JACK LONDON's BUST CANNOT BE LOCATED

HONOLULU, T. H., Nov. 9.-The mysterious. disappearance of a bust of the late Jack London is puzzling Honolulu, and apprehensions are en- tertained that the valuable bit of sta tuary may be irretrievably lost.
 The bust, fashioned by Frolich, was the gift of Mrs. London to the Pan-Pacific club, the headquarters of which are in Honolulu. Photographs of it have been received here, but the bust has not, although cable advices were received some time ago that the bust had been shipped to Honolulu.
 The bust was to have been unveiled last week, and a banquet had been arranged to celebrate the event. The banquet was held. and speeches eulo- gizng the dead author, who was a friend of Hawaii. were made. But the bust was not unveiled, for the reason that it could not be found.
 Several cable and wireless mes sages to San Francisco have brought only the information that the bust was shipped on a date which should have brought 1t here more than a week ago.

EPISCOPAL REcTORY AT
 SEWARD NEARLY COMPLETED

The Episcopal church rectory at Seward is now half completed and Rev. zinn will, cease work with tools for a couple of weeks.
 Seven weeks ago the excavation was started for the basement of the rectory. Gradually Rev. Finn raised funds and gradually the rectory took shape until now it is one of the best looking residences in Seward, all out side work being finished and doors and windows being in. The next step will be the plumbing, then wiring, lathng and plastering and the inside finishing.
 Rev. Zinn, if he keeps up his same record he has on the building so far, will have the rectory ready for occu- pancy by spring.
 The building was planned by Rev. Finn and the interior arrangements are those that, while not elaborate, fulfill all requirements for years to come. Built-in dressers, sideboards etc.. clever arrangements of cabinets of various kinds and the general de- tails are the work of a genius. Rev. Finn is to be congratulated on his showing and should naturally feel pleased with himself at his undertak- ing.
 Bishop Rowe has instructed Rev Finn to move to Seward upon compile tion of the rectory, which will be next summer. The new building will cost $4O00.

1t was a Sunday evening at FIT.
Benjamin Harrison and the crowd of
sisters, mothers, aunts and sight-seers
was waiting at the interurban station
for car. At last one came. At the
same time a crowd of soldiers with
leave to go to the city arrived. 1t
was evident that the lone car and its
small trailer could not carry all the
passengers. The soldiers held lit
tie consultation, and then suddenly of
fered to the women the use Of the
train. They said they would wait for
another car. The train filled with sis
tiers, mothers, aunts and sight-seers left
the little group. and the soldiers were
thanked many times for the favor.
At the siding just east of town the
train bearing all these civilians was
stopped and backed ON to switch.
Two minutes later car loaded with
soldiers passed them on the main track,

CUT OUT CROOKED STICKS
Applied to Scoundrels and
the War.

Forestry experts in New York. a
state which has given much conserv-
ing attention to its wealth in trees,
urge farmers to help the country meet
the high cost of fuel by making more
use of the dead and dying timber in
their wood lots. They are advised to
burn in their stoves and CRATES the
fallen logs still sound enough to be
converted into fire wood and TO cut
down and utilize crooked trees Obvi-
ously foredOOmed to wOrthlessness as
timber, no matter how long they may
be allowed to stand.
This is good advice, and there is a
human moral in the crooked stick part
Of 1t, says an exchange. The same
stress of war times, which led to the
appeal issued to New York farmers
in sitting out crooked men. Some ras-
calls will profit by war conditions, but
in the broad view of the nations at
fairs the sound and straight will come
to the front. The country can't take
chances with scOundrels. 1t must cut
crooked sticks out of the life-and-
death work of the war, in places of
'uthOrity.
