Large Party Here During
San Francisco Fair

One hundred and twenty-five gas
and electric men of the west nave
agreed to join big party on spec
ially-chartered steamer for a voyage
to Hawaii in 1915. With the project
still in its infancy, the movement for
the Hawaii trip is growing so fast
that more than twice as many are
expected to sign up when definite ar
rangements for the steamer are made,
This is the news brought back by
Manager Fl. L. Strange of the Homo

Strange and Charles E. King. cashier
of the company. proposed that when
the gas and electric men of the Un-
tied States held their annual con-
vention in 1915 at San Francisco,
there should be an excursion to bring
them to Hawaii. A good many people
laughed at the idea, but Manager
Strange went quietly ahead and he
now comes with the news that the
plan is heartily Endorsed and the ex-
cursion is assured so far as getting
the excursionists is concerned.
Now ii is up to Hawaii to get

Advocates Of Independence

Washington.-The continuation of
the policy adopted by the present
government in the Philippine Islands
of building extensive public improve
ments throughout the islands, school
houses, roads, bridges, municipal mar
kets, water systems, ferries and light
ing plants, is one OF the problems
which the advocates Of immediate in
dependence are finding difficulty In
solving.
The present government, through the
bureau of public works, has established
public Improvements throughout the
islands contributing to a marked ex-
tent to the prosperity which they now
enjoy. These vary in cost from $3.50
to $250,O00, and 80 per cent Of them
are constructed by the administration
itself, private contractors refusing to
submit bids on the hazardous under
takings.

THREE CAWS FOR JlMCROW!
He's Not So Black as Painted, Agri-
culture Experts Find.

That the crow is not as black as he
is painted is the conclusion reached by
experts of the department of agricul-
ture who have examined several thou
sand craws of the despised bird. An
error was made ten years ago, the in
vestigators declare, in spreading broad
cast warning against "old jimcrow."
A report announces that the crow
does more good than harm; he eats
more pests than crops. His one beset-
ting sin is devouring the eggs and
young of other birds, but the contents
of his craw prove that about nine
tenths of his food consists OF insects
and other crop destroying creatures.
Don't be too hard on the crow that
squawks about your farm" is the ad
vice given by the department OF agri
culture to the farmer.
