Rubber Is
Looking Up
Planters Are Now Eithu=
SiaStic.

The rubber men returned from
their annual convention in Homo
lulu last week and heard for the
first time the results of the expert
ments that have been conducted
by the United States Experiment
station officials. While there were
a number of Doubling Thomases
in the crowd who departed for Ho-
nolulu there none to return. but
one and all were convinced that
rubber growing in this territory
will be big paying investment IN
the course of short time.
Some years ago Jared G. Smith
was skeptical of the possibilities of
the industry and so advised a
number of Maui people. Later he
conducted experiments that con.
vinced him that even if the price
of rubber should fall to one third
of the market price that the indus
try would pay one hundred per-
cent.
After the publication of this re-
port there were those who said
that the estimates were not based
on experiments of such length and
over such number of years and on
sufficient number of trees to war.
rant any such conclusion.
Some months ago Doctor Wilcox,
who succeeded Mr.. Smith as head
of the experiment station in the
territory, went to Nahiku rubber
plantations and made personal
inspection and then sent one OF his
head men to make secret expert
ments and report to the Office. Al
ter these reports were made the

EXPERIMENTS IN TAPPING
CEARA RUBBER TREES.
"The rubber experiments which
are being carried on by the U. S
Experiment Station and Territorial
Board of Agricultural and Forestry
have been under way long enough
to indicate certain results which are
of practical importance to rubber
growers. Thus far more than 2O(
trees, most of them less than three
years old, have been tapped. These
trees averaged from twelve t(
thirteen inches in circumference
and were located chiefly on th'
grounds of the Koolau Rubber Com
pany, on Maui. In tapping younl
trees it was not expected that pro
fitable returns of rubber would b'
obtained; but the plan involved th'
practical point of determining th'
rapidity with which trees could b'
tapped and satisfactory methods o
handling labor to the best advant

COMee Finally Had to GO'

The way some persons cling to cof- fee even after they know 1t IS dolpg than harm, is q puzzler. But 1t Is an eaay matter to give 1t up for good when Postum Food Coffee Is property made and used instead.
 4 girl writes: Mother had been suffering with nervous headaches for seven weary years. but kept arinNins coffee s-
 "one day I asked her why she did not give up coffee as a cousin of mine had done who had taken to Pestum. bnt Mother was such slave to coffee she thought 1t would be terrible to give 1t
 'Finally. one day, she made the change to Postum, and quickly her headaches disappeared. One morning while she was drinking POstum so freely and with such relish. asked for a taste.
 That started me on Postum and l now drink it more freely than 1 did coffee. which never comes Into our house now.
 "A girl friend of mine, one day, saw me drinking Postum and asked If tt was coffee. told her 1t was Postum and gave her some to take home, but forgot to tell her how to make 1t.
 The next day she said she did not see how could drink POstum. I found sheShad made 1t like ordinary coffee. So told her how to make 1t right and gave her a eupful made, after boiling 1t fifteen minutes. She said she never drank any coffee that tasted as good, and now coffee is banished from both our homes" Name given by Postum Co.,. Battle Creek Michigan.

To Compare ReUenue License Lists With Those of State

Because he believes that there may De persons selling liquor in Montgom- cry County who have taken out . Unit ed States license and who have no county or State license. Sherift Hood has secured a list of every person in the county who has taken out . revenue license. This list will be compared with the list of the county and the State and those whose names do not appear on all of the lists will be investigated.
 !. Believing that there are several cases of this sort in the county. Sheriff Hood went to Birmingham a few days ago and secured this list and he will com pare it with the other two lists as soon as possible. It is thought that there might be persons who would take chances with the State and county laws but who protect themselves against the Federal courts in such cases. Very often when a blind tiger :s located 1t will be found that the proprietor has a United States license but no State or county license.

 The Eastern Underwater. writing under date of November 20, flor the current issue, remarked that NIT.

Williamson surpassed all the other several thousand agents of his company in the country and sue ceeded In winning the prize offered for the largest paid individual productions.
 'Wtat makes the performance the more remarkable Is that Mir.

Under these circumstances when he is arrested he can only be dealt with by the state and county authorities. If he did not have the United States liz cepse he would virtually be arrested on two charges, as both coufts would get whack at him. As the penalty of the.
