The announcement that y. Frank

generally expected in view of the fact
that he was candidate two years ago
and made good showing at that time.
During the past two years his acquain-
tance in the county has become more
general and this fact will be of much
assistance to him this year. That he is
capable and that he would make a most
excellent candidate and splendid Of
hcer is not questioned by any one, His

LIME TREES ON
HAWAII KILLED
ATTACKED BY "A MINUTE INSECT
SOMETHING LIKE A MOSQUITO
Alligator PEARS THREATENED

HILO, June 21.-From Investigations
made with microscope Captain Ell
darts of Kapoho, Puma, has decided to
his own satisfaction that the wide
spread damage to the crops of lines
is due to the depredations of a minute
insect which looks something like a
mosquito. Captain Eldart used to raise
great numbers of lines but in Febru-
airy that he noticed that the trees were
looking unhealthy. They grew gradu-
ally worse, dying by inches, seemingly
until they finally ceased bearing alto
gether
The captain was in the city on Tues
day and reported that he was pretty
certain that the insect he had discover
ed was the cause of the trouble
Under the microscope" he said, "the
pest looks like a mosquito somewhat,
though it is much smaller. 1t seems
to get it's sustenance from the tree
much as the mosquito does from human
blood, hanging on and sucking the
juices of the tender leaves and buds.
never saw an insect like it before.
The lime trees just wither and die when
it has been working for a little while"
Though no other lime growers have
reported finding this pest described by
the Puma man, the symptoms of their
trees appear to be identical. From Ha-
makua, Kau and Puma as well as in
this district the stories of destruction
have come. There is also serious COM
plant that the avacado pear trees
have been attacked in many localities.
It is not known that any trees have
been killed but the pears are of small
size and unsatisfactory quality.-Ha-
