Don't Fail 20 Build a SilO.

If YOU are going to feed stock, YOU

dug great pits in the ground and

planted corn only a little more thlck-

good ears TO go into the silo and more
mature corn, so that the sllage had
the pleasant OdOr OF georgia syrup

Then the cold cement walls OF the

Proposed Program
For Service Meet

Now that the Army and Navy
track meet for Thanksgiving Day
is being lined up in fine style, in
terest In the event is being worked
up to great extent. The idea OF
proper track meet for the service
originated in the head OF Graham
of the weekly paper Service" and
II was eagerly taken up by the OFF,
GERS of the different branches OF
the army.
Lieutenant Kilgore of the Marines
is very keen on the proposition, and
his suggestion as to program In
cludes the following events: 100.
900, $40, $50. half mile, one mile
and five miles runs. Hurdle races
over 100 and 22O yards also are pro-
posed, and then the pole vault, high
jump, broad jump, relay race, shot
put, hammer throwing and wall seal
ing will also be on the program.
The above program would be an
ideal one, but 1t is only suggested
~ " ANaNy
to give their ideas on the subject.
The genial sport, A. X. Vierra, is
greatly in favor of the scheme. and
is doing his best to boom the track
meet. A. X. is always on the look
out to assist In any sporting event.
and as he is acquainted with lot
of officers he will be able to preach
the gospel OF track meet to all and
sundry.
THANKSGIVING Day will be good
day for the meet. as everybody will
be able to attend. Lieutenant Kill
gore is now getting his boys into
form. and is arranging for running
shoes and costumes for them.
The Marines are fortunate in hav-
ing fine training ground, and they
will at once start in to hard work In
order to fit themselves for the great
day. The Fort Shafter, Leilehua,
Engineers and Artillery officers are
requested to get in touch with Lieu
tenant Kilsore and arrange for a
meeting, when officials can be elect
ed and start made on the program,
etc.
The ground has also to be select
ed. and that will be an important
matter; some favor the Athletic
Park and others the League grounds,
but nothing definite is settled so
far.

Y.M.C.A. Booklet
Makes Impression

DR.. Hand of the Y. NJ. C. A. has
published a little booklet called
Straight Tips" and It is sure the
correct dope as regards young and
middle-aged men getting fit and
well the reading matter is gotten
up in attractive form and some OF
the sayings are as quaint as those
OF the famous BILLY Baxter
The object OF the booklet is to at
tract young men to the Y. M. C. A.
gymnasium, and to gradually entice
them into going in for physical exer-
cises that will benefit them a lot.
The advantages of the Y. NJ. c. A.
are plainly stated, and, judging from
the number of favorable comments
which were made on the booklet yes
terday large number of men intend
Joining the associate In the near
future.
On Thursday evening next the So
cial year of the Y. M. c. A. will
open, and great preparations have
been made for the event. Some fine
stunts are to be brought off, and the
refreshments are going to be the
best ever. A big crowd is sure to
roll up on Thursday night, and the
lucky ones that get In will surely
have the time of their lives.

Marines To Play
Colorado Jackies

On Thursday at the Athletic Park
the U. S. S. Colorado baseball nine
will play the Marines, and a really
good game should be pulled of. The
game will start at 3 o'clock and a
big crowd Is sure to be in attend
ance.
The sailors have been practicing u
lot lately, and were out at the
League grounds yesterday and had
a hit or two. The Colorado boys
are showing fine form and should
give the Marines a tight go for the
honors.
Tomorrow afternoon Eddie Fer
Landez will try to get team to-
gether to have game with the sail
ors and play will start about 4
O'Clock, II the match is coming of.

Great Baseball
Next Sunday

On Sunday next the long-talked-
of baseball game between the Kali
his and Marines will be played.
These teams played tie some weeks
ago and ever since then the fans
have been waiting anxiously to see
the mines play 1t of.
The Athletic Park is sure to be
crowded on Sunday. for, besides the
above game, another fine stunt will
be when the j. A. C.s go up against
the U. s. s. Tennessee, which team
last Sunday defeated the c. A. C.s
The japanese team reckon that they
can do what the Chinese failed to
do. and there. will surely be huge
crowd on hand to see them attempt
to make the trick.
The Tennessee nine put up a
grand brand of ball, and It will take
the j. A. C.s all their lives to hand
the lemon to the sailors. The game
last Sunday went ten innings be-
fore the Jackies won, and then the
score was only to 2.
There is chance of the Diamond
Heads playing the champion nine
of the feet next Saturday. and such
a game should simply pack the Park
or Leagu" grounds. The West Vir-
ginia team Is the champion of the
Fleet, and meeting between the
iailors and the Jewels should be
worth going miles on hands and
knees to see.
AS soon as the ships return the
mater will be taken up, and the
probabilities are that the game will
be played for sure.
There will be some fine ball played
from now on till the men-of-war
leave for the east, and when the
Jackies play the landsmen there
will be something doing in the way
of roofing that will astonish the
local followers of the game.

