fact that they have secured success
in the growing OF almost every crop
known to the state and have been
able to excel even the landowners of
the south in the growing OF fruits and
vegetables. They have endeavored to
obtain new crops and have succeeded
in one particular instance far beyond
even their own expectation.
This is in the growing Of rice in the
adobe land sections of the northern
portions of the river valleys. The
crops obtained show that this crop
can be made to pay fabulously on the
lands and that it will become one OF
the most valuable food crops of the
state not only in utility but in revenue

great success and that wealth will

AMERICAN SCOUTS, WORK.

Inc Boy Scouts of America are
learning a universal sign language
and, therefore, are developing the
real Esperanto Under the guidance
of Ernest Thompson Seton, Chief
Scout, the boys are learning the signs
OF communication not only between
the boys of this country but also be.
tween the boys of every other nation
Inc plan now being developed means
that eventually the boys of all ma
lions will have a common language
and that they will be drawn more
closely together. Such binding of the
boys of the different nations together.
1t is asserted by the leaders of the
Boy Scout movement, will tend
greatly toward the promotion of uni
versal peace.
B Inc sign language is simple. 1t is
common to all nations. 1t perbaps
was developed long before the art of
speaking. 1t is natural to use yes
lures and signs to emphasize ones
ideas in speaking. These gestures
may express entire sentences. For in
stance, the traffic patrolmen in
crowded thoroughfares in New York
use the sign language. They are on
duty all day directing the traffic of
thousands of vehicles, and perhaps
never speak one word.
Many Sign LANGUAGES.
Baseball players have a sign Ian
guage. Every sport has given rise to
certain gestures or signs that are
perfectly natural and are understood
easily by persons not versed in that
special activity. Children and grown.
ups use gestures and, therefore signs,
lnstinctiyely. More than 100 signs
are used by the children in the pub.
TIC schools There are 5000 signs
that students of the language have
picked up. A person can communicate

IMPROVING
BOYS SCHOOL

The department of public works is
going ahead rapidly with plans and
specifications for the extension and
improvement of the boys industrial
school at Waialee for which the sum
OF 100000 was appropriated by the
last legislature.
A rock-crusher will be installed at
the school and the boys will operate
the crusher and prepare rock for the
concrete work.
This will mean a material saving
with the natural result that a much
larger and better building will be
erected.

GOOD REPORT FROM BOYS WHO
ARE IN CAMP ON MOLOKAI

The Public Service Association has
received the first report from Camp
Wilder. The boys have. arrived safe
ly and are in camp on Mr.. Conrad's
ranch. Mr.. Conrad gave the boys
royal welcome and has made them
thoroughly comfortable.
Speaking of the camp, Mr.. Charles
n. Fits, one of the managers, writes:
MY fingers are stiff from camp
ropes, etc, but l want to send you
line or two to let you know that we
are settled in camp and getting on
first rate
Can not say enough good things
about the kindness shown us by the
Conrads. The morning we arrived,
after rough passage, Mr.. Conrad
was at the wharf to meet us. Had a
hot breakfast waiting, and worked
with us the better part of two days
While we were getting everything
ship-shape.
Having Good Times.
The boys are all well and have
been on the go every minute nearly.
The camp location is good, with mag
nificent view of mountains, ocean,
and neighboring islands. You knew
your spot well. We have good water
in abundance.
Have had no difficulty in getting
provisions. Boys have appetites that
make you smile.
Besides camp routine, we have ex-
plored Mapulehu Valley quite well
already; have made the trip to Kilo-
hama Pass for the view of the ocean
on the other side; have measured
and photographed the large heiau on
the Conrad place and have played
games and swan in the ocean and
mountain pools to our hearts con-
tent.
"The boys have been well and al
| though few in number, there has been
no difficulty so far in finding more
than enough for them to do
Other Camps Planned.
The educational committee of the
Civic Federation is so well pleased
with the beginning of the boy camp
idea that it has decided to not only
make the camp annual, but to ar
range every year to have a certain
number of boys come down from the
Coast to join the camp in Hawaii.
Plans will be begun at once for next
years camp and it is believed that
many youngsters from the Coast will
be sent to Hawaii to spend the sum
mer at Camp Wilder.
While the camp is in no way a
boys scout camp, it is run under the
rules Of the boy scouts, and Mr.
James P. Wilder is now at the camp
teaching the boys the games of the
scouts.

Kitchener Praises Scouts.

