The Camping Trip

laughed and asked II they would IKE

grandmother said:

apples and some doughnuts.

The house seemed very lonesome
after the boys had gone. At dinner
time they wondered how the campers
were enjoying their first meal in camp
Are you sure that tent will be
warm enough for them ?'' grand
mother asked anxiously.
The afternoon was unusually quiet,
with no small boys and no dog about

THE SPIRIT OF THE SOUTH.

Hark! IT'S the call of the bugle,
Tho soldiers rally of yore,
Hush'd is the sound OF cannon,
Gone IS the dread of the foe,
The vets in tattered gray uniforms
Come to the old battle spot.
But dead Is the fire OF the sixties,
Old hareds now arc forgot.
What though tho music be martial,
Many will come on crutch,
Tho tune Yankee Doodle or Dixie
Now viii not matter much.
For this is indeed reunion.
And union II ever must be.
Since in union only is safety,
Both on land and the sea
The Boys in Blue will welcome,
While Round Top echoes The cheers,

Is a medley for tears.
But as long as our country Is pros
porous.
And heaven DEGREES our fates,
Who lost or who won does not matter,
Since God only saves the States.

THE SHREDDING AND DESICCAT
INC JUICE EXTRACTION
PROCESS.

Editor Honolulu StaTBulletin,
Strive hear very little about the
above process Notwithstanding it is
said to be beyond the experimental
stage and will soon be put on a COM
mercial basis. This process is said to
be one of the greatest improvements
ever made in the sugarcane industry.
BY it the by-products are said to be-
come as valuable as the sugar, while
the cost of manufacture is but very
slightly increased. This new process
does away with the 12-roller mill, and
needs only a shredder to take its
place. Briefly stated, it works as fol-
lows: After being shredded, the cane
is dried to low water content, boil
ed, shipped to a central factory and
the sugar extracted by diffusion.
The contents of the cane are found
to be 70 per cent water, ,16 per cent

STATE AID FOR COLLEGES

HaWaiis appropriations for institutions of
higher education are small indeed compared to
those of most of the states bulletin just is
sued by the United States bureau of education
brings some interesting facts along this line par
ticularlX timely in view of the approach of the
legislature and the demands that will be made
upon it's funds by territorial schools.
total working income of approximately
$35, 600, 900 was received by eighty-seven state
universities and other state-aided institutions of
higher education during the past year. OF this
amount the United States government contrib
uted about $5,O00,000 and the state $4,000 900.
Most of these institutions do not have large en-
doWment funds, as many private colleges and
universities have, but their regular current in
eome from public appropriations represents a
definite capitalization of about $40OO00,0OO.
The years income passed the two-million
mark in the case of three state universities. The
University of Illinois had an income during
1911-l2 of $2,363,711; the University of Mime
sofa 30 49,, 499; and the University of Wisconsin
So, 1922 Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y,
which is technically private institution but re-
ceives state and federal aid, reported total re-
ceipts of over three million dollars with net in
come available for current expenses of about a
million and half.
Several other stateaided Institutions are. in
the Observation-Disclosures class These include
the University of Michigan, which had an income
Iof $1,343,057; Ohio State University, with 81
10 ,571; and the University Of California, with
ST. I'll 1893 The latter had an additional half
million from private benefactions. The state Of
Iowa supports several institutions of college and
university rank with a combined income of over
two million dollars.
Some of the states are exceedingly generous to
their colleges and universities, and in such cases
the national governments contribution is only
small fraction of the total. Illinois meets the
governments $4,000 with nearly two million
dollars from state funds, and there are several
other states that are similarly open-handed
Most of the states give to higher education a
greater sum than they receive from the United
States government.

saccharine. II per cent cellulose, Of
two kinds, and a certain amount Of
inter-Cellulose matter"
II is the large amount of celfulose
that is made available by this process
which makes the improvement, and
which. it is said. is of more value than
the sugar itself. The cellulose from
the fiber produces a high-grade paper
stock, and that from the pith a cellu
lose so low in ash that it takes the
place OF cotton in the manufacture of
Celluloids and nitro-cellulose combi-
nations. 1t also makes non-conduct-
ing artificial ebony wood Besides this
there is waxlike substance, or con-
tent. and a number of other sub
stances that promise to add largely to
the value.
One hundred per cent of the sugar
is extracted by this method, which is
a great gain over old methods. 1t also
has the advantage of making white
granulated sugar by a single process.
This great discovery will seem to off
set the low price of sugar and even
the loss of the duty on sugar.
The name of the discoverer Of this
new process is G.. w. McMullen, Pts

menting along these lines for the last
eight years. and at last his untirnig
efforts have been crowned with COM

fore, once bridging over a gap left vacant when
the elder DiaZ was beaten. DE la Barra is a pol

MADERO's TOLERANCE COSTLY

A good deal of sMadero's troubles in Mexico
may be laid at the door of his own mildness of
character and a tolerance which at times
amounts to INDIGESTION. More than half of the
leaders in the revolt against him are men whom
he once had in his power but declined to put
where they could do him NO more harm.
The most prominent example of this is Felix
Diaz, the nephew of the deposed president, Por-
firio Diaz. The young nephew headed an upris-
ing against Madero only few months ago, was
easily captured and was sentenced to death as a
traitor. In spite of the peadings of his own cab
met, Madero interviewed and by using his influ-
ence to the utmost saved his enemy from hang
ing. After a short Imprisonment Diaz was re-
leased and Immediately began plotting against
Madero again. An argument which he used eff
fectively to bring the Zapatistas to his standard
was that Madero had been afraid to punish him
because as president Madero would not risk stir
ring up popular sentiment by executing the
nephew of his arch-enen1y, old Porfirio. Within
month after young Diaz was released he had
the nucleus of new rebel army
MaderO's nature is just the opposite of ex-
President Porfirio's The grim old WARRIOR who
had made and kept his position by liberal Use of
the sword, never trusted man whom he had ever
known to betray a sentiment opposed to his own.
He kept federal troops scattered in every prov
ince. Madero, announcing program of prog
ress synalized his accession to the presidency by
withdrawing most of the federal troops from the
provinces and leaving even the most turbulent
states guarded only by the local police organiza-
lions The consequence has been the guerillas

been dozen rebel leaders in every state. Ma
derO's trustfulness has been abused by plotting

ambitions
