strain. The experiment includes 600
birds. OF these, about 200 are con.

these 200 have record of over 200

cording has shown the manager that
the birds that lay heavily one year
will not begin to lay eggs early the
following fall and winter. Having laid
very large number of eggs during
the first winter and spring of their
existence. they seem to require all the
late summer, fall and early winter In
which to recuperate. OF course in the

sirable to have them begin laying

SOCIETY

to Entertain The
Public.

A dramatic society has been organ
lied in Honolulu whose purpose will
he placing before Honolulu audiences
amateur productions, possibly four
year. The organizers believe that the
society in doing this will fill a long
felt want, although in professional
productions it is recognized that Joe
Cohen is doing much to present varied
amusements to the public.
The new organization has not yet
selected a name, but the organization
is about complete. A. E. Murphy, who
has acted as stage manager for sew
eraI successful amateur productions,
has been chosen president. The mem
bership thus far comprises twenty
eight of the leading amateur thespians

GOSPEL PREACHED
TO The PRISONERS

Under the auspices of the Y. M. c.
A. devotional committee, Rev. Mr.. Mer-
rill of Rochester, n. Y, yesterday de-
livered a striking address at Oahu
prison Interesting services were held,
to which Mrs Jensen contributed a
solo. Mr.. Merrill was introduced by
John Martin and spoke in substance as
follows:
81 come to you as a fellow sinner to
tell you from an old man s experience
words of counsel for you in your pres
ent condition. We were all babes once
fondled in our mother s arms. We had
youth s desires and hopes and plans.
Here we are today from China and
Japan and the country of the Portu-
guese, from Africa and these Islands,
and | feel, as [ speak to you, like a
friend l have in Raleigh, n. c., a
banker, who, when 3 O'Clock comes,
goes out on the street to help his fell
lowmen. For more than 25 years he
has taught a Bible class in the North
Carolina penitentiary and he often
says: But for the grace of God |
might have been in the same condition
as are these prisoners.
''With the same feeling and the
same desire [ address you today. | call
your attention to the story in Luke vii,
$3.50, of the woman in the city who
was a sinner and who washed the feet
of Jesus with her tears and wiped them
with the hairs of her head. All of us
are sinners. We are sinners because
we have violated law. The family is
the unit of society. And the family
must have protection for its preserva-
tion. Your mothers and fathers needed
it, and you needed it when you were
young. The laws are needed for the
preservation of property, so that what
we earn may go for the life of the fam
lily. Else there will be no incentive to
labor and society and the family will
be without any inducement to labor.
Such is the case in some countries
where taxation ruins all endeavor
"We can see that the laws are neces-
sary. These laws in the best land I'M

early hopes and plans are bhghted.

CROCKETT REFINERY
To OPEN IN MARCH

BENICIA, January 13.-It has been
authoritativeIy learned that the Cali
fornia and Hawaiian Sugar Refining
Company will reopen its plant at
Crockett on the Contra Costa shore on
March L. For the past two years the
company has been paid 100000 per
annum by the Spreckels Company to
keep its doors closed. But now that
of the concern are to begin business
again
The company has secured contracts
for a term of years by which it con-
trolls over so per cent. of the island
output of sugar and is thus assured
of an almost inexhaustible supply of
cane for years.
The plant is owned and controlled by
Hawaiian planters and their San Fran
cisco associates, while the management
of the company is in the hands of the
following bankers and merchants of
San Francisco: President, r. P. Rith-
ct, president of WEIGH & Co, commits
sion merchants; vice president, Wal
lace M. Alexander, of Alexander &
Baldwin; treasurer, Frank B. Ander-
son, vice president of the Bank of Cali
fornia; Warren d. Clark, of Williams,
Dimond & Co; Albert Meyer, of DAM
ell Meyer, banker; James Rolph, Jr., of
Hind, Rolph & Co.; George E. Fair
child, merchant.
George NJ. Rolph of San Francisco
has been appointed manager and has
assumed control. The refining opera
tons will be under the supervision of

