THE GARDEN ISLAND, .TUESDAY, APRIL 11, 1922 GIRL RESERVE3 THE GARDEN Issued Every Tuesday ISLAND KENNETH 0. HOPPER Managing Editor TUESDAY APRIL 11, 1!)22 THE KOKEE ROAD The board of supervisors has had the Ko kee road re-surveyed and are now ready to go ahead and put in the road. They had an appropriation of thirty thousand dollars for the whole job. The surveying eost about three thousand dollars. That leaves about twenty seven thousand dollars lor the actual work of pulling in the road. If you have been over that strip of coun try lalely that is called the Kokee road yu will know that it is none too soon to get to work. You take your car and your life in your hands when' you start on that trip. It is one grand series of bumps from the start to the finish. Alter going over the road yon can not help but form one one conclusion. That is that the little old twenty-seven thousand dol lars will be only a beginner. It will not come anywhere near 'putting in a decent road up to Kokee. And it is useless to put in a tem porary road that will be worn out at the bottom before the top is finished. The logical thing to do is to start build ing that road at the government road and work inauka. Make a good road as far as the funds will permit. Then get more money and finish it. The money will have to be obtained from the legislature. It can't be procured anw oili er way. Hut a good road to Kokee would be a territorial asset and we are fully justified in asking for it. If we can't get it any other way, bond the county. The proposition will pay dividends in the end. WHEX DREAMS COME TRUE Every youth started out iu, t!u world with the hope and expectation that he will eventually climb the golden stairs of wealth, fame or fortune, or all of these. His youth fid dreams are optimistic, his hopes magni ficent. Little does he realize the rugged road he must travel to obtain his desires. Little does he realize the pitfalls that lie hidden in the path he must tread. Little does he know of the ambushes that conceal his enemies, the path that will lead him astray, the darkness and the storms he must encounter, or the savage beasts of discontent, temptation, jeal ousy and others of their kin that are watch ing every opportunity to destroy him or to lead him from the path that leads to the relaization of his youthful hopes and am bitious. Few, if any reach their goal; yet there are many who by their persistency and a dogged determination to win keep on, ever pressing onward and upward through the storms that beset them, the wild beasts that mcnuec them, and Ihe pitfalls that obstruct their path. These are the cautions ones. These are the wise ones who turn deaf to enchant ing allurements that turn the weak minds from their course and leave them broken and blasted by the wayside. Success is obtained not by luck, but by perseverance and hard work. There is no royal road to wealth, to fame or knowledge. York, hard and persistent work is the p'rice of admission to. the higher circles of men's ambition. It is a continual grind, re gardless of fatigue, that wins the strength for the realization of youthful ambition. Tew there are who have the rugged constitution to persevere to the end. Few there are who can resist the temptations that lure so many front the rugged path, or are wise enough and watchful enough to avoid the pitfalls that have been dug and s nicely concealed in the path they must tread. The fate of the millions that fail to reach the goal of their ambitions, is rarely heeded. The striving millions that come 'af ter them, believing in (heir own strength and power, rysh along blindly in their mad pur suit of a youthful ideal. Fatigue overtakes them, and they stop to rest. It is then the tempter appears, -lie may have strength of character to resist, pick up his burden and go along, and if he does, all well and good. He will succeed to the degree in which he is capable. Some people are always looking for sky rockets. They believe iu luck. They expect to turn a stone that will reveal wealth iu almost fabulous quantities. They expect that they will be placed in positions of power and responsibility, through some turning of the hand; but the chances are more than one hundred to one that they are doomed to disappointment. Far the greater number never find the pot or gold at the end of the rainbow, and learn later iu life that genius and luck are but synonyms'of pluck, and hard work, and that it is the steady grind day after day that makes the dreams of youth come true or even partially so. Constant application, persistency and dogged determination are the qualifications necessary for (lie winning of the race, and that gambling wiHi fate is a fool's pastime. OrrORTUXITY FOR HOMESTEADERS This week, F. (1. Krauss of the Univer sity of Hawaii, is on Kauai. He is n part of the university's agricultural extension course. He wants to help farmers generally, espe cially small farmers and homesteaders. About, a mouth ago the university sent Prof. L. A. Henkc over here, ne called on many of the small farmers and n few of the plantations. At one place where he talk ed at night he had three or four fanners as his audience, The others in that community had gone to a movie, a dog fight or some other form of amusement. Many of our small farmers need agricul tural help and advice badly. We have no county agent system as most of the mainland state have. And the university is trying to fill this need and give the farmers all the help it can. Prof. Krauss' schedule is printed in the news columns of this paper. Every farmer that can should plan to hear him. Ask him for advice. He has had the theorectical and practical training. He can be of help to many fanners if they will let him. RETURX1XO PROSPERITY That the tide of prosperity is coming is evidenced by an increase of over 8,000,000 in the month of December in the industrial situation on the mainland. Textile mills are nearly up to normal and they show a marked increase. All along the Atlantic coast condi tioi.s are improving and also in the north central west. The southwest and the Pacific coast has not felt the revival of business to any great extent, but it is improving. This shows that the country is awakening to bus iness, and that the improvements, which start ed in the east, is gaining in volume and slow ly rolling to the west, and will ere long in clude the whole United States in a tidal wave of prosperity. Such is the indication gathered from the report of the United States employment ser vice of the Department of Labor. The tide can reach us none too soon. We have all been waiting with greater or less degrees of patience, hoping and praying for a return to normal conditions and "the full dinner pail." The Hungarian government is seeking to entice its people now resident of the United Stales to return to their native land by of fering at nominal cost several thousand acres of government land. To a Hungarian who has lived very long iu America this proposition does not appeal with any great degree of pulling strength. The Americanized sees un der the flag of the United States far greater opportunities than his country can offer him la ml or no land, and few of them are accept ing the offer of their home government to leave what they have in America and go to Hungary to take a chance with its poverty and unsettled conditions. On the other hand there are many thousands in Hungary who would be glad of an opportunity to come to America; but, fortunately for us, the bars are up and only a limited number can come in. - If you are putting your trust iu fate you are advised to keep your eye upon the fellow who works. He, like you, has seen the flowers in the garden of imagination, but he has the sense to realize that they are not gathered or propagated without labor.
