SUGAR WAR BETWEEN
SPRECKELS AND HAWAII

AS an incident in the war between
SpreckeIs interests, the first iTpcrta-
ton of Philippine sugar to reach this
port in fourteen years arrived on TIL
big Standard Oil freighter Dakotah
Tuesday. The Dakotah brought rs, 600
mats of IS pounds each, making a total
of nearly 5000 tons. The Dakotah is
now unloading her cargo at the big
refinery in the Potrero. In spite of the
the Spreckels people claim it can pc
handled as probably as the Hawaiian
product. Another big shipment is on
the way.
The sugar arrived in coarse straw
mats, which are unloaded from the
steamer in sings of twenty at a time,
from three matches. To figure out the
customs duty the Government has de-
tailed a force of four weighers, whose
duty it is to weigh each truckload
taken from the ships side. Some eight
samplers, with long triers, jab every
mat and extract a sample which is
placed in a sealed drum, to be taken
to the United States Appraisers labor
atory in order to find out the exact
saccharine quality, upon which the
customs rate is based.
Since Tuesday this force Of Gov
eminent employees has worked con-
tinuously, and it is probable that it
will take fully five days before all the
cargo is weighed and sampled. With
at least 100 stevedores doing the truck
ing and unloading, the wharf presents
an animated appearance.
The steamer Switzerland, a sister
ship of the Dakotah, left Manila on
June 7th, and it is reported that she
will bring in something like 10000 bags
of raw sugar for the Western Re-
finery. This viii be the largest i'm
portation in the history of the trade

is the fellow who is looking after helps
to do these things. We have found
a time and money saver in having a
well-regulated tool room. A place for
tools, extras for repairs and available
material to repair the multitude of
breaks that are coming up constantly
OH the farm where a ''Stitch in time
saves nine" When break occurs on
a piece of machinery, much time is lost
in trip to town to get it fixed when
with the aid of few tools and little
judgment the repair could easily be
made. Too many people think that
they cannot use tools and so never try
to fix things themselves This is a
mistake. 1t is true that genius for
making things is born in some people,
but it is also acquired in others

know how to handle them. BY using
tools for repairing, the habit of study
ing out things about machinery will
grow on one. How often have we
noted farmers trying to run new
piece of machinery before they COM
pretended the first principles by
which it worked. There are many
things that hammer, saw and plane
can do on the farm that will not only
afford profit but contribute to the tidf-
ness about the premises.
We would suggest some of the fol
lowing tools for the tool house: Ham
cross-cut, and keyhOle saw, brace and
set of bits, steel square, pair of divid-
ers, tee square, plane, gauget level,
drawing knife, awl, leather punch,
grfnd-stone, oil stone and such other
tools as may thought to be of of use.
1t would be well to set up a work
bench in the tool house with a wise at
tached, possibly an anvil and portable
forge might be added. Have a place
for every tool and see that it is re
turned to its niche after using. Make
the tool house serve the purpose for
which it was intended and not as a
place for storing things as is too often
the case The tool house may become
one of the important helps of the farm.

system and saves time and money

A Rescue Home for Horses.

A faithful old horse deserves to be

Usually they are either turned out to
shift for themselves or shot, in sO-cal-
led, mercy. In some cases it is no
doubt the kindest thing that can be
done, to put an end to their sufferings
with a well directed bullet But in
most cases there is better way.
How it ought to be done is told in an
item, from COleman's Rural World:
A home for old and injured horses
has been carried on for two or three
years past at Red Acre Farm in Stowe.

twelve horses have been taken care of

An Active Game.

A game full of fun and variety is
called The Railroad Train" One of
the party is chosen to be trainmaster
He must prepare the train. He places
as many chairs as there are players in
two rows just as the seats are arrang
ed i'm cars. The only one who has no
chair is the trainmaster himself.
Then the trainmaster selects his
train crew. He picks out one person
as engineer, another as stOker, an
other as conductor, and so on.
AS soon as they are at their stations
he shouts, ''All aboard!'' and the pas
sengers take their places. As each one
enters the train, the trainmaster gives
the passenger his or her title, such as
Fat Passenger, the GOOd-loOking Pas
senger, the Dark Lady, the Nurse, the
Salesman, the Sailor, etc.
When they are all seated, the train
master makes a circuit of the chairs
and calls out the name of some article
which would naturally belong to some
certain one of the passengers or train
crew.
For instance, "a ticket puncher'
naturally would belong to the conduct
or. He must stand UP Immediately.
Or nursing bottle can belong to no
one except the nurse, and so on
The player who does not recognize
the article appropriate to his or her
character must pay a forfeit
At any time during the game the
traimmaster may call out the first and
last letter Of the name of the charact-
er assumed by some one of the players
and the person thus called on must
leave his or her seat and take hold of
their predecessors Whoever fails to
recognize the first and last letter of the
name of the character assumed, must
pay another forfeit
