Des Moines, Oct 9.--Iowa members
of the old Third Iowa. now the l6Sth
United States infantry, are in fine form,
according to Adjutant General Logan
who has returned from visit to Camp
Mills, L. T., where he reviewed the
troops. He declares the men are re-
ceiving a. training in every kind OF
fighting they are expected to- expert
ence III France and are under the eye
of thesmost experienced inspectors and
trainers ~in this country.
''rhe men now have the bearing OF
hardened. well trained soldiers" said
General Logan in commenting on the
troops Il saw them march to their
training ground and their formations
were perfect. There were no gaps or
irregular lines. They have the look
and bearing of real soldiers.
The general reports that the health
in the Iowa troops has been far above
the average in the other troops. He
attributes much of that to the activity
of Major Conkling, in charge of the
health and sanitary work of the Iowa
division. Major Conkling. who is a
physician and surgeon with lucrative
practice in Des Moines, has been in
the national guard for more than TWEEN
ty years and was one of the officers
OF the old FIFTY first which saw SER
vice in the PHILIPPINES. He has been
head of the First detachment hospital
tn, MnipnS FOR
time
Inspections Very Rigid.
General Logan says he found Major
Conkling very rigid in his inspections
OF the camp and If he finds piece
of a potato pairing lying on the ground
outside Of tent the guilty party is
sought out and given a severe repri-
mard.
The Iowa men have been free from
measles with which the other troops
have been affected. One man from
tbuncil BLUFFS died Of spinal menin-
sitis contracted before he reached the
camp. Other than that there has been
no serious illness in camp.
The best trainers and inspectors
available are being sent to Camp Mills
TO train the troops of the Rainbow
Division. They are insistent on carry
ing out the army program to the last
detail, which General Logan commends
highly declaring that is what makes a
soldier.
s While in Washington, D. c.. General
Logan received government authority

100 men each. 1t will not be difficult
to secure the men but it win be hard

Patriotism and Prohibition

When Major G. s. Lincoln. Z. s. A.. said 10 the
, Chamber Of Commerce Yesterday, I'D like to see
Hawaii close all saloons tomorrow" there was an
instant and prolonged applause which showed con-
cIusiyely how these businessmen of Honolulu stand
on the liquor issue at this critical mopent in terri
torial history
IL the legislature of the territory memorializes
Congress to pass prohibition measure for Hawaii,
az this extraordinary session there is the best Of
reasons to believe Congress will so act.
This is an opportunity for the best patriotism,
the best public service. the best regard for com
unity welfare in the legislature to rise to the occa
sion and express itself unequivocay for the clos
ing of the saloons as measure of protection eici-
ency, preparedness
ls there selfish interest, paid advocate of booze
who viii rise up and oppose such an action? If SO,
let the people know exactly who stands in the way.
General Strong and Major Lincoln have made it
plain that the army does not contemplate any inter.
ference with local authority But they have also
made II plain that the officers of the army hope that
local authority will take this step
As this session OF the legislature progresses the
prohibition plebiscite bill is becoming more and
more involved in politics, legal hairsplitting and
factionalisn. 1t no longer represents a clean.cut
issue based on the principle Of homerue. Signs i'll
dictate that it will not be passed by this legislature
The Legislature may end All the present contro-
Yersy and may show itself alive to the vital necess
ties OF Americanism at this hour of the nations need
by prompt vigorous, unanimous memorial to Con-.
gross to make Hawaii "dry.'
There is also recourse to the license boards Of the
several islands and there is the possibility OF re
fusing to renew saloon licenses after June 80. when
the present licenses expire But as the representa-.
tive body Of the entire territory is the legislature
20 the legislature should speak now for the best in
terests OF all Hawaii.
Close the saloons!

Something To Do Now

While the federal and territorial officials. planta
ton managers and agricultural experts are working
ont plans for combined action to increase food pro-
duction i'm Hawaii, there is one important aid the
legislature can Immediately render.
Superintendent Of instruction Kinney has pointed
the way in urging the schools TO keep with the
school and home gardening recently launched
in the contest under the auspices of this paper The
interest, enthusiasm and energy Of teachers and
pupils has made this garden movement an extraor@
binary success. r-[.1 II = III
NominaIly the contest has closed, but the emerg
ency which faces Hawaii makes it urgently neces
sary, Mr. Kinney says, for the gardens to be con-
tinued ~s.,F.. a., t,.-.-al@:a st--~%
. To continue the gardens during this summer and
next fall will impose upon many teachers of Hawaii
a duty for which they should be paid The teachers
do not expect pay for temporary services requiring
some extra time out of school hours hut the super
vision of the school and home gardens has proved to-
be a task which takes virtually all the spare day
light time of one teacher in each school--if it is
properly done. Merely to visit the home gardens in
many localities has required many miles of walking.
Furthermore, the teachers have often unselfshly
aided in stimulating interest by offering from their
own slender purses small sums as rewards for the
children. Ges. AZ L $751; ~
Inc Territory ought TO place at the dlSpOSal OF the
department of public instruction fund to pay
teachers who are giving their time and labor to the
garden work. -, + IT,
Furthermore this should be a fund outside the
regular appropriation BILL for that does not become
operative until next January. r..
The school and home garden work should be con-
tnued up to the end of the present school term and
the home garden work carried directly through the
summer. The department of public instruction,
which has fully realized from the start the value of
the school gardening contest, can in q short time
give pretty exact estimate of the amount needed
for this special fund
The legislature may also help very materially by
increasing the biennial appropriation for vocational
training The estimate for this was $50 600 which
was cut to $40, 900 in the house finance committee
At the time of the reduction the present emergency
did not face Hawaii Under the appropriation for
vocational work will be done in the next two years
the special school and home garden instruction The
department furnishes not only encouragement and
instruction, but often actual material such as wire
fencing and seeds ~ ~ 9asa
sum of sixty thousand dollars for vocational
work during the next two years should be sufficient
to take care of the proposed development of the
gardening ssstss 81
The Chamber of Commerce yesterday indicated its
readiness to support any feasible movement to in
production Of foodstus in these islands This
school gardening movement is not only feasible but
can be made Immediately operative.
