ISLANDSBOOSTED
BY SEED EXPERT

How an expert seed man and horti
cultuTist Of Philadelphia is advertising
Honolulu through the medium OF pop
ular lectures Oh Hawaiian plant lie
is learned in d letter received by L.
Y. Wilmarth, manager OF the Pteasan-
ton Hotel from }. Otto Thilow. who
visited here last January, enclosing
clippings OF one Of his lectures and a
Who's Who" OF himself.
The letter 10 Wilmarth contains a
new testimonial for the islands at

follows:
Il regret | could not stay in honolulu
much longer as i only got taste OF

Of a hoTticulturist Is a great entice-
ment and certainly satisfying. | gave
a lecture recently before the Uniyer-
sity OF Pennsylvania and June IL de-
livered the same TO the New York
Horticultural Society, Florists Club.
The Who's Who follows IN part:
Mr. ThilOw is q member OF the
community whose natural tastes and
aPtitudes lead him TO study Of tn,
wonders of vegetation. He is one OF
the executive committee of the Penn
sylVania Horticultural Society, a for
mer president of the Philadelphia

Society of American Florists and Ma,
tionaI Gardeners Society. II the small

account. Mr.. ThIlow is secretary Of
the well known seed house Of Henry

To Judge from an afternoon spent IN
the naval recruiting sub-station whlcn
nestles under the benignly smiling
BENJAMIN Franklin, at Park Row and
Nassau Street, It takes more than the
calling of war Congress" to bring
forth volunteers in large numbers.
Thirteen applicants presented them
selves yesterday. They were the only
nersons who seemed 20 take the situs-
ton seriously. A crowd, composed
mostly of Office boys TOO young 70 en-
list. was always around the little tent,
confning its activities to ceaseless
chewing Of gum. punctuated with prac-
ticed and exceedingly accurate eypecto-
ration.
Only once in the afternoon did the
apathy of the crowd as a crowd dis
appear A tall, spare, elderly woman
Of pacifst persuasion appeared mys-
teriously and began TO eXhort the look
ers-On
Don't enls, in the navy she
shrilled. Sherman said War is hell
Do YOU want TO send our boys TO he!l?'
Our boys answered with surprising
vehemence in the affirmative. Atten-
ton centred upon the peace propa-
gandist 20 such an extent that her re-
marks we're drowned in a food of
booes. jeers and catcslls. And finally,
realizing that the observation of the
gentleman who marched through
Georgia was affecting the crowd about
as much as "A snowstorm dlsrupts a
cemetery, the woman withdrew as mys-
teriously as she had appeared. She
proved only one thing that a prophet
in his own country, compared with a
pacifst at a recruiting station, IS ioad-
ed down with honor.
