man in any business can afford
to tie himself to the old ways of
doing things. The banker who
would attempt to do banking
along the lines in use twenty
years ago would be pronounced
an old fogy. The merchant who
would try to follow in the ways
of his father would soon become
. a bankrupt. The doctor who
would content himself with the
remedies once in use would soon
be without patients, the lawyer
without clients and the news
paper man without readers.
Pick up a copy of this paper and
compare it with an issue of gen
Grafton ago, and the only simil-
arity would probably be in the
name. Farming will never oc-
cupy the place it should in the
estimation of the people until un-
til farmers appreciate the fact
agricultural methods are adj
vancing along with everything
else.
We often see articles in the
papers deploring the fact that
boys and girls are growing away
from the farms. Many reasons
are advanced, but the true rea-
son, as you are bound to admit,
is because so many farms are
not kept up with the times.
Children born today are not
satisfied with the things that
satisfied them in your childhood.
They should not be censured
for this feeling. 1t is but the
evolution of the times, and they
are merely following the Unborn
inclination of human creatures
for advancement. 1t is this that
characterizes people and distin-
guishes them from the lower
order of things. Farmers who
wish to keep their children on
the farm should recognize this
fact and prepare to meet it.
Make farm life, as far as it is in
your power, such that it will be
adapted to the children of today
rather than the the children of
fifty or a hundred years ago.
When the child comes to town
from the average country home
in the South there is such mark
ed contrast with his home sur
roundings that an intense yearn-
ing is created for the things
seen. He drives to town along
shady avenues and streets; there
are no pretty shady lanes about
his home, beauty being sacrific-
ed to utility, and he longs for
the things that are beautiful.
He passes by comfortable, fresh
painted homes, set on grassy
lawns, surrounded by brilliant
flower beds, and he broods over
the lack Of these things at home.
He meets neatly clothed children
on the streets and hangs his
head at his own rough attire.
He hears music and laughter and
song coming. from the houses he
passes and his soul is made to
feel its own barrenness. The
churches, the schools, every
thing is in such marked contrast
with his own humble surround
ing that he determines to escape
from the farm at the earliest
possible moment, and who can
blame him?
Endeavor to make your farm
home as attractive as possible,
and home life as pleasant for the
boys and girls as you can. Teach
them that work is honorable and
point out to them the monotOny
of the work in the town in con-
trast with that of the farm. Have
a time for work and a time for
play, and do not allow the work
time to trespass on that of the
play. Take part with the chill

BLANCHE ARRAL

If there are any musical enthusiasts
in Honolulu they can enthuse over the
program to be presented tomorrow ev-
ening at the Opera House. Contrary
to the usual concert program which
generally consists of a few ballads and
one grand aria, Nine ArraIs set num-
bers are all grand arias, and she
has sung as encores arias any of
which another singer would be
glad to use as a piece de resis-
lance. Never before has such a
magnificent program been offered to
La Honolulu public and on the word Of
the management it comprises the best
of Madame's repertoire. is it possible
that Honolulu does not appreciate the
magnificent music which is being Offer
ed to it by an artistic who is on no
less authority than the Melbourne Cri-
tic. an extremely conservative paper,
the finest singer ever heard in Aus
traiia? To use the exact words, THAT
song alone (Valse des OrseauX), placed
her above all singers ever heard in the

fleet decorations, it being planned to
have two thousand incandescents,
red, white and blue, exclusive of the
thousands to be placed at the Capt.

A test of all the electrical effects
will be made next Sunday night.

THE WISDOM OF
SOLOMON AND
1T
BEAUTY OF SHEBA

The Queen Of Sheba was strictly on
to the needs of her special mission,
and ancient historians tell US that she
appeared before Solomon as fully and
completely CARRIED as the weather and
the Royal Chamberlain would allow;
and this pleasing result was mostly
due TO the method and hustle Of her
baggage foreman, who succeeded in
getting all her Majestys boxes to the
Hotel De Jerusalem on time, altho,'
much TO the Royal regret, he was COM
PEELED TO use swears-instead of pray
ers-to the camels.
We wonder at the Wisdom of Solo
mon and The Beauty of Sheba, but It
they had lived in the twentieth century
they would undoubtedly have made ar
rangements with properly organized
Transfer and Shipping Company, and,
thus insured prompt and reliable re-
suits.
We are led to this conclusion by the
observation of the safety and care with
which the visitor and the home-seeker
can Journey to Honolulu, and also the
care that is extended to him and his
property upon arrival in the Territory;
in fact even before his arrival Cor de-
parture) his baggage is checked to des-
tination, and always arrives on time;
this desirable result obtains because of
the modern methods, absolute system,
and personal supervision of the Union
Pacific Company, which has made the
transfer shipping and fireproof stor-
age business of Honolulu its own.
All this has been effected by the
consolidation Of two of the largest
businesses OF the kind in the city,
whose ample facilities, plant and ap-

The Hawaiians join enthusiast

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Prohibition In Jefferson.

To the Editor of the Age-Herald.
 l must confess l think we need more men like MT. T. c. Mcdonald, who speak as they see things as regards prohibition, How true is his statement in the Age Herlad of the 17th instant when he says that Crime has not diminished and that whisky is being sold regardless of law. The Law and Order league of 100, the sheriff and police are not keeping whisky from being sold, and they never will. hope the prohibitonists will pardon the assertion that today in Jefferson county whisky is being sold dt's no secrep in 800 places and in Birmingham in 25 places. Every mining camp or hop-jack stand in the county is selling whisky and anybody can get whisky
 MT. Higden or MT. Bodeker could get it in plain clothes. It's alarming how little people regard the prohibition law. It will open the eyes of Sheriff Higden or any member of the Law and Order league to get out around any of the stands that dispense soft drinks and see how easy it is to get whisky by the drink or quart or beer in any way Doesn't ev- cry advocate of prohibition know that there's no profit in the soft drink pusi-

Mayor suuas Warns ldIers.

Mayor Sugg made it quite clear in police court this morning that the city would break up idleness among the young men about town. A well-known young man of some prominence was charged with dis orderly conduct His honor recognized the young man as a member of a clique which usually hangs around the street corners at night and in the poolrooms during the day Among the spectators in the courtroom were a number of friends of the defendant. Mayor Sugg called them before him and gave them a good lecture. He warned every young man in the crowd to secure employment at once and gave them until Monday morning to secure the same. He instruct ed the chief of police to go with the young men to the different industries in Ensley and if unable to secure employ ment for them to notify him and he would see that they found work The mayor concluded by saying that if any one of their number did not go to work by Mon day morning he would put them to work on the streets. The news of the mayors s sermon soon spread over the city and the mayor was commended on all sides for the stand he has taken.

 Charcoal has long been known as great absorbent of gas. A painful of char coal will positively purify a room filled with foul odors and decay. It's absorbing ratio is one hundred times greater than its own volume.
 The ancients gave charcoal for many human ills successfully. The North Amer ican Indians used it for snake bite, poison from eating wild herbs. and cured what they called stomach bad medicine" with it.
