"Dry farming means the conservation of. moisture and the rotation of crops, ft is profitable In semlarld regions, and vhen the first cost of the land Is con sidered, Is Just as lucrative as any other , Jilnd of farming. As a theory It is in 1 direct opposition to Irrigation. It is for the bench lands and table land where Irrigation can not be used. It can be used with great success in Arizona and flew Mexico where the farmer gets ,a rrop once In two years. It is a broad principle, for it considers the raising of Stock in connection with the farm, and etches dairying and stock raising. - "Agriculturists from over all the vorld have come to the United Btates to study our dry farming yatem, and many countries have turned by Its aid, iand that for centuries has been Idle, nto fertile fields. : Honolulu the beautiful 'some of the Interesting Spots la and -About the Hawaiian Capital. f ' Honolulu, the capital city of the Hawaiian Islands, Is located on the 3sland of Oahn-' As a consequence It Is i oftlmes the only city seen cy many or the Transpaclflo travelers.

Washington, Oct. 13. In tha opinion of Erlgadler General Arthur Murray, chief of coast artillery, U. S. A., there should be an increase of coast artillery.

"It Is established beyond a doubt," says General Murray in the report, "that In order to Insure efficient handling of our coast defenses in time of war It is necessary that we nalntaln in time of peace at least .one. full manning, detail of coast artillery troops. In time of war We must hava at each place llabio to attack such a number of .coast artlV iery troops that, they will be sufficient not; only to form a full manning detail, but to maintain a full manning detat. allowing for absentees, sick and wound ed." . r: -w Uloch Wins Damage Suit. , Judge G U.
