\ Really, | hadn't noticed them be-
fore | took them as pictures. moth
ing more. Perhaps my eye or mind
has a "blined" spot to sugges-
tions of pruriency. for representations
OF the nude always appeal to me from
the beauty side only.
Since my earliest study of the hu-
man form, have looked upon every
i part of it with admiration. respect
and even reverence, impressed anew
h by its adequacy TO honorable func-
Il ton.
II | cannot for the life Of me see why
the picture of naked body should
strike any one with terror as it seems
1 to do.
i Perhaps such persons belong to the
class Josh Billings says would look
at anything pervided they seen it
through keyhole."
AS to the harm of it, in my opin-
ion there is none.
The innocent immature ought to
| see more unclothed nature. 1t is
clothes, immodest partial cover
] ing, drapery, which are psychological
| ly harmful and suggestive.
/ Not Nature as God makes it for US:
j the fine, symmetrical lines, the grace
of Woman's breasts, suggesting mo-
| therhood and the tenderest and holi-
i est of relations, the flush and beauty
of healthy skin; truly it is an evil,
jaundiced eye that sees evil in such
artistry
| Strange as 1t may be, it is general
ly women who object to the portrayal
of their own unclothed beauty; who
impose evil upon good; who, like ra-
dunn rays, penetrate into Interior
depths that others do not discern.
| 1t is trite to say you can always
| find what you are looking for.
And, after over a quarter of a cen
| fury of study and observation of the
human body in health and disease. |
am more than ever convinced that
| those who are damaged by looking
upon it in it's pristine nakedness have
moral "kink" that needs to be
Strengthened out.
- II coffee raising in KOna ever pays
| the man who raises it. the sparsely
settled lands of North and South Ko-
ma will soon attract desirable Ameri-
can families. ..-..
Ten and 20-acre tracts will go to
farmers who are already here, and to
those who shall come. ....t.. +.
Aside from chicken raising, which
has not yet been made paying in
dustry lowing to mongoose, high
freights and other obstacles), what
can homesteader here do to make
living? .... =. .....
There is absolutely nothing else by
which he can pay for keeping the
weeds out of his patch. 49,.
At present land rentals are too
high, and land itself (if there be any
to SELL is ridiculously high.
There is no reason why land in
Kona should be high. And il there
were no great landed estates and i'm
mense leased tracts there would be
plenty of land at a low price. ..-. :.
The homestead tracts in South Kona
to which a good road has been made,
look alluring. They are alluring,
treaeherously alluring; but not to any
man who knows what they won't
raise.
Except in coffee, then. where is the
hope for the Kona farmer?
The view is magnificent, enough to
inspire worse poets than come; the
climate is salubrious, comfortable;
simple living is not more expensive
than elsewhere; but that is all.
The farmer will find it necessary
to clear a heavy growth of trees and
rocks at the start; he will have to
fight rapid growth all the time. Taro
and a few vegetables like carrots, cab
bages and sweet potatoes can be
grown. Aside from mangoes, bananas
and pineapples, there will be no fruit.
No grain. No hay, no corn. no po-
tatoes, no pumpkins.
Chicken feed, horse feed. COW feed,
hog feed will have to be bought. And /
where will the money come from that
buys these necessaries? | would say
that there is one chance for the home
steader to make money in KoBa, and
that is in-sugar stock!
| do not know that any member of
my family since 1886 has ever used
either one of the two coatS-of-arms
furnished by our printed genealogy.
Jonathan Goodhue, who made more
money than most of the rest of the
tribe twho have had strange indiffer.
ence to wealth., interested himself i'll
looking up the early history of the
family in Essex, England. and he IN
earthed these crests and figures of an.
cient heraldry.
