Rural Credits Bill

Proposed For Hawaii

Modern Melriod Of Farm Loans Dis-

cussed Dy Haiku Faimors --' Marketing Division Endorsed

Tho possibility of obtaining waterfrom the plantation ditches was theBiibjeet of some d'scussion at a meet-ing of the Haiku Farmers' Associationheld last Saturday night. It wasdecided to take the matter up with theplantation heads.

Strong expressions of confidence inthe territorial marketing division weremade, but the system of handlingproduce and of making returns wascriticized. It was the sense of of themeeting that the Association shouldlend its strongest support in opposingany move towards abolishing the div-ision. (

The probability of a bill being in-troduced in . the coming legislatureestablishing a system of territorialfarm loans, following somewhat thenew national rural credits law, wasdiscussed at length. A draft of suchmeasure met with general approval.It provides for a revolving fund beingestablished by the legislature for thepurpose of $100,000, which amount isto be loaned on first mortgage secur-ity, and these mortgages in turn to besold to banking houses, thus providingfurther funds for further loans. Interest to be six percent. The law wouldbe administered by a board with powerto grant or refuse any loan. Loanswould run from five to forty years.The bill embodies provisions of a NewZealand law which is said to haveproved satisfactory after twenty years.The proposed measures is said to havopassed the approval of a number ofprominent legislators and ' businessmen of the Territory.

Cement Making To

Be Big Industry

Enterprise Of Kau. Agricultural Com

pany Promises To Make Large

Saving Developed By Maui Man

One of the exhibits at the MauiCounty Fair which was a surprise tono only visitors from the other Islands but to most Maul people as well,was that of the Portland cement manu-factured here on the Island by theMaui Agricultural Company. Thatthis product is of a superior quality,testing higher than required in UnitedStates government work, and that itpromises soon to replace in consider-able part imported cements, is causefor still greater surprise. Such, how-ever is the case. Moreover, at thepresent time a plant is being erectedon the beach at Paia which whencompleted will have a capacity of atleast one hundred barrels per day.Thisplant will be in operation probablyin April or May.

Primarily the product will be' usedto supercede the large amounts ofimported cement now used on theAlexander & Baldwin plantations onthis island, particularly in connectionwith the concrete lining of the manyjriiles of irrigation ditches and tunnels.The surplus is to be marketed, and itIs expected that it will be possible tosell it at from twenty five to fifty per-

cent lower price than other cements oflike grade.

The cement is made from beachsand lime and crushed lava rock. Theprocess has been worked out by J. P.Foster, chemist of the Maui Agricul-tura- l

Company, through a series of ex.Derimenta covering a period of severalyears. It was Mr. Foster, also, whofirst demonstrated the practicabilityof making lime from the coral sand ofthe sea beach, which product has beeniu use for clarifying purpose in theMaui mills for a number of years.

"MIXED" BATHING OPPOSED.BY JAPANESE CONSUL-GENERA- L

Japanese Cunsul-Oenera- l Morol senta letter to the Hawaiian Planters' As-

sociation before its recent meetingand called attention to the necessityof improvement of the laborers' "mix-

ed bath" and comfort stations in theplantations he visited to investigatethe condition of the laborers. Hebelieves that the planters will giveattention to his letter as he deems thematters necessary from a moralstandpoint.

$20-Pin- es Likely

For Next Season

Good Demand For Product At Pr-esentHaiku District Recovering

Fro:n Bad Year Good Winter Crop

There Is every prospect that thepineapple growers of Hawaii will re-ceive $20 or better per ton for theirfirst class fruit next year. ManagerTaveres of the Maui Flneapple Com-pany stated yesterday that based onthe present selling price of cannedpines on the coast the proportion tothe grower would be about $19.50 perton. As the prices for the farmer,however, are fixed in May each yearon the basis of the Belling price atthat time, the present price of $16.10per ton will continue until that time.

The Maui crop of pines promises tobe better for next season than for sev-eral years, as the new plantings madesince the destructive season of 1914will be then coming Into bearing.

In the Haiku district the winter cropof pines which is now going to thecanneries is unusually heavy for thisseason. The quality of fruit is alsovery good. The canneries have hadsome trouble in getting sugarrecently, owing to shortage in supplyof refined in the islands, but by buyingin odd lots in various places havemanaged to keep running.

County Payroll Is

Again Readjusted

Ten Percent Increase Is Differently

Apportioned Low Wage Men Get

Most High Salaries Get None.

