balling coming through the wnll of<br />

the room in which the child was lying<br />

already sold out four houses, and bids<br />

fair to do so again tonight, with the<br />

possibility that, if It does, it will be<br />

continued for a week. "So Long,<br />

Death ComesTo Carpenter<br />

- As Result Of Injuries<br />

Manuel Cabral, a kamaaina<br />

carpenter of Wailuku, died in<br />

Uie Malulanl Hospital about noon last<br />

Saturday, December 23rd, as a result<br />

of injuries he received two months<br />

before in a fall from a scaffold. He<br />

was fifty-tw- o years of age, and is<br />

survived by a wife and several<br />

children.<br />

The accident which resulted in<br />

Cabral's death occured on October<br />

23rd, while he was working on a<br />

house being built for Antone de Rego,<br />

on Main street. The f fl was for a<br />

distance of about seven, 'feet, and the<br />

unfortunate man had bis back badly<br />

injured, besides various other hurts!<br />

forty-fiv- e minutes longer than<br />

the company's productions in the<br />

past, there isn't a slow minute In it,<br />

nor is there a minute when the situation<br />

is not becoming funnier than it<br />

was the minute previous. As a clever<br />

comedy with few plays produced in<br />

the past few seasons to equal it, and<br />

Ingersoll players are doing it full<br />

justice. Adv.<br />

<strong>For</strong>mer Maui Resident<br />

Dies On California Ranch<br />

Henry Nahaolelua, a rmtive Laha<br />

ina. died at his home in Santa Cruz,<br />

California, on December 12, according<br />

to information received last ween,<br />

being by the police on suspicious<br />

of having fired the shot, though he<br />

denies vigorously that he even owns<br />

a firearm. There is no doubt that the<br />

shot was a random one, since no one<br />

firing at the house, even intentionally,<br />

could have had any idea of hitting<br />

anyone within.<br />

A<br />

He was a brother of Albert Kia Nahaolelua,<br />

pressman of the Maui<br />

Publishing Company, and of Mrs. John<br />

C. Lane, wife of Mayor Lane, of Ho<br />

nolulu.<br />

The deceased was about forty-fou- r<br />

years of age and had lived In Call<br />

fornia for some twenty years. He<br />

was a prosperous rancher at Santa<br />

Cruz at the time of his death. A<br />

wife and four daughters survive him.<br />

bullet-pierce- d banana leaf outside<br />

the Gouveia residence enabled Sheriff<br />

Crowell, who investigated the case,<br />

to determine the direction in which<br />

the shot was fired, and this indicates<br />

that it came from a window of the<br />

house occupied by Planesi. At the<br />

of the shooting a party of Porto<br />

Rican merry-maker- s were playing and<br />

singing near the corner of Planesl's<br />

house, but according to the course the<br />

bullet must have taken, they were at<br />

too low an elevation for it to have<br />

come from them.<br />

The case is a peculiarly sad one.<br />

The mother of the dead child was in<br />

another part of the house when one<br />

of her other children ran in saying<br />

that the baby had bloody on its face.<br />

The cries of the frantic mother<br />

brought a crowd of neighbors, but it<br />

was some time before the excited<br />

community could appreciate how the<br />

child had been shot. The fact that<br />

firecrackers were being fired all<br />

through the camp, in celebration of<br />

Christmas, explains why the revolver<br />

shot seems not to have been noticed<br />

by anyone.<br />

Planesi today confessed to Sheriff<br />

Crowell thit he fired the shot. He<br />

was simply celebrating, he said.<br />

On Christmas day of fifty years<br />

ago, that is, in tno year iuo, me<br />

congregation of the Church or tne<br />

Good Shepl erd worshiped for the first<br />

time iji its own church building. That<br />

buildjng now forms part of the pres<br />

ent parish house. <strong>For</strong> many months,<br />

indeed, from the 25th of February, ot<br />

18G6, the congregation had worshiped<br />

under the pastoral leadership of the<br />

Geor.jo Whipple, in a school-hous- e<br />

which stood opposite to the<br />

present Maui hotel, on the site now<br />

occupied by The Maui News and, by<br />

what may Be called "Lawyers' Row."<br />

The anniversary services to ceieDr- -<br />

the congregation, and also of the<br />

opening for public worship of its first<br />

church building, will oe neiu in unchurch<br />

worship, 11 o'clock. There will be<br />

Christmas Service At<br />

Wailuku Union Church<br />

At the Wailuku Union Church last<br />

Sunday ev ning, an unusually beauti<br />

ful Christmas service wbb held, in<br />

spite of the very bad weather<br />

audience gathered. Mlns Mary E.<br />

Hoffmann played old Christmas carols<br />

for the organ recital before the service.<br />

Familiar Christmas hymns were<br />

sung ty tne congregation, wnu<br />

special choir under the direction ot<br />

Mrs. L. C. Jones heautiiuuy renuereu<br />

"While Shepherds Watched their<br />

