HARVARD GRAMMAR

The two city men, walking along q country road, were discussing chicken raising as gainful oc- cupation and one of them had made some reference to setting hens.
 Sitting hens" corrected his friend.
 This started a long and acrimon- ious debate. At last the two men agreed to leave the matter to an old farmer who was seen approach ing in a buggy.
 The farmer was accordingly haii- ed, the question was put to him by the disputants and the old man was asked for his decision.
 Speaking as a practical man, replied the farmer, 'I don't reckon it makes much difference whether you say sitting or setting What want to know is when l hear hen cackling whether she's lying or laying Giddap, Bess."

HUNTERS MUST KNOW
 HOW TO READ TRACKS

Camera hunting is just about as papular today, even among sports ment, as gun-hunting, and to secure a picture or study an animals hab- it's 1t is often necessary 10 track It.
 Campers are at a disadvantage when they cannot read tracks seen around the camp. A friends of mine lost a large part of his supplies through assuming that tracks he saw were those of his dog. That night a pair of timber wolves just about cleaned out his pantry.
 writes L. E. Eubanks in the Hunter Trade-Trapper Columbus, O.
 "One of the fundamental things to know about tracking is that the mode of travel effects the trail. Any animal makes a more distinct track when running because of strlk- ing the ground with more force. Also the snow or dirt is kicked back ward. Do your tracking against the sunlight if possible, 50 that every little dent will show shadow.

WHERE ARE YOU SAFEST
Rv T. Beniamin Faucett


 You think that it's in your bath tub that you are safest, do you9 Well, it isn't. Lots of things may happen to you in the tub. Ycu may get a cramp in your neck that will pull your head under water and keep it there until the coroner breaks open the door. You may step on the soap as you get out and dislocate a vertebra as well as your temper. Or. as gentleman actually did not long ago, you may reach up your dripping hand to turn on the current. In the process you may get an electric shock from the socket to iron tub that will quite discourage you from talk ing any more baths except by gas light.
 Tn bed? No, that won't do ei- ther. The newspapers reported the other day the misfortune of the man who went to bed with a very hot water bottle and was seriously burned while asleep. And people have been known to fall out.
 As a matter of fact, your home is about as dangerous a place as there is for you. This refers m no way to domestic diplomacy; % per cent of the accidents with which insurance claim departments have to deal happen while persons arc either at home or on the street.
 Per contra" as Foch said when they asked him if he was beaten in 1918, the safest place for you is on a train or a street car or a steamship. One reason is that when you go travelling you half ex- pect to reach your destination on a stretcher or minus limb or so. Every time the Pullman car wakes you at night with an extra vicious bump you say to yourself There the wreck has come al lastr' Every time you get off 2 street car you reach the sidewalk with a feeling of triumph at out witting the hungry automobiles tha- snapped at your coat tails. And II is just that attitude that brings you safely through the perils of the modern city.
 Suppose a big liner hits an ice berg. In a few hours the wireless brings aid. Last January when the Powhatan was disabled 300 miles off Halifax she summoned help and was almost immediately surrounded bv a ring of other liners, destroyers coast guard cutters, freighters and tramps. But if you fall into your bathtub head first, can you Send out a wireless call? No. You arc alone. Modern science has not ye' produced for the home any of the safety signals that protects rail. roads.
 It is not all due to the individual that he is safest on the train. The railroads have installed so many in genious automatic systems, to say nothing of the trackwalkers, that Ii is to them that the credit goes There is one much-traveled subway that with reason boasts itself the safest railroad in the world be cause only one life has been lost ir accidents on 1t during its history. How about your shop or youl i office? They are getting safer | it's true, but they are not so saf: as the railroads. Shop maehiner, is surrounded with more and nor, guards, to keep men from falling against travelling belts or whirlins wheels Still, the shop is mor' dangerous than it should be, and a for the office, there was a youns officer whose only wound in tn war was received when a careles electrician dropped an electric bull on his head as he sat at desk il

MAUI COUNTY FAIR

Opened yesterday morning, in full swing today, reaching its climax
on Saturday and closing on Sunday the Third Maui Fair, after weeks
of prospect, is now an actually. In its realization comes the compenn
sation of the many weeks of treeSs work and endeavor by those IN
charge of its preparation and of its every department for the Maui Fair
is worth while. Maui may well take pride in its achievement, such
pride is well justified.
Few really know the community in which they live and a county
fair such as Maui's is a revelation to most of those who enter Its gates,
a source of instruction as well as of entertainment and amusement IT
is even more for it furnishes an opportunity for the people of Maui
and for their friends from the other islands to get together such as
otherwise could not be afforded.
In extent the Third Maui Fair approaches territorial wide scope
1t is the only fair in Hawaii this year. The fair management has reahz
ed this and has extended its efforts. 1t has achieved spendidy. Maui
could alone present displays OF the result of cane growing, pineapple
proucton and preserving, livestock, agriculture, horticulture and forl-
culture such Is no other island can equal and it would take all together
to surpass. In industrial exhibits it has needed cooperation from Ho-
noulu and that cooperation has been generously extended. 1t has also
been accorded a cooperation from the Army on Oahu which has spell
ed success and for which the thanks of all Maui are extended.
Maui takes pride in its Fair and it takes pride in the men who
made the fair this year as well as those who pioneered in the two
previous fairs. The last named laid a splendid foundation, the present
management, under the able direction OF Harold w.. Rec, have bulded
magnhcenty. What they have done all Maui should see and it is not
too much to wish that hundreds, yes thousands, from the other Islands
could have secured accommodations so that they also might come to
some knowledge of the real Maui such as the fair offers.
Maui News, extends it congratulations to the Fair Director, to the
Executive Committee, to the Fair and Racing Association and to all
Maui for what has been done so well.

THE MAUI SPIRIT.

There is no other Island than Maui that could do it" remarked
a prominent HonOluan yesterday moor as he looked over the Fair
grounds. He referred to the general ensemble, grounds, buildings,
contents and the growing crowds. "The secret" he said, rs CO.
OPERATION"
And he was right, for cooperation is the keynote OF the arch.
The Maui spirt is HELPFULNESS and helping one another is CO.
operation, the exercise OF the individual endeavOr for the community
result.
Newcomers have to be but a little while in the Valley Isle before
they become aware of the cohesiveness of Maui folk. There is not
the pulling this way and that way that detracts from results else
where. In unselhshness of endeavor, in a recognition that the good
of the community is the good of each individual member and he or
she who endeavOrs will have his or her full share of fthe benefits with
each other individual member, the Maui spirit is the same that marked
those frontier settlements OF the United States that thrived and grew.
When a man does well, tell him so. When he needs encouragement,
give it to him, place the community first and go forward with it.
This is the Maui Spirit.
