Why Not "AIfaFo D0y2"

1t has been suggested that Ordway
have an alfalfa day during the month
OF September and make II an annual
affair hereafter. The idea seems Il
good one and the name suggested,
even better than "cantalOupc day
from the fact that it is original and
contains the name Of the principal
product grown in this section. While
cantalOupes are perhaps second, they
constitute no small part Of the wealth
producing crops around Ordway and

: Athletic ark Notes !


The Dragonlets are up against the
Half-wets on Sunday again. They
slipped the anchor chains over the bits
on the canvas kids last time. Can they
do it again?
The second game at the Athletic
Park on Sunday will be between them
there Beers and these Japs. A slight
mistake was made in the headlining of
last Monday morning 5 story in the
Advertiser. 1t stated that the Beers
had a, einch on the first series. The
Japs have chance.
~ - -
IF the Japs win the game on Sun
day and beat the Marines week from
Sunday, then, if the Half-wets hand if
to the Beers in the understanding
game tie p1ay-off, the Japs will be
at the head of the list
y ~ ~
Gibson took a rest yesterday after
noon in the game with the Roadpound-
ers and went to the outfeld. Peyton
pitched mighty good game and has
shown that he will be good alternate
for Gibson in case kokua is needed
- y -
The Japs have fine double for
the box ON Sunday They have the
King of Spain and Johannes di Flores.
This is combination that is hard to
beat.
- - &c
If Lieutenant Kilgore plays first base
for the Half-wets on Sunday, it may
look kind of fierce for the Dragonlets.
Mr.. Kilgore made his first appearance
on First Avenue yesterday and stopped
all the cars that came his way. The
motormen said that he was nuisance
but the men that played with him said
that he was Zoozooforoffaroo (Which
being translated from the original Cop
tie into United States, means "a
good one')

MARINES BEAT
FORT SKATER

The Marines slipped it to the Road
Founders in friendly game of ball at
the Athletic park yesterday afternoon
by score of 6 to 3. Both teams play
ed lively game and the Half-wets had
no easy job to double up on the In
fantry kids.
The feature of the game was the
appearance of Lieutenant Kilgore at
first base for the Marines. This
OFF Ger man played dandy game and
let not single high one go by him,
being credited with no less than II
putouts out of the q.
Another feature was the first APP
pearance of Pevt0n in the box. Glib
son went to left field and gave the
new man a chance at the twirl dope.
Peyton made good and showed out a
very interesting line of curves with
some hard downdrops that had the
Roadpounders guessing what was CON-
ing next.
The Half-wets accounted for two in
the second with three bingles and a
steal. Fort Shafter came back with
one in the third but the Marines made
two more in the second half of that
inning with one each in the fourth
and fifth. The Road Founders made a
noise like getting even in the sixth
when they made two more but that was
all the scoring.
The lineups with runs scored were:
Marines-Slorp, IS; Hayes, 2b; Cav,
3b (D; Davis, cf; Peyton, p {2); Kill
gore, 1b(D; Gibson, If (D; Thompson,

.CARPA IS ON TRIAL,
TONG KIT IS GUILTY

The trial of Pedro Carpa, who is
charged with assault with weapon i'm
minently and obviously dangerous to
life was commenced in Judge De Bolt IS
court before jury yesterday morning
but was not concluded
The jury in the case Of Tong Kit
charged with similar offense, returned
verdict of guilty and Judge De Bolt
sentenced the prisoner to twenty-three
months imprisonment in Oahu Jail.
Tong Kit has a bad record, which did
not make things easier for him when
the judge came to pass sentence.

