Two performances are scheduled. "So Long Letty," will be given at the Wailuku Orpheum on Thursday evening, January 4th, and annthpr T 1 will lio crlvon nn Vrrnv Kahuiui louowmg is wnai ine Aavertiser nas to say about a recent performance of the company: "So Long, Letty," the performance of which was staged last night at the Dijou, is putting an unusual ending to the season the Ingersoll Comedy Company at the playhouse. It has already sold out four houses, and bids fair to do so again tonight, with the possibility that, if It does, it will be continued for a week. "So Long, Letty," is far ahead of everything else the Ingersoll people attempted during their here. Constant applause interrupted the performance last night, and the four principals deserved all they got. Frank Vack never did anything better, nor did Pearl Jardiniere, who at last has a real part and Is showing she is a good deal more than a funny interpolation, and does the best work of the season here. Jeanne Mai and Kek Schilling are the other members of the quartet whose romance has been so comically displayed, and they are just as good. The music Is tune ful, catchy and well sung. These four arc practically all of "So Long, Letty," and no more are needed. In of the fact this show runs forty-fiv- e minutes longer than the company's productions in the past, there isn't a slow minute In it, nor is there a minute when the situa- tion is not becoming funnier than it was the minute previous. As a clever comedy with few plays produced in the past few seasons to equal it, and Ingersoll players are doing it full justice. Adv.

NUMBER 45 Bullet Through Wall Kills Sleeping Baby Peculiar Tragedy During Christmas Celebration At Hamakuapoko Camp Man Held On Suspicions Struck by a bullet fired by an un- known band, Flora, the little three ami n half year old daughter of Mr. nnd Mrs. John Oouveia, of Hamakua, without hr.ving recovered conscious- ness. The shooting occurred on Sun- day afternoon about 4:30 o'clock, the balling coming through the wnll of the room in which the child was lying asleep on a bed. The missile, which was probably from a 32 calibre revol- ver, entered the baby's head Just above the ear, and lodged in the brain near the base of the skull. A Torto Riean named Fernandez Planesi. who lived in the camp about 160 feet from the Gouveia home, Is being by the police on suspicious of having fired the shot, though he denies vigorously that he even owns a firearm. There is no doubt that the shot was a random one, since no one firing at the house, even intentionally, could have had any idea of hitting anyone within. A bullet-pierce- d banana leaf outside the Gouveia residence enabled Sheriff Crowell, who investigated the case, to determine the direction in which the shot was fired, and this indicates that it came from a window of the house occupied by Planesi. At the of the shooting a party of Porto Rican merry-maker- s were playing and singing near the corner of Planesl's house, but according to the course the bullet must have taken, they were at too low an elevation for it to have come from them. The case is a peculiarly sad one. The mother of the dead child was in another part of the house when one of her other children ran in saying that the baby had bloody on its face. The cries of the frantic mother brought a crowd of neighbors, but it was some time before the excited community could appreciate how the child had been shot. The fact that firecrackers were being fired all through the camp, in celebration of Christmas, explains why the revolver shot seems not to have been noticed by anyone. Planesi today confessed to Sheriff Crowell thit he fired the shot. He was simply celebrating, he said. Church Of Good - Stephen! Jubilee ing In Wailuku To Be Celebrated Next Sunday On Christmas day of fifty years ago, that is, in tno year iuo, me congregation of the Church or tne Good Shepl erd worshiped for the first time iji its own church building.

As a climax to almost a week of Christmas celebration in which booze played a prominent part, Joseph Pu- nihale, of Hana, was burned to a cind- er, Joseph Hu, a ten-yea- r old boy was so badly burned that he died later, while a murder charge may be lodged against one or more Hana residents. The tragedy occured near midnight on Wednesday, when the small house of George Hu, near the county stables in Hana, was burned to the ground. Punihale, who was asleep in the build- - ing was incinerated, Hu made his escape uninjured, but can tell little about the matter, and his young son who escaped by jumping through a with his clothing in a blaze, was bo badly injured that he died about one o'clock yesterday afternoon. Earlier in the eveing the place had been crowded with revelers who had been hanging about the place and drinking since Christmas. The party broke up about eleven o'clock on ac- count of a row which started, in which Punihale is said to have had a prominent part. All of the crowd left except Hu and his son and Punihale, who went to bed. How the house caught fire is not known, though from the fact of the fight, the police are not certain that it may not have been the worlr of an incendiary. Sheriff Crowell left this morning for Hana where he expects to hold an inquest at which the matter will be thoroughly investigated. Puuihale was a luna on the Kaeleku Sugar Company's plantation. He is survived by a wife- and three children. The dead boy was not thought at first to be badly burned, but is supposed to have inhaled the flames through which he ran in escap- ing from the house.

