FARMERS PROFIT BY
THEIR ORGANIZATION

The value of mutual co-opera-
ton and organization by the far
ner is amply demonstrated by the
annual report of the Eastern Shore
Produce exchange, which has just
been completed by its directors. The
report shows that the receipts of the
exchange for 1912 amounted to $3,-
$50, zoe. The volume Of produce, en-
bractng Irish potatoes, sweet pota-
toes cabbage berries onions. etc,
totaled nearly 1000. 600 packages.
After declaring a dividend of 10
per cent over and above all expenses,
there still remained In the treasury

WILL PRUNING
EXTEND TO
]. ISLANDS? I. !.

Some sixty employees of the federal
customs service in the Hawaiian
islands are doing some serious think
ing these days. :. *s-.. ~s
Their brethren on the Pacific coast
are bearers of unpleasant tidings.
There has just gone into effect a
general adjustment of salaries of Gus
TINS officers, inspectors. guards,
watchmen and other employees. The
changes in stIpends have in almost
every instance resulted in a marked
reduction to the employe.
Details of the sweeping changes ef-
fected at San Francisco customs cir
cies. have been received here. and the
question is now mooted whether the
department of Hawaii will yet come
under the keen edge of the pruning
knife. : Fl, -
In most instances the reductions in
salary are small, and only one job
holder of Importance loses his posi-
tion. This is Fletcher t. Wooster,
United States, weigher at San Fran
cisco, whose dismissal was to take
effect on a temporary appointment by
Edward Durkin, now an inspector.
For his new duties Durkin will re-
ceiye a salary of $4,000 year. Other
changes are as follows:
At Port Hartford, Doniphan r.
Jacks, former collector, is made dep
uty collector in charge, class one. His
salary remains at $1,000 per annum.
At Eureka, Maximilian Lipowitz,
formerly storekeeper at the Hasiett
bonded warehouse in San Francisco, is
made deputy collector in charge, class
two, at a salary of $1400
In San Francisco, Charles H. Blinn,
former acting boarding officer at
$1,000 year, is made clerk of the
fifth class and his salary reduced to
$1,000. T. H. Craig, formerly clerk at
$1,000, is reduced to $1,000
The following San Francisco Gus
toms guards, class D, at $960 year,
are promoted to Class F, at $1095:
H. NJ Crowell, vice w. E. Hamburg
reduced; c. ], Gavin, vice Daniel Nc
Neill, reduced; Edward Skahan, vice
l.. NJ. Rasmussen. reduced; j. H.
Smith, vice George W. Young, re-
duced, and L. e. Vargus, new ap-
pointment. Two vacancies still re-
main in the customs guards at $40
per annum, and these will be filed in
the regular manner.
In Oakland, F. w. Cushing, now
deputy collector class two,r is reduced
and appointed deputy collector, class
one, and clerk, at salary of $1,000 a
year. s@'l..> -.

MUTUAL SOCIETY
IS PROSPEROUS

Flourisaing and sound conditions of
the Mutual Building and Loan So
eiety of Hawaii were reported by its
directors at the annual meeting held
last night. Incorporated in 1904 with
a subscribed capital of $4,000, of which
$500 was paid up, it has now a sub
scrfbed capital of $195, 400, of which,
including accrued earnings, $136.921 .35
is paid UP. Last year it handled
$133,946.44 in cash, with gross earn
fngs of $11,602, while its expense ac-
count was only S145485. 1t has a
reserve fund of $3.50, against which
there have: been no losses. During
eight consecutive years the society
has earned interest on the savings of
its members at the rate of per cent
per annum compounded semiannually.
Shares of charter members maturing
November 1, 1912, were promptly set
tied in accordance with the wishes of
the owners. In the past year the so
ciety has acquired thirty lots, which,
under the. name of the New Makiki
tract, are!being improved with streets,
curbed sidewalks and pipes for domes-
tic utilities" Possibly the society may
erect model cottages on some of the
lots, offering them for sale to members
on monthly payments. -....H z:

TRUE HEROISM.
William Barnes Lower Tells of Noble
Act of q Wisconsin Minister.

It is said that the day after Gar
fields election for President of the
United States a dispatch was sent
to Milton Wells, Wisconsin preach,
er, whose vote in the convention had
kept Garfield's name on the list of
candidates to the very last, asking
him if he would accept the governor
ship of Arizona In his reply, Mr..
Wells said: Il have a better office,
that can not leave. 1 am preaching
here for $500 a year."
Here is one of those heroes of men
whom the word will little note nor
long remember" He made man
famous, but he was willing to remain
unknown himself. We judge men by
the success they have outwardly
achieved. Many would pronounce
that Wisconsin preachers life fail
ure. What is the Governor of 2OO,-
600 people to saving souls for eter-
aity? To have office in the kingdom
of this world is insignificant in its
pleasure and results to being work
er in the kingdom of our Lord and
Master.

