BURKE BEATS DIXON.
Considerable Money Changes Hands
on the Result of the Game.


Burke, S, D.. Aug. 14.-Special to
The News: The Burke ball team still
retains it's title as champion of the
Rosebud country, although Friday it
had the fastest and hardest game of
the season thus far. Fresh from a
series of almost unbroken victories.
the Dixon team came to Burke to take
the scalps of the local boys, but after
very snappy contest the game ended
with score Of 4 to l for Burke. Ed
die Miller was the center for the
locals and had the visitors at his mer.
cy all the time, while Sully pitched
nearly as good game for Dixon. The
Dixon team is by far the strongest ag-
greSation that Burke has had to con-
tend with this year There was much
hitting, but very few safe ones. Brot-
SKY, Burke's fast shortstop, got a home
run, but after he had landed on the
plate the umpire called him out for
cutting second. Considerable money
was wagered on the game. as the Wis
itors were full of confidence.
Burke made it three straight from
Dixon by taking Saturdays game by
a score of to ! in one of the fast
est games ever played in the Rosebud
country. This makes a total of TWEEN
ty-one games played by the Burke
team this year of which seventeen
have been victories. Among the teams
played and defeated are: Omaha
Colored Giants, two out of three; Ma
per, Neb., two out of three; Herrick,
5. d., two out of three; Santee In

AGRICULTURISTS DISCOVER THAT
TARO WILL CROW IN CALIFORNIA
AND THINK IT VALUABLE CROI

SAN FRANCISCO, July 14.-Taro,
presumably capable of being grown
only in Hawaii, promises to reduce the
food bill of the country and to add
vastly to the agricultural resources of
California, for the agricultural depart
ment of the University of California,
after several months of experimenting
any climate that approXimates to that
concludes that taro can be grown in
of California.
Taro is a product of the South Sea
islands 1t is a cousin of that valuable
tuber, the potato, but far exceeds its
relative in flavor and in the amount
that can be produced per acre.
The introduction of the taro to the
people of the United States is due to
the agricultural department at Wash
Iington, which for the past four years
has had experts in the field looking
for food products in foreign countries
that could be grown to advantage in
this country.
One of the first experiments made
was with taro, tuberous plant grown
in a semi-tropical climate and peculiar
To the islands of the Pacific.
Experiments Are Success.
The taro, from which the delectable
POI of Hawaii is made, was sent to
government experiment stations in
California, Florida, Georgia and South
Carolina. The taro plant took kindly
to it's new environment and within
few years the different experiment
stations reported that taro could be
grown as a comercial possibility, not
only in California but in all States
below the Mason Dixon line that had
swampy land, for it is in swamps and
the lowlands that taro thrives best.
Experiments proved that this tuber
destined to supplant even the white
potato, could be grown equally we'll in
the tule lands of California and in the
swamps of Mississippi.
It is easily cultivated; is productive
to a remarkable degree and produces
with a minimum of cul-
tivation. In fact, were it not for the
extreme prolificity of the tarc tuber,
many generations of South Sea Is
landers would have persisted from
hunger.

Queckemeyer changed his mount soon
after the period started. The ball was
sent just outside the military goal
from a melee right in front of it, Oahu
pressing bravely and in a determined
effort to cinch the result right there.
Forsyth saved the situation. Atkinson
let the ball slip past him and Sheridan
scored with a corlling good shot which
sent the stock of the gallant Fifth
a-soaring.
Score: Oahu 2, Cavalry 2%.
Atkinson picked up the ball cleverly
and Castle missed connections but was
swooped down on by Dillingham; who
bungled shot to goal Castle did
exactly the same thing, indeed the pep
pc ring the goal got made it remarkable
that the Oahus didn't fatten their score
then and there. Andrews took the
ball up but Forsyth proved equal to
the occasion. Andrews came again,

ton, that is, he must grow in perfect
balance physically, mentally and NOR
ally. There are many educated fools
everywhere who soweth not nor
weaveth and who add nothing to this
world by his presence. What present
Hawaii needs is robust, healthy and
right minded men and women who
SOW and weave and till the soil to add
to the wealth of the Territory which
awaits mans labor to be one of the
wealthiest corners of the world.
you are aware now that the labor
trouble of 1909 was led by the edu-
Gated Japanese-theorists and dream
'ers whose hands never held a shovel
or a hoe. The trouble caused by
those men cost us $4,000 in cash, to
say nothing about individual losses
of the strikers who were forced to
join the strike. Perhaps the trouble
cost us 100000 all told. Now what
did the laboring class get in return?
Practically nothing"

Takes Place Of Potato.

