New Sharon Star: If moral forces
are growing in this big world OF ours,
if the hope that some sweet day they
will rule in republics, kingdoms and
empires is to be justified, then how
can you deny that some time women
will be privileged to vote? You have
got TO admit that she is prime, pow
erful factor on the moral side Of all is
sues, great and small, and morality
cannot rule with the strongest and
best element of moral force denied
recognition. What the country needs
is to have The ignorant, immoral voter
driven from the polls, and that which
is clean and intelligent given the
right OF suffrage. 1t is not woman
suffrage that is most needed just now,
but an intelligent, honest, clean and
patriotic vote in every precinct be-
meath the flag.

Association Has Plans of Its
Own for Entertaining
Visitors.

With much business in hand con-
corning the arrest of representatives
OF Honolulu business firms over in
Hilo and the coming visit of the Com
gressionaI party, The Merchants AS
soelation was unable to hold a meet
ing yesterday owing to a lack of a
quorum. Had there been a quorum,
however, the. meeting would have been
postponed to another date out of re-
speet to the late c. M. Cooke.
The officers of the association, while
not eriticizing absent members, ex-
pressed themselves foreibly about obi
cations of members to the association.
When meeting is called it is plainly
their duty to attend and finish the
business in hand.
That the Hilo rumpus is important
IS shown by the call for another meet
ing to be held at II clock this morn
ing when there will be little excuse
for members not attending, as the Coast
mail viii be off on the Chiyo Maru at
nine and the island mail arriving on
the Mauna Kea viii have been finished.
Another important matter is The

in the reception Of the Congressional
party. Just what plans the associa-
ton may have viii be known when
Mr.. Won Hamm makes his suggestions

PALOLO COTTON
GROWING WELL
Caravonica Trees Produce Two
and a Half Pounds
Each.

That carayonica cotton can be sue
cessfully grown here, even at the high
er attitudes, is pretty conclusively
proven by the success which the Pa
lolo Land & Improvement Company is
having with its experimental plant
ings on Palolo Heights. Two hundred
trees of caravonica have been planted
by the company, and the fifty trees,
which Were first planted, are now in
bloom.
The specimens of cotton, picked at
random from the trees, is pronounced
by experts to be of a very superior
grade, even for such high quality cot
ton as caravonica, and it is believed
that the local product will command
the very highest price in the cotton
market.
Many of the first trees planted fail
cd to live, but the difficulty was soon
discovered and remedied. and now
there are two hundred trees in flourish
ing condition. Of these, fifty are of
the first lot planted, and are Just one
year old. The remaining 80 will not
be sufficiently matured to bear for a
month or six weeks yet.
The flowers already picked, average
about 100 to the pound AS they wers
not selected in any way, but simply
chosen at random, it is believed that
they are fare sample of the crop
which the trees are producing. Al
rough count indicates that there are.
on an average, about $50 flowers. or
two and one-half pounds of cotton. to
the tree. This means that the trees are
bearing at the rate of 1000 pounds
to the acre, it being the custom TO
plant about 500 trees of caravonica to
the acre.
AS this is the first picking, there is
every reason to suppose that the next |
crop will be considerably larger, and |
those interested in the experiment are
greatly pleased at the showing thus
tar made.
Caravonica cotton blossoms twice in |
the year, the first crop being ready for
picking during the months of April |
and May, and the next being ready
IN the fall. From the present showing,
it is believed that it is a conserva-
tive estimate that places the probable
crop for next spring at 500 pounds
and that of next fall at $50, making /
q total of $50 flowers to the tree for
the entire year. Tt is believed that |
fully developed trees in these islands
will produce 1900 flowers per tree a
year, or lo.400 pounds to the acre.
