A TRAINLoAD OF RAW
 HAWAIIAN SUGAR CANE
Shipped by Rail from San Francisco to
 Atlantic Seaboard.

Philadelphia. March S.-A trainload of raw Hawaiian cane sugar, the van guard of a shipment of 250,OO0 tons, shipped by rail from San Francisco to the Atlantic seaboard, arrived at the Port Richmond freight yards of the Philadelphia and Reading railway here today. It was the first time that a train loaded with sugar ever made this journey and it also established a new record for freight trains carrying non perishable freight by making the run in fourteen days.
 The sugar, which is being shipped in trains of 50 cars, represents the largest transcontinental freight haul of any one commodity ever handled by the railroads in solid trainload lots.
 The scarcity of ships and the in creased ocean freight rates as we'll as the saving in time influenced the Ha- waiian planters to transport their product by rail. By the aIl-water route from Honolulu to this city 56 days would be required. The rail and water route took only 23 days.

Had Great Time.

Last Friday night the Editor
was in the good old town of Crab
Orchard, and believe me we had
the greatest time in our life.
The occasion was a meeting of
the Odd Fellows, who let the
word go forth that there was to
be a banquet, and about shutdown
the members and their wives be-
gan to assemble, they came in
automobiles in buggies, wagons
and on horseback. Every one
that came brought something
good to eat.
At about 7:l5 p. m. the Lodge
was called to order, and the re-
gular routine of business was
dispensed with, then they closed
the Lodge at the Odd Fellows
Hall, and retired to the Masonic
Hall where it looked as though
the whole state had been ran
sacked and all the good things
had been brought forth for the
benefit of the hungry fellows.
They were not only hungry for the
good things that had been prep
AIRED by the good ladies, but they
were hungry for the feast of
Oratory which they knew was in
store for them.
From start to finish it was a de-
cided success, and every one
present appeared to enjoy them
selves. There were about $50
present. Rev. Wyatt of the
Christian church was toastmas-
ter, and was equal to the Occa-
sion. The address of welcome
was delivered by Mr.. H. g.