New Kindergartner For Kahului Is Appointed At a meeting of the Kahului Kind- ergarten Committee held this week at the Haldwin National Hank. Miys Myrtle Hannah, of Honolulu was en- gaged to be the successor ot Miss A. R. Swain, who came in September to take up the work oi the kindergar- ten, but who taught for only five weeks. Miss Hannah has been the house guest of Mr. John Guild of Honolulu, and has a wide circle of friends in the city. She comes with the very highest recommendations to take up the position in Kahului. She will occupy the cottage in the parson age yard, and will probably board with Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Pleasant. There were a largo number of ap- plicants for the Kahului position. The Committee felt, that In Miss Hannah nil unusual opportunity was presented in view of the fact she is a train ed kindergartner who had taken special work under Miss Frances Lawrence and has had a great deal of practical experience in actual practice work n Honolulu. Miss Hannat is expected to begin her work immediately when the new term begin in January. The school numbers orer sixty pupils. It is probably that she will be furnished 'with at : 1'ast one assistant.

The Ingersoll Comedy Company,which has been delighting Honolulutheater goers for some weeks, will beon Maui next week, according to in-formation received this morning byManager Pharos.

Kahuiuilouowmg is wnai ine Aavertiser nasto say about a recent performance ofthe company:

"So Long, Letty," the performanceof which was staged last night at theDijou, is putting an unusual ending tothe season the Ingersoll ComedyCompany at the playhouse. It hasalready sold out four houses, and bidsfair to do so again tonight, with thepossibility that, if It does, it will becontinued for a week. "So Long,Letty," is far ahead of everything elsethe Ingersoll people attempted duringtheir here.

Constant applause interrupted theperformance last night, and the fourprincipals deserved all they got.Frank Vack never did anything better,nor did Pearl Jardiniere, who at lasthas a real part and Is showingshe is a good deal more than a funnyinterpolation, and does the best workof the season here. Jeanne Mai andKek Schilling are the other membersof the quartet whose romance hasbeen so comically displayed, and theyare just as good. The music Is tuneful, catchy and well sung.

These four arc practically all of"So Long, Letty," and no more areneeded. In of the fact this showruns forty-fiv- e minutes longer thanthe company's productions in thepast, there isn't a slow minute In it,nor is there a minute when the situa-tion is not becoming funnier than itwas the minute previous. As a clevercomedy with few plays produced inthe past few seasons to equal it, andIngersoll players are doing it fulljustice. Adv.

As a climax to almost a week ofChristmas celebration in which boozeplayed a prominent part, Joseph Pu-nihale, of Hana, was burned to a cind-er, Joseph Hu, a ten-yea- r old boy wasso badly burned that he died later,while a murder charge may be lodgedagainst one or more Hana residents.

The tragedy occured near midnighton Wednesday, when the small houseof George Hu, near the county stablesin Hana, was burned to the ground.Punihale, who was asleep in the build- -

ing was incinerated, Hu made hisescape uninjured, but can tell littleabout the matter, and his young sonwho escaped by jumping through a

with his clothing in a blaze,was bo badly injured that he diedabout one o'clock yesterday afternoon.

Earlier in the eveing the place hadbeen crowded with revelers who hadbeen hanging about the place anddrinking since Christmas. The partybroke up about eleven o'clock on ac-

count of a row which started, inwhich Punihale is said to have had aprominent part. All of the crowd leftexcept Hu and his son and Punihale,who went to bed.

