Coriander Seeds.

Coriander seds, which are twice men
toned In the Bible, are the seedlike
fruits of CoriandruTa satiouin, no doubt
native to southern Europe and prob
ably escaped from gardens and run
wild in Egypt, Persia and India. The
use of the seeds IN this country has
been nearly abandoned in favor of the
nearly-related caraway.

ENTHU SIASTIC society women of
- the large cities, inspired by a pat
triotic passion to do their bit, are
travelling around the country showing
farmers wives how they must can and
preserve food products for national
conservation. Farmers wives should
not fail to do their patriotic duty in
these times when national conserva-
ton in all departments is so much
emphasized. What is the matter with
the wives of farmers that they are
not organizing parties to go into
towns and cities and explain to city
women that for conservation of ma
tional health it is necessary to cut
out corsets and high-heeled shoes?

THOSE best informed seem TO ex-
pect the war to last three more
years, and when one recalls what has
happened in the past three years, that
seems quite while. But there is
consolation that, when it is over, no
one will be worrying about German
militarism; there won't be enough of
it left to start anything.

amount which company or individual
is making over the average amount
for the three or four years prior to
the war. This system of taxation
goes upon the theory that those who
profit by the war should contribute
most to pay for the war. That prin-
ciple is entirely sound, both in eco
Monies and morals. No industry
should expect to reap out of this
world calamity an abnormal harvest
of dollars, and the only way to pre-
vent it is for the government to levy
a heavy tax upon excess profits.

A TOWN is just like an individual.
Some men are born hustlers and
keep at the head of the procession IN
every way, while others sit down and
watch the sparrows play in the streets
and the busy world goes off and
leaves them. Some towns are always
up and coming. It's business mart
reaches out after trade and makes IT'S
stores a good place in which to trade.
The people from the surrounding coun-
try flock there because they know
they will get square deal and their
worth. The latter class Of
towns are not worried by mail order
houses. The successful town employs |
he same methods as the successful
business man. Such has been the case
,ver since men were born and towns
we're founded.

SOME efficiency expert should get
busy on the automobile license
department Of the state and save the
state some money. Probably more
useless red tape surrounds the simple
process of licensing the motor cars
of Idaho than any governmental func-
ton on earth. We don't know how
much the state pays out for postage
in mailing its 10000 tags, but it prob
ably runs into several thousand doll
airs each year. A large saving could
be made by sending tags by freight
to each county treasurer and distrib-
ute them when the license tax is paid,
instead of sending one at time by
mail from the state department to
each motor car owner.

WHAT the people should have
these days is the truth of the
matter. They should not be told day
in and day out that the German arm
les are collapsing and that the Ger
man empire is on its last legs. They
should not be told that the submarine
warfare is cutting no ice and is UNI
der easy control. The people should
be impressed with the seriousness of
the present crisis. This war is going
to be won, but it will take a mighty
effort. 1t took 20 years to conquer
Napoleon and the way was a bloody
one. When the people know the truth
in all its seriousness they will do
their duty TO man without the ne
cessity of speakers going about the
country to arouse the fighting spirit.

TAX excessive profits which are
made by the war. Don't tax by
uniform rate all profits made by all
industries. The difference between
the two systems is great, and the ex-
cess profits tax is far fairer of the
two. Many industries are making no
profit whatever out Of the war. To
tax them heavily might prove almost
destructive II their existence. On
the other aand, many industries are
making directly as result Of war
enormous profits beyond what they
ordinarily earn. To tax the excess
earnings would still leave a great ex-
ira return for the owners and at the
same time furnish the United States
government with needed revenue.

heard that the Union steamer Pa

crew from Papeete, was delayed by

But the first mate would not lose
that bird. Two days later we were
caught and sunk by the Seeadler. Then
on the Seeadler the German captain
opened the cage to let the bird out.
But my mate caught it and put it
back. Then the Seeadler went ashore.
THAT parakeet kept squawking all
the time. I was glad to be rid of it
when took the small boat to Apia.
I'll bet the mate has still got that
bird on the Paloona"

NEXT OCEANIC LINER
WILL TAKE OUT 100

Due to the temporary withdrawal
of the Matson steamers the offices of
the Oceanic steamship company are
being besieged by applicants for pas
sage to the coast on the next vessel
of that line to call here. Information
has been received that the next
Oceanic liner can take out 100 cabin
passengers, but there is no knowledge
here of how many she can accommo-
date in the second cabin and the
steerage.
The providing of passage for the
100 cabin passengers will save all
tourists from being delayed here
more than a week, but many of the
Spaniards and Filipinos, who want to
leave here on account of the big sums
they have received as bonus pay
ments on the plantations, will likely
have to wait for other steamers.

Brings TOURISTS
FROM THE NORTH

Nearly all OF the Al passengers
who arrived in Honolulu today by a
Union S. S. Co. liner. are tourists who
have come to Hawaii TO evade the
northern winter Most prominent
among them is W. Oothout, a wealth.
Nevada mining engineer, who, with
his wife ana maid, is here for an in
definite stay
Everything is war in the states,
he says, as he expresses the wish
that he will find it the same in this
American outpost
Mr.. Oothout says he is satisfying n
longing OF several years by coming
10 Hawaii at this time. He stopped
here for a short time a number Of
years ago when he was returning from
a trip to China and has always want
ed to return for a longer period.
The Union liner officers say they
have had no word regarding the miss
ing steamer Natunga, although it was
reported in Vancouver that the ship
was believed to be in the hands Of the
Seeadler crew.
A number of the through passen-
gers on the Union steamer are Off
GERS Of the British army who have
been given a furlough. after two and
three years spent in the trenches in
France.
This steamer has a through cargo
of over 1000 tons.