women. They come into our souls
through the open door or window of
passion or anger or envy or lust. They
get a foothold and abide within us.
This woman was a sinner. The evil
ones had possessed her. But we behold
her at Jesus feet in tears of penitence.
$50 you should come to Jesus with
no excuses on your lips; with no hard
feelings against any; with no COM
plants. You should be glad to pay the
just penalty of the violated law. This
will tighten the dark hours. This will
make you look on your condition in a
way that will help you to bear it bet
ter. This will make your burdens
lighter.
''Coming so to Jesus it will be with
you as with the two debtors who were
forgiven their Gebts of fifty and 500
penee-the one who was forgiven most,
loved most. And you will hear Jesus
say to you as He did to this woman
who was a sinner, Her sins which are
many are forgiven AS Kapiolani, the
Hawaiian chieftain's daughter, could
leave off her dissipation, journey $50
miles to defy the dread Goddess Pele
and call on Jehovah as her God, so can
you here seek unto Jesus whose might
has limited the powers of Satan and his
emissaries, and have your sins for
given. -

Dear Sir: [ get the Advertisers reg
ularly and I read them all through.
After all there is no paper quite like
the Advertiser. In spite of all the
fancy papers hereabouts, | like the Adj
vertiser and can always find more of
interest in it than in any other paper.
People here have very peculiar ideas
about Hawaii. One sport asked me
where | came from when we were at
dinner IN the big college dining hall. [
said, Hawaii and he gave me a
plying smile and remarked: ooh, /
suppose your parents are missionaries
| said, No, - and he looked surprised.
Well, how many Americans are there
in Honolulu dozen or fifteenth he
asked. Well, [ was almost struck
dumb, but I Informed him that our troll
ley ears could run rings around eastern
ones and left him wondering whether l
was liar or not.
Many people suppose that the leper
island is the main thing about Hawaii,
although there are not so many of
these.
Last week [ delivered a twenty-five
minute talk on Honolulu at an enter
tainment in York Village, Maine. The
people seemed greatly interested and I
had to spend a couple of hours after
the affair answering questions and
showing pictures. If one had a good
lot of stereopticon views and little
money he could do lot of missionary
work for Hawaii here. People are in
tensely interested but very ignorant
about Hawaii. One trouble is that
most of the pictures of Hawaiian
scenes shown around here are of wav-
ing palms, grass huts and almost nude
surf-riders. These are all very well in
their way but we ought to show a few
pictures of fine houses, broad streets,
showing our electric cars, fine business
buildings, harbor and shipping, etc !
People like to see the beautiful native /
scenes but if we want them to settle /
we want to show them that they won 4 /,
have to live in grass huts, that there
are other means of rapid transit than
buffalo carts, that our business blocks /
and hotels are slightly different from /

a single picture of a street scene that

photographer had evidently waited
until every street car was out of sight.
Then when pictures of Merchant

shacks east of the buildings instead of
being taken the other way 70 show the
business part of the street. The west

Turing literature illustrated with pic
lures ingeniously taken so as to show
the very best side of the town. ! don t
think we need to deceive people but
there is no need for us to show none of
the most attractive things about Ha-
wall. In our anxiety to put the Islands
forward as a picturesque spot for tour
lists we have forgotten, it appears, that
some people might be attracted by the
thought of Honolulu as a busting
American city, who would not be lured
by the description of sleepy, balmy
tourist resort where, to paraphrase
methods that should have persisted
years ago. -
An agency has been established in
Los Angeles in the hope that we may
catch few impoverished tourists after
they have been properly and thorough
ly bled by the wise citizens Of Los An
geles, San Diego, Pasadena and other
tourist paradises.' Why should we
try to get secondhand sight
Here is the field for US. It seems to me
that We should strike the place where
the tourists come from.

interesting to you, but you may like to
hear these things. [ show the Adver-
tiser around and talk Hawaii wherever
