HOUSE WITH H|ST'RY
First Missionary Building in
Honolulu to Be Preserved
as Museum.

Honolulu, Feb. 4.-The old mission
house." the Oldest building Of any kind
in Hawaii, is to be restored and made
into museum of missionary relics
and mementos of early life dn Homo
lulu. The house, sawed, framed and
ready to be put together, was brought
from Boston in the brig Thaddeus,
which brought the first missionaries
to these islands. The Thaddeus left
Boston in 1919 and arrived here IN
1920, but it was not until three years
later that the chiefs allowed the mis-
sionaries to put together the material
they had brought with them and erect
this house of old New England design
in this tropical land.
Honolulu In 1890.
When the missionaries arrived here
Honolulu had just been made the cap
ital of Liliho's kingdom. 1t was a
struggling village of grass huts along
Nuuanu river and on an arid plain.
At the edge of the harbor was an
adobe fort. The kings palace was
near the fort and was partly of adobe
and partly of grass.
The frame house the missionaries
brought with them was far superior
to any other building then in Homo
lulu, including the kings palace. The
chiefs, however, were suspicious of
allowing the missionaries to erect any
permanent buildings and especially
one that so surpassed even the kings
a or
who did not hesitate to fan the native
suspicion. Eventually permission was
given and in 1923 the building was
erected 1t was on the outskirts IF
the village as it was then, though now
1t is only a few hundred yards from
the capitol and the judiciary build
ings.
Center of Mission Work.
Here it has remained ever since. For
forty years it was the center of the
work of the American board in the
Hawaiian islands. For many more
years than that it was the center of
missionary activity in Hawaii. The
needs of the mission resulted in the
erection of other buildings near by,
but this remained the missionary
home.
1t was occupied as a residence by
missionary families until about a doz-
en- years ago, but since then it has
fallen upon evil times. It has latterly
been occupied by Chineses as laun-
dry, the celestials smoking opium dur
ing their hours of ease and establish
ing little jess shrines with burning
punk sticks before them in some of
the rooms. Frame buildings, occupied
as Chinese and Japanese stores, were
built between the house and the street.
The place and it's surroundings have
been growing shabbier and shabbier
for several years.
The Hawaiian Mission Children's So
clety, an organization to which all de-
scendants of the missionaries are eligi-
BILE, has lately taken up the matter,
secured the property and proposes to
restore it as nearly as possible to its
original appearance. This will not be
difficult, as 1T has been changed very
little since it was originally erected.

ADVANCE IN FARM LAND.
Rates of Increase Highest for Cotton
Area-Hay and Grain Farm.
ing Next.

Net less interesting than the increas-
ed values of real estate in the cities
are the figures contained in bulletin
issued by the census bureau showing
an advance of $6,131 100000 in the
value of farm lands in the United Stat
es in the last five years. Nearly four
fifths of this increase is found in two
groups of States-the North Central
States, with more than half of the
total increase, of $3,I72,OOO,OO0, and
the Southern States, with one-fifth of
that increase, or $1,20O,OO0,0O0. The
South Atlantic and Western groups
of States have nearly the same in
crease-$514,O0O,O0O and $5O0.O00,000,
respectively. The smallest increase is
left to the North Atlantic states, where
a net grain of $344,OO0,000 remains
after deducting some reported de-
creased in value.
The grouping of farms, according
to the principal sources of income
adopted by the census, was followed
by as nearly as possible in this in
vestigation, and the computation IF in
crease in value of medium farms per
acre has been made for each group.
The rate of increase for cotton
farms is highest-4S.2 per cent. Sec
ond in order are the hay and grain
farms, with an increase of Is per cent.
The live stock farms increased III
value per acre 24.3 per cent and thu
farms devoted principally to sugar are
found to have increased 1872 per cent.
Rice farming follows, with an increase
of 1922 per cent in value per acre,
while close to this is 1921 per cent
Of the tobacco farms.
The farms having no special source
of income have an increase in value
per acre of 30.1 per cent, below which
are the fruit farms, with an increase
of 27.9 per cent. The vegetable farms
with 267 per cent and lowest of all
the dairy farms, with an increase of
25.8 per cent.
The foregoing percentages of in
creases appear extraordinarily large
when compared with the percentage
of increase of the average value per
acre of all farms from 1890 to 1900,
which was rs per cent, an average of
rs per cent per year, as compared
with an average of g. per cent as
ascertained by the department, the
total percentage by the department,
the total percentage of increase in
each case being apportioned evenly
among the years,
For rice farms the increased value
Of the farm realestate during the five
years is 100000, after which are
the sugar farms, with an increase of
$20,O0O,00O. The tobacco farms in
creased $57,000,0O0, the fruit farms
$94,000,000 and the vegetable farms
$113, 100000. The dairy farm increase
Of $685., 100000 is exceeded by the in.
crease of $46O 100000 for cotton farms
and considerably more by the increase
for farms devoted to general purposes,
including a small element of farms
with minor specialties, which was
$76S, 100000. The grand aggregate in
crease for all classes of farms is &c.
131 100000, more than two-thirds of
which is contributed by the increase
for hay and grain farms, $1,9S3, 0OO,-
900, and $2,163 100000 for live stock
farms.

PROF. B0LLEY SAYS
AUTHOR HAS 4
BAD NAME
For His Bill Relative to Cruelty
to Land-A. G. Man Favors
the Proposition.

