.. those hot days, blowing in the
field! The little boy thought IL
o'clock would never come, and then
1t took the sun so long to 20 down!
Mark, though, was thoughtful, and
would stop a while between meals
and give the little boy rest. He'd
stand still and look the sun straight
in face without blinking, and the lit
tie boy would protest at starting
again. Mark would tell him that
old man was coming up behind; and
how he could see him with his back
towards him was always a mystery.
Dolphin as another character. If
the colonel had had literary educa-

him Adolphus. He was a long, gang

but very efficient with his work. On
one occasion the colonel sent him ear
ly one morning to water some hogs
in distant field. A deep narrow
we'll and a pole with a bucket at
tached was used to get the water. It
was getting late in the morning, and
as Dolphin was not coming back, the
colonel was getting impatient, and
when at last he made his appearance
he bounced upon him for his long
stay, when Dolphin replied that he
ought to be glad to see him at all.
It seems the pole broke and Dolphin
went down head foremost into the
well, and as he was long and the well
narrow he had to back up the best
| way he could.

THINGS SEEN AND HEARD

have not seen you in a time" "Why
how do you do, Aunt Sarah. I'm SO
much pleased to see YOU. Those

porter and Aunt Sarah Everybody

al moons since Aunt Sarah and the
reporter had exchanged compliments
and of course both were tickled lot
to meet each other again. Then the
conversation was continued as fol-
lows: "Aunt Sarah, you look like you
might be thinking Of taking unto
Yourself another husband" said the
reporter. "Why yes, I'm 63 years
old and have been married twice, but
| if | could find the right man-What
| I mean by the right man is smart
mani would marry again." replied
Aunt Sarah. This, Of course, is not
all the conversation, but it's enough
to tell.

have I seen so many children in any
section of the country as l see IN

a travelling man to this reporter the
other day.

county paper in the world and l would
subscribe for it, but my neighbor

like the sound of that? It's mighty

SUGGEST LOCAL
FIRMS ORGANIZE
FORDELIVERIES
Formation of Company to Han.
die Distribution Suggested
to Food Board

That a system Of cooperative dellv-
cry should be adopted by the larger
mercantile and other business houses
OF Honolulu whose wagons make sew
eral trips TO various parts Of the city
each day, is a suggestion which has
been made TO the territorial food
commission and which has the in,
dorsement of J. +. Child, assistant
executive officer.
Mr.. Child said today that he be
lieves a cooperative system OF de-
livery would be a good one, as, with
the various firms assisting each other
in the matter Of deliveries, unneceS-
sary trips would be done away with,
considerable time would be saved.
and more efficient service would be
given the purchaser.
Another plan, however, has been
suggested to Mr. Child which, he be.
lieves, would be even better than the
cooperative system. This plan is that
the local mercantile houses form a
company which would take complete
charge of all deliveries, maintaining
its own wagons or automobiles, COW
ering designated routes and receiv-
ing as compensation a fe for each
package delivered for each concern
Such a company, thinks Mr.. Child.
should be controlled solely by the
business houses, and he believes that,
with the establishment of this sys-
tenn, considerable money could be
saved by all concerns entering into it.

HILO PREPARES
AGAINST BLAZE

Despite the drought that has held
on the Island of Hawaii since early
In the year, the city of Hilo is con-
sidered well protected from any pos
sible fire, says A. C.. Wheeler, har-
Dor board engineer, who is in the city
today on business.
Realizing that with the scarcity Of
water resulting from the dry spell,
they would not be able to cope against
a bad fire, the Hiloites installed a
steam driven pump at the seashore
and in case of emergency will pump
salt water mao the mains.
In addition to this, says Mr.. Wheel.
er, water from other sources than the
Waialu river has been turned into
the reservoir. At the time The eng;-
neer left the island the reservoir was
full and will be kept so. Fire Is 5ept
under the boilers Of the steam pump,
also, to furnish steam at a moments
notice. -.
Mr.. Wheeler thinks that Konala dis.
trict has suffered more than Hama.
kua from the long dry period. IN
some places on the island water is
selling for 10 cents pail.

SUPERVISORS AND FERN
WILL INSPECT BRIDGES

This afternoon the members of the
board Of supervisors will go with May
or Fern on an inspection tour of the
bridges in the Koolaupoko district.
At the last meeting of the board the
engineers department reported that
two bridges on the Waimanalo road
near the Maunawili ranch were in
such a bad condition that they have
been closed. Supervisor Arnold in.
troduced a resolution appropriating
$500 to repair them which passed
fret reading.
Supervisor Bellina raised the ques.
ton as to whether it wouldn't be
cheaper in the long run to put in con.
crete bridges which would cost ap-
proximately $4,000. The idea imme-
diately won favor, but the money ques.
tion stood in the way.
Mayor Fern then suggested that
the board inspect the bridges and
see If temporary repairs could not be
made to last until the end of the year
when the board will have plenty OF
money to install, concrete bridges, and
this course of action was adopted.
