CELEBRATES HIS BIRTHDAY

1t comes so rarely to the lot OF
mankind to reach the age of fourscore
and seven years that its celebration is
of unusual interest.
A dinner party was held at the
home of j. Jester Jr. Saturday at
200 p. m. in honor of Clayton Brown,
Mrs. TESTERS father, who on November
10, 1909, reached his 87th birthday.
The guests were neighbors Mr.. and
Mrs. B. S. Waggener, Mr.. and Mrs.
w. A. Douglass and son Louie, the
Jester family and a neice and hus-
band, Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Binford.
Grandpa" Brown, as he is familiar
ly known, lives in TIE Friends settle
ment at Greenleaf with his son Will
liam S. Brown. He, with his wife is
spending the fall with his daughter in
Caldwell.
He has been a lifelong member of
the Society of Friends and with his
son and family were the first of the
society to locate in the Greenleaf
neighborhood. He has lived a temper
ate, kindly, upright life, an inspiration
to all who have known him.
He is well and strong, both pkysi-
cally and mentally, man of unusual
intelligence. He wrote for the birth
day occasion a few rhymes to contrib
ute to the entertainment of the guests,
some of whom though them worthy
of note:
This month of November
The 18th l am sure to remember,
Being the date of my birtE,
A living child of earth.
Today-my anniversary, eighty-seven.
l trust l am prepared for heaven.
From 1922 until today of 1909
Makes my full life's time.
1t was many, many years ago
Under the presidency of James Mon
roe
Many fellow beings have come to
earth
Since the long ago day of my birth.
But two grandfathers and two grand
mothers,
A father and mother with host of
others,
earth now, and not to be found
Their dust lying beneath the ground.
So in the next period of fourscore and
seven,
This company may all be in heaven
The past is full of admonition
That we fill our Lords requisition.
Walk We in the Lords way,
Delay not day
This leads to life supernal,
As well as to life eternal
Only the one divine birth
All done with earth >,
Eternal in heaven.

REDWAY SELLS
OUT HARDWARE

Messrs. w. c. Maxey and Louis
Schnabel this week purchased the
hardware stock of the w. H. Redway
company. Some months ago Mr.. Red
way sold his grocery department to
the Caldwell Grocery Co., The sale
OF the hardware department lets Mr..
Redway out of business in Caldwell
He purchased the hardware and gro
Gerry business from Mr.. M. B. Gwinn
in 1894 and conducted the business
until now. Since buying out Mr..
Gwinn. Mr.. Redway built up an i'm
mense business. During the past
couple of years his health has not
been the best and for this reason he
negotiated the two sales that relieve
him of care and business worry.
The purchasers are young men who
are well known and highly respected
inCaldwell, having lived here for a
great many years. Mr.. Maxey has
been connected with the company for
soma years past. Mr.. Schnabel has
had years of training as a clerk and
bookkeeper in the mercantile COM
pany. Prior to his trip to Europe
ne was an employe of the First Ma
tional bank. The two men are young.
energetic and enterprising. They will
undoubtedly increase the business
rapidly. The Tribune bespeaks sue

WHAT MAKES TIRED" LAND,

WHAT MAKES TIRED" LAND.
What makes the land tired?
Farmer Jones is worried, His
fields are not nearly so productive
as they used to be, His corn does
not yield so many bushels to the
acre, and even the potatoes show
lessened crops.
This sort of thing tells on the
bank account. Farmer Jones judges,
from all he can learn, that the soil
is becoming exhausted-in other
words, that so much of the plant food
it originally contained has been tax
en- out of it by oft-repeated cropping
that is in a measure used up. To
re-supply it with plant food, he buys
and contributes to the land quanti-
ties of expensive fertilizers. They
fail to produce the hoped-for result,
and then the unhappy farmer comes
to the melancholy conclusion that
his acres are worn out'-that is
to say, rendered incapable for the
future of yielding profitable returns.
Such WORKOUT" lands comprise
large part of the state of Virginia.
They cover extensive acres in New
England and elsewhere in the East.
So hopeless are they considered for
agriculture that they can often be
purchased for a mere song. Aban-
doned farms-forsaken merely be-
cause they are no longer productive
may be found scattered all over
those sections of the country.
And yet there is nothing really the
matter with these farms-at all
events, nothing that ought to be very
difficult to remedy. Their soil is
just as good, and capable of as album
dant fruitfulness, as 1t ever was
save for the fact that, through lack
of proper use and treatment, chemi-
cal substances of a poisonous ma
ture have accumulated in 1t. 1t is
these substances that render the land
unproductive.
The discovery of these "soil tox-
ms" as they are called, represents
one of the newest and most impor-
tant additions to scientific knowl-
edge in relation to agriculture. 1t
has already gone far enough to en-
able the experts of the government
Bureau of Soils to point to certain
definite chemical compounds, rep
resented by actual samples contained
in little bottles, as the toxins in
question. These substances-no
all of which have been isolated as
yet, however-are known positively
and beyond question to be the poi
sons that cause ''soil fatigue.

QUARTERS FOR THE FLOCK.

