When Turtles Were Big.

Of the turtles it may be said that
they represent the most ancient type Of
all vertebrates, resembling closely as
they do the reptiles Of their kind which
existed so far back as the mesozoic
era. There were sea tortoises during
that epoch which measured twenty
feet in spread Of fippers, while some
tertiary tortoises were not less big in
body, measuring twelve feet from head
to tail.

Never Deceive an Animal.

In Farm and Fireside appears the

animals:
"You never can train colt, calf,
or any animal, wild or tame, unless
you gain it's entire confidence and af-
lection. To do this you must never
deceive it, not even for fun, and al
ways protect it and show that you
love it.

through his stomach and the road to
the affection of an animal is by way
Of it's taste.

Mock Marriages In India.

A third marriage is considered I'M
lucky in certain parts of India. A
fourth marriage is not. So when a man
wishes to become benedict after two
previous trials and still evade supersti-
ton, he evokes very clever scheme.
Mr.. Man Of India goes through a cere-
mony with bird or animal or flower
as the bride in order that his next wife
will be the fourth and not the third
venture.

Wharf.-The last industry to be effected
by war or rumors of war, and the first to recov-
er from it, is the vast business of supplying the
world with food. The farmer needs your idle
funds to carry on this enterprise.
The farm is the very foundation of wealth. A
mortgage on an improved farm represents the
highest grade of approved security because it is
based on the earth and it's fullness. The kind
that wont turn pale when strikes throw men
out of employment or 'war extra throws a
holder of stocks into fit.
For select first mortgages on improved
farms see or address r. j. Penhallegon,

Dry rot in the bowling alleys of the

the city of S105,000 reapproprated by
the last legislature for the Honolulu
sewer and water works loan fund,
Mayor Lane and Chairman Larsen of
the city water and sewer works COM
mittee called upon the chief executive
of the territory yesterday and urged
immediate appointments by the latter
to the Oahu loan fund commission, ap-
pointments which the executive has
long delayed making.
1t was pointed out that If the ter
ritcrial head does not make these ap-
pointments soon and thus allow the
city to draw on the loan fund commits
sion for part of the S105.000, the
unsanitary condition surrounding Nu-
uanu stream, where part Of the sewer
age is now emptying, will continue.
In addition to that there may be a
large deficit in the city fund for sew
ers and water works. and there may
be a shortage in the water SUPPLY.

THE MEXICAN PLOT. !"

:
The story Of Mexican plot to seize a large
part of New Mexico, Arizona and Texas sounds
like the vaporings of a superheated brain.
Therefore it is probably trne, for the vaporings
Of superheated brains are quite common south
Of the border just now.
What brains Carranza, Villa, Zapata, 0bre-
gon and the rest of the jitney generals possess
are chronically superheated Next to peTferyid
aspirations their most marked characteristics
are lack of scruple and inclination to run when
the fighting begins to get hot. Therefore
Mexico is torn by personal factions and it would
be as impossible for the doughty generalissimos
to carry out any concerted plot against the
United States as for old Porfirio Diaz to come
back to life.
The Mexican plot" is chiefly noteworthy
because it illustrates the degree of esteem in
which the United States is held by the various
'istas which carry on their banditry for profit
and pleasure That Carranza, who had a hard
enough time defeating the alarmed, undisci-
plined, dissolute unframed outlaws of Villa
and Zapata, could even contemplate a success
FIJI movement against the United States shows
how little Uncle Sans warnings are regarded
how insolenty the revolutionists look upon
The "watchful waiting" policy, SO far as
Mexico has been concerned, is admittedly an
absolute failure. The republic has drifted
from bad to worse The people are outraged,
starving, without hope of the future. The one
advantage in the administrators Mexican
policy is that it stamped the United States as
fatty averse to territorial aggression, as de-
terInined to maintain peace. That reputation
has been beneficial to the country since the Eu-
ropean war broke out, much as some people
may doubt it.. 1t has also cemented friendship
with the Pan American powers and united
America need not worry so much about Europe.
The time has passed, however, when our pa
cifie intentions toward Mexico can evoke any re
sponsive movement among this faction-saddled
people. Their bandit leaders know no law but
might no truth but that driven home by sol
diery. Growing holder and holder, the ma
rauding bands along the border are committing
outrages against American citizens and Ameri-
ran property on American soil.
The administration recent moves indicate
that Intervention is not far away First there
comes the successful plan Of securing joint
action by the Pan-American. powers, 80 that
none of the suspicious republics Of Central or
South America can accuse the United States
of trying to grab Mexico. Next there is the
movement of troops and warships. A show of
force viii probably be made along the border
and in the ports If this show is not sufficient
to unsaddle the generalissimos and guarantee
the workings of the Pan mefiean> peace plan
decided upon by the conferees, tsis reasonable
to suppose that armed Intervention will be the
next step. Possibly President Wilson will ask
for further joint action by the American
powers, and we shall have the Pan American
Allies garrisoning Mexico City