How the house caught fire is notknown, though from the fact of thefight, the police are not certain thatit may not have been the worlr of anincendiary. Sheriff Crowell left thismorning for Hana where he expects tohold an inquest at which the matterwill be thoroughly investigated.

Puuihale was a luna on the KaelekuSugar Company's plantation. He issurvived by a wife- and threechildren. The dead boy was notthought at first to be badly burned,but is supposed to have inhaled theflames through which he ran in escap-ing from the house.

gaged to be the successor ot MissA. R. Swain, who came in Septemberto take up the work oi the kindergar-ten, but who taught for only fiveweeks.

plicants for the Kahului position. TheCommittee felt, that In Miss Hannahnil unusual opportunity was presentedin view of the fact she is a trained kindergartner who had takenspecial work under Miss FrancesLawrence and has had a great dealof practical experience in actualpractice work n Honolulu.

Miss Hannat is expected to beginher work immediately when the newterm begin in January. The schoolnumbers orer sixty pupils. It isprobably that she will be furnished

THE FUTURE NEWSPAPER

EDITOR AND MANAGER

DECEMBER 29, 1916.

The journalism of the next decade zvill be sane, sober and sincere;sane as opposed to sillv; sober as opposed to sensational; sincere asopposed to selfish. Then' will be more newspapers for discriminatingreaders and fewer catchpenny sheets. The newspaper of tomorrowwill aim to be sound as --well as to resound; it will be a newspaper ofsense, but not of sensation devoted to service, but not cringing servility.

C.al Herbert O. Gunnison, in Leslie's.o

SHALL WE SQ1XT OR UE BOSSED?

The Maui News does not think that Honolulu has madesuch a success of governing itself as to ask to he allowed togovern the whole Territory. This is apropos of the demandraised by The Advertiser that the terms of the Organic Actrespecting the decennial reapportionment of scats in the legis-

lature be carried out. The News appears to believe that thelaw may very well be flouted, because it is not a good law. Thisis the attitude taken by the llilo Herald regarding the alleged

es made from the road fund by Road Super-

visor Lyman. The Herald admits that this is against thelaw, if shown to be so, but that it ought to be praised and notcondemned, because the law was broken in a good cause. Isthis moral strabismus catchng? Advertiser.Sure, flout the the law when it is obviously unjust and mischievous.

This thing of the sanctity of the law simply because it happens to be

law is overworked by those whose interests may be served by so doing.As long as laws are made by men they will be fallible, and a law thatwould turn the government of the whole territory over to the littlering of politicians in Honolulu, certainly is fallacious. If Honoluluwants the law enforced, let her appeal to the Congress on the matter.That should bring things to a head. As to this strabismus thing (if itstrue we've got it) perhaps the mails from Honolulu haven't been proper-ly fumigated lately. Squinting has long been chronic in some news-

paper establishments in the capital.o

DO WE WANT MORE CHINESE?

The plan of the Chinese chamber of commerce to have the Congressamend the immigration laws so that a limited number of Chinese agri-

cultural laborers may be brought into Hawaii, is not a new project.Whatever mav be said in its favor there is small likelihood that it willsucceed. The same interests which were responsible for first raisingthe bars against the Chinese, namely organized labor of the PacificCoast, will in all probability block the move with all its power. Buteven though the mainland offered no objection .would the admissionof more Chinese be the best thins for Hawaii? Would is hasten the"Americanizinc" of the Islands?

Nor does this argue anything against the Chinese, who have longsince proven their admirable qualities and who today lorm one oi theverv best elements of our cosmopolitan society. The same objectionwould apply to any other nationality, were that nationality already moredominant than our own. lhe question is one wnicn would look beyondimmediate expediency. There is no question that ?5,000 Chinese labor-ers would be most welcome at the present time in all lines of industryBut would the real welfare of the Islands fifty years hence be furtheredor hindered by such an addition ?

