Anoher good rain was cut short
last night, but we are all mighty
thankful for what we did get, and
maybe it will sprinkle again soon.

Campbell’s circus showed to a
good sized crowd Monday night.
They have a very good little show
and everyone here seemed to be
very well pleased with their
performance. Their trained dogs
and horses are very good and
their wild man in the side show
is indeed worth seeing. We did
n't get to attend the cabaret,
or 49 show, so we can’t say for
certian whether it was much
good or not, but it must have
been a dandy because it was still
going at 5 a m. Tuesday morn
ing we are informed.
When you see those black
clouds rolling up, don't you wish
you had some lightning and tor-
nado insu ranee to protect your-
self from loss on your livestock?
Better obey that impulse and
let D A. Drake & Sou write you
some insurance before a bolt of
lightning kills a bunch of horses
or cattle for you. ‘ 18 3t
Fort Shafter, Hawaii,
July 4, 1917.
Mr. Frank R. Drake,
Editor Clarion,
Dear Sir:
This glorious 4th of July finds
me out here in the Hawaiian
Islands, 2100 miles from San
Francisco, which is the nearest
land to us-
The transport left Frisco on
the morning of June 4th and ar-
rived at Honolulu the 18th. We
were disembarked and placed on
street cars and brought out here
to a quaranteen camp, where we
were kept for 21 days, on account
of measles and mumps.
The trip over from Frisco was
without stormy weather and so
we spent a great deal of our
time on deck. We saw a few
whales and sharks and a great
number of flying fisti. I mistook
them for birds, which they re-
semble when seen at a distance.
On arriving/at the dock the
natives came swimming around
the ship and if one threw a dime
or nickle in the water they would
dive and get it every time. Af
ter leaving the quarantine camp
I was placed in Co. L of the
Second Infantry, which is the
best trained company in the
islands.
Honolulu is a city with all the
equipments of a modern city o
the mainland. Practically the
only difference I can see is that
most of the people are Japanese,
there being about lour Japanese
to one other,
There are only 20,000 white
people in the islands and the
tuen in the service are numbered
with these.
The climate here is about the
same the whole year round. The
islands resemble a park, with
flowers and fruit growing every
where. I have seen banana, tig,
date, cocoanut aud palm trees,
besides great numbers that I
never saw nor heard of.
We drill from 8 till 11 in the
morning aud go on a hike once in
a while in the afternoon. On one
of these hikes we went through
a regular plantation and saw
them planting the cane.
I am,
Yours truly,
Guy May.