Flocks by Night" and "Now the Sun<br />

has Sunk to Rest." Mrs. Jones sang<br />

as a solo Adams' "Holy Night." The<br />

senium by Rev. Mr. Dodge the minister<br />

of the church, was upon the<br />

topic "Casting out JVar," which was<br />

listened by most attentively.<br />

Christmas celebration in which booze<br />

played a prominent part, Joseph Pu-<br />

large<br />

sprays<br />

of poinsettia, also bamboo and roses<br />

were used as decorations. The church<br />

was unusually beautiful and was.<br />

by a commit tee of ladies of<br />

the Women's Aid Society. The special<br />

offering was for the Hawaiian<br />

board of Missions.<br />

ten-yea- r old boy was<br />

so badly burned that he died later,<br />

while a murder charge may be lodged<br />

against one or more Hana residents.<br />

The tragedy occured near midnight<br />

on Wednesday, when the small house<br />

of George Hu, near the county stables<br />

in Hana, was burned to the ground.<br />

Punihale, who was asleep in the build- -<br />

ing was incinerated, Hu made his<br />

escape uninjured, but can tell little<br />

about the matter, and his young son<br />

who escaped by jumping through a<br />

with his clothing in a blaze,<br />

was bo badly injured that he died<br />

about one o'clock yesterday afternoon.<br />

Earlier in the eveing the place had<br />

been crowded with revelers who had<br />

been hanging about the place and<br />

drinking since Christmas. The party<br />

broke up about eleven o'clock on account<br />

of a row which started, in<br />

which Punihale is said to have had a<br />

prominent part. All of the crowd left<br />

except Hu and his son and Punihale,<br />

who went to bed.<br />

How the house caught fire is not<br />

known, though from the fact of the<br />

fight, the police are not certain that<br />

it may not have been the worlr of an<br />

incendiary. Sheriff Crowell left this<br />

morning for Hana where he expects to<br />

hold an inquest at which the matter<br />

will be thoroughly investigated.<br />

Puuihale was a luna on the Kaeleku<br />

Sugar Company's plantation. He is<br />

survived by a wife- and three<br />

children. The dead boy was not<br />

thought at first to be badly burned,<br />

but is supposed to have inhaled the<br />

flames through which he ran in escaping<br />

from the house.<br />

At a meeting of the Kahului Kindergarten<br />

Committee held this week at<br />

for the Kahului position. The<br />

Committee felt, that In Miss Hannah<br />

nil unusual opportunity was presented<br />

Lawrence and has had a great deal<br />

of practical experience in actual<br />

practice work n Honolulu.<br />

THE FUTURE NEWSPAPER<br />

EDITOR AND MANAGER<br />

DECEMBER 29, 1916.<br />

The journalism of the next decade zvill be sane, sober and sincere;<br />

sane as opposed to sillv; sober as opposed to sensational; sincere as<br />

opposed to selfish. Then' will be more newspapers for discriminating<br />

readers and fewer catchpenny sheets. The newspaper of tomorrow<br />

will aim to be sound as -- well as to resound; it will be a newspaper of<br />

sense, but not of sensation devoted to service, but not cringing servility.<br />

C.al Herbert O. Gunnison, in Leslie's.<br />

o<br />

SHALL WE SQ1XT OR UE BOSSED?<br />

The Maui News does not think that Honolulu has made<br />

such a success of governing itself as to ask to he allowed to<br />

govern the whole Territory. This is apropos of the demand<br />

raised by The Advertiser that the terms of the Organic Act<br />

respecting the decennial reapportionment of scats in the legislature<br />

be carried out. The News appears to believe that the<br />

law may very well be flouted, because it is not a good law. This<br />

is the attitude taken by the llilo Herald regarding the alleged<br />

es made from the road fund by Road Supervisor<br />

Lyman. The Herald admits that this is against the<br />

law, if shown to be so, but that it ought to be praised and not<br />

condemned, because the law was broken in a good cause. Is<br />

this moral strabismus catchng? Advertiser.<br />

Sure, flout the the law when it is obviously unjust and mischievous.<br />

This thing of the sanctity of the law simply because it happens to be<br />

law is overworked by those whose interests may be served by so doing.<br />

As long as laws are made by men they will be fallible, and a law that<br />

would turn the government of the whole territory over to the little<br />

ring of politicians in Honolulu, certainly is fallacious. If Honolulu<br />

wants the law enforced, let her appeal to the Congress on the matter.<br />

That should bring things to a head. As to this strabismus thing (if its<br />

true we've got it) perhaps the mails from Honolulu haven't been properly<br />

fumigated lately. Squinting has long been chronic in some newspaper<br />

establishments in the capital.<br />

o<br />

DO WE WANT MORE CHINESE?<br />

The plan of the Chinese chamber of commerce to have the Congress<br />

amend the immigration laws so that a limited number of Chinese agricultural<br />