CRIME AS PUZZLING AS EVER.
Atlanta Authorities Unable to Solve
Stevens Murder Mystery.

Atlanta, Ca, May 20 Efforts OF
the authorities of Fulton and DeKalb
counties to solve the mystery sur
rounding the murder of Mrs. Sarah
Stevens and her. daughter, Nellie,
whose charreu bones. were found Wed
nesday morning in the ashes of the
Stevens home, near here, have so far
failed, and tonight the crime is as
puzzling as ever. Wade Stevens, 19-
year-old son of the dead woman, who
was sought upon direction of the cor
oner's jury, was located in Chatta-
nooga and brought back to-day. 1t
is said that young Stevens was seen in
Chattanooga early Wednesday morn
ing and, therefore, could not have
been connected with the crime. Will
liam Stevens, husband of the MUIR
dered woman, did not know of the
tragedy until he returned to-day
from Chattanooga, where he was at
tending the Confederate Reunion.
The aged Veteran says he will hunt
down the persons who killed his wife
and girl.

A Slight Mistake.

While holiday making in a small
rural village Mr.. Smith heard that
Robinson, his partner, had come to
the neighboring town of Dorchester
on business. Accordingly he rang
up on the telephone the hotel at
which Robinson usually stayed, and
asked:
SIS Mr.. Robinson there?" he in
quired.
''No; he is not"
But he has engaged a room?'
1--WE don't reserve rooms here,
came the sharp and somewhat airy
reply. First come, first served;
that's the rule here"
Perhaps; but surely Mr.. Robin
son usually stays with you when in
the town, don't he?'
Cant say!" was the Indifferent
rejoinder.
Look here, young man, roared
Smits, now growing angry, you're
the silliest assistant who ever spoilt
his masters business. Go away and

the hotel to come and speak to me-

Shooting Near Lancaster.

Lancaster, June 3.-Miles Thomas,
a negro tenant on w. NJ. Stogner's
place on the edge of town, was shot
by John Still, another negro, today.
The negroes were cutting oats and
became engaged in quarrel. 1t is
said that Still left the field, came to
town and borrowed shotgun "to
kill a snake" and upon returning to
the field emptied both barrels into
Thomas, then came on to town and
surrendered to Sheriff Hunter.
Thomas's wound is not considered
dangerous. Still has not long been on
the chain gang, where he served a
term for stealing.

BANKERS COME TO TRIAL.
Charged With Marking Big Note Paid
When it Was Not.

Cincinnati, Ohio, June 2.-The
trial of George B. Cox, financier, and
former political leader, and other di-
rectors and officers of the Cincinnati
Trust Company, on the indictment
charging them with violating the
banking law, was begun here today.
The charge is that nine of the Off
GERS and directors signed a joint note
for s352,5OO in favor of the bank in
1911 upon the demand of the State
banking department to prevent the
bank from going to the wall, and that
later they falsely marked the note as
"paid" upon the books of the bank
and destroyed it, whereas, in fact, it
had never been paid.

neck and, yelling, 'Jump!' fairly pull
ed me through the door on the other
side of the train at the same moment
that he jumped himself.
"The next thing knew l heard
crash and a cracking of timbers, the
car careened and, as glanced up at
it from where l lay on the ground,
could see it slowly topping over on
top of us.
II was considerably surprised
minute later to see it settle and slide
so that the door opening came direct
ly over us as we lay together, and
save for the heel of one shoe, which
was caught by the edge of the door
way, I was absolutely untouched.
when we climbed out and had at
tended to the injured among the pas
sengers 1 began to think about that
signalman. He was nowhere to be
found, and we at first concluded that,
appalled, at the result of his stupidity
he had run away. Later, though, we
found him. He was trussed up with
ropes, lying on his face in a tangle
of vines a quarter of a mile from the
junction.
1T was some time before the poor
fellow could talk. Then he told us
that shortly after he came on duty
that morning a band of Arabs appear
ed out of the fog, fell upon him and,
binding him so that he could not get
loose, carried him to where he lay.
MY mind went back at once to the
Arab whose boy had been run over a
few weeks before, and realized that
this was the way in which he had
wreaked vengeance upon the railroad
It was he who had given us the signal
to proceed and who had switched the
mainline on the cross-over track
so as to wreck the other.
HE had succeeded, for the cotton
fields which surrounded the junction
point were stained red where the in
jured had been laid, and the smoke
which curled up from the wreckage
testified that good many piastres of
the Egyptian Delta railroad had van
ished that morning.
1T was not surprising that the en-
gineers thought the Arab to be the
regular signalman, for in their native
costume, heads swathed in white lin
en- and the figure entirely concealed
one Egyptian looks very much like
another, especially in the thick fog
The rascal must have watched the
passing of the trains at that point
for days in order to know just how
he could effect the most damage in
the shortest possible time. Rail-
