AND RETURNS TO SENDER

Especial Star-B Bulletin Correspondence
HILO. July 2s.-Tax Assessor Ship
man Is beginning to think that his
luck must be changing for the better.
Things are coming his way lately, and
on wednesday morning last he got
one of the most pleasant surprises OF
his life when q letter he wrote last
June. which contained his check Tor
$50. was returned to him from the
dead letter office at Pittsburg. Penn
sylvania. 1t was surprised man who
opened the envelope and drew out
his own check
II seems that some time ago Mr..
Shipman had q Japanese contractor
working some cane land for him at
Puma. The man was financed by Ship
man and, at one stage of the game,
asked for $3.50. Shipman made out s
check and placed II in an envelope
addressed: ", Mt. View, Puma
The letter was mailed in Hilo. and
that was the last heard OF the matter
for some time. The Japanese claimed
that he meyer received the letter. the
bank said that the check had never
been presented and the whole affair
remained mystery.
7 i A little time ago the japanese threw
up the contract and departed for pas
lures new. incidentally leaving debt
OF several hundred dollars. Shipman
wondered IL the check had reached
its right destination, and If it would
some day turn up showing that it had
been cashed at some store on THU
island At any rate. payment was not
stopped. and Shipman just added thu
$50 to his experience" account.
When on Wednesday the letter was
returned to Shipman he gasped with
surprise and wondered what on eartl
had happened. The address piainl,
shows mt View. Puma" and how OF
earth It was sent to Pittshurg, Penn
sylyania. is the puzzle.

Henry Bergh on the Dog

What can be said of this inesti-
mable creature that has not been
said already? The language of pane
gyric would be exhausted before his
excellent virtues could be described
as they merit. His fidelity, his cour-
age, his vigilance, his gratitude his
generosity, each the theme Of merit
ed praise, win our love and respect
The favorite Of children, the chosen
companion of women, the watch and
guardian of our homes; the guide OF
the blind, the participation Of mans
excursions by land and sea, the de-
fender of the shepherds fold, the de-
tector OF the thief and robber, and
the fleet courser that transports the
Eskimo in his sIedge over the Arctic
waste of snow.
If such a benefactor to man has
not special claim to his protection
and kindness, nay, to atIectionate re-
gard, what has? He ventures life
and limb in our service; he explores
the mountain waste and faces the
wintry' tempest in search of the
traveller that has been overwhelmed
by the snow-drift; he springs Into the
foaming torrent to rescue its threat
ened victim from destruction; he
breasts the boisterous surges Of the
ocean to convey rope to the ship
wrecked mariners, by which he
achieves their deliyerence; he recog-
nizes his beloved master after twenty
years absence, and expires at his feet
in a paroxysm Of JOY at his return.

BEST TEST FOR ACID SOILS
Wisconsin Expert Tells Of Device Re-
Gently Perfected to Tell Amount
Of Lime Required.

(By ID. TRUOG, Wisconsin Experiment
Station)
A simple little device has been Dor
fected which promises to be of great
value in improving and developing
many Of the soils. BY Its use 1t Is
possible to tell how acid q soil Is and
how much lime will have to be applied
to correct this Rcidity.
It consists of an alcohol burner, q
cup to measure soil, q graduate to
measure water, = few strips OF paper,
and some chemicals which can be pur-
chased at any drug store. 1t is mo
trick" to mix the water, soil and
chemicals together in q flask and set
this mixture over the alcohol burner
until 1t boils. Then by laying one OF
the strips of paper, soaked in another
chemical, over the mouth OF the mask
for two minutes, observing the color
tho paper turns and comparing this
with q card of standard colors, the
farmer knows definitely how much
acid is in his soil. The gas given OF
by the boiling mixture, colors the
strips Of this paper in shades from
light yellow to black, depending on
how much acid is present to set free
the gas.

LOOKING AFTER GOOD ROADS
spIItIoa Drag Can Be Employed to
Good AdVantaee-Prompt, lntelli-
gent Action Needed.

Every farmer should spend some
time looking after the roads. The
splitlog drag can be used to good ad-
vantage. Road dragging at the proper
time will insure good dirt roads the
greater part of the year. All 1t needs
is prompt, intelligent action. 1t must
however. be done at the right time
to get the best results.
Yes! 1t is true in many places that
the road dragging should be done by
the county but every farmer should
take enough interest in the community
welfare to see that the road In front
of his farm is gone over with split
log drag.
There is no other one thing that
would add to our advancement, both
commercial and social as much as
would good roads, Spend q few hours
at this season of the year, when the
frost is coming out of the ground and
the wet from rain and snow Is drying
up, with a splitlog drag and 1t will
result in better roads, q good adver-
'tisement for your farm and its owner.

NEW YORK'S IMPROVED ROADS
State Spending One Hundred Million
Dollars on Hlgh-CIass Thorough
fares-Money Well Spent.

The state of New York is spending
one hundred millions of dollars in
building good roads. That seems like
an enormous sum of money, but there
was a demand for good roads, and the
results so far secured are worth all
the effort.
Over fifty million dollars have al
ready been spent and about as much
more is now available, and in few

what the man-with-botil-iegs-shot-otf

less overwhelmed by the tremendous
ness of the conflict, though the names
of Joffre, Kitchener, French, Won

drift through occasionally In praise
or condemnation. AS matter of
fact, the heroism is of the quiet
kind. Fighting, to the men in the

they are going about that duty with
the quiet heroism Of the superhero,

what the world might think of their

Big Barnes Circus Coming

The AL G Barnes big three ring
wild animal circus will exhibit in
Liberal on Monday. October IS.
Much can be claimed for the origin
ality and genuine merit of this big
circus. There is all the pomp and
splendor of the clrcusses we have
known in the past. All the glittering
tinsel, sawdust rings, inspiring music
and grand entrance OF stately horses,
ponies, elephants, performers and
clowns. Peanut and pink lemonade
vendors cry their wares and add TO
the general good spirit: yet, when the
performance starts one instantly
recognizes a wide departure from the
conventional, stereotyped routine
which has prevailed since the earliest
days Of tented entertainment
Instead of the usual, one sees the
unusual in the Barnes program. The
principal acts are done by educated
wild and domestic animals in two
rings and big steel barred arena.
These animal actors number GOO and
are trained to an amazing degree of
proficiency. Such vim and dash do
they put into their work that not a
dull moment Is experienced from the
grand cayalcade entry until the final
group of man-eating lions are driven
to their cages.
There are acrobats, jugglers, aerial
performers, high divers, bare back
riders and all other forms of circus
entertainment, but, instead of people
appearing in the acts, wild and do
nestle animals take their places.
Lions, leopards, punas, and bears
ride galloping horses; sea lions juggle
balls and other articles, dogs and
monkeys jump from the top of the
tent into nets; elephants act as
clowns and do many other comical
things; high school horses and beau.
tiful ponies appear in brilliant dances
and military drills. in fact almost ev-
cry species Of animal is shown as an
actor.
Twenty.four man-eating African
lions are introduced in one act the
most sensational wild animal act
ever shown. Sixty tigers, leopards,
pumas, jaugars and bears are present.
