MRS HEADLEE IS
HIGHLY PRAISED

Los Angeles Times: Frances King
Headlee, for the past three years lee.
turer at the Chamber Of Commerce
leaves this week for the Northwest
and the East on a lecture tour ex.
tending over the fall months. She
will return to Los Angeles about the
first of the year to resume her inter
esting lectures on Hawaii Her final
talks on this fascinating island terri.
tory given last week were attended by
large audiences of men and women
who were deeply interested In fact,
this delightful speaker always COM
mands a big audience, many Of whom
come again and again to hear her. Mrs.
Headlee, who has a most attractive
personality, came down here from Ia.
coma four years ago and lectured for
a season at the Chamber of Commerce
on Alaska and the Northwest Real
izing the advantages for publicity
work offered at the chamber in these
daily lectures, she came equipped with
slides and information galore. One
day it CHANGED that the secretary of
the Hawaiian Chamber of Comerce
happened in and heard Mrs. Headlee's
lecture on Alaska. He was so pleased
with her that he engaged her on the
spot to represent Hawaii.
At that time she had never visited
the islands but she loaded up with
information and started in and lee.
tured for a season with as much vim
and earnestness as if she had been
born in Honolulu. The following
summer she visited Hawaii as the
guest of the commercial organiza-
tions of Honolulu and travelled over
the islands for weeks, packing away
information and vivid impressions
enough to formulate on her return
half a dozen splendid lectures on
Hawaii For the past two seasons
she has been delivering this course
of lectures each afternoon of the six
week days-a different lecture for each
day.
One of the pleasing features is the
splendid moving pictures which IL.
lustrate the lectures. They are
superbly colored-and Mrs. Headlee
tells me by the way, that this work
is done by a certain clever Scotch
woman whose artistic ability is un.
rivaled in this particular Her brush

colored fish that swim in the great

and delivered this series Of lectures

Canada down.

ANCIENT AUTHORITIES
ON FARMING

ON FARMING
Present day farmers do not read
Xenophon to any great extent, nor,
for that matter, any of the old CLASH
cal authorities on agriculture-Cato, to
whom Pliny refers as "a man of con-
summate authority on all practical
matters" and deserving of high honor
as the first agriculturist of his time;
Varro, who at the age of so wrote one
of the most complete agricultural
treatises that was ever written, full
of the practical knowledge of a man
who had spent a lifetime in the study
and practice of agriculture; or Virgil,
who, although a man of letters and
the greatest poet of his age, was also
farmer and did not deem agricul-
ture a subject unworthy of the best
efforts of his genius. / fear that the
"up-to-date" farmer. especially if he
have a smattering of the sciences and
can talk with some degree of near
correctness about nitrates and phos-
pilates and bacteria, has little respect
for the classics, and would regard it
as the sheerest waste of time to dig
into the musty pages of these world
old authorities. And yet he might do
so to advantage. Not one farmer in
10000 knows as much about horses as
Xenophon did; and Cato and Varro
could give almost any of them points
worth knowing, and show a greater
intimacy with the subject than they
themselves possess.-David Buffum in
Atlantic Monthly.

JAMES CHAPMAN
DIES IN CHINA

James Sweet Chapman, who had
interests here, died in Annoy, China,
last month. He was brother
of Captain Chapman, a merchant OF
Tahiti, known to many here and a
familiar name in San Francisco bust
ness circles, and he left a wife and
daughter At his death Mr. Chapman
owned considerable property in Ha.
waii in the form Of sugar stocks, his
affairs here being in charge of the
Hawaiian Trust Company, Ltd. He
held a position in the Chinese Gus
toms. A letter has been received by
the company just mentioned from
Charles f. Brissel, formerly of its
Office staff, written at Annoy on Aug
ust 2S, in which some particulars of
Mr.. Chapmans last illness and
funeral are given.
In the latter part of June Mr.. Chap.
man returned to Annoy from Dodd
Island, where he was the lighthouse
keeper, and complained of being
rather sick. About the first Of
August he took a bad turn and
was given up on the fourth. Being
very heavy man, he suffered
much from the difficulty of NOV
ing him in bed. His wife and daugh.
ter were with him all the time, no one
else being allowed by the doctors the
last four weeks to see him. On this
account Mr. Brissel was unable TO
obtain any directions about his af-
fairs, but in former conversations he
had expressed a wish that his deed
of trust should continue, and stated
that he was well pleased with the
management of his property by the
Hawaiian Trust Company Mr.. Bris-
sci understands he had a life insur-
ance policy and says there was a
slight possibility a gratuity from the
customs service accruing to him at
the time of his vacation would be
given to his widow. His only concern
seemed to be that his daughter
should always be we'll cared for. Mr..
Brissel writes in conclusion:
"Mr. Chapman was highly esteemed
out here, among those at the funeral
services being the commissioner Of
customs, most of the indoor staff, in
Guiding the inspector of lights, Mr..
Chapman's direct superior, and nearly
all the outdoor staff in uniform. The
pallbearers were eight of these men
his former associates. The funera,
service was by Rev. Mr.. Pitcher, the
senior American missionary resident
in this port"
The letter refers to Robert w
Cathcart as one likely to know some
thing about Mr.. Chapman Mr.. Cath
cart, on being met by Star reporter,
was surprised to hear of the death
of Mr.. Chapman, as he had been eX
pecting a letter from him. Mr.. Chap
man wrote to him not long ago that
he expected to be here with his wife
and daughter near the end of the
year on his way to Tahiti. His
brother, Captain Chapman of Tahiti
died five years ago the oath of May
last He was partner of the firm
of Turner e Chapman, Papeete, who
had the mail carrying contract be
tween San Francisco and Tahiti fol
about forty years. The father of the
two brothers was the late Benjamin
Franklin Chapman, who left an estate
here of which James, under a trust
deed to the Hawaiian Trust Company
was drawing the income for life.
James S. Chapman, Mr.. Cathcart
says, was in the service of the Chi
nese government for about thirty
years.