Great Ball When
Saints Play 0 huans

When the challenge of the St.
Louis nine, to the pick OF the Oahu
League was published In the Blu e.
II yesterday 1t caused lot of ex-
| citement, and the fans at once be-
gan to consider the pros and cons
of the situation.
both teams have their support
ers. and the game will cause more
rivalry than any match that has
been played in Honolulu for many a
long day. The Saints are, on present
form, the best team In the Big
League, and they are putting up a
great brand of ball every Saturday.
They know the finer points ofthe
game little better than the Jun
iors, and Williams and Soares are
very heady players, who know how
to hold team together.
On the other hand, the Oahu
League has a big lot of men to
choose from, and very strong nine
can be made up. II they only get
a little practice together before they
play the Saints, good game should
eventuate.
The question of the quality OF
ball played by the Oahu League, as
compared with the Honolulu League,
Is yeSed matter, and many have
been the arguments between the
supporters of the two leagues. the
Sunday fans cannot see where the
Saturday bunch comes In, and the
Honolulu League men won't concede

PROPER WAY TO DRIVE NAIL
Expert Carpenter Gives Some Point
ers as to This Seemingly Simple
Proceeding.

1T takes an apprentice a full year
to learn that he does not know how to
drive nail," said an expert carpenter.
"When once he has realized this it is
only matter of a few minutes to
learn how it should be done. The
commonest mistake is the belief that
a hard blow with the hammer is more
effective than several little taps, and
the learner is inclined to admire the
man who drives nail all the way in
with but one blow This is where he
is wrong; four or five blows are much
better than one. The reason is that
one hard blow inevitably makes the
nail rebound, ever so slightly, it is
true. but enough to make it hold less
firmly than it would if driven in
gradually The nail may be driven
almost all the way with one blow, but
several lighter taps are necessary to
finish the job.
another thing" continued the old
carpenter, "the beginner generally
tries to drive his nails as perpendicu-
Iarly as possible This is another
error. for a nail driven a little diagon-
ally holds the parts together much
more firmly than one driven perpen-
dicularly. And in driving a nail
to proceed with gentle taps, for hard
blows inevitably displace the surfaces
that are to be held together"

TRAIN CHILDREN FGH FARM
Trade Schools Have Been Found
Good, Why Not Include Teach
ing of Agriculture?

Prof. Paul Hanus of the Harvard
summer school told 500 teachers who
are students in the school about the
need of the trade school as an extern
sion of the public school to save mil
lions of American children from the
calamity of starting in life as I'M
skilled laborers. Starting so, the pro-
fessOr said, means no career.
"All their lives they must be under
lings, except in rare instances" The
same day or the next, Secretary Will
son was saying in Washington.
while the population of the United
States has been steadily increasing
through the usual additions at home
and from immigration. the cultivated
area of the country is decreasing.
Thousands of acres formerly raising
products that made the food of the
country have gone back to pasturage.
The farmers simply cannot get the
men to raise crops"
1t is by no means a bad idea to
teach farming to some of the prospec-
tive unskilled laborers. AS it is, in
the east at any rate, the farmer boy
is apt to see his best chance in learn
ing to be some sort of a mechanic.
Skilled labor is everywhere needed.
The problem for the boy of IA or Is
who expects to work with his hands is
to give him the skill to work to adj
vantage. To that end the experts in
public education now advocate the es-
tablishment of trade schools to give
vocational training to children who
now leave the public school at IA.
Very well; the plan looks good. But
please include farming in the voca-
tons for which training is to be given
and try to make that look better as
compared with the rival empioyments.

Set Sensible Fashion.

Queen Alexandra of England is cred
tied with having been the means OF
emancipating English and American
children from many foolish and IN
comfortable fashions. At the time of
her marriage to the heir of the English
throne children in fashionable families
were rarely seen outside of their nurs-
cries, but when the young Danish prin-
cess began to keep her children about
her and to have her picture taken
holding them in her arms the fashion
changed and devoted motherhood be-
came the hallmark of American and
English smartIess. She also had her
sons clothed in comfortable sailor
suits and her two daughters, the pres
ent queen of Norway and the Princess
Victoria, were allowed to wear the
loose wooden jerseys which are now
SO much worn by schoolgirls.
