The longest pipe in the world is that

of this exchange. the New York Fruit

In the face of adverse conditions the
exchange handled practically half
million bushels of potatoes for the

The association sold over 1900 tons

farmers goods, making Il profit of over
$1,000 on such things combined
The exchange started out with every

Pearl Harbor and the Canal.
The decision to fortify Pearl Harbor
as our principal naval base in the Pa
cifc is a wise one, and President Taft's
action will be approved by not only
the military and naval experts, but by
the entire population of the United
States. This location gives u fleets
in the Pacific the same advantage of
position as is enjoyed by Great Brit
ain at Malta as far as the Mediter-
ranean sea is concerned.
The American people want the work
well done, thoroughly done and com
pletely done, cost what it may. and
they expect it done as speedily as it
a be done in the very best possible
manner. With San Francisco bay and
Puget sound as the bases upon our
coast line and Pearl Harbor base al
most directly west Of the Panama ca
nal, the Pacific end of that great wa
terway will be we'll guarded by our

The decision Of the army and navy
board, approved by President Taft, to
make Pearl Harbor the greatest naval

more important than most Americans
realize. The famous Hawaiian harbor

solves the problem Of supremacy on
the Pacific.
