SUGAR OUTLOOK GOOD.

There is substantial foundation for belief in
much improved sugar prices for 1915, belief
Of course considerably heightened yesterday
when the New York market showed jump
from 3.5l to 4.01 cents after period of grow
ing depression. ~
Advices published in these columns several
weeks ago pointed to a strengthening of the
market sometime before the first of january.
While Yesterdays advance may be temporary,
there is still no reason to expect anything but
strong market early next year and probably
continuing for many months Is
The European war is giving every indication
of running well into next year. The utterances
Of Earl Kitchener, Lord Churchill and other
British leaders, quoted this morning, indicate
that an early victory is mot expected From
theif point of view, Germany has first to be
driven back into her own territory and there
attacked, a program which means protracted,
bitter and exhausting struggle
Even if the European demand for sugar is
not such as to cause large expectations from
the United States, the situation VIII be salts
factory one for the u. S. producers. The normal
American demand viii keep prices up, in the
absence of the inroads of foreign sugars threat
ened by the lowering of the tariff and its ulti-
mate removal.
The industrial outlook for Hawaii is much
brighter than could have been expected six
months ago. While there issno reason for a
scrambling, reckless speculation stimulated by
the prospects of higher prices, there is good
Foundation for optimism generally.

would cost more than it did to build the first
American battleship.

THE WAR BILL.
The war bill which Europe is meeting daily
Is now figured up as follows: r. -:,.
$40,225,O0O

The French appropriation is from official
figures as announced by NJ. Ribot, minister of
finance; the English estimate by the London
Statist; the German total from g an authorita-
tive source" in Geneva paper; and the other
sums from various conservative estimates
which have appeared in one place or another.
The item various" represents the probable
expense to which Servia, Belgium, and the neu-
trail countries of Switzerland, Italy, Rumania,
Turkey, Greece, Holland and Denmark have
been put.
The vast total does not include the destruc-
ton of property where fighting is taking place,
nor the wel-nigh incalculable losses to Europe
Of 20 100000 men under arms being taken from
production. There are no indications in France
that exhaustion has set in, but tits evident that
the accumulated treasure of even the richest
country on the continent is being poured out
at the rate of 5000, 100000 month to the Ma
tional Debt.

BRINGING BILLY SUNDAY.

Editor Honolulu Star Bulletin.
Sir: Let's look at this Billy Sunday
matter from the standpoint Of promo
ton for the territory as a whole. Sup
pose they do bring that energetic ex-
ballplayer here for the purpose Of
snergizing the evangelistic field and
promoting the spread of religion by
acquiring new converts under the spell
Of Billy Sundays magnetic personality
what will be the ultimate result?
1t doesn't require much effort to
see that. while congregations may be
enlarged during his visit the moment
he leaves the spell: leaves with him
land in short time the churches
will again resume work with the same
old original number of standpatters.
That $4,000 looms large as a pay
ment for mere vaudeville entertain
ment-and that's what Billy Sunday
furnishes when ycu analyze the pro-
position. Ss;.s. :. - ~ T. 49,.
Here's counter proposition-and
one that will rebound to the credit and
aid of the entire territory, and for
years instead OF the few weeks that
B. s. would stimulate. Ebert Hub
bard, Individually the mostread writ
er of the United States will come here
without charge to the territory; he'll
make an eyes-opel trip throughout the
islands and then write "A Little Jour-
ney to Hawaii" in his inimitable style.
This will be printed in the regular
$4,000 edition of The Fra Magazine. a
magazine whose subscribers have
money or good education, or both.
The only obligation the territory in
ours Is to purchase 25.G09 COMES Of
that magazine to be sent out to Sc
lected list of people. This will cost
$5000-and 10000 people are told, all
In one month, about the beauties of
this group of islands. -.
Hubbards story can then be taken
as text for booklet, we'll illustrated
with local pictures, and this sent out
instead of, or in addition to, the regu-
lar mailing matter of the Promotion
Committee ~" s's'.e.@.. r: -',..... -.
Here's proposition that actually
helps the whole al Hawaii, yet costs
only half as much as the B. s. propo.
sition that can help only few. Doesn't
1t seem better to spread abroad the
Gospel OF Hawaii instead of merely
rehashing the Gosper of the Church for
local hearing? r.: 1ss."ss.Ee =. =. : :

hibition-ands yet actual prohibition

BLUE BLOOD SHED.

