TOO MUCH CITY

Every man makes mistakes.
The wise profit by them-the fool
ish heed them not.
The young man Of eighteen aAd
twenty is on the threshold Of life. He
is face to face with one Of the gravest
Of life's problems ms-his future.
At about this age many Of the
young men Of the farm make thcir
first great mistake, that Of rushing
to the big city. It is often = fatal
one.
The brilliant electric lights and the
great white way" make an alluring
picture to them. 1t sounds the call
to which youth quickly responds.
But oil is not gold that glittsrs.
There is much Of dross.
Large cities are overcrowded with
men from the green farms Of the
country. A limited few have met
with success, but the majority are in
one weary and continuous struggle
for bread.
For each job in the city there are,
from two to a hundred applicants.
For every position of worth there are
dozens Of young men with "inhuen-
tial friends" to secure them prefer
ence.
Go into the stores, the business
Offices, the shops, and ask the en-
ployees of maturer years the same
question. 1t will invariably be ION
the farm, and I was fool for ever
leaving"
The best place in this world for
the young man Of the farm is right
on that farm, or a better one.
If you use your brains there is no
limit to the wealth you may dig from
the soil. Your opportunities are q
hundred to one as compared 70 city
life. The world is at the feet of the
farmer.
The farm is crying for you-for
more like you.
Cities are groaning under the
weight of too many of you.
The young man Of the farm is wise
when he knows the value of his op-
portunities-the danger of chimerical
calls.

THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER

It was with great pleasure that 1000
Willistonites listened to the playing
of "The Star Spangled Banner" by
the Williston Concert Band at the
concert last Sunday afternoon. It
b sincerely hoped that at Ill future
concerts the national anthem will oc-
cupy prominent place on the pro-
gram. And why shouldn't It? It
contains wonderful words set to most
inspiring music.
Every American audience should
rise whenever the anthemn is played

INCREASED IMPORTS OF MANU-.
FACTURES /.

The two groups of our tmporta
which require the greatest amount o.
labor In their production are manu-
factures for further use in manufac'
turing, and manufactures ready fo'
consumption. These are the com.
modities on which the cheap labor o1
Europe and the Orient is expended
and under the policy Of free trade, OF

tion 10 encouraged to- the detriment
of our own industries.
Last year our imports from Ger.
many, Austria, and Belgium, which
normally run about $3.50, 600, 600 IN.
nually, were almost entirely cut on,
while the rest of our European COM
petitors were bending every energy
to the production Of war supplies. In
spite Of this, our imports under these
two groups for the first eight months
of the current fiscal year, ended Feb
ruary %, totaled $529, ,000, 900, or $10,-
600, 900 greater than for the first
eight months of the fiscal year end
ed February %, 1914, five months Of
which was under the Wilson Under
wood low duty law, and peace period.
This indicates that with three Of
our great trade competitors, from
whom we import chiefly manufac-
tured goods, practically out Of the
running, the rest Of Europe is just
about holding its own, with the as
sistance Of the Democratic law, while
the products Of the pittance-paid Ia
Dor Orient, meeting but nominal re-
strictions at our ports, are flowing in
In ever increasing volume.
It requires no wonderful provision
on the part of students of trade to
tell what will happen after the war
b over, if we are operating under the
present law. Every last one Of the
European countries is perfecting its
plans for trade extensions to follow
the war, and industrially the Far
East is wide awake. If the President
desires to throw the mantle of his
altruism over our foreign trade COM
petitors, he has but to continue IN
force the tariff law which he compell-

wEEks.MADDEN PLAN WISE

The New York Times (Dem) has
very appropriately called attention to
some facts Of wartime history. II
says: "There are plenty still living
who recall the scandals Of the Civil
War and the ill-gotten profits Of
those who came to bs known, very
suggestively, % the 'shoddy aristoc-
racy.' Things were little better when
the Spanish war came along, and all
Kinds Of junk, from ssnbalmed besf
to worthless ships were palmed OF
on the country 1t exorbitant prices"
The Times thinks there 10 no danger
Of such experiences during the pres.
ent war, but disclosures Of fraud in
Canada . few months ago are likely
to leave most people with the idea
that relaxation Of Vigilance upon the
theory that twentieth century civili-
zation has made oil men honest, IL
unwise. There Is much good sense In
the suggestion that Congress should
appoint . joint committee on the con-
duct Of the war, which committee
could guard against many mistakes
Of policy as well % to keep an eye
open for irregularities that would
lead to scandal. Senator Weeks Of
Massachusetts,, and Representative
Madden, Of Illinois, who have intro
duced resolutions for the appointment
Of such . committee, are themselves
men Of large business experience and
fully appreciate the need Of careful
supervision Of expenditures and poll
cies.

PIER 6 SHE'D IS
GOING UP WELL

Good progress is being made this
week on the Pier s shed extension by
Contractor Henry K. De Fries, who
said today that the end of the pier
will be clear of all lumber and other
material by the first part of next
week and that the whole job will be
done, If good weather prevails in the
meantime, by another two weeks.
Owing to the rotten condition OF
the old stringers on the Waikiki side
of the piers open end was neces-
sary for De Fries to put in new string
ers. This held up the work a week
longer than had been estimated and
will add $1G0 TO the contract price,
which was $1034
Five trusses for the roof of the
shed extension are being put together
this week by the contractor and his
workmen. They will be up and ready
for the roof by the fore part Of next
week. The extension will add SO feet
to the sheds length and cover the
entire makai end.
Because the Oceanic liner Sierra
arrives from Sydney January 80. the
same day as the Great Northern, the
Hill turbiner will probably be berthed
across the slip, at Pier I, instead Of
her old berth at s. The Sierra has
TO have Pier because there are 1900
tons or more of sugar for her to load
for San Francisco. Much OF the sugar
is now on the pier.
