GERMAN ALIENS
MUST REGISTER
FOR j. S. DUTY

German aliens as we'll as Amer
leans in the territory who are
between the ages of II and 90
will be required to register for
military duty.
This does not mean that Ger
man aliens will be drafted into
the service to battle against their
mother country, but the provi-
sion that they register is contain
ed in a statement authorized by
the war department and publish
ed in the last Official Bulletin
issued in Washington, D. c. it
is further provided that convicts
register.
In part, the statement follows
Provost Marshal General F.. H.
Crowder finds that many persons
confuse registration with draft.
Exemptions will be granted after
draft and not before. Even cou-
ViCts and alien enemies are oblig-
ed to register. There is little diff
ficulty in answering the questions
which are asked in regard to reg
istration, for there are no excep-
tions to the rule that all male per
sons in the United States between
the ages of II and 80, inclusive
must register, except those al
ready in the federal military or
naval service"

GLORY Spirit

J. Morton Riggs presented a reso
luton to the AID Club today in which
he brought out the fact that there
were very few American flags flying
over the house tops in Honolulu. He
moved that the AID Club get back OF
a movement which would show that
the citizens OF Honolulu are imbued
with true patriotism. The resolution
follows:
Mr.. PRESIDENTIAL inspection
of the streets of Honolulu dis
closes the fact that the American
Flag (noW of all times), is con-
spicuous by it's absence. There
are a number of our citizens with
sufficient patriotism in their
hearts and red blood in their
veins who are flying our flag over
or in front of their homes. The
Flag also is in evidence over
some of our office buildings, but
in the majority of cases apathy
reigns supreme and our Flag is
not where it should be.
Let it be known here and now,
Mr.. President, that the AID Club
of Honolulu stands pledged to a
display of the American Flag (Our
Flag on every home and build
ing in Honolulu. Now is the time
to ascertain who are the friends
of our country, and who are not.
And let it be understood that Old
Glory waving from the window or
flag staff of any building in Homo
lulu is a pledge of loyalty from
the occupants of that building, in
this, our time of trouble.
Those of our members who are
as old as myself will remember
how during the Civil War in our
country, 1861 to 1863, self-ap-
pointed committee Of citizens Wis
tied many of the offices and
homes in New York city where
flags were not displayed and i'm
mediately thereafter Old Glory
was in evidence.
Hang out the Flag, pledge your
loyalty to your country.
want to move. Mr.. President
tif any one here will second my
notion. that the residents of
Honolulu who are loyal to our
country be requested to at once
display the American Flag and
keep it flying until this war is
over and then some.

Sll4,O7O PORT
REVENUE TAKEN
IN LAST MONTH

Customs receipts for May show a
drop OF $9,05679 from those of a year
ago, according to figures made public
today by Deputy Collector of The Port
Raymer Sharp.
Receipts for last month were $1it-
O7O.09, against s123,126.SS for May a
year ago. The decrease is not due to
any one factor, Sharp believes. 1t
may largely be because less freight
is coming in to Honolulu from the
Orient owing to the scarcity of YES
sells and the huge profits now being
made by steamer owners for carrying
cargoes from the Orient direct to San
Francisco and other Pacific coast
ports with no stop at Honolulu.

'SAFETY FIRST"

Jim OIeary, a we'll known Chica-
90 gambler and bookmaker, does ut
believe in taking things for granted
when it comes to paying bets, and
especially election bets. OLeary still
holds considerable money staked on
the outcome Of the presidential elec
tion last November, and although
the fellows who took a chance on
Wilson winning think they are entit-
led to the cash OLeary insists they
must wait a bit longer He admits
it looks very much like Wilson, but
he says he wants to be sure and that
it will not be definitely settled unit!
congress decides the question, which
it will do on February 8. ''There's s
many slip 'twixt the cup and the
lip" quotes O'Leary, who further
declares he is firm believer IN the
rule of "safety first"
OLeary may be drawing the point
trife too fine for the comfort of
his patrons, but at that his position
is unassailable. And if every stake
holder of election bets would be as
particular about waiting until the last
shadow of doubt was removed, it is
safe to say it would almost be COM
plete cure for the evil of election
betting.

THE PASSING OF TWO HEROES.

In the recent death of William f.
Cody, better known as "Buffalo Bill"
and Admiral George Dewey, comes a
reminder of the hardships which our
forefathers endured, and the great
sacrifices they made in the battle on
the frontier where history is written.
Colonel Cody's early career was fill
ed with incidents of thrilling ex-
citement and adventure, typical Of
frontier times and conditions no more
so than were Admiral Dewey's early
experiences in naval engagements of
the civil war. Cody was famous as
scout and hunter and he achieved
reputation which became valuable in
later years when he turned to the
more prosaic calling of an actor
which in turn led him to become a
partner in the so-called "wild west y
exhibitions. But the real wild west as
he knew it in his early days, ceased
to exist long ago. And at the ripe
old age of II he has been called to
join the other hardy pioneers who
helped to transform the western land
of Buffalo and Indians into a popu-
lous section of prosperity, productiv-
ity and progress.
Admiral Dewey's life was a from
tier battle on the open sea for Amer
lea. Farragut was the inspiration |
for his career, and no other man of
our navy since the distinguished civil
war admiral's S time has so won his
way into the hearts of Americans as
did George Dewey. 1t was in the
Spanish war of 1898 that this son of
Vermont was made world famous in
the battle of Manila bay So success
fully did he maneuver against the
Spanish fleet that not one life was
lost and not an American ship Sc
verely damaged in the action which
decided the outcome of
the war. Not alone was Dewey great
as a seaman; he was a statesman
and diplomat of no mean ability, as
witness his handling of the German
Diederich. of the German
fleet, masterpiece of complete skill
II was he who made ascendant the
commercial position of the United
States III the Orient. established by
Commodore Perry way back in 1S41.
Both Colonel Cody and Admiral
Dewey performed their share of
America's great work, and their
names will he long remembered and
luly honored.