Because the supervisors believedthat the straight ten percent advancein wages and salaries of all countyemployes, which was granted severalmonths ago, was not equitable, theboard at its meeting lat Fsriday madea readjustment of the schedule. Thenew rates which are now in effect donot swell the payroll budget. Insteadit reduces the pay of the higher salaried employes and Increases that ofthe lower paid laborers.

The biggest increase la to the com-mon laborers who formerly received$1.50 per (Jay. These, under the tenpercent raise received $1.65, but underthe latest plan will now get $1.75. Inlike manner $1.75 men, who were rais-ed to $1.92I, will now receive $2.00.Two-dolla- r men, formerly raised to$2.20, are now getting $2.25;. while$2.50, raised to $2.75, still continue toreceive that amount.

Employes on salary receiving the oldbasis of $100 or less per month contin-ue to draw their ten percent increase.But those who ireceived between $100and $150, now get only a five percentraise, while from $150 up calls for noraise at all.

Kona Storm Brings

Heavy Rains To Maui

The several days of Kona weatherthe later part of last week culminatedon Saturday and Sunday in an unusu-allyheav- y

downpour of rain in mostparts of Maui. Iao stream was highand In recollection of last January'sflood horror when thirteen lives werelost, there was some uneasiness in theValley. The water, however, began tosubside before it was out of banks ex-

cept in a few points.At Keanae a rainfall of 5.85 inches

fell within twenty-fou- r hours; whileLahaina and the leeward side of westMaui got a good drenching. The rainwas timely and the plantations bene-fited much.

Water Rates ReducedIn Wailuku And Lahaina

Because of economies effected dur-ing the past year, combined with in-

creased number of consumers, and amore careful collections, ihe super-visors have ordered a reduction ofwater rates for both the Lahaina andthe Wailuku systems from six centsper thousand gallons to four cents.This reduction applies only to consum-ers using water by meter. The Wai-luku waterworks alone is reported toshow gains In collections of thirty percent at no additional cost.

EOY BADLY BITTEN BYVICIOUS DOG

Tsune Kono, a Japanese deliveryboy employed by the Pioneer Store,Wailuku, was painfully injured whilepassing through a lane off Vineyardstreet, last Friday, by being attackedby a vicious dog. The boy was deliv-ering a package at the time, and thedog approached him from behind in-

flicting an ugly gash In his right leg.The ownership of the dog is in dispute.It has not been killed. The boy swound was dressed by Dr. Osmer.

Parodies Good For

Islands Says Aiken

Maui Promotionist Back From Four

Month Trip Saw World Series And

Attended A Big Luncheon

After four months on the mainland,W. O. Aiken, Maui member of the pro-motion committee, accompanied byMrs. Aiken, returned home by the Lur-lin- e

on Wednesday.The Aikens enjoyed an extended

mainland trip and naturally he waswatching promotion work and whatadvertising Hawaii Is getting. Hedoes not agree with some other re-turned Honoluluans relative to bad ef-

fects of parodies on Hawaiian musicand dances, but says It is all advertising and is recognized as parodystuff and so is publicity and

The Aikens took their car withthem when they left. They spent sixweeks in California and motored 2900miles. Leaving the car in Los Ange-les they went by train to the GrandCanyon of Arizona, Chicago, Cleve-land. Niagara Falls, Albany, Boston,New York, Atlantic City, Philadelphia,Washington, Knoxville, New Orleans,Houston, San Antonio, El Paso andback to the Pacific coast.

Aiken says that one of the most interesting and Inspiring features ofhis trip was a luncheon of the Mer-chants' Association of New York,where 1200 of the prominent business,men of the nation's metropolis werepresent. But above this he ranks thesecond game of the world series whichhe attended and narrowly escapedheart disease.

1 Rural Free Delivery

Proposed For Haiku

Postofficc Department Would Open

First Service Of Kind In IshndsPetition Being Circulated

The first rural free delivery mailroute in the territory is soon to beestablished on Maui, if the people ofthe Haiku and Kaupakalua districtsdecide that they want it. It is under-stood that the postoflice authoritieshave not only offered to establish sucha service, but have suggested it to thePauwela residents as a substitute fortheir postoillce, which was abolishedafter the rostmaster was arrested fordefalcation of funds of the office.

