We speak of st. Pauls a little vii
lage of lovely homes, prosperous bus
mess people, capital school advant
ages, alert, forward-looking church
es, and busy factory owners and op

1t is the center of fertile farm
area of wonderful possibilities. Three
counties corner in st. Pauls-Robe-
son, Bladen and Cumberland.
1t was our very great privilege a
few weeks ago to speak to the Meth
cdists, Baptists iand Presbyterians
all in one audience Sunday morning
and night about Our Twin-Born So
cial Menaces-Illiteracy and Farm
Tenancy.
These three counties are among the
very best in this or any other State;
nevertheless the native white llite-
rates in this area number nearly s.
! 900; the white farm tenants and their
families are a company of nearly f0 ;
900 souls; and the people, white and
! black, ten years old and over, who
were outside the churches of all de.
nominations 1906 were nearly g..
/ 900. Just as We expected, We foune
that the county that lead in whit,
farm tenancy, lead in white litter
acy, and Jagged farthest behind i,
church membership. It is everywher,
so.
1t goes almost without saying tina
there is work to do over against tn
doorway of every church and ever,
Christian home in this region-jus
as in every other, the State over.
It was good to find the ministers
the church officials, ard the mem
bers of these three villages churche
so wide awake and so eager and read
to organize for active assault upo

cause Of the Kingdom in this terri
tory.

$2400 the year and expenses. but
Mr.. McKinnon says if it will take

Under the management of Mr.. H.

and Jennings cotton mills have been
wonderfully successful, and the en-
ployes of these mills have received
substantial recognition of the part
they have performed in the shape
of gift to each one of ten per cent
Of the amount he or she earned for
the three months prior to April /.
This is just a striking manifestation
of the good business management
that has recognized all along that
the success of such an enterprise is
dependent upon the hearty and 10y
al cooperation of all employees; a
manifestation, too, of the broad
minded policy that always has char
acterized the management of these
mills. During the past year the
Lumberton and Dresden mills, at a
cost of $4,000, have installed sew
erage system in the two mill villag.

the cheapest nourishlng food which
the housewife can buy on the mar

"The food value of 1 pound of

any of the following commonly used

1t seems there are many hCuseN ives

methods OF cooking the Hawaiian
vegetable.
The commission would like every
cook in the islands TO have a thor

Ject as a part Of the food ECONOMY
campaign, because taro can be grown
here in abundance and should help
materially to reduce the use OF other
vegetables, and OF bread especially.
That the taro is a vegetable of sterling
character and high food value is the
assertion Of Dr.. A. L. Dean, who told
the Honolulu women at their mass
meeting last Thursday that its nutrt-
tive content is just about twice that
of the Irish potato.

the commission has ordered an eXper-

GALAPAGOS ISLANDS
MAY BE SOLD TO u. S.

ANCON, c. T., June 4-Reports
keep coming to the isthmus Of grow
ing inclination on the part Of the pee
pie of Ecuador to offer the Galapagos
Islands for sale to the United States.
The handsome price paid for the Virgin
Islands is said to have made a great
impression on ECuadOrians. The Gala
pages Islands have long been eco
nOmically worthless to Ecuador, but
all suggestions to sell them have been
hailed by opposing politicians as an
intrigue TO deliver the territory Of the
country into the hands Of foreigners
1t may be that the conduct of the
United States toward Latin America
under President Wilson has mitigated
the distrust of the United States AMI
inclined the Ecuadorians to consider
more leniently American possession
Of the islands.
The Galapagos lie about eight hun
dred miles southwest of the canal,
close to the road Of steamers plying
between the canal and New Zealand,
Australia, and the rest Of Oceania and
the lower East indies. 1t Is asserted
that the site would be a strategic
point for naval operations, an outpost
in the defense Of the canal, and a
haven for ships Of peace or war in a
vast stretch Of lonely sea. The popu
lation of the group is reported as about
four hundred persons.

ANTHRAX CASE
BEFORE BOARD

What to do with the cattle in the
Territory Dairy that have thus far
escaped the epidemic Of anthrax will
be the chief subject Of discussion this
afternoon at a joint meeting of the
agriculture and health boards, accord
ing to officials who are TO be present.
This question is said to be the most
difficult one that the board OF agri-
culture is now facing and several
ideas have been advanced for the re-
moval of the herd. One Of these is to
place it in a separate paddock at the
animal quarantine station.
Charles S. Judd, commissioner Of
forestry, said today that the board is
planning to decrease the size of the
quarantine district, probably to in
clude only the dairy itself.
There are no local restrictions as to
animals being brought to Oahu, so
that the quarantine regulations here
will not interfere with race horses
coming from Maui. Upon arrival here,
however, they will not be allowed to
leave until conditions warrant a
change in the quarantine rules. Ar
thur Rice, president of the board,
says that safe consideration and time
will be given before such changes are
made. The meeting is set for 4
