The southwestern part Of Kau, be- tween the town of waiehinu and the Kona boundary is probably the worst lava-devastated district oa Hawaii
 The lava flows in this region are undoubtedly the finest examples of the many on the island. There the cooled masses Of what were great riyera cf fire and molten rock are more terribly impressive, more bar len and Of more recent origin than any of the other OutpouTinss from Mauna Loa,
 Of the two forma tions that these lava flows take-pahoehoe, the glist- enlnS, smOoJh-surfaced, molasses-lilze formation, and a-a, the black, rough, chaotic and dis.ntegrsted formation the latter is most widely spread in Kau,
 The most interesting feature of these Eau flows is their newness. the latest having poured down Nauna Loans slope ia May, 1916, Nine years previous the great flow of 1907 spread devastation over this section and ip 1SS7 and 1868 two more of the massive flows of molten rock burned their savage course across the coun- LN tiF4N III AaSl t4ie "-lo4S hiu district is formed Of series after series of ancient and recent volcanic out pourluCs.
 In the twenty miles northwest of Wasohinu, excellent opportunity is af- ford.d to see the full extent and na- tUre of these flows. Not a bit of vegetation is visible on the black, barren surface of the recent flows, while between the branches of the 1907 flow is the magnificent Kipahoe-

 When this most recent of the lava flows broke out last year, gas explo- sions and dense smoke clouds issuing from Tauna Loa gave notice of the eruption. Vents and great cracks had opened at a point near the cone Puu- o-keo5eO, about ten miles above the road.
 Spectacular. awe-inspring, and of enormous and terrific power, the flows continued several days and di- vided Into two main branches. One branch of the fiery stream for a while threatened to sweep over Wa1ohinu and the other crossed the forest and pasture land into Kona.
 The 1907 flow broke out from Nauua Iloa's slopes at an elevation of more than ten thousand feet and in two days had swept down across the road to below the thousand foot level. On the lower levels 1t changed from pahoehoe to a-a creating a bleak wilderness and chaos Of chasms. gull lies and hills,

threatens to break the market is thus promptly taken care Of and the de- sired level of price maintained. The price fixing of the big monopoly thus takes the place of the old time law of supply and demand.
 Worst of all, we, the public, are eternally compelled to eat that which mas been stored the longest. Consump- ton is supplied from the back end. and our table supply-notably that of butter-becomes very difficult to obtain in any recognizable flavor.
 Recent investigations by the Con- gressional Committee resulted in ffnd- ing storage products that had been kept for some time more than a year. When we talk of proffteering on the necessaries of life wouldn't it be bet ter to begin at the top? It certain ly looks like betting on a sure thing the unlimited storage capacity, cou- pied with the financial ability to hold products and thus be able to create, at will, an artificial scarcity in a given commodity with an accom- panying high price to the same.
 That use has been made to the full lest extent of the opportunities of- fered of prOfiteering on the public at large seems more than borne out by the enormous fortunes made by the leading packers and also in a lesser degree by the very large num- Der of those associated with them
 Facts such as these go far towards discreditng the alleged infinitesimal character of such profits.
 How shall we disentangIe the claws of the big octopus? How shall we break the strangIe hold on the food nf Ia old-time conditions of a local food supply and prosperous farming com munities?
 Government intervention, of some sort. is evidently required.
 Here is Q plan which would seem as fairly well meeting the require- ments of the situation:-A Govern ment cold storage warehouse in every large city run, at cost, by the Gov ernment, and maintaining, at all times, food supplies sufficient to meet the wants of the dealer. Beef, but ter, and articles of farm produce re- quiring cold storage would thus meet with a quick transmission from farm to table. Motor lorries and trucks, supplemented when necessary by re- frigerator cars, would bring to it for conservation the products of the sur rounding country. Government certi- ficates on goods received would be issued to the farmer, to be cashed when the turn over sale had been made, or possibly, by a transfer of such certificates to a dealer in a given line.
 The era of cheap prairie farms and cheap grain has, doubtless, passed and there is no valid reason why a local production in every line of food supply should not be had and market ed at an adequate profit.
 With a Governmental cold storage warehouse in every large city the local farming industry would, every where take a new lease of life and We should once more have a conn paratively rapid transmission of per- ishable products from the farm to the table with a very large percentage of saving not merely in the cost price but in the flavor and the enjoyable ness of the same. The amount and character of the production needed would also be a matter of constant governmental supervision along with other data pertaining to such depart- ment.

