IN THE DAYS NEWS


 "The name of the town of Ismid, where the recent retreat of Greek forces made possible an attack on Constantinople by the Turkish Nation alists and raised the first grave threat of drawing other European headlines if the modern newspaper had exist ed throughout historic times" says a bulletin issued by the National Geo. graphic Society from it's Washington, D. C., headquarters.
 'fsmid's once important harbor is now silted and it's population is barely 20,000. But before Constantinople was enlarged by Constantine the Great, Is- mid-then Nicomedia-was for a time the capital of the Roman Empire and the metropolis of the Near East.
 Situated at the end of the Gulf of ISmid, which forms the sharp Asiatic end of the Sea Of Marmora, and with ground behind it, the town lay in the route of the natural highway from Sy- ria, Persia, Mesopotamia and the en- tire Near East to the Bosphorus and Europe. In the old days. caravans in- numerable carrying the riches of the East plodded around the end of the gulf, paused to pay commercial tri- bute to the strategically situated city and continued west along the low coast of the gulf for the 50 miles thar separated Ismid from Constantinople And when the steel highway and iror horse that were to connect Berlin anc Bagdad came to replace the more pic turesque but less efficient camel anc his dusty road, the same natural patf was utilized and Ismid became a rail. way station.

radically different in Hawaii and
the situation critical, it may be not
only proper but necessary to adopt
policies there which are neither de-

DROUGHT IN PUERTO
De LUNA DISTRICT
Is FINALLY BROKEN

Puerto de Luna, n. M, July %,
The rain of Tuesday night broke
the drought which had hung over
this irrigation district for over a
month. For some unaccountable
reason the copious rains that have
visited the immediate surroundings
hereabout seemed to fight shy of
this particular locality. The ditch
es had been so badly shattered by
the heavy rains of over month
ago that the ditch owners had not
been able to make the water run
until the very eve of the present
drouth- breaking rain.
Puerto de Luna East side COM
munity ditch is supplied with its
water by means of wing dam di-
rect from the Pecos river, about
five miles above. The wing at the
intake had just been reconstruct
ed having been washed away by a
flood. Tuesday nights rain
brushed away the dam once again,
80 that the land holders will be
without water for some time to
come. If a continuation of the
present rain spell justifies it, 1t is
said that the irrigationists will get
fairly good crops in spite of their
drawbacks and it Is thought that
thew will not proceed to make any
very substantial repairs on their
ditch until the fall.
