tie favored region. While drought
ruined the grain crops in other parts Of
the state and adjoining states, the farmers
around here harvested record crops
Then again when the corn in other
districts was ruined by the early frost,
we escaped almost entirely. Must be
that our people are about right, else they

JAPANESE IN HAWAII HAVE
 GUARD UNIT
Under Authorization of Provost Mar shal General They Join
 National Army

HONOLULU, T. M., Aug. 15, (By MaiD.-The National Guard of Ha- waii is to include a company of Jap anese, probably the only company of the kind in the United States. It will be organized to morrow night, with Captain William c. Allen in command,
 Immediately upon receipt here of the order of Provost Marshal General Crowder that aliens not eligible for naturalization might join the national army and the national guard, local Japanese began the work of organiz- ing a company. Such a company was authorized by Brigadier-General Sam uel l. Johnson, head of the national guard of the Territory. There was a rush of Japanese eager to join the first Japanese military unit under the American flag.
 It was remarked at the time of the registration under the selectiye draft on July 91, that while more than 50 per cent of the white men of the Ter  ritory who registered claimed exemp- tion, the Japanese almost without ex- ception waived any such claim.
 Plans are being considered among Japanese for the organization of a complete regiment of Japanese, which they hope may be sent to the front in Europe.

SELLING SERB GIRLS TO TURKS
 FOR HAREMS
Trade In Young Women Assumes Immense Proportions, Says Serb
 Premier

LONDON, August l2, Correspond ence of The Associated Press).-Ten thousand Serbian girls from ten to fourteen years old have been kidnap- ped and deported from Serbia to the harems of Constantinople, to Bulga- ria and Asia Minor, says advices re- ceived by M. Pasitch, the Serbian pre- mier, who is now in London.
 "These deportations," said M. Pa sitch, .have been going on since Feb ruary, 1916, but the number was very limited until few weeks ago. Now it has been systematized under Bull garian controllers, and it is impossible to predict how far it will go.
 Eight thousand girls have been sent to Constantinople, and two thou sand more to Bulgaria and Asia Mi nor. Prisoners whom we have taken on the Saloniki front tell us that the traffic in our girlhood has grown to be a by-word in Bulgaria ard Tur- key.
 "The girls are kidnapped and talk en away secretly particularly from the smaller villages, until at present dozens of small towns have been quite denuded of the young female population,
 q do not think that the Turks are the actual instigators of this gross violation of the rules of civilized war fare. All our information indicates that the Bulgarians are the prime movers and the Turks only incidenta benefciaries of the traffic.
 "The girls are too young to be of any use for laboring purposes, besides neither Turkey nor Bulgaria is seri- ouhly handicapped for labor, and in Turkey the use of young women for outdoor work is practically unknown
 "It is very difficult for us to dc anything to help these unfortunate victims. Our affairs in Constantine pie and Sofia are now-in the hands of the Dutch government, and we have made the most earnest possible pro- tests through that government. But you know how difficult it is to get any action from Turkey. We have suggested, for instance, that some scheme of repatriation be put into effect immediately, that the girls should be sent back to some place be- yond the war zone. But I fear it is too late to save them, and that we

ALASKA SPRUCE
 FOR PIANOS
Eastern Manufacturers After Lumber For Sounding Board
 Construction

JUNEAU. Aug. 2S, lBy MaiD.- High grade musical instruments, es- pecialy fine pianos, are 60 be made from Alaska lumber, the so-called Sitka spruce. Eastern manufacturers have for some time been negotiating with the Wortheu Lumber Mills com- pany of Juneau for carloads of this lumber which has proved excellent from every point of view in the con. struction of pianos.
 Select Sitka spruce, owing to its ightness, it's width, the absence of knots, the grain and the good sound- mg-board qualities it possesses, is considered to have no superior for piano construction. A big demand has been created for it on account of a shortage of the Eastern spruce, great quantities of which have been consum- ed in the manufacture of paper.
 While spruce lumber is plentiful throughout the Territory, the special grade required for piano manufacture does not abound in such goodly Quan- titles as the general run of spruce.
 From Boston has come orders for many thousands of feet of the lum- Der. The local mill company will en- deavor to make shipment. Only re- gently a shipment of 5OOOO feet of this spruce went to Eastern concerns to be used in the construction of air planes. Thousands of feet have been shipped out for airship construction during the past year.

HIGH COST OF LIVING
 ALSO HITS JAPANESE

TOXIC, August IA, (By MaiD.- The steady rise in the price of ne- cessities of life in Japan is calling forth protests from many quarters, especially from the ranks of salaried workers. In many cases private em- ployees have raised wages to meet the new conditions and the government is considering some measures of advanc- ing salaries. The giving of bonuses already has begun.
 The demand for high-priced labor in the commercial and manufacturing branches is causing many young men and women to resign from the gov ernment service and the result has been that both telegraph and telephone departments have suffered.

Making Use of Spare Time

The use that a man makes of his spare time off duty is a good test of his character and of his capacity for growth. The good soldier is self-rc- strained. Don't spend your time re- beating indecent stories. They add nothing whatever to your standing, either with the men to whom you tell them or with your officers. Avoid boisterousness, vulgarity, and profan- ity.
 This doesn't mean at all that you should keep yourself in the back ground or that you should fail to be a good mixer" Let your personal ity stand out. Broaden your inau- ence by every proper method. But use your influence and personality to help the men in your own squad and company carry on their work and pre- pare as quickly as possible for the big task ahead of you.
 Save some of your spare time for study The manuals and drill regu- Iations will grow more and more in teresting to you as you become more familiar with your new duties. Mem orize some of the important passages Make yourself an authority on every thing that pertains to company drill
 These are simple rules that will help any man, whether in or out of the Army. to make himself liked and re- spectcd. They are easy rules to ob- service. Follow them, and you will add greatly to your enjoyment of Army life and to your chances for promo ton.

 A man in uniform is always re- garded, whether he wishes it or not as representative of the army to which he belongs. See to it that you conduct yourself in such a way to add your bit, not only to your own repu- tation, but to the reputation of the Army and of the country.

WHY SOCIETY WOMEN

They do. not because II ia a fat

They do, not because 1t is a fad,
but because they wish to obtain
the greatest possible hair beauty
and be sure they are not using
anything harmful. They have
found that in washing the hair 1t
is never wise to use a makeshift
but is always advisable to use a
preparation made for shampooing
only. Many of our friends say
they get the best results from a
simple homemade canthrox mix
ture. You can use this at a cost
of about three cents a shampoo
lby getting some canthrox from
lyour druggist, and dissolving q
teaspoonful in a cup of hot water.
This makes enough shampoo
liquid to apply to all the hair in
stead Of just the top of the head.
as with most preparations. DAN
druff, excess oil and dirt are dis
solved and entirely disappear in
the rinsing water. Your hair will
be so fluffy that 1t will look much
heavier than it Is. Its lustre and
softness will also delight you.
