ENEMIES OF TREES
 IN LARGE NUMBERS
Weather Conditions Have Beer Favorable for Reproduction of
 Plant Lice or Aphids.

This season plant lice or aphids on trees and shrubs are more abundant than in many years.
 Weather conditions have been very favorable for their reproduction aud very unfavorab!e fer the reproduction of their parasitic enemies.
 Many of the aphids in normal years attracted very little attention.
 In abnormal years artificial methods of control must be used to keep them within bounds.

Fruit Safe Says Renfro.

Prospects are excellent for an alb
undant fruit crop. according to I.
c. Renfro. of Sulphur. Oklahoma, a
member Of the state board OF agricul
ture, who says that so far there is
nothing to fear. The fruit growers
should be careful to spray their trees
and take every precaution possible
to destroy the insects that may be
brought out by the warm weather.
Mr.. Renfro says he does no believe
the late frosts will occur this week,
though the danger from that source
will not be entirely removed for sew
eral weeks to come. He recalls that
twice during the last twenty years
there has been killing frost in the
latter days April or the first of May.

1t is the consensus of opinion of
about fifty farmers whom the News
editor has talked with recently that
this couny will raise a banner yield
of oats this year. The recent rains

Bile Bill at Biiou

During the IL weeks that the Ray
mond Teal Musical Comedy Company
has played in Honolulu, Fritz Fields.
the clever comedian and producer of
the aggregation, has essayed more
than 20 different and distinct roles.
The patrons of the Biiou theater to-
night viii be given an opportunity of
witnessing Fields in an entirely dit.
ferent character from any that he has
ever portrayed here-taht of German
comedian.
AS Louie Shultz," wealthy and
eccentric German, Fields plays an inn
portant part in The Bargain Hunt
ers," an up-to-date trayesty on the
modern department store. This show
is one of two separate and distinct
musical comedies which will be put
on at the Bijou theater tonight Both
of these playlets are said to be the
biggest laugh producers in the Ray
mond Teal repertoire.
The second offering for the even.
ing's entertainment will be THE Bat
tie of Vanilla"
This show is a scream says the
management, being nothing more or
less than a hodge-podge of riotous
fun, clean comedy and an attractive
bunch of pretty and tuneful song hits.
The Irish, Hebrew and Swiss navies
come in for a lot of good natured BAN
tering and as an admiral of the He
brew navy Roy Kinslow is immense.
During the course OF the big double

'KINDLING' At
LIBERTY PROVES
BIG CROOK PLAY

Charlotte WaikerssStfe Margaret
Ellington of the scresav is making her
local debut at the Liberty in the great
Ellington masterpiece, ''Kindling." It
will be difficult for anyone who has
seen Miss Illington's portrayal of Mag
gle Schultz, Charles xKenyon's great
est stage characterize believe that
i-she has a peer, but It'll is fact. Char
lotte Walker, in the film version of
''Kindling," earns the right to compari-
son with one of Americas leading
dramatic artists. s. ,. 81.
Probably the facts that "Kindling"
is a Crook play" that it was Margar-
ct Illington's first successful vehicle
after her return to the stage from
honeymooning are to some extent due
its sustained popularity. However,
the chief reason is the fact that it is
Charles Kenyon's greatest dramatic
work-and he has written a number
of good ones-and that in Maggie
Schultz he has brought to the stage
and screen type that is far from I'M
common in the great tenement dis
tricts of any large city, but that is
entirely unknown to the well-to-do
classes. Kenyon paints the more I'M
fortunate brothers and sisters of hui
manity; he paints them with all their
virtues and with all their faults. They
are real folks taken from life for the
edification and education of those on
the other side" Kenyon had an OBJ
iect in view when he wrote Kind

ent to all who see the. picture.