The casualty returns from the scene of the
war reveal the fact that the blood of the no.
bility of Europe is mingling freely with that
of the peasants on the battlefelds, points out
the Vancouver Sun. Proportionately the arts
tocracy is contributing the largest number to
the toll of death. The bullets and shells that
NOW down the rank and file do not spare the
officers. There is no discrimination of birth or
position with these death dealing missiles.
Nearly every able bodied man of the so-called
upper classes is engaged in the war either with
the land or sea forces. Most of them are off
GERS and the percentages of deaths among them
has been remarkably high. In the European
countries military service is compulsory, which
accounts for so many of the nobility being in
action. Although not conscript nation, the
best families in Britain are strongly repre-
sented at the front. Austria, the haughtiest
of all nations, has suffered the most, for her
losses have fallen upon the crack regiments.
Germany, France and Russia are not much be-
hind and Britain has contributed her full quota.
Should the war be prolonged the result can
scarcely be imagined. The death of young
man may end direct line OF, princes. Titles
will pass to younger brothers or distant rela,
tiyes Direct heirs to estates will fall. The
French revolution worked marvellous changes
among the aristoeracy. Great estates were con-
fiscated and sold as small holdings.
A similar breaking up may result from the
present war, with curtailment Of class privl7
lege and corresponding increase in opportu-
mites for the tillers of the SOIL H. s.

FEEDING Waste PEANUTS To HOGS

Many peanut growers never think
OF the peanut as crop to be sold in
any way except in the form OF pork,
while others are growing the plant en-
tirely as cash crop for market pur-
poses. That there is way to do both
is shown by the experience of G. A.
Holderness of Tarboro, N c., as.told
in the Progressive Farmer.
Last year Mr.. Holderness bought
$50 pigs and turned them into the pea
nut fields after he had marketed all
that could possibly be gotten out Of
the ground. The crop of waste pea
nuts afforded grazing for these ESQ
pigs for 70 days and during this time
the pigs made an average gain of SO
pounds each. The average peanut
grower allows these waste nuts to lie
In the ground and rot, but Mr.. Holder
ness turned them into 20,750 pounds
Of pork instead.
Following the peanut pasture the
hogs were fed on corn and cottonseed
meal-some Of them on corn and tank
age-for rs days and we're marketed
In Richmond on January IA. 1914
When these hogs we're brought to the
farm they weighed 112 pounds each.
When they left 1t their weights aver
aged 22S% pounds. Their total cost,
including meal, tankage, $i04 for inoc-
ulation against cholera, freight, stock
yards charges and Sh cents per pound
on the original purchase. was 49,
S62SS. The same hogs sold for $4,-
706.59, or a net gain Of $S49.71, prac-
tically all OF which came from the
peanuts which could not have been
harvested in any other way.

Six Months of rwo.Year Term.

In November, 1912, Clyde Smith, re-
publican. was defeated for sheriff of
Kingfsher county by Charles A. Love,
democrat.
Smith refused to give up the office,
which he had held for the previous
term and Love brought mandamus
proceedings. The state supreme court
which finally received the case, de-
cided last week that Love was en-
titled to the office, and he will now
serve Cor the remaining six months
of the twoyear term. Smith has been
sheriff, though not entitled to the Of
fee, since the 1912 election.
Love filed mandamus proceedings
against Smith, but the lower court
held against him. The supreme court
in an opinion by Justice F. E. Riddle
held that the lower court had no right
to go behind the election certificate,
held by Love, in mandamus proceed
ing. The high court issued its own
peremptory writ of mandamus, direct
ing Smith to vacate.

Appeal Is Filed BY Lee.Hucklns

Alleging that the 1913 assessment
on the Lee-Huckins hotel and furnish
ings was too high IN the sum of
$12S,249, an appeal was filed in dis
trict court by the Huckins Hotel Co.
asking that the assessment of last
year be corrected to overcome this
alleged error.
The petition alleges that the prop
erty,> including undivided profits. is
worth $4,000 and that the company
so reported it to the assessor. but
that these figures were altered and
false and fictitious value substi-
tuted
The first half of the 1913 taxes has
been paid by the company, but it asks
that the excess be applied on the last
half of the years taxes. 1t is alleged
that if the over-assessment were paid,
the company would be the loser to
the extent of more than $4,000.