Hawaii already has its problems that deserve the best and mostunselfish thought of its citizens, and this is but another of the samekind. I will bear any amount of study.

o' MORIS JOLTS FOR KING BOOZE

The theory that a free American citizen has an inalienable right torot out his inner tubes with booze it it suits Ins pleasure so to do, getsa hard iolt every Jime that innocent people have to suffer also. Itdoesn't help the liquor interests much to have a bunch of rummies burnthemselves up, as occured this week in liana, particularly whenten-ye- ar old boy loses his life also; nor are funny stunts like upsettingpoi wagons, caulculated to make the business more popular. Of coursea lot of us free citizens who like our beer or highball and are not givento doing these kind of things, don't like to be held responsible for thosewho do. But more and more of us are reaching the frame of mindwhere we will no longer line up with the booze interests in theirfight against prohibition. It is this same attitude on the part of nonabstainers all over the country that bids fair to put the whole UnitedStates on the water wagon in the no distant future.

STAND BACK OF THE PRESIDENT

When two men are engaged in a violent quarrel and a third partysuggests that there may be a way to settle the row, there is nothingsurprising if one or both of the scrappers waxes sarcastic. Nor is thereception of President Wilson's note by the Entente powers and by apart of the Teuton press anything not to be expected. Men and nationsalike may be blinded to actualities by their proximity, and be uncons-cious of the fact. It does not follow that President Wilson has nottaken an altogether proper course when he suggested to the warringforces of Europe that the pause long enough to outline what eachbelieves it is fighting for and what it would be satisfied with as a basis opeace. While it may be too early to expect the war to end, thePresident's question, by directing thought toward peace and to themeans of attaining it, may aid toward the all-to-- desired result. Inany event it can do no harm, nor has it injured the dignity of AmericaThe only surprising thing is that some presumably American citizensshould find in the President's action a cause for sneer and jeering. Thiswould seem to be one instance at least, where every American couldwhole-hearted- ly endorse the idea which is in the interests of humanityand which must accord in large measure with American opinion.

Graves,Ch'ef of the Forest Service, in his an-nual report, twenty new water powerproject which utilize National Forestland began operation. This was anincrease of 18 V6 percent in the totalnumber. In the fiscal year 1915 thenumber of new projects which beganoperation was twelve. Forty-tw- o per-cent of the total developed waterpower of the United States utilizeNational Forest land, the Forest Serv-ice figures show.

Development of relatively smallprojects Is particularly in evidence,according to Mr. Graves, in the RockyMountain States. California leads inthe amount of power under permitand In operation. The number oftransmission line permits In effectwas increased by thirteen during theyear. The forty applications forpower-proje- permits received in1916 included eight from Alaska anotable evidence .according to the re-port, of Increased local interest inpower development on. National For-est lands there.

Concerning the report prepared bythe Forest Service in response to aresolution of the Senate calling uponthe Secretary of Agriculture for

regarding the ownershipand control of water power sites andany facts bearing on the question asto the question as to the existenceof a monopoly In the ownership andcontrol of hydroelectric power In theUnited States, Mr. Graves says: "Thisreport presented In far greater detailthan has ever been attempted beforean exhaustive analysis of the generalpower situation. It showed a markedconcentration of definite and compl-ete control of a large percentage ofdeveloped water power by a very fewcompanies. Data presented regardingInterrelationships through commondirectors and principal officers In-

dicated a marked tendency toward as-

sociation or community of interests,particularly between the principalholding companies. The movementtoward concentration in commercialcentral stations of all the primarypower employed In the electrical in-dustries and in manufactures wasfound In all sections of the UnitedStates, the rate of concentration dur-ing the period 1902-191- 2 being highestIn the South Atlantic States and theextent of concentration greatest Inthe Western States.

"The rate of increase in waterpower development for public serviceuse from 1902-191- 2 was approximatelythree times as great as in steampower. Primary power installationfrom all sources and for all uses in-

creased from 1902 to 1912 more than2 times as rapidly in the elevenWestern States as in the remainderof the United States, while the in-

crease for primary electric power forthe same period was 440 percent forthe Western States, as against 226percent in the other States. The dev-elopment per capita of the WesternStates in 1912 was 2 times as greatas in other parts of the country.

"The report showed a considerablein nearly all the

power centers of the Western StatesCalifornia, Oregon, and Washington

in particular showing installations farin excess of maximum demands."