Lord Kitchener, the greatest soldier
of England, believes in the Boy
Scouts. He has watched them drill
and has written a letter praising
them. A striking thing is, however,
that though Lord Kitchener is a sol
der, he lays chief stress on the de.
velopment of character and physical
and mental alertness and makes no
suggestion of militarism. He writes
to the boys as follows:
THE more l know of the scout
organization the more admirable
think it is, and the more fully per
suaded | am that it should appeal
strongly to every father and mother
who desires to bring up their sons
well. 1t breaks down class prejudice,
promotes comradeship, discipline, re-
sourcefulness, self-reliance and sym
pathy. Its ideals are the highest
! Christianity and patriotism, and later,
when these scouts are grown up, what
better title can they each aspire to
than to be known as true man and
pure patriot? And that is what they
are all now learning to become.
you Scoutmasters who nave gone
through the hard work of making
this movement so successful, must
be well pleased with the result of
your labor when you see these smart
lads around you, and consider their
ever-increasing numbers, and their
improved moral and mental, and phys
ical condition, and you, Scouts,
feel sure, already realize the benefits
you have received by being members
of this national association.
There is one thought l would like
to impress upon you-once a Scout

ing adequately to persons of different
nations, such as Russia, China and
India without speaking a word"
Chief Scout Seton points out that
the use of the sign language makes
person more observant, and that OBJ
serving persons use it. The sign Ian
guage may be used in signalling. 1t
may be employed in places such as
hospitals, where persons may not be
permitted to speak 1t is used in
places where the noise is so great
that the voice cannot be heard, or
perhaps in speaking to one another
across a room. It's use is so greatly
recognized that it is being developed
in the army and many other places
Chief Scout Seton has prepared a
dictionary Of signs, with illustrations
which will soon be ready not only for
the use of the scouts, but for all per.
sons who are interested in learning
the sign language. Every person
uses signs says Chief Scout Seton.
but the Boy Scouts in developing it
are spreading it throughout the en-.
tire world, and are putting into prac-
tice the real Esperanto language.
They will naturally come in closer
contact with one another, and will be
united in a universal brotherhood.
What can be more helpful in the pro-
motion of universal peace? l hope
every Boy Scout will study sign Ian

The Farmer and the Newspaper.

Many men think that newspaper men
are persistent DINNERS. By way of
comparison let us suppose that a farm
er raises 1000 bushels of wheat a year
and sells this to 1000 persons in all
parts of the country. a great portion of
them saying, Il will hand you dollar
in a short time. The farmer does
not want to be small, and says all
right. Soon the 1000 bushels are
gone, but he has nothing to show for
it, and then he realizes he has fooled
away his whole crop and its value to
him is due In a thousand little driblets,
consequently he is seriously embarrass-
ed in his business, because his debtors,
each owing him dollar, treat it as a
small matter and think it would not
help much. Continue this kind Of bust
ness year in and year out, as the pub
Usher does, how long would he stand
it? A moments thought will convince
anyone that a publisher has cause for
persistent dunning.

THIS is AGE OF CONCRETE
Improvements in Our Large
Cities.

Park pavilions and other structures
for gardens, cemeteries and country
places, especially such works as open
colonnades, pergolas and peristyles,
and shelter-hous are often made OF
some form of concrete. Probably the
most extensive use is made OF this
material in the South Park system of
Chicago, where the large field houses
in the dozen or more small parks are
made of monolithic concrete that
blends well with the landscape. In
Washington Park in this system there
is also a boathou4e of granite con-
crete" a reddish combination made by
the park engineer.
A very handsome structure of this
class from an architectural standpoint,
is the City Park pavilion in New Or
leans, made of artificial stone. 1t
takes the form OF a peristyle of the
Roman Doric order, placed in an i'm
posing site overlooking the lake from
which landing can be made by flights
of steps at either end. The structure
is 50x160 feet.

SHOW MAINE WRECK MODEL
Permanent Exhibit at Navy Yard or
National Museum Planned.

A model Of the wreck of the battle
ship Maine, which has been on exhibit
tion in the Office of Secretary Meyer
since the naval board returned from
Havana, probably will be placed per-
manently either in the naval museum
at the Washington navy yard or at the
National Museum.
Naval officers and many others inter-
ested have visited and examined the
model, and demonstrations of just how
the accident occurred, according to
the theory of the officers who com
posed the board, have been given for
the benefit of many of the naval Off
GERS. Special lectures on the wreck
model were given for President Taft,
Secretary Meyer, the general board of
the navy and the newspaper men.
The model is built of wood, with
blue prints laid on each deck to show
the various sections and part of the
vessel. Each part of the wrecked
section is shown, with each plate and
frame bent as it was found when
uncovered.
