BOY SCOUTSHU
KAHALA RODENTS
This Is a True Tale of Real Tails
Which Gives Young Nimrods
Lots of Sport

There are closed seasons for many
species Of game in Hawaii, but. the
Legislature has not yet got down to
providing one for rats
The rat season being open the year
around is providing considerable sport
for numerous Boy Scouts, several
scores Of whom were out yesterday
around Kahala, armed with air rifles
and popping at the big gray tree nest

ty.nine tails, which were placed in a
quart bottle. The boys quit the hunt
when the rontainer was filed.

Says Islands Are
By
Labor Shortage N

IPhor shortage in the Hawaiian
Islands is assuming a serious aspect.
Portuguese and Japanese labOrers are
daily leaving the Islands In large num-
hers and the immigration is almost
nil, " said Charles Naylor, assistant to
the vice president of the American
Surety Company Of Honolulu. who is
at the Plaza Hotel says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle of February "a.
"For the last year | haze been in
charge If construction work on the
new Hilo breakwater, which is a little
more than half finished. and every
month we have found more difficulty in
finding competent labor Men who
were induced to 90 to the Islands are
now anxious to leave for the United
States, where they believe they can
earn higher wages, and Japanese labor
ers are daily returning to Japan. This
in spite of the fact that the govern
ment prohibits persons of draft age
leaving the Islands.
"Ordinary japanese labor is earning
$55 O month on the breakwater. while
sub contractors earn from $4,000 to
$1,000 a year
Bonuses are offered for sturdy la
borers, and great competition prevails
between the sugar plantations and con
struction works. The planters have
petitiOned the government to allow
&c, 900 Chinese to enter the Islands, and
every employer of labor is anxious to
see this privilege granted, for unless
something is accomplished soon to re
ieve the shortage, many industries will
be forced to close down.

CaN For Second
Draft Is Likely
In April on May

p WASHINGTON, February 23-whilc
war department officials reiterate that
no date has definitely been fixed for
the calling of the second draft Of tn
National Army, all indications woul
seem to point to some time during
April or at the latest early in May.
Such an estimate is based on the
known preparations for equipping and
housing the men.
The number to be called in the first
increment has not yet been determined
because the question of housing then
has not been disposed of.
1t is possible that additional canton

SOME ROMANCE OF
 OKLAHOMA'S OIL
Rx HOLLAND

New York, June 26.-(Special)-Seve ty-five millions day is the revenue re- ceived from the new oil fields in north
 ern central Oklahoma. Two years ago there was no revenue from that source. As none of the stock of the corporation which has leased and operates these oil fields is for sale, all suspicion that ex- aggerated reports are put forth in order to attempt investment in oil securities Is removed. Two years ago this district was place of farms. as it is today. The farmers cultivated wheat and if weather conditions were good they garnered rich harvests as they are doing this year. They did not suspect that beneath the surface there lay deposited wonderful pools of oil, and it Is only within the past year CT two that they have with wonder learned what an income amount ing to htndrcds of dollars day means.
 New York business men who a few weeks ago visited ths oil country have brought back some romantic stories, one of thcm pathetic, which illustrates what the sudden possession of great wealth means to men and women who for years have been accustomed to gain no more than a fair living by cultivating the soil.
 One of these anecdotes refers to farmer who has lived in the Enid district since Oklahoma was opened up to settle-

Woodlawn women have banded them selves together in several Red Cross units and each day one or the other of the compan nies meets at the city hall to sew or work upon the regulation articles for the chapter. The excessive heat of June has been rather trying for these work CTS, and if some Good Samaritans will donate the use of several desk electric fans for the remainder of the summer the workrooms will be much more com fortable. If any person desires to assist the Woodlawn Red Cross units in this way communicate with Woodlawn 3l9-LS.
