KUHIO'S TRANSPORTATION BILL
HAS LITTLE CHANCE OF PASSING

position to the bill comes from Amer
lean shipowners and builders, the
American Marine Engineers and Mar
inc Firemen's Association, the latter
because it would put Japanese ships,
which have a very large subsidy and
Japanese crews, in competition with
Americans.
The situation is extremely regretted
by Delegate Kalanianaole, who has dill
igently labored for it's enactment dur
ing the present session by calling at
tention to the urgent need of better
transportation facilities between Ha-
waii and the mainland. 1t was thought
that when the bill was amended linn

States and one or more of the ports of
China, Japan, the Philippines or Aus

Senate has insisted, and result in it's
enactment Even this concession has
failed of its purpose, according to well

The principal value OF an absorbent

Her Cousin Joe
By LOUISE HENDERSON


II all began for lilly the day heI
father came home from the, village
with box and letter for her. The
box held books. worn volumes mostly
the overflow from Joe Mackintosh's II
brary. and the letter told how he had
happened to send them to lilly.
Joe Macintosh was first cousin to
Tflly's father. though considerably
younger and a promising lawyer in
the city. Once when Tilly was a little
thing Of s he had come up into the
hills with companion for two days
fishing and had lodged at the poor
cabin in the clearing Tilly remem-
bered him. And It seemed he remem-
bered her. for he had sent her the
books.
Tilly's mother was a stout, slattern.
Iy woman and her father a hard.
working man who for all his hard
work seemed not to accomplish any
thing. Neither of them knew more OF
the worlds affairs than did the wood
chucks that wheeled on sunny after
room In the hig' lanting pasture.
Il wish the lsr 4 that man'd kept his
readin' trash to home The young one
won't be worth her salt to help with
the chores till she gets 'em all read
through" grumbled the mother.
Tilly did not stop with reading them
through; she read them again and
again. she studied and pondered them,
for there was much she did not I'M
derstand Through them she came to
feel that she had friend in their
gfver OF whom she must never lose
sight.
Toes letter had been brief and
simple. It babe her tell him whether
the box had arrived safely and how
she liked its contents.
Tilly spent happy hours in writing
a reply and received an answer to her
wistful little letter of thanks and graf
itude-a generous epistle which point
ed out to her many things about her
books which otherwise might have es-
capped her.
That was the way in which their
long correspondence started lilly

Joe her aspirations and hopes and I'm.

The waste OF fertilizers through the

throughout the United States is enor-

1t moderately to a large area than II
1t is applied thicker on a small area.
Loss from drainage is very heavy
where the application is excessive.
' Storing Manure in Piles.
Contrary to the belief of many farm.
ers, 1t Is an easy matter to pile ma.
nure in the open in way that will
allow no loss Of fertilizing elements.
The trick Of this consists In making a
square or rectangular pile with per.
pendicular sides and the top sloping
toward the center so that the manure
will always be kept moist. Only dry
manure heats and loses ammonia,
moisture counteracting this loss.
The pile should be made deep
enough. so that the heaviest rains or
SHOWS will not wet clear through to
the bottom and cause teaching. This
Is not difficult since a pile three or
four feet deep will absorb even the
heaviest rains. Such piles may be
placed upon tight board floor or a
piece of puddled clay or even ordi.
nary soil without danger of loss. The
essential factor is to keep the top of
the pile hollow so that moisture runs
into the manure, instead of off of It.
as occurs in the ordinary cone-shaped
pile. which We so frequently see be-
hind the barn
Storage Of Manure in Sheds.
A combined manure storage shed
and shelter for stock may be used to
advantage on many farms. Where the
manure is so stored it must be kept
moist, since drying out will re-
suit In fire fanging. A tight floor
in such a shed is unnecessary, pro-
viding moisture is not excessive. and
sufficient litter being used In the
stable. Where manure Is stored In the
stable and becomes dry, II should be
thoroughly wet down to prevent fur.
Their loss Of ammonia. There is no
damage to the manure from animals
walking over 1t, providing 1t is kept
sufficiently moist
Supplementing farm manures with
other fertilizers by mixing them in
the stable is very generally practiced
with good results. One pound of rock
phosphate or floats per day for each
animal sprinkled on the manure In
the stable will generally provide suff.
cient phosphate fertilizer to make the
manure ideal for most crops. Other
absorbents, such as gypsum or land
plasters, are quite generally used.
since they aid somewhat In absorbing
liquids.
Avoid Ashes With Manure.
Farmers need to be cautioned gen.
orally against the use of wood ashes |
and lime with manure. The ashes |
and lime produce an alkaline condi.
ton, resulting in the loss of the am.
monia which carries off the nitrogen.
This point has not been sufficiently
and many we'll meaning
farmers have used ashes and lime
with manure to disadvantage. The
line and ashes, II needed by the soil.
should be put on in other years than

