PAPER MEN GATHER WILL.
SEE GREAT VOLCANO.

HilO, Island of Hawaii, T. H.-(By
A. P)-Delegates to the Press Con
gress of the World, which will meet
in Honolulu next October, and will
visit this island at the conclusion of
their business sessions, will be shown
the spot where forty years ago, a
flow of lava fromMaunaloa volcano,
which threatened to destroy this city,
was stopped in its path as a princess
of the royal line faced the oncoming
river of fire and prayed that Hilo
might be spared.
Not only will the visitors see the
spot where the ten months flow of
lava finally stopped as Princess Ruth
faced the molten river alone, but they
will hear from the lips of men who
saw the incident the story of Hilo's
escape.
For more than 800 days, according
to eyewitnesses, the lava had been
pouring steadily from the mountain
side, when suddenly the stream of
fire changed its course and bore down
on the city of Hilo. The efforts of
the white men failed to stop the ap-
prOach of disaster, so Hawaiians
took the matter into their own hands.
1soyeti iio w dlloil OlOOQ was odlQ W
bear weight with Pele, goddess of
the volcano, so Princess Ruth at Hon.
olulu was appealed to. She answered
the call and, as she gazed toward the
mountain with her coterie of follow
ers behind her, she could see the
track of destruction extending up
ward, mile after mile, while at its
forefront, almost on the edge of the
city, trees were burning and great
columns of smoke were ascending.
A platform had been built in the
path of the flow and, as Princess
Ruth mounted its steps, sacrifices of
pigs and chickens were offered the
angry goddess of the volcano. The
princess, on her knees, appealed to
Pele to spare Hilo. And the flow
stopped.
Plainly visible against the foot of
this hill today is to be seen the face
of the lava flood, as it piled up and
hardened in 1881 when the Princess
Ruth came to the rescue of her people.

UNITED FARMERS ARE
STRONG POLITICAL FACTOR

Edmonton, Alta-(By Canadian
Press.)-Alberta apparently has fol-
lowed the example of Manitoba in
abandoning the two-party system of
politics. In the general election to be
held next Monday, July 18, the po-
litical campaign being waged by the
United Farmers of Alberta is fac
tor of much uncertainty and of great
Importance.
There are 48 rural constituencies
and it is expected that the farmers
will have candidates in most of them.
The Conservative party also is carry
ing on brisk fight, and in many con-
stituencies the government will be
faced with two opponents. The
United Farmers appear to be divided
from the Stuart government by no
broad issues, and it is said to be
probable that in some constituencies
they will unite with the government
on joint candidates.. At least five
women will be numbered among the
several scores of candidates.

flicting hardship on the American
breakfast table. A subsidy of a
quarter of cent a pound-not enough
to be noticed in the retail price of
coffee-would bring in rs million
dollars year to Porto Rican coffee
growers, and go far toward putting
the industry solidly on it's feet.

children, who have been abandoned

thousands Of such children in Porto
