Hawaiian Custom of Adoption of Chill

Amusing Complications.

The very old custom Of legal adop-
ton in the Hawaiian islands, which
originated when there were many
tribes often at war with one another,
was intended to bring peace among
them. The cause has long since dis
appeared, but the custom still persists.

relative or friend, the little baby, as

one woman who was the mother of

The custom leads to very amusing
complications. One of the native

baby to her own mother. The little girl
is legally adopted, and therefore has
become the grandmother's daughter.

It Is said that, for the most part.
water if applied in sufficient quantities
will eventually quench any fire. In
some cases. however. water not only
proves Intellectual but actually kindlcs
and nOurisheS the fire.
When a freighter, the Hardy
steamed out of LIE Treport, France,
some years ago she carried, Desioes
the mineral water in her hold, num-
Der of small wooden cases marked
metallic sodium"
Now, the channel was rough. The
vessel rolled and pitched violently.
The captain saw that the ship was list
ing to port, and suspecting that the
cargo was shifting sent q boatswaln
below to Investigate. AS the BOAT
swain entered the hold he saw that
several cases Of mineral water nao
broken and that the water was SWISH
ing about in the hold. Then suddenly
he saw one Of the wooden cases
marked sodium" burst into flame.
Immediately he gave the alarm, ana
the crew rushed to their fire stations.
The captain directed the men to turn
the hose into the hold. AS the nrst
stream Of water struck the. burning
case there were several explosions as
package after package within the case
caught fire. By this time two otner
cases of sodium had broken open, ana
their contents, as they came in con-
tact with the water from the hose'
burst into flame.
The crew could not believe their
eyes. The more water they poured on
the fire, the more intense grew the
confagration. Then suddenly TWO
cases flew into the air, crashed against
the overhead beams and spread out In
sheets Of fire, the smaller pieces drop
ping back only to bounce and dance
about, huge balls of flame In the half
swamped hold.
The superstitious crew was fast be-
coming unmanageable, and the captain
saw that in any case he must abandon
the ship. He ordered the crew to the
boats nofsa moudent too soon, for as
the boats rowed away from the blazing
hulk several loud explosions came from
the hold. Then there was one mighty
defamation the freighter broke in two
and plunged out of sight.

Grub for Goldfish.

In Japan, whese fancy varieties Of
goldfish are highly esteemed, the "lion
headed" sometimes fetching 500 a
pair, silkworm cocoons (after the silk
is wound off them) are used to feed
the young in breeding ponds. For this
purpose they are dried, pounded to a
fine powder and mixed with wheat
starch. Chopped earthworms and mos
quito larvae supplement this item Of
nursery diet.
A curious practice of the japanese
is that of ornamenting goldfishes with
coats-of-arms, floral devices, etc., the
designs being etched with dilute hydro
chloric acid.

peanut butter, refined OIL sheled

necessities which the peanut is now
fast supplying.
This concern will need the cooper

ii comes and the cooperation which
can be given will easily assist the
enterprise into the stages where it
will prove a paying establishment for
its owners. 1t is practically settled
now that the concern is coming and
plans will be under way for the con
6truction of buildings and the plac-
ing Of machinery.
Men who believe in the peanut and
its products should get in touch with
these people and lena hand. 1t will
mean an addition to the already fine
local market for peanuts. This In

factor in saving the section from the

LIQUOR TRAGEDIES

The prohibition advocate years ago
when the state passed laws banning
the sale OF liquar in Georgia, thought
that the demon rum was gone. The
lunknowing sentimentalist disappear
ed for the fight was over. That type
of anti-lQuor fighter is gone-almost
gone One seldom sees or hears the
old appeal But the liquor consumer is
still here. His reeling frame goes by
the blink of an eye into the grave
through the old, old tragedy. Read
the following repetition of the old
story:
Swainsboro, Ga. March 3.-N.
A, Ison, who was brought here
to Franklin's Sanitarium last
Sunday night suffering with bul-
let wound in his stomach, died
today.
The shooting was done by
Ison's grown daughter. Lucille.
Iscn went to his home looaded
with moonshine whisky and COM
menced Trailing out the family.
He had threatened the girl that
did the shooting and was beating
his wife when the shot was fired.
1t is not our intention to boast that
such tragedy could not occur with.
in the borders of this community but
we can manifest Joy in the conduct
Ipf people who know how to avoid
liquor brawls, 1t is here, it true, con.
uaband, moonshine-many types of
it, and it is doing us harm wherever
a user forgets himself far enough to
let it interfere with his good habits.
his steady business application.
The strongest hope is in the every
day man who will impress the neces-
sity of refraining from conditions
which might invite the tragedy here
recounted, The dangers of death
accompany incorporate uses OF Ii
quor, Many a man loads up till his
reason is gone and before he is sob

has caused his trouble. We fear the
tgrowing tendency to disregard the
laws against liquor making and liquor
traffic. The disregarding of tht
rights of men and communities natu
lrally follow. and that stage is fraugh
with dangers to every good elemen