laborers may be brought into Hawaii, is not a new project.<br />

Whatever mav be said in its favor there is small likelihood that it will<br />

succeed. The same interests which were responsible for first raising<br />

the bars against the Chinese, namely organized labor of the Pacific<br />

Coast, will in all probability block the move with all its power. But<br />

even though the mainland offered no objection .would the admission<br />

of more Chinese be the best thins for Hawaii? Would is hasten the<br />

"Americanizinc" of the Islands?<br />

Nor does this argue anything against the Chinese, who have long<br />

since proven their admirable qualities and who today lorm one oi the<br />

verv best elements of our cosmopolitan society. The same objection<br />

would apply to any other nationality, were that nationality already more<br />

dominant than our own. lhe question is one wnicn would look beyond<br />

immediate expediency. There is no question that ?5,000 Chinese laborers<br />

would be most welcome at the present time in all lines of industry<br />

But would the real welfare of the Islands fifty years hence be furthered<br />

or hindered by such an addition ?<br />

Hawaii already has its problems that deserve the best and most<br />

unselfish thought of its citizens, and this is but another of the same<br />

kind. I will bear any amount of study.<br />

o<br />

' MORIS JOLTS FOR KING BOOZE<br />

The theory that a free American citizen has an inalienable right to<br />

rot out his inner tubes with booze it it suits Ins pleasure so to do, gets<br />

a hard iolt every Jime that innocent people have to suffer also. It<br />

doesn't help the liquor interests much to have a bunch of rummies burn<br />

themselves up, as occured this week in liana, particularly when<br />

ten-ye- ar old boy loses his life also; nor are funny stunts like upsetting<br />

poi wagons, caulculated to make the business more popular. Of course<br />

a lot of us free citizens who like our beer or highball and are not given<br />

to doing these kind of things, don't like to be held responsible for those<br />

who do. But more and more of us are reaching the frame of mind<br />

where we will no longer line up with the booze interests in their<br />

fight against prohibition. It is this same attitude on the part of non<br />

abstainers all over the country that bids fair to put the whole United<br />

States on the water wagon in the no distant future.<br />

STAND BACK OF THE PRESIDENT<br />

When two men are engaged in a violent quarrel and a third party<br />

suggests that there may be a way to settle the row, there is nothing<br />

surprising if one or both of the scrappers waxes sarcastic. Nor is the<br />

reception of President Wilson's note by the Entente powers and by a<br />

part of the Teuton press anything not to be expected. Men and nations<br />

alike may be blinded to actualities by their proximity, and be unconscious<br />

of the fact. It does not follow that President Wilson has not<br />

taken an altogether proper course when he suggested to the warring<br />

forces of Europe that the pause long enough to outline what each<br />

believes it is fighting for and what it would be satisfied with as a basis o<br />

