dollars, they are greatly
disappointed. That $1S represents
about what they might earn in three
months in their native land.
Referring to the japanese laborers
who come here, Mr.. Wadman said they
were mostly from Hiroshima and an
other province near by.
"THESE TWO PROVINCES HAVE
EMERGED FROM AMONG THE
VERY POOREST TO THE MOST
PROSPEROUS THROUGH THE RE-
MITTANCES SENT BACK EVERY
MONTH BY THE JAPANESE LABOR
ERS IN HAWAII,' said the pastor.
The Japanese who work here for
about $50 a month, send half of it
back to Japan for the benefit of their
parents or the education of a brother
or sister.
Still the japanese laborers are not
here to remain permanently. No man
loves his native land so much as the
japanese does his fair and beautiful
Nippon. Mr.. Wadman had talked with
hundreds of Japanese. Their desire is
to send their children back to Japan
to be educated in their own language,
for it is something of a disgrace among
them not to be able to read and write
their language fiuently. AS much as
they desire to obtain a knowledge of
the English language, they desire just
as strongly to know their own

CRYING NEED Of THE
TERRITORY ser FORTH
Pastor Wadman Gives His Views on. the Labor
ProbIem-.Backs the Advertiser---
EvangeIza alton the Keynote.

Rev. J. w. Wadman, pastor of the
Methodist Church, addressed his congre
cation last evening on the ''Most Cry.
ing Need of the Territory" He
answered the implied question by say,
ing that the greatest need was more er-
fective evangelistic work among the
alien population living in the Islands.
Incidentally, Mr.. Wedman referred to
many of the vices rampant in the
Islands, especially to the liquor and
gambling evils. The pastor took occa-
sion to say that the attitude of the Ad-
vertiser on the gambling question is
well taken, and it had borne fruit, es-
pecially on the Island of KarSi, where
the court and grand jury had recently
taken cognizance of the reign of law
lessness there and brought many OF the
violators of the law before the tribunal
of Justice.
Mr. Wadman said that the fourteen
months of his residence here had slipped
away quickly and quietly, and while he
did not pretend to know fully all the
complex factors comprising the so-called
AetpO1 pi oOANhi III tAlC 1SAouOo, SG4I1 OW1uS
to some exceptional opportunities both
in the way of travel and observation, he
had concluded to say something about
the question of the day-the crying
need of the Territory
His missionary labors had taken him
all over the Islands. and in nearly every
instance he had been well received by
all plantation managers and had been
aided IN practical manner by the ma
jority. He had mingled freely with
the japanese labOrers, acted as inter
prefer in two or three very ugly strikes,
and he had met with all the Koreans
and enrolled upward of 2000 of them as
members or probation members of the
mission, built seven chapels and opened
up twenty light mission stations ne
has also in his employ number of ma
tive Korean evangelsts.
As far as he had been able to OBJ
serve, the laborers on the plantations
are fairly well treated considering the
class of people the managers have to
deal with. The Portuguese are mucn
better housed than the Orientals. If
the same kind of cottages were built for
the japanese and Koreans, fenced in, so
as to encourage the planting of trees
and flowers, and to afford more privacy
for the women and children, he believed
the Orientals would be more self-re-

This left a net amount due All Hun

why they pay more for bananas
here than they do in San Francisco -
went on Dinklage, though Lord knows
the commission people get their price
for the fruit. PeddIars have to pay 81
, to $1.25 per bunch and stores pay from
$50 to s1.75 for choice fruit. They see
what they are getting, however, while
the commission agent is, to certain
extent, buying a pig in a poke and
under the circumstances can not, OF
course, afford to be too liberal.
"I'n tell you what I'll do. If local
dealers want bananas I'll supply them
with from 60 to 20 punches month, at
30c. for six-hand and 35c. for seven
hand lunches And that means deliv-
cred to the store and packed for ship
ment or otherwise
And Dfnklage's talk is good talk and
strengthens the case IOF the dCHulSi LIO1
of a local boat or even two as quickly
as possible. By this means the ruinous
question of freight will be satisfactorily
answered and one of the shippers OBJ
stacles to success in his enterprise re-
moved.
A fruit exchange run in the interests
of the banana producers, and from this
end of the line, would be instrumental
in smoothing away other difficulties
which beset profitable banana shipping
at present. This and a local steamer
would make the lot of the banana raiser
in Hawaii a happy one. Nothing else
will or can.
The industry is an important and
ever-g growing one. At present from 15,-
600 TO 10000 punches Of bananas are
shipped to the Coast from Hawaii every
month and ever the cry goes up for
more.

what caused the police to come on the
