weeds are not very many now. rlIe
vegetables look pretty now Butter
flies seem 90 like the beauty CT yege-
tables and they are the whole day
husily flying above them and once in
while posing on them The conse-
quence is that they hatch harmful
caterpiliais which spend day and night
eating the leaves of the plant The
trouble with lettuce is that kind OF
caterpillar. brown in color, eats
through the plant near the roots.
Yesterday we used the last radishes
that ] planted some five weeks ago
and they grew fine and large. and to-
gether with the Japane Se cabbages
were a great help for the kitchen use.
The Japanese cabbages also grew very
fine and large and about as fast, and
We still have some more ready TO
be eaten
About a week ago | planted some
more Japanese cabbages and taey are
already growing.
Saturday | transplanted some to-
mato plants and they are growing.
The rest Of my vegetables at home are
all growing well.
At school / planted some eucum.
bers. carrots and radishes and they
are now peeping to see the world and
their other friends that called them
from their sleep.
The peanut plants are having many
peanuts within the soil.
Now in school am waiting for my
lettuce and beets to grow larger so
that ! can transplant them.
My parsley. which have already
described is still larger OF the rad
ishes which | planted In January
have sold some and the rest. ate
and gave to my schpolmates.
The gardens are all fine and the
vegetables are all growing ven

Editor Honolulu Star-Bulietin,
Sir: All the other depa; tments OF
the Hilo Union school have told you
something concerning their work In
the letters that they have sent to you
except the carpentry class.
At 11:15 every Tuesday and Friday
the eighth grade boys take carpentry.
When we first started taking it, Mr.
Allen, who acted as secretary of the
County Fair, explained the uses of the
different tools which we were to use.
Then he spoke to the boys about the
class fees. For one year, the price is
$1.25, il the whole sum Is paid at once.
but If one wants to pay by the term,
the price is so cents or $3.50 per year.
Each pupil then chose partner tc
help him out in his work. Raymond
Kinney chose me as his partner; then
we we're given a job. 1t was to finish
a table that had been left undone the
term before. Others started in fresh,
all doing the work that was assigned;
to them. Some made reading tables,
dining tables, mission chairs, book
stands and racks, tie racks, and other
useful things needed in every home
The shop is a daylight one and is
completely equipped; even with cleo.
tricity. Electric saws, and planes and
other pieces of machinery are found in
the shop. In all respects, 1t is an up
to-date shop. 49,. ....~'

 Washington, Oct. 51.-Gratifying evi- Gences of the unifying effect upon the Italian people of the Austro-German offensive is shown by official cable grams received here today. Socialists have shown a disposition for truce in political struggles in order to strength en the people in resistance to the inva- sion. The parliamentary Socialist group has held several meetings to consider plans oi cooperation with the to turn to Rome of their leader, Turiti, to take action. They have jet it be known that they ;,"e disposed to sup port the government to any extent short of actual participation and the abandonment of Socialistic aims and ideals.
 The Austro-German offensive is re- garded as the last desparate attempt of the central powers by crushing Italy to force a peace before the fourth win .er O. war begins.
 Military experts in Rome are point ing out that the enormous mass of the enemy may menace the Italian rear lines of all advanced positions.
 This numerical superiority of the en- emy lies along the entire Italian front, making it necessary to mass the Ital- ian forces by drawing back tn arch front and shortening the lines which = .
