largely on Hawaii and at school on
the mainland Shortly before she be-

Enolulu from the coast and on March

The celebration took place at the
Parker ranch, many score guests
from all parts of the territory
participating in the festivities which
lasted three days. Z
It was shortly following the cele-
bration that the young heiress an

EDITOR
SOUTH AFRICA MAY TRY BEET SUGAR

A movement is on foot according to cor
respondents from Cape Town, to introduce the
beet sugar industry into South Africa at the
present time, in view of the shortage which
must occur in the supply from the continent of
Europe.
1t is stated that experiments show that many
parts of the country are eminently suitable for
this crop, and that analyses of samples have
shown them to be equal to the best produced in
Europe, with the added advantage that in South
Africa two crops can be grown in one year.

clared that Detroit knew little of the

Respect for the law has been low

applies equally to traffic and saloon

here has inherited $1,000 and is to
have kidneys and cream three times

day reported to her mother that the
stork had certainly been kind tc

She went directly across the stree,
and told Mrs. Ross that she had gift

much clutching at her skirt. she pre-
sented Tiger, then unnamed and un
loved.
Mrs. Ross never liked cats, hel

Mrs. Mary Scripture. and her aunt
Mrs. Emma Convey, were living with
her, and the two elderly women tool

The two old women petted and
cared for him, and things were lux

Ross had sold her home In Chicago tc

LIQUOR FIGHT HOT
in CALIFORNIA
Thousands Of Dollars Spent by
Both Sides in Stamping
Campaigns

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. So.--ln -four
more days the voters of California
will decide whether the saloons. brew
cries and Wineries Of the state mus
go or whether California will remain
in the wet column. The liquor inter
ests are so confident that the prohibit
ton amendment will be defeated tha
they are Offering Ave to one that con
ditions will remain as they are now.
The prohibition amendment Is over
shadowing In interest all other amend
ments on the ballot, and even the
race between the gubernatorial, sena-
torial and congressional candidates
has been forced to. take second place
In public interest.
Thousands of dollars are being
spent by both prohibitionists and the
vets in advertising and stamping cam
paigns.
Anti-prohibitionists say the amend
ment, IL carried, would prove almost q
death blow to the drawing power OF
the Panama Pacific exposition. Pro
hibitionists admit that II the amend
ment Is defeated Il will be due more
to this argument than any other one
thing.
SEATTLE, WASH, Oct 30.--As
election day draws nearer, 1t be-
comes apparent here that the pro-
hibition question Is the most absorb
ing of all the political issues to be
decided Nov. 3, In this state. A spir-

the arrival of the flying squadron"

at fever heat
Both sides claim victory.

the foremost questions in the minds
of voters when the final work OF the

Opponents and supporters OF the
liquor traffic have conducted speaking
campaigns throughout the entire
state, and the advertising columns OF
the newspapers have been extensive
