KENNETH

Kenneth Cockett, next to youngest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Cockett
of Waikapu died of heart disease
some time during Saturday night his
body being found Sunday morning.
Funeral services were held from the
Cockett home and the church Sunday
afternoon at $50, Rev. L. Ben Kau-
meheiwa officiating. An autopsy held
Sunday morning showed, it is report
ed, an enlargement of the heart.
Strong and sturdy, though recently
he had suffered from the results of an
accident of a few months ago,
Cockett's death came as a shock to
his relatives and friends. Last year
he was the best pitcher on the Wacs
baseball team but this year he was
thrown from an automobile when the
STEERING gear locked and suffered a
fracture of the jaw and, other injuries
which kept him out of the game un-
til very recently. He was out and
about as usual Saturday and Saturday
evening, returning to Waikapu with
several friends.
Kenneth or "Tema" as he was gen
orally called, had many friends and
the sympathy of all goes out to his
father and mother, especially to Mrs.
Cockett in their bereavement. He was
unmarried and is survived by bro
theirs and sisters as well as his
parents.

COTTON CROP IN
POOR CONDITION
WEATHER BUREAU REPORT
SHOWS NOT ENOUGH RAIN
FELL DURING WEEK.

Conditions on the whole unfavorable
for the cotton crop are reported by
the weather bureau in its weather and
crop review weekly.
Cool cloudy and showery weather
prevailed in the more eastern sections
of the belt, but it was unusually warm
and continued dry in most western
states, the review said.
"A few light, scattered showers &C
Cured in Oklahoma, and cotton show
ed deterioration generally in that
state; it opened prematurely and there
was much shedding" the report con-
tinued.
Scattered showers occurred iii
Texas also, but they were mostly light
and were received at only about one
half of the reporting stations.
Light local showers gave some re
lief in Arkansas, principally in the
southern portion, and the crop made
fair progress where these were re-
ceived, but deterioration was report
ed in most sections of the state due
to hot, dry weather.
Progress was poor in Tennessee,
where the plants were not fruiting
well, although the general condition
was fairly good,
"Bolls were opening more rapidly
in Louisiana, but there were further
reports of shedding and weevil dam
age, while conditions during the week
were unsatisfactory in Mississippi and
Alabama.
The weather continued cool, damp
cloudy and unfavorable for cotton in
Georgia, and general deterioration
continued, with bolls shedding or rot
ting and serious weevil damage re-
ported; the plants had nearly ceased
blooming in that state.
PLANT growth and conditions con-
tinued very good in South Cardinal
the plants were blooming and fruit
ing fairly well, but there was some
shedding and boil rotting while wee
wills were doing great damage and TAX
ing the top-crop except in the Pied
mont; the weather was favorable for
their increased activity.
Heavy rains did some damage in
central and eastern North Carolina
and it was somewhat too cool for best
results the latter part of the week"

LIMIT is PLACED
ON TAX INCREASE
TWO-THIRDS VOTE REQUIR-
ED IN ANY COUNTY TO
MAKE HIGHER LEVY.

ATLANTA, Ga.-A county which
was levying a local school tax before
the adoption of the local school tax
amendment to the constitution, in 1920,
cannot increase the amount OF its levy
without the assent OF tWo-thirds OF the
people, according to a decision rem
dered yesterday by the state supreme
court
Supreme Court Decision.
Irwin county had local school tax
of five mills, by consent Of the people
under the old constitutional procedure.
1t went into effect in 1907. In 1921,
after the local school tax amendment
passed, the county commissioners at
the request of the county board Of ed
ucation increased the levy to seven
and one-half mills without an election.
Certain dissatisfied tax payers con-
tested the levy on the ground that a
county school tax authorized prior to
the 1920 amendment could not be in
creased without a vote OF the people.
The supreme court upheld their con-
tention in the decision rendered re-
Gently.

Chemical Weed Killers

base OF some OF the patent liquid
weed killers offered on the market. In
careful hands the solution may be
made up from the common arsenlte OF
soda. at much less expense. The
strength TO use varies with the resist
ance of the weeds. OF course.
The cheapest material available as
a weed killer is the ordinary copper
as" (iron sulphate). 1t has been used
with considerable success tor destroy
ing certain weeds, and may be used
where they are scattered among crop
plants Especially grains, as they are
somewhat resistant to its etfects.)
Ordinary fertilizer materials, as nj
trate of soda must be applied heav-
ilv or in strong solutions. Most OF
these poisons when applied in small
amounts have a stimulating effect on
plant growth and to get the destruct-
i've effects on weeds must be applied
heavily. While the arsenic compounds
do not have this stimulating effect,
they have bad effect on the SOIL since
plant growth is prevented on the
treated area for some time.
Weeds when young and tender are
more susceptible to poisons than old
er plants and advantage should be ia
ken of this in applying the poison.

Georgia Is Second in
Sweet Potato Production
Nearly Fourteen Million Bushels Are
Grown in One Year.

Georgia ranks second in the produc-
ton of sweet potatoes and second
among the states shipping the most
sugary varieties known as southern
sweet potatoes, but in total number
OF carlot shipments of all kinds OF
sweet potatoes it ranks sixth.
Production has increased from g.
035.000 bushels in 1000 to 13,764,0O0
bushels in 1920. There has been a
marked increase in production since
1917. During the 10000 season only
461 cars were shipped out of the state,
122 of which went to Il large mark
cts in the north and east. During the
1920-21 season sos cars were shipped
out OF the state, l22 going to II large
markets. Apparently. Georgia ship
pers have not found the demand for
southern sweet potatoes which they
expected to find in the large markets,
and are distributing their cars to the
smaller markets in the states north
and west of Georgia.

EXPLORERS WILL
VISIT UNKNOWN LAND
PALANDRY EXIST IN STRANGE
COUNTRY BEHIND NOUN
TAINS. SIX HUSBANDS.

Great Britain intends to make a
thorough study OF the little known
land OF Tibet, in the interior OF China,
where devil worship exists. A mission
composed OF some OF England's ablest
explorers, scientists, missionaries and
ethnologists soon will leave London
for the city Of Lhasa, which is buried
behind the worlds greatest rampant
Of mountains, the Himalayas, between
India and China.
The mission will make closer in
vestigation of the Tibetian people,
their customs, religion and language
than has yet been possible, together
with study OF rare books and manu-
scripts known to exist in the monastic
libraries. These are expected to prove
OF great value in telling OF the early
history OF a country which to the pres
ent day is largely yelled in mystery.
Lead Nomadic Life
The Tibetians live in mountain
strongholds, $4,000 feet above the lev
el of the sea, which is 500 feet higher
than Mount Whitney, the highest peak
in the United States. They always have
proved inhospitable to foreigners and
to the introduction of modern ideas.
Little is known of the origin OF the
people.
The last foreigner in Tibet was an
American medical missionary, DR.. A.
L. Shelton, who spent II years at
Batang, near the Chino Tibetian Dor
der. In its form of government Tibet
is one of the few remaining theocra-
cies in the world. The people lead a
nomadic life, and monogamy, polyga-
my and polyandry flourish. Under the
polyandrous system the eldest son of
family marries a woman and she
becomes the common wife of himself
and his brothers.
Isolation Paralyzes Progress.
DR.. Shelton found that the Tibetian
woman usually marries three or four
brothers, and in one case that came
under his observation a woman had
six brothers for husbands. Thousands
of years of isolation have paralyzed
the progress of the people. There is
no public instruction, and pagan forms
of worship prevail Offenders against
the law, which is derived largely from
the Kanjur, the Buddhist Bible, are
punished by having their hands and
feet cut off.
