Mrs. Wiggs" at Home

The Teacup Club turned out
over fifty strong yesterday after
noon at the marriage of Miss
Hazy" to her mail order husband,
"Mr. Huggins," at the home of
Mrs. Wigs in the Cabbage
Patch" Merriment ran high and
for one brief hour thetragedies
Of life were forgotten, even the
high cost of living. The charac-
ters were well taken. Mrs. Bar
ber was a perfect "Mrs. Wigs"
and with her freckled face asia"
(Mrs. PerozzD, her four-year-old
"Europena" (Mrs. Pratt and
that lively boy, "Bflly" (Mrs.
Gregg, they gave the guests to
the wedding Il royal welcome,
Miss Hazy" (Mrs. Denton), be-
wilderingly beautiful in bridal at
tire, marched majestically down
the stairs and to the altar, only
to find that the groom had not ar
rived. After anxiety and tears
"Mr. Higgins" (Mrs. Judd Miller)
appeared, carpet bag in hand, but
upon seeing the bride fell in
faint Miss Hays" caresses soon
revived him and the unique cere-
mony, sparkling with Mrs. Dill's
characteristic wit, was performed
by Brother Hezekiah," after
which they all sang 'Pull for the
Shore" Miss Lucy" (Mrs. Mae
Adams) gave two splendid read
ings. Billy made a speech and
the dumb orchestra music. "Dain-
ty refreshments" consisting of
mulligan, Mexican beans and cOf-

May Party

The Westminster Guild of the
Presbyterian church, whose men,
bership includes Mrs. Wick's Sun
day school class, has a reputation
for doing delightful things, but
Monday evening they surpassed
themselves in carrying out a clever
surprise on the pastors wife. Mrs,
kOehler was just assembling the
family to supper, when a commit
Zee of ladies appeared at the door
and demanded her instant attend
arce at the church. There she
found Il table beautifully spread,
laden with goodies and at her
place a dainty May basket not
only containing flowers but "A sub
stantial purse of money as a gift
OF good will from the Guild, pre-
sented with a beautiful original
poem written by Mrs. Robert
sons mother, Mrs. William John
sen. The charming bit of verse
is especially priced because its
author is sc years of age, but
blessed Alth the rarest Christian
loveliness of character and full OF
lively interest in the church. The
fellowship and feasting lasted un-
til . o'clock and in the heart OF
the one so honored, at least, will
leave a loving grateful memory
through life.

FIRST COOLING MOTH
SPRAY FOR APPLES DUE

The arsenate of lead spray for
codling moth on apples should be
applied Immediately after the pc
tails fall. The exact time for this
spray will vary a few days for the
different sections of the county.
On large orchards it is necessary
to start this operation when about
half of the petals have fallen in
order to get over the orchard by
tine time the calices close.
The calyx cup OF the apple will
close within a weeks time after
the petals fall and if spray is not
applied while the calyx cup is
open it will not be possible to
keep the codling moth larvae from
entering the calyx end of the ap-
pie later in the season.
1t is not necessary to spray
pears for codling moth at this
time because the calyx of the pear
does not close like it does in the
apple. However in some pear Or
chards where leaf eating insects
are present such as in the saw
fly larvae, green fruit worm, can
ker worm, cut worms, etc. Where
the above insects have been
troublesome ii is advisable to
spray the pears at this time.
Materials to use: Use powdered
arsenate of lead, two to three
pounds to the hundred gallons, or
paste arsenate of lead four to six
pounds to the hundred gallons.
Where green aphis are present
add one gallon of distillate oil
emulsion and three-fourths pint
of nicotine sulphate to the hun
dred gallons, This combination
is also very efficient as preven-
tion for the spread OF blight on
pears and applies.
Use angle nozzle with good
pressure and a driving spray that
will penetrate so that -the calyx
cups will be well filled. Be sure
tc apply this spray before the
calyx cups close.

GRANTS PASS.-A large num-
her of eX-serviCe men who have
made the trip west to take up
homesteads under the soldiers
prefence act, have a right to feel
a crouch. One former soldier, it
is claimed, went to a local engin-
eering office and asked concerning
a certain piece of land. He was
told that it was worthless as farm
land. He refused to be convinced,
however, and said that the gov
erEment book said ii was sandy
loan and was rolling land. He
made a trip a number of miles out
in the country and looked it over,
1t was even worse than represent
ed by the local engineers. The
rolling hills" were steep noun
tains and the SANDY loan" was
decomposed shale. He claimed
he was brought out by false rep
resentation. Many men in the east
come here with the expectation
of getting good farms. The ones
that are good have been taken al
ready. The men are generally of
limited means aud II works a
upon them.

1000 ACRES WILL
BE SET TO ORCHARDS

EUGENE.-That 1000 acres of
new orchard lands will be planted
in Lane county this year is the
opinion of local nursery men.
More than 500 acres have already
been planted so far, they say. The
principal fruit set out has been
prunes, as the orchardfsts have
been encouraged to plant by the
unprecedented prices of the past
two seasons. There is also con-
siderable demand for walnut
trees, as mnch of the soil in this
section has been found to be well
adapted to walnut culture.