THE PEOPLES SAY
THE CASE OF THE PACKERS.

EDITOR OF MES-FARMER:-
 A score or two of years ago we had here in New England productive farm communities throughout the length and breadth of this section.
 CapaciOuS and well built farm houses, barns and outbuildings, were everywhere in evidence. Substantial stone fences separated the different tracts of meadow and pasture land Over these meadows and pastures ranged countless herds of cattle sheep and hogs which sufficed to keep the local market amply supplied with what might without equivoca- ton be designated as fresh mea-. But ter, eggs and farm produce in gen. eraI were also to be had fresh from the near by farm with flavor unirn paired.
 Presto, a change. The big packer makes his debut on this provincial scene, He is after the market. The cheap grain and cheap beef of the prairie are an invincible weapon ia his hand and he uses it ruthIessly
 He will brook no competition. Dealers, in the early nineues, who bought of the local producer were discriminated against by the agent Of
 
 went to the wall. Cheap grain, cheap beef and big business had flattened him out.
 The summer tourist, automobilins through rural New England, sees to- day many a stretch of fertile coun- try not merely at a standstiL indus trially, but, in spite of the influx of foreigners, showing a big set back in it's former industrial life. Aban- doned farms are met with every where; in many cases a farm will be thrown in for the cost of the puIId- ings.
 This is one of the results of the activities of the big packer. Will the hundreds or possibly thousands of millions acquired by the big food monopolies make good for the de- creased farm valuation and the prac- tical wiping out of extended areas of industrial life? Is the bloated food monopoly, with its armies of retainers, and its throttling grasp on the vitals of the nation an equivalent compensation for this wiping out of individual industry? the larger sense, is it worth while?
 Take another view of the matter Fresh meat butter and eggs were, in the old time, something which made made life worth living. The gusta- tory fIatulence resulting from the modern diet of unlimited cold stor- age products certainly subtracts from such enjoyment and gives distinct ly malevolent bias to the individual
 The modern misuse of the benefi- ctent cold storage system by the high finance gentlemen crooks at Chicago is only one more instance of good thing gone bad. Here is where the misuse comes in. Enormous storage warehouses are provided having fairly unlimited capacity for the handling and preservation of peri shable food products. A surplus in any particular line of supply which

SPLENDID WORK OF DIVER
Feat Of Underwater Repairing on
Wrecked Steamer Is Given High
Praise by Shipping Men.

One Of the most remarkable feats In
the history Sof American labor, accord
ing to Capt. Louis Turner, represent
ing marine underwriters, was the sub
marine repairing of a steamer sal
vaged off the California coast by a
diver named Theodore Wicks. The
success of this man in his perilOus
work made 1t possible to raise the yes
sci for further important service in the
governments war program, where ship
ping is so urgently needed.
There were fully 100 patches Of tenn
porary nature to be put on the shatter-
ed sides Of the vessel while it was
humping about on the rocks, making it
by all odds the biggest job of the kind
ever attempted on the Pacific coast
The biggest patch was ten feet wide
and 16 feet long. Three layers Of inch
plank, with canvas between, were used
In patching. This kept the water out
while the ship was being pumped.
Large numbers of shipping men Wis
tied the Dry dock where the ship went
after Diver Wick's exploits, and were
astonished that it had been possible to
salvage the vessel at all. The divers
work is viewed all along the coast as
an inspiration to labor in it's great task
of winning The war.

DESPERATE LEAP FOR LIFE
Parachute the Only Hope of Occsl-
pants Of Observation Balloon
Destroyed at the Front.