The Haiku Faimers' Association isat present busy having the necessarypetition circulated, and as soon as therequired proportion of residents alongthe proposed route have signed it,agreeing'to make use of the service,and to maintain suitable mail boxes infront of their homes, the post officialshave promised to act.

Visitor From Alaska

Finds Friend Here

Had Been Neighbors In Klondike 12

Years Ago Neither Knew Other

Was In Hawaii

Mrs Andrew Halset, of Fairbanks,Alaska, who is the guest of Mr. andMrs. E. S. Smith, of Haiku, was pleas-antly surprised a few days after herarrival to learn of the presence inMaul of another friend, who had beenher neighbor in the Klondike" duringthe stirring gold rush twelve yearsago. This was Mrs. M. L. Simpson, ateacher in the Spreckelsville school,who was equally surprised at the un-expected reunion. Mrs. Halset spentseveral days as Mrs. Simpson's guestin Wailuku.

The two friends first met during thegold boom In the Klondike of 1904-5- .

Mrs. Simpson had accompanied herhusband to the land of gold, and Mrs.Halset, who had braved the northlandalone, by chance happened to be liv-ing next door to the Simpson cottage.Mrs. Halset lost track of her friendafter Mrs. Simpson left Alaska, anddid not know that she was in Hawaiiuntil fate once more threw them to-

gether.Mrs. Halset is much in love with the

Islands. She plans to visit Haleakalaand other points of interest on Mauibefore leaving for Hawaii to see Kil-aue-

She plans to leave in a fewweeks for her home, which she willreach by dog teams over the ice atthis season.

Kilauea Breaks Shaft

Schedules Are Upset

The Inter-Islan- d steamer Kilauea,which has been substituting- on theMauna Kea's run while the latter ison the dry-doc- k in Honolulu, crackedher shaft on Monday night, just be-

She returned on Wednesday,however, returning to Honolulu onThursday afternoon, one day late. TheKinau has taken the Kilauea's placefor the present. It is reported thatthe injured vessel may be off the runfor a number of weeks before repairscan be made.

LETS HAVE A PERM. I NEXT FAIR GROUXD

That tin: Maui County Fair will c an annual event is now acceptedas a matter of course. And this fact is a reminder that more adequatefacilities must he provided for future fairs. It will be impossible tothing of holding another fair in the base hall park, which has alreadyproven too small. The matter is already being discussed seriously andtentative plans for a permanent fair grounds proposed.

The suggestion made is that a site of sufficient size be acquiredin the sand hills between Wailuku and Kahului; a road cut through tomake it accessahle from both directions, and that suitable buildings andgrounds be laid out on a scale that will be adequate for years to come.The idea goes further than the making of an ordinary conventionalfair ground. Rather it calls for a public park or assembly groundthat may be used by the people of Maui throughout the year. Perm-anent buildings suitable for sheltering exhibits could be of such char-

acter that they might at other times be used for general gatherings,dances, etc. A race track is suggested and possibly a polo field laidout. The grounds should provide a base ball diamond, ;md shouldprovide a drill ground or camp site for the national guard. It would'be well, it is pointed out, to have these grounds laid out and buildings,trees and other permanent features located by an expert landscapearchitect.

The idea seems a most practical and timely one. Whatever is

done for next year must be taken up soon, particularly as the ideato be general that the fair should be held earlier in ti.e season

in order to incur less danger of interference from bad weather.Probably the proper first steps to be taken would be the. fomationof a fair association, to be incorporated and the stock sold in smalldenominations to the public generally. Such an association is theone which now has the management of the annual carnival in Ho-

nolulu, and is the method by which such public undertakings arenow generally handled. Of course, judging from the financial suc-

cess of the first fair, it is probable that the stockholders wouldnever be called upon to pay for their stock, their province beingrather that of sureties for the enterprise.

GERMANY'S PEACE PROFFER

Notwithstanding Germany's peace proposal it is not likely that thewar will end yet for many weary months. The Allies' attitude towardsthe proposition is doubtless fairly reflected by the first utterances ofthe British press, which are described as sarcastic. It does not seemthat cither side in the titanic struggle is anyways near exhaustion, andcertainly neither has made much progress towards the attainment' of theaspirations which brought about the conflict. The Entente powers willprobably reject the German conditions for peace as impossible, andGermany, having made her appeal to public opinion to stop the slaught-er, and in this wise absolved herself of blame for further bloodshed,will likely resume the struggle with renewed energy and fury.

