Sir: I am sure you would Ike to
know how our garden looked last
term. The garden was covered with
trees and rocks.
AS we like to be In this garden con-
test We cut the trees down with saws
and caneknivea. The stumps were
dug out by means Of hoes and picks.
A few days later the trees and weeds
were burned.
After we had dug The stumps out Of
the ground our next work was to re-
more the rocks from the field. Il. was
an awful job but we did the work
just the same. Some Of the rocks
were three to four feet In the ground
and by means Of hoes and picks We
succeeded in getting them out easily.

~. :. .,Konala, Hawaii, Jan. 5, 1917.
Editor HonolulH Star-Bulletin.
: Sir Honomakau School will ENTER
the -Sar-Bulletin's school farm con-
test.
. For long time this school has been
very greatly efamped for land. There
are three school buildings OF three
rooms each and a cottage occupied by
three teachers on less than an acre Of
land. The, consequence has been that
all the space mot needed for school
buildings was needed for Fairgrounds,
leaving no room for gardens. ..-
About four acres of land adjoining
the original tract has Just been acquir-
ed. Negotiations for an exchange
with All Yu, the owner Of this land,
had been carried on by the land de-
partment of the territory for some
time, but it was only when Miss Tay-
lor returned from. Honolulu after the
holidays that we. knew definitely that
the deeds necessary to the transac-
ton had been prepared. Consequent
" no work in cultivating the lana has
been done.
This land has been in cane. The
former owner says that the first crop,
with little care and fertilization,
brought about $500, the second ration
$3.50, and the third about $100. It is
not the intention of the school to grow
any cane as most OF the pupils come
from plantation homes at Union Mill
and Hawi, and have ample opportu'
nifty to practise cane cultivating dur
ing vacation months when they are
employed by the plantation.
A small tract will be cleared OF
cane roots. weeds and grass which are
now growing on it, beginning tomor-
row. the first Friday of the school
garden contest 1t will be worked on
every succeeding Friday of the school
year, weather permitting. A small
truck garden will be made and cult
waited.
1t is the opinion of the children of
Honomakau School that the Star-Bul-
letin has been very generous In look
ing after their welfare and happiness

ANOTHER NOTE TO
AUSTRIA PROMISED.

Washington, March Aus
tria s reply to the American re-
quest for clearer definition OF
her attitude In the submarine sit
uation is stated officially here to
leave the door open for further
negotiations, delaying temporarily
at least the break which has been
regarded as inevitable since the
severance Of relations between
the United States and Germany.
Although in substance the long
communication upholds and de-
fends the unrestricted warfare
waged by Germany, it is couched
in most friendly terms and points
out that "Austrian submarines
solely are operating in the Adri-
attic and the Mediterranean and
therefore an encroachment on
American interests hardly is to be
feared" There will be a reply
to this note and unless an overt
act precipitates the rupture both
sides apparently earnestly desire
to avoid, the United States prob
ably will not be inclined to force
the issue for the present.
The truth is that Germany Is
credited here with trying to force
Austria to a step which that
country does not wish to take
Germany naturally wishes, it is
pointed out, to have the complete
moral support Of her allies in the
submarine campaign and is uslnH
her great influence with Austria
to that end.

PRESIDENT WILSON
WILL TAKE ACTION
WITHIN FEW DAYS.

Washing lcn, March 7. New
action by President Wilson with
in the next few days in the sit
uation resulting from the German
unrestricted Submarine campaign
was forecast confidently today in
administration quarters.
In the form Of the action has
been determined upon, it was not
revealed, The possibilities are
met by the government in spite
the arming of American merchant
of all statutes construed by some
officials to prohibit such action !;
the conveying of the vessels by
warships; the immediate calling
Of an extra session Of Congress,
and the placing Of American ships
desiring to pass through the dan
ger zone under gov vernment con-
troll.
Reports conveyed to the Pres
ident during the dav that the
prospects are excellent for prompt
and favorable action on his sug
gestion for a revision Of the Sen
ate rules so that action can be Sc
cured on an armed neutrality res
-olution were believed to bring the
calling Of an extra session nearer
Some Still in Doubt.
While some officials, nOta bly,
those at the State Department,
have advised the President that
ne has full power to arm merchant
men without congressional ac-
ton, others feel that such a step
would be stretching the law, and
therefore would 'be inadvisable-

EASTER THOUGHTS.

