THE present method of construct
ing homestead roads. which is pro-
vided for by law. works both hard
ship on the homesteaders and the ter
ritory," says former Superintendent J..
W. Caldwell in his 1914 annual report
of the public works department tn the
governor. The report, printed in book
form for general distribution, is just
off the press this week, and consists of
296 pages of printed matter besides
the Illustrations . Az. .-...
His recommendations relative to
homestead road building are given en-
phasis by repetition, making the same
comment on this subject as given in
his report Of last year. He says:
The. existing laws only permit
money to be spent as 1t is paid in by
the homesteaders These amounts are
usually small and only short stretches
of highways can be constructed Small
contracts always mean corresponding
ly high prices for the work If COM
plete highways could be constructed

The committee on county and NUM-
eipal affairs of the Chamber of Com
merce today forwarded to the board OF
supervisors a letter inquiring as to
what action the latter body has taken
regarding the paving OF the makai
side of Kalakeua avenue. At meet
ing of the committee yesterday after
noon the paving project was discussed
at some length, the concensus OF opin-
ion being that the supervisors are not
living up to promises made to the
committee two weeks ago that the
work would be commenced immediate
~. The committee believes that, be
fore the tourist season commences, the
makai side of Kalakaua avenue should
be paved and otherwise put in good
order.

of the Boy Scouts, with the exception
the members are girls. The aim of
the Campfire is to train girls along va
rious lines; namely health craft, home
craft, camp craft. handicraft, nature
lore, business and patriotism.
The Palama Campfire received its
charter last month, and is No. 3122.
Already the members have taken two
hikes into the hills back of Honolulu,
and other stunts are being planned for
the coming months.
Il am going to get one Of the set
tlement nurses to give the girls a
course in first-aid,'' said Miss Topham
this morning. ION the last hike we
took one of the girls cut her foot very
severely, and there was no one present
who knew what to do for the injury.
The chapter is composed of an unusu-
ally nice set of girls, the majority of
whom will enter high school this fall.
The members of Palama Campfire
are Helen Char, Gladys Cockett, Helen
Duncan, Olive Duncan, Eva Fukuda,
Minnie Fukumura, Violet Goo, Agnes

affect the price as against the New
York price. They would still have a
differential under New York of %
cents a hundred pounds on raw; that
is, on any reasonable basis of rate
through the canal. ....
California was already supplying a
large part of the market west of Mis-
souri, river, and going beyond that as
far as Des Moines. On this point Mr.
Rolph said: :..-.~ IT,
I'VE did ship into Chicago last
spring to find out what the situation
was in Chicago, in view of a possible
reduction in the rate, and we found
several things. We are Handicapped
on the Pacific coast, in addition to the
actual rate, by many things In the
first place, to get the minimum rate
we must ship in 60,000-pound cars. as
against $4,000 or 36.O00-pounds cars
from New Orleans. New York and
Philadelphia, and that is quite an item,
particularly in declining market, as
the jobber will only buy the smallest
amount of sugar he can get at a time.
so we are Disseminated against TO
that extent. In the second place, our
SthIC vi IlOLl lAC dClhC
coast to Missouri River and eastern
points ranges from four to eight days
longer than from New Orleans or New
York to the same point.
In the next place, in the east they
have incorporated in their tariff pro-
vision that all barrels-and they ship
large part of their product in barrels
shall be taken on an agreed tare of
16 pounds, when in fact the barrels
actually weigh 25 pounds, making a
difference of 900 pounds of freight car
ried free from eastern and southern
points, as against practically the full
tare as applied here %"
The next discrimination against
the Pacific coast is in Chicago, where
the lake and rail lines take sugar and
store it at points like Milwaukee, De-
troit and Duluth. for considerable pc
RODS of time free of insurance and
free of storage while being so carried,
and we, from this end. have to ship
our sugar into public warehouses and
pay the storage and insurance"
Mr.. Rolph spoke of the higher cost
of labor on the Pacific coast than in
the east, but did not know whether the
cost OF refining sugar on the coast was
higher.
/, He had no objection to the making
of the lower rate to Chicago while the
Scent rate was maintained at Mis-.
souri, River. so far as can see, we
have no objections to the higher inter-
mediate rates. because practically all
the sugar that is distributed between
here and those points is distributed
from the West, where everybody is on
the same basis" he said in reply to a
question, but added that he would like
to see the 55-cent rate at Missouri
River reduced.