peace. While it may be too early to expect the war to end, the<br />

President's question, by directing thought toward peace and to the<br />

means of attaining it, may aid toward the all-to-- desired result. In<br />

any event it can do no harm, nor has it injured the dignity of America<br />

The only surprising thing is that some presumably American citizens<br />

should find in the President's action a cause for sneer and jeering. This<br />

would seem to be one instance at least, where every American could<br />

whole-hearted- ly endorse the idea which is in the interests of humanity<br />

and which must accord in large measure with American opinion.<br />

<strong>For</strong>estry Service Shows Development<br />

Of Industry In All Tarts Of Country-<br />

Over-Development In West<br />

Washington, December ??? In the<br />

fiscal year 1916, says Henry S. Graves,<br />

Ch'ef of the <strong>For</strong>est Service, in his annual<br />

report, twenty new water power<br />

project which utilize National <strong>For</strong>est<br />

land began operation. This was an<br />

increase of 18 V6 percent in the total<br />

number. In the fiscal year 1915 the<br />

number of new projects which began<br />

operation was twelve. <strong>For</strong>ty-tw- o percent<br />

of the total developed water<br />

power of the United States utilize<br />

National <strong>For</strong>est land, the <strong>For</strong>est Service<br />

figures show.<br />

Development of relatively small<br />

projects Is particularly in evidence,<br />

according to Mr. Graves, in the Rocky<br />

Mountain States. California leads in<br />

the amount of power under permit<br />

and In operation. The number of<br />

transmission line permits In effect<br />

was increased by thirteen during the<br />

year. The forty applications for<br />

power-proje- permits received in<br />

1916 included eight from Alaska a<br />

notable evidence .according to the report,<br />

of Increased local interest in<br />

power development on. National <strong>For</strong>est<br />

lands there.<br />

Concerning the report prepared by<br />

the <strong>For</strong>est Service in response to a<br />

resolution of the Senate calling upon<br />

the Secretary of Agriculture for<br />

regarding the ownership<br />

and control of water power sites and<br />

any facts bearing on the question as<br />

to the question as to the existence<br />

of a monopoly In the ownership and<br />

control of hydroelectric power In the<br />

United States, Mr. Graves says: "This<br />

report presented In far greater detail<br />

than has ever been attempted before<br />

an exhaustive analysis of the general<br />

power situation. It showed a marked<br />

concentration of definite and complete<br />

control of a large percentage of<br />

developed water power by a very few<br />

companies. Data presented regarding<br />

Interrelationships through common<br />

directors and principal officers Indicated<br />

a marked tendency toward association<br />

or community of interests,<br />

particularly between the principal<br />

holding companies. The movement<br />

toward concentration in commercial<br />

central stations of all the primary<br />

power employed In the electrical industries<br />

and in manufactures was<br />

found In all sections of the United<br />

I OUR ISLAND CONTEMPORARIES f<br />

THE "CTOCKTON PLAN"<br />

AND HONOLULU<br />

Response to the suggestion i,n this<br />

paper yesterday that Honolulu should<br />

WHERE THE SHOE PINCHES<br />

The volutuous plantation bonus is<br />

demoalizing labor generally, in the<br />

District, and hitting some of the smaller<br />

employers of labor on the point of<br />

chin. If the sugar magnates had deliberately<br />

planned to bankrupt every<br />

other industry in the islands they<br />

couldn't have hit the nail squarer on<br />

the head. Of course, in the cities and<br />

towns the Itch for sudden wealth by<br />

".he bonus route doesn't probably work<br />

is great hardship as in a country<br />

listrict like Kohala. Every cook,<br />

yard man etc., has a brother, or<br />

cousin, or aikane (best friend) who<br />

has drawn a 60 per cent bonus, and<br />

instantly he sees the glittering gold<br />

pieces, his own steady pay looks like<br />

copper cents, and he makes a raid on<br />

his employer, couched something like<br />

this "Boss, me speak I like bonus alio<br />

same." And they expect back-monefor<br />

the whole of last year. Kohala<br />

Midget.<br />

-<br />

..It is announced from Honolulu that<br />

the bonus system of 1916 will be continued<br />

by the sugar plantations<br />

through 1917. We believe it to be a<br />

mistake to hold this bonus and pay<br />

out at one clip. Let it be paid by the<br />

month. The laborers will be better<br />

satisfied and they will realize more<br />

of value from the money. The 1916<br />

plan of filling the pockets of the laborers<br />

with money in a day has had a<br />

demoralizing effect, and should not<br />

be repeated. Garden Island.<br />

Invite California hlph schools to s;nd<br />

n-- teams here year or in 1017 as<br />

Stockton '.lijtj school has done, vinies<br />

with gratify.n? emphasis and unanimity?<br />

The Stockton boys in their brief<br />

stay here have made a fine impression<br />

of young manhood. They are pood<br />

students and good sportsmen. They<br />

won their trip by scholarship and athletic<br />

ability, with scholarship the first<br />

emphasis.<br />

Other high schools of the stafe will<br />

undoubtedly be glad to Bend teams<br />

here as Stocks!? has done. It is a<br />

good th'ng for the boys and for the<br />

schools, and for Honolulu. To get<br />

the best results from such visits next<br />

year or the year after, it would be<br />

wise to have the coast lads here all<br />

at the same time with a big inter-scholasti- c<br />

track and field meet a<br />

swimming tournament, an entertainment<br />

and perhaps other features,<br />

heartily supported by the local<br />

schools, the city and the commercial<br />

nrgan'zation.<br />

The possibilities along this line are<br />

almost limitless. It is suggested for<br />

instance, that, the biggest interschol-asti- c<br />

track meet ever held could be<br />

staged In Honolulu, through invitations<br />

to 200 or more high schools in<br />

the United States, each being asked<br />

to send six men here. This feature<br />

is discussed fully by the sporting editor<br />

of the Star-Bulleti- n WHAT DOES IT MEAN?<br />

It is rather amusing to hear the<br />

concern affected by some over the<br />

near possibility of a substantial American-Japanese<br />

vote in these Islands<br />

and at the same time note the absolute<br />

unconcern paid to the fact that<br />

very soon there may be a bigger<br />

Filipino vote here than that of the<br />

Japanese, Chinese and Portuguese<br />

combined. The prospective Japanese<br />

voters are American in birth, education<br />

and interest; the Filipinos are<br />

assisted imm'grants, poorly educated<br />

and with a criminal record here that<br />

is appalling. On Maui, during the past<br />

two weeks, one hundred and twenty<br />

Filipinos applied for their first naturalization<br />

papers, and here are four<br />

on the sports hundred others on the Valley Isle<br />

page today.<br />

preparing to apply for their first<br />

Even if only the California schools papers this week, a total of 530! The<br />

be included, the possibilities for all total Maui Vote last month nvhs 2872.<br />

