MORE THAN POLITE

Essentially this means fencing and the
removal of all livestock, followed
where this may be required by the
planting of blanks and open areas.
This is work in which the government
and the plantation should cooperate,
because on the right use of our waters
lands and forests depends the pros
perity of these islands.
The second main need in forestry
in Hawaii is tree planting on waste
land. This is especially and immedi-
ately important on the sugar planta-
tons because of the increasing cost
of fuel, not to speak of other wood
supplies. In view of what has been
said so many times in former years,
it is not necessary before this asso-
citation, to enlarge on the advantage
of having on each plantation groves
of trees as a local source of wood
supply l desire merely to remind
you that the offers of the Board of
Agriculture and Forestry are still
open: % to furnish advice as to
what, where and how to plant, and
(2) to supply at cost price seedlings
of forest trees in quantity, ready for
transplanting. By this method the
plantations which for any reason pre-
fer not to maintain forest nurseries
of their own, are relieved of the trou-
bic of getting the seedlings started,
and also Of much of the danger OF
loss, for the little trees, here offered

the danger from the "damping-off
fungus" is past. AS the Division of
Forestry is decidedly limited in it's
equipment, it is advisable that orders

SUPERSTITIONS OF
PERSIA LAND
Continued from page nine)

bearer of evil tidings Indeed there is
such a prejudice against telling bad
news that it is always concealed as
long as possible from those most in
terested
In the early days of missions in
Persia the people were naturally sus-
pcious of the missionaries and were
constantly on the lookout for some
thing in their houses which would
exert a baleful influence upon native
visitors A Persian lady, calling one
day on an American lady wished to
sit in a rocking chair, which was
She got up into it with her feet and
attempted to squat upon her heels, as
she would have done upon the floor
with the result that she and the chair
took a tumble backward. Hence there
went abroad a report that the mis-
sionaries kept in their houses a ma
chine for converting people to Chris
tianity.
The great superstition is what is
known as the evil eye" You must
not say to some one whom you meet:
How well you are looking!" for if you
do and that person is taken ill, it
will be because you gave him the evil
eye. You must not say to a mother,
"What a pretty baby" What a bright
child" for if you do, and anything I'M
fortunate happens to that child, you
will be considered responsible. Moth
ers let their children go dirty and
poorly clad in order that they may
not attract favorable attention.
The sign which is thought to have
some power to avert the evil eye con-
sists in holding the second and third
fingers of both hands close to the
palms with the thumbs, while the
other fingers are extended straight
out Then with the hands behind you,
make a downward movement three
times.
Fortune tellers do a big business in
Persia. Some read the palm; others
read the stars; still others consult
the Koran, for so firmly is superstl-
ton mixed even with their religion
that "suras" or passages from their
sacred book are marked lucky or
''unlucky." Should a Persian be in
doubt as to the ACCESSIBILITY of start
ing on a journey or undertaking any
enterprise he might visit a fortune
teller and ask him to consult the Ko-
ran. Should he, opening the book at
random, chance upon a sura marked
"unlucky" it would be a divine indica-
ton that the project must be aban-
doned.
Did not our ancestors consult the
Bible in the same way? For them
the indications were not quite so GER
tain, for the translators of our Scrip
lures failed to mark passages for the
purpose of fortune telling, but the
spirit was the same.
Charms and love potions are COM
monty resorted to. There is a story
told of one man who did not believe
in love potions. In order to prove to
several friends that there was moth
ing in it he bribed the maid of a prom
inent wealthy married woman to give
her mistress a potion which was de-
signed to make her fall in love with
him. A few hours afterward the SER
want of this lady appeared at his
house, saying; MY mistress wishes
to see YOU Whereupon the man be-
came frightened and fed.

Pleasing Progress.