HEAVY RAINS ONOTHER ISLANDS

Hawaii and Kauai have suffered byheavy floods during the past twoweeks: On the northern island houseswere washed away and some narrowescapes are reported. Hilo has been'more than usually watersoacked, andthe railroad was put out of businessnear Glenwood for s short time byterrific downpours.

By a' directed verdict the Jury M.Fugimoto for the murder of II. Emoto,chauffeur of J. B. Castle, last weekreturned a verdict of not guilty. Themurder remains a mystery. Tome,the bride of the murdered man, whowas herself nearly killed by the mid-night assassin, remembers nothing ofthe tragedy.

t The store of Sul Yick, near thebridge in Wainiha, Kauai, was wash-ed out to sea on Monday night, ac-

I OUR ISLAND CONTEMPORARIES f

THE "CTOCKTON PLAN"AND HONOLULU

Response to the suggestion i,n thispaper yesterday that Honolulu shouldInvite California hlph schools to s;ndteams here n-- year or in 1017 asStockton '.lijtj school has done, vinieswith gratify.n? emphasis and un-animity?

The Stockton boys in their briefstay here have made a fine impressionof young manhood. They are poodstudents and good sportsmen. Theywon their trip by scholarship and athl-etic ability, with scholarship the firstemphasis.

Other high schools of the stafe willundoubtedly be glad to Bend teamshere as Stocks!? has done. It is agood th'ng for the boys and for theschools, and for Honolulu. To getthe best results from such visits nextyear or the year after, it would bewise to have the coast lads here allat the same time with a big inter-scholasti- c

track and field meet aswimming tournament, an entertain-ment and perhaps other features,heartily supported by the localschools, the city and the commercialnrgan'zation.

The possibilities along this line arealmost limitless. It is suggested forinstance, that, the biggest interschol-asti- c

track meet ever held could bestaged In Honolulu, through invita-tions to 200 or more high schools inthe United States, each being askedto send six men here. This featureis discussed fully by the sporting edit-or of the Star-Bulleti- n on the sportspage today.

Even if only the California schoolsbe included, the possibilities for all

' Hawaii are enormous. The publicitythat would result from such a plan ofbringing high school groups herewould be remarkable. Mr. Amos El-

liott, who is in charge of the Stocktonvisitors, proposes another feature wellworth attention. . It Is that each al-

ternate year Hawaii should send ateam to California. This schemecould be worked out in conjunctionwith that to bring here a large numberof high school boys.

Stockton has shown the way. Stock-ton's school authorities, public offici-als, businessmen, backed the trip,realizing that both in preparation forit and in its actual enjoyment the IdeaIs inspirational, educational.

Honolulu should lose no time indeciding to Invite the high schools ofCalifornia or of the whole couutryIf, upon consideration, that seemsfeasible to carry out the "Stocktonplan" In 1917 or 1918. Star-Bulleti-

WHERE THE SHOE PINCHESThe volutuous plantation bonus is

demoalizing labor generally, in theDistrict, and hitting some of the smal-ler employers of labor on the point ofchin. If the sugar magnates had delib-erately planned to bankrupt everyother industry in the islands theycouldn't have hit the nail squarer onthe head. Of course, in the cities andtowns the Itch for sudden wealth by".he bonus route doesn't probably workis great hardship as in a countrylistrict like Kohala. Every cook,yard man etc., has a brother, orcousin, or aikane (best friend) whohas drawn a 60 per cent bonus, andinstantly he sees the glittering goldpieces, his own steady pay looks like

copper cents, and he makes a raid onhis employer, couched something likethis "Boss, me speak I like bonus aliosame." And they expect back-mone-

for the whole of last year. KohalaMidget. -..It is announced from Honolulu thatthe bonus system of 1916 will be cont-inued by the sugar plantationsthrough 1917. We believe it to be amistake to hold this bonus and payout at one clip. Let it be paid by themonth. The laborers will be bettersatisfied and they will realize moreof value from the money. The 1916plan of filling the pockets of the lab-orers with money in a day has had ademoralizing effect, and should notbe repeated. Garden Island.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN?It is rather amusing to hear the