' Hawaii are enormous. The publicity Advertiser.<br />

that would result from such a plan of<br />

bringing high school groups here If the Japanese plantation laborers<br />

would be remarkable. Mr. Amos El- are sending some of their bonus moliott,<br />

who is in charge of the Stockton ney to their home country, what<br />

visitors, proposes another feature well about it? Are the Japanese the only<br />

worth attention. . It Is that each al- people who send their surplus cash<br />

ternate year Hawaii should send a either to their relatives in the old<br />

team to California. This scheme country or for investment there? The<br />

could be worked out in conjunction laborers don't, at any rate, send their<br />

with that to bring here a large number money for investment on the main-<br />

of high school boys.<br />

land in wild cat mining and oil stock,<br />

Stockton has shown the way. Stock- as do a large number of other naton's<br />

school authorities, public officitionalities. It is their money and they<br />

als, businessmen, backed the trip, surely can do what they like with it.<br />

realizing that both in preparation for Hawaii Herald.<br />

it and in its actual enjoyment the Idea<br />

Is inspirational, educational.<br />

Honolulu should lose no time in<br />

deciding to Invite the high schools of Big New Matson Liner<br />

California or of the whole couutry<br />

If, upon consideration, that seems Is Successfully Launched<br />

feasible to carry out the "Stockton<br />

Star-Bulleti-<br />

plan" In 1917 or 1918.<br />

The new Matson liner "Maui" was<br />

launched last Saturday morning at<br />

the yards of the Union Iron Works,<br />

San Francisco, in the presence of a<br />

big crowd, according to advices received<br />

here. The launching was in<br />

every way a success. Mrs. Wm.<br />

Matson was sponsor for the big craft,<br />

which will make her first run to the<br />

Islands in March. It is understood<br />

that already a large part of the passenger<br />

accommodations have been reserved<br />

for the maiden voyage. Among<br />

those to come will be Chas. M.<br />

Schwab, the steel magnate, who is<br />

coming for a vacation to the Islands.<br />

THE MAUI NEWS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1916.<br />

AT THE THEATERS<br />

"Davy Crockett"<br />

The stoiy of the great frontier Indian<br />

fighter who loved as he fought<br />

with all his might and won what<br />

hn sought In spite of all obstacles,<br />

even the (laughter of his aristocratic<br />

neighbor, Col. Vaughn.<br />

Across a rugged barkground of<br />

frontier life Is woven this sweetest<br />

love story of Stalwart Davy Crockett<br />

and dainty Eleanor Vaughn. She<br />

(lances beside him when he visits<br />

his traps, learns from him the art of<br />

woodcraft, and in turn reads to him<br />

masterpieces of literature, particularly<br />

his favorite hero, I.ochinvnr.<br />

Eleanor goes to England to bo educated;<br />

returning, her father d'es at<br />

sea. His vast estate is under the<br />

control of Col. Royston, who through<br />

a weakness for gambling, has committed<br />

forgery and involved the<br />

Vaughn estate to Oscar Crampton, a<br />

professional gambler. To save himself<br />

Royston is pledged to accomplish<br />

the marriage of Eleanor to Oscar<br />

Crampton's nephew, Neil.<br />

Eleanor walks blindly into the net<br />

and Davy looks on sore at heart.<br />

Eleanor's awakening begins when she<br />

is lost in the mountains wilh Nell,<br />

and snowbound in a deserted cabin.<br />

Davy discovers them, and while Nell<br />

shows a craven sprit of fear, Davy<br />

thrusts his arm through the cleats<br />

!n the door and holds it all night<br />

against the onslaught of a pack of<br />

wolves.<br />

The grand finale comes when Davy<br />

emulates his hero, Loehinvar, and<br />

carries Eleanor away from the altar, a<br />

willing captive.<br />

Never has Dustin Farnum had a<br />

better role, and never has he risen<br />

to more splendid heights in its portrayal.<br />

"The Smugglers"<br />

Donald Brian, the popular stage<br />

favorite, returns to the screen under<br />

auspicious as well as thoroughly<br />

amusing circumstances in the Famous<br />

Tlayers Film Company's comedy<br />

production, "The Smugglers." The<br />

The laughable series of comic tragedies<br />

which results from the attempt<br />

of John Iiattleby Watts, who has made<br />

millions by converting hay into breakfast<br />

food, to recover his wife's $20,-00- 0<br />

pearls which he has carelessly<br />

lost, and for which he has substituted<br />

bogus pearls, is presented with<br />

much humor and many thrills. The<br />

culmination of Watt's trials<br />

at the Customs House, when he attempts<br />

to smuggle in the bogus pearls<br />

in order to avoid the exposure which<br />

would result from his declaring them<br />

at their supposed $20,000 valuation.<br />

In spite of his efforts, however, the<br />

indignant Mrs. Watts learns of the<br />

substitution of her pearls. In the following<br />

scene Watts learns that the<br />

belief that "pearls are made of tears"<br />

is composed of more truth than imagination.<br />

"The Serpent"<br />

Theda Bara is at her best as Vania<br />

Lazar, a beauliful Russian peasant<br />

