STATESMEN WANT TO
TAKE A SHORT REST

There is some talk at the Capitol OF
the Legislature observing Good Friday
as it did two years ago. but the mat
Ter has not taken definite shape yet.
Indeed. there is so little time left for
work that IT seems doubtful whether
the members will want to take the holi-
day.
In the meantime. the talk of an ex-
ira session grows stronger as the time
for adjournment draws nearer. There
are but seven more days of the regular
session, counting today: OF course IL
is utterly out of the question for the
appropriation bills to be taken UP and
passed in that time. 1t is almost equal
1y out Of the question to talk of an
extension And it follows that there
will be an extra session This must
be called Immediately after the con-
clusion of the regular session-but i'm
rnediately is vague. and many of the
statesmen from outside islands would
like to be given an interval of
week or ten days to go home and get
their affairs in order before settling
down 10 legislative work again.
The appropriation bills should be put
through in two weeks. at the utmost
but they never have been, and prob
ably will not be this time. And so
statesmen must get ready for longer
siege 1t all rests with the Governor,
however. AS yet he has told nobody
what he intends to do.

No SUNDAY
LEAGUE BALL.
Punahous Were Oppos'
ed---The MidWinter
Series.

The trustees of the league baseball
grounds yesterday morning met the
representatives of the five baseball
clubs forming the association, at which
time, after long discussion, it was
unanimously agreed that new sehed
ule of games should be drawn up elm
mating Sunday games.
Those present were Trustees Isen-
berg, Whitney and Thurston. The Pu-
nahous were represented by ''Doc' -
Monsarrat, the Kams by Lemon, the
Elks by F. f. Richardson, the Males
by J. c. Cohen and the II. A. C.'s by
Pat Gleason.
Senator Isenberg stated that the
baseball league had drawn up sched-
ule of games calling for Sunday as
well as Saturday games, and that they
now desired the opinion and advice of
the trustees as to whether this sched-
ule should be carried into effect.
"Doc' Monsarrat then stated that
the Punahou club had instructed him
to say that if any games were played
by the league on Sunday, the Puma
hous would withdraw from the league,
whether they were scheduled to play
on Sunday or not.
Mr.. Lemon stated on behalf of the
Rams that their club consisted entire
" of graduates of the Kamehameha
School, and that the feelings and opin-
ion of the school people should there
fore be considered by the club-that
the Kamehameha club preferred not
to play on Sunday, but that if the
eague and trustees insisted upon Sun
lay games they would abide by such
decision.
On behalf of the Elks Mr.. Richard !
on stated it was a matter of indiffer
renee to their club whether they play !
d on Sunday or not. They would play !
N Sunday if the schedule of the league
allied for it, If the schedule called |

Mr.. Gleason on behalf of the n. A.
IS said that they would like to play
n both Saturdays and Sundays, but
-ould abide by the decision of the
,ague and trustees.
Mr.. Cohen stated that the Males
anted to play on both Sundays and
aturdays.
Mr. Tsenberg stated that he believed
Sunday baseball, but as a matter of
olicy thought that IT would be un-
'und to allow Sunday baseball on the
ague grounds this year. He thought

Plant Some Cotton.

Last year the News advocated
the planting of cotton in Ran
dali county. 1t did so because
it believed that cotton would. if
given proper attention, do we'll
here. The result of last season
has only served to strengthen
The News in its belief and while
the incentive-the price of the
staple-is not so strong as it
was, still The News would say,
plant some cotton.
If for no other reason, we
should plant some cotton, to
show the doubling Thomases
that it will grow here. 1t will
encourage the small farmer of
the south-our brethren-to
come here and make his home
with us; it will materially aid in
increasing tbeprice of our lands;
it will do its part and a good
part too in peopling the country
with industrious farmers, who,
in turn will build up our towns.
Cotton not only grows, but
does well in the plains counties
south of US and it can't help but
succeed in Randall county.
Plant some cotton this year if
its only one acre here and there
over the county for the pur.
pose Of showing what can be
done.

friends, and only rememb Der the
good points which make you

OUR FARMING FUTURE.

As outlined IN past issues of
The News, a fertile soil, favora-
Die climatic conditions and sutfi-
Gent moisture are basic condi-
tons for successful farming
operations. No two of them
will answer, but given all three
and the intelligently guided
hand OF man can do the rest.
When a man has settled him
self in country for better or
worse, as is the case with many
of US who have chosen the Plains
for a permanent abiding place,
il is always best for his financial
welfare TO adapt himself TO these
basic conditions and be- govern.
ed thereby. About two OF these
conditions there is little If any
controversy. The fertility of
the soil is unquestioned. 1t has
aud will produce abundantly all
the cereals, vegetables and
fruits grown in the temperate
zone. The climate is unsurpass-
ed-all who have experienced it
are delighted with it. The only
thing, then, needful, to make of
the Plains fine farming coun-
try is the necessary moisture or
rainfall. Settle this question
right and the farming future OF
the Plains country is assured
it will rival that of the great
prairies Of the middle western
states.
What is the rainfall on the
Plains? This is the way the
question is commonly put and
The rules governing the proper
answer are the same all over
Gods footstool. The presen.
we know, but We must judge the
future by past experience only
Now, as the statistical history
of our country-the Plains
only dates back about eleven
years We must form our judg
ment by that record.
This record OF rainfall as
shown by the governments station
at Amarillo gives an average
record, for the period named, of
% inches, most of il falling when
most needed, during the warm
growing months. Accepting
this as the past certain history
of the country, and further, lay
ing aside altogether the we'll
grounded belief that a country's
rainfall increases with its bal
tation and turning of its soil,
we may safely count on this
record repeating itself. Taking
this proposition also as true We
have for our Plains country an
average rainfall of % inches
practically assured.
Now, the main question: If
our soil be as good as the prair.
les of the middle Western states. /
and the climate equally as salts

thrive and grow great crops
with an average rainfall of less
than 90 inches, even as in the
case of western Nebraska with

With the experience of Others
as light to go by The News
has great and abiding faith in
our farming future.

quired the dusky server. The "senatah"
quickly passed up the soup plate. The
second installment fully satisfied the de-
mand. Then came the salad course, but
the Calhoun Senator made sorry ef-
fort at it.. Next came piled-up plates Of
roast turkey and other good things to
match; but, coach his stomach as he
would, 1t refused to come to time. you
