HIGHER i E PRICES
Farm Products Pay Well Com
pared With Democratic Days
and Revenue Tariff.

In his western addresses Mr.. Taft
entered into the direct discussion of
matters that affect every farmer, and
business man in the northwest and
which nave a bearing on national
legislation. Mr.. Taft's knowledge of
legislation by congress and the effects
of the policy of the past and present
all unite to make
him well posted on the subject he is
talking about. Few men in the
country have Lad the advantages he
has had of studying the great ques-
tions discussed, knowing the results
of experience. and the needs of the
future. Mr.. Taft referred to the low
prices for farm products that pre-
vailed for number Of years under
the democratic administration, and
pointed out that Mr.. Bryan's proph-
ecies of business disaster unless the
democrats we're again restored to
power had proved false. Mr.. TAFT
said:

to the farmers now. The farmers to:
day have higher prices than they
ever had. We do not claim-the re-

BORN IN A COTTAGE.

cit is all like dream to me. When
I remember the modest little cottage
in which I was born at Niche, near
Prague, and the small market garden
in which my father worked early and
late to provide living for his family,
and the struggle he made to educate
his children properly, and when think
of the rude violin made by my father
out of cigar boxes and upon which he
gave me my first and most valued
music lessons; and then look upon the
magnifcence surrounding me and hear
the plaudits of the multitude when I
play, / wonder il | am not in a trance

FRESH SHAD SOLD
IN LOCAL MARkE 7

The people of Honolulu have a treat
at hand in the fresh shad now on sale
in the Metropolitan Meat Market.
This is one of the most precious of the
gourmet's edibles in the East, where
the season begins June 10 and con-
tinues for two months. Shad roe,
which does not seem to come to Ha-
wall with the California shad, is ia
vorite breakfast bit with men who
know good things to eat It is fried
and served with a sauce of lemon
butter. The fish itself may be broiled
or baked and served very hot with a
sauce of drawn butter and a little
lemon. Though there is plenty of
bones in the fish, the flavor of the
flesh is so good that the ineonveni-
ence of picking them out is overlook
ed. The present supply of s1ad in
the market is not large, and as it
has it's original flavor in spite of be-
ing kept on ice, it is not likely to
remain long unsoid.

THE DREAM FOOD FROM GREECE

Hashish, that strange drug which has
given our language it's word assassin"
"a man so frenzied by the drug that
he accomplishes a MURDERS used by
the Persians, Turks and Egyptians in
a manner akin to the use of opium
by the Chinese. 1t is the product of a
plant grown in large quantities in the
Peloponnesus (Southern Greece in the
district about Tripolitza. The plant
grows to a height of about four feet
and it's branches are thickly covered
with small leaves and studded with
tiny seeds.
The entire plant, stalk and branches,
is cut within a few inches of the root
and laid out in the sun to dry. The
branches are then rubbed to separate
the seeds, and these in turn are ground
into a fine powder, which constitutes
the drug. The drug has the power of
inducing sleep and producing pleasant
and fantastic dreams. Continued use
of hashish renders it's devotees wild
and reckless and results in complete
wreck of their mental and physical
constitution.
For this reason the Egyptian govern
ment has prohibited the importation
of the drug, and recently entered into
a convention with Greece to prevent its
expectation from there to Egypt, where
the consumers of hashish are very
numerous The drug is practically
never used in Greece, but it is now ex-
ported to the various ports in England,
Austria, France and Italy, and from
there much. no doubt, ultimately finds

Kilohana Art
League Notes
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.


On Tuesday evening at eight o'clock
the invitational first view reception
will be held.
This is the thirtieth semiannual ex-
hibition which we have been pleased
to present to the public of Honolulu.
On Wednesday morning the public
view begins. All are invited to at
tend. The hours are from nine to five
each day, and from 7:30 to 9 each
evening. The exhibition will be open
for two weeks.
On Friday evenings the exhibition
will not be open.
During the hours of from three to
five each afternoon tea will be served
by the ladies of the pictorial and lit
erary circles, in the library. All mem
bers are urged TO come and bring
their friends. After viewing the ex-
hibition, the pleasant groups which
collect in the library and enjoy look
ing at the art magazines and books,
and taking a friendly cup of tea, are
feature of the leagues life which
must be enjoyed to be appreciated.
The appointments made and the
meetings held in the library on the
afternoons of the last exhibition were
very few for league affairs. Church
seemed to keep people busy, especially
st. Andrews. 1t has given the league
much pleasure to have their rooms
used for committee meetings and sew
ing circles connected with such good
causes.
A cordial invitation is extended to
all to visit the exhibit beginning on
Wednesday. Entrance and catalogues
free of charge.

Lies Story of Worlds Great.
est vi0linist, Jan kubelik,
Told by Himself.

Jan Kubelik, whose genius has es-
tablished him in the front rank of the
worlds great violinists, tells the story
of his life, ambitions and the realiza-
tions of them in the Musical America,
of New York. The story is one of a
rise from cottage to palace, of the
struggle upwards from almost poverty
to riches, brought about through his
magic skill with the bow.
fInto nv life thus far has been
crowded, | think, far more than falls
to the average man in his first twenty
seven years." he says. "Most of this
experience, much of it strange and won
derful from the standpoint of the boys
among whom my childhood was spent,
has come to me in the past nine years,
or since my graduation from the
Prague Conservatory.
'FAt that time I was penniless and
unknown; since then I have played be-
fore thousands of people in every part
of Europe, America and Australia; have
been honored by crowned heads, and
have become the husband of the most
beautiful woman in the world, the
father of four daughters first two
of them twins-and the owner of By