To keep healthy and thrive,
sheep should be provided with quar-
tiers suitable to their needs. 1t is
separate from other stock. Sheep
prefer seclusion from other farm
animals; they get along with
young calves probably better than
any other stock. In discussing this
phase of flock management. Profess
sor Henry says: above every
other animal on the farm sheep
must be kept dry as to coat and

essentials will result dispstrously.

There has just been issued from the
press of the Hawaiian Star a booklet
by DIR V. E. Collins, M. D., entitled
Sea Bathing in Hawaii"
The booklet, which is attractively
gotten up and illustrated, is intended
to supply all available information as
to the best method of taking sea
baths, and to bring to the notice OF
all and sundry the great benefits to be
derived from the unique sea bathing OF
Hawaii.
The various chapters deal with,
among other subjects, Certain Spu-
cial Features of honolulu as Bathing
Resort" Bathing for Pleasure"
Bathing for HEALTH" Sun Baths and
Sand Baths" honolulu as a Winter
Bathing Resort and Surf Riding"
The book is clearly and entertaining
ly written, beside being most tnstruc-
tive and it should be read by all who
love a dip in the briny. Sent away to
friends on the mainland, especially in
the snow belt, it could not help doing
the most effective kind of promotion
work.
The chapter on Surf Riding" is
contributed by Alexander Hume Ford,
president of the Hawaiian Outrigger
Canoe Club, and is we'll worthy OF re-
production. 1t follows:

The Athletic Park management are
all arrangements for the ten
mile race to be run next Saturday aft
ernoon. The best local sportsmen
have announced their intention or
helping out by acting as judges ana
timers and the interest that is being
taken in the event round town shows
that there will be a bumper crowd at
the park to watch the fleetest athletes
of the islands run round the track for
the long distance.
There are now eighteen entries for
the race and, as the entries close this
afternoon, it may be presumed that,
at the time of going to press, there will
be no more entries.
The entries are as follows:
A. X. Norton, J. McCaudless, Joe
Macedo, C. K. Garlic, Tsukamoto, E.
e. Taylor, George Rosa, G. M. Addison,
Nigel Jackson, J. Downey, Dial Fancy,
Carl Neumann, Frank Enos, M. Plata,
Mike Cordeiro, Herbert Cordeiro, ID.
Takuole and Antoine Kaoo.
Th3 rules governing the race will
| be as follows.
1. Each competitor shall present
himself at the Athletic park not later
than 2 D. m. on Saturday, September
| II.
2. The number station will be in
front of the grandstand and each COM
petitor will receive two numbers and
safety pins. A number must be PIN
ned squarely on the chest and back SO
that spectators and scorers can recog-
nize o runner easily.
3. Each competitor will be allowed
two assistants. One assistant will be
permitted inside the center of the
track and may follow his principal and
hand him refreshment at any stage Oh
| the race, provided the retceshment
does not consist of drugs.
A. A competitor may leave the track
at any time, provided that he does SO
unassisted but must not leave the
open grounds. Any competitor enter

will be Immediately disqualified.
S. Only one assistant may handle
a competitor. Any runner may be rub
bed down at any stage of the race Du'
only one of his assistants may handle
him. Any assistant who has hypo-
dermic syringe, or any restorative
drug, except straight smelling salts

grounds and his principal will be dis'

ponents on to the ropes. Any rustling
or rough work at the turns will call
for immediate disqualification of the
offender.
The above entry list shows what
keen interest is being taken in the
race. While everybody expected Nigel
Jackson Tsukamoto, Dial Fahey, Dow
ney and many others who made excel
lent records in the Hilo, Haleiwa and
Marathon races to enter, it Is es-
pecially interesting to note that Abe
Norton and McCandless have decided
to enter the race.
Both of these young athletes were
stars at the High School during the
past season. In football, in baseban
and on the track they both gained
many points for their school and they
are to be reckoned with very seriously.
Coming from school as they do,
with their wind and limbs in perfect
condition and training, the oloe. "un e
ners will be up against hard com
bination. Both of them have been
working very hard to get fit and, know
ing enough not to go stale before the
race, either one of them may easily be
the winner.
Antoine Kaoo, who finished in the
last Marathon, is the latest entry.
He should be able to put some dust
behind him over a ten-mile course.
He will be far and away the oldest
contestant in the race, but he still has
his wonderful staying powers with him
and may be relied on to make a fast
pace for the comparatively short dis
lance of ten miles.
Jackson is in the pink of condition
and is very confident. But the Jap
is also in great trim and, even though
neither of these two should come In
first, there will be great race between
them.
AS a matter of fact they are both a
trihe jealous of each others records
and neither one will allow the other
to get ahead at the finish if he can
possibly help it.
Jackson will have the advantage in
that he is used to running round a
circular track while Tsukamoto has
made his best time on a straight road
and running down hill But the jar
is training round the track and will
certainly be there with thine goods.
There will be two judges and a re-
fierce, three timers for general results
timer to take unofficial times for each
: lap or mile. The scoring will be per
feet. There will be a board and {
scorer for each runner so that there
Is no possible chance of a mistake.
The race will start at $3.50 and there
will be a preliminary baseball game
between the Asahis and c. A. G. Jul
! niors, to Leep the spectators happy
until the big event starts.
