the potato crop suffers readily from

moisture can be conserved. Frequent

Cheap Protection From Lightning.
AS from 700 to 500 people are killed,
twice as many injured and IN i'm
nense amount of property destroyed
by lightning every year, Prof. Henry
of the weather bureau thinks more
attention should be given to protec-
ton from lightning. The professor
has recently prepared a paper on this
subject, and it has been published as

ture. In explaining what lightning is
and how to prevent buildings from

however, which will appeal most
strongly to the farmers of the country.
Prof. Henry shows how lightning rods
that are inexpensive yet effective"
may be put up by anybody. The fol-
lowing Is his list of the necessary
materials: Enough galvanized iron
telegraph wire to serve for the rod,
a pound Of galvanized iron staples to
hold the wire in place, a few connect
ing tees, and a pound Of aluminium
paint He says: "While iron is not

less likely to cause dangerous side
flashes, and 1t also d~issipates the en-
ergy Of the lightning flash more eff

Native plums are not particular as
to soil, although extremes in sand,
clay and muck should be avoided. A
soil too strong or too rich in nitrog-
enous matter causes a heavy growth
of foliage at the expense Of produc-
%tiveness. There are about $50 varieties
of native plums embraced in five spe
cies, of which the most important are
Prunus Americana. P. hortulana and
P. augustifolia. The most valuable Of
the native plums are De Soto, Rolling
stone, Weaver, Wild Goose, Miner and
Newman. of which Wild Goose, De
Soto and Miner are probably the most
popular. The native plums are to be
recommended to those who want
plums for an early market. because of
their immunity from diseases and in

it is recommended to take two or

quarts Of soft cold water, and allow
it to stand over night. The next morn-

for fifteen minutes. When cold it will

parts which are most irritated be
smeared over with the liquid.

OF all roots, except potatoes, beets
are the most sensitive to frost. Car
rots will stand considerable freezing
without much injury, being mostly
deep in the ground, but they must be
left to thaw in the ground. Parsnips
and vegetable oyster plants are better
for being allowed to remain out all
winter, and of parsnips, especially,
only sufficient should be put il the

FAMOUS YACHT
MAN IS HERE

Alexander J. Mitchell, sportsman,
capitalist, and particularly a yachts
man, of Los Angeles, is visitor in
Honolulu. Mr.. Mitchell confesses to
a limejuice extraction and is proud of
it; also, he is one of the few men who
made yachting a success IN southern
California.
1t was some four years ago that Mr..
Mitchell took an active interest in
yacht building in San Pedro. Joe Eel
lows was the only man who was build
ing yachts and launches and he had far
too much to do.
Charlie Fulton, veteran ship
butcher, wanted to start up in business
for himself and Mr.. Mitchell backed
him. The first effort of the new firm
was the Columbine. She was a freak
of the worst kind and slipped it to the
Mischief H., the Detroit and Yankee.
She had about as much racing length
as a sea-wren but she had the over
hang and the sail and, skippered by
Fritz Whitney. she won nearly all the
cups of the South Coast Yacht Club
during 1907.
In the mean time Mr.. Mitchell was
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-12-29

looking out for other investments. He
took up a few thousand acres of orange
orchards, he bought land on the water
front of the Terminal Island side of
San Pedro harbor and the investment
bids fair to make good.
Mr. Mitchell has come to Hawaii for
holiday. With him comes his wife
and he is looking for nothing but a
temporary amusement in the yachting
line until he leaves the Islands some
where around January 20.
Mr.. Mitchell viii stay here for about
a month. He states that he has sold
out his interests in the Fulton Marine
Construction Company of San Pedro
and that he has come here to get rid
of business for a time.
In the mean time he wants to be let
alone. He does not want to go yacht
ing round the Islands. He does not
even want to sail in a sea-wren race
But he would like to see how the sea-
wren races are run and he will be there
to watch the races next Sunday morn

TOURNAMENT IS
OFF WITH RUSH

Play in the 7, NJ c. A. tennis tourna-
ment WENT with rush yesterday, three
of the first round matches being COM
pleted. In the morning Ed. Garden,
winner of last year s High School
tournament, worked his way into the
second round by defeating E. B. Blan-
ehard, 6-3, Go. This match was
closer than the score would indicate,
most of the games running to deuce.
In the afternoon both courts were
busy, V. L. Stevenson winning a hard
fought match from VIM. Barnhardt
IS, 6-4. This was the closest of any
match played to date and the result
was in doubt until the last point was
played Stevenson, although out of the
game for three years, showed flashes
of his oldtime form, at times, and was
Just strong enough at critical moments
to win out. While this match was in
progress. E. r. Tracy won from Ernest
Podmore, GO, Go. Podmore was not
in his best form on account of a game
foot and Tracy went after every point
: from the start.
But two frst-round matches remain
to be played and these will be run off
this morning. Stanley Colby viii try
conclusions with Louis Franks at
clock, and the Livingston brothers
will decide which is entitled to meet
Tracy in the second round.
At 4 p. m. the first of the second
round matches viii be started and a
battle royal may be looked for in each
match. Ed. Garden and o. Fl. ingalls,,
who played the finals in the High
School tournament last spring, will
again meet across the net.
Garden won out by narrow margin
in the former tournament and ingalls,
is ont for revenge this time. Steven
son will play Larimer at the same time
and, as this is the first appearance of
either man in d Honolulu tournament,
the result is completely in doubt until
the match is played.

Baseball Redivivus.
The baseball fans were considerably
bucked up by the reports in yesterday
mornings paper to the effect that the
grounds would be all 0. K for the big
baseball game next Sunday. This
series, long postponed as it has been,
bids fair to create more excitement
than anything that has been put ON here
for years.
Both teams were out for practise yes
terday.@ The Japs went to Aala park
and the Sparklers went out to Makiki.
The result of the series is being taken
very seriously by both teams. The
Diamond Heads are awaking to the fact
that they have no mortal cinch and are
determined to turn out with their very
best team when they appear in the
enemy's country down at the Athletic
park.
Walker is Confident.
Henry Walker, the famous centerfeld
artist of the Japs, was seen yesterday
on the subject of possibilities Henry
spoke very strongly on the support that
Gibson would get from the field. He
said 81 don t say anything about my
self, you know that | can usually dc
the right thing at centerfeld and can
bingle when [ have to, but you can
take it from me that there viii be good
support at infeld for Gibson. | agree
with what The Advertiser said about
Glib never getting real support. But
believe me, he will get support this
time
Henry's talk was backed up by what
Jack Motley had to say. Jack is becom-
ing really enthused over the possibili-
ties of his team. He has been quite
pessimistic until recently. Now he has
turned over new leaf and is doing the
optimistic stunt to beat the band. He
is working his men hard and expects to
coach them to victory.
