THE ENTRIES FOR THE POULTRY
SHOW WILL CLOSE ON WE'D
NESDAY NEXT.

Entries for the poultry close on
Wednesday, January 6, when every eX-
hibition will have selected his best
birds and entered them with the Sec
rotary of the Hawaiian Poultry Asso-
citation, which issued its fourth an
nual premium list some weeks ago.
The pick of the flock" both in
poultry and pigeons, are having every
attention necessary to make their first
meeting with the judge an agreeable
one-and perhaps memorable for
prizes won. All will be in the pink OF
condition as to health, weight correct
shape and color-as described by the
American Standard of Perfection. This
book enables the breeder to make
careful selections for show purposes,
and names the disqualifications that
sometimes put an otherwise fine spe-
cimen out of the race, thus saving the
owner the disappointment of getting
no score on his bird.
To exhibit good bird in the COM
pany of other good specimens is the
only way to ascertain IT'S strong or
weak points, and show the owner how
he can improve his matings for next
seasons breeding, or perhaps his Sc
lection of birds to exhibit.
With this striving for birds of ideal
shape and color comes an ample sup
ply of stock to furnish eggs and meat
for the home table.
Among those entering birds in the
coming show are many new exhibit
tors, and some of the "old standby
exhibitors promise larger entries this
year. having made friends and sales
through their display at last years eX-

These annual shows have stimulat-
ed interest and faith in pure-bred
poultry until now nearly all known
varieties are continually being i'm
ported, and in many instances from
the yards of some of Americas most
noted poultry breeders, both in the
East and West and from Canada and
the Colonies.

which appears at the Honolulu Opera

dear, kind-hearted, optimistic soul, see
ing everything through rose-colored
spectacles, appears to have been trans
planted from the printed page to the
lighted stage, without having lost one
vestige of her sterling goodness. The
honey wholesome philosophy of Mrs.
Wigs, with her quaint sayings and
her optimism that cannot be subdued,
even under the most depressing cir
cumstances, is uplifting and at the
same time thoroughly amusing. The
play itself is homely story of hui
mainly and real goodness, honesty and
right purpose, with a pardon in sight
for every sinner who looks for it.
There are thirty in the cast and even
the goat and "Cuby," the fit horse"
bid for popular approval. The scenery
is not elaborate in the sense of being
snowy, but it is descriptive of humble
surroundings and preserves the atmos-
phere of the play. Ada Dwyer, VINO
plays the title role has scored the hit
of her career in the part OF Mrs. Wigs,
which is so inviting in both its humOr-
Gus possibilities and it's heart interest.

ed today as probably the best inter
prefer of village types upon the stage,

is second only to that of Mrs. Wigs
in the play itself. Little Miss Hazy,
the meek and shiftless neighbor of

D|ETERT SAW

Honolulu Equipment Compares
Fav0rabIy With
Others.

Ri. Dietert, a dredging engineer of
San Francisco, who has been in Homo
lulu since the last arrival Of the Hi
lOnian, departed for San Francisco on
the Mongolia. He has devoted most of
his engineering career to money-saving
devices on dredging plants, and is also
connected with the San Francisco
Bridge Company, one of the well-known
dredging companies Of the Pacific
Coast.
Mr.. Dietert while here looked over
the dreugers and all equipment of the
Hawaiian Dredging Company and made
many valuable suggestions concerning
its adaptation for the big Pearl Har-
Dor dredging contract.
The visitor was very much surprised
to find how really up-to-date Honolulu
is, having something of an idea formed
before coming that he would find a
primitive town and things more or less
behind the times. After inspecting the
Hawaiian Dredging Company's equip
ment. he said that the plant for its
size favorably compares with others.

even his serenity. Being called out of
bed to answer a can at four o clock in
the morning is rather too much of a
joke, at any rate. The conversation
was along this order:

Ours is a wonderful age, the flower of

One Of those is materialism. All

tests-to the hammer, the scalpel, the
testing tube. Whatever may not be
tested, must be thrown aside. All else
is doubtful Still, materialism, once

More and more are scholarly people

Commercialism is another tendency
to be deplored. The gold standard is

FIRST SERMON
BY DR.. JONES
Methodist Congregation Hears
Solid Address by New
Pastor.

Rev. j. T. Jones, d. D., the newly
appointed pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church, preached his first
sermon last evening to large congre-
cation. In his Introductory remarks
DR.. Jones stated that his first SER
mons to his new congregations would
be plain, practical gospel addresses,
without any attempt TO outline
course of procedure for aggressive
work until he became more familiar
with the needs of the congregation.
The outlook for the Methodist
church appears to be more hopeful thin
ever, and there seems now to be Is
surance that large and beautiful
church edifice will be erected on thu
splendid lot which now belongs to the
congregation.
DR.. Jones spoke last evening on the
text, "For me to live is Christ, and to
die is gain.'' He said in part:
"To be holy, devout Christian
should be the supreme desire of all;
but, alas, the question that occupies
the thoughts of the majority of man
kind is not, What must / do to be
saved? but What shall / eat, and what
shall I drink, and wherewithal shall I
be clothed? But the author of our
text gave all diligence to make his
calling and election sure, and, con-
scious of the reality of his religion
and the blessedness of his experience,
could cheerfully say, For to me to
live is Christ; and to die is gain y

"The passage, For me to live is
Christ, is susceptible of two interpre-
tations. both of which are highly in
structive and inspirational Christ is
the source of the Christian s spiritual
life and power. The bird flying with
lightning speed through the air may
say, For me to fly is the air. The