A Pilgrim tolls up the mountain
side,
Weary footsore and worn.
The way is long, but lie who
i died, n
\ longer way had borne,
The great unWicIdIy wooden cross,
When for our sins He bIed:
Nor did He murmur when for loss
OF strength He bowed His head.
Rou2h the rocks and far between,
The foothoIdS for His staff
Der head the somber pine trees
lean,
While of the way but half
He has pursued when lol
A figure in the pathway stands,
With raiment white as snow,
And blood stains on His hands.
The vision speaks, with voice so
grave,
The Pilgrim can but pause,
"Why do we falter, when to save.
Ye, | plead thy cause.
With my Father on Gethsemeni,
The Resurrection and the life
These the wounds endured for
thee,
Wilt thou faint in the strife?
The vision gently passed away,
As when the summer rain,
Ceases to patter on the May
Buds that open again.
The awestruck Pilgrim lifts his
eyes,
And 10! light divine,
Floods with radient hue the
skies,
And gilds the gloomy pines.

ADVICE FROM UNCLE ROY.

If there is one advice which we
can offer to the young men Of st.
Bernard, it is that they give pol
tiles a wide berth. OF course, IT
seems such fine thing to hold
position which pays a good salary,
but at best it is only skin-deep
and all prospects of personal al
vancement are obliterated. Poll
ticians or office holders are pennl-
less most of the time, with prec-
ious few exceptions, and are
damned for not doing it. Oppor-
tunities for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT are
very limited and should they
come the sum-total when life's
course is run will not be very
gratifying, particularly from the
financial standpoint.-St. Rer-
nard Voice.

HOW THE HORSE SLEEPS.

Horses, when turned out to
pasture. are more prone to take
their rest lying down than when
confined In stable stalls, but even
when practically free from human
restraint and observation, or any
likelihood Of danger, they seldom
take more than an hour each
night in the recumbent position,
and that period is generally in
duIged in at about midnight.
A noted veterinarian says !:
"There are some curious facts re
garding the disposition Of horses
in the matter Of lying down. To
a Woodworking horse repose is
almost as much Of a necessity as
food and water, but tired as he
may be, he is an animal very shy
about lying down. | have known
instances where Stablemen de
clared that horses in their charge
had never been known to take a
rest in that manner, but always
slept standing. In some Of these
instances the animals Wert con
stantly under human Watchful-
ness night and day, and in other
cases the conclusions were arrived
at because no marks of the bed
ding were ever found upon their
coats. Il now recall an instance of
a horse that stood in stall near
the entrance Of a livery stable.
No one ever saw that animal ly-
ing down within a period Of fif-
teen years. and he finally died
standing"
1t is theory-only vague sup
position-that a horse sleeps
standing because he fears that in
sects or mice may creep up his
1t is also known that
the elephant has the same horror
of mice and that a small rodent
can cause more CONSERVATION
among a herd of those colossal
animals than can a tiger or boa
constructor. A mouse in the hay
at a circus will cause every ele-
phant in the collection to hold his
trunk aloft, plainly indicating
that they fear the little creature
NAV take refuge in the proboscls
orifce.
But to return to horses. 1t
has always been said that they
sleep with one eye open," and
are constantly on guard. An In
dian shod in cotton felt moe
casins, practising all the sly arts
of his people, could not. with the
wind in his favor, approach a
sleeping horse without being de-
tected. No odds how weary a
horse may be, his ears are con
stantly turning and twisting, So
that their tunnels may catch the
slightest unusual noises-lnland
