Some twenty fairs will be held
in this state this fall. Every farm
er ought to attend at least one fair.
He ought to take his family with
him. Let us gather together the
best products of the farms and gar
dens at these fairs and take our
families and exchange congratula-
tions with our neighbors on the re-

valuable lessons will be learned and
all will go home feeling that they
have gained something from a visit
TO the local fair.

After two years successive tests
in feeding cotton seed and cotton
seed meal to hogs with a definite
and In view. and after practical at
tempts to use these products Ia a
similar manner for the past ten
years, we do not hesitate to ex-
press our candid opinion that there
is no profit whatever In feeding
cotton seed in any form, or cotton
seed meal, to hogs of any age. It
is fact which no amount of the
ory can overcome, that it is practi-
cally impossible to prepare cotton
seed or cotton seed meal In any
manner SO that hogs will eat 1t
greedily. Not all the animals die,
but the mortality is large.-Prof.

Magnificent country homes well
furnished, telephones, books, pa
pers, good roads, fine horses and
carriages, fine clothing to wear,
and plenty of money to spend will
keep the boys on the farm. 1t is
useless to urge them to stay on the
farm unless the conditions are sat-
isfactory. We must make more
per acre and cultivate more land
per hand and thereby increase the
earning. capacity Of the farmers.
We need to learn how to make
more money on the farm. Farmers
boys love to spend money.

Remember that the bulletin tells
you that all of the ears must be as
nearly as possible the same size

WILL ENFORCE NEW
Law VERY STRICTLY

President Mott.Smith of the Board
of Health, is taking steps to enforce
that provision in the new leprosy law
which makes it obligatory upon all
physicians and police officers to report
to the board any leper or suspected
leper that they know of. The law at
taches penalty of not to exceed 800
fine for failure to comply with this
provision, and in addition any physician
who does not report any cases he may
know of is liable to lose his license to
practise, while any police officer is
liable to lose his job.
President Mott-Smith is preparing n
letter to be sent out to every practis
ing physician and every police officer
in the Territory, calling attention to
this provision of the new law, and he
announces that he intends to see that
those whom it affects live up to it.
This means that it is the intention
of the Board of Health to effect n
thorough cleaning up of the disease In
this Territory.

Drouin is nearsighted, wears specta.

he may now be wearing beard, as
formerly he wore Van Dyke. The
man was employed as bookkeeper in
the Hotel Bellevue at Boston. On June

he is alleged to have raised to $4,000
and deposited in bank. A few days
later he drew $500 and skipped.

EXPENSE
(Erom Thursdays Advertiser.)

(F'rom Thursdays Advertiser.)
Fifty families, NOT to exceed $50
persons in all, will comprise the first
party of Russian immigrants to be
brought here by the Board of Immi-
grafton. At Tuesday afternoon 8 meet
ing of the board, this was decided upon,
and a special committee of two was ap-
pointed to draft an agreement with A.
w. Perelstrous who will undertake to
secure the immigrants.
A. l.. c. Atkinson and f. II. Wode-
house, the members of the special COM
mittee, yesterday morning sent cable
grams to the headquarters offices of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company and
the Togo Kisen Kaisha, asking what
rates would be made on n party Of
$50 persons. Answers to the cables
are expected today. On their receipt,
q special meeting of the Board of I'M
migration will be called and the form
of agreement will be submitted for APP
prevail.
Should the agreement prove satisfac-
tory to the board, and also to Perel-
strous, it will be duly signed and the
way will be clear for the departure OF
Perelstrous by the next steamer for the
Orient.
The board has changed it's mind re-
garding the arrangement to be made
with Perelstrous, and will take up the
first offer made by the contractor. I'm
der this arrangement the board will
pay the fares of the immigrants, and
will pay Perelstrous lump sum large
enough TO cover his expenses, per diem
charges and commission. A careful tab
will be kept on all expenses, that the
board may know just what it costs per
capita to land the Russians here.
1t is expected that the cost per cap
ita for the initial experiment will be
considerably heavier than will be the
case later on, should the Russians be
brought here in larger numbers,
If Russian immigration is to be kept
up, it must be ascertained that the peo-
| pie can be brought here economically,
| and the board believes that it can get
better line on the cost by paying all
expenses and allowing Perelstrous u
certain commission for his work.
Only field hands will be brought, it
| being the intention of the board to Sc
| cure immigrants who understand agri-
culture thoroughly, and thus can be
taken as a fair sample Of what may be
expected of colonists from the land Of
the Gar.
When the men arrive they win be
| placed on plantations where they can
be carefully watched. Not only n
mans ability to work will be taken
into consideration, but also his willing
ness to stay at work.
Careful tab will be kept on the daily
output Of each man, and also on the
number of days in a month that he
works. The showing, from month to
month, will be taken into consideration
when deciding whether or not it may
be wise to bring in Russians on a
larger scale.

