Inn proving Corn

realizing that the Improvement OF
corn is matter of concern TO every
agricultural practitioner. because of the
wide adaptability and general cultiva
ton OF the cereal, the Virginia Agricul-
tural Experiment Station has publish
ed IN bulletin of nearly 100 pages
the results of experiments in that field
In general introduction the bulletin
says:
investigations show very clearly
that the corn plant is quickly affected
by the environment in which it is
placed and yields readily to selection.
so that the way for Improvement is
open to all who will make a systematic
study Of this important crop. The fact
that corn crosses so easily has resulted
in the development of numberless So
called varieties or strains, and it is
manifestely impossible to effect perma-
nent Improvement in any of these with
out first understanding their individual
pecultarities and the good and bad
points possessed by each.
CONSERVATION leans to the belief that
the indiscriminate crossing of plants
without first studying them carefully
and eliminating the hundreds of unde-
sirable varieties and the thousands of
useless individuals is waste Of time,
and that more permanent good can be
effected by making basic study Of va
rleties, rejecting all those that do not
reach definite standard, and then pro-
ceedfng to systematically improve

DoNTs FOR CHURCHMEN.

Don't doubt and hesitate. Remember
deeds cure doubts.
Don't plead poverty when duty calls.
No one is so poor that he cannot do
something
Don't look down, but up. The man
who constantly looks up rises to great
er possibilities
Don't try to define religion. Live 80
that your life will tell your fellow men
what it Is.
Don't give begrudgingly. Charity
without cheer is likely to leave the
world only more chilly.
Don't magnify your own ideas. Great
thoughts are those that go deep enough
to bear fruit In lives
Don't think that you can serve God
without serving humanity. He who
serves humanity serves God best.
Don't try to improve a man spiritual
" until you have ministered to his
physical condition. The half-starved
and half-clothed need something else
than directions regarding future life.

IHYMNs YOU OUGHT TO KNOW


Awake, My Soul.
Awake, my soul, and with the sun
Thy daily stage of duty run;
Shake off duh sloth, and joyful rise
To pay thy morning sacrifice.
Awake, lift up thyself, my heart,
And with the angels bear thy part,
Who all night long unwearied sing
High praises to tn eternal King.
Glory to thee, who safe hast kept,
And hast refreshed me while l slept;
Grant, Lord, when l from death shall
wake,
/ may of endless life partake.
Lord, l my vows to thee renew;
Scatter my sins as morning dew;
Guard my first springs of thought and
will,
And with myself my spirit fill.
Direct, control, suggest, this day,
All l design, or do, or say;
That all my powers with all my might,
In thy sole glory may unite.

rosy pippin and showed what great
stuff there is in the younger PLAYERS.
To criticize the youngsters would be
out OF all sense of proportion. for they
all tried their level best and strove
earnestly to do the right thing, and
there was no suspicion of flunking at
any stage of the game. 1t goes with
out saying that they did not play up
to tirst-eleven form, but they made up
for that by keenness and energy, and
the shape of their winds and general
condition would compare favorably
with those of many star player on
the older teams.
The game was an open one and was
very good to watch, in that one could
see the plays and observe just how
the kids expected to make their gains.
When they did make their gains they
took heart of grace accordingly and
tried another play. The High School
lads are to be congratulated on the
way they stayed together in the face
OF certain defeat, and the Punahou
lads have all the praise in the world
coming TO them for their clever and
weil-merited victory.

MYRTLES WILL
HOLD DOINGS

The Myrtles are going to hold some
big doings in the entertainment line
very soon. Saturday evening, Deem
Der 5, is the time set for the event, and
it viii take the form of chowder and
dance at the Moana Hotel.
Here is the Myrtle press agent on the
subject, and you can't beat him with
a mile start for handing out the calori-
fed atmosphere: 'The Myrtle Boat
Club is one of the strongest and most
popular organizations in town, so this
entertainment is sure to be a success.
The beach is especially beautiful by
moonlight and, on the Saturday of the
dance, the moon will be almost full.
The Moana Hotel is an ideal place for
entertaining, with its beautiful grounds,
spacious lanais and commodious ball
room.
With such young men as Tom King,
John and Will Soper and Irwin Spald-

without saying that the undertaking
will be one of the events of the year,
both socially and financially. The pa

Another player who visited Honolulu

Jack Bliss who was one Of st. Louis ,

Our old friend Heine Heitmuller is

Joe Curtis and Harry McArdle are
young stars who played with the San
Francisco club and are clever artists
in their positions Nick Williams, San
Francisco's sturdy 2frst baseman, is
back. He won the gold medal offered
by San Francisco paper to the most
popular player on the Pacific Coast this
summer, and he deserved it. Nick is
royal fellow as well as a capital player.

PUNAHOU KIDS
DOWN HIGHS
Oahu Third Eleven Scores Four
Times and Scores Fl to
High Schools 0.

The kidlet members of the High
School and Oahu College played game
of intercollegiate football yesterday af-
ternoon on Alexander field, and did
their best to put up a good game. In
spite of criticisms handed round by
their elders, which criticisms would
have been apt if applied to a Yale
Harvard game, the kids made
mighty good showing and the heavier
team won by four scores to nothing.
The Punahou boys were heavier and
had better team work and they had not
very much trouble in defeating the
High School. At that the Mckinley
boys did some very good work, nOta-
bly, in the second half and the end of
the first half The whistle blew for
half time with the High scholars MAX
ing series of bucked gains that were
rapidly carrying them to the Punahou
goal.
From first to last it was football of
the very simplest, and mass plays and
straight bucks were the features of the
game. The Oahu kids were stronger
than their opponents and managed to
fool them in their plays so that the
tackles and guards edged through and
broke away without. being tackled in
many eases.
The first score was made by Punahou
after eight minutes of play. They
bucked down the field, making gain
after gain and losing rarely, until
they were within a few yards of the
Punahou line. Then they simply con-
tinued to buck and went over the line
in the natural course of events.
The try was not converted and the
score stood to 0 for the Punahous.
The winners scored twice again in that
half, both touchdowns resulting from
a series of bucks and an end run just
before the center buck that scored. One
of these was converted and the score
stood f6 to when the whistle blew
for half-time.
After the first half the High School
took new lease of life and went
after their opponents like veritable
young demons. They made two gains
anu Iucu bIIGN d IOIWdIu pass WHICH
succeeded. Had it not been for the
memorable call of the timekeeper, they
might well have scored.
Neither side was subject to the
coach in entirety. Both officials had
been too busy with first and second
teams to give much attention to the
third elevens, so the youngsters went
in on their own hook and did the best
they could. Mr.. Blanchard was on the |
side lines, however, taking the game |
to heart, and he handed his boys
talk at half-time that showed them
where they were failing. He told them !
to stay low and play "ventre
terre," which they did in the second
half and came very near holding the
Oahu kidlets down to a no score.
The final score of the Punahous was
made through a magnificent run by
Donald Ross and then a grand cross
buck by Ballentyne, who crossed the
inc. That run was one round, red, [
