HAWAII SAFELY THRU CRISIS
Conservative Business Policies Checked

Disaster, Says Governor.
Washington, Dec. S.-During the
past. fiscal year ended June 80, the
territory of Hawaii successfully
weathered one of the most critical in
dustrial and financial periods in it's
history, Gov. W. r. Harrington de-
clared today in his annual report.
Conservative policies that have al
ways controlled the business of the
territory were declared by the gov
ernor to have been the barrier that
checked an era of widespread dis
aster. General business conditions
have improved as the result of a more
normal world price for raw sugar. the
product from which Hawaii derives
it's prosperity. He added, however,
that agricultural conditions are still
serious and command unceaSing at
tention. Shortage of field labor has
caused considerable abandonment Of
cultivated land, and legislation that
will provide 1aborers, at the same time
bringing the racial population of the
territory more nearly into balance,
was recommended as a prime neces-
sity.
Raw sugar and pineapp1es con-
tinued thru the year to hold the first
place in the food crops of Hawaii.
The yield of sugar for the calendar
year OF 1922 was estimated at 546,S ,S44
tons, and that of pineapples at 5.000.-
600 cases.

1ne pent-up waters sweep away all the
accumulated rubbish in the old, un-
used channels, so was the squatter
girls heart cleansed of every unlovely
emotion. To her uplifted vision "The
Greatest Mother in the World" smiled
again in benediction; and beyond her,
dim in the background, appeared a
wrinkled. toothless smile, and Polly
heard Granny Hopes withered lips
saying:
Loves the hull thing. Jrat. Just
love, an love, an keep on lovin'."
Full of the tenderest compassion,
Pollyop turned swiftly, and at the
sight of her flashing, radiant face,
Evelyn tainted, toppled forward and
rolled almost under the bed
The squatter girl bounded to her
side, her frantic fingers tearing loose
the ropes that Larry and Lye Braeger
had made secure around Evelyn's body.
They fell away, leaving the girl but a
little heap on the floor.
Tears streamed over her dark lashes
as Pollyop gathered the limp head OF
Evelyn Mackenzie into her arms. And
then she prayed as Granny Hope had
taught her to pray. "Our Father
which art in heaven" The rest of the
petition slipped from her mind, and
she quoted with chattering teeth, 1.-THE
Lord is my shepherd, shall not
want"
Her strong arms lifted Evelyn and
as she rolled over on the cot, Polly
Hopkins stood up and cried:
Underneath Old Mares woman are
your everlasting arms, God dear!"

McMANUS GOING ABROAD
Creator of bringing Up Father VIII
Make Home in Ireland.
(To be Continued.)


To the roster of we'll known Amer
leans who maintain country estates
in Ireland there is to be added shortly
the name of George McManus, the
cc rtoonist and creator of bringing
Up Father" who slipped quietly away
from this country on one OF the steam
ships sailing last Saturday, and who
by the time he rctu: MS in late July
will be the landed proprietor of
broad Irish demesne.
AS far back as 1913, while visiting
a lifelong friend who inherited Clon-
ally House, at Ballygawley in Tyrone,
frCm a great uncle, McManus became
inoculated with the desire to own an
Irish home some day and for part of
every year enjoy there the charm OF
Irish country life and saturate him
self with the beauty of Irish scenery.
The following year. whiic the plan is
still urgent in his mind the war came.
Until. This year the war, and the
changes which followed it, and his
own work have compelled him to defer
the putting into effect Of his intcn-
tiOn.
But let Il man in Ireland once an

century will suffice TO blur the cf-
feet of his announcement upon those

the nearly ten years which have pass
cd since McManus declared himself in
love with Irish life his friends in the
grecn isle have watched carefully for
opportunities which they thought
would attract him and have kept him
Informed of what was offering in the
market and why.
The recent situation in ireland has
one ancient country family, and now
the man looking for Irish acreage has
variety of choice and location which
has not been afforded since 1878. AT
least six estates which McManus has
news of, have everything calculated
to appeal 10 Il now owner in whom

YEAR WITHOUT A SUMMER
Snow Fell Every Month During tn
Year 1916.


Year 1916.
In 1916 there was no summer in the
United States.
Snow fell every month of the year.
Since that time 1916 has been gen.
orally called poverty year" because
practically all crops were total fall
urcs Others have called it eighteen
hundred and froze to death Still
others have referred to it as "mackcrel
year" because so little pork was avail
able that the people lived on fish.
The Weather Bureau writes us that
snow fell on the seventh of June suf-
ficient to cover the ground at Newton
Mass, and at Hopkinton, n. H., 1t was
four inches deep.
At Salem, Mass, on Saturday June
g.. there was a slight fall Of snow,
but It was not deep enough to make
good sleighing.
Along the northern portion of Mas
sachusetts, large icicles were pendant
and the foliage Of the forest trees
was blasted by the frosts.
In Williamstown, Mass, the snow
was twelve inches deep on June 8, and
in Cabot, eighteen inches.

