GAZING ON THE VOLCANO
STORY TOLD BY MISS EMMA
L. WATERS
Mankato Young Lady Relates
Thrilling Experience On the
Hawaiian Islands

Mr.. and Mrs. E. v. Waters are in
receipt of letter from their daugh-
ter, Miss Emma L. Waters, who is
now teaching in government school
in the Hawaiian Islands. She writes
a very interesting letter describing
her trip during her spring vacation
to the active volcano, Kilauea. which
she describes as a mass OF fiery
fountains over half mile long.
The letter is as follows:
Tuesday, April 5, 1921, My Dear
est Mother: Well, ann at the vol
cano for a week, and it is surely a
terrible sight. 1t Is almost unbelieve-
able. Just imagine looking out of
your bed room window. like ! can
from the Volcano House, and see a
mass of fiery fountains a quarter OF
squirting fire into the air. Oh it is
terrible. The forest fires went
through in the west are nothing
compared to this. The volcano is
more active at present than it has
been for fifty years. shall never
forget it. 1t is worth thousands of
dollars to witness this grand and
awe inspiring sight. When the guide
first took me to the rim, almost
tainted and trembled for hours af-
forwards.
When I first came It was about
seventy feet down. About one o'clock
that night the hotel clerk awakened
all of the guests, as 1t had come up
that seventy feet and was flowing
over the rim. A large stream of lava
was flowing toward the hotel, and
also over the automobile road. was
almost hysterical. I shall never
forget it. To-day when we walked
over it had gone down again almost
thirty feet. You can not realize this
until you see it. I have taken a LOT
of pictures and will send you some
The whole thing is marvellous and
yet terrible. The geologist here
thinks that the earthquake we had at
Maui had something to do with this
sudden rise. stood over the rim
and scorched bunch of post cards
and some of my calling cards. The
heat is intense, and the boiling and
suffering of the hot lava is like the
roar of thunder. l thought that the
high waves breaking on the surf
made a terrible enough noise, but
that Is nothing compared to the
sound of the boiling lava. When
look down into the pit I just tremble
from head to foot, and my first look
at it was the worst scare of my life.
II have met hundreds of wonderful
people, here, focking from all parts
of the world to witness the usual
action of the volcano this year. Some
places walked could see crevices
with fire underneath boiling and
seething. One has to keep walking,
as the lava Is burning hot"

agement." Miss Margaret Morrow in
full Highland costume then danced
the Highland ding as lightly as any

of all. The reading given by Miss

GAVE $4,000 IN CORN
Amount Contributed BY Minnesota
Farmers For Famine Aid

ASSOCIATED Press Dispatch.l
st. Paul, Mimi, April 23.-Min-
nesota farmers who contributed
forty-four carloads of corn for the
relief of famine sufferers of Central
Europe, Poland and the Near East,
gave more grain in proportion to
the production of corn in the state
than any other state in the union,
officials of the Minnesota Farm Bur
eau Federation have been advised.
Final reports of the corn relief
movement from national headquart-
ers of the American Farm Bureau
Federation at Chicago announced
that Minnesota ranked third in the
list of states furnishing this grain,
and in proportion to the amount OF
corn raised in this state it led all
other contributors. The corn con-
tributed by Minnesota farmers is
valued at $4,000 in United States
but of far greater value
when it reaches the famine districts.
