ton, outlining the desires of she Legis
lature as to how the spending commits
sion should handle the $150,00t
to be raised as the "natural re
sources share of the immigration tax
This stated
ssThat it is declared to be the opinion
of this Legislature that expenditures
by the Board of Agriculture and For
estry during the biennial period ending
June 80, 1911, should be made, as near
ly as may be, according to the follow
ing schedule:

"And that it is the opinion of this
Legislature that the Board of Agricul-
ture and Forestry should, during the
next biennial period, use every effort
possible to accomplish the reforesta-
ton of those portions of the Territory
where the former forests have died out
or been destroyed, more especially IN
the Kohala mountains on the Island
of Hawaii, where large irrigation
bitches are conveying the waters gath
cred from the watershed into the dis
tricts of Kohala and Hamakua; that it
favors the establishment of substations
by the board of each island, to be used
as nurseries for young trees and as dis
tributing centers; that it strongly
recommends that the Board have trans
lated into the Hawaiian language ana
distributed to such persons as are inter-
ested, the bulletins issued by the Board
from time to time respecting agrleul-
ture, animal industry and entomology,
which may be beneficial to its citizens;
that it urges upon the Board the ad-
visibility of expanding the sum OF
$4,000, or so much thereof as may be
necessary. for the sinking of artesian
wells at Kapiolani Park, and 1t recon-
mends that the Board require each of
it's bureau heads to visit each island
of the Territory at least once every
six months, or as often as the Board
shall find practicable. for the purpose
of imparting technical information di-
rectly to such of the native Hawaiians
and other persons as are interested
"And that il is the opinion of this
Legislature that the Island Of Kahoo
lave should not be leased upon the ter
mination of the existing lease, but that
every effort should be made by the
proper authorities for the killing of
all animal life upon said island and
for the Improvement and restoration
Of the plant life thereon.

There's right way and wrong way

And there is new way and an old

The new way to wash clothes is the
Fels-Naptha way-in cool or lukewarm
water, no boiling, either in winter or sum
mer, and little rubbing.
And the Fels-Naptha is the right way
as well-saves time, saves the back, saves
fuel, and the wash comes out cleaner,
sweeter, whittier.

new and the old, the right and the wrong