T'm Afraid Of Everybody" Gasped
Evelyn.

Please, take me with you, or-or-
let me stay till morning"
A slight shake of Pollyop's head
brought Evelyn to sitting position,
but pain-racked bones and nerves laid
her back again.
"There," interjected the other girl.
'You can see how hard it'd be to get
you through the snow to your mas
house. You'd die before you got there.
I'm blest if you wouldn't. No, got to

Noting the fear in Mrs. Mackenzie's
eyes, she bent over the cot.
"Will you believe something I'm go
In to tell you, Eve:' she said in
wheedling tone.
"Surely / will, Polly" answered
Evelyn, wiping her eyes, "but I'm so
afraid, so awfully afraid"

petuously, IAN as l said you got a
right to be scared Of the squatters.

April 12--we did not get up this
morning until about y, as we were
tired and had nothing else to do but
sleep. After having bit to cat and
getting the camp in order we were
puzzled as to what to do as this was
the place we were headed for until the
wheat harvest opened and we had no
lob to keep us up until that time. We
Just went up town to look around and
see what the chances were and we
soon found that chances of employ
mcnt were slim. There are more peo-
pie out of work in Dallas than there
are jobs. Money was running low and
all of us had sworn we were not go
ing to wire home for help. An army
recruiting officer offered to take us in
the army for three years but we told
him we did not care for that; but If
we could not get anything else we
would join.

CHAPTER XVI
'Cnn yon spenk to me?'

"Can You speak to me?"
Polyop's voice was as tender as
when she had repeated heavenly prom
ises to the sad ones of the Silent City
and had taught them that love was
ever present.
Evelyn gazed at her electrified. The
brown eyes were softly luminous. The
lips which only little while ago were
strained and blue now were scarlet
and fraught with sympathy. What
wonderful thing had happened? Pol
lyop had taken the rope off her Feet
and hands. She could wriggle little,
although her flesh hurt dreadfully
when she tried 1t.
Prompted by the attempted move
mcnt, Pollyop dropped to her knees
and began to chafe the injured an
kles.
"Tm goin' to give you back to your
man." she said, Quaking. "But you
got to swear to him I swiped you, an
not any squatter men. He'll jail me
forever, mebbe, but don't care about
that. / love Larry an Lye Braeger
too much to haul 'em into this"
Then her face fell beside Mrs. Mac
Kenzies, and she wept Historically.
Evelyn's fingers clutched at the chest
nut curlS.
"Pollyop. oh. Polly, darling!"
I'll,
too. was weeping even more wildly
thah t. other. In the presence Of
such divine unsellishness. the petals
of her withered soul seemed to lift and
open, as she gropcd for broader
understanding.
Granny Hope learned me a lot Of
things" came up to Evelyn brokenly.
"She always said, Granny Hope did,
that love was Strorger'n hate an, l
must just pray your man wouldn't be
so wicked TO us sqIuttcrs."
The clustering brown head rolled
back and forth in consuming agony.
Don't, Polly darling" Evelyn
begged. Don't, it's all right now.
And my husband will"
Polly sat up, brushing back damp
ringlets from her brow.
"He won't do nOthin' 20 help me-
she shot out. "NOthin at all! First,
l know him better'n you do. Then
next. I wouldn't ask him. Cause
cause I'm that bad, l ought to he
without my Daddy Hopkins an MY
Jerry baby" Her voice rose IN wild
appeal. But, God dear, how much l
;rant EN-. Oh, how l. want 'eml"
The words cut into Evelyn's heart
with the kecnneSS of physical pain.
Only a little while before she had stood
alone at the brink of the grave. There
had been no hope that the summer
would bring a helpless wee thing to
hold her close to Marcus. But now
Her thoughts whirled. SO great was
her faith in Polly Hopkins that she
knew in little while she would be
back in her husbands arms.

arose and beat again into pap the

she took all the sugar left in the cup

Like hive of bees, the joy of dis

sound came from the girl on the floor,
for Evelyn Mackenzie had given up
all hope. The squatter girl crazy.
No human being could entertain such
a ghastly purpose aid be in his right
mind!
Presently she called POly's name

Daddy's dust-covered coat which had
hidden the picture all the past weeks
lay ut her feet. s
As she looked, the glare left Polly's
eyes. The serious face that had once
smiled at her, the smile that had been
a benediction for herself and Daddy
Hopkins, was there no longer. Rather
was there an expression Of. sorrow.
Death rested in the nurses arms, but
from her whole reverent attitude the
sense of protection swept out at Polly
Hopkins.
Then suddenly she heard mans
voice. 1t seemed to drift into the hut
through every creyice and crack.
"And you're the Littlest Mother in
the World" came plainly to her.
