pies and he would scratch his head

Soap and Ointment to me. asked
our family doctor and he said. Yes,
go right ahead and use them We got
one cake Of Cuticura Soap and one
box of Cuticura Ointment and they
healed him from the first. In few
days his head did not seem to itch
or bother him in the least and before

NO EXCUSE FOR EARLY RISING
Man Who Gets Up at Dawn Is Stupid.
Is Assertion Made by Father
Dwight.

The arrogance Of the man who
arises to the minor heroism Of cold
bath has been complained OF by less
heroic folk who arise to tepid or
warm one. To be set apart by the
ability to stand the shock of coldwa-
ter has seemed to less vigorous folk
an unsubstantial claim to Immortality.
II lacks moral suficiency and is too
much made Of by the cold bather.
Another arrogance Is given consid-
Grafton by Rev. Walter Dwight, s..
j., in America. II is the arrogance
of early risers. Father Dwight denies
them heroism and enters into doubt
as to their intelligence. AS rule he
finds them a notably arrogant set"
appearing to believe that they move
on higher ethical plane"
Every normal human being. not
given ordinarily to early rising, but
being on accession tempted or forced
into it, has felt the strange spiritual
affiatus, the moral patting on the back
in consequence thereof. The feeling
that a good deed has been done for
a naughty world is inexplicable, but
supreme.
Father Dwight Is remorseless. The
early riser is the least intelligent Of
mankind.

had to offer were real good. He ar
ranged for a great shipment Of thirty
six cars to be sent to New York. This
was the first great shipment from
Rocky Ford. 1t was the pride and
the hope of Rocky Ford.
But alas, something happened on
the railroad. to cause delay, and when
those SO cars arrived in New York
the stuff was taken out, shipped down
the bay and dumped into the Atlantic
ocean. It had spoiled en- route.
This experience was enough to dam
pen the ardor of the ordinary man,
but It did not stop Woods and it did
not stop the people in Rocky Ford.
Woods had lots Of common sense. He
studied out the shipping question. IT
was he who designed the box now the
standard one throughout America in
the shipping Of melons. It was he who
originated the wrapping Of each piece
of fruit in tissue paper. A lot OF other
things that lent class to the shipments
were of his creation.
After the Rocky Ford people had re-
covered from their sorrowful expert
ence Of the SO car shipment Woods
acted as their New York agent for
quite a while. There are not many
of the old produce men Of New York
who do not remember him. He used
to be on the piers when the melon
trains arrived from the West and he
sold to the best advantage. Not only
that, but he did some clever advertis-
ing around the hotels and In the news
papers. He boosted the Rocky Ford
melon as no other one man did. He
made money, but not enough to satisfy
him He saw way beyond Rocky Ford
and he started out to take advantage
Of his breadth of vision.
Tried Various Localities.
There was another man, too, who
had the same foresight. That was Nat
G. Wetzel. president of the Western
Gamo and Produce company of st.
Louis. The two men got Rocky Ford
seed and began experiments with a
view of raising the Rocky Ford melon
In all parts of the country.
Woods turned to the Imperial valley.
He got farmers In that section inter-
ested and they had decided success.
He stirred up agriculturists in Florida,
In the Carolinas, in Georgia, In Texas.

Rare Minerals In Tasmania.

The number of rare minerals found
to exist in Tasmania ia constantly be-
ins added to, and the latest addition is
molybdenite, which is used In the man
ufacture of "molybdenum Steel" to
which it gives a special hardness and
toughness that makes it suitable for
use in propeller shafts, guns and
boilers. 1t is also used. to lesser ex-
tent, in the making Of pottery glass
and other things. The price of molyb-
denite is now $4,000 ton, or nearly
four times the present price of tin.

1t is significant that Japan's plans as to bel

to the United States through the British en-
bassy in Washington The significance is that
Quite evidently Japan and Great Britain are

not to say the public nostrils-it may
be Of interest to the numerous eredi
tors-who are concerned in the exis
tence of the license of the place-to
know of the fist fight pulled off in the
bar of the joint on the evening of Mon
day last, and, also, of the approval OF
Scully and the financial manager" OF
the Inn, both of whom were eye-wit-
nesses of the mill, as was another
Saloonkeeper, town-house man; the
scrap was participated in by brewery
employe and a Watertown inspector,
the litter. being fully drunk. having
the worst of the encounter.
Why allow a man to be hours drunk
en- the place? Why allow the fight?
Both the old manager and the recently
appointed one should have made some
efforts to stop the ARRAY. but, as JEFF
is away they, no doubt, keenly enjoyed
the fight-on licensed premises.
The above is the truth: publish it.

