HAS SURPRISE
UP SLEEVE ..

Supervisor Eben Low still has an
ace to play in his little game with
Supervisor Harry Murray, 1t was
learned this morning.
Supervisor Murray INDUCED in sun
dry remarks last Monday night, when,
al the board meeting, he produced fig
ures as TO the uneXpended balance in
the municipal treasury, declaring
with considerable. emphasis that Su,
pefyisof Low, chairman of the ways
and means committee, had been talk.

TO the effect that the city is about
broke, for his month. H.
Murray had collected his figures

iy to learn that while he, too. had col
5ected figures from the auditors of
lice, his figures did not at all agree
with those set forth by Mr.. Murray
With battle in his eye, therefore,
the supervisor from Manoa went out
on the trail OF the real facts about
the city treasury. He went through
The auditors office with a noise like

cred and dusty precincts or the tax
office. and ended long days work
with certain results over which he
was able to indulge a inachiaVellian
smile OF satisfaction this morning.
Briefly speaking, the supervisor
from the third promises that when
he springs his figures on the board.
he will produce a sensation twice as
large as. Murray's. Incidentally. he
declares that there has been some
loose work in the auditors office.

Mr.. Low said this morning that

commented.

Old Question
Up Again In
Monoa Valley
What's in a name.

What's in a name.
A good deal, If YOU happen to live
up In Manoa, and the name is the
name OF street.
Hence the special meeting of the
Manoa Improvement Club called for
tonight at 1:30 o'clock at the Manoa
Tennis Club grounds.
AS nearly as can be gathered from
the accounts Of enthusiastic citizens
living in the valley, the imbroglio, as
the war correspondents call it, came
about when some Manoa residents OBJ
jected to the remaining Of Punahou
street and Manoa road. The improve
ment club some weeks ago secured
permission to rename the streets &C
cording to wishes of residents of the
section, and the name of the upper
part of Punahou street was changed
SO that the full length of this thor
oughfare from King street up is now
Punahou. Upper and Lower Manoa
roads were also changed to Manoa
avenue.
The signs. bright and new and con.
spicuous, were put UP before the oppo-
sition began to sit up and take notice.
Now the said opposition has crystal
lied into move to do some more
changing, and the special meeting is
called tonight to talk the matter over
in a neighborly fashion. Club men,
bers are asked to leave their guns at
home. 81. ~

The case now being heard is one Of
the worst of its kind, according to the
evidence of the prosecution. AL
though the defendant can be tried on
only one charge at time, it is alleg-

about the same age, and that his crime
against them had been committed not

The two children had gone to his
little shop, on Liliha street, where, by
giving them small coins, the defend
ant is said to have induced them to
submit to his atrocities. Because they
wanted the money to spend, they re-
turned time after time 10 his place.
Both the child who appears as prose-

and her companion on the visits to
the Chinese store, were present this
morning, as was also DR.. Sinclair, to

MILK HOUSE,
CRv + e. BRIDGMAD.


While it sounds strange, it is true
that many farmers who are making
the larger portion of their yearly in
come from milk have no milk house.
They have a calf shed, implement
house, barn, corn crib, granary, etc.,
all built for the purpose Of caring for
and protecting the various products
or tools used on the farm, but they
have never thought it necessary to
build a milk house. Many model
housekeepers are compelled to keep
milk in unsanitary rooms, such as
some outbuilding, the cellar, kitchen,
or other general purpose room for the
reason that there Is no milk house.
Milk should be kept in room used
for no other purpose. and in some
states an attempt has been made to
pass laws governing the keeping of
milk on the farm, that is, milk that is
sold or used for any purpose except
on the farm. The small milk house
here shown will certainly cost several
dollars, but is it not worth it? The
structure should, of course, be built of
cement, but build it of brick, stone,
or even wood If you cannot build it
of cement. The idea is simply a sug-
gestion. The screened-in porch for
workroom would come in mighty han

DIVERSITY In FARMING
One Crop System Fails to Bring
Permanent Prosperity.
Not Enough Attention Given to Sys-
ten of Rotation by Average Farm
er-RaIse More Live Stock
to Increase Profit.

That a one-crop system has failed
to bring permanent prosperity to any
considerable area Is verified many
times in the history of agriculture.
However, much has been gained by de-
voting certain limited areas to one
crop production. We believe the
above fact to be true and that enough
attention is not given by the average
farmer to a system of rotation which
is adapted to the soil and climatic
conditions with which he must deal,
says the Gem State Rural Journal.
TIE fact that one locality will produce
fruit successfully has led men to
squander their means In attempting to
grow commend q &C ekards where only
failure can possibly be the reward.
A crop rotation should contain only
such plants and products as are adapt
ed to the soil and climatic conditions,
and have a commercial value either
directly or indirectly. However, it Is
not enough to know that a crop will
grow well and produce abundantly.
This is the chief difficulty now where
there is>a superabundance Of alfalfa
produced with not enough foresight
given to the disposition Of the crop
after it Is grown and made into hay.
Too many trust to an uncertain mar
ket for the raw product, and give too
| little attention to the conversion of the
raw material into the finished article.
Every rational system Of diversified
farming must embrace the growing OF
animals and the manufacture OF AMI
NAL products either on the farm or in
the large central plants. To grow
more animals successfully a wider
range of farm crops is necessary.
More grain and cultivated crops should
be grown to combine with the staple
hay and pasture crops to get the best
results, and reap the largest returns
for labor and capital invested Many
of the old alfalfa meadows should be
plowed up and put to growing other
| crops for a term of years; and the
newer and the old worn-out lands
would be much benefited by seeding
to alfalfa. Oats and barley produce
abundantly and wheat as well, after
the alfalfa. All kinds of hoed crops
do WELL including the potato and root
crops In growing a young orchard
1t does not hurt to plant some hoec
crop between the trees, such as corn
potatoes or beans. This is putting
into practice the theory Of rotation
AS the trees grow into bearing the
space between the trees can be seed
ed to clover for time to advantage
thua carrying still further the ides
of growing a variety OF crops on thu
land. But above all things see to i
that more live stock is produced tt
consume the surplus and the waste
material which is found on every
farm, and which should contribute tt
the net income of that farm.