GARFIELD FARM BEING IRRIGATED
ENID CHAMBER OF COMMERCE is
BOOSTER OF PROJECT.
Beneath the Most Fertile Land in
State is lnexhaustlble Reservoir
Of Water.


Much interest was centered this
spring at Enid in the prospects for ir-
rigation in Garfield county. Through
the efforts of the Enid chamber of
commerce, the United States geologi-
cal survey sent A. T. Schwennessen
to Enid to make an examination of
conditions there in reference to the
underground water supply known to
exist in some parts of the country. MIR.
Schwennessen spent some time there
in January and within the past month
the geological survey has issued a bull.
letin on the water supply Of Garfield
In this bullentin is a map showing the
part of the county having the water
supply,
Enid is shown to be the center OF an
area covering more than 100000 acres
in this county, which is underlaid at
depth varying from twenty-five to
sixty feet, with an almost inexhausti
BILE supply Of pure water The system
of coarse gravel in which the water
flows is from ten to twenty feet deep.
This water supply is the same which
furnishes the city water through a
system similar to only two others in
the United States. The water by an
alysis is shown to be the purest in
the state, and the water which is
pumped direct into the city mains
without ever entering a reservoir,
The Rock Island railroad has an ir-
rigation expert, E. R. Bennett, who is
spending considerable time in Gar
field county aiding in the develop
ment of irrigation. Several farmers
have used irrigation on small scale
in this county. using this water sup
ply. Charles King. residing just westI
OF Enid has irrigated on the largest
scale having about fifty acres irrigat-
ed in the season of 1913. Most of
this land was planted to fruit and
vegetables and alfalfa. This year Mr..
King is extending his system so that
he can irrigate 100 acres. The entire
acreage is irrigated from one large

ing pumped into reservoir and from

ers the sand stratum which is nine

HOG CHOLERA FACTS.
+ +*+++++++++++++

The following list of Things to Re.
member About Hog Cholera" was pre-.
pared by DR.. L. L. Lewis of the Okla.
homa A. & NJ Collepe, Saltwater:
l. There is in Oklahoma no dis.
ease of hogs that spreads from farm
to farm as an epidemic except hog
cholera.
2. The types of the disease and
symptoms are not the same in all
outbreaks. In mild outbreaks one
half of the hogs may recover, and
those that die may linger for two
weeks
3. The actual cause of hog cholera
is not known, but it is known that the
cause, whatever 1t may be, may be
carried from farm to farm by stock,
by people on their clothing, by crows,
buzzards, hogs, etc, and by running
water,
a. That an infected farm should be
quarantined and the owner should
stay away from his neighbors' farms,
and that every one should stay away
from an infected farm.
8. That there are a great many so.
called hog cholera cures, but they do
not seem to be worth very much.
8. That vaccination is a means of
preventing hog cholera and that the
immunity produced by the use OF Sc.
rum will last for few weeks.
T. That hogs that recover from
cholera, or that have gone through an
outbreak Of the disease, are very val
liable for breeding purposes, as they
are immune to the disease.
8. That hogs well cared for and
free from parasitic troubles are less
likely to contract cholera than hogs
kept in insanitary surroundings.
8. When cholera first appears in
community not only the hogs of the
infected herd should be vacclnated,
IDut all hogs on surrounding farms
should be treated, This will place
barrier against the most common way
the disease spreads.
10. There are lot OF things to be
learned about hog cholera and its con-
troll, bnt If good use is made of what
is known, much loss can be saved.

Ordered to Grant a Dental License

District Judge ]. ]. Carney issued
writ of mandamus against the state
dental board directing that body to
issue to S. w. Bancroft. of Ardmore,
license to practice dentistry in this
state or to appear In court at once.
and show cause why the license had
not been issued. Bancroft in his ap-
plication for a writ alleged that for
several years he was a practicing den
fist at Perkins, and moved from there
to Kansas, where he remained until
he returned to Oklahoma last fall
According to the application, petition
er lost his license to practice in Okla
homa and the state dental board has
refused to issue a duplicate because
the record of the former license is
now lost. Bancroft presented to the
court the affidavit of Dr. w. L. Maui
pin who was secretary of the state
dental board in 1898 who asserts that
a license was issued to Bancroft in
that year.