concern affected by some over thenear possibility of a substantial Ameri-

can-Japanese vote in these Islandsand at the same time note the abso-lute unconcern paid to the fact thatvery soon there may be a biggerFilipino vote here than that of theJapanese, Chinese and Portuguesecombined. The prospective Japanesevoters are American in birth, educa-tion and interest; the Filipinos areassisted imm'grants, poorly educatedand with a criminal record here thatis appalling. On Maui, during the pasttwo weeks, one hundred and twentyFilipinos applied for their first natur-alization papers, and here are fourhundred others on the Valley Islepreparing to apply for their firstpapers this week, a total of 530! Thetotal Maui Vote last month nvhs 2872.

Advertiser.

If the Japanese plantation laborersare sending some of their bonus mo-ney to their home country, whatabout it? Are the Japanese the onlypeople who send their surplus casheither to their relatives in the oldcountry or for investment there? Thelaborers don't, at any rate, send theirmoney for investment on the main-land in wild cat mining and oil stock,as do a large number of other na-tionalities. It is their money and theysurely can do what they like with it.

"Davy Crockett"The stoiy of the great frontier In-

dian fighter who loved as he foughtwith all his might and won what

hn sought In spite of all obstacles,even the (laughter of his aristocraticneighbor, Col. Vaughn.

Across a rugged barkground offrontier life Is woven this sweetestlove story of Stalwart Davy Crockettand dainty Eleanor Vaughn. She(lances beside him when he visitshis traps, learns from him the art ofwoodcraft, and in turn reads to himmasterpieces of literature, particular-ly his favorite hero, I.ochinvnr.

Eleanor goes to England to bo edu-cated; returning, her father d'es atsea. His vast estate is under thecontrol of Col. Royston, who througha weakness for gambling, has com-mitted forgery and involved theVaughn estate to Oscar Crampton, aprofessional gambler. To save him-self Royston is pledged to accomplishthe marriage of Eleanor to OscarCrampton's nephew, Neil.

Eleanor walks blindly into the netand Davy looks on sore at heart.Eleanor's awakening begins when sheis lost in the mountains wilh Nell,and snowbound in a deserted cabin.Davy discovers them, and while Nellshows a craven sprit of fear, Davythrusts his arm through the cleats!n the door and holds it all nightagainst the onslaught of a pack ofwolves.

The grand finale comes when Davyemulates his hero, Loehinvar, andcarries Eleanor away from the altar, awilling captive.

Never has Dustin Farnum had abetter role, and never has he risento more splendid heights in its por-trayal."The Smugglers"

Donald Brian, the popular stagefavorite, returns to the screen underauspicious as well as thoroughlyamusing circumstances in the FamousTlayers Film Company's comedyproduction, "The Smugglers." TheThe laughable series of comic traged-ies which results from the attemptof John Iiattleby Watts, who has mademillions by converting hay into break-fast food, to recover his wife's $20,-00- 0

pearls which he has carelesslylost, and for which he has substitut-ed bogus pearls, is presented withmuch humor and many thrills. Theculmination of Watt's trialsat the Customs House, when he at-tempts to smuggle in the bogus pearlsin order to avoid the exposure whichwould result from his declaring themat their supposed $20,000 valuation.In spite of his efforts, however, theindignant Mrs. Watts learns of thesubstitution of her pearls. In the fol-lowing scene Watts learns that thebelief that "pearls are made of tears"is composed of more truth than im-agination."The Serpent"

Theda Bara is at her best as VaniaLazar, a beauliful Russian peasantgirl. Betrayed and debauched by theGrand Duke Valonoff, she leaves thecountry and with naught but hate inher heart for all men deliberately setsforth on a career of devastation. Highor low degree, it matters naught, herprey is man, and In the city in whichshe has taken up her abode, sheleaves a trail marked by ruined lives.

The war has broken out, woundedsoldiers are arriving from the front,and "The Serpent" watches in gleeas the broken men file past herwindow. A Russian officer is carriedShe makes inquiry and discovers thatthe wounded officer is Prince Valon-off, son of the Grand Duke. Shehelps nurse him back to health andhe, too, falls victim to her charms.