Britain has repeatedly declared that peace can only come with thebreaking down of the Prussian military machine, and certainly the ac-

complishment of this is not in sight. At the same time it seems likelythat the world may sicken ofthe awful orgie of blood before either sideis really beaten, and be able to force a truce which will lead to a peacesuch as will preserve the dignity of al nations involved.

But while the war is thus not likely to be ended in the near future,the outlook does seem a little brighter from the fact that the powersare for the first time really thinking something about peace, and it maytherefore be that the present year will not go out without some promisefor a way out of the horrors which have overwhelmed the world forthe past two years.

A MATTER OF LOCAL PRIDE

In the line of industrial preparedness Maui is about to make a valu-able contribution in the manufacture of a high grade of portlandcement. Thousands of tons of this product are used in the Territoryannually, and the demand is steadily increasing. At the present timeconstruction in many lines is being delayed because of inability ofsteamship companies to make deliveries promptly. This demandpromises to be relieved in some measure through the enterprise of theMaui Agricultural Company which is building an extensive cementplant at Paia.

Although the feasibility of making a good quality of cement fromisland products was apparently demonstrated on Oahu nine or tenyears ago, it remained for Maui brains and capital to put it to a practic-al test. That it will be fully successful seems unquestioned.

o

PERHAPS WE DON'T NEED IT

The controversy of the College Club with the Department of PublicInstruction and the Governor, which has been raging for several weeks,is a matter of very general interest because the school of a com-munity touch the people more directly than almost any other institution.If we understand the matter correctly, the ladies of the College Clubhave suggested that mainland teachers should be accorded equal con-

sideration in matter of appointment and renumeration with our normalschool trained teachers; and also that the federal department of education be invited to make a scientific survey of our educational system.

Just why the administration should take exception to the: e requestsis not clear. In fact it would seem that both suggestioi s are mostreasonable and timely unless, indeed, we are so self-satisfi- as tobe" convinced that we have nothing more to learn from the rest of theworld in matters educational.

AN APPRECIATION

To the splendid and generous of the press of theTerritory, Maui owes and acknowledges a deep debt. Particularly isthis true of the papers of Honolulu. No event on Maui was ever sowell advertised, and no advertising ever brought us better results. Thatwe delivered the goods is a matter of local gratification, but our successwould have been very much less had our efforts not been so well second-ed. The Maui News is certain that it voices the sentiment of everymember of the fair committee in thus expressing its appreciation.

'o

A soldier was shot on Thanksgiving Day at Schoficld Barracks.An officer is under arrest and confirmed to his quarters, charged withthe shooting. The news of the occurance has jut leaked out. Doubt-less the army department considered it none of the public's business.

Territorial Veterinarian Norgaard states that an effort is likelyto be made in the next legislature to have the inspection of dairy cattlestopped. We hope the Doctor is mistaken Hawaii is generally pro-gressive, but any such move as he indicates would be to put us on thebackward course. What we need, is more diligent inspection and test-ing of milk cows. Menacing the lives of babies in order that unscrup-ulous or ignorant dairymen may make money by selling milk fromtubercular cows, is something this Territory should never stand for.Think of your own children and then sit down and write what you thinkof such a criminal proposition to the legislators in your district.

o

CAN WE AFFORD THE LUXURY?

The one-ce- nt letter postage bill now before the Congress seeks toattain its object by piling the load upon newspapers and magazines. Ifthe plan proposed becomes a law we shall have one cent postage forour letters instead of two cents but we shall pay six cents per poundfor newspapers and magazines coming to the Islands. The new billbxes newspaper rates according to zones, as in case of 'parcel postmatter. It is probable that such a law will have the effect of raising thesubscription price on all publications, since a magazine weighing alound would require six cents postage to carry it across the continentor to Hawaii, instead of one cent as at present. ,

Gasoline Cost To

Be Greatly Reduced

(isvernment fhemirt's New ProcessPasses Every Test Includes Dis-

covery Of German Dye Secrets

WASHINGTON, December 9 Aflortwenty months of careful testing out ofthe process discovered by Dr. WallerF. Rittman, of the bureau of minrs inthe department of the interior, where-by petroleum refineries will be enabl-ed to extract two hundred per centmore gasoline from crude petroleumthan under the present niethode of re-fining, it was announced at the bureauyesterday that the process is a pract-ical and a commercial success.