1OP CRUELTY TO TRUNKS
lroad Brings Millennium Nearer by
Implying Cushion Upon Which
Baggage May Drop PainIessly.

WIBy devising a cushion upon which
w. nks may be dropped painlessly, the
Cumberland railway in Pennsylvania
almost persuades us that the millen-
mum is at hand.
Thousands of summer tourists who
effectionately kiss their trunks good
by after strapping and roping them in
eighteen directions will offer up a
prayer that the Cumberland railways
plan may be universally adopted be-
fore another year rolls around.
The new cushion for the prevention
of cruelty to baggage is made OF
pieces of airbrake hose mounted on
ash strips. This mat can be dragged
wherever a car Is to be unloaded and
affords soft lighting place for the
precious trunk stuffed with milady's
finery.
If some kind genius will only devise
a neumatic-cushioned truck upon
which baggage can be loaded and will
provide pads to be placed between the
trunks when they are piled high as
the tower of Babel In transfer stations
great strain will be taken of the
nerves of travellers.
Baggage-smashing is the most cruel
Of trades. The butcher isn't half as
brutal in his methods as the baggage
man. Here's success to the Cumber
land railway official who is trying to
save passengers from the awful
sounds which the baggage hustlers
produce every time a carload OF
trunks is turned over to them.

the matter OF hydroaeroplanes. so

While experiments were conducted IN
Europe since 1905 only one machine

inventor. After 27 years OF expert

SET PLANTS IN MIDSUMMER
Henry JeroIaman, Strawberry King,
Tells Of Methods Employed to Get
5000 Quarts to Acre.

In the famous strawberry section
about Hilton, N. J., many growers set
out new beds the last of July or early
August, says the Agricultural. Beds
thus set are fruited the following
year.
Immediately after the crop is ,har-
vested. which usually ends about the
first week in July, the strawberry
mulch is raked off and the soil worked
with hoe or rake. Runners for new
plants are put out and layered in the
usual way. AS soon as they are
large enough they are set out in the
new beds.
The strawberry king, Henry Jerola-
man, says: The strawberry is Wig
orous feeder, and should have plenty
of plant food when it needs It most.

Worth of a Hen.

France classes the worth of a hen
more for the production of meat and
eggs than she does for the fine feath-
ers or standard looks Some years ago
the poultrymen aimed for show rec.
ords. and while they no doubt gained
their point, they at the same time
ruined the stamina and thrift OF the
hen for commercial PURPOSES. Today
It is different. Utility has taken a
front seat and all breeds are bred up
to conform with the ideas Of the mar
ket poultryman.

The machine fortunately did not hit a
ferryboat and consequently there was
only the loss of camera.
1t was while making these fights
that Coffyn demonstrated the feasibil-
Iity OF communicating with ships in
case OF emergency. He Few down thel|

out the slightest dificulty. Coffyn aft
erward said he could have caught the
boat 30 miles outside New York just
as easily.
1t would also seem that the water
machine would be valuable for life
saving purposes along the coast. Dur
ing the Chicago aviation meet last
August an aviator lost control while
flying and was pitched into the water.

Hugh Robinson was performing circles

low flim in distress, be flew to the res

spot, landed on the water alongside the
submerged aeroplane and offered to
| give the plot lift All this in less
than one minute.
On another occasion Naval Aviator
Herbster while carrying passenger
over San Diego Bay had some mis-
hap in alighting and turned over. This
was about half mile from the shore.
Long before motor boats could reach
the spot Harry Atwood had launched
/ his machine from the beach and in
/ less than a minute was to the rescue
of Mr.. Herbster and his passenger.
Neither was hurt, and both preferred
to stay by their machine, which was

Jumps Rails, Then Returns.

A remarkable railway accident oc-
Cured recently on the Nickel Plate
system. near McComb, o. During the
night a car in the westbound freight
train jumped the track, was pulled
along for a quarter Of a mile. and
then. on reaching a road crossing
took to the rails again in some unac-
countable manner. All this occurred
without the knowledge of the train
men. and was not discovered until
next day. All the bolts in the splice
bars connecting the rails were cut by
the wheels of the car for the entire
distance and one rail was broken.
