PORTLANDER BUYS
JAPANESE SHIPS
Broker Finds Eight Large Craft
For Sale In Shipyards
of Orient

Eight steel steamers, representing
s24 100000, have been bought in the
past six months by well known Port.
land resident who does not wish his
identity known, says the Portland Tele.
gram Of recent issue. II is not exactly
correct TO say that the Portlander
made the purchases, but he negotiated
the sales, finding the concerns which
wanted the vessels and the men who
are willing to sell them.
Owing to the shortage of tonnage
on the Pacific Coast, the scarcity Of
steel, the high price wanted for steel
available, the slow delivery of the
metal and the long time which would
be required before vessels could be
constructed and placed in commission,
the Portlander discovered a solution
to the problem. This solution was
found in Japan. hA..
Despite the high prices and scarcity
Of steel in the United States, the ia
panese are doing an enormous amount
Of steel shipbuilding. They have an
abundance of steel. which they are get.
ting at lower price from the steel
mills of the United states than til =
shipbuilders of this country have to
pay. Shipping men on the Coast want.
cd ships and were willing to pay the
price, so the Portlander went TO Japan
several months ago and bought four
steamers ranging from 5000 to 1000
tons. Recently he again went to ia
pan and purchased four more vessels
Of similar tonnage for his American
clients On the second trip he had to
pay a higher price than for the first
four. While these steamers cost ap-
prox imately $24,0OO,OOO for the eight
their value is now greatly increased.
The japanese were willing to sell on
condition that the new. owners would
carry Japanese cargo, and the condi
ton was accepted. The first four
steamers started on their voyage, went
to Australia and from there to Londsn
and are now returning in cargo. The
second feet is on the first leg of the
journey. Owing to the high charter
rates, it is estimated that by the time
each vessel has SWING around the cir
Gle it will have paid for itself.

LANSING RELIEVES /. .
H|LO OIL SHORTAGE

The tanker Lansing, which departed
from here for Hilo a few days ago,
carrying a large shipment of oil, has
done much for the plantations on Ha'
wall, and the Hilo railroad. Accord.
ing to word received here recently, the
plantations on the Big Island and the
Hilo railroad ran short Of oil and were
reported to be in a critical condition.
II. W, Weller, the Honolulu repre-
sentative of the Union Oil Co., says
that the oil taken by the Lansing to
HilO win greatly relieve the shortage
Of the Davies plantations, 0laa planta

No Match For Valley
81 Island Players

d
wAILuKU, Maui, October lJ--4(sp
elaI to The Advertiser) --iIilo came to
Maui to learn how TO play baseball and
the Big Island boys have opened their
eyes. The Hilo y NJ. I. team arrived
here on Saturday morning for n series
of -four baseball games with the All
Maui Stars.
SO far Hilo has lost the two games
already played. The teams play n
third game this afternoon and q fourth
tomorrow afternoon, Hilo taking the
Mauna Kea at Lahaina for the Big Is.
land on Wednesday evening.
The visitors were defeated here on
Saturday by the score Of seven 70 zero,
and yesterday afternoon also lost out
TO the locals, nine to Ave runs.
Nakamnra pitched the first game for
the visitors, the Y. NJ. l., being totally
outclassed. The shutout pleased Maui
fans good deal and demonstrated
that the Valley Island has players Of
worthy caliber, for the HiIo team 10
by no means a slow or easy one, the
Y. NJ. !. having won the year s, pen
nant Of the Big Island.
Hilo Almost Hitless 10,
In the first game the Hilos were only
able to collect two hits of Bal, the
Maui twirier, who pitched In fine form.
The home boys touched Nakamurat for
thirteen safeties, one Of these being a
home run by Bal. Dutro, the Maui
short fielder, made the only other ex.
ira base hit Of the game. The teams
broke almost even in the number Of
errors made, Hilo being charged with
five and Maui with one less. .s..I'
The second game, played on Sunday,
was a frightfnl one so far as errors
were concerned. Hilo made nine, six
of them by Nakamura, who PLAYED
short, and three by Brown, who held
down third. Hilo was again defeated,
the score being nine to FIVE.
Manuel Baptista, Hilo's premier
pitcher, did the slab work for the visi.
tors and he struck out nine men, but
had wretched support at short and
third. AT that, Maui secured ten hits
of his deliveries. Robinson did the
mound work for the Maui All-Stars
and allowed seven hits, Hilo scoring
FIVE runs. He had also wretched sup
port, but the Maui poor work was far
from being as bad as that Of the Hilo
infield. ats a. "S
Bal, who caught for Robinson, was
again the heavy hitter. He secured
"a home run. The other extra base hits
of the game were secured by Rodri-
CUES of Maui and Enomoto Of Hilo,
both being two.baggers. 4 ",, ~

There Is no doubt that local poo.

that the sport has, IN the past, suf.