WOULD INTEREST
EX-SERV|CE MEN

The following open letter has
been issued by Oregon service men
and o. A. c. service men to ex-
comrades to interest them in the
higher educational tax measure
to be voted on at the primary
election, May 81:
May 10, 1920.
Dear Comrade;
There are 1900 ex-seryice men
at the University of Oregon and
the Oregon Agricultural college,
We all enrolled in good faith af-
ter the armistice to finish our ed
ucation.
Now we find, however, that nei-
ther University nor College will
be able to train all of us after
this term, unless the voters pass
the Higher Educational Tax Act
on May 81. If that bill is defeat
ed, probably 1000 young men and
women, including many of us, will
be turned away.
Ii a man had had a family of
four in 1913 with an income of
500 a month, but in 1920 had
family of ten with an income
OF only $40 q month, he would
be in the same position as the
State University and the Agricul-
tural College.
For the tax revenue from the
state for these two big schools
has increased less than four per
cent in seven years, while their at
tendance has increased $50 per
cent. At the same time, the buy
ing power of their income has fall
len to about 45 cents ON the dol
lar, because of the world wide rise
in costs.
The foregoing facts are given
in greater detail in the accOmpa-
nying leaflet, which we ask you
to read and to hand to a neigh
Dor We appeal to every com
rade to vote for the Higher Ed
ucational bill, which will protect
higher education not only for ex-
service men but for every Oregon
yOungster.
VOTE IT 310 X YES.
And of curse no American Le-
gion member will forget that
there is also on the ballot the Sol
diers, Sailors and Marines Ed
ucational Aid Revenue bill, to
provide two-tenths of one mill for
educational financial aid to sol
diers, sailors and marines who

they enlisted Don't miss No. 3l2

The primary election for the new
board of directors OF the Ashland
Commercial Club is under way to-
day. Ballots are being mailed OUT
today to the 52S members.
Election Method
In the mailing which goes out
to each member today is includ-
ed complete roster of names of
the Commercial Club membership,
a primary ballot and a return ell
velope. Each member selects IL
names of men and women from the
raster whom he considers best fit
ted for the responsibilities of the
directorate and writes them on the
primary ballot. The primary bal
lot must be mailed or brought in
to the Commercial Club before Z
p. m, Thursday evening, May 49,
This means that all members must
make their selections and remail
Immediately upon receiving the
abllot.
Election Judges
AT a meeting of the old trustees
tonight committee of election
judges will be selected who will
count the election returns. The
names of the "a men and women
who receive the greatest number
of votes in the primary election
will be placed on a FINAL BAL
LOT. Additional names may be
added to this final ballot by peti-
tion. That is, any name may be
placed on the final ballot in ad-
dition to the twenty-four receiv-
ing the greatest number of votes
in the primary, by a petition sign
ed by twenty-five members OF the
club. The reason for this pro-
vision is obvious. Each major
group in the city should be repre-
sented on the board of directors.
Suppose that the fruit-growers,
Tor instance, should each vote for
a different man in the primary
and that no man representative
of the fruit-growers should get
enough votes in the primary to
place his name on the final bal
lot. This is most unlikely but
might possibly occur. If it should.
the fruit-growers could place one
or several names on the final bal
lot by securing twenty-five sigma
lures TO a petition asking that the

name be added. Then the fruit

in the final election for the man

them. This petition method is a
safeguard against the possibility
Of any major group failing to have

The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1920-09-10
md PROFITS

Beyond such interest as attaches to the entrance into the Maui
industrial field of a new commercial concern and the profits that
may accrue to investors therein the planting of $50 acres to bananas
at Nahiku is fraught with other possibilities for Maui and the Islands.
If, as the company expects, direct transportation of fruit from this
Island to the coast shall result, the advantages and opportunities con
sequent will rebound not only to the benefit of the new company but
to hundreds OF others, many, perhaps most, of small means, who can
then grow bananas for the mainland market.
Bananas are the idea. crop for the small individual farmer. They
are among the easiest of food plants to grow, give good soil, stuff
cient water and drainage and protection from wind. In fact they are
so easily grown that little profit has attached in the home markets
which would have been gluted had the fruit been more generally
grown. AheF a first planting and a wait of a little more than a year
a constant production is assured since the fruit natures from month
to month and replanting is not necessary for a period of about five
years.
The Territory once shipped about 10000 punches a month to the
Coast but now its shipments are only about 10000 while the market
could absorb all that can be shipped from here. In the Western
United States 3,5OOOOO punches a year are now used and the supply
is far under the demand. On Maui alone it is said there are 10000
acres suitable for banana growing. Besides that there is the home
field, the army is now investigating the supply for a possible emergency
ration and dried bananas and banana flour making still further open
sources of income from fruit growing.
Success of the venture at Nahiku with fruit CARRYING vessels
to the mainland would open the way. for banana growing to vie with
sugar and the pineapple among the sources of income for Maui resi-
dents.