The announcement of the bureau ofmines in March of last year that sucha process had been evolved by one ofthe se'entists of the bureau staff washailed as something of the very high-est importance, both from an industri-al and a military staindpoint. The dis-covery includes a process wherebyfrom crude petroleum it is possible toproduce tuluol and benzol, the bases ofaniline dyes, on a large scale andcheaply. Heretofore the method ofextracting these bases from crudepetroleum has been one of the mostclosely guarded of German tradesecrets.

The process whereby the gasolineoutput may be trebled will solve thequestion of motor transportation on alarge scale and the whole problem ofthe fuel supply for gasoline run mach:Inery.

The experiments on a commercialscale which have been carried outhave been conducted with the use itCalifornia oil.

Another announcement yesterday bythe bureau of ni'nes is that radium tothe value of a million dollars has beenproduced at a cost of extraction fromthe pitchblende ore of only $340,000,through the of the produc-ers of the ore and the National RadiumInstitute. The greater part of the rad-ium so produced will go to the varioushospitals throughout the Union.

Weekly Market Letter

Island eggs are coming into themarket more plentifully, and the pricedropped during the week about 5c adozen. If the receipts of Island eggscontinue to get better, it is possiblethat the retail price of eggs will muchlower by Christmas. There is a gooddemand for poultry, as usual. Consumers wanting Inland turkey for Christ-mas had better order early, as thesupply will very likely be limited.

The new crop of Maui beans is Justbeginning to come in. All those whowere fortunate enough to plant .beansthis year, will receive good returns fortheir labor. There is a good demandtor the red and calico beans, but thesmall whites are stilt in greatest de-

mand. It is expected that a largo partof this year's crop will be shipped tothe mainland, where better prices canbe secured.

This has been the best year forcabbage growers for some time. Cab- -

There are no Island Irish potatoesin the market at the present time. Ka-uai sweet potaoes are again in themarket, and a great many people areusing them exclusively, as they are,without a doubt, the best Bweet potatoraised in the Islands.

The market Is overstocked withlimes, and the price is likely to dropto fifty cents a hundred before long.Nothing but the best limes should besent to the market at this tfie.

The selling prices of roselles, so farthis year, have been very discourag-'ng- ;

although the selling price to theconsumer has been lowered to theactual cost of production, very smallquantities could be moved. The localjam and jelly factories will not handleproduct, claiming that they are unableto dispose of the jams and jellies.After the rosello has been on themarket a while longer, it is possiblethai they will get the recognitionwhich it would seem they deserve.

There is a shortage of Island meat atthe present, and a great many of thebutchers in the. fish market are usingcold storage meat from the mainland.This condition is likely to remain un-changed for two or three months, atleast.

There was no change in the pricesof dressed meats and hides, during theweek. Feed prices are still on the in-crease.

PLAIN SPEAKING

Owing to the Increased demands onthe Normal school, funds have notbeen available to meet them, yet Iventure to say the Normal school hasmore effectively carried out its mis-sion than some of our higher institu-tions and at a far greater tax on itsteachers. From the governor's letterto the school commissioners.

Elsewhere in the letter from whichthe nbove quotation is made, the gov-ernor says: "Why not state the Issueplainly?"

Why, also, should not the governorstate plainly which of "our higher in-

stitutions" is not carrying out its mis-sions as effectively as the NormalBchool? Star-Bulleti-

LABORERS AND THE BONUS

The effect of the big bonus paid outto the plantation laborers of Kauaionly a few days ago has alreadymanifested itself in several ways.First, the stores all over the islandreport unprecedentedly large, daily,cash receipts, the laborers throwingtheir paper money around with theabandon of the e andexperimenting in all sorts of luxurieswhich they had hitherto thought couldbe enjoyed only by "rich folks."

The second result of the financialwindfall has manifested itself in theamount of drunkenness that has dev-eloped. Probably never in the historyof the island, even in the Christmasholidays, have there been so manyinstances of intoxication around Lihueand neighboring towns as since thisbonus was paid to the laborers; andwe suppose the same condition of af-

fairs has obtained all over Kauai.The serious phase of the matter is

that the new-foun- d wealth has sharp-ened in the minds of many laborers(particularly Filipinos) the desire toparade in fancy socks and neckties inthe city, and" has brought the

opportunity. Rumors havereached us that there will be an ex-

odus of them from Kauai by the nextsteamers to Honolulu, and we supposethat a similar condition of affairs willobtain as to the other islands.

