Large Crowd Last

TELLS ABOUT HAWAII

Several hundred people will never
forget what Charles A. Payne told
them about the Hawaiian islands In
his illustrated lecture at the high
school auditorium Friday evening For
nearly two hours Mr. Payne delighted
his large audience with his interest
ing and instructive talk. It seem ed
that he really had taken his listeners
with him to the enchanted paradise
Of the Pacific.
AS an introduction to his lecture on
Hawaii, Mr.. Payne talked for awhile
on the conditions in NJ exico at the
present time. A number of slides
shown and explained had been taken
in various Mexican cities which are
now the seat Of big military opera
tons. Slides and charts were shown
to explain the mountainous conditions
OF the country in the central part.
Strongly Against Mexican War.
Mr.. Payne stated that the vast ma
jority of the Mexican people were
poverty stricken, illit crate, and were
in no way to blame for the relations
existing between the United States
and Mexico He said that most Amer
leans were mistaken in their impr Is
sion that Mexicans were cruel and
treacherous, but that for the most
part they were devout christians,
simple minded, and extremely cour-
teous to strangers. He said that the
United States would be making
great mistake if we went to war
against these people and expressed
the opinion that the many newspa-
pers in this country that have been
urging war with Mexico should be Sc
verely rebuked.
Although his talk on Mexico was
interesting. his audience enjoyed
more what he SAID about the Hawaiian
islands. Mr.. Payne first showed a
chart which illustrated how far from
other countries in the world these is.
lands are located. He took up the
history OF the country and said that
no one knew from where the Hawiians
had come. They have no negro blood
in their veins. they did not come from
the orient. in fact. it was impossible
to trace them back to any race.
Natives were Uncivilized.
He told how. when the ISLANDS were
first discovered, the inhabitants were
wholly uncivilized, had no written
lived in grass huts, and
worshipped in a form of religion that
was wholly devoid of any sense Of

Desc ribeo Many Things.

In all, Mr.. Payne showed about 100
slides In his lecture Mr.. Payne told
about the beautiful tropical vegeta-
ton, the banyan, cocoanut, bread
fruit, and fern trees. He told about
the warm hearted natives, the surf
riders, the flowers and flower girls.
about the enchanting music and love
making, about their idols, their le-
gends, and their history.
He gave vivid description of the
volcanic mountains, the rivers Of liv-
ing fire, the cascades and caves OF
lava. He told about a descent of
nearly a thousand feet into crater
of the largest living volcano in the
world. and told how 1t felt to spend
a night down that crater by lake OF
living fire. He closed his lecture by
telling how when his boat left the is
lands for the United States, several
thousand Of the natives, carrying
flowers Of all descriptions. came to
bid goodbye to those on the boat.

OF Interest to Every Farmer

Having been asked several times
this week what l was going to do a
bout harvest hands this year by some
who do not seem to know, will say
that l am going to do just as l have
been requested to do by great many
and that is all can do. / will not
chase up and down the road until we
see and know about what is necessary
to be done. 1t is to be hoped that a.
mong US we can supply the situation
right from the business houses as we
have many times done, but I am 60
ing to leave Saturday night for the
west to look over the harvest hand
situation, and while there seems to
where, l hardly think the farmers
need feel any great alarm over a big
scarcity of hands or an exorbitant
wage as there are several who now
have full crew and great many
who only need from one to three and
Ellis will certainly get her share of
the volunteers about harvest time,
and until We get things in running
order we have always run few days
little short handed and we proba-
bly, always will with good crop. Any
farmer is at liberty any time with
our phone system to call any business
house or firm and tell their wants
and any of them will respond and do
all they can to help out the help or
repair situation as they always have,
and do it cheerfully.
do not expect to bring back lot
of hands, / only expect to learn what
can. be done in case we need them.
There are two sides to this situa-
ton, one is as grave as the other to
US; one is to see a farmers grain
wasting for the want of help and the
other is to.see our streets lined with
laboring men 800 miles from home,
broke and no job: their families look
ing for a post Office order every mail
from the harvest fields.
l find it much easier to find help to
work with the Hodge and Craver
header than any other header on
earth.
