ANEW industry which haa (frown from infancy to a ptate of ,stoilt maturity in the comparatively brief period of twenty-five years is the pineapple Industry in Hawaii. A quarter of a century ago. it amounted to nothing, but the Territoiy is now exporting $85,000,000 worth of canned pineapples annually, and expects to reach the $50,000,000 mark within a few years. The man icsponsible for this prophecy is James D. Dole, presi dent of the H/inrnUan Pineapple Company, the largest company engaged in this culture in the Islands. Dole backs his f"ith with deeds. Five yeara ago his company bought the praeticallv desert Island of T.anai in order to IneraaM its pineapple acreage, 'ffrjp -Tpjand contains 140 rrmnre ml!**, and ia located fiO mil as from Honolulu. Its firs* cron of pineapple*, harvested last year, amounted to approximately IS 000 tons, ami the enmnaev expects to hardest five times that tonnage i this year. Within ten years, ac- ' cording to Dole again, Lanai will ! furnish one-fourth of the whole pineapple output of Hawaii. Dole recently invited the entire membership of both the house and senate of the Hawaiian lcgis- j lature to visit this island and see what has been accomplished there. They found a huge harbor at Kaumalapau on its coast, with a three-hundred foot breakwater and a wharf a hundred feet longer. Approximately $4,500,000 has ^ mn spent on the island?for its purchase, the harbor, macadam roads, the building of a model | city, and the putting of 2300 acrea !*to pineapples. Four thousand additional acrea to its total of ?A.000 of good pineapple land have already been cleared. Dole is a Harvard man who went out to Hawaii, a year after he waa graduated, without any money. Hia company now pays 4% of all taxas pa'd into the territorial treasury, and Is the largest individual taxpaving institution in Hawaii, BEWARE CF V. S1V. >J POTTED LINE % * Cy W. ft.

It may br.ng great hardship, especially to the j v mistress of^he home. It may force great ! . ?

The Ion* o4 the family's accumulations may even result in physical breakdown on the part of the wife tJin ugh worry over the loss of savings which s.-.e heiped to accumulate at the sacrifice of home comforts, but was not consulted when it came to investing them. The making of .nvestments by men who are heads of larndies and inexperienced in finance should not be undertaken without consulting her. Hut even if both agree the venture should be talked over with the local banker or information about it obtained from the National Better Business Bureau in New York, which serves without cost and purely in the public interest, if this is done a lot of trouble and quite likely many regrets and heartaches will be avoided. ^ There is one point in the activities of the inexperienced Investor where h? should have above all a red light atop signal U> cause him to pauaa and Investigate and that Is just before he reaches the decision to , "sign on the dotted line." Hefore you part with your savings In the bank by . signing a contract placed before you 1 by sharp promoters, stop, examine and Investigate! It will y&y to read the contract several times, even read lng It aloud, all the while weighing every term. It will pay to be on guard against the deadly hue print usually Incorporated in most oontracts,?so small that it strains your eyes and causes you to ekim over it superficially Do not sign blindfolded. It will pay well to take plenty of time to study the that It would B--OQ erect a number jt downtown garages where busy j business men could park their cart As an Inducement for business men to take out memberships, charges to them for storage were to be nominal, much less than a like service could be obtained elsewhere A Board of contract by yourself where all Is quiet ' and you are free from the personal Influence of the persuasive promoter, for to sign without the calmest consideration may spell your Waterloo financially. Unless dealing with a responsible' firm or Individual, never sign on the dotted line. If In the least doubt, don't sign. Never sign on verbal assurances that you are fully protected. Terms stated orally but not Incorporated In a contract are not binding. Glowing promises, w.id exaggerations and gross misstatements of facts are el.lorn reduced to writing or made In the presence of your witnesses. Your failure to read and to understand a contract before signing Is not a legal excuse. When you sign a contract, you proclaim that you agree with its terms and will abide by and endeavor to carry them out. Don't sign Just because some highpressure salesman tells you that you are a wonder, or that you show good judgment, or that you have a lot of sense. Sign only when you arc fully convinced that your interests are fully protected. Prominent Men Used as Scenery number of slick promoters re cently organ.zed in a certa.n city an "automobile club'' with the assurance -vjiyjiHiMl '? tJW ~ Governors was organized with ' the names of prominent local citizens i among them two eminent judges. No sooner was the organization of the board complete than the promoters armed with the endorsement of these outstanding men. went forth to reap a gTeat harvest by selling member I ships. They got the members?bui L the building of the garages remalne< , an idle dream. When the members of the Board s Governors were later interviewed a* to how they came to consent to the use of thmr names they stated that tne> thought the additional storage facili ties were needed In the downtov/i. district and they signed up withou looking into the proposition carefully Imagine their chagrin when told tha a reading of the by-lawB of the or ganizatlon showed that the Board 01 Governors had no powers but had been used merely as scenery in ordei to sell memberships in a fake proposi tion! Because these prominent citizen, were careless with their names and ! failed to read and to investigate the enterprise, hundreds of business men i bought memberships only to lose theit money. Signing without reading I? about the most dangerous act o1 j liuancial carelessness that can b> ' committed. Do not sign on the dotted line while^ blindfolded. w R MOREKOt>6t THE FARMER'S BEST WAY OUT Dean Russell of Wisconsin College : of Agriculture says "Two things nave hit the farmer hard but the same things have hit busiuess.

Managua, Nicaragua, July 18.?A slant two wore of American marine*, supported by a few more than that number of marine-drained and led native constabulary, hold the bloody field of Ocotal, scene of the first de. come engagement in the country since ! '.rie occ upation. (''u- marine is dead, another seriou-i> injured and one member of the cor. Pabulary has been treated for " .en- hurts. Of the attacking force : 500 under the realcitrant liberal, (h-nera! Sandino, which tried during 17 hours Sunday to enter the, town of Ocotal, 3GU lie dead outside the town an.l 100 are wounded. Hordes of vultures already sweep over the hotlycontested field. & The battle might have terminated in different fashion had it not been for two scouting planes from Managua. Swinging across the* country on a routine "look-see", they passed over the lines after the fighting had progressed several hours, and brought word here. A squidron of five bombers were ordered out at oiice by Brig-den. Logan Feland. Driving full speed the 110 miles intervening, despite a tropical storm, they swung low across the attacking lines, raking riflemen and machine guns with a point blank fire. One bomb dropped into a group of skirmishers and killed 30. As successive charges detonated, General Sandino's followers threw away their arms and fled. lonight the general is believed to be fleeing to the fastness of the north east with a handful of men. Private Michael A. Obleski, of Kaulette, Pa., was killed and Private C. Sidney Garrison wounded. Garrison's chance for recovery, however, are said to be good. He was brought to Managua from Ocotal by airplane, together with a wounded member of the constabulary.