It seems a pity that some meanscould not have been devised wherebythis bonus, or "present," to the labor-ers could have been held in trust andpaid to them in smaller amounts permonth. As it is most of the cane fieldlaborers are literally "rolling in" aWealth which they do not know whatto do with and the consequences maybe easily surmised. Garden Island.

AT THE THEATERS

"ttBlue Blood and Red"Another smashing Fox Film Corpor

ation feature comes to the Maulheaters with the initial presen

tation of "Blue Blood and Red," whichintroduces George Walsh and DorisPawn, a new and handsome pair ofFox stars, to local audiences.

A change of location is noted In thesetting of the scenes in this feature.Red Gulch, Montana, and vicinity areepicted for the purposes of the story,

something unusual for a Fox film. Theusual cowpuncher scenes are much inevidence, as is the posse in search ofthe hero whom they have mistaken fora villavn. Then there Is the Inevitablenear-lynchin- g in which the hero is al-

most "sent over." But for the hero-ine it would have been "curtains" forhe heroine and the faithful "man"

who has followed the hero from hismacnificeent home in effete New York.

There should be sufficient action Inthis film, provided it follows the story,and Fox films usually do, to last themost excacting for at least one largeevening. Of course, the hero and hero-ine understand each other admirablyand give a touch of romance to themore strenuous ranch life as it is de-

picted by the playwright and as Itpossibly was when Judge Lynch heldsway.

The World's Great Snare"Pauline Frederick has been seen at

the Maui theaters in "Bella Donna,"Lvdia Gilmore," "The Spider,"Sold," "Zaza," "Audrey" and "The

Moment Before," just to mention afew of her most successful offeringsCom':ng week she will return in "TheWorld's Great Snare," and, accordingto popular opinion, which at the Lib-erty is demonstrated by the size ofthe house and the amount of the ap-plause, she scored the most decidedhit of her screen career.

"The World's Greatest Snare" is apicturization of E. Phillips Oppen- -

heim's story of the same name andthe picture is even stronger than thestory. It is intense in its dramaticstrength and its pictorial art is wellin advance of the ordinary photo-play- .

Pauline Frederick is easily one of theleading emotional actresses of thescreen and as Myra the dancer in thepopular cafe she is entrusted with arole that is a credit to the artist anato which the artist does full credit.

Cafe life and the cabaret makes amost entertaining pair of subjects forthe camera and the Famous Playershave taken full advantage of the op-

portunity afforded. The film is onethat is assured of the greatest measure of success.

"The Conflict"Life is a conflict a battle of op

posing forces contending lor selfishends. But the bitterest clash of allis the battle of hearts. Here are twowomen, proud, spirited, beautiful, whoplay with the lives of men as pawnson a chess Doara, oniy to casi xnesepuppets aside when their dominantpurpose of revenge has been gained.Within these women lies dormant the

g hate of years, and thoughit costs the souls of men, vengeanceIs their only thought. The conflict ofmind, heart and wits makes a power-ful drama, tense in its realism. Itdelineates a vivid picture of the endsto which jealousy leads its slaves."Susie Snowflake"

Petite, pretty Ann Pennington, thepopular musical comedy favorite, con-

tributes a distincly new type of screencharacterization in the Famous Play-ers Film Company's picturization oflife behind the footlights vs. the village, "Susie snownaKe, mere issomething irresistibly appealing aDouithe bewitching little heroine of thisunique photo-play- , and as "Susie" MissPennincton has caught all tne cnarmand piquancy of the little dancer whoscandalizes her maidenly aunts andsets her home village agog when shebrings her Broadway Ideals into thecommunity. But there is a lot of realcharacter and unswerving loyalty in"SuBie," as she proves when she is putto the test.

To make the interest of this paramount Picture complete, there is a lover

a real one and another chap whohopes to win Susie's love through hismoney-bags- , and an oia rascai wnomistakes Susie for an unsophisticatedlittle darling until she convinces himthat it is emphatically otherwise."The Secret of the Submarine"

Cleo is dragged from the cellar inwhich she was bound, Just as thebomb hurled by Morton explodes.Lieut. Hope is rendered unconscious.Cleo and Hook care for him, watchedby Satsuma. Stephatmky is killed.

