iCONSCRiPT THE LOAFEKS.

i The very brightest and best Of the
country's young men are volunteering
! in defense of the flag. These young
men are being taken from the store,
the farm and the factory They have
been producers of wealth. Right now
the country needs young men to take
their places, chiefly upon the farms
of the middle west. Is it not possible
for Uncle Sam to adopt a plan OF" con-
scriptiOn' that will take a lot of idle
young fellows-btalHGart, Htrappirk3
ablebodied young mcn--from the POOL
halls and other loafing places of the
country and compel them to serve
their country by cultivating the soil
and producing the foodstuffs that the
nation must have 2? '.3'''' 't
Talk of farm preparedness" is idle
il there is lack of men to till the farm.
And for several years the farmers of
Nebraska and the middle west have
been handicapped by scarcity of the
scarcity of loafers in the cities
and villages Of the middle west. Quite
the contrary Then let Uncle Sam
adopt a policy Of agricultural conscrip
ton and compel idle men to serve
their. country by. becoming producers
instead OF mere sleeches upon society.
And let it be burned into the minds
of the young men thus drafted that to
desert the duty OF feeding the nation
is just as reasonable as deserving the
defense of the nation in the face OF
the enemy There can be no efficient
farm, preparedness" without an eff
Gent supply Of labor to till the soil.

Words Which hsvs Strayeu.

Hardly any words In the English Ian
guage have strayed, farther from their
original meaning than the terms Of for
estry. Thus forest was originally u
great tract of country. which might in
clude woods, cultivated lands. pastures
and even towns and villages, all the
hunting rights over which We're reserv-
ed to the monarch. A chase differed
from a forest mainly in the fact that
the hunting rights We're vested in a
subject instead Of a king. A park was
a fenced preserve. either in or out Of a
forest. while, a warren was a piece Of
waste ground over which the right to
hunt the hare. the rabbit and the fox.
the pheasant, the partridge and the
woodcock' had been granted by the
king. - !. ~ '''
In the same way the term afforesta-
ton had nothing to do with the plant
ing of trees. 1t meant the subsection
Of any tract Of country to the forest
laws-in other words. it was the set
ting aside Of this tract US forest. A
forest might and commonly did include
vast estates Of landowners and large
towns whose rights remained untouch-
ed except as to game.-London Mail.

IT'S A HOME JOB.

Whether this country meets its OBJ
legations in supplying food to the
world in this emergency must depend,
not on the federal government or on
the states, but on the individual COM
munities. These outside agencies can
help. But the real responsibility
lies at home. The job before the ma
ton is to see that there are no slack
err acres. This can be managed only
il; every farm community and every
town takes hand. Local conference
es can call attention to the waste
lands, can arrange for cultiVating
them, can see that necessary finan-
cial help is provided, and often can
get the extra labor needed by form
ing volunteer farm squads of boys.
The state commissions undoubtedly
can accomplish much. But communi-
tics need not wait for these commits
sions to tell them what to do. They
can go ahead on their own initiative.
Americans are used to home rule.
They accept responsibility without
waiting for central government to
direct them. Now is the chance to
put home rule into effect to increase
the food supply.-Kansas City Star

patriotic problem that comes with the

Of course, not merely to build up the

Growing Grapes.

Grapes will grow almost anywhere
and are sure to bear, Grapes can be
trained on trellises close to, fences or
to outbuildings. Spring Is the best
time to plant, using either one or two
year old vines. Frequently cultivation
during summer will improve the fruit.
Wood ashes make good fertilizer
for grapes. and half bushel to the
vine will not lie too much. ''~- 49, 80
No pruning will be required the first
season. but the second season cut back
the strongest canes to three or four
buds and remove al others.

the trip down the coast.
The cross continent trip from
the coast to New York and return can
be made for $1,000 To-day trip that
cannot be excelled. In the smaller
towns the hotels are inexpensive and
often the food is better than in the big
city hotels.
THE ideal trip would be via Seattle,
with side trip to Mount Rainier, then
to Portland and to the Yellowstone up
the Columbia river, through the Dako-
tas, to Minnesota, down to Chicago,
on to Fort Wayne, Indiana, to Detroit.
then to Niagara Falls, Buffalo and
down the Hudson to New York.

MRS. c. E. KELLOGG
ONLY WOMAN GARAGE
OPERATOR IN CITY

Since the death of her husbond
in July, Mrs. {. E. Kellogg has
successfully managed the garage
and automobile service station
near King street south, and has
the honor of being the only wom-
an garage operator in Honolulu.
In fact she, has been so success
full and her business has increased
so much that she has been forced
to move the office of the works
into the building next door to
give the mechanical force more
room to work. Though long
resident in the islands, Mrs.
Kellogg is a native of New York
City. While she is supposed to
handle only the office end of the
business, it is a treat to see her
jump into a job when the me-
chanical force appears 20 be going
slow and make them toe the |
mark She has not only made
her garage give service to the
patrons, but has also seen to it
that it is good and speedy SER
vice.
