SUGAR LANDS

We have secured options on ap-
proximately fifteen thousand acres of
fine sugar lands in the southern Phil
ippine Islands," declared Charles G.
Bockus, the capitalist, in returning
from an extended business tour to
Uncle Sans Fartherest Possessions.
Il left William p. Roth in the Phil
ippines, where we have purchased out
right several thousand acres of land,
a portion of which is under cultiva-
ton, further stated Mr. Bockls, as
he was leaving the Togo Kisen Kaisha
liner Shinyo Maru this morning.
business is at standstill in the
Philippines. The large monied inter-
ests are marking time until the new
administration at Washington takes
hold of the reins of government, and
some definite action is taken in franz
ing up the future policy for the con-
duct of the Far Eastern insular pos
session
Our options are all in the southern
Philippines, the land being situated
in Negros, now recognized as one of
the highly productive islands in the
group, Much of the property lies near
lloilo, the metropolis of Negroes.
Modern machinery and methods in
dealing with the sugar production in
the Philippines is destined to work
wonders and a. the same time turn a
flood of gold into the country. Mr..
Bockus returns to Honolulu filled with
optimism at the prospects presented
in the Philippines for the successful
cultivation and production of sugar.
Negros is stated as extremely well
supplied with abundant rail and wa
ter transportation. The Philippine
government has offered much finan-
cial encouragement for the extension
of railway lines through the rich agri-

The Experience of My Recent
Trip to the Panama Canal" will be
the subject upon which Ex-Governor
George r. Carter will speak next
Thursday evening when he will be
the guest OF honor at banquet given
by the College Mems Club in Cooke
Hall, Young Mems Christian Assoc.a-.
ton building. Mr. Carter made the
trip to the canal in company with
Secretary of War Stimson and party.
Not only will Mr.: Carter have an
interesting tale to tell of the canal AMI
the many wonderful devices connected
with it, but will also speak upon the
future place of the white man in the
tropics. The invitations which have
been mailed to the members of the
College Mems Club state that there
are three reasons why Mr. Carter
should address the gathering next
Thursday evening: First, because he
is distinguished graduate of Yale;
second, because he is one of HaWaii's
leading citizens, having been COVER
nor OF the islands, and third, because
he was the chairman of the committee
which raised the funds for the new
Y. NJ. C. A. building.
The College Mems Club, which has
not been long organized, is composed
entirely of young college men who
are members of the association. 1t is

month for social dinner and some
form Of entertainment. Any member
of the club who dnSjraS IN invite Soma

ALL LOOK FOR GRATITUDE
Nothing That Can Be Bestowed Is
Able to Take Its Place in the
Human Heart.

Gratitude given or received is one
of the best things in the world. We
need far more of it and far better quail
ity. Yet | have never read any salts
factory account of what it SO glorious
ly means. It's value begins just where
the value of pay ends. Thanks are
personal, an attempt to fit an ade-
quate response to the particular serv-
ice performed. Pay is an impersonal
coin which has been handed out to
many before 1t reaches you, and will
go to many others when it leaves you.
1t is your right and you are not CRATE
full for it. But thanks are a free gift
and enrich the giver. There is no
nobler art than the art OF expressing
ones gratitude in fresh, unhackneyed,
unexaggerated terms which answer
devotion with fresh devotion, fancy
with new fancy, charity with SINGER
ity. Artists who get their reward
only in money and in the stale plaud-
its OF clapping hands are restless for
something more individual. They
want to be intimately understood and
beautifully answered. For such graft
tude they look to brother artists. to
the few who really understand. There
they find their best rewards-but even
this leaves something wanting.-The
Atlantic.
