A LADY TALKS
SENSE OF HAWAII

Nashua I'll. H. Telegraph February
! l. "A "trip to Hawaii was the sub
iect of a very interesting and instruc-
tive lecture given in the First Univer-
salist church Wednesday evening by
Miss Alice Parmele of New York. I'M
der the auspices of the Sunday School
Teachers union. There was a good
number present to listen to the speak
Ter. The lecture was well illustrated
with many beautiful stereopticon
views.
The trip described was that taken
some years ago by Miss Parmele and
she was able to describe the differ.
ent views in a very vivid manner. She
also gave excellent descriptions of the
country and related many anecdotes
which made the lecture doubly inter
esting.
The trip started from San Francisco
across to the Sandwich Island group,
and map of the group was thrown
on the screen. The first point stopped
at was the city of Honolulu and a
number of views of public buildings,
street scenes, trees, foliage and many
other beautiful things connected with
the city were shown. One picture was
of a beautiful Towering tree which
abounds in that section of the country
and helps to beautify the land In
the city is an old church, and of this
{ picture is shown. The church was
the first one built in the city and was
constructed of coral ground up to
mortar
In explaining the makeup of the
country Miss Parmele explained that
the entire group of islands is not
larger than the state of Massachusetts.
Pictures of the mountains were shown
and Miss Parmele des cribed her trip
up one of the mountains to a height
of 10000 feet. She showed the vol
cGnic nature of the country and the
craters of extinct volcanoes as well
as some of those with the lava forma
ton clearly shown.
Several pictures of the natives ant
the children we're shown and she gave
many interesting descriptions of III,
people. She explained that the PEG
pie are naturally musical and pictures
were shown of the various musical in
strumets on which they play.
In speaking of the religious side o.
the Hawaiian life, she said that al
= though many considered the people Of
, the islands as sort of canibals, this
was not the case. She said that they
naturally were religious and that they
, accepted Christianity readily. AT pres
, ent there are more Budhists in the
islands than any other religion.
The last picture shown was a beau

PURE FOOD ACT
HELPS INDUSTRY

An unexpected tribute to the pure
food act is contained in the annual
report of the American Can Company
which was made public this week
The management OF that organization
in commenting upon the improvement
shown in it's earnings during 1911.
takes occasion to say that the lessen
ing prejudice against canned food is
largely due to the enforcement of the
measure in question and the proven
ton of the sale of articles improperly
packed. What it terms augmented
confidence on the part of consumers
has brought recognition of the health
full quality of such goods, which, com
bined with their relative cheapness,
has materially increased the sales OF
packers cans manufactured by the
company. The results are displayed
in the earnings for the past twelve
months of $5,416,339, an increase over
the figures of the preceding year OF
$1,959,8O2. The company allowed OUT
of its earnings no less than S2,500,00C
for depreciation, or $l,S66,436 more
for that item than in 1910, but, not
withstanding this, the surplus for the
year was $2,916,339, an increase d
$9S, 1856. The report states that the
company has replaced two of its ole
plants with new and more commo
dious factories and that an extension
of its establishments on the Pacific
coast and elsewhere is contemplated
For such reasons it is urged that ;
conservative course in respect to div
idend payments is advisable, despit,

Dear Mr.. Watson: I have been

when he was fat on the best prey

You have attacked him at time
when a few only of your men are

WANTS AN ANNUAL THOMSON
CAMP-NfEETING

My Dear Mr.. Watson: / see from
editorial that you were over at
Crawfordville on the 4th of July. I
did not suppose that you were hay
ing the 4th of July House Warm
Ing" again this year. 1 have been
wanting to suggest the following for
sometime on this propc sition, to-wit,
That the house warming day at
Thomson on the 9Th of July as you
had last year be converted to a
House Warming Camp Meeting for
Thomson each year, and that it oc-
cupy not less than or 10 days, to
begin say on Friday and to run
through two Sundays, and that this
be time when the purposes of this
government shall be reviewed by a
number Of orators not exceeding
say three each day.
This meeting should be held at
Thomson, Ca, each year in the
month of August Or just after the
people are done laying by their
crops, and when all who wish to
can attend. 1t would not be long
before we could build something
under with to hold the meeting
similar to the old camp meeting
tabernacle. We can do this by next
year and the meeting should be con-
Quoted similarly to the Indian
Springs Camp Meeting, so far as
those who attend are concerned and
all could furnish from their own
wagons their meals and their cook
md
week and hear great patriotic
speeches from those who have pre-
Viously been assigned places on the
programme on some specific cues
ton.
For instance we would assign for
Jacob S. Coxey day on the none
tary question. To yourself, the
Tariff question, and by publishing
this programme weeks in advance
we could see it and attend that day
to get just what we wanted instruc-
tion on. We could worship in the
open for the present and / see no
reason why we cannot have this
meeting this year by starting NOW.
At it's sessions, best stenographers
should be engaged and the Jeffer-
sonian Publishing Co., could have
these speeches printed in volumn
and sell them like ''Hot Cake"
And thus, thousands of people could
be teached by these discussions on
the National abusing the
national evils and offering remedy
for such legislation as would be
needed
What say you to these sugges-
tions? The one day as you had in
1911, is too expensive a trip for the
average attendant just for one days
stay.
Very truly,

ANOTHER BRAVE PREACHER
SPEAKS OUT.

Dear Brother: For some time
have intended to write you word of
sympathy. Pardon my delay.
For several years I have noticed
a great popularity of your writings.
People who do not like you, and
now and then one who hates you,
become your friends in a short while
after they begin to read your publ
cations.
I can name many such, and can
get affidavits from them that this is
true.
But the one thing that has made
you the greatest number of friends
is your outrageous persecution by
the papycrats.
The Romanists have out-Romed
Rome this time.
1t does seem to me that they
prosecute you for what they have
been doing for forty years. Could
they not see the advertisement it
would give you, and the benefit it
would give the Protestants?
But so it is, God will sometimes
let the Devil have rope enough to
hang himself.
| dare them to give me the adj
vertisement they have given you! [
would take the stump and shell the
woods with 'em.
The whole thing-their audacity
is unspeakably disgusting But
the most disgusting of it all, is the
Indifference Of Protestant and Bap-
fist ministers, and the cowardice of
religious papers. The lay members
of the different churches ought to
make such howl for expression as
to give the preachers and religious
editors no rest day nor night.
And every subscriber of yours
ought to give you his aid by secur-
ing you another subscriber.

KANSAS FARM
WORK STOPPED
Number of Horses Killed by
Plague Makes Farm
Work Impossible.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. 9.-Farm work
is going undone in western Kansas
for lack of horses killed by the
plague. Crops remain ungathered
and fall blowing is weeks behind. On
many farms all the horses have died.
Until experts ascertain positively a
remedy for the disease. the farmer
Is unwilling to purchase mor horses.
The disease is rapidly spreading
eastward. according to reports re-
ceived by ]. H. Mercer. state live
stock sanitary inspector.
Mr.. Mercer has e m out warning
that horses all over the state should
be kept off pastures and given no wa
ter except from wells. The streams
and ponds are said by experts to
swarm with diplicocci. which cause
meningitis.
The Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad took a hand in the fight on
the disease, when it's officials sent two
trained evterinarians TO the plague
stricken district. All agents Of the
company in Kansas we're instructed
to report or the number Of horses
that have died Of the plague in their
district and whether the horse was
kept off the pastur, before taking
sick. The information, experts say,
will be a great aid in determining
the exact nature of the malady.