THE MEANEsT CREATURE THAI
cRAWLS.

| Honolulu. August 10.
Editor Honolulu StaT-Bulletin.
Sir: Mr.. L. A. ThurstoR. in the Ad
vertiser this morning, says that
1 have been bitten by something pois-
1 cnous," True. 1t was a knocker, which
the Advertiser editorially July 30
calls the meanest creature that
| crawls."
| Mr.. ThuTston also says that | am
more anxious to take a fan out OF
the Advertiser than TO vindicate
| Desha." Not true! But, If true. it
would follow the advice of tn2 same
editorial. Ito take fall Out of the
first man, woman or chil0 VINO under
takes to knock"
Mr.. I hurston then proceeds to prove
that the AdyeI tiser did not misrepre-
sent and abuse Mr. Desha by abus ng
and misrepreSenting me; and then
denies the charge that it misrepresent-
cd the delegates secretary But my
letter was occasioned by an editorial
! on Saturday the 18th, charging that
congressman visiting the office of
the hawaiian delegate in the past few
weeks have found the door locked, not
being able to find Secretary Desha or
to obtain one particle of information
or encouragement from Hawaiian
sources" III this was not based on
the interview with Mr. 0gg published
in the Star-Bulletin, concerning which
that paper had published on August s
my statement of Mr.. Desha,s diligent
ottonfion fo In, Sinocc op1 witch 7 49,,
derstand from MIR. Thurston had been
referred to in the Advertiser, would
be glad to know the basis of the edito-
rial; and also, whether it is not a
knock at Mr.. Desha.
Among the Misrepresentation in
Mr.. Thurston editorial is that | stat
ed that the Advertiser was conducting
campaign of Misrepresentation and
abuse, which he personally admitted
TO me was not directly charged in the
communication; that / had said that a
boy jast out of college is
competent TO fill the bill of represen.
tatiVe at Washington" when the fact
is that Mr.. Desha is not representing
Hawaii at Washington. but is filling,
government clsrkshipf at a very
meager salary; that said that "Mr.
Desha is as good and better man
than Mr.. MeCleiian was" and that
the Advertiser had interviewed Mr.
Ogg, none of which statements appear
in the letter which the Star-Bulletin
published.
AS the columns of the Advertiser
are not open to me, IrWish to thank
Mr.. Thurston for the. admission that
Mr.. Desha is credit to himself, his
family, his race and his birthplace"
and for the endorsement of his per-
sonal qualities, his suavity of manner
and desire to please. III.
The only issue, therefore, seems to
be on his attention to duty, and, un-
less Mr.. Thurston desires to be char
acterized by the newspaper he owns
as the meanest creature that crawls,
it is up to him to prove the allega-
ton in the editorial of Saturday that
congressman cannot find Secretary
Desha or obtain zone particle of In
formation or encouragement from Ha.
waiian sources" whatever that may
mean.

JUST ONE SAFE COURSE

! If the rumor is true that creditors who lately
took over Waikiki Inn intend to drop Manager
Scully and ON the strength Of this and promises
/ for future good conduct OF the place ask the
| license commissioners for special night priv
leges, there is but one course for the commission
| to pursue and that is TO refuse the extension of
these special privileges
Waikiki Inn has bad name and if half of
the charges against its conduct are true, the
bad name has been fully earned. Furthermore,
no showing has been made or can be made for
allowing still further liberties of liquOr-seling
at the beach resort. Teh reports of the license
inspector, the experience of the police depart
ment, the Investigations of grand juries, have
repeatedly and consistently shown that the
greatest danger from the booze business to the
young people of Honolulu lies in the night-seIl
ing privileges at a beach resort such as Waikiki
Inn. ......-.
In the name of decency, cannot enough booze
be sold at Waikiki Inn up to II 80 o'clock at
night? ~ ~
The traffic after IL 80 o'clock, as Honolulu
people know from unfortunate experience, is apt
TO be of the sort that wrecks homes and happi-
ness, ruins young girls and starts young men on
the path to shame and disgrace
1t will be a backward step, downward step,
if the license commissioners add another to the
list of resorts where booze can be bought late
at night-bought under such conditions that
proper surveillance is impossible.
Within the past few weeks the commission has
learned how difficult it is to see that the liquor
laws are properly administered. 1t has appar
emily been powerless to get at the bottom of the
allegations of law violation at this same Waikiki
Inn. 'z....~.. .<"#
4 Will the commission now allow another loop
hole-another opportunity and an easy one
for stretching the law point or two so that a
few more dollars can be made off the night
traffic?
The license commissioners hold justly-won
reputation for safeguarding the community in
administering the liquor laws. The rumor now
flying around in booze circles that Waikiki Inn
shortly is to be Opened up" will, we believe
from the past record of the commission, be an
swered by an emphatic denial to the request for
night-pryileges at a resort that deserves no spe
cial consideration