Hogs. Roth and Williamson beat
Deer and Waterhouse, SO, To-, Cd.
Miss NJ. Hall, the crack player from
the Pacific Coast, took the Hawaiian
championship yesterday afternoon from
Mrs. R. Hind in straight sets, CO and
6-3 1t looks like hard beating, but
the score can not be relied upon as fur
nishing correct summary of the final
match. Every point was fought out
stubbornly, and the games went from
deuce to vantage and back so often
that a less competent referee than DIR.
Wall would have become mnddled.
These two ladies gave an exhibition
of real tennis, placing, lobbing and
smashing from the net, covering the
court and driving to the base line in a
manner that called forth round after
round of applause from the spectators.
1t was far and away the best match in
ladies singles that has ever been seen
on the Beretania courts, and the rooters
followed each point with the keenest
interest. The crowd was undoubtedly
with Mrs. Hind, but that was only nat
nral, she being resident of the Ter.
ritory and playing one OF the leading
players from the States.
Miss Hall has been complete reve-
lation to tennis enthusiasts here, her
Style of play, strokes, service and judg
ment being far in advance of anything
ever seen here before; and, while not
wishing to detract from the perform.
anee of any cup winners of previous
seasons, it is safe to say that she could
defeat any lady in the Hawaiian Islands
today, and could undoubtedly gain the
decision over at least IS per cent. of the
men.
Cunha and Gee defeated Brewster and
Hoogs in rather hollow fashion. The
latter team put up game fight, but
were somewhat outelassed, and the
match was decidedly onesided. Young
Hoogs is undoubtedly clever young
ster and viii bear watching in future
events. Brewster played well at some
stages of the game, but was decidedly
erratic.
The match in gentlemen IS doubles be
tween DEER and George Waterhouse
against Will Roth and W. W. William
son furnished plenty of excitement
The first set was a crackerjaek and
went to fve-all, six-ail, seven-all anc
eight-all, at which stage Waterhonst
won his service and he and his partner
broke through their adversaries' deliv
cry on the next game, winning frs
blood los.
The second set was also holly con
tested and at one time it seemed certain
that Waterhouse and DEER would wiz
two straight, but Roth and Williamson
kept plugging along and finally wor

THE POWER BOAT OF THE FL
TURE,

Toledo has had a visitation from
the pleasure craft of the waters about
that city which showed a bewildering
variety in design. The Toledo Blade
says that there one may behold boats
long and boats squat, boats like grace
full gulls and others more suggestive
of fy-up-the- creeks. The motive
power is controlled from aft, from for
ward and from amidships. There are
speed boats like arrows and some
whose deckline is like the letter S. AS
much freedom is evidenced in mate
rails employed as in color, comfort and
cabin arrangement.
There is something bizarre and
spectacular in all this variety. But it
cannot be expected to stay. Expert
ence and the laws which govern re-
sistance and serviceability will modify
most of these boats, many of which
are no more than experiments You
will remember the many forms of the
automobile when the vehicle first came
into use. Now a general design makes
one gasoline car look little different
from another. That which brought
this about was not the habit of one
inventor thinking as any other in
ventors does, but practicability. Ten
years may see one extremely efficient
pattern apparent in every engined
boat"

WHY Ir WAS POSTPONED.

The legislature of Georgia following
the example Of the legislature of this
state, postponed action upon the pro-
posed constitutional amendment max
ing an income tax legal. Various rea-
sons have been attributed for this
action, but the legislators declare they
needed time to obtain the views of
their constituents upon the question.
The public interest in this matter is
so slight that it is now being advised
that Income Tax Leagues be formed
in the states to agitate the question
and arouse public opinion. New York
leads in this and Ohio promises to be
a close follower, and other states are
likely to fall into line. The ratifca-
ton of this measure will take the next
three years in the following order:
November, 19o9-Tennessee Texas.
December, Is09-virginia.
January, 1s10-Kentucky Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York,
Ohio. Oklahoma, Rhode Island.
October, 1910-Vermont.
January, 1s11-Arsansas, Connecti-
cut, California, Colorado, Delaware,
Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas.
Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri.
Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New
Hampshire, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South
Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washing
ton, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wy
oming
April, 1911-Florida
January, 1S12-Mississippi.
May, 1912-Louisiana.
1t is feared that unless the support
ers of this measure get to work that
the interest will not be sufficient to
carry 1t through. Work will have to
be done here in Connecticut to save 1t
from defeat in 1911.

HEN E4uITs INCREASE IN PRICE.

II is generally conceded that eggs
has riz,'' but to just what an average
amount could not be ascertained until
a statistician of the government got
to work and found that the average
production of eggs for the last ten
years has been about one and three
quarters billion dozen a year. Taking
the average price of 1899 as Ills cents
per dozen, and that of 1908 as 1873
cents, the increase in the value of the
total egg production has been $685.
100000, or nearly IS per cent,
This is a bouncing advance for an
average price; but now that there is
no question that there is money in
eggs everybody may try the expert
ment of getting some of it, and thus
bring the supply so much nearer the
demand that prices will become more
reasonable.
fall and the promise is that they will go
to sixty cents a dozen before Thanks
giving, but the stock of lined and
glassed eggs in private hands is larger
than usual which means that the de-
mand for the hen fruit this year will
be lighter than last year.
1t used to be said eggs is eggs" but
now the time has arrived when it will
soon be truly said that eggs is
nickels."