girl. Betrayed and debauched by the<br />

Grand Duke Valonoff, she leaves the<br />

country and with naught but hate in<br />

her heart for all men deliberately sets<br />

forth on a career of devastation. High<br />

or low degree, it matters naught, her<br />

prey is man, and In the city in which<br />

she has taken up her abode, she<br />

leaves a trail marked by ruined lives.<br />

The war has broken out, wounded<br />

soldiers are arriving from the front,<br />

and "The Serpent" watches in glee<br />

as the broken men file past her<br />

window. A Russian officer is carried<br />

She makes inquiry and discovers that<br />

the wounded officer is Prince Valonoff,<br />

son of the Grand Duke. She<br />

helps nurse him back to health and<br />

he, too, falls victim to her charms.<br />

Shortly after their marriage the<br />

Grand Duke sends word that he is<br />

coming to visit his beloved and only<br />

son. The Prince is called away before<br />

his father's arrival. Vania greets<br />

the Grand Duke, who does not recognize<br />

her. He makes love to her after<br />

she has lured him on.<br />

The Prince returns, and finding his<br />

wife clasped in the arms of his own<br />

father, commits suicide. The last<br />

drop of venom from the "The<br />

Serpent's" fangs has found its mark.<br />

"Britton of the Seventh"<br />

"Briton of the Seventh," Vitagraph<br />

Blue Ribbon Feature, employs the<br />

services of the famous 11th Cavalry,<br />

known for their valor in all campaigns,<br />

and now engaged in the Villa<br />

hunt in the wilds of Mexica. This<br />

feature was written by Cyrus Town-sen- d<br />

Brady and is a gripping military<br />

drama. Lieutenant Britton of the<br />

Seventh sent with his command to<br />

arrest an Indian chief wanted for the<br />

massacre of two white men, members<br />

of the Seventh Cavalry. Britton brings<br />

back the murder and jails him and<br />

started one of the prime causes of<br />

the Custer massacre, all of which is<br />

vividly pictured in this feature.<br />

CORPORATIONS MUST PAY FINES<br />

<strong>For</strong> not taking their annual exhibits<br />

and paying the $10 fee required, forty<br />

Incorporated firms in the territory<br />

were on Tuesday fined $100 each in<br />

a Honolulu magistrate's court. Some<br />

of the firms are no longer in business<br />

but had failed to disiimwifiorate, and<br />

hence the shareholders are responsible<br />

for the fine. Two Maui corpora<br />

Marketing Division Advised Against<br />

Selling Below 5 Cents Egg Sup-<br />

ply Increasing Prices Dropping<br />

The price of Inland eggs ranees<br />

from 55 to GFic, but the price nt which<br />

eggs are being sold in the market is<br />

about 60e. In spite of the bad weather,<br />

the local supply of eggs seems to<br />

be Increasing.<br />

The Division has been able to sell<br />

l."00 bags of Maui Red Deans in San<br />

Francisco for ?o.S5 a bag. If these<br />

beans are shipped direct from<br />

Kahu-lul- .<br />

they will net the producer at least,<br />

?5.00 In Kula. Farmers having beans<br />

for sale should not sell to speculators<br />

for a cent l":'s than $5.00. and if he is<br />

putting his beans in new bags, he<br />

should get $5.20 in Kula. The beans<br />

lor shipment to San Francisco should<br />

be first cleaned, and free from all dirt.<br />

Make all shipments in new bags. Now<br />

that, there is a market for ' Island<br />

beans on the Coast, the price has<br />

been advanced in Honolulu to $5.80<br />

and $6.00 in order to net the producer<br />

as much as if they were shippin:- o<br />

the Coast. Pry Peas are also '<br />

ing very good prices, and probal all<br />

that are raised on Maul can In . imposed<br />

cf in Honolulu. There is also<br />

a good demand for Calico beans in<br />

Honolulu, but there is no market for<br />

these on the Coast.<br />

Due to the oversight the price of<br />

Limes was not changed on the quotation<br />

sheet. The market is now flooded<br />

with limes and the price has now<br />

dropped to tine to $l.l"l.<br />

Due to the bad weather ,'t has<br />

been hard to get large pineapples in<br />

from the country, and the few that are<br />

on hand are small.<br />

Roselle seem to be selling a little<br />

better, but the demand still far bplow<br />

the supply.<br />

Hides are bring record prices, and<br />

today jumped to 19 Vic. Feed prices<br />

are still going up.<br />

Island beef is rather scarce, and<br />

contracts made for the next three<br />

months have advanced the price<br />

slightly.<br />

Poultry Manure Has<br />

High Value On Farm<br />

Often Over<br />

looked By Poultry Raisers Some<br />

Figures<br />

The manure produced is a .valuable<br />

of poultry raising. It is<br />

estimated that the average night<br />

droppings of a hen amount to 30 to<br />

40 pounds per year. This represents<br />

the manure which can certainly be<br />

saved with the exercise of a little<br />

care. A conservative estimate indicates<br />

that this manure contains fertilizing<br />

constituents which would cost<br />

20 to 25 cents if bought in the form of<br />

commercial fertilizers at ordinary<br />

prices. A flock of 100 hens would at<br />

this rate produce manure worth $20<br />

to $25 per year. If, however, the man-<br />

