Oak Mark For Government Surveyors.
 The sky line north of Mountain Home. Ark. rises in two long curves, then nattcns out and leaves in siIhou- cite above the crest of what is known as Wallace knob a solitary tree. It is such a struingly lovely tree that no visitor to the town falls to notice it and ask how 1t got there. Then he hears that several years ago thc gov ernment engineers decided to find out the exact fall of the land from Denver to Atlanta, Ga. Wallace knob on oc- count of its elevation was chosen as one of the three chief observation points in a huge triangle. To mark this knob with conspicuous object to sight at all the trees on 1t were cut off but this one marker It is an oak fifty or sixty feet in hcight.-Kansas City Star

BRAVE MIME. ROLAND.
Her Last Request Before Her Death
 on the ScaHoId.


 How Mme. Roland bore herself on her journey along the vla dolor0sa of the revolution which led from the Con- ciergeric to the Place de la Guillotu the world knows. No recorded pil- grim of the long train that fared that way in those heroic days showed a sublimer indifference to its terrors. A spectator who saw her as she passed the pont Ncuf wrote of her as stand ing erect and calm in the mmbri, her eyes shining, her color fresh and bril- liant, with a smile on her lips as she tried to cheer her companion, an old man overcome by the fear of approach ing death.
 At the foot of the scanold she asked for pen and paper to write the strange thoughts that were rising in her. When the cNccuuouer grasnod her arm to as- sist her in mounting the steps she drew back and begged Chat her com- paniou might be allowed Co prcccde her. The custom of the uuiI.otiuc al lowed her. as a woman, the privilege of dying first but she wished t0 spare the iuGrm old man a scene that would augmcnt.his fears. Samson objected.
 Come, cIizcn,' she urged him, with smile, "you cannot deny lady her last request"

CAN'T EXPECT
1908 YIELD SOON
HonOmu Manager Points
To Exceptional
Conditions

Stockholders of the Honomu Sugar
| Company held their annual meeting
today. Manager Pullar reports on
crop conditions as follows
We have had a very favorable year
on the whole. The summer, and au-
tumn seasons have been very rainy
with very little sunny weather, and
the cane has not made the growth u
would have done under more favor
able climatic conditions.
Crop 190S-This crop amounted 10
1911 tons of sugar, and exceeded my
estimate of last year by 1911 tons
The average yield for plant apd ra-
toon cane was 4.90 tons of sugar per
acre, and is the highest we have OBJ
tanned. The conditions under which
this crop was grown and harvested
were most favorable, and the high
yield of 1908 cannot be expected ev-
cry year.
Crop 1909-Climatic conditions
have not been so favorable for this
crop. The excessive rains of 1907
retarded the growth of the young
cane, and this year has also been un-
favorable for good growth except
ing in the lower lands. ] expect the
yield will be about four tons per
acre.
Crop 1910-Both plant and RAJ
toon canes OF this crop have made
satisfactory growth and are well adj
vanced. The almost continuous rainy
weather during the summer and au-
tumn has increased the cultivating
operations. We fortunately had a
good supply of labor and were able
to keep the fields in good condition
from time of planting.
There is an increase this year in
planting by the homesteaders on the
mauka lands. Gulch sides and waste
lands have also been readily taken
up by laborers of all nationalities EN-
ployed on the plantation.
Mill-Considerable repairs have
been made on the mill. and the crush
ing plant is in good condition for
this years work. E
Boiling House-lt has been found
advisable to adopt the use OF crys-
tallizers instead of the old system of
open coolers for low-grade sugars.
To meet our requirements eight crys-
tallizers have been built by the Ho-
nolulu Iron Works Co. and are now
being installed, also water wheel for
power purposes. II was also neces-
sary to enlarge our vacuum pan and
this has been done.
Buildings-Have bsen kept In good
repair, and some additions have been
made including new stables and
dwelling houses.

Mr.. Farmer, Consider Well Your At
fairs During the Holidays.

The farmer in the North and West
grows grain, hay, hogs. cattle, and
mules and horses. His land is worth
from 500 to 5000 per acre. He has
never raised any crops but those
named above. He has money in the
bank. His barns, dwellings, and fem
ces are far better than ours. He Is
buying land in the South by the thou
sands of acres every year, Did you
ever consider why his condition finan-
cially is so much better than ours?
1t is simply this: He grows food
crops and live stock. From his own
crops he takes a good living for his
family, and what he sells is mainly
so much money to put in the bank
or to invest. Did you ever figure
how much better off you would now
be if each year that you have farm
ed you had first raised your corn,
hay, meat, and one or more mule
colts, to supply your needs for farm
stock, and then, after these things,
as much cotton as you could?
If not. do this. You must figure.
Your merchant and banker could
not get along without figuring on
their business, and you must figure
on yours. If you will in 1910, first
raise everything you need, including
garden and chickens, you will find
that the proceeds of your cotton crop
will, 10 the main, he surplus money
which you can invest. Don't blame
the farmer in the North and West
because he is getting rich off of us;
don't blame the government; don't
blame yonr landlord or your mer.
chant, but give this matter your
careful consideration. Ii you find
that this suggestion is right. then
put in into practice. Youknow, and
we know. that the South can raise
it's corn, hay, hogs and mules. Let
us own our fault, mend our slack
1 farming, produce our food crops fol
1910 and be independent.
