The Territorial Library Association

Hawaii is going to have a revival of
the kukui nut industry, dormant for
a generation or more, if the efforts of
DR.. E. V. Wilcox, director of the Fed
eral experiment station, to that end
succeed. He is working on the prob
lem Of what percentage of oil can be
extracted from the nut, and what the
cost of gathering and manufacturing
will be. Kukui nut oil is valuable for
paint mixing, being better than the
best linseed and worth a dollar gal
Ion. Customs records of the fifties
show an annual export of the oil as
high as ten thousand gallons. Lately
the utilization of the algaroba bean in
the commercial manufacture of feed
stuff has been added 20 local indus
tries, making a fine source of income
to many young and old people in
gathering the beans. Two factories
working different processes of reduc.
ton of the beans are in operation in
Honolulu.

There is certain man who
poses a good citizen. He breaks
no laws, lives morally, pays his
honest debts and is never tangled
(up in lawsuits. But he lives of
himself, by himself, and for him
self only. When a call is issued
for volunteers to take hold of the
car of progress and give lift,
be never answers. When calam-
lty has befallen people in a GER
tain locality, and charitable hui
manity flies to their rescue, he.Is
never one of the number. When
money is needed to guild the
spire of public enterprise, his
name is never on the list. When
he sees some neighbor stuck in
the mrd. he goes around to avoid
him. In fact, were he standing
on the shore, and should observe
the Ship of State fast sinking in
the surf, never a lifeline would
he throw. He didn't bore the
hole in the side of the vessel that
let's in the water, so it's none of
his concern what happens.
Were all mankind made of this
kind of clay, have you ever
thought what would happen?
There would be no churches, no
hospitals, no institutions for the
unfortunates, no orphans homes,
no rest-rooms for the weary.
Civilization would roam IN jun
giles, ank the strongest would
rule.
He is not a good citizen--but
gets mad if YOU say so.

Confetti. ~
There has often arisen much dis
cussion as to the why" of throwing
confetti. This custom is an ancient
one and is the outgrowth Of the throw
ing Of rose petals in the Latin coun-
tries where the Mardi Gras original
ed Both the New Orleans and
Mobile Carnivals have done away
with the throwing of this feathery
paper, but the Pensacola Mardi Gras
still retains 1t. This method OF fun
and Misunderstanding is pleasing to
both the old and young alike. II,
however, one does not care to enter
into this part Of the Mardi Gras they
do not have to do SO. as the confetti
throwers sort Of throw among them
selves and do not attempt to modest
others not in the game. Tons upon
tons of confetti are hauled off the
streets of Pensacola every year after

Got Their Dose

A good, sensible fellow, in dis
GUESSING the best story in the BIZ
Bile, says in an exchange: 1T
may surprise you, but it is about
Noah and the food. We say this
IN the face of educated folks who
turn up their noses and declare
this story a fake. Yon know
Noah had to work a long time on
that ark. 1t was uphill business,
too, at best, to go on tolling and
sweating, day after day in the
hot sun, building boat away out
on dry land, while the local anvil
and hammer. club sat around,
splitting tobacco juice upon his
lumber, whiting up his pine
boards with their jack-knives,
and telling him what a fool he
was to be expecting a big rain in
a country too hot to grow alfalfa.
But he kept at it. Finally the
food came and every mothers
son of the croakers was drown
ed. This is the only instance we
know of IN either sacred or pro-
fame history, where a bunch of
knockers got what was due them.
