TRADE Of HAWAII
FOR TEN MONTHS

Hawaii's aggregate commerce for
the ten months ending April 80 de-
clined SS53,447 as compared with the
same period last year.
This is smaller decline than might
have been expected in view of the
fact that shipments of merchandise to
the United States mainland fell off
nearly four million dollars, The de.
crease in value of sugar exports was
more than four and quarter millions
This result is partly IN account of
later marketing of the sugar crop this
year. and partly of lower prices, as
may be calculated from the figures
given below.
Imports from the United States in
the ten months considered were this
year S1S,456,S1O, as compared with
S16,946,926 last year, or an increase
for 1911 of $1,5O9,SS4. Foreign goods
included in the foregoing amounted to
$220,656 this year against $234,O57 last
year, a decrease of $13,4Ot. The in
crease in American products was
therefore $1,529,2S5.
Hawaii shipped to the United States
in the ten months of this year $50 ,S64,-
166 worth, of which $50, 15O,546 was in
Hawaiian products. In the same pc
riod vast year the total shipments were
$34 ,137,S76, of which $33,525, 7S3 rep
resented Hawaiian products There
was therefore a decrease of $3,375, 237
in Hawaiian products and of $3,973,710
al told
Hawaii's trade with foreign coun.
tries shows an increase of over nine
hundred thousand dollars net, nearly
three-fourths of which was made in
imports. Imports from foreign coun-
tries to this Territory for the ten
months ending with April last were
$4,55S,23G, as compared with $3,S19,-
O96 last year, an increase of $739, 140.
Shipments of domestic products to
foreign countries in the same period
were $451 sol, being $174,177 more
than last year, and of foreign mer.
chandise $3.50, being $293S less than
last year, all which shows a net in,
crease of Sill ,239 in exports for the
+ ten months compared.
The grand total of imports for the
ten months ending with April 1911
was $23,O15,O46, and of exports $31,
319,627, making the aggregate com
merce of Hawaii for period $54, 1874 ,673
For the corresponding period ending
! in 1910 the grand total of imports was
$40, 766,022, and of exports $34,422,
09S, making an aggregate commerce
OF $55, 1SS,120, which shows a decline
for 1911 of $S53,447 This may be
mostly or altogether overtaken by
the figures for the whole fiscal year
ending June 30.
Sugar shipments to the States foI
the ten months ending April 80 this
year amounted to .736,4S7,794 pounds
valued at $26,SO1,23S, against S2O,793,
46l pounds valued at $31,171 APO for
the corresponding. period ending last
year. Unrefned sugar shipped in the
1911 period was 72O,299,S94 pounds
valued at $26,O16,993, against 79O,396,
161 valued at $29,511,5OS in the 1910

BEAT GlLBERT'S LAW BILL
Only Fifty-four Representatives Are Found to Favor Proposed
 Changes.

Springfield. Ill., May 5.-Hiram T.. Gnberts bill codifying the court pro cedure acts and revising the entire system of practice was defeated in the house, after a long debate. The bill. which contains 1902 pages, is the longest ever introduced in the Illinois legislature. and it contained such tre- mendous amount of material that less than half q dozen members had the industry to read it through from title to enacting clause.
 Representative Chiperneld scored his most effective argument when, holding the bill in one hand and a copy of the revised statutes in the other, he asked the house members if they were willing to pass revisions containing more laws than have been put upon the statute books in years.

AMERICANS ORGANIZED TO SAVE WOMEN AND CHILDREN IF
 INSURGENTS TAKE CITY.
COLONY GROWS ALARMED
Arrangements Made for Defense in Case Diaz Government Collapses Look Toward Vera Cruz
 for Relief.

City of Mexico, May 5.-Such a de- gree of organization has been reached that should the Diaz government col lapse suddenly as so many apprehend, and the reVolutionists not come into the City of Mexico immediately, there would still be lined up a body of men to defend the women and children for few hours, perhaps even for a few days, against the ruffians of the Balsas district, who are said to be dangerous. Of course, there are many persons in the City of Mexico who are anxious to divert attention from their own short comings by initiating a movement which however irrational and barbar- ous, temporarily might be popular.
 Should such lawless interregnum take place. some reliance for moder- ating influences can be put upon the educated class of the community, and even more upon the friendly feeling of the hard-work.ng peons, who, seem very much to pre- ar American employ CTS to those of their own nationality.
 omnous Tyre HeraIds Fleet.
 The news that sore American war ships of Admiral N ards command have sailed for gulf potts is published in the morning papers in the largest type known to Mexican printers. No comment is made, but the large type and the silence are most eloquent. This news has been received with en- thusiasm by the American colony. Americans believe that if two of those ships should anchor off Vera Cruz the position of the Americans in the capital would be very strong.
 The situation in Mazatlan is crit ica Many Americans there are said to be running short of food and un- able to get out, as the sea is guarded l by Mexican gunboats and the land | by revolutionists.
 The postoffce department has been notified railroad traffic on the Mexi- can railway between Mexico City and Laredo may be discontinued at any time, because of the activity of rebel bands.
 As indicating the imminence of rev olutionary assault on Mexico City, the government has mounted powerful searchlights so that all roads may be watched at night.
 Amercans robbed while riding in a Pullman on the OaXaca Express have l filed a protest with Ambassador Will son, because they were robbed by ban dits while en route to Mexico City. 1 With food prices soaring skyWard because of the Interruption of rail way communication and well author ticated reports reaching the capital that force of 2000 revolutionists is within striking distance, it is admit ted even by the most conservative government officials that the outlook is extremely critical.
 Much depends on the peace confer ence now in progress on the banks of the Rio Grande, but unless an agree ment is soon reached it is feared 1t will be too late.
 l Disorder of the most extreme type is reported from the states of Sonora, Guerrero. Durango, Coahuila, Puebla, 1 Morales, and in fact in every state eX- cepting the so-called federal territory, and Oaxaca and Chiapas.

A city-bred farmer furnishes this COM
pendulum Of his experience: Owned a

years; SO has my wife; never made a
profit any year; farm now incumbered for
about all 1t is worth: would like job

What he bought was really gold
brick. To other city-bred men whose
thoughts turn to the land we say: You
can lose your money as effectually buying
land as you can buying oil stock; in
ii. ate; see tat the land-not land a
mile away, but the actual piece you are
buying-is suitable to the kind OF farm
Ing you have in mind. Understand that
in buying a farm you are buying 1op:
The money you pay for the titie-deed
gives you an opportunity to apply your
labor Of hand and head to the SOIL The
more intelligent and efficient tho labor,
the more the soil will respond. To unin-
telligent, inefficient labor the best soil
will yield little. You may apply seven
thought-power and three-hand power or
seven hand-power and three thought
power; hut you must put ten into the
land to get ten out of 1t. You cannot
market your fruit from photograph.
