COMMENT AND SUGGESTIONS
In THE WORLD OF FINANCE
BY HENRY cLEWs.

After pointing out the reasons why
the American and European world is
about to enter upon a new era. pas
sing briefly over the tariff and cur
rency measures, Henry Clews takes
up in his annual financial review, Just
reaching here, the excellent crop har-
vested and shows the reasons why the
market should strengthen and bus
mess over the country become normal
again.
The nation enjoyed one great bless
which proved better than earlier re-
ports indieated.i The total value of
Agricultural products Of the year has
been estimated at &c. 10000. 600, which
about equalled the previous season !,
The value OF twelve leading crops
was given at nearly $4,000, coo, 900, or
more than $50, 900 ahead OF a year
.ago--a very satisfactory result when
we consider that the comparison is
made with a bumper corn crop Of 1872
Our corn, cotton and wheat crops all
proved to be large, and brought good
prices. This indicates that the agri-
cultural classes, the backbone OF the
West and South. are enjoying prosper
ity. There was no disastrous defici-
ency in any important crop, except the
animal industries. Meats continue
scarce and high, and as yet there has
been no decrease of importantance in
the high cost of food. which is the
largest item in the family expenses of
the bulk of our population. The dear
food problem is one that can only be
solved by wise study Of economic
methods. Legislation can do little.
High prices are somewhat due to pop

WHEN Is OPIUM
.SMOKERADMTTED
ITO E"'EKPEM?

Whether a Chinese who has smoked
opium for the last 10 or Is years is
qualified TO testify as an opium ex.
pert was the question brought before
Federal Judge Clemens and u. s. Dis.
trict Attorney jeff McCarn this morn
ing by Attorney Rawlins, who is de-
tending Kafmi Iokia, the Hilo police
man on trial before a jury in federal
court today.
Kaimi is accused of confiscating q
quantity of opium taken from Peter
Hartung at Hilo last July, when that
worthy is alleged to have stepped off
the steamship Columbia. and selling
the dope to several Chinese residents
Of Hiio, keeping the money for his pri.
Sate use. One of the Chinese who
bought some of the poppy juice from
Kaimi was on the witness stand this
morning and was called upon to say
whether the stuff he sampled was the
real article. He replied in the af.
tlrmative.. Rawlfns objected, and cit;
ing aHformer case which arose IN the
came court several years ago, insist
ed the only one entitled to say
whether q given material was opium
would be chemist who had made "a
careful ANALYSIS of the drug. -
The court finally surmounted the
perplexity by deciding that the witness.
was entitled to say what he thought
the drug was. that counsel for de-
PENDANT might cross-question him as
to his expert knowledge, the govern.
ment might offer expert testimony If
it chose, and the jury should finally
decide whether all the evidence was,
sufficient to prove that the drug was
actually opium.

sentenced elm to 80 dsys Imprisonment

setting fires in dry brush heaps with

terminate them. The fate of this law
violator should be warning to all
others who are careless or Indifferent

Young Franklin, in jail at CharlevoiX
on the charge of robbing relative at
East Jordan who had befriended him,
turns out to be a well matured crook.
Up to last week, when the truth con-
cerr'lg him was CLEANED from the
police records of various points. the
judge thought seriously of extending
clemency by parole. Now he goes
back to Detroit where he WIFI have to
answer to a more serious charge than
that for which he is booked in this
county.
Franklin was in the south operating
with pal, and was kicked off train
at Chattanooga by brakeman. From
there he beat his way to Detroit where
in company with another crook he ap-
propriated an automobile. He was
arrested by deputy sheriff Delaurier.
The officer, in the goodness of his heart
took an interest in the boy and through
his efforts parole was granted. De-
laurier took him home, clothed him and
boarded him for six weeks. Then
Franklin disappeared, and with him
went purse containing $40.
Then Franklin, with two pals, broke
into the Globe Furnishing Co.'S store in
Detroit and stole goods to the value of
$1,000. From there he worked his way
north, the East Jordan escapade follow

THE APPLE RED BUG

Michigan has at last acquired the fa-
nous red bugs of the apple, that have
caused so much activity in New York.
The present spring has shown their
presence in the central part of the state
on apple, though just how far they
spread, is not known. 1t is of course
to be expected that sooner or later they
would reach us and perhaps we have
escaped as long as could be expected
The first case was found by Mr.. G. c..
Woodin, member of the Department
oil Entomology at the Agricultural Col
lege, while examining trees for scale.
The bugs are Matching out now and are
crawling about. One species is bright
red in color while the other has black
ish markings. They are very small as
yet, being about lie of an inch long.
The bugs pierce the young fruit as soon
as il sets and either cause il to drop or
else deform it, The leaves are also
curled by the creatures. As to the con-
troll, tobacco preparations have proven
the, most satisfactory Nicotine or nic-
otine sulphate (back leaf 4O) the latter,
one to eight hundred, with a little soap
added, have proven successful in kill
ing the nynphs, after once hatched
out and before the adult stage is
reached. A spray put on at this time
has the further advantage of killing
many of the plant lice or aphids at the
same time.

ROAD BEE DAY
A Proclamation by Governor
Ferris.

In 1913 the townships of Michigan
raised s4,33G, 029 for the Improvement
and repair of highways; A counties
under the county road system levied
county road taxes amounting to ,62l,-
63l and the State appropi lated sS,010,-
0JJ for the payment of State rewards,
making a grand total of Sj,757, 10
which was raised by d rect taxation
and expended on the rural highways.
Added to this, many townships and
counties raised money by bonding and
many public spirited citizens gave iree-
ly in money ard labor, so that it is a
low estimate to say that at least seve.
.ais Lsus oil doilaIS were expended ..

first "Roau Bee'DD ever held in this
State It was q success; wet pieces o.
road were Ifaiucd logs, roots, stump.
and stones were removed from tAe
roadway; bad stretches of clay were
sanded bad pieces OF sand were clayed
gravel was hauled; road drags were set
to work and altogether so much en-
thusiasm was aroused that many farm
ers put in full week instead OF one
day. By this concerted effort some 200
miles of highway in eastern Michigan,
which in some places was very bad,
w2s made into a very passable road