Shortly after their marriage theGrand Duke sends word that he iscoming to visit his beloved and onlyson. The Prince is called away be-

fore his father's arrival. Vania greetsthe Grand Duke, who does not recogn-ize her. He makes love to her aftershe has lured him on.

The Prince returns, and finding hiswife clasped in the arms of his ownfather, commits suicide. The lastdrop of venom from the "TheSerpent's" fangs has found its mark."Britton of the Seventh""Briton of the Seventh," VitagraphBlue Ribbon Feature, employs theservices of the famous 11th Cavalry,known for their valor in all cam-paigns, and now engaged in the Villahunt in the wilds of Mexica.

DemandOnMainland-

Marketing Division Advised AgainstSelling Below 5 Cents Egg Sup-

ply Increasing Prices Dropping

The price of Inland eggs raneesfrom 55 to GFic, but the price nt whicheggs are being sold in the market isabout 60e. In spite of the bad weath-er, the local supply of eggs seems tobe Increasing.

The Division has been able to selll."00 bags of Maui Red Deans in SanFrancisco for ?o.S5 a bag. If thesebeans are shipped direct from Kahu-lul- .

they will net the producer at least,?5.00 In Kula. Farmers having beansfor sale should not sell to speculatorsfor a cent l":'s than $5.00. and if he isputting his beans in new bags, heshould get $5.20 in Kula. The beanslor shipment to San Francisco shouldbe first cleaned, and free from all dirt.Make all shipments in new bags. Nowthat, there is a market for ' Islandbeans on the Coast, the price hasbeen advanced in Honolulu to $5.80and $6.00 in order to net the produceras much as if they were shippin:- othe Coast. Pry Peas are also 'ing very good prices, and probal allthat are raised on Maul can In . i-mposed cf in Honolulu. There is alsoa good demand for Calico beans inHonolulu, but there is no market forthese on the Coast.

Due to the oversight the price ofLimes was not changed on the quota-tion sheet. The market is now flood-ed with limes and the price has nowdropped to tine to $l.l"l.

Due to the bad weather ,'t hasbeen hard to get large pineapples infrom the country, and the few that areon hand are small.

Roselle seem to be selling a littlebetter, but the demand still far bplowthe supply.

Hides are bring record prices, andtoday jumped to 19 Vic. Feed pricesare still going up.

Island beef is rather scarce, andcontracts made for the next threemonths have advanced the priceslightly.

Poultry Manure Has

High Value On Farm

Often Over

looked By Poultry Raisers Some

Figures

The manure produced is a .valuableof poultry raising. It is

estimated that the average nightdroppings of a hen amount to 30 to40 pounds per year. This representsthe manure which can certainly besaved with the exercise of a littlecare. A conservative estimate indic-ates that this manure contains fertil-izing constituents which would cost20 to 25 cents if bought in the form ofcommercial fertilizers at ordinaryprices. A flock of 100 hens would atthis rate produce manure worth $20to $25 per year. If, however, the man-ure is not properly cared for, as muchas one-hal- f of Its fertilizing value islikely to be lost. To prevent loss,free,uent cleaning of the droppingboards is necessary, and some sort ofabsorbent should be used daily.

Sifted coal ashes may be used as an"absorbent, but wood ashes or limeshould not be mixed with the manure,as they are likely to cause the lossof its most valuable fertilizing con-stituent, namely, nitrogen (ammonia).

Poultry manure is more valuablethan the manure of any other commonfarm animal. It is particularly welladapted to gardening, and poultryraisers should either use it on theirown. gardens or dispose of it at agood price, thus increasing theprofits of tho'r flocks. News Letter.

New And Simple Way

To Clean Silverware

Department Of Agriculture Experts

Tell How Tarnish May Be Removed

In Any Kitchen

The Department of Agriculture'sWeekly News Letter gives the fol-

lowing valuable account of a methodfor cleairng silverware that should beof interest to every housewife:

An easy and effective method of('leaning tarnished silverware by boil-ing in a soda and salt solution inconi act with a clean piece of alumin-um or zinc U recommended to house-wives by the department as a resultuf studies made by its specialties inhome economics. The necessaryprocedure is so simple that it may bofollowed successfully in practicallyany home.

