SHORT WEIGHT GROCERY SCALES
AND ALL THE SHORT MEASURES
IN HONOLULU TO Be HAULED IN

The government is about to pounce
upon all in this City and County of
Oahu who are in any way fooling the
unsuspecting public with false weights
or measures.
On Monday next two trusted men,
engaged by the Superintendent Of
Public Works, will go out into the
highways and byways of this COM
munity and secretly investigate the
condition of all weights and measures,
of all scales and yard sticks, of all
quarts and pints and bushels and ev-
erything else in the way of mechanical
means used for the weighing or meas
urement of solid or liquid foods, or for
the calculation of clothing or other
material for wearing apparel.
In large cities of the mainland there
has of late been a great move for the
purifying of the system of weighing
and measuring out the things neces-
sary to the feeding or clothing of hu-
manity. Thousands upon thousands of

Judge Henry e. Cooper received the

(From specIal correspondent.l

LANSING, Mich, Sept. 15.-(Spe.)
In going about the state your cor
respondent discovers that the readers
OF the Ttmes--representa men OF
both political parties-are much exer-
cised over the editorial appearing In
recent issue relative to the kind OF
delegates that are to represent the
state at the next national convention.
They realize hey are bound hand
and foot by the professional politician.
and the rank and file OF both parties
seriously objects to being handled like
hock OF sheep and driven into the
fold of Taft or Harmon
IL Is no exaggeration to say that
FULLY eighty per cent of the Republi-
cans prefer some other than Mr.. Taft
as their candidate for president and
am equally sure that. seventy per
cent or the Democrats favor the selec-
ton of some one other than Mr.. Har-
mon as their candidate.
But what are they to do about Il?
That is the question they ask
themselves and among themselves.
II Is possible that the mass of DEM
ocrats can overthrow the would-be
owners OF the party. and assert them
selves In such a manner as to force
the selfappointed dictators to fly to
cover, for fear that they will lose con-
troll unless they give heed to the clam
or OF the progressiyes who are largely
In the majority in that party.
But what chance have the great
mass OF Republican voters to give
vent to their disapprovaf OF this pro
gram as framed up?
They lack leaders and organization.

Of the state was organized In a man.
ner that would permit OF an express
sion OF the true situation as to the
strength OF the opposition to this
"standpat' program and Its candi-
dates, II would open the eyes OF the
country, and new leaders would
spring up. pushing the old pap suck
ers OF the boards, and the result
would be delegation of men going
to both national conventions, honest
ly representing the wishes of a big
majority of the voters.
Can this be done?
Or will the people sit idly by and
see this opportunity to select repre-
sentatiyes rather than misrepresenta-
tives pass?
Dozens Of men are anxious to join
a movement, its object to secure dele
gates that will nominate men on both
party tickets that reflect the progress
sive sentiment of the day, but they
don't know how or where to begin.
Someone will be doing the whole
state a great service, IL he can sub
init plan that will give this unor-
ganized opposition a chance to make
itself heard and felt.

MITES KILLING
GRASSHOPPERS
EXAMINATIONS or MANY DEAD
eRAssHoPPERs SHOWS THAT
SMALL LICE WHICH INFESTED
THE COUNTRY ABOUT THREE
YEARS AGO ARE AGAIN HERE.

During the last few days the fnd-
ing of many dead grasshoppers in
the fields nave lead to an examination
Of the cause of the determination of
the much dreaded pest. The investi-
cation shows that mites are killing
off the grasshoppers.
The little insects are found in great
numbers under the wing of the grass
hoppers just where the wing joins
on to the body Of the animal. 1t APP
pears that the little insects bury their
fangs into the body of the grass
hopper and slowly kill it.
Yesterday one of the grasshoppers
having a large number of the lice on
1t, was taken into the cigar store of
Jack Thorne where an examination
of the condition of the grasshopper
was made.
The grasshopper appeared to be
perfectly lifeless but when the little
lice were shaken and pulled off the
animal began to show signs of life
again and seemingly recovered from
its deathlike stuper.
The mites have been able to work
a great deal during the recent damp
and cold weather. At this time the
grasshopper jumps about very little
and the timer insect can get in its
deadly work while the animals are on
the ground. However in the warm
weather the hopping about Of the
gives him a good chance
to shake off the little red destroyer.
Farmers have reported that many
Of the grasshoppers are being found
dead in the field, and the loss of life
In the grasshopper tribe is attributed
to the work of the little red mites
Three years ago this same mite
struck North Dakota and rid the farm
ers of many of their grasshoppers
during the season. With little more
damp and cold weather it is believed
that the vast majority of the grass
hoppers will be killed.
