Oakland County Republicans at the

look with much favor upon the guber
material candidacy of Frank b. Leland

Leland was born on a farm in Rose
township, this county; in fact for a
number OF years has owned and operat-
ed the farm on which his boyhood was
spent, so it is but natural that Oakland
County should have more than a pass.

THE water question in Paw

a reserve for fire protection, but
there is not a drop for the lawns

if additional wells at the plant

AMERICA, THE CANDY NATION"

America is known the world over as THE candy nation" and &C
cording to foreigners, the average American spends tire day imbibing
ice cream sodas and munching bonbons
But nov, say the Philadelphia North American, medical science
declares this is the secret OF the energy and strenuous life OF the Am
eican, and that the strenuous he becomes the sweets he
sumed yearly in the United States might be increased to the improve
ment of the nation. King Candy schence says, is an athletic trainer: a
business partner that puts courage and energy into man: a bold
fighter of the demon, Rum and al heart specialist.
The muscles of the body require sugar. and the more a ma or
woman brings his or her muscles into play, the more they demand
sweets to stimulate them and thus the craving for candy arises. The
heart also requires sugar as a mild strmuant; hence THE heart IS n
reality a great muscle bag, and the la who has a physical test OF
endurance before him is conscientously warned of the need OF extra
sweets by a craving for candy % extra sugar in his coffee.
Thus the strenuous American raves and requires far more sweets
than the less athletic or LOT phegmatc lei ofo other countries.
THE candy shop is also a rival to the saloon, or the man who
munches O chocolates and takes an extra mount OF syrup o n his

RAISING
INDUSTRY Is To
SOON TAKE BOOM

The legume raising industry stands
good chance of increase next year,
according to A. T. Longley of the Ter
ritoriaI Marketing Division.
The division now has orders on
hand for seed to plant $50 acres on
Oahu and. counting 100 pounds to the
acre this would be a $4,000 pound
order.
The demand at the present time for
the legumes, such as COW peas, jack
beans, velvet beans and sofa beans, is
far greater than the supply in the
islands, due to the increasing prac-
tise of rotating with sugar-cane and
pineapple.
F. G. Krauss, on Maui, is practically
the only person in the territory who
grows the iegumes to any extent COM
mercially and he, too, has more orders
than he can fill, according to Long
ley. ...
Il will have to send to the Pacific
coast for the seed, or part of it" said
Longley, but hope this will not
occur next year" ..-.. = .- ....
Since the free sugar scare has
passed plantation owners have in
creased the acreage of legumes, says
Longley, as well as use of fertilizers
Legumes are plants that take nitro
gen directly from the air through
their leaves. Alfalfa and clover are
the greatest legumes. The nitrogen
is stored in the soil for other crops
whose nitrogen is obtained through
the roots. ....... ~.
