Rev. Steven Reuben of the Metho-
dist Church at Lapiwai returned home
after coming to Tutuilla because the
pastor and session of the Tutuilla
Church announced to him that they
did not approve Of his practice and
attitude relative to several Of the wild
and heathenish customs Of the In
dians. Among them being his parti-
cipation in the wild feasts for the
dead and the Indian doctors antics in
healing. These they hold as unbecom-
ing a Christian much less a minister

ments in the jailbreak affair of Sat

DecIare Trees Dead

An examination Of many of the older
trees led one well known grower TO
assert that practically all these trees
have been killed approximately foot
above the ground and he predicts that
there will be no prune crop and few
trees survive the effects Of the severe
cold. other equally good authorities
claim that while the wood appears
dark under the bark indicating prob
able damage, the bark itself remains
green and healthy and as the sap
comes up through the bark and fur
nishes nutriment for the tree II is be-
lieved recovery will be good.
This theory Is borne out of the fol-
lowing incident. The Milton Nursery
was preparing to ship car
of prune and pear trees to a long es-
Ia blished orchard firm in California
when the cold snap broke over the
valley. The trees of necessity had to
In the field all during the cold
and after warm weather came the
trees were examined and the wood
found to be discolored.