FREED
IUNOER NEW LAW

The first meeting of the Lunacy Com.
mission, under the new law, resulted in
the release from the Insane Asylum of
j. G., de Silva, who was committed some
time ago as a paranoiac, The meeting
was held Tuesday afternoon. The
members of the commission are Hon.
Alexander Lindsay, DR.. j. r. Judd, and
DR.. Moore. All three were present at
the hearing.
Under the old law it rested with the
superintendent of the Insane Asylum
to decide whether or not patient
should be released. Under the new law,
all such cases must be brought before
the Lunacy Commission and there acted
upon.
The application for the release of de
Silva was made by the son of the pa.
tient, who claimed that his father was
sane and should be allowed to leave the
asylum. Atkinson Quarles were pres.
ent at the conference on behalf of de
Silva. The claim was advanced that
since entering the asylum de Silva had
recovered from all symptoms of para.
noia, and therefore should be released.
The commission came to the conclusion
that such was the case and ordered the
man s release.

UNIVERSITY CLUB MAY
ACQUIRE MORE LAND

Governor Frear stated yesterday that
there is a possibility that the Uni.
versity Club, which has voted to ac-
quire Haalelea Lawn for its proposed
new quarters, may also want the adj
joining property now occupied by the
government stables on Hotel street.
The Governor expresses the belief
that this would be a good thing for
all concerned. 1t would give the Uni
versity Club more extensive grounds
and would also get rid Of the old stables
which are not exactly ornamental. The
tearing down of these and the beautify-
ing of the grounds would give a more
pleasant view from the mauka side of
the Capitol than is now afforded.
The stables in question are used by
the Public Works Department for the
stabling of its horses and the housing
of its wagons.

HAN DICAPPED
This is the Case with Many Honolulu
People.

Too many Honolulu citizens are
handicapped with bad back. The
unceasing pain causes constant misery,
making work a burden and STOPPING
or lifting an impossibility. The back
aches at night, preventing refreshing
rest, and IN the morning is stiff and
lame. Plasters and liniments may
give relief, but can not reach the
cause. To eliminate the pains and
aches you must cure the kidneys.
Doan's Backache Pills cure sick kid
neys and cure them permanently. Can
you doubt Honolulu evidenced

MRS. WALLACE SAILS
FOR THE MAINLAND

Her dream of happiness shattered,
Mrs. Ida Baker, or Wallace as her legal
name must be written, sailed for the
mainland yesterday on the Alameda.
Almost the last bit of Honolulu on
which her eyes rected, ere the ship was
headed for the open sea, was the SOM
Der stone building wherein is confined
the man whom Mrs, Wallace supposed
to be her husband.
Baker, the debonair, is confined in
Oahu prison, under sentence of three
years at hard labor of bigamy. Mrs.
Wallace, who discarded the man to
whom she was engaged that she might
marry Baker, was helped out of town
by charitable friends. Soon Baker will
be doing honest work, albeit in prison
stripes, in expiaton of his crime. His
dupe will be trying to forget her pre-.
dicament thousands of miles away.

ALCOHOL Is A PREsERvATrvE

Alcohol is recognized the world over
as the proper, most efficient and whole.
some preserver of medicinal compounds.
and while some journalists try to alarm
the world by the cry that patent
medicines contain more alcohol than
beer" they neglect TO state that pro-
prietary medicines are taken in doses
from teaspoonful to tablespoonful,
while beer is beverage that is con-
sumed in quantities from a glass to sew
eral quarts a day.
Lye,A f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound contains only 1879 alcohol, sim
ply enough to preserve the roots and
herbs from which it is made, and may
be relied upon by every woman in the
land as a reliable, honest and sure
remedy for the ills peculiar to her sex.

SINKING FUND MONEY
DEPOSITED IN BANKS

Twenty thousand dollars were de.
posted by Treasurer Conkling yester-
day afternoon, in amounts of $4,000
each, with the four banks of the city
to the credit of the sinking fund. This
action was taken in accordance with
the provision in Act 1913 of the Ses-
sion Laws of 1909, commonly known
as the Depository law, which permits
the Treasurer to deposit a sum not TO
exceed $1,000 from any special fund in
the Treasury in any good savings bank
or savings bank department of any
bank, without security.
