What S in a Name?
By Mildred Marshall.
MINNIE.

The simple little name of Minnie

grandfather of three primeval gods
Odin, Will and We, and 1t was these
three who gave life to the first pair
Of human beings. Will was the will
of man. His name echoes down
through the ages of Morse myth
olOgy in various combinations,
which SAVIOR boldly Of NaIhalla and

battle. Her name was popular
among Morse maidens and even had
vogue in Teutonic countries. Will

mime counterpart of this name was
Wilhelmina. Always popular in
Germany. it was adopted by Eng
land and penetrated Holland. where
the most famous modern woman

helmina, beloved of the Dutch.
England found the name a trifie
cumbersome in spite of its regality
and it gradually changed under
British influence to Wi1met Will

diminutive Minnie. America has
reached out and extracted Minnie
from the numerous derivatives, dis

occasional exception of Wilhelmina
which invariably changes tC

France makes the name even
more ponderous by calling it Gull

CHINA PAYS $45, 900 FOR
MURDER OF V. s.. MISSIONARY

MANILA, July 1~0.-Unof1cial re-
ports received here say that on Tune
q the Chinese government rendered
S45,000 in compensation for the muir
der of Rev. Mr.. Reimert, an American
missionary, in Yochow, during the re-
cent retreat Of the government troops.
The American legation is reported
to have represented to the Chinese
foreign Office that although the sum
was sufficient, the United States
would nevertheless insist that Gener-
al Chang Dbl Gyo, commander Of the
troops in question, be held personally
responsible.
1t is significant, according to the re-
port, that although the government
has admitted the incompetence prop
ly to discharge the duties of military
governor of Human; and despite the
fact that he has been shorn of his
military titles and honors following
the loss of Chang Sha; a presidential
mandate pardons the former fault, so
as to give a chance to render better
service in the future" The blame is
shifted to the shoulders of the gen.
erals brP.hers, Chang Ting Tang, and
Chang CHI Chung, who were the gen
erals appointees and subordinates in
command. They, it is said have been

HAWAII OPTIMISTIC
OVER PINEAPPLE OUT LOOK

Flowing and planting of the Kohala
pineapple lands gives an appearance
of great activity in that region, e.
port travellers who have recently pass
ed through the district. Hundreds of
acres are already under pines and
hundreds more are being prepared for
planting. That, within a year or so,
there will be at least 1000 acres under
pines is thought to be a conservative
estimate.
The foundations for the big cannerX
which is to be erected about one mile
from Sam Woods place, are already in
and the rest of the work is going
ahead rapidly.
Many homesteaders have built their
homes and are now residing on their
lots. Most of them are going in for
corn, chickens, pigs and garden truck,
so that they can make their home
steads self-supporting. In every in
stance an acre or two of the land is
being reserved from pineapple plant
ing with a view to raising other food
stuffs.
Cultivation contracts are said to
have been made by homesteaders and
Japanese huis whereby one ton out Of
every seven of pines goes to the own
er of the land. Crops of about 16 tons
to the acre are expected~-the
first growth. 1t is freely predicted
that ~pineapples will sell at around
about $50 a ton in 1921.-Hilo Post
