Letter to H. w. Nixon.
Scotland Neck, n. G..

Dear Sir: You know, diamonds
don't 60 by size. So with paint.
We make paint, one gallon of which
goes as far as two OF another and lasts
twice az long: that's four to ono.
You know it is true in diamonds
they don't 60 by the gallon, do they?
If you're going to paint your house,
you go first to your painter and say
''I'm going to paint; do you want the
Job p and what'll 1t COST"
II he happens to know, he'll say :
depends on the paint. [ can do it
for somewhere about 500 or 5000,
whichever you like; 800 will make
good job 5000 poor one"
And you, 1t you happen to have
your wits, II say "I'll take the good
one, whenlI you do IT."
Painters ought, all, to know about
paint and jewellers ought to be able
to get good job. We do what we can
to help both.
One gallon Devoe is better than two
of average paint, goes as far-that is,
your house will take about 20 gallons
Deyoe and 40 of average paint-and
Devoe will last long time the life Of
average paint is very uncertain, it may
be year, it may be five.
Why is it that painters don't know
about paint? Do jewelers. know about
diamonds? They know more than
they tell sometimes. There are paint
ers and painters so there are jewelers. !;
so there is paint, and the least-gallons
paint is Devoe.
Yours truly,
F. w. DEVOE & CO.,

CATERPILLAR PEST
INlFIJI. ISLANDS
CATERPILLAR PEST is running
/. CANE FIELDS OF FIJI-MUIR'S
REMEDY FOR LEAF -HOPPERS.

In connection with the caterpillar
pest, which is now devastating the
cane fields of Fiji Mr.. Muir who is in
Fiji collecting data for the Sugar Plant
the leaf-hopper, recommends that on
all small plantations a knapsack spray
er should be kept for spraying all
plants infected with blight or insect
pests Paris Green or some other pois-
onOus mixture being used where a more
particular known remedy is not avail
able.
The planters at Ba and Tavua have
for sometime past been suffering from
a plague of caterpillars, says the West
ern Pacific Herald They are small, of
a black color with light patches, and
from half an inch to two inches in
length. They have been in the country
for some time but never in such
quantities as to do any appreciabe
damage. After the long spell of drought
the heavy rains have come, and with
the rain has appeared swarms of cater
pillars They appeared first at Tawa-
rau and Ba, attacking the young cane
At Ba the damage was so great that
the women i'm the field We're set at
work picking the caterpillars off the
young cane. From Ba it has worked
its way to Tavua, and on some estates
! there it has done great damage All
the young maize-and there We're about
100 acres i'm all-has been eaten COM
pletely off. Hundreds of caterpillars
would be seen feeding on a single
maize, which was planted early and
was therefore more matured, resisted
the plague. A man named w. H. john
son had an experimental patch of cas-
tor oil beans which suffered in the same
way, the young plants being complete
jly exterminated. Mr.. Johnson noticed
that lOcally-grOwn seed from imported
seed produces a plant which grows bet
ter and is not so liable to insect pests,
having apparently more resistance. Mr..
Johnson and his tenants are putting in
some six or seven acres of cotton in
connection with the government cotton
experiment.

LONDON, April 24-'What shall I
take for my complexion" a reigning
beauty in British aristocratic society
asked Sir Thomas Barlow physician
to King Edwards household Take
olive oil,' Sir Thomas answered, Live
in it, live on it, live with it, eat it,
drink it, dress your food with it and
don't do without it--lubricate your
system
"Olve oil, though incapable of sup
porting life if taken alone, nevertheless
lends itself to a diminished meat diet,
as it prevents waste of tissue. The
warm rosy complexion of the Italian
and Sicilian women is due to the free
use of olive oil as much as to the air
and climate of their country
An American physician says the olive
oil habit is growing and American wo-
men now frequently give beauty lun-
cheons" at which olive oil is prominent.
The American is quoted as saying:
THE difficulty is in procuring the
pure oil. That produced in California
from the olive groves of that state, and
sold under the name of "Purita" is un-
questionably the best obtainable and
it sells for the same price as the adul-
terated article. In Honolulu Purita
is sold only by the hebron drug com
pany and may be had in containers
from a pint to a gallon. 1t is the only
oil sold that has the flavor of the pure
fresh olives.

Roast For an
Absurd Verdict


The Jap had fired three shots into the
woman with pistol and the offense
must have been either assault with in
tent to commit murder or assault with
intent to commit manslaughter
"I confess that 1 was very much sur
prised with the verdict" said Judge
De Bolt, ITO my mind the evidence
clearly justified a verdict of guilty as
charged, of assault being armed with
a dangerous weapon with intent TO
commit murder As to the question of
deliberation there was "A debateable
ground and If the jury did not think
proper to render a verdict of assault
with intent to commit murder, by rca-
son Of the debateable ground as TO pre-
meditated they might perhaps with
equal justification have found YER
dict of assault with intent to commit
manslaughter.

shot, and it was a mere accident or

MAY ACCOMMODATE
UNION IRON WORKS
INTER-ISLAND co. MAY ALLOW
DELAY BUILDING MAUNA REA.

No meeting of the board Of directors
of the Intcr-Island Steam Navigation
Company has been held yet to take ac-
tion over the possible postponement of
the construction of the new steamer
Mauna Kea, which is intended for the
Hilo-Honoluu run. 1t was first thought
that the disaster to San Francisco
might result i'm a temporary material
diminution i'm the tourist travel to these
islands In such an event the construc-
tion of the Mauua Kea would be pre-
mature. 1t was thought that a delay
i'm her construction might therefore be
advisable
But there is even another considera-
tion i'm this connection. The Union Iron
Works which has the contract for the
construction of the new steamer will
probably be taxed to its utmost capa-
city to turn out building materials for
the rebuilding of new San Francisco
and a delay i'm the construction of the
Mauna Kea might therefore be well
coined by the company 1t is not inn
probable that the construction Of the
vessel may be postponed with a view
to accommodate the Union Iron Works
as well as aiding the Inter-lsland Com
Ipany A delay of six months or yeai
| i'm the building of the new boat would
not i'm all likelihood prove an inconve.
nience' to the local concern.

Grand Jury And
Funds of The Court

Here is where the responsibilities of
certain attorneys may come in, for the
checks as drawn have been at the be-
hest of counsel i'm some cases and sup
posedly for the benefit of estates i'm
which such counsel were concerned
The entire sum involved is small, and
it is regarded as possible that all diff
culties will be cleared away by further
investigation, but up to this time the
Grand Jury is unable to understand the
issuance of some checks
In the cases Of Kellett, the checks
were approved by De Bolt it is stated.
Kellett had been clerk for years and
had the implicit confidence of all with
whom he dealt but-it is now said that
the investigations being made open up
opportunities for score or more char
ges against him. There are said to be
many checks of doubtful character,
bearing the signature. No other clerk
of the department is mentioned in con-
uection with the investigation.
Henry Smith head clerk Of the de-
partment, has been working nights re-
Gently on the records of the depart
ment. He is preparing a full statement
of the situation, for Judge De Bolt and
also, 1t is understood. for the grand
jury. Smith is also preparing a new
set of books, to be used i'm connection
with a different system of handling the
court funds, as provided for by new
ITule of the judges adopted yesterday
and published elsewhere in The Star.
