w. T. Myers of Hatfield Makes a
 Marked Success on Farm.

w T. Myers, with two sons. Rex, i3, and Dudley, 8, drove up from sheir farm near Hatfield on Friday, bringing load of pie pumpkins. While visiting The Star, Mir. Myers was asked about his farm and erops and q summary of the information is about as follows:
 Mir. Myers bought his farm of 255 acres about fifteen years ago. for Si ,000, all on time. He now has 100 acres in cultivation, the balance be- ing pasture and timber. Much of this pasture is in bermuda grass.
 On the cultivated land Mr. Myers produced this year i3 bales of cot ton which he sold at 28 cents a pound and up; 30 acres of corn that produced 25 bushels to the acre, and this corn, fodder and all, is in his big barn; 300 gallons of sorghum and other minor crops. For in- stance, on one acre alone there was grown ? tons of stock beets, valued at $30; 5 bushels of corn worth $50, about i250 pie pumpkins, worth $50, and ? bushels of dried beans worth $20.
 As an incident, MT. Myers states that when his corn was cut and put in the barn, he moved about 40C bales of good crabgrass from the field. His barn, by the way, is 52 by B feet in size, with a il-foot shed all around
 In addition to the usual farm ac- tivities, Mr. Myers has 70 head of cattle, ' head of horses, i6 head of hogs and lots of poultry, and he as serts that if prices for farm pro- ducts stay up to the present mark a few years more the farmers will be loaning money to the government instead of the government making loans to the farmers.

WAS BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.
MiXup of Films Caused Cancellation
 of Birth of Nation"

Two big audiences were disap- pointed Thursday by mixup of the films of the greatest picture story of the day, Birth of a Nation
 Before the matinee performance Mir. Blair of the Lyric learned from the representative of the film com pany that the titles of the i2 films had become detached and lost. The representative was unable to sort them out and this caused so much confusion and delay that the enter tainment was spoiled.
 When this was apparent, Mir. Blair cancelled the play and refunded the money to all who had bought tick cts.
 To show the popularity of the great play, at 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon all but 9 seats had been sold for the night performance.
 It is hoped the Birth of Nation" may be secured for Mena in a few weeks

BLANCHE Sweet
NOW At LIBERTY

Blanche Sweet is one of the popu.
lar stars of Paramount pictures but
it is a safe guess that her popularity
would be greatly enhanced if, occa-
sionally, Jesse L, Lasky would send
this star to the Liberty theater in q
drama that has something cheerful
about tiff only the title. Those
Without Sim IS the Pleasing cog
nomen of the current Sweet-Liberty
attraction and the play is a great deal
more interesting than the name would
Indicate
Those Without Sin is a story o..
the thrilling day. of the Civil war
and is largely set in the South. It
tells, in one instance, of a Northern
officer insulting Southern belle and
being submitted to an old-fashioned
dose of tar and feathers eX-
ternally. This is but one of the thrill
ers that are always guaranteed with
a wartime picture. especially one with
a Southland setting 1t is of interest
to note that this star was first secured
by the Lasky forces on account o.
being a Southern type" her initial
Lasky picture being The Warrens Of
Virginia. This is about the first like
film she has appeared in since.

HAWAII COLLEGE
TO HAVEDRAIN

The first .step toward the con-
struction of a storm sewer drain
across the frounds of the College of
Hawaii was taken by the board Of
supervisors after months of contro-
versy Wednesday night in the form of
a resolution appropriating $199 to pay
for the preliminary engineers work.
The entire work, according to Super
visor Arnold, will cost the city and
county between $4,000 and $4,000.
In explaining the situation to the
new members of the board Arnold
said that the improvement of Manoa
valley has caused a much larger
amount of rain water to flow across
the college grounds. The old board
had attempted to get out of paying
for the drain as it had been decided
by the attorneys and engineers Of
fees that the city was responsible,
the finance committee would have to
raise the money.

VAMPIRE STAR
IS BACK AGAIN

Theda Bara is back again at the
Hawaii theater in one of her old
time characteristic offerings, The
Vixen" 1t has been a long interval
between vampire appearances on the
part of this actress and there appear
ed to be an indication that she had
forsworn this type of Characterization.
Not so, however, and the many ad-
mirers of this peculiar star will again
welcome her back as home wreck
er," although she fails, in part, in her
treacherous undertaking:
Elsie Drummond (Bara) has one
idea in life and that is to marry
money. She finds a victim and the
fact that he is the affianced of her
sister makes no difference. By her
customary wiles, lies land forged let
tiers she wins, is wed and taken abroad
by her hUsband--a secret service Of
fetal. They return to Washington
and the sister is again about to be
married. Elsie, the lust Of conquest
still strong with her, again seeks to
win her sisters lover.
The latter effort proves successful
in but one point-Elsie is unmasked.
Through the good offices of her sister
the lover refrains from telling all TO
the husband. A truly Theda Bara
offering that pleases all.
