NEED BE WIDOWS NO MORE
Husbands Furnished by a Topeka
Kan, Bureau.

Kan, Bureau.
There ought to be no trouble for a
Kansas widow to secure a husband
these days, since company has been
established at the Kansas state cap
ital. the purpose of which is to fur
pish husbands to those widowed ones
who are DESTROYS of taking another
chance in the matrimonial field. The
widow doesn't have to be young. It's
not necessary that she be extremely
fair to look upon. Her bank account
rlust not necessarily be large, al
though that would help. All that is
required is that she express a desire
to marry again and indicate whether
or not she would consider an offer of
marriage from a respectable, good,
honest man."

Kline said:
81 was much impressed while on the
Pacific coast with the anti-Japanese
feeling existing at Vancouver and
throughout British Columbia, which is
far more intense than the feeling on
the American side of the border. At
San Francisco the anti-Japanese ele-
ment is comparatively small and one
hears little of the active agitation
against the Japanese.
"On the other hand, I visited Van
couver shortly after the anti-Japanese
riots, meeting the Japanese quarters.
Everywhere there was evidence of hos
tile intention. The people have taken
up the shibboleth of Canada for the
Canadians, and they feel that the
exclusion of the yellow race is essen
tial for their self-preservation. They
are very determined in this feeling,

Dissipates Fear of War.

Before coming to America I shared
the views of a considerable element in
France and throughout Europe that
the Japanese question might lead the
United States into war. But personal
observation throughout the middle
west and far west has completely
changed my views The people of the
west are not thinking of such thing
and scout the very idea of war. Even
in San Francisco, which is supposed
in Europe to be the center of anti
Japanese hostility, there was much
less telling than I found to exist in
the British colonies to the north. 1t is
quite evident, also, in witnessing the
splendid development of the Pacific
coast, that war would be little short
of criminal, alike disastrous to Japan
and the United States, neither of whom
has anything to gain by such re-
course to barbarism.
More Acute in Canada.
"This branch of the Japanese cues
ton is really of much Importance to
the United States, as Japan can hardly
expect more from the United States
than she expects of Canada, where
the situation to the Japanese is far
more acute"
Speaking of the people in the west,
Able Kline says that he was struck
by the fact that they look upon the
east as sort of foreign country, much
as the people of the Atlantic states
look upon Europe. They are making
great strides forward, principally the
region about Puget sound, which, in
Hay, loose-Timothy, up to $25;
the Judgment of this foreign observer,
is to be the field of Americas greatest
future development.

pound more for their copper than can , the Amalgamated, their product being lake copper, while that of the Amai- gamated is electrolytic. The result of these two conditions is that should Amalgamated be able to cut the price of the metal below nine cents per pound( an impossibility on the face of iD the Calumet and Hecla people would still be able to operate at a large profit, while they themselves (the Amalgamated) would lose on ev- cry pound of copper they produced. Hence the improbability of any action on the part Of the Amalgamated such as rumor attributes to it. and the ut- ter impossibility of their being able to control the production of copper as the Standard Oil company controls that of oil
 Taking all of the above facts into consideration, 1t Is only fair to ex- pect in the near future healthy tone and a stability to the copper market that 1t has not known for some time past, and fin the end the price of metal will undoubtedly be somewhere between 15 and IS cents per pound. a price at which all of the producers can make a profit and at the same time UIit that iis not Iaisses,s;s,e sse enz- sumption in any line.

HISTORIC STRUCTURE IN HOMO.
LULU TO BE PRESERVED.

waiian Islands and Better Than

Missionary Museum.

Outgrown, but not forgotten or aban.
toned, the old mission house at Homo
zulu, the Oldest building of any kind
IN Hawaii. is to be restored and con-
yerted into museum of missionary
relics and mementoes of early life.
The mission house, sawed and
framed and ready to be put together,
was brought from Boston in the brig
Thaddeus, which took the first band
Of missionaries to the islands. The
Thaddeus left Boston in 1919, and ar
rived In 1920, but 1t was not until
three years later that the Hawaiian
chiefs allowed the missionaries to put
together the material they had
brought with them and erect this
house of old New England design in
this faraway tropical country.
When the missionaries arrived Hon.
olulu had just been made the cap
ttal of Liliho's Kingdom. 1t was a
village of grass huts along Nuuanu
river, struggling over an arid plain.
1t was defended by an adobe fort at
the harbor's edge. The kings adobe
and grass palace was not far away.
The frame house which the mission
aries owned was far superior to any
ether building in Honolulu, even the
kings palace.
The chiefs were suspicious of allow
ing the missionaries to erect any per-
manent buildings, especially one that
SO surpassed even the kings resi-
dence. There were not wanting white
men in the islands also, who did not
hesitate to fan the native suspicion in
the minds of the chiefs. But event
ually permission was given, and in
1928 the house was erected. The out

OLD MISSION HOUSE.

skirts of the village surrounded the
house then, but now it is only a few
hundred yards from the capitol and
judiciary buildings. Here 1t has re.
NAMED ever since.
For 40 years it was the center of
the work Of the American board in
the islands. For many more years
than that 1t was the center of mission
airy activity in Hawaii. The needs of
the mission resulted in the erection of
other buildings near by. But this re-
manned the missionary home.
1t was occupied as a residence by
one or another of the missionary fam.
lilies until about dozen years ago.
Since then 1t has fallen upon evil
times. 1t has recently been occupied
by Chinese, who piled their launder-
ing within its walls, smoked opium
during their hours of ease and estab.
fishing little joss shrines with burning
punk sticks before them in some of
the rooms. Frame buildings, occu-
pied as Chinese and Japanese stores,
were built between the house and the
street. The place and its surround.
ings have been growing shabbier and
shabbier for several years.
The Hawaiian Mission Chldren's
society, an organization to which
all of the descendants of the mission
aries are eligible, has secured the
property, and proposes to restore it as
nearly as possible to its original ap-
pearance This ought not to be diff
cult, as it has been changed very
little since it was originally erected.
The Chinese stores around it have
been torn down, and the place will be-
maintained as a monument to the
fathers and mothers in Israel who
lived and labored under it's roof in
the early days of Hawaii
