NINE MORE DAYS
TO THE CONTEST

Only nine more days in which to
enlist for The stars great contest,
and one of them is a Sunday. This
is a short time for the reason that
contestants must prepare for work.
Soldiers never go into battle without
getting ready for it. They would be
at too much of a disadvantage. So
it will be in this contest. Every lady
and gentleman should have his or
her working plans shaped out before
the start is made. This is the plain
est thing in the world Start right;
start prepared; start with whoop-
and everything will come your way.
And by the way, this campaign for
The Hawaiian Star is going to be
great deal easier than many may sup
pose. Everybody in the Islands
knows that The Star does not 10
things by halves, and does every
thing that it says it will do. There
is general widespread confidence in
the integrity of the. paper and the
company behind it. Whether sub
scribers or not, every man feels a
deep-rooted faith in The Star, and
this is a big thing. The Star has
never attempted a subscription cam
paign, so that contestants will find
the field new and inviting. Subscrip.
lions will come easy and willingly.
Not tens nor scores, but hundreds
will be found who are ready and
anxious to subscribe for The Star
the only reason they are not now
on the roll being that they have
never been approached on the mat
ter Here is your chance Opportu
mites will be found at every hand, a
fact that each and every live contest
ant will soon be able to appreciate

HYpRo.AERoPLANE PROGRESS.


The development of the hpdro-aero-
plane from its first successful tests
more than a year ago is traced in an
illustrated article in the October Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine The French
engineer Fabre made the first expert
ments.
Following the Fabre experiments,
Glenn Curtiss commenced in the
United States his work of improving
the hydro-aeroplane or aero-hydro-
plane, with which he has been highly
successful. Especial credit, the arti-
Gle declares, is due to Curtiss for his
combination of the hydroplane with
land-alighting gear, so that his ma
chimes can be brought down upon or
started from either land or water.
The Curtiss system now involves
only one pontoon-like float at the cen
ter of the machine, provided with a
characteristic hydroplane underform.
Cylindrical floats at the wing tips pre-.
vent their submersion if the machine
tits on the water, but perform no nor
NAL function in landing or starting.
A small Splash plate" is placed just
above the water in front of the main
float, to give the initial elevation for
starting by striking the bow wave
pushed along by the float.

TREE PLANTING
ON LARGE SCALE

| At the meeting of the board of agri-
culture and forestry that was held
Monday afternoon, the monthly re-
ports of Forester Hosmer, Entomolog-
list Erhhorn and Forest Nurseryman
Haughs were discussed. The report
of DR.. Norgaard was not sent in.
Forester Hosmer gave an interest
ing report of his visit to Hawaii He
also said that in September 33,3S9
plants had been distributed.
Orders for over two hundred thou
sand forest trees were in already and
they would be delivered within the
next few months. Most of the trees
ordered are seedlings in boxes, but
there is also demand for young trees
which are ready for transplanting and
setting out.
Entomologist Ehrhorn, in his, re-
port, said that during his absence on
the mainland, D. B. Kuhns, the inspec-
tor of the division, performed the du-
ties required of him in the best pos
sible manner.
Ehrhorn reported that the total lots
and parcels inspected by his inspec-
tors were 796 and 1904 respectively.
During August 21,O67 bags of rice had
been received, all of which was free
of pests.
In September, thirty-two vessels
had been boarded and fruit, vegeta
bles and plants were found on TWEEN
ty-one of them. All rice imported
amounting to 22,497 bags, had beer
passed as free from pests, Many 9th
err products had been found infested
with pests and were destroyed.
Forester Hosmer had some interest
ing remarks to make on the subjec
of afforestation by the Waianae Plan
tation Company. "Since 1906 thu
Waianae Company has, under the gen
eral direction of this division, but a
it's own expense, planted in that for
est reserve about 10000 trees. Thi
little forest is growing excellent,
and, in a short time now, will max
marked difference in the appearance
of the valley. The varieties of tree
planted are eucalyptus, silk oak, am
Monterey cypress, the forester said.
The statement was made that tn
blasting for the new Tantalus roa
had caused much damage to plants a
the Makih experimental station
Large rocks had been thrown on t
the plants, and many valuable spec
mems had been destroyed.
Forester Hosmer also brought t
the attention of the board the DANCE
of the rabbit pest spreading in thes
islands. Already rabbits were to b
seen near Honolulu plantation, an
there is no doubt that the animals ar
increasing.

ANOTHER STRANGE APPEAR
ANCE


New Bedford Stndard: Only a few !
days ago we were forced to marvel |
at finding in the Springfield Republican |
an old poem-reconstructed-and at i
to Horace Smith in The
Christian Endeavor World" The mar
vel was multiplied when day or
two later the same poem-with the
same reconstruction-apT cared in the
highly esteemed Lowell Courier-Citi-
zen, under its "a Poem a Day" head,
with the same credit. Now comes
along the Kennebec Journal, printed
at Augusta Maine, with verse en-
titled Tomorrow" attributed to Sam
uel Johnson, in Kansas City Journal
The amazement which springs from
the information that Samuel john
son is still writing verses, and writ
ing them, too, for the Kansas City
Journal, is a trifle more pronounced
than that which follows the disCov-
cry that Horace Smith is working
off his old poems, with radical alter
atoms, on The Christian Endeavor
World. Because, one might imagine
Horace Smith as sending manuscripts
to almost any up-to-date newspaper,
but Samuel Johnston as a contributor
to any periodical published on this
side of the water-and in Kansas
City of all places-is inconceivable.
However, there is no supernatural
manifestation. The lines, which are
these, first appeared when Kansas
City was yet unborn:
"Tomorrow's action! can that hoary
wisdom,
Borne down with years, still dote up
on tomorrow?
The fatal mistress of the young, the
lazy,
The coward and the fool, condemned
to lose
An useless life in waiting for tomor-
row,
To gaze with longing eyes upon to-
morrow,
Till interposing death destroys the
prospects.
Strange that this general fraud from
day to day
Should fill the world with wretches,
undetected!
The soldier, laboring through a win
ter's march,
Still sees tomorrow drest in robes OF
triumph;
Still to the lovers long-eXpectine
arms
Tomorrow brings the visionary bride
But thou. too old to bear another
cheat
Learn that the present hour alone is

of the most effective in his poetica

COURT HOUSE
IMPROVEMENT
City Council and Levy Court
to Confer on Subject
Tomorrow

Much interest is shown in the con-
ference to be held tomorrow between
the committee from City Council and
the Levy Court in reference to the
building Of joint city and county
court house on the court house lawn.
During the past years much effort
has been made to get additional room
for the court house officers. The
Levy Court had plans prepared lot
an addition of two stories to tne
present building. The members OF the
bar objected to the plans and said
that the bonds could not be sold TOT
building upper stories 10 the build
ing as the law provided the bonds
for building an annex TO the present
building. Then the Levy Court had
plans prepared for an annex build
ing which would be fireproof through
out and about the size of the present
court house. About that time City
Council took up the question of a
Joint building. II is said that such a
building cannot be built without an
authorizing act of the. Legislature.
Nothing therefore could be done in
the the matter until after the spring
of 1913.
The Levy Court stopped action
pending the conference between City
Council and tbs Levy Court.
