WORTH DOING AND REPEATING.

The Star Bulletin joins heartily with its
neighbor the Advertiser in praise of the Flower
Show of Saturday and yesterday and in the
llope that not more than year. will pass With.
out another, such splendid display. sTosthe
timely comment ofthe Advertiser We would
add the suggestion, already discussed by sew
eral flower growers, that each year Honolulu
should give great floral show which can be
advertised abroad and further give publicityto
the charms of the islands. 1t should be if pos
sible on q date several months distant from
Carnival week, to give full scope to its own
beauty and Importance.
A public horticultural garden all the year
around and splendid flower exhibit once dur
ing the year would wonderfully stimulate the
growing of rare and exotic plants and blossoms,
and would give recognition also to the artistry
and helpfulness of those who helped make this
years show by the Outdoor Circle such an en-
phatic success.

THE MAN OVER FIFTY IN WARTIME.

Austria's need for men must be more press
ing than is generally known in the United
States, for men between the ages of 80 and IS
have recently been called to the colors.
The Associated Press correspondent al
Vienna, summing up the discussion in the Aus
triaH press aroused by this significant move
says that the view had been generally held that
the man at fifty had passed into old age, SO far
as military value was concerned, but the war
is said to have proven that this position is I'M
tenable.

tons requiring physical dexterity, the man over
fifty is apt to be failure, though the we'll
preserved worker of that age is generally still
capable of great endurance.
The experience in the army is that men up
to thirty are generally less hardy than men up
TO fifty. In addition to being as yet far from
set, " that IS, entirely beyond the
growing stage, the younger men often reduce
their endurance and physical vigor, generally
|by incorrect eating. Older men are not in the
habit of doing this it is asserted.
But the Young men sin also in other respects.
Often they are Indifferent to hardship when
they should not be; while the older men see to
it that their feet are always dry and warm, the
younger soldiers overlook this habitually. With
the officers, the older soldier is the fayorite

RICH STRIKE IS MADE AT NOME

NOME, Jan. 2O.-Although little information has been given out in- side information is to the effect that Maus & Co.,, working on Dexter creek, have located rich pay. The details of the strike have been kept quiet, as the prospectors fear litigation, but from a reliable source, it is learned that they have three feet of pay that will aver age 25 cents to the pan. The pay is found within five feet of the grass roots, so that it is easy ground to work.
 The strike is within a short dis tance of Kathleen creek, where a rich strike was made last winter There is much prospecting in progress in the district now and others have hopes of finding the same pay.
 Maus & Co. have sunk three holes a hundred feet apart and have pay in all of them.-Ex.
