FOOTBALL sQUAD
 GET THEIR LETTERS"
PLANS FOR SOME PRELIMINARY
 ENTHUSIASM
On the Day Before the Opening Game
 of the Valley League Series.

Last night at the mass meeting of the boys of the High School. the members of the football team were presented with their sweaters. These sweaters were given the team by the Athletic association of the Phoenix High in appreciation of good work and loyalty to the school
 Those who were honored with sweaters with letters are: Goebel, F.. Smith, L. Smith. T. Smith, Jackson. Bellas. HawIey, Hahn, Brooks. Mar lar. Nevada. Preston, Groves. Stoner and La Tourette. and the other mem bers of the team who received sweat CTS. but without letters. are: Jones. Harvey and Norton.
 After the presentation of these sweaters to the boys. the High Jinks'' of next Friday night were dis cussed and arrangements completed. There will be a parade through the streets at about 7:30 on New Years eve. led by the Indian band. and in which will be the "Shirt-Tail Brigade" and some real new clowns. among them Dr. Cook and his own @ north pole. the Buckeye railroad and the Center street bridge. and a minstrel band in full rigging. composed of High School boys. Indians will be in the parade in their native costumes. and they will do everything but have war dance. which will not be per- mitted.
 This demonstration is to let the people know that there will be a ball game on New Years day between the Indian School and High School at Eastlake park. Though the two schools are friendly enough to buckle down to a parade together. they are not nearly friendly enough to play game of ball without having blood in their eyes. This game means that one of the schools will have a perfect percentage to begin the baseball sea son with. and the other will have a big naught to it's debit. Both teams are in fine condition and are anxious for the fray. and it will undoubtedly be a good game. as both teams have shown up very well so far this sea son.

OPTIMISM VERSUS PEsSlMISM.

In his amusing essay. "A Morning With Pessimism.' in Harper's for January, Frant Showerman. after dis cussing the various phases of optim- ism and pessimism. reaches this con clusion:
 At the end of his meditation. the professor came to sum up his con- clusions. they were these: an op- timist was one who. by reason of lim- ited experience. fortunate tempera- ment. good health. favorable environ ment-any or all--had come to enter tain an unduly cheerful view of life: a pessimist was one who. by reason of limited experience, unfortunate temperament, ill health. unfavorable environment-any or all-had come to entertain an unduly cheerless view of life. If a man must be the one or the other. perhaps it was better to be d cheerfully foolish optimist than foolishly gloomy pessimist; but if he wished to be satisfied with life and fortified against misfortune. and to be reliable member of so- ciety. let him cultivate equilibrium. Let him get health and experience, and. above all. let him learn from what he saw and what he read. Wis dom was the principal thing
 Feeling something of relief tine professor laid down his pencil and leaned back in his chair. and let va cant eyes rest for some time on the ceiling He had reciined thus for a few minutes. when there swan grad ualy into the field of his conscious ness a vaguely bright spot Being of an observant turn of mind. he began to wonder where the spot came from. It was not caused by mirror. for there was none in the room Could it be the small boy in the house opposite? He went to the window to investigate. When he moved. the spot vanished. He as- sumed his original position. and the spot was there. He rubbed his head in wonder the spot came and went as he rubbed. Slowly but surely he realized that it was the reflection from his bald head.
 Just then their was a knock. and his wife entered. The professor called her attention to the phenomenon. and added. with sigh. How old I am getting.' 'Nonsense.' she replied. Don't be so pessimistic.'
 ''The professor put out his hand for the notes. with an incipient frown. but thought better of his intention. and leaned back again. He would wait until he had read, thought. and written a little more. and then he would overwhelm her.
 But he did say: My dear. you may order that hat I have here the notes for long article which I am going to send to a magazine. and they can never refuse it. We'll have the hat, and next summer that va cation trip we have talked of so long
 This was optimistic enough for the most insistent abuser of pessimists."

JOINT COMMISSION
 ON COUNTY LIFE
How the Northwest States Are Mov-
 ing for Rural Settlement.

