CHINESE PREPARING
FOR THEIR NEW YEAR

The Chinese New Year of 1908, which
will fall on the 1st of February next.
will be one that will be remembered
by the Chinese of Honolulu. Although
it is nearly a month ahead yet, the
Chinese are making preparations for
the celebration and when Konohi ar
rives everything will be in readiness
to make that day q happy one.
From now on, steamers arriving
from the Orient will carry supplies of
every description consigned to Chinese
merchants here for the New Year holi-
days. In the Chinatown quarters, the
lantern-makers will be kept busy max
ing lanterns of different sizes and col
ors. The Chinese women at home may
be seen sewing dresses for the chill
dren, as it is customary with Chinese
that new clothes should be worn IN
the holiday season.
The Americanfzed Chinese here are
not slow with their plans this year for
socials. sports, etc. The members OF
the Chinese Aloha Club are making
preparations for a grand concert and
dance to be given at the K. OF r nan
on the eve of Chinese New Year. Thls
is the first OF its kind ever given mere.
The Chinese Athletic Club will hold It's
annual meet at the Boys Field on Feb
1st. and from what can be seen now'
this year will surpass all those OF for
mer times.

Mr.. CooIey's express orders. I asked

he had
Well, we will just close up the en-
gagement tonight I said. Under our
contracts am IN control of the local
advertising, as have to pay for it.
And felt that this was a breach of
faith and an intrusion into my affairs
that could not be tolerated.
''I suppose that Mr.. Joy told Mr..
Cooley what I had said. T naturally
expected that he would. I also ex-
pected that Mr.. Cooley would make an
explanation of why he had insisted on
the announcement of an extension of
the season before we had heard from
Mr.. Elleford or had an opportunity to
hear from him. But though Mr. Cooley,
on every other day the company has
been here, has spent great deal of
his time at the box office, he did not
come around at all today. He did not
even come for his mail. He avoided
me.
This evening I received note from
Mr.. Cooley asking that this. bill be
paid, and that that one be paid, and
for a settlement of accounts with the
company. With this request I fully
complied, making out the accounts and
writing out receipt for Mr.. Cooley
to sign which he did, when it was
taken to him, and paid the accounts.
The messenger whom he had sent to
me- Mr.. Brown, brought me a note
from Mr.. Cooley in which he said that
he understood from Mr.. Joy that 1 in

asking me for a statement of my in
tentions by this messenger.

my intentions were and that he could

would close the show tonight.

at the Orpheum, the company would

GETTING 1T CREDITED RIGHT.
Another instance of the Success of
Persistency.

Every time I visit Maine I hear a
new series of stories concerning Camp
Meeting John Allen, grandfather of
Nine. Nordica, and one of the most
picturesque characters of his time.
Apropos of the rate laws, n very in
teresting story is told. 1t occurred
when Gov. Morrill, was president of
the Maine Central. Aliens applica-
tons were refused a number of times,
because If there was one thing above
all others which Morrill, disliked it was
to issue passes; ar antipathy which
is now regarded as a kind of prophecy
of recent legislative enactment. The
governor came down to his Office in a
somewhat brusque frame of mind that
day. Those familiar with the storm
signals quietly backed off and waited
for an explosion. 1t anne. One of
the first letters opened was from
Camp Meeting John Allen, requesting
a pass for self and wife" The sec
rotary approached his chief with some
hesitation.
Here is another letter from Mr..
Allen asking for a pass" he said,
and laid the missive gingerly on the
governors desk.
The governor read it through, and
blazed away for a few minutes; then,
tossing the letter to the astonished
secretary, he said: Make it out"
The young man retired and began
to fill in the various blank lines. but
when he came on what account the
pass was issued, he was puzzled and
ventured to seek information.
ION what account, governor" he
asked.
The chief looked irately over his
spectacles.
Account, account?-account of id
persistence-be sure and put it in,
too" and he growled as the young
man passed out: These Methodist
parsons may have to get us all passes
on the DAD to heaven, and | want the

tons with Camp Meeting John Aliens

the same proportion as when he used
his own materials, grown on his farm
and possibly supplemented by ground
feed from the local mill or feed store.
These balanced rations are often
found, by analysis, to consist of the
"taillngS' of mills, elevators and brew
cries mixed with molasses and salt to
make the compound palatable to the
cattle. And one Of the largest stock
food companies is said to use fine

finely ground alfalfa hay, and other
common food stuff worth S. to s25 per
ton, a high percentage of refuse and
non-nutritious matter, some of which
may be positively dangerous to the
health of his stock.
Naturally the question is asked by
the farmer: How may L detect any or
all of these fakes when they are Of
fered to me? In the first place bear in
mind that the department of a%gricult-
ure and experiment stations are very
chary Of giving endorsements which
may in any manner be used to the
commercial advantage of any person,
firm or corporation. These depart
rnents are conducted for the benefit
OF the people as a whole and great
care is taken to prevent their author
ity or influence from being ~subverted
to the special advantage of any per-
son or individual enterprise. There
fore, when the seller of selected or
"pedigreed" seed grains. of a remedy
for hog cholera or of a balanced ra-
ton for the quick %fattening of cattle
claims that his wares have the en-
dorsement of a department OF agri-
culture or a state station it is safe to
assume hat he is a %swindler. At any
rate, there is only one safe rule to
follow: Do not buy until o have
written TO the department or station
from which it is claimed that the
endorsement comes. You will get 8
prompt answer-and | believe that
your inquiry will generally save you
from being swindled. In the matter
of buying choice see grains l would
add this suggestion: Your safest
course is to buy only of those firms
that you know to have large tracts
of lands specially devoted to the sci
entific cultivation of grains for seed
ing-grains which have made a rec
ord for strong vitality and large de-
pendable productiveness. There are
plenty of these great seed farms
which are scientifically and honestly
conducted by men of capability and
established reputation. Still another
suggestion. which applies to all the
cardinal interests of the farmer, is to
read the bulletins and reports of the
agriculture departments and state sta
lions Systematically and carefully.
This will do much to protect you from
imposition on the part of s%windlers
who base their hopes of success on
the enlightened sentiment for progress
sive farming awakened by the nation
al and state departments, for it will
| give you actual knowledge as to what
is and what is not commended by
those authorities.

TO KEEP SUPPLY OF STOCKS.
No Problem at All for Those Skiliful

demand for all kinds of stocks. Their
attractiveness depends SO much on
their freshness that a generous sup

the needle a great many of these
pretty trifies may be made for little
expense.
One chic stock is made of linen.
The collar is made of double material
and there are two shaped pieces of
single linen embroidered. These
pieces are the width Of the collar in
back and taper to the front, where
they are In inch wide. They lap in
the front and button. One piece is set
in the end of the collar, between the
two pieces of linen. The other piece
is finished neatly and is fastened
to the top and bottom of the other
end of the collar. This leaves a long
opening like a large buttonhole. The
first end passes through this. The
tab end is made of two shaped strips
of linen, single pieces, and is joined
by embroidery. This tab end is sep
arate and slips between the collar and
the buttoned ends.
Any simple design may be embroid-
cred on the ends of the tab on one