The following 'home town
talks" from an exchange contains
some sound philosophy: If you
are going to live here, give here.
Build to last. and don't be the
last to build, Don't paint the
town; paint your house. Be an
example to your family, not a
problem. Only a blind man needs
to buy sight unseen. The smaller
the town the bigger the possi-
bilities. Nail the loose planks
about your town and the loose
lies. Don't be a fellow who never
runs to anything butfa fire. Is
yours the hesr looking house in
the block, or the worst. Do not
think you can prosper whether
the town does or not. A penny's
worth of paint will save a dol
lars worth of damage. Keeping
your house in repair keeps its
value in the same condition. Let
the carpenter be the only man in
your town to use a hammer. A
dollar is no carrier pigeon; send
it away and it won't come back.
The further a~man gets from his
home the nearer it gets to his
heart.

Mississippi Stock Best at the
Iowa State Fair

Jackson, Miss, Sept. An
competition with 220 head of the
finest Herefords grown in the
Middle West, exhibited at the
Iowa State Fair in Des Moines,
the famous show herd from the
Lavernet stock farm In this city
walked away with a lions share
of the honors, getting awards in
every class where exhibits were
made.
The Lavernet herd has been
touring the northern and western
fairs for the past three weeks,
capturing high honors at all
points visited. The Iowa State
Fair, however, was the critical
test, as it is conceded to be one
of the leading stock shows in
America. The herd is headed by
Point Comford XIV, champion
Hereford bull OF the world, wide
ly known as the $4,000 beauty
of the Lavernet farm. Point
Comfort, of course, is not its
own in competition this year,
having won all the honors it is
possible for a Hereford to cap
ture.
The show herd is in charge Of
Vernon Davis, junior owner of
the farm. and all return south in
a few weeks to tour the southern
fair circuit. Messrs. w. j. Davis
& Co. this year have sent out a

TRUCK GROWERS
ASSOCIATION Meets
Plans Being Perfected to Raise
Vegetables in Lee County for
Shipment to Northern
Markets in Car Lots

The horticultural association
which was organized a month
ago held its second meeting at
the court house Tuesday morn
ing. Owing to the fact that the
farmers are very busy with their
crops, only a small crowd was
present. E. L. Robson, market
agent of the Mobile & Ohio Rail
road Co., who is devoting his
time to the organization of these
associations along the line of the
road, was present and delivered
an interesting talk.
The purpose of the organiza-
tion is to try another year to place
on the market cabbage, Irish po-
tatoes, sweet potatoes and water
melons in car lots. 1t is desired
that at least so will join the or
ganization and at least SO acres
be put in one of the products
named above.
Many points in the south are
making quite a success in raising
cabbage and potatoes, and the
state of Georgia has grown IA
NOUS for its peaches and water
melons.
The soil east Of Tupelo is spe-
cially adapted to growing water
melons. Some of our watermelon
raisers bring to town magnificent
specimens which would find ready
sale on any market. We cannot,
of course, bring them in as early
as the melons raised in South
Georgia, but We can bring in a
middle season and late melon that
will find ready sale in either
northern or southern markets.
During the melon season there
is frequently a sufficient number
of melons bfoughtin to fill a car.
It is true that a ready sale at good
prices can be found for nearly
all the melons brought in, but
the local market can be supplied
and a sufficient acreage put in to
give US shipments by the car load
every day during the season.
Cabbage has proven to be a
good paying crop in many places
and these can be grown during
the late winter and early spring
when other crops are not in the
way.
