Crops that Pay Best.

One Of the most encouraging
phases OF agriculture in Lee County
this year is the constant trend
among the farmers of the county
to raise hay, corn and pork in-
stead OF cllnging entirely to cotton.
The boil weeyil is sure to strike
Lee county soon, and the farmer
who continues to grow cotton only
will suffer from it.
Messrs. Roscoe and j. s. Math-
ews are two Of Lee county's most
cnterprising young farmers who
have adopted the hog, hominy and
hay plans Of farming, and they are
making a great success OF IT..
Though cotton is selling at an UNI
usually high price this year, they
are not worrying about having only
q small crop.
The demand for pork at this
time makes them independent OF a
cotton crop, while the large de-
mand that is sure to come for hay
will give them the best returns al
ter Christmas. This is safe and
sane farming, and more Lee county
farmers should adopt this method

The First Fire.

The glow and warmth of an open
crate with its hearthstone and
family circle is one Of the most
pleasing and cheerful events Of the
fall and winter season, especially if
the fire is the FIRST fire Of the season
on an October evening. The first
fire that christens the CRATE for the
winter has all the romance Of half
forgotten dreams and cherished
memories bound within its mellow
glow, for never does winter return
without throwing ones soul back
upon itself in meditation.
Life looms up in vast panora-
ma, as the mind revolyes the events
of the past and looks forward with
anticipation, sometimes joyously,
sometimes pensively, while the fire
radiates genial warmth and a lively.
blaze. or the last embers die away
in a faint glow that peoples the cell
ing and the walls with host Of
strange shapes, as one leans back
in q comfortable chair, with the
light burning low, or lies awake a
wee bit after going to bed. Surely
the fire is a friend, almost human
in its cheerfulness and optimism
when it blazes aloft, or significant
OF the passing If all things when it,
crumbles away into ashes. 1t is
the same fire that Prometheus
snatched from Olympus and brought
down to earth to cheer the soul Of
man.
The Romans worshipped the
Lares and Penates, the gods Of the
hearthstone, as they called them.
The heart Of Roman life pulsed with
rich, vigorous enthusiasm and
wholesome enjoyment of things as
long as Roman citizens remained
true TO their homes. But the cata-
clysm befell when Rome forsook the
virtues of the home for luxury and
magnifcence. The American peo-
pie are fast losing the cheerful CRATE,
and the family circle about the
hearthstone is but a dim memory
to many. May it not be that the
American people are following in
the path Of Roman decadence and
folly. One may breathe with re-
verence the words of Burns:
Princes and lords are but the
breath Of kipgs,
An honest man. the noblest work
of God;
And eertes, in fair virtues hea-
venly road,
The cottage leaves the palace far
behind"

connection with the effort that is
being made here by the faculty OF
the local schools to secure a library

The interest manifested in edu-

been exceptional. 1t has been
such as to make every resident OF the
town and this immediate section
wish that the revival of interest in
education here may be permanent;
that it may reach to every home
and exert a vital and bene6cient
influence upon the future of Lee
county. Surely the effort to Sc
cure a library for the local schools
is a worthy movement. 1t should
enlist the sympathy Of every pa

If reading good books means {

| NO EFFORT is MADE
TO RETURN MEDEIROS

Joseph j. Medeiros, indicted for
ENLIGHTENMENT by the territorial grand
jury on Wednesday afternoon, has
probably made good his escape from
the territory 1t is accepted as fact
now that he departed Tuesday even
ing on the Lurline for San Francisco,
travelling under an assumed name,
and it is quite as generally conceded
that neither state nor federal officials
will detain him on his arrival at the
coast city.
Though he has left a wife and nine
children in destitute circumstances
and if returned could be made 10
face a charge of wife desertion as
we'll as embeZzlement, no application
had been made to Encouragement
Thayer up to noon today for extradi-
ton papers, and this makes it certain
the next boat from this. point to the
mainland, the Ventura, will not carry
the documents which might, with
Mott-Smith's signature, cause the
mans return to Honolulu.
Whether either Mott-Smith, at Los
Angeles or Governor Frear. at Wash
ington. d. G., now possesses the auth
ority to sign exlradition papers is a
mooted question. q. s. District At
torney Breckons made it clear today
that the federal authorities cannot
act in the matter. He says the fact
that Medeiros left here under an as
sumed name and is a naturaliZed citi-
zen does not affect his status with
the federal government. His natural
ization papers will not be called for
and he will not be questioned by the
immigration officials, for he has as
much right to go to the mainland
from Hawaii as does an Englishman,
German. Swede or member of any
other branch of the white race. 1t
is only the Oriental whose right to
land there is questioned.
There is just one thing which, if.
evidence were produced, would enable
the federal officials to step in and
take hand. That would be viola
ton of the Edmunds Act; if it could
be shown the man would be brought
back without further ado, but Brec-
kons says that from what he has been
told by Attorney James Coke, Me-
deiros' counsel, no evidence of this
kind can be found.
