Dear NJ. B. Friends:
will tell you at the outset that
this will be a variety" column.
From the quotations used, l hope
YOU may all find something to inter
est you, but before you read them, |
want to mention that our Jennie IS
poorly, and by her doctors orders
she is to take rest for awhile, and
medical treatment. We all most sim
cerely hope that this enforced vaca-
ton will be the means of a return to
good health again. Her address is
Myrtle avenue, Bar Harbor, and
words of remembrance and cheer, by
card or letter. will help pass some
of her time away.
From the Book of Good Cheer,
which never fails to give something
worth while for the column:
OUR KIND OF A MAN.
The kind of a man for you and me!
He faces the world unflinchingly,
And smiles as long as the wrong exists.
With a knuckled faith and force like
fists.
He lives the life he is preaching of,
And loves where most is the need of
love.
And feeling still, with a grief half glad,
That the bad are as good as the good
are bad.
He strikes straight out for the right
and he

The face of the country in general
is rather a level region; yet on the Pc
nobscot and toward the head-waters of

ministry, but missionaries sent among
them are affectionately received.

MAY BLAST "STILL."
 TOO BIG TO MOVE

DILLON, Mont, Feb. 1. - When a "moOnshinestilp is too large to be moved should it be dynamited?
 This is the question puz2ling Sher- if Dan Mooney, of Beaverhead County, following seizure of what is believed to be the largest illicit liquor still ever discovered in the West
 The huge still was located in the Blacktail country, near this city. The tank is constructed of heavy sheet copper riveted in a workmanlike man. ner. Seven thousand gallons of mash were in a state of fermentation, and about 25 tons of corn and other grain were nearby.
 It is estimated that it took four or five men at least month to ''sct up' the plant, which was carefully hidden in an out-of-the-way place.
 Sheriff Mooney will ask the courts to decide on the disposition of the still.

HONOLULU BEGINS
 HOME TRADE DRIVE

HONOLULU, Feb. 1. - Honolulu merchants regard the foreign" mail order business of the mainland as so serious menace to island prosperity that they have backed up their slo- gan of island money, island made, should remain in island trade" with reasons, pictorial and otherwise, de scriptive of the superiority of island goods and the advantage of home buying. These reasons are embodied in a catalogue, the first Honolulu Merchants Mail Order CatalOgue,' which in it's first week of issuance was sent to 5000 residents of out lying islands. The first edition is the initial step in a campaign of "constant reminding" which will be directed particularly toward the buy ing public in remote sections of the island territory to educate them to buy at home instead of sending to the mainland.

POLICE RENDER NEW
 KIND OF FIRST AID

SPOKANE, Feb. 1. - Members of the Spokane police department re- port that in times gone by they have been called to act as first aid in almost every sort of an emergency, but they were stumped when 8 citi- zen came to the station recently in quest of a button for his trousers, He also desired needle and thread.
 According to the police, the seeker after the dressmaking implements, was downtown with his wife and an other lady, all ready for dance, ex- cept that a trouser button was miss ing.
 Desk Sergeant Fred Pearson, a member of the national guard from his army housewife" produced a needle and thread, but button could not be found. The luckless visitor then remembered that he had key to a building near the city hall. From clothing he found there he cut a button, then returned to the police station for the needle and thread.

DETROIT, Feb. i. - When the sue cessor of Mayor John c. Lodge as sumes the job early in April he will find an unclaimed item of $3,000 in the general fund.

 Although attorneys say Lodge IS entitled to draw the salary of mayor while serving in that capacity he has refused to accept the salary checks.
 Lodge continues to draw a much smaller salary as councilman, presl- dent of the council and acting mayor.