Many are the expressions given Out
both locally and throughout the agri-
cultural districts of the country rela-
tive to the bill drafted by r. Sayre OF
Chicago, which bill is known as law
for the prevention Of cruelty to land.
The provisions of the law meet the
views of professors Of the different ag-
ricultural colleges and those who have A.
been giving farm conditions a close
study. Those who have looked into
conditions are of one accord that
law based on the principles included
in the bill drafted by Mr.. Sayre are
needed in the farming districts, but
that there should be some changes be-
fore such law is offered to the legis-
latures.
The bill of Mr.. Sayre is as follows:
Section /. 1t shall be unlawful for
the owner or cultivator of lands in
this state to plant wheat, oats, barley,
speltz, rye, fax, buckwheat, corn or
other cultivated crops, upon any tract
or parcel of land which has been used
for any of said products for the last
two years preceding.
Section 2. Any person who shall
plant any land in this state with any
of the crops mentioned in section 1
of this act upon any land which has
been used for any of such crops for
the last two years preceding, shall be
guilty Of misdemeanor, and shall be
fined not less than 10 cents nor more
that Is cents for each acre so plant
ed, and like sum for each succeeding
offense.
Section 8. All acts or parts of acts
in conflict with the provisions of this
act are hereby repealed.
In speaking of the proposed law,
Prof. H. L. Bolley of the A. c., said:
1.-THE author has selected an unfor-
tunate title, and would have undoubt-
eddy met with more favor had he said
for the prevention of misusing land
"The bill proposed may not be in
proper form to sufficiently guard the
interests of experimentally inclined
farmers and other farm interests, but
no doubt all will agree that the time is
soon coming when matters which are
of vital interest to the welfare Of the
future of our country cannot be dis
carded simply by the assertion that
laws looking to the preservation of the
interests of the people are unconstitu-
tional. We may not be ready to enact
a law which will compel farmers to
rotate their crops or let their land
rest, but really the time to save the
land is while it is virile."

straphanger on the underground. 1t
was in a crowded smoker. A gentle
man arose and gave the woman his
seat. She dropped into it with frown
and word of thanks. 1t was clear
the man was nettled, and, pausing a
moment. he said. Madam, l think I
have left something on the seat" The
lady slowly drew herself up, and the
gentleman quickly got behind her and
resumed his seat, leaving the lady
standing. Her face was crimson, and
there was just the suspicion of litter.

CINCINNATI
PEOPLE EXCITED
The Great Cooper as he is called Has Stirred
up That City to Remarkable Degree.

CINCINNATI, o., Jan. 16.-This city
is at present in the midst of an excite
ment beyond anything that it exper-
fenced in recent years.
Old and young, rich and poor, all
seem to have become beside themselves
over an individual who was stranger
to Cincinnati up two weeks ago.
The man who has created all this
turmoil is L. t. Cooper, President of
the Cooper Medicine Co., of Dayton,
Ohio, who is at present introducing
his preparations in this city for the
first time.
Cooper is man about thirty years
of age and has acquired fortune
within the past two years by the sale
of some preparations of which he is
the owner.
Reports from eastern cities that pre-
ceeded the young man here were of
the most startling nature. Many of
the leading dailies going as far as to
state that he had nightly cured in
public places deafness of years. stand
ing with one of his preparations. The
physicians of the East contradicted
this statement, claiming the thing to
be impossible, but the facts seemed to
bear out this statement that Cooper
actually did so.
In consequence people flocked to
him by thousands and his prepara.
tions sold like wldfre.
Many of these stories were regarded
as fictitious in Cincinnati and until
Cooper actually reached this city little
attention was paid to them. Hardly
had the young man arrived, however,
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1907-01-17

when he began giving demonstrations,
as he calls them, in public, and daily
met people afflicted with deafness
and with single application of one
of his preparations actually made
deaf people hear again.
In addition to this work Cooper ad.
vanced the theory that stomach trou-
BILE is the foundation of nine out of
ten diseases and claimed to have a
preparation that would restore the
stomach to working order and thus
get rid of such troubles as rheumatism
and affections of the kidneys and liver,
in about two weeks time.
This statement seems to have been
borne out by the remarkable results
obtained through the use of his prep
aration, and now all Cincinnati is ap-
parently mad over the young man.
His headquarters resemble veri-
table stampede. Thousands of people
are visiting him each day, and the
druggists are selling his medicine in
enormous quantities.
What seems to make Cooper still
more popular is the fact that he prac-
tices extensive charitable work and
has already dispensed small fortune
among the poor of the city.
How long the tremendous interest
in Cooper will last is hard to estimate.
At present there seems to be no sign
of let-up. Reputable physicians
claim it to be fad that will die out
as soon as Cooper leaves.
In justice to him, however, it must
be said that he seems to have accom-
plished great deal for the sick of
this city with his preparations.

For Pensioners.

A bill of particular interest to all pen
sioners was introduced by Senator Pen
rose on Wednesday poviding that pen
sionors of the government shall be paid

month as at preent. 1t is proposed to
have the pension agents to mail checks
on the last day of each month, "with
restrictions no more onerous than are
made by the treasury department in
paying interest on government bonds"
This means that the vouchers sworn
to every pension period at an expense
of % cents will be done away with.
Under the bill pensioners are to file

Wind and Moon Shine.

There are mighty few people who go
into marriage with any real idea of
what it means. They get their notion
of it from among the clouds where
they lived while they were engaged,
and naturally about all they find up
there is wind and moonshine, or from
novels which always end before the
real trouble begins, or, they keep on,
leave out the chapters that tell how the
husband finds the rent and the wife the
hired girl. But if there's one thing in
the world about which it's possible to
get all the facts, its matrimony Part
of them are right in the house where
your were born, and the neighbors
have the rest.
