Hilo Island of Hawaii (By maiD -
Owners of coal black game cocks are
keeping out an eye to see that the
chicken house door Is locked securely
every night.
And that's all because the volcano of
Kilauea Is now the most active ii has
been for IS years.
Many years ago, when the islands
first were becoming a white mans
land. kilauea became angry: 1t roared
and Kissed and sputtered and the
ground shook. Then the lava over
flowed and moved slowly down the
mountain side toward Hilo.
The native Hawaiians had been
Christians but a comparatively snort
time. Their fright knew no bounds,
for the island legends were full OF the
tales of what kilauea did when Mad
anne Pele. the goddess who liked In
Kilauea's crater, became angry.
So the Hawaiians prayed that the
flow would stop. But II didn't.
Then they danced. But that was
ineffective.
Finally, forgetting their Christian
ity for a time, they sent party by
canoe to Honolulu to consult a few re-
maining priests of the days when they
all worshipped the strange. south Sea
dieties.
Throw q black rooster into the lava
flow" was the advice they brought
back.
The sleelest, shiniest cock on the Is
land OF Hawaii was picked for the sac
rifice. and while the maidens danced,
the warriors cast the sauaking bird
into the base of the lava flow
In Ar hour the flow had stopped. Ma :

Of the island, evidently had been sat

Jap DELEGATES
DEPART TODAY
FOR The U. S.
Leave Toxic for Washington to
Attend international Labor
CONFERENCE.-THE Represen-
tative Chased by Mob.

Toxic, Oct. 17.-When the Japanese
delegat tion to the international labor
conference departed today for Wash
ington, delegate Matsumoto was forced
to approach the Fushimi Maru in a
private launch from a distant pier In
order to avoid an angry mob Of la
borers.
The demonstration was the culmin-
alton of many protests over what was
termed the irregular method used in
selecting the delegate. The anger CEN
tered particularly upon Matsumoto be-
cause he Is not himself laborer.
Matsum<o in an interview, said he
would strive earnestly at the confer
ence in Washington for the interna-
tional eight-hour day.
At the Toxic meeting, when dele
safes were chosen to the labor con-
ference, Magosabura Domaye Of the
Osaka Iron Workers Union, declared
the real Psychology of the workers
could not be known by any, but the
workers themselves. He moved that
n delegate be chosen from among the
manual workers.
Domsye's motion was lost by large
ma jority. whereupon he and. hve 9TH
ere left the chamber in anger.
The gathering finally appointed a
committee Of 20, which chose the dele
gates. Matsumoto is a university man.

be about per cent interest upon the

sum could be cared for by a levy of

of the state.
Commissioner Babcock is anxious
that as many counties as possible shall
follow this plan, for two reasons:
First, thai the state shall at once, in
an intelligent and co-ordinated man
ner, enter upon the new road construc-
ton program, second, that the funds
appropriated by the federal govern
ment for the use of Minnesota shall
not be lost to the state. !.
Several counties have already made
arrangements to go ahead under this
program. Dakota county will spend

expend large sum also. Other

First Chance to Get
Good Roads Now
MINNESOTA RAS SEVERAL MIL
LIONS WHICH CAN BE DRAWN
ON NOW, HOWEVER.

State Highway Commissioner &. M.
Babcock, in a discussion with The
Mercury's Ad-Man at st. Paul last
week, advices counties which are am
bilious to begin the building of the
new style permanent paved highways
20 get busy at once.
The congress which has just ex-
pired appropriated the sum of $780,
100000 for federal aid for post roads.
This money was apportioned among
the states and the share Of Minnesota
was fixed at slightly more than ST.
100000 for the years 1919 and 1920.
| Of course it is expected that this po-
Icy of federal aid for the construc-
ton of roads will be continued, but
there is no certainty upon that point.
Therefore it behooves each county, as
unit, to arrange as quickly as posi-
BILE, TO get its share Delay may mean
that we may loose out entirely.
The reason for this is that while
the federal fund is to be paid in to
the various states when the latter are
in shape to match the federal dollar
with a state dollar, there is no meth
cd whereby Minnesota as state can
put up a single dollar to get this
federal assistance until the new Bah
cock plan has been voted upon by the
people and becomes law. The Bah
cock plan will not be law, even II
the people approve, until two years
| hence, but arrangements have been
made whereby individual counties are
permitted to go ahead on this basis.
i For instance, Fillmore County may
vote its bonds for roads to be built
along the proposed Babcock highways
system and get as many dollars of
the federal aid fund as its votes of
bonds. In case the Babcock plan is
approved by the people two years
hence, the amount of the bonds will
he refunded to the county from the
funds provided in the Babcock plan.
i ahead with road construction imme-
diately and at the worst have to pay
This wouldf mean that we can GO
half the proposed cost, and at the
best the only expense to the county
will be the interest on the amount
of the bonds for two years plus cleo
ton expenses.
To make a specific illustration:
Suppose the board of county COM
missioners desired to avail themselves
of the opportunity to get federal aid
money this year and next. Let us say
that they proposed to build perma-
nent hard surfaced highway, a paved
highway, if you please from the coun-
ty line just north of Spring Valley
through Spring Valley to Preston
The distance is approximately 30 miles
The cost per mile for roads which will
meet the requirements of the Babcock
j system is estimated at $4,000 per
mile. This would make the cost. OF
Isuch a road from the county line north
of Spring Valley to Preston $4,000.
1t would therefore be necessary for
Fillmore county to vote bonds to the
amount of one-half that amount, or
$27, 900. The other half, or $270,O0O,
would be donated from federal aid
funds in hand, and the cost of the
road to the county would be $4,000
per mile.
i But, if the people vote the big bond
issue asked under the Babcock plan,
in just two years time the other
/ $4,000 would be returned to Fill
more county by the state highway

Bank resources of the ninth federal

ernor of the Ninth District Federal
Reserve bank, announced Tuesday.
The gain in resources of the banks of
the district during the last four
years has been more than $500, 900,
he declared in pointing out the pros
perity of the northwest.
During this time, the report shows,
the northwest has absorbed in excess
of 81, 900, 100000 in government securi-
ties. The sale of Liberty Bonds in the
five campaigns totaled $804,000,00O,
his figures show. Added to this is the
vast amount of War Savings Stamps,
Thrift Stamps, and tax and treasury
certificates disposed of by the govern
ment during the war period.

any thing approaching a system of

the times and the progress made in
other states.
THE plan now contemplated to pro-
coed with the building of a statewide
system of highways with the funds
available, to make ready for further
work when a bond Issue is possible,
should be adhered to. Road building
should not be abandoned by the state
and left to the various counties. The
bond issue itself should not be delay
ed any longer than necessary. An in
vestment of $50, OOO, 900 in roads in