JAP, WHO TURNED CHRISTIAN, CATHOLIC NOW A BUDDHIST,
 WAGE; WAR IN HONOLULU

HONOLULU, Feb 1.-Hawaii to- day is furnishing the background for one of the strangest religious con flicts in human history. Arrayed on oneside is Rev. Mortimer T. Kirby, native of England, a former Cath Olic, and now an ordained archbishop of the Buddhist faith. Christianity, he says, has failed in it's mission and it is his confirmed opinion that the world must and will turn to Buddhism if it is to realize a true regeneration. Opposing him is the Rev. Kaku Imai, a Japanese, once a priest of the Shingon sect of Buddhism in Japan, but now minister of the Baptist faith. Each is conducting an active campaign for converts among Ha- waii's polygot population and each attracting widespread interest
 Embraces Buddhism
 Rev. Kirby is convinced that Budd- hism, the dominant religion of Asia, can muster strength sufficient to un- do the work done in Hawaii by the early missionaries from New England
 'Tn spirit" he says, 'there are now more Buddhsts than Christians in Hawaii. That is to say, there are more persons seeking for the truth that there are persons satisfied to continue along old-fashioned lines of thought and expression"
 Rev. Imai, while he sounds warn ing that Christian forces must strengthen themselves for the con- flict with the new Buddhism, de- clares Dr. Kirby's statements are without foundation.
 Jap Is Christian
 q believe" he says, "that more of the younger Japanese in Hawaii are yearly accepting Christianity in preference to Buddhism. And I be- lieve that many of the older Japan csc are giving up Buddhism for Christianity because lately they have been brought to understand the true meaning of Christianity"
 Rev. Imai was converted to Chris tfanity following a severe illness which he suffered in 1901. At that time he had been a follower of the Buddhist faith for 23 years and was assigned to a temple in Kokkaido. He was taken to a hospital in Kobe and while there experienced a spiritual uneasiness which he was unable to overcome When he left the hos pital curiosity led him to Chris

1 tian church. He was greatly i'm pressed by the doctrines he heard there and devoted a year to an in- tensive study of this new faith Seven years later he was ordained a min ister in the Baptist church in Osaka. He came to Honolulu on a missionary tour last October and has since vis- ited all of the islands of the Ha- waiian group.
 Before returning to Japan Rev. Imai plans a visit to the Pacific Coast.
 BIames "Ienorance" Intense discomfort with existing conditions of Christian ignorance is the reason assigned by Rev. Kirby for his desertion of Catholicism and conversion to the Buddhist faith. Dr. Kirby first undertook an active study of Buddhism in 1913. At that time he was in Kyoto teaching English in a Buddhist university and in Budd- hist middle schools. In connection with his studies he went to Kama kura to delve further into the phil osophy of Buddhism. In June, 1915, at Kyoto, he was ordained a priest of the Buddhist sect. He remained in Japan for several years and then returned to Canada, where he had formerly lived, on account of illness. Later he went to California and a little more than a year ago came to Honolulu to become associated with the work of the HOngWanji Buddhist temple. In October of last year. as a reward for his active efforts here, he was elevated to the rank of archbishop, the only appoint ment of it's kind ever made in the islands.
 Buddhism Tolerant
 "The mission of Buddhi&m,' says Rev Kirby, "is not to convince by contrast that it is superior oyer any other religion or teaching. Budd- hism respects all religions and ac- cents the truths wherever found.
 "A Buddhist, in the true sense, is not a member of church, but a seeker for truth. The word Buddha means enlightened or 'awakened; ;' therefore, a Buddhist is a person who becomes aware and progresses on, losing all self until he or she is one with truth All people who seek for truth are Buddhists, and, when the It is all quite in line with American ideals"

CHICAGO PROBING
 LARSON" COMBINE

CHICAGO, Feb. 1. - Get the arson trust!'"
 That is the order issued by Chicago authorities as this city concentrates in an effort to wipe out of being the latest of it's criminal organizations an alleged ring of crooked fire insur- ance companies and policy holders be- lieved responsible for the increase in fires here at the alarming rate of more than 50 a month, during the last year. The best sleuths of the Police and Fire departments are now working on the alleged activities of the larson trust" and officials predict that in- dictments, arrests and sentencing to prison of it's members will come at no distant date.
 Seek Old Gang
 Similarity of circumstances sur rounding many of the fires of the last year with fires of incendiary origin traced to a gang few years ago has led to the conclusion that a majority of the fires were part of conspir- acy. Several convicted members of that organization are now serving prison terms. That it is possible that some of the men who were members, since released from prison, form the nucleus of the new alleged organiza- tion is believed not unlikely These men are now being sought.
 "There is no doubt in my mind that the arson trust cleaned up through indictments and convictions a few years ago, or one similar to it, is op- erating in Chicago" said John F. Full lertOn, Fire Commissioner. "The ring is composed of crooked adjusters, fire bugs and grating firemen who con- hive with crooked fire insurance com panies and crooked policy holders"
 Make Triple Probe
 One of the methods of investigation adopted by the authorities involves the triple investigation of fires of seeming incendiary origin. Each of the insurance companies involved, the State Fire Marshals Department and the Chicago Fire Department will make an individual investigation and report, each of which must be ap- proved by the local and national boards of underwriters, the marshal's office and the city Fire Department before the case shall be dismissed.