The Twice-a- Week Spokesman Re view of Spokane in it's issue of De- cember 21, announces the appointment by Governor Benson of Oregon of five of the leading citizens of that state as members of a state country life com mission.
 This is the first step in accordance with a plan that was launched in Spo- kane few weeks ago on the occasion of the national apple show. for active organization in the northwest in fur therance of the work of making coun- [ try life more attractive. The idea had its origin in the appointment of na- tional country life commission by President Roosevelt. and the hustlers of the northwest have decided that 1t can be made fine vehicle for settling up it's fertile acres and furnishing good homes for poor people by first making conditions attractive and then advertising the fact. Back to the Farm" is the slogan of the present. day economists and this is one of the ways of making the cry effective.
 On the occasion of the apple show there was a country life day at which tne Didn TOT bTSdIllLdtiou was CNoiNcus It was decided to ask the governors of Washington. oregon. Montana and Idaho. respectively, each to appoint a commission of five men in this state to be known as state country life commission. The five commissioners of each state are to form a joint country life commission for the north west. to cooperate with the Spokane chamber of commerce. The governor of oregon has been the first to comply with the request and in naming his commissioners he has written letter on the subject to the Spokesman Re- view. the closing paragraph of which is as follows:
 The campaign for the improvement of rural conditions and for country life appeals. not only to the ignorant and poor people in the slums of our crowded cities. but it appeals to peo- pie of education. of refinement and of means. What is more beautiful than a magnificent country home. surround ed by all modern conveniences, yet minus the disadvantages and discom- forts of the city? Country life and a closer association with nature cannot help but raise the standard of our citizenship"

AN ECONOMIC EXPERIMENT.

Compulsory arbitration having failed during lohg strike of coal miners in New South Wales. new legislation has made the instigation of a strike. or giving aid to strike. a crime. Thus ends an interesting economic experi- ment and thus comes a more drastic undertaking. But the new laws must depend for effectiveness upon public opinion. and to win it's approval is the task specially of labor. The arbitra- tion law seemed a model of it's kind. but it did not command popular re- spect on it's face it seems no. to tend to promote a willingness to harmony between wage learners and employers. which spirit is an essential condition of industrial peace.

CAUGHT U-U
IN DAYLIGHT

Archie Robertson and his fishing
friends have been having good sport
of late on the deep water off the Moana
Hotel
They have caught numbers OF 2ualo,
woke and ulua and report that they
have enjoyed the best sport of the
whole year during the past month.
A week or so ago Archie and George
Harris were fishing in about fifteen
fathoms of water and caught half a
dozen u-u, averaging about three
quarters of pound each in weight.
This was the first time that Robertson
had taken the red fish during the day
light hours. the time being between
three and four O'Clock of the after
noon. U-u are usually caught on a
moonlight night.
The probability is that the baited
hooks sunk into a deep hole in which
the u-u lay in darkness and bit in ac-
cordance with their night-feeding ma
bits.
Great quantities fsquid have been
taken of late off Haula and Punaluu
and the natives of those districts have
made quite a little money, drying the
hee and sending them to town.

FISH POISONING
j IS NOW BEING
PROSECUTED

The calm weather of the past few
weeks has caused the law to be broken
in regard to fish-poisoning. It is
prohibited to catch fish by means OF
Supplying drugs and plants placed in
the water, but the practice still fol-
lowed in many places on this island,
and around Honolulu. The poison
can only be used in cain, still wea-
Their. for when the wind is blowing and
the water troubled the juice Of the
poison weed spreads over too large an
area of water to be effective.
The natives call the catching OF hsn
by poisoning "holahOla.'
The ahuahu, a poisonous weed which
grows on the mountain side, and which
as rather common in Palolo valley, is
the plant generally employed.
1t is gathered and pounded with
sand, the latter to make 1t heavier so
that it will sink in the water All
over the reefs, running a short distance
from ana SeueIdlly pdl dllSl W 'AS
shore, are numerous caves and notes,
which are the habitat Of many species
OF fishes.
The fishermen carry small seine
and a quantity of the poisonous mix
ture in one of their canoes, and when
they arrive at the fishing-groud, set
the seine around isolated rock or at
| the mouth of a cave.
The escape Of the fish from these re-
treats being thus prevented, the fisher
men place some of the mixture in q
small bag, and diving to the bottom
! shake some of it in the holes
In ten or fifteen minutes the fish
seem to become stupefed and rise tc
the surface, when they are taken into
the canoe by means of small scop
nets.
They soon recover from the effects
of the drug if allowed to remain in the
water.
The seeds and leaves of the shrul
aka are also used fol this purpose.
