COCOANUT PALMS FOR
 SAND ISLAND, HAWAII

HONOLULU, April 14.-Sand Is- land, the barren sandbar which forms the outer edge of Honolulu's harbor, will some day in the not too distant future wave an aloha of breeze stirred palms to the thousands of passengers aboard liners arriving at and departing from Hawaii. The planting of a triple row of cocoa nut palms, the first step toward the Identification of Honolulu's harbor was started recently under the di- rection of Gerrit P. Wilder. Al present Sand Island is only barren stretch of land, with background of marshes and mudflats. The palms are expected to give a tropical toucf to the harbor entrance.

MOVIES

In "The Face Between,' which comes to the Empress Theater to- night Bert Lytell, the Metro star, has a part which adds to the laurels he has already won in such pictures as "The Right of Way" "The Right That Failed" and "The Idle Rich" "
 A sons sacrifice for his father who has become involved in an affair which threatens his reputation is the theme of this absorbing story The son accepts responsibility for his fathers wrongdoings and goes into exile, giving up the girl to whom he is engaged and everything else which makes life attractive to this rich young society man. During his ban ishment he become involved in nu- merous difficulties with the noun tain people in the vicinity, and the resulting consequences make this picture one of continual suspense, full of dramatic thrills and interest from first reel to last.
 "A Poor Relation," the latest Gold wyn feature comedy, starring Will Rogers, will be presented at the Empress Theater Sunday. The pie ture is the film version of the stage play of the same name that has been successfully performed for the past thirty-one years. It brought fame to it's author, Edwards B. Kid der, as we'll as to the late Sol Smith Russel, who created the title role and acted it for many years.
 Will Rogers is an ideal "poor re- lation." As quaint and shabby philosopher who fathers and mothers } two orphans, though he himself has nothing, the cowboy star will bring laguhter and tears to all who see him. The part of Noah Vale might have been born with him.
 The story is simple; and virtue triumphs over scheming villainy, but only after many trials that are both amusing and pathetic.
 Every resource of the producer has been utilized to make "A Poor Re- lation" MT. Rogers Goldwyn master piece.

SECOND GRADE
The Secret

Pussy willow had a secret
 That the snowdrop whispered her, And she told it to the south wind As it stroked her velvet fur; And the south wind hummed it softly To the busy honey bees,
 And they buzzed it to the blossoms On the scarlet maple trees; And these dropped it to the wood brook
 Brimming full of melting snow, And the brook told Robin Redbreast As he chattered to and fro; Little Robin could not keep it, So he sang it loud and clear To the sleeping fields and meadows: Wake up! Cheer up! Spring is
 here!"
 This is one of the songs we have been learning this week.
 On Thursday we drew some pussy willow twigs on narrow pieces of draw ing paper. Some of the best ones are to be mounted.
 There was much rejoicing Friday when we received our Palmer writing lists from Outside, showing that each second grader had earned his silver star button on drills sent in few weeks ago. Our gold-star drills are ready to be sent out on the next boat
 This week we had Thompson arith metic test little more difficult than the last one. In this work speed is important as we'll as accuracy; and averages of the work of hundreds of second graders in the States show that the hundred examples can be done in six minutes with ease. So child who uses nine or ten minutes for the work and has all the answers correct has net done so we'll as one who uses five or six minutes and has only ninety seven or ninety-eight examples right This particular kind Of test is given tc see which children know their addi tion combinations so that they can give the answers instantly. A child who uses too much time on them prob ably doesn't know them well and may be stopping to count up" on his fin gers.
 In this weeks test the lowest grade made by any pupils is twenty-six points higher than the lowest grade in our last test.
 Some of the highest grades are as follows:

Il BEDTIME STORY

over there silently. She knew that
Hooty's eyes were very good even III
daylight but that he sleeps much of
the time then. She felt surer that if
she didn't go too near he wouldn't
bother her.
The moment she reached the top
of that tall tree she leaned forwar :
and eagerly looked into the tree
where her old nest was. At first she
couldn't see that nest clearly. That
is, she could see the nest, but he
couldn't see into it. She changed her
position and once more looked. This
time she saw. She saw the back and
head Of Mrs. Hooty. Blacky had
been right. There was. no doubt
about it, Blaclky had been right. She
could tell by the way in witch Mrs.
Hooty was sitting in that nest that
there were eggs under her. There
were still snow and ice all through
the Green Forest, but there was no
doubt that Mrs. Hooty had already
laid her eggs.
Mrs. Blacky>wasted no thought on
the wonder Of eggs being laid be-
fore winter had ended. She could
think of nothing but the fact that
that was her old nest and these big
robbers had taken possession of it.
She ionged to fly over there and
peck all the feathers out Of Mrs.
Hooty's head. But she knew better
than to try it. Remembering what
Blackv had said about Hooty. she
looked for him. Sure enough, there
he was, sitting bolt upright in a tree
near the nest. His eyes were closed.
but she knew that they would fly
wide open at the least little sound.
So she wisely kept still and simply
glared.
Its true" she kept saying over
and over to herself. Its true. I
didn't believe it, but it's true. Now
the question is, what are Blacky and
/ going to do about it?'

Alas, no matter what you do

The truth, you'll find, is always true.
-Blacky the Crow.
When Blacky. the Crow told Mrs.
Blacky that Hooty the Owl and Mrs.
! Hooty had taken possession of their
last years nest, Mrs. Blacky became
so angry that she fairly hoped up
and down. Somehow she couldn't
believe it. No, sir, she couldn't be-
lieve it. The year before Hooty and
Mrs. Hooty had take the old nest
Of Redtail the Hawk. 1t hadn't en-
tered Mrs Blacky's head that they
might take her old nest. It was
hard to believe now that they really
had done this thing.
''I don't believe it. I don't believe
it," she kept saying over and over.
But 1 tell you it is so,' declared
Blacky. II was right in the top of
that tree, and Mrs. Hooty was in
that nest. Hooty was only a little
way off, [ didn't see him at first,
and the wonder is that he didn't
catch me before l could get away
from there"
But still Mrs. Blacky couldn't be

THE COUNTRY HOME
BY MRS. w. H. FELTON,

1921. Labor is much scarCer. In some
sections the exodus OF farm labor is
alarming. Farmers are not able TO
pay the wages that manufacturers
are willing to pay and the farm suf-
fers heavily in productivity, from all
sides and at every angle.
There are just one of two things
bound to happen. Lands must lie
idle-or landlords must take the risk
of losing all the money they advance
to the cultivation of the soil.
A few may be able to secure Ia
Dor and not go broke" but the
majority of land owners can not as
sumo the risk of standing for guano,
for mule feed and family supplies
and combat boil weevil, even though
cotton is bringing 81 cents at this
writing, because there may be very
small crop.
The people of Georgia cannot bear
the accumulated tax of $19, 100000
and retain their real estate, which
bears the burden of taxation.
The liabilities of the state of Geor-
gia, which cannot be changed and
must be paid, in interest.

With the pension claims of S5,000,-

of the state was only 100000.

is there no chance to altar this par

pie, and for which your home and
mine can be sold under the sher-
ifs hammer, to get it. and we know
there were thousands and thousands
of such homes sold last year, 1922,
and the people unable to redeem
! them?
Unless the people of Georgia rise
up and demand a decrease in certain
particular cases there will be no
chance for poor family in this
broad land to own a decent home
and steer clear Of the tax gatherers!
What are we to do to relieve our.
selves of these political sap-suckers
who are thus impoverishing our
country?