Pleasing Progress.
1t is a very encouraging sign that
during the past year tree planting has
received a decided impetus in Hawaii
especially in the way of shelter belts
for exposed cane fields and in groves
for the production of fuel wood. But
it is only a small part of what yearly
ought to be done until enough forest
plantations have been started to yield
annually as much wood as is used, on
the several plantations.
Tree planting is a good investment
one of which the returns can be
measured directly in dollars and cents
One of the best things about tree
planting is that in this way there can
be utilized land fit for no other pur
pose. For windbreaks near the sea
ironwood has shown itself the tree
to be used. For quick returns in
fuel and wood production one of the
eucalyptus is usually the species to
be recommended In this connection
l would remind the members of this
association that a few months since
the Division of Forestry issued a bull
letin on Eucalyptus culture in Hawaii
by Mr.. Louis Margolin of the Il. S
Forest Service, Mr. Margolin having
been detailed to Hawaii upon special
request to assist in this study. The
Bulletin is based on a careful investi
CATION of all the available sources oil

waii. The Division of Forestry viii
be glad to send copies to anyone upor
application. 1t will repay all planta
ton men to give this report careful
reading.
In Hawaii it is impossible for any
one who has to do with the manage
ment of affairs not to be concerned
with what has come to be termed the
conservation program-the right use
of lands, waters and forests. But as
the whole conservation movement
grew out of forestry, which must al
ways remain one of it's most impor
tant parts, so locally there is at the
present time no way in which con
servation can be practised better thar
through forest work. My final WORD
is that for the sugar companies this
means protecting the native forests
and planting trees.

disclose a purpose to restrain trade
and to establish a monopoly and vio-
late the act"
1t was such method of doing bus
mess that the United States Supreme
Court reprehended in the cases Of the
Tobacco trust and the Standard Oil
Company and ordered discontinued.
The government claims that in de-
gree the steel trust is guilty of some
of the same practices.
President Taft's Plan.
President Tafts proposed plan by
which great business could be carried
on, awaiting itself of modern methods
and still not be inimical to the public
interest, was the enactment of fed
eral Incorporation law
q therefore recommended" he said,
the enactment by Congress of gen
eral law providing for the formation
of corporations to engage in trade and
commerce among the states and with
foreign nations, protecting them from
undue interference by the states and
regulating their activities so as to pre-
vent the recurrence, under national
auspices, of those abuses which have
arisen under state control. Such a
law should provide for the issue of
stock of such corporations to an
amount equal only to the cash paid in
on the stock; and if the stock be is
sued for property, then at a fair yalua-
ton, ascertained under approval and
supervision of federal authority after
full and complete disclosure Of all
the facts pertaining to the value of
such property and the interest there
in of the persons to whom it is pro
posed to issue stock in payment of
such property.
Corporations organized under this
act should be prohibited from acquir-
ing and holding stock in other cor
porations Except for special reasons
upon approval by the proper federal
authority, thus avoiding the creation,
under national auspices, of the hold
ing company with subordinate corpor-
atoms in different states, which has
been such an effective agency in the
creation of the great trusts and mo-
nopolies
State Laws Too Conflicting.
"If the prohibition of the antitrust
act against combinations in restraint
of trade is to be effectively enforced
it is essential that the national gov
eminent shall provide for the creation
of national corporations to carry on a
/ legitimate business throughout the
UNITED States. The conflicting laws
of the different states of the Union
with respect to foreign corporations
make it difficult, if not impossible,
for one corporation to comply with
their requirements so as to carry on
business in a number of different
states"
A bill was drawn by the Attorney
General to carry out this recon-
mendation and introduced in Con
gress, but no action was taken on it.
President Taft will renew his recon-
mendations to the Congress at the
coming session.
Col Roosevelt's present protest
against Chaotic conditions" was thus
forestalled by the President. 1t is
suggested that the only new element
in Col. ROosevelt's pronouncement is
his own defense of his action in the
Tennessee Coal and Iron deal and his
demand that the government appeal
from the courts settlement of the to.
bacco trust case.

BANKERS CONVICTED.

The long drawn out ease OF
VIM. F. Kettenbach and George
II. Kester, former president and
cashier of the Lewiston Nation
al bank, terminated at Boise this
week in the conviction of the two
defendants on five counts charg-
ing them with falsifying the re-
ports to the comptroller of the
currency of the United States,
and Judge Robert s. Bean, the
presiding judge, passed sentence
of five years in the U. S. prison
at Leavenworth, Kansas, for each
count in the indictment.
Motion for a new trial was over
ruled and the bond of the defend
ants was fixed at $25, 900, giving
them ten days in which to raise
it. Notification of appeal to the
higher court was given.
1t was most touching scene
when sentence was passed, even
the judge, it is said, being affect
ed. The sentence was the mini
num-
