Hawaiian Islands, Schoefield Barracks, January 21, 1922 Dear Editor: Seeing as I have a few spare moments on hand and noth ing to do, I thought I would write a few lines to my home town paper, and the people of Pickens county- As you see from the heading of this let ter that I am a long ways from there now. This is my second trip to the Hula.iHula land or land of *grass skirts. But the only trouble is that the grass skirts are hanging in the curio shops for sale. But I will have to admit that there are some pretty places on these islands. There is the active volcano on the Island of Hawaii, which is about two hundred and fifty miles from the island on which we are stationed. I took a trip there about two months ago and sure saw sonic pretty sights. The time I was there the lava was about fifteen hundred feet from the top of the crater. The volcano of Kilauca is the most ac tive in the world. The area of the volcano is seven hundred and eighty five miles, and it covers two thou sand and six hundred and fifty acres. It sure is a big piece of land to be on fire all the time. There are also sulphur bays which are formed from. the vapor of this crater. There is also a big place and hotel set aside for the tourist? who t-omne to this place to spend the winter months. It is known as the volcano house and is about a mile from the main part of the crater. Well, we will come back to the Island of Oahu on which we are stationed. The main city is Honolulu, and it is also the biggest city of the Hawaiian group. Its population is seventy-five thousand, and' it is one city where you will find people of all the nations in the world. Of course I will admit that the Japs and Chinks are the most represented. The real estate men hyd better not try to conic to these Islands as most of the houses are niade of grass and mud and wouldn't sell for more than a hundred dollars. So I guess that they would soon go broke and would have to go into the bootlegging busi ness, as many are doing over here at the present time. Also a warning to the moonshiners -that they are better off in the states as there is no wood here to firo the stills. All- the moon shiners know over here is to miakc Okolehao and the stuff is strong to run one these army tractors. As to rainy weather, we sure havc get it over here. You have to carry a raincoat at all times, even when it is a clear day as the sky can be cleat and all of a sudden it will start tc rain, and let mec tell you that it nevei has rained where I lived as it dloes over here. It just rains pitchforks wvith the handles coming dowvn first I will close as I have a (late wvitl1 an egg andl don't want to break it So bidding the editor and~ readers farewcll, I remain, Pvt.

CL1YCONE T SOUTHERN D CITY OF STANDARD 4If you wish to know something vice, ask any of our owners. All Be Sure Cyclone Star Greel -UNPROFITABLE PRODUCTIO -The editor of the Dillon Herald strikes a keynote as to the reason for unprofitable production of cotton, as. follows: "Men are gathered in convention at New Orleans to find out why the pro-' duction of cotton is unprofitable. Every delegate to that convention knows in advance why the production of cotton is unprofitable, but it does good for them to get together and -talk it over. Cotton production is unprofitable because cotton is made with free labor. .The man who runs the farm works for nothing and makes his wife and children work for nothing. If it is a family-owned or family-rented farm there is no pay roll to meet every Saturday night. If Standard Oil or the U. S. Steel Corporation was operated on the same principle they woul, beve gone into the hands of receivers long ago. If a man owns or rents a far n he ought to get a salary for opcratir.g it. If his wife and chilirer are re quired to work on the farm they hould be pai( the same wages they could earn in some other kind of employment. Every (lay of free labor the owner or renter of the farm and his wife and their children give to the farm is a contribution to the World. Every year since the close of the Civil War the South has contribu -td millions of dolla s to the world through the free labor of its women and children. Taken in the aggregate it has been a tremendous (train on the resources of the south, and if the south had not been blessed with mar velous natural resources it would have gone into bankruptcy many years ago. That is why the production of cotton is unprofitable." When the Southern farmer gets it under his skull-cap that he and his family are just as entitled to a living wnge for the labor they use in produc ing their crop as the laborer in any other industry is entitled to such wage and then by organization puts himself in position to demand that wage better times will be just around the corner for him and his family, and cotton produc.tion will cease to be unprofitable. BOLL WEEVIL SERMON On the second Sunday in April, at 11 o'clock a. i., the Lord willing, I will try to give the people of Cross Roads church a Bible recipe to pre vent the boll weevil or- to destroy the boll weevil.
