HOW TO PRESERVE GARDEN
LABELS.

Gardeners frequently have trouble
with plant labels rottirc. The labels
when used in the garden are subject
20 wet and heat during the season,
causing the portion that * in the
ground to rot, the label falls over and
* lost and the gardener loses the nainc
OF the plants. 4 good IA To preserve
wooden garden labels is 10 soak them
in a solution of sulphate of iron. Dry
the labels and then soak them in n
strong solution OF lime water. This
results in the formation Of insolublc
sulphate Of lime in the wood and pre-
serves the labels from rotting.

HHO, Sept. 15.-All indications
point to a most successful civic con-

that the time is fast approaching, the
various committees are working over
time to get everything ready for the
entertainment of the delegates. Down
in Honolulu and over on Maui and
Kauai the interest in the big civic
gathering is growing keener every
day AMI, judging from the partial lists
Of the names of the men who are COM
ing to Hilo, there is going to be a
record crowd at the gathering.
Governor Coming
Governor Pinkham, who was ex-
pected to travel on the L. S. cruiser
st. Louis, will not do so. He has
wirelessed Director William Mckay
saying that he will arrive in company
with the rest of the delegates on the
Mauna Kea next Thursday morning.
The governor will address the con-
vention and it is said that he will
have an important announcement to
make and one that will be OF interest
to the whole territory.
The long wo- King period of prepare
ton for the convention is nearly over
and next Thursday morning will see
the beginning of the end when the
good ship Mauna Kea, crowded with
good fellows, will steam alongside the
Kuhio bay wharf, there to be wei
coined by host of Hilo, kohala and
Kona people-a number of the latter
are expected to come overland to Hilo
so as to be on hand ready to act as
hosts to the visitors from the other
islands.
County Fair Progresses

by the county fair committee and that
energetic director, DR.. Elliot, backed
I'D by that Woodworking secretary, E.
G. Allen. The whole of the directors
are also on the job and Kuhio bay
wharf now looks like really busy

The arrival of the Mauna kea yes
terday morning also meant a lot to
the fair, for a number of exhibits from
the other islands arrived on the Inter
Island flagship. These exhibits are
being taken care Of and placed in the
space provided for them
The committee in charge OF the ar
rangements on the wharf has marked
out the space desired by each eXh 'bit-

and benches VIII be very wide. thus
leaving room for the thousands OF Wis
itors to the fair to walk up and down
and inspect the exhibits at their
leisure.
No Entry Fees
The directors of the fair have de-
cided to do away with all entry fees
for exhibits and it will, therefore, cost
the exhibitors nothing to place their
exhibits. The date for the closing of
the entries has also been extended
until Wednesday evening next, so that
peonle can enter any article they like

EIGHT. or ErGHrEEN. WHICH,

Senator-to-be Roethe, in his paper,
the Fennimore Times, in commenting
on President Wilson'S political eight
hour day legislation, SAYS with much
truth and logic:
An eight hour law, an eight hour
law; work daY Of eight hours-lots
of people are "hOlleriug their heads
oH" for it But let as look around a
little.
What would an eight hour law do
10 the farmers. who average fourteen
hours a day work, who never have
an Idle moment from early dawn till
dusk, who have to be up and doing
before the sun peeps over the hor-
lion and keep il up all day till the
last dog dies at night2 How would
the crops be put in, how would they
be cultivated and cared for, or how
would they be garnered II the eight
hour law applied to farmers? Verify,
there wouldn't be much doing, and
the nation would arrive at the starv-
alton point inside Of a year. There
would be nothing TO eat.
But the farmers are not the only
ones who have to deny themselves
the luxury OF only eight hours la
Dor. Take the country printer-how
many, many times does he have to
burn the midnight oil" in getting
out his paper; how many, many hours
is he required to put in in the multi
farious duties. he is called upon to
perform? Eighteen hours dav was
ou~ regulation time when the writer
were the harness. II country publish
ers stopped their labor after they had
put in eight hours, every one of them
would have to be given quarters in
the county poor house.
1t was only few years ago that we
had the agitation for the present ten
hour day. Now it is eight How long
will it be before the clamor is for
six? And then four, and then per-
haps two? To carry out the idea to
It's logical conclusion, why not get
down to no working hours at all; cut
out work entirely? Then the milleni-
um will be here.