ure is not properly cared for, as much<br />

as one-hal- f of Its fertilizing value is<br />

likely to be lost. To prevent loss,<br />

free,uent cleaning of the dropping<br />

boards is necessary, and some sort of<br />

absorbent should be used daily.<br />

Sifted coal ashes may be used as an<br />

"absorbent, but wood ashes or lime<br />

should not be mixed with the manure,<br />

as they are likely to cause the loss<br />

of its most valuable fertilizing constituent,<br />

namely, nitrogen (ammonia).<br />

Poultry manure is more valuable<br />

than the manure of any other common<br />

farm animal. It is particularly well<br />

adapted to gardening, and poultry<br />

raisers should either use it on their<br />

own. gardens or dispose of it at a<br />

good price, thus increasing the<br />

profits of tho'r flocks. News Letter.<br />

Fine Celebration By<br />

Union Sunday School<br />

Wailuku Town Hall was the scene<br />

of a very merry time on Friday night<br />

last week, when the Wailuku. Union<br />

Sunday, School held its interesting<br />

Christmas exercise. The tree, which<br />

was a very large one, was placed on<br />

the stage. It was beautifully decorated<br />

The presents for the children<br />

were piled on a table at one side.<br />

Chas. K. Rose took the part of Santa<br />

Clans and distributed the presents.<br />

Before the tree was displayed the<br />

ch'ldren of the school sang several<br />

son?s. Mr. Helen Mar Linton read<br />

a pretty Christmas story. Rev. R. B.<br />

Dodge, the minister of the church, offered<br />

prayer. Just before the appearance<br />

of Santa Clans, the children joined<br />

heartily in games.<br />

Before the evening closed ice cream<br />

and cake were served to all. Iri spite<br />

of the bad weather practically all the<br />

ch'ldren were present.<br />

The arrangement of the tree and<br />

decorations of the hall were in the<br />

hands of special committee of the<br />

Women's Aid Society and the Sunday<br />

School. Those who assisted were Miss<br />

Gertrude B. Judd, the superintendent<br />

of the school. L. R. Mathews and Miss<br />

June Mitchell among the teachers,<br />

and from the Women's Aid Society<br />

by Mrs. W. II. Engle and Miss Elizabeth<br />

A. Cramer.<br />

Concent rated cider, which keeps<br />

New And Simple Way<br />

To Clean Silverware<br />

Department Of Agriculture Experts<br />

Tell How Tarnish May Be Removed<br />

In Any Kitchen<br />

The Department of Agriculture's<br />

Weekly News Letter gives the following<br />

valuable account of a method<br />

for cleairng silverware that should be<br />

of interest to every housewife:<br />

An easy and effective method of<br />

('leaning tarnished silverware by boiling<br />

in a soda and salt solution in<br />

coni act with a clean piece of aluminum<br />

or zinc U recommended to housewives<br />

by the department as a result<br />

uf studies made by its specialties in<br />

home economics. The necessary<br />

procedure is so simple that it may bo<br />

followed successfully in practically<br />

any home.<br />

The cleaning system known as the<br />

electrolytic method has-be- en well<br />

recognized for several years.<br />

What the Electrolytic Method Is.<br />

The tarnish which occurs on Bilver<br />

is not due to oxidation, but Is depend-eii- l<br />

entirely upon the action of sulphur.<br />

In most eases the source of the<br />

sulphur causing tanv'sh is rubber,<br />

wool, foods like eggs, and the sulphur<br />

in the air due to burning illuminating<br />

gas and coal. The electrolytic cleaning<br />

method depends on the facts that<br />

this tarnish of silver suphid is slightly<br />

soluble in the hot solution employed,<br />

nnd that it Is broken down chemically<br />

and its silver content redeposit-e- d<br />

on the ware when the proper<br />

electrical condlt'ons prevail. The<br />

presence of both the silver and the<br />

aluminium or zinc in the hot solution<br />

provides the necessary electrical conditions.<br />

' Under this method, therefore,<br />

practically all the silver in the<br />

tarnish is returned to the object being<br />

cleaned. When silver polishes<br />

are used, on the other hand, all the<br />

silver in combination in the tarnish<br />

is removed.<br />

Methods Recommended. i<br />

In the cleaning method recommend-e- r<br />

by the department the necessary<br />

materials are a graniteware cooking<br />

uteniil deep enough to allow the silv-edwato<br />

be covered by the solution;<br />

a clean piece of aluminum or zinc,<br />

preferably the former; and baking or<br />

washing soda. The solution, consisting<br />

of a teaspooful of baking or<br />

washing soda and a like amount, of<br />

table salt to each quart of water, is<br />

brought to a boll in a graniteware or<br />

enameled utensil. A sheet of aluminum<br />

or clean zinc is dropped in. The<br />

tarnished silverware is then immersed<br />

in the solution so that it is in<br />

contact with the sheet of aluminum or<br />

zinc. The tarnish should disappear in<br />

a few seconds. The silver object<br />

should then be removed from the<br />

solution, rinsed, and dried with a soft<br />

cloth.<br />

Aluminum is much more satisfactory<br />

than zinc for use in this cleaning<br />