The cleaning system known as theelectrolytic method has-be- en wellrecognized for several years.

What the Electrolytic Method Is.The tarnish which occurs on Bilver

is not due to oxidation, but Is depend-eii- l

entirely upon the action of sul-

phur. In most eases the source of thesulphur causing tanv'sh is rubber,wool, foods like eggs, and the sulphurin the air due to burning illuminatinggas and coal. The electrolytic clean-ing method depends on the facts thatthis tarnish of silver suphid is slight-ly soluble in the hot solution employ-ed, nnd that it Is broken down chem-

ically and its silver content redeposit-e- d

on the ware when the properelectrical condlt'ons prevail. Thepresence of both the silver and thealuminium or zinc in the hot solutionprovides the necessary electrical con-

ditions. ' Under this method, there-fore, practically all the silver in thetarnish is returned to the object be-

ing cleaned. When silver polishesare used, on the other hand, all thesilver in combination in the tarnishis removed.

Methods Recommended. iIn the cleaning method recommend-e- r

by the department the necessarymaterials are a graniteware cookinguteniil deep enough to allow the silv-edwa-

to be covered by the solution;a clean piece of aluminum or zinc,preferably the former; and baking orwashing soda. The solution, consist-ing of a teaspooful of baking orwashing soda and a like amount, oftable salt to each quart of water, isbrought to a boll in a graniteware orenameled utensil. A sheet of alumin-um or clean zinc is dropped in. Thetarnished silverware is then immers-ed in the solution so that it is incontact with the sheet of aluminum orzinc. The tarnish should disappear ina few seconds. The silver objectshould then be removed from thesolution, rinsed, and dried with a softcloth.

Aluminum is much more satisfact-ory than zinc for use in this cleaningprocess, since it does not becomecoated with a layer of carbonateswhich would interfere with the chem-

ical reaction. Zinc does "form car-

bonates and, if used, must be cleanedfrequently in dilute hydrochloric acid.A small sheet cf aluminum may bepurchased, especially for silver clean-ing purposes, or a piece of an oldaluminum utensil well cleaned maybe used. Utensils which would laterbe used in cook'ng operations shouldnever be employed in cleaning silver-ware by the eletrolytic method. Ifvery large pieces of silver are to becleaned and a container is requiredlarger than can be placed convenient-ly on the stove, the hot solution maybe poured into such a vessel and thesilver object immersed. The methodis most effective, however, when thesolution boils during the cleaning.recess, and efficiency is rapidly low-

ered as the temperature of the solu-tion fr.lls below the boiling point.

Special Considerations.The electrolytic method gives the

cleaned silver a satiny finish afterseveral cleanings. If a burnished sur-face is desired, the silver must fromtime to time be polished lightly withsome abrasive pol'ahing material suchas powdered whiting. The study madeby the department specialists includ-ed a comparison of the amount ofsilver lost when the whole tarnishwas removed by polishing and vhenthe electrolytic method, was used. Itwas found that when whiting pastewas used as an abrasive, spoons lostnearly 0.01 of a gram of silver each,approximately twenty-fiv- e timeB aBmuch as when the "homemade" elec-trolytic method was employed.

Fruit Fly Quarantine Now

Dars Cooking Bananas

It is reported that the federal ent.omologist in Honolulu has made thediscovery that the Mediterraneanfruit fly occasionally breeds in a var-iety of cooking bananas, and hencecooking bananas are now barred fromthe coast by the quarantine whichapplies to most vegetable products ofthe Islands.

Barglar Robs LiquorHouse Of Coin And Booze

A burglar or burglars broke into thewholesale licjuor house of the a

Wine and Liquor Company,at l'auwela, one night last week andgot away with about $1.50 in changeand several gallons of assorted liqu-ors. Entrance to the place was ef-fected by cutting a hole in a window,apparently by means of a diamond,through which it was possible to In-

sert an arm and unbolt the door. Thepolice are working on the matter, buthave as yet made no arrests.
