OLAA'S 1919 CROPS
OF. CANE STILL SAFE

Hopes are held that the ravages Of
the leafhopper on the Olaa planta-
ton on Hawaii will not be nearly so
great as was the attack on the cane
fields of the Pahala plantation on the
same island few years ago. At Pa
hala the planting of cane had almost
entirely to be given up for several
years until the pest was overcome.
At Olaa the young cane, the 1918
crop, has not yet been attacked and it
is the hope of the plantation manager
that the leafhopper can be eradicated
before this results.
These statements are based on in
formation gained BY A. w. T. Bot
tomley, of Bishops bank, which is
largely interested in the Olaa prop
erty. "The leafhopper loss may net
yet be so large as first feared. So
far the 1919 cane has not yet been
touched" he says. ..

U. S. GOVERNMENT WILL
CONTROL As PER CENT
SHIPPING BOTH OCEANS

The United States government:
through its Emergency Fleet corpora
ton, plans the control of 1000 ships,
with an aggregate tonnage of $4,000.
900 tons. Clarence H. Cooke. presi-
dent of the Bank of Hawaii, speaking
of this said:
That means that the government
will control about 43 per cent of the
shipping in the Atlantic and Pacific
against the II per cent it now controls.
At present, of the 25,000,000 tons of
shipping in the Atlantic, the govern
ment controls only 10 per cent. and
of the five and half million tons in
the Pacific, only per cent is federal
ly controlled. By the end of the war,
provided not too many of our shifs
are sunk, the United States will con.
troll over one-third Of all the shipping
of the world"

FOR THE SOLDIER

One Eastern paper gives the follow
ing account Of the work being done in
New England for the soldiers:
"Placards have been placed in ser.
eral Broadway theaters that soldiers
and sailors in uniform may have seats
at half price. Many of the restau.
rants are charging only half price
to the men in uniform. The uniformed
men are owning the town these days.
and to their credit they are conduct
ing themselves in manner that In
creases the respect OF the citizenry.
Only one case Of drunkenness of a
man in Allniform has been reported
since the draft. 1t Is not unusual to
see a rich young debutante going to
some affair in a Limousine with a
young man In an ordinary seaman's
uniform, and many soldiers encamped
about New York have their automo-
biles in nearby garages for their day
off,"

The Social Side
Of Hygiene

Society as a rule is generally careful about
the state Of their health, and they are apt to
make good use of remedies known as disease
preventires. Germicides and antiseptics are IN
cluded in this class, but the greatest care
should be exercised in using any which con-
tains poisons, unless prescribed by a physician
By reason Of its absolute safety and its
beneficial results, physicians have strongly rec
commended Tyres Antiseptic Powder. This
preparation appears to occupy a unique posi-
ton as toilet and hygienie antiseptic and is
being most fayorabiy commented upon by So
ciety, both in the States and abroad. The late
Prof W. NJ Gray, pathologfst to Providence
Hospital and microscopic to the Army Medi-
cal Museum, in discussing the merits Of the
prepar ration said: From the aboTe and other
experiments with Tyree's Antiseptic Powder, I
conclude that it is most valuable and use
full compound, and that its efficiency must be
due to its peculiar mode of manufacture and
its well balanced chemical adjustment as well
as the exceptional purity Of its ingredients

RARE WALNUT TREE FOUND.

Some time ago the secretary of the
Northern Nut Growers Association
found the hull of a wonderful walnut
that came from tree somewhere in
the Ohio Valley and offered a. sum Of
money to any one who could tell him
where this tree grew, advertising for
it in all the upper Ohio Valley papers.
A letter from Henry Bohl, near
Mowrystown, O., who owns farm on
White Oak creek that empties into
the Ohio near here says that the tree
from which this nut came crowns on
his place and is black walnut. the
nuts of which hull out exactly like the
English walnut, the kernels coming out
whole He has harvested many BUSH
els of them, but says that all of last
years crop is gone. He will save some
of the nuts from the tree this year and
send them to the secretary, or will send
them to any one who may desire to
plant them, as this particular species
of the walnut tree is extremely rare,
and he thinks he has the only one in
this section of the country.

$2.500,0o0 was earned by the Elkhorn
Coal Corporation. which is practically

owns thousands of acres. of valuable
coal lands in the Elkhorn Valley of
Kentucky.

troll of this company, the statement OF

keen interest in local financial circles

Total earnings of the Elkhorn cor
poration from all sources during the
twelve months ended December 81,
1916. We're $2,457 ,453.09, while operat-

THE BIG SANDY SLOGAN.
The Grayson Journal says:

The Grayson journal says:
Big Sandians have slogan that may
have originated in the long ago when
river-men from up Sandy and river
men from up the Ohio sometimes met
and fought at or near the junction of
the two rivers BY standing together
in self-defense the Big Sandians usu-
ally put their enemies to flight. After
the manner of that day they sometimes
boasted of these victories. Thus origi-
mated the slogan, big Sandy Against
the World"
AS the years went by there was less
fighting. Then the boasting changed
to boosting. The words of the slogan
still survive, and, in its modified mean
ing, the spirit of the slogan still sur
wives. Big Sandians still believe they
can do things, and do them well. They
still believe in each other and still
boost each other.
One of the most optimistic and act
i've of these boosters is M. f. Conley,
of the Big Sandy News. He has been
booster for more than quarter Of
century. One result of his policy Is
that his paper holds first prize of the
Kentucky Press Association as the best
eight-page weekly paper in the State.
He boosts Big Sandians wherever he
finds them, those who have gone else
where as well as those who have re-
manned at home

Union Service at BaptistChuTch

The first OF the three union services
announced for this week at the Baptist
church took place Wednesday night.
The public was kept in ignorance as
to which OF the three participating pas
tors would preach the first night and
no announcement has been made as to
who will preach at the other services.
The song service was led by Rev. a.
C. Bostwick, of the NJ. L. Church, and
it was not until he called Rev. w. II
Foglesong to the pulpit that the secret
was out Rev Bostwick had already
explained the object of the meetings.
They grew out OF two facts-the ah
solute harmony. existing between all OF
Louisa's active ministers, and the &C.
casion OF Easter week. The pastors
were moved to bring together the peo-
pie of all congregations. and outsiders
as well, in extra services appropriate to
the great season now upon us. Rev.
Foglesong chose a subject rather than
ia text" From Gethsemane TO Golgotha"
The sermon breathed the spirit of iSas
terrible, with practical treatment and
present day application. 1t was wholly
appropriate and we believe has served
to bring his hearers into a better ap-
probation of the sacred season now at
hand.
There We're a number of prayers and
songs. The congregation was largc,but
there was room for more. Everybody