Blood Tells.


1t is a trite saying that blood tells
This is noticeable in the human fam
lily and applies with equal force in
reference to the animal kingdom. A
few years ago farmers, as a rule, did
not realize the value of using pure
bred sires in their herds as they do
at the present time. Occasionally
would be found pure-bred boars used
in raising hogs and the development
of his hogs led the farmer to start
the improvement of his cattle.
We are convinced that there is no
money better expended on the farm
than that invested in pure-bred bulls
for building up the grade of cattle.
The larger farmer is more apt to
use pure-bred bulls than is the small
farmer, because he is carrying on a
larger business. We would, however,
point out that it is equally as i'm
portant that the small farmer should
use improved blood as it is for the
large farmer. If the small farmer
has only a few cows, he is likely to
think it is a large price to pay from
800 to $3.50 for a pure-bred bull,
but Notwithstanding the fact that the
expense is a large one at first. in
the end the increase in value of his
stock will more than pay for the ad-
ditional expense of purchasing
pure-bred bull.
The way to go at the matter of pur-
chasing a pure-bred sire for cattle or
swine is for the farmer to study his
needs and understand the standard he
is endeavoring to reach. We would
advise purchasing sires from fami-
lies that have established a reputa-
ton. The line of breeding should be
a good one, and while the individual
is of as great Importance as the ped
igree, still where strong pedigree
backs up an animal of any kind, we
may be pretty sure that the offspring
from such sires will be of high grade.
We would urge the readers OF
Western Farmer who are working
along with grade stock to study this
question from all sides and see If
there is not an opportunity to do
still better. The amateur who contem-
plates going into the livestock busi-
ness should bear in mind that when
the price of livestock is low is the
best time to purchase pure-bred stock.
When we stop to consider that less
than 8 per cent of the cattle in the
United States today are pure-bred,
one can see at a glance the oppor-
tunity that presents itself for the
of pure-bred stock.-West-
arn Farmer.

TIME TO BE CAREFUL.

Grip and pneumonia are two ever
present perils at this season of year.
and reports indicate they are unusu-
ally severe this season and claiming
many victims. Both are winter dis
eases, statistics showing that about
one-half of the eases of pneumonia
developing through an entire year Oc-
cur during the months of December.
January and February, while grip
likewise seems to favor these months.
Both are germ diseases, and both may
be guarded against by proper precau-
ticnary measures. And the very first
rule to insure such safeguard is to
cultivate condition of high physi-
cal vitality and resisting powers
against the infection of the germs
which cause these annoying and dan
gerOus diseases.
In some parts of the country grip
is now termed epidemic. which is a
term applied when a disease becomes

of eases reaches certain ratio in
relation to total population. Pneu-
monia also is claiming many victims,
and the obvious deduction is that
conditions are favorable for the
spread of these diseases. Climatic
conditions may not be governed by
man, but when climatic conditions
are bad for health it follows that
people should be more than usually
careful to avoid exeeSses, exposure,
fatigue and everything else that tends
to impair bodily vigor and physical
resisting power against disease. Clean
living and good habits are especially
desirable at such time, for the pen
atty of neglect may be serious ILL
ness, or death itself. And if all per-
sons would remember this fact and
be prudcntly careful. it unquestiOn-
ably would diminish the danger of
these winter diseases and save many
lives.
Yet while many do follow this ad-
vice. others blindly continue to court
disease and then blame their luck
when they fall i'll, ignoring the fact
that they themselves are largely to

Saturdays work began at nine

interesting observation lesson in

some forms of busy work. Miss Ed

ANOTHER PORK MEASURE.

Another so-called pork measure has
been reported to the house of rep.
resentatives, the rivers and harbo1s
bill which carries appropriations for
some thirty-eight million dollars, of
which about ten millions are for new
projects. This bill has been polished
up by, the committee ON rivers and
harbors, of which Representative
Sparkman of Florida is chairman,
and it is no surprise to find that
Florida is treated in very liberal
manner Several new Florida pro-
jects are included in the measure, in
volving proposed expenditures of $2,-
100000, to say nothing of sixteen old
projects which are continued Other
southern states are not forgotten, ii
good example being an additional ap-
preparation for the Brazos river in
Texas, on which some $3,000,000 al
ready has been spent without aiding
or benefting commerce in any way,
and with absolutely no prospect this
ever will be accomplished.
Although the present rivers and
harbors bill is somewhat more modest
than some of its predecessors, il new
ertheless is plain that it still carries
generous chunks of oork, meanln.
inexcusable waste of the public funds.
Representative Frear Of Wisconsin
has prepared minority report point
ing out the "fakes' in the measure,
and he also intends to vigorously OPP
pose it when it comes to vote.
Strong opposition also is developing
in the senate, it is claimed, where
there is talk of filibuster, if neces-
sary, to defeat the measure. And the
public, which heartily discredits these
shameless raids on the treasury, will
sincerely hope these plans of opposi-
tion will prove successful.
Meanwhile. as a measure of pork
prevention, the president is reported
to have suggested the naming of a
commission to investigate and report
on rivers and harbors projects, and
little provision for temporary com
mission has been slipped into this bill.
Just why it is necessary to add one
more commission to the steadily
lengthening list of government com
missions. with their quota of clerks,
stenographers. inspectors, experts.
and attorneys, is not clear The ar
my engineers investigate all projects
and report on them impartially and
expertly, but congress never takes
their adverse opinions, when it is a
case of pork grabbing. What reason
is there to suppose that congress
would pay any more attention to a
commission?
