camera would hoodoo them; and about
every old farmer who sat down to the.
ordeal crossed. his fingers first.
BYRON o. CLARK-The demand
for Hawaiian pines is spreading all
over the whole world. There has
never been a Hawaiian product so
much advertised as our pineapples
and through them Hawaii has receiv-
ed the best advertising she has ever
had.
A. F. COOKE-Builders of bunga-
lows, who have used messy stone for
the foundation work, find that the dry
moss all comes off when the yardman
turns on the hose. l don't know why
this is, for the same kind of rock in
the field or on the hillside does not
lose it's moss in rain.
PATRICK WALSH-Make The Star

don, for a few more years, anyway.
JOHN S. McCANDLESS-The Ad-
vertiser is unfair in it's proposition
of a coupon to be signed by those who
are not in favor of the Mahuka site.
The question is put in negative and
not a positive manner. If the paper
said: "I am in favor of the Mahuka
site, therefore opposed to any change,
it would be a fairer way of putting
the matter.
EMIL BERNDT-I think the most
undignified thing the civic federation
ever did was calling a mass meeting
to consider changing the federal build
ing site. This community has twice

PRESIDENT GILMORE-With $751;

TO PLAN ANNEX
 TO CITY SCHOOL

Carrolton, May 3o.-tspecial )-Next Thursday afternoon there will be held in this place a citizens meeting for the pur- pose of formulating plans for the build ing of an annex to the school building. The building has three large rooms and during the past session the pupils were in cramped condition on account of in- creased attendance.
 When the building was erected a few years ago 1t was considered large enough for many years to come, yet within a short period the town is confronted with the problem of more room and an extra teacher.
 Carrolton supports this school with only a very small incidental fee charged each pupil, and it is fast being ranked with the best schools over the country the best of teachers always being in charge.