process, since it does not become<br />

coated with a layer of carbonates<br />

which would interfere with the chemical<br />

reaction. Zinc does "form carbonates<br />

and, if used, must be cleaned<br />

frequently in dilute hydrochloric acid.<br />

A small sheet cf aluminum may be<br />

purchased, especially for silver cleaning<br />

purposes, or a piece of an old<br />

aluminum utensil well cleaned may<br />

be used. Utensils which would later<br />

be used in cook'ng operations should<br />

never be employed in cleaning silverware<br />

by the eletrolytic method. If<br />

very large pieces of silver are to be<br />

cleaned and a container is required<br />

larger than can be placed conveniently<br />

on the stove, the hot solution may<br />

be poured into such a vessel and the<br />

silver object immersed. The method<br />

is most effective, however, when the<br />

solution boils during the cleaning<br />

.recess, and efficiency is rapidly lowered<br />

as the temperature of the solution<br />

fr.lls below the boiling point.<br />

Special Considerations.<br />

The electrolytic method gives the<br />

cleaned silver a satiny finish after<br />

several cleanings. If a burnished surface<br />

is desired, the silver must from<br />

time to time be polished lightly with<br />

some abrasive pol'ahing material such<br />

as powdered whiting. The study made<br />

by the department specialists included<br />

a comparison of the amount of<br />

silver lost when the whole tarnish<br />

was removed by polishing and vhen<br />

the electrolytic method, was used. It<br />

was found that when whiting paste<br />

was used as an abrasive, spoons lost<br />

nearly 0.01 of a gram of silver each,<br />

approximately twenty-fiv- e timeB aB<br />

much as when the "homemade" electrolytic<br />

method was employed.<br />

Fruit Fly Quarantine Now<br />

Dars Cooking Bananas<br />

It is reported that the federal ent.<br />

omologist in Honolulu has made the<br />

discovery that the Mediterranean<br />

fruit fly occasionally breeds in a variety<br />

of cooking bananas, and hence<br />

cooking bananas are now barred from<br />

the coast by the quarantine which<br />

applies to most vegetable products of<br />

the Islands.<br />

Barglar Robs Liquor<br />

House Of Coin And Booze<br />

A burglar or burglars broke into the<br />

wholesale licjuor house of the a<br />

Wine and Liquor Company,<br />

at l'auwela, one night last week and<br />

got away with about $1.50 in change<br />

and several gallons of assorted liquors.<br />

Entrance to the place was effected<br />

by cutting a hole in a window,<br />

apparently by means of a diamond,<br />

through which it was possible to Insert<br />

an arm and unbolt the door. The<br />

police are working on the matter, but<br />

have as yet made no arrests.<br />

Christmas Exercises At<br />

Waikapu Very Pleasing<br />

At Waikapu the Christmas celebration<br />

this year was especially enjoyable.<br />

On Saturday evening under tlie<br />

supervision of Mrs. Frank L. Hoogs,<br />

a beautiful tree had been prepared<br />

for the Sunday School and the people<br />

of Waikapu. The exercise consisted<br />

of songs and recitations and- - were<br />

very well rendered.<br />

L. R. Mathews of Wailuku made an<br />

excellent Santa Claus, who distributed<br />

presents to nil the Sunday School<br />

pupils and then to the visitors. Large<br />

red apples, oranges, bags of candy<br />

and horse were g!ven out freely.<br />

Several Honolulu friends helped to<br />

make this celebration, which was the<br />

first for years, n great success.<br />

On Sunday the Central Maull Hawaiian<br />

Churches joined in a Sunday<br />

School and Christian Endeavor celebration,<br />

that was unique and interesting<br />

In spite of very bad weather a<br />

large number of people attended, and<br />

nil thoroughly enjoyed the excellent<br />

exercises.<br />

Chinese Sunday School<br />

The young Chinese people displayed<br />

no little dramatic talent.<br />

PAIA UNION CHURCH SUNDAY<br />

SCHOOL EXERCISES DELIGHTFUL<br />

The Christmas exercises of the Paia<br />

Union Church Sunday school were<br />

held at the Community House last<br />

Friday afternoon, and were unusually<br />

delightful to the 200 Children of the<br />

school. The program was filled with<br />

many novel things, besides the beautiful<br />

tree from which Santa Claus<br />

distributed gifts to all. The success<br />

of the affair was largely due to the<br />

efforts of the members of the Ladies'<br />

Aid Society of the church.<br />

Damage<br />

No damage has been reported from<br />

the heavy raiUBiwhich feel in most<br />

of Maui on last Saturday, Sunday and<br />

Monday, though some inconvenience<br />

resulted. Saturday's rain was so sudden<br />

and heavy throughout central<br />

Maui that the main road west of Paia<br />

was flooded so deeply that automobiles<br />

wore unable to negotiate it until<br />

late in the afternoon. A number of<br />

machines which tried to go through<br />

were stuck, owing to the water being<br />

over carburetors or magnetoes.<br />

Good rains are reported from Lnha-In- a<br />

and other parts of west Maul. The<br />

roads through most of the Makawao<br />

district are in bad condition on account<br />

of mud.<br />