If the five yearlings in question

THIS WOMAN LIVES AND
 TEACHER SCHOOL IN BOX CAR

For the past three years" we read in the March American Magazine, Miss Ida Hartford of near Proctor, N, C., has been living in one half of a box car and teaching school in the other half. She gave up home of re- finement and comfort, even luxury, to answer the call that came from her heart.
 At the request of the missionary society of her church, Miss Harford took charge of the children of about eighty lumbermen and their wives, as far as the lumbermen would let her. At first, this was not far for there seemed to be fear of education. The children were unwashed, undressed, unfed. There was no attempt at teach ing the htree R's.
 The hardships that Miss Hartford has to endure would have broken the courage of many men, but the results of the dreary days and minutes of toil- ing that Miss Harford has devoted to her chosen work now show. The youngsters-seventeen of them-are rapidly becoming more like the chil- dren they should be. Imagine a baby of four or five years of age chewing tobacco and occasionally drinking whlskey. In many of the homes now,  grace is even said before meals. Long ago she contributed all of her means available"

Story of "Thc Kid"
 Vitagraph Feature

The Kid, sprightly Miss of seven- teen, is overjoyed at receiving an a. pointment on the staff of the New York Herald, through the influence of Joe Hazard, the star reporter, who has brought her up as his own daugh- ter. To arm her properly for the battle of life, Joe tells her how her mothers downfall was brought about. Her mother, he tells her, was betrayed by man named Dunster in her home town. Joe has befriended her and when he child (The kid) was born and the mother died, Joe had decided to bring her up himself. With final warning to beware the pitfalls of the great city, Joe takes her to the Her aid office to begin her career.
 Soon after, when the price of meat. shows an alarming rise, the Herald assigns the Kid to unearth the cause. and thus save the lives of countless children of the slums whose parents would have been unable to purchase meat at the increased price While on the hunt for particulars, the Kid sees Robinson, one of the large cattle owners of the West who has come to this city for a business trip. She follows him, waits while he has his shoes shined and then, when turning corner, loses him in the crowd. Hurrying home, she assumes the dis guise of bootblack and obtains a position at the stand where sine had left Robinson. True to her expectat- ions, Robinson appears that day, and while shining his shoes she hits on a clue. That day, Robinson's wife, a charity worker, is murdered while riding in her car, and the murderer makes good his escape. Sometime later, the Kid manages to obtain a position in the office of Robinson and gets evidence which she believes him not only connected with the manipul- ation of the meat market but also with the murder of his wife. She arrrang- ed to have two two detectives planted

MORE MONEY IF HANDLED
 RIGHT.

With hogs at 13 cents and above there is money in the swine industry for every farmer in Arkansas, but there is more money in the business for man who will give it particular attention and provide plenty of for age crops which will give good graz ing throughout the year, thus reduc- ing the cost of production to mini mum. The profit in any product of a farm lies between the cost of produc- tion and the selling price. Too often we do not give the cost of producing any commodity enough thought and attention. We think only of the sell ing price.
 Every farmer should plan to have more hogs this year than ever before. He should protect himself by having his hogs immunized against hog chol- era and should endeavor to supply plenty of forage crops for these anil mals. In the past we have too often tried to raise our hogs on corn alone or we have turned them out on mast to hustle for themselves. Both of these methods are wrong. The first one is too expensive and the latter gives only small amount of pork of poor quality and the hogs are always exposed to diseases. The tests of the Experiment Station and the eXperi ence of the successful farmers have shown that the cheapest and most successful way of producing pork is with a maximum amount of good pas ture and the minimum amount of corn. J. H. Mcleod, specialist in livestock with the Extension Division of the University of Arkansas, sug- gests the following crops with g given acreage to furnish a succession of grazing for a litter of eight pigs from early spring until marketed in January.
 1. Dwarf Essex Rape, 2-5 of an acre planted about February 15 and ready for grazing about April 15 or May l.
 ?. Amber Sorghum, 2-5 of an acre planted about April 1 and ready to cut or graze about June 15 or July l.
 ,. Medium Yellow or Haberlandt Soybeans, 2-5 of an acre planted about April 1 and ready to graze about July 15 or August 1.
 1. Soybeans or Cowpeas planted in corn at laying-by time ready to graze by fall.
 All of these crops can be planted later than the date scheduled but they should follow in succession as listed in order to be sure that there will be feed at all times. The acreage of crops as shown in this outline is based upon an experiment by the Arkansas Experiment Station and reported in Bulletin No. A.