)lied
On light soils. where coarse manure

n. rotted manure should be used. Ma
lure may be rotted under sheds by

this character. it is best to thorough.

liquids. but most important Is to use
plenty Of bedding.
Haul Manure Daily.
The regular spreading of farm ma
nures in the fields daily saves the
greatest amount of fertilizers. as
there is practically no loss from leach.
Ing. Manure should not be spread
upon frozen ground unless It Is level.
or upon hilly land where washing
rains are likely to carry It away. On

loss. When applied to the fields ma
nure should be spread uniformly over
the land and not in small heaps. as
the latter method is wasteful of fer
tilizer materials. II also involves
more labor to spread these piles later
in the season. and the pile of manure
can never be so effectively distrib-
uted as when freshly hauled.

READ THE DICTIONARY

From the New York Telegraph
 An old professor was once asked what book he would choose if he were to be allowed only one volume for the rest of his life. He instantly answered.: An English dictionary!'
 This seems at first grotesque choice. For whatever other merits a dictionary may have most of us would say of it what Boston girls of the Bible: Its style is rather abrupt, and it has no perceptible plot"
 But when we look little deeper and reflect on what miracle language is and how much of the races traditions are en- shrined in it, We may come to regard the professors option not so freakish, after all. For we shall find that the words we use every day without thought of their origin cover up beneath their familiar syllables vast amount of wars and struggles, the comedies and tragedies, the religions and institutions of all the ages Indeed, if at this moment every written history were to be destroyed we could dig up a very copious Knowledge of the past out of the words that we exchange with one another every day of our lives Far more than our institutions and be- liefs. our words bind us to the past and by means of words the days of old are woven into tine web of our inmost thoughts.

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch
 The love affairs of the idle rich disclose nothing quite so interesting as the rocky road the romance of Alfred Vanderbilt and Mrs. Smith Rollins McKim has been travelling. Time was. perhaps, when money was regarded as a sckening sub stitute for sentiment. but that time has passed. The dollar now enters, like the hero in the nick O time to drive away the pair together and deliver the "bless you, my children" with the conventional and necessary unction.
 The great obstacle to smooth running in this case was Mrs. McKim's husband. A long trip and a tiresome, vexing sojourn in Reno were not sufficient to drive him from the picture. He persisted. He re- tained lawyers. He said the divorce was no divorce. He instituted suits for alie- nation. He had the lover summoned, the ladys father subpoenaed and the fairy friend of the lovers-a widow-was inn pleaded in the case. He had no apprecia- ton at all of the clements of a modern romance.
 but JuSt when the situation was most embarrassing-when the lights were down and the 1ddles were saving a whimper- ing, eXpectant monotone-Mr. Vanderbilt bethought him. Also he dug up and came across. The effect was instantaneous. Mckim's face brightened. His tears were 0ried. His heart was salved. He looked ever the poultice prescribed for his lacer- ated affections. It looked like s150,00n He counted 1t. It was s15O.OO0. He took a new inventory of himself and couldn't find a dent. He looked over the divorce decree and the flaws had disappeared The outrageous father in the case was no longer outrageous. The meddlesome widow was charming The alenator- in chief was a perfect gent. Everything IS lovely and the curtain will go down as the parson enters and the wedding belts ring out.
 Captious persons may ask why such a pother-why this trip to Reno, why the divorce that was, then wasn't and then was again, why the suits, why anything, when it could have been settled in the first place by the payment and a bill of sale? We cannot answer. We do not pre- tend to understand the methods of the idle rich. They have their own ideas of a romance