The place the potato occupies in the
food list of cililized nations is. taken
by the taro tuber in the Pacific islands.
1t is the staff of life of millions of
islanders and promises to supplant al
other vegetables in the CUISINE OF the
housewives of this country.
The Department of Agriculture in
tends to send taro tubers all over the
country; to every State where it can
be grown to advantage, and the near
future may see the taro staple article
of diet on American tables and become
a great factor in reducing the food
bills of the country.
A recent report issued by the De-
partment of Agriculture, compiled after
careful experiments, decares the taro
tuber can be baked, stewed, roasted or
eaten raw as a salad and can be grown
in fifteen States in the Union.
Prolific as is the taro, it promises to
be rivaled as a food plant by the cas-
sava, West Indian root plant which
takes the place of wheat in Cuba, Porto
Rico and the other islands in the Car
ribean sea.
CassaVa Is Available.
The cassava, which belongs to the
turnip and beet family, is ground up,
the poisonous juices pressed out and
ground into flour, which forms the
bread of thousands of West Indians.
The cassava has, through experiment
proven to be well adapted to American
culture and promises to be an impor-
tant food factor.
There are three varieties of the cas-
sava, two of them poisonous and one
harmless. The poisonous varieties are
rendered harmless by extracting the
juice by presses, which leaves a pure
yellow fiber which is converted into
flour.
The Agricultural Department. how
ever, not wishing to endanger the peo-
rle of the country, has confined it's ex-
periments to the nOn-poisonous variety. |
Specimen plants have been distributed |
to various farms in the South and
West with excellent results, and it has !
been found that any State that is be- ,
low the frost line can raise the cassava
to commercial advantages.

The Unionism Plan.

Hawaii Herald: 1t seems that just
now EIilo is to have her first touch of
unionism under the leadership of Mr..
David Ewaliko. 1t has been an
nounced that any member of the union
who trades with an Oriental will be
fined. This should work out very well
indeed especially for those who live
at Waiakea, where there is not a sin
gle haole store. OF course, these peo-
pie will come to Hilo to obtain the
articles they need, but they must tele-
phone here to one of the local hack
stands for hack Tor Walk, as no
matter whether they are poor or not,
they cannot ride in the ten-cent Japan
csc bus. 1t will be all right for the
Portuguese, too, for they do not use
poi, but the Hawaians, who depend
absolutely upon the Chinese for poi,
all the merchants in that line being of
this Oriental blood, will have to go
without or be fined. The poor un-
lOIJuudJS lIldl WIN has III llOllS Will
also suffer, or, rather he will be COM
PEELED to live better, when he lives at
all, for he may no longer patronize the
Chinese restaurants, but will go to-
the Demosthenes or the Hilo Hotel.
The family man must go without
meat, as he is liable to be served by
Chinese at the meat market, while he
would be heavily fined if he
should buy fish from a Japanese wom-
an at the local fish markets. 1t does
look a bit as though Mr.. Ewaliko has
bitten off slightly more than he could
masticate. Unions very often work
very much for the good, but any union
framed upon the lines which have
been proposed by the local Gompers
is bound to fall of it's own weight.

with that of those who returned tc
Japan and what bright future there
is for our children in Hawaii.
Will Be Citizens.
Our children will enjoy, when
they reach majority, the same right
and privileges as the children of other
races-from which rights and privil-
! eyes we ourselves are barred by an
unjust law at present. Our children
are entitled to homestead privileges
and to homestead, while many present
! plantation lands wwill be converted in
near future which means that our chill
dren will be landowners who may
raise sugar, for instance, and sell their
crops to the mills. When that day
comes our children will be independ-
| ent farmers and full-ledged free citi-
zens. l cannot help envying their
conditions
"These children are receiving good
education in government schools
without mourning much expense to
their parents, and, for their educa-
ton in their native tongue private
schools are provided for, everywhere
the schools as good and ideals as we
see before us today. However, I do
not believe in over-education. l hate
to see chilrren growing weak, having
their little brains and bodies over
taxed with so-called education. IN
this respect l hope the curriculum in
Japanese schools will be limited to
the study of the language and per
haps to history-history, I say, be-
cause in reading the history of his
own race a child will grow into a
self-respecting citizen who will regard
himself as the descendant of no mean
race, One without certain amount Of
self-pride can never stand in the
world as an Independent self-respect-
ing citizen.
Education Here.
Some parents think that their chill
dren should be sent back to Japan
for education. I think it is a great
mistake and will only tend to dis
qualify children for future citizen
ship in this country. No man can
serve two masters, and if our chill
dren wish to enjoy the citizens right
and privileges under the republican
government of the United States they
should be educated in American
schools.
Too Much School.
81 cannot help thinking that our
countrymen, particularly those living
here, overestimate the value of edu-
cation. They believe that the longer
boy is left in school the wiser he
must grow.
"a perfect man must develop IN
every direction in a proper proper
