MICHIGAN NEAR
COMPLETION
Camden, N .!.. Feb. 20. At the
yards of the New York Shipbuild-
ing com piny work is being rushed on
the battleship Michigan, and It is ex-
pected that the vessel will be deliv-
ered to the government six months
earlier than the contract requires.
If the expectation is fulfilled the
ship will be ready for her trial trip
early in June.
The Mich'gan will rank foremost
among the great fighting machines
flying the United States flag. She is
America's first " lll-big-gun" battle-
ship and <*omes closer to the Dread-
naught class of warships in the Eng-
lish navy than any other big fighting
vessel in the American navy. Her
battery will consist of eight 12-inch
•breech-loading rifles.
The hull of the Michigan is of
Although a very
heavy vessel, the contract
calls for a sustained speed of IS 1-2
knots an hour for four consecutive
hours. Hesides the eight 12-inch
guns, she will carry two submerged
torpedo tu1>es, and the secondary
battery will consist of twenty-two :i-
inch rapid-fire guns; two 5-pounder
semi-au'tomiatic guns; ielght 1-uich
semi-automatic guns; two 3-inch
field pieces, and four machine guns.
The 12-inch guns will be mounted in
pairs, in four turrets on- the center
line, two forward end two aft.
The hull is protected on the water-
line by a complete belt of armor
soon -come to be recognized as
moat delightfully located of any oc-j
cupled by rraited States troops, if
not In the world.
These are pretty broad statements, j
but can be made with a good margin
of safety, and will scarcely be dis-
puted -t y any one who has seen the
new location. Lying near ithe cen-
ter of a plain which forms the cen-
tral portion of the Island of Oohu,
and flanked on the north-east and
south-west by rugged and verdure-
clad mountains, the camp has-an ele-
vation of between one and two thous-
and feet above the Pacific. The
ocean spreads out ten or twelve
miles to the southward, in a great
wall-like expanse of the deepest of
blues, till it merges into the hori-
zon.
At the time of the annexation of
the Islands to the United States, a
tract of about 14.000 acres was re-
served for military purposes in a
strip six or seven miles 'long extend-
ing across the plain from mountain
to mountain. At that time the en-
tire plain was considered of small
value, not being adapted to sugar
oane, and was only utilized as range
for a few cattle. At the present
time, however, the largest pineapple
district in the Territory is located
there, a portion of the reservation
itself being under cultivation through
an old lease. The men of the Fifth
.Cavalry are surrounded by hun-
dreds of acres of the delicious fruit
CONFERENCE OF
PROTESTANT LAITY
Pittsburg, Pa., Feb. 2< . Dele-
gates representing laymen's organi-
zations of the Protestant churches
throughout the United States and
Canada, with a membership totaling
over one million, began a conference
in this ciity today to discuss plans for
a closer co-ope rat on in their work.
The conference is regarded as the
•most important ever held by the Pro-
testant laity in America.
The organizations represented by
their executive officers and other del-
egates include the Kpiscopal brother-
hood of St Andrew. League of Uni-j
versa list 'Laymen. Interdenomina- j
tioraal brotherhood of Andrew and
Phillip, Southern Presbyterian bro-
therhood, baptist brotherhood, Unit-
ed Presbyterian Men's League. Con-
gregational brotherhood. Methodist
brotherhood, Men's Movement of the
ITnited brethren Church, Canadian
Presbyterian brotherhood, Presbyf
terian brotherhood of America and '
the Men's Movement in the Christ-
ian church.
One of the most important mat-
ters before the conference Is a pro-
position to arrange for co-operation
which fact 'is especially to their Ilk-1 of the various men's organisations of
the different denominations In the
larger cities as well as nationally
ing.

The magazine and shell rooms will
be so arranged that about one-half

shared by the troops. The site chosen
for the camp has a very gentle slope,
giving a perfect drainage, while the
purest of water has been piped in
abundance from nearby mountains.
The parade ^and drill grounds laid
out are on a most imposing scale,
and could scarcely be improved upon
for either infantry or cavalry man-
euvers. while the quarters for men,
officers and horses are large and
roomy. At the present time most of
the quarters are of temporary char-
acter. but work has been begun on

to cost several millions of dollars
before the plans already made are
carried out.

Obituary.
Died, at the home of her parents
near Union City, Miss Margaret
Pappe, aged IS years. t months and
'i days.
The sad intelligence of the death
of Miss Pappe came as a shock to
her many friends and relatives, when
at 5:30 Saturday evening, February
20, news came over the wires that
death had claimed her bright and
beautiful life.
Miss Pappe was born August 17,
1890 in Nebraska. Her early life
was spent in Cass county, Nebraska,
a d from there sin* moved to Okla-
homa with her parents, where they
have resided near Union City, and
| where Margaret, was a favorite am-
ong her associates. Her sunny,
cheerful d sposiition won the admir-
ation of the young and the commen-
| dation of the old.
Her sickness and death was the
result of a severe attack of pneu-
monia. Margaret enjoyed the best
of health, until one week ago, and
her case was not thought to be seri-
ous until two days prior to her
death.
She leaves to mourn her loss a
| devoted father and mother, Hhree
brotners and two loving sisters, to
whom we extend our sympathy.

TO GROW SWEET
POTATO PLANTS
Prepare a hot bed by using fresh
manure from the horse barm*. Add
(about one-tdilrd to one-half straw
or bedding material and mix thor-
oughly Th. s mixture should 'be
packed in the bed to a depth of 12
to IS inches. A convenient width for
a hot bed is six feet; they can then
be made as long as desired. The
mixture should then be thoroughly
moistened bu t not made wet; too
mneill water will retard the heating
process caused by the fermentation
of the manure. Let this mixture
stand in the bed for three or four
days, by which 'time it will have
reached its h g'hest degree of heat.
At this time the bed should be care-
fully examined to see that there aie
no dry spots. The mixture ahou d
be kept well moistened. The framed
