HOW FLORAL PARADE is ADVER-
TlSED.
In advertising last years Floral
Parade, the Comitteee secured an un.
usually large amount of publicity for
the Territory. Over $4,000 copies of
Mr.. Harry Mist's excellent poster, in
the form of window cards, stickers
and billboard sheets, were widely dis
trlDuted in almost every part of the
civilized world.
The, Committee has already taken
active steps in advertising the 1911
Parade, and the offer of a prize of
800 for poster design, has attracted
considerable attention among main.
land artists, ana It is hoped that de.
signs may be submitted by local com
petitors
CREATING DESIRE TO TRAVEL.
During the year just closing, we
have made use in greater degree than
ever before, of special form letters
and post cards, addressed personally
to many thousands of names on select.
ed lists which we have been able to
secure. The excellent results accom-.
plished through this method in the
past may well be looked for again
! in fact the returns by every mail in
dictate that the desired impression has
been made.
ON TRAIL OF AUTO OWNERS.
Early last February we sent out
a form letter to the Secretaries Of
various commercial organizations II
practically every city and town of i'm
portance in the country, asking tina
they secure for us membership list
of automobile, golf, and country clubs
in their vicinity. The results from
these letters exceeded our expecta
tions, and we are under many OBJ
legations to our correspondents 70
the pains they took in securing tn
lists for us. AS result we now hav
a AllOoJ NcAlulDlC COltCSllOl vi cluhl
es numbering upwards of 10000, mad
up of men of means and leisure i
every part of the country.
AFTER THE PEDAGoGUEs ALSO
Besides the above we mailed, earl
this year, a letter to the principal {
practically every high school in tn
United States and Canada, west of tn
Mississippi River, together with IL
900 postcards calling the attention
teachers to the splendid summer G.
< mate we have. and the desirability
r Hawaii as a place to spend their loI
J. vacation.
Through a letter addressed to Il
rarians of practically all of the pub
!, Libraries of the United Saes, we ha
received a thousand or more lists
!, books on Hawaii, which are on the
= shelves.
9 Another valuable list Of betwet
5000 and 10000 addresses of perso
likely to be interested in Hawaii, w
obtained through the courtesy of mai
wholesale grocery firms througho

Mr.. Carlyle looked forward to the
time when there would be a "chival-

industry against anarchic nature
would gather into it those feelings
of gallantry and nobleness, which
have found their vent hitherto in
fighting only: when mans work
would be no longer to splinter Ian
ces or break down walls, but to break
soil, TO build barns and factories, and
to find a high employment for him
self in what hitherto has been de-
spised as degrading"

them costly and some OF them un-

children of the family use text books

clothes of older brothers and sisters,
and when turned and trimmed they
are ready for even Sunday morning.

Spirituality.

Spirituality is love that is constant,
the peace that outlives the tumult in
every storm, long suffering which
bides its time, the kindness whose
heart goes out to friend and Zoe and
rich aud poor, the goodness that has
in 1t no heck OF flaw, the faithfulness
that makes a man faithful through

virtues are utterly useless except In
