the state so well taken care Of that
the result IS going to be a big surprise
to the democrats and bull noosers

He says that the county has been una

Improvement The bond market is not
active according t. Schaaf and ii has
been impossible to dispose Of the bonds.
The contractors who have the jobs
on hand are exceedingly anxious Is
get the work done, but they are unwill-

they do not have the financial backing
to take up the bonds and turn them
over themselves
The numerous delays that have re-

The following interview with the /

old, the copy being clipping from a
Boston paper As frog farming has
been Hilo industry for some years,
the article has been handed to the
Star as possessing some contempor-
AIRY local interest. John W. Thomp-
son is the speaker, who has been mod
eler of fishes at Bishop Museum many

be bestowed upon the stock, and suit
able food provided. Altogether it is
not much of get-rich.Quick scheme.
There is another point against the
frog farm scheme" said the snake
man. They say that the fence
around the ponds should be built
close up TO the water to prevent birds
from settling on the banks to feast on
tadpoes and little frogs. That is ri
diculous If | were to start a frog
farm | would put up my fence some
distance away from the water ano
plant bushes in the intervening space
for the very purpose of encouraging
birds to come there. Birds don't eat
little frogs, but big frogs do feed ON
birds why, here at the Zoo | had a
frog that would take four sparrows
at one meal He jumped like a flash
when they were put in his cage, and
he never missed them. Every bird
that the frogs would catch in the
bushes would mean so much less food
tc be bought. For the same reason
would put rats inside of the fences on
nv frog farm and have things so ar
ranged that they could nest there
, Everybody knows that rats breed rap
idly. They raise three or four crops
of young ones in a season. These lit
tie fellows when old enough to leave
their mothers would run down to the
water to drink Snap! The frogs
would get them. With birds, rats and
insects all serving as food the prob
lem of making a frog farm pay would
be easier than the way that has beer