The next known purcnaser is ram.Del Marr, wife of a Brltlsn consul.Cleo and Hope are invited to attenda reception at her house. The con-

spirators also obtain invitations.Mahlin disguised as a servant firstgains access to the much sought books,and as he peruses them, Cleo, Hopeand Mrs. Del Marr enter.

thi-.- a majority ol the new cases eachyen- - are going to be reported duringhe winter months, as was the case

List year, and consequently the bureauexpects to have four busy montli3 a

'here fore, that it warn the people ofih? extra care necessary for them-rclve- s

during the damp and stormycanon, when colds are more easilyrevoked and r.rgligence will often beollowed by bad results. The healthy

Keep constantly alert during thevintcr.then. says the board of health,'xerctee wisely, keep dry, breatheresh air only, r.nd eat correctly. Re- -

Wide Tire Law Proposed

In order that the new macadamroad through the Kuiaha homesteadsinny be saved from as much needlesswear as possible, and also because theresidents of the district bel'ieve thatall roads would be easier kept up onaccount of it, a movement has beenstarted to have an ordinance passedlimiting the width of tires that mayle used on vehicles. Wide tires, it is.;lamed, will help preserve the roadsenormously during periods of heavynauling. I). F.

Echoes Of The Fair

Where Guards Are UnnecessaryThe display of over $100,000 in gold

and eurrencv in a ordinary glass showcase and without guards, was the strik-ing exhibit of the Finst National Hankof Wailuku. Cashier C. D. Lufkin isconfident that such n thing would notbe feasible in any other part of theworld. He says he felt no uneasinesswhatever.

Fine Corn ExhibitedF. O. Krauss, of the extension div-is'o- n

of the Hawaii Experiment Sta-tion, expressed himself as especiallypleased over the corn exhibit. Someof the corn shown-woul- d have attract-ed attention at any corn show. Mr.Krauss believes in corn for Maui.

Strong on HogsThe swine of various oreeds exnnm- -

ed are believed to have been betterthan could have been shown by anyother Islands. The interest in hogbreeding in Maui has been markidduring the past few years.

Governor ShownIn view of his rather severe com

ments on Maui homesteaders, In hisspeech, Governor Pinkham had his attention particularly called to llie a

of home grown products made bythe Haiku Farmers Association, andhe acknowledged that he was muchimpressed. The variety of productswhich have been developed in thedistrict in less than four years musthave impressed anyone.

Children's Day SuccessThe work of the committee on

education was especially inspiring.The parade in which two thousand ormore children took part must havedone much towards making them feelthat they had a real part in the bigevent. It was good preparation for themore important parts many of themwill play in future Maui fairs.

Error in NamesThrough an error on the part of

the clerks of the Fair in collating theVila of prizes awarded, credit for fiveentries of Plymouth Rock poultry wasgiven to James Lindsay instead of toMiss Isa Lindsay.

Merry.Co-'Roun- to LahainaThe merry-gn-'roun- which did such

a big business at the Fair, continuedto attract pood ciowda all last week.It was shipped to Lahaina the first ofthis week whole it will help collect thesurplus d'mes.

Paying for the FunThe finance committee Is busy col-

lecting the outstanding bills againstthe Fair, and hopes to know exactlywhore it stands in a few days. Checkswill be mailed to cover puch indebt

edness probably by the middle of nextweek.

Good Weather LuckThe members of the general com-

mittee are congratulating themselvesthat the far was not held a weekbiter than it. was. Had the Uona stormof last week overtaken it tho resultwould have been awful to contemplate.

TRADE WIND LYRICS"The Call of the Islands" might

be another name for theprettv volume of verses entitled"Trade Wind Lyrics" which has justmade its appearance from the Hawaii-an Gazette press. It Is from the penof Herbert M. Ayres, whose poemsduring the past ten of fifteen yearshave won for him, in the opinion ofmany, the title of poet laureate of Ha-

waii. "Trade Wind Lyrics" containsRome of Mr. Ayres' best efforts, someof which are likely to live when thevolume which now contains them isforgotten. Almost all of the versesexpress strongly the lure of the Is-

lands which the author undoubtedlyknows so well. There is also a sub-- .tone of melancholy running throughthem the cloud shadows of a Hawaii-an landscape. Herbert Ayres knowsHawaii from angles, and he tells usabout them. Some of them are notaltogether lovely, though they willdoubtless ring true in the experienceof many men of many lands. But isthe tender and appreciative handlingof the natural beauties and wondersof Hawaii the sea, the sky, the flow-ers, the mountains he reveals thereal secret of Hawaii's grip which somany feel but which few have thegift to express.
