Manly in
PianOCOntest
Three Weeks More It'll
Close of the Race.
Miss StetSon is Still Leading
Uith Miss Arnau Second and
Miss Blocker is Third.

Although the contest has now reached
the middle point and is travelling to-
ward the end, there is still plenty Of
time during the three weeks that re-
main for some ambitious and energetic
young woman. who fully realizes all
that Is at stake and really wants one
of these valuable prizes, to get right
out and win the one she has set her
heart upon.
No contestant has lead that cannot
be overcome, and a little energetic
work on the part of some contestant
will surely place herdn a commanding
position, one fran which IL will be very
difficult TO dislodge her.
Three weeks from now the contest
will draw to close and the handsome
piano, pretty furniture set and useful
college course will be given away abso-
lutely free. The prospect Of such large
reward for small amount of work
ought to enthuse the most lukewarm.
Below appears the relative standing
of each contestant at the close Of

White City Growers
Form Organization

For some time the citrous growers of
White City and vicinity have talked of
forming an association for the protec-
tionIof the citrus industry against any
insect pests or diseases Of any kind, and
while there is no pest or disease OF any
kind to call for the united efforts OF
the growers. yet the residents believe
ia taking time by the forelocF, and re-
alizing that the time will come sooner
or later 1t is best to prepare for war,
and therefore nip the deadly flower in
the bud before it has time to fruit and
spread. So. in accordance with that
thought. the most prominent growers
got together Saturday afternoon and
organized the White City Citrus Pro-
tective Association, drawing up a set
of bylaws, and electing officers and di-
r,ctors to carry on any Investigations

Chapter XVIII. Delayed Decisions

THE remainder of the evening was, tor Thur
ley, more of trial than a comfort. Her
triumph continued; but she felt its hollowness,
felt that mockery dogged her footsteps and that
dark abySscs loomed ahead.
She could not escape her besicgers, the eager
Swans who continued, in varying manner, to
convey their state of heart and mind. Count
Fiaschi was not in the least rebuffed at least to
outward appearances. Both he and Gaillard
took advantage of every possible moment to
push to her side and renew their more or less
invulnerable wooing.
Even the midnight supper, where at thirty
daintily decorated little tables the guests were
assembled for refreShment, failed to relnSplre
the Ingenious delight with which the " Princess y
had entered upon the evening.
1t was late, and Thurley was weary and a
little depressed, when at length she and Alice
rctrcated from the scene to be driven to their
home. Both would undoubtedly have been
thoroughly alarmed had they known that IN

had managed to avoid actual contact with the noble

tuitonS and aroused her curiosity. She followed Thur

wind and rain storm-in spite of the
rough seas a boat was lowered and
pulled out toward the drowning boy,
got him aboard and went back to tho

time of seven minutes, saving the life
of the mess boy. When one takes into
consideration the very adverse wealth

Sailing from the Coast between Sep
TENDER 10 and October l, four cruis-
ers and eight torpedo destroyers are
coming to Hawaii, according to infor-
nation received by Rear Admiral
Cowles on Saturday.
The cruisers California, South Da-
kota, West Virginia and Colorado and
the destroyers Whipple, Hopkins,
Hull, Truxton, Paul Jones, Perry,
Preble and Stewart are those named
for the cruise.
According to the information from
naval headquarters the date of the
sailing of the fleet has not been
definitely set, and it is likely they will
get away from the Coast quietly and
with no one knowing just the time of
sailing.
By schedule the ships are due back
at San Pedro on November /, and if
they sail from the Coast by Septem-
Der 10 it will give them nearly six
weeks in these waters.