A British observation balloon. an
cables cut by enemy airplanes. and
the balloon scared thousands OF feet
upward into the clouds. A writer In
London Mail, who witnessed the
incident, describes what followed.
From the point where it vanished, he
says, we presently saw one small
speck, then another, dropping from the
clouds. For some hundreds of feet
they fell like dead weights, then para
chutes opened, and the specks, now
revealed as men, were steadied in
their earthward course, floating rap
idly, but safely, to the ground.
After the balloon got free, they had
destroyed their papers and instru-
ments, clambered over the side of the
basket, and leaped for life into the

waists would open when they should.
Think of that desperate spring into
the vast, gray vapory nothingness be-
meath the balloon; the feelings of the
men as they made it, uncertain Of
what would happen; the awful sensa-
ton of casting yourself blindly from
such an appalling height with the
knowledge that only flimsy piece OF
material, which might act rightly and
might not, interviewed between your
self and a crash into the earth many
thousands of feet below; the tense
strain of the stone-like drop through
two hundred feet of the void before

anxious mental query, through the
later stages of the descent: "What

Wheat Not a Necessary Food.

Wheat is not necessary. We are
accustomed to regard wheat as more
or less indispensable article of diet.
It isn't. 1t is an article of luxury, and
absolutely nothing else. Wheat pos
sesses over oats, corn and rice absO-
lutely no nutritional quality for man
or beast. 1t has no more protein, and
no better protein. 1t has no more fat,
and no better fat. 1t has no mineral
salt better or in larger amounts. 1t
has no more fuel or better fuel. It is
just one Of the cereals, and there isn't
the slightest evidence that it is the
best one, because so far as compare
tive tests are concerned in animals.
1t isn't the best one; it is very far

PRESIDENT PLANS
TOUR OF. THE u S.
Wilson Seeks Public View on
World League
TRIP PLANNED FOR MARCH
Expects to Return to Peace Confer
ence After Learning Countrys
Opinion, Says Paris Dispatch
Plans Win Out.

Paris, Jan. 15.-President Wilson is
considering a speaking tour OF the
United States when he returns home.
1t is said that this trip will take him
into many of the principal cities and
it is possible that he may touch the
Pacific coast. His plans are not as
yet matured, but it is believed that he
has discussed the plan with his adj
visers.
With congress out of the way early
in March Mr. Wilson would have an
opportunity for such tour before re-
turning to Europe should he follow his
original plan and If his return should
be necessary. He would also have
time for his proposed trip before the
converting of an extraordinary session
of congress should he decide to call
one.
So far as known, Mr.. Wilson has no
plans for an extra session, but he still
holds to his idea of returning to the
peace congress, If it is felt his pres
ence is necessary to the success OF
the league or nations.
To Sound Public Sentiment.
The object of his proposed speaking
tour would be to inform the country
by personal contact of the proceedings
at Paris and at the same time sound
out and encourage public sentiment In
support of the peace principles he has
enunciated and which he feels have
been acclaimed by the masses in Eu-
rope.
There are as yet no official announce
ments of the presidents purpose, but
some of those close to him suggest
such a trip is feasible In view of the
fact that it is now certain that the
peace congress will still be working
on it's problems during the summer.
Mr.. Wilson's friends believe that pop
ular expressions in the United States
might support those of England
France and Italy and have great in
fiuence on European statesmen.
The president has told his friends
that he considers the receptions given
HIN by the people OI GufOpc, HOT DIS
personal Endorsement but an approval
of his peace principles. He is being
urged, therefore, to make speaking
tour to give opportunity for popular
manifestations of public opinion in his
own country.
President Wilson gave dinner to
members of the American peace COM
mission and it's technical advisers, in
Guiding e. N. Hurley, B. N. Baruch.
Herbert C. Hoover and Vance McCor-
mick. e. NJ House was the only alb
sentee, being still too i'll to leave his

or at a banquet to be given by the
French senate January 20.
League Of Nations Coming Up.
The first question to come up be-
fore the actual peace conference next
Saturday will be that of the proposed
league of nations, and it was made
known today that it had been planned
for the conferences to devote u hours
daily to this work if necessary, until
it is on the way to completion.

Germany From the Clouds.


''Eddie" Rickenbacker Is quoted as
saying:
Germany looks rather peaceful
from above and there seems to be little
disturbing them back a ways from the
lines. That is where an airman's
point of view is defective. The Ger
man hills and fields look as soft as
ours. Probably they are, which is
not very soft. Any field covered with
grass always looks soft and you think
it would make a fine landing place.

forced to land on any old field that
happens to be under you. some time
when you're enpanne you learn differ.
