The Ingersoll Comedy Company,<br />

the season the Ingersoll Comedy<br />
Company at the playhouse. It has<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 />

Constant applause interrupted the<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 />
Church Of Good<br />

ing In Wailuku To Be Celebrated<br />
Next Sunday<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 />
ate the "Jubilee" of the founding ot<br />
the congregation, and also of the<br />
opening for public worship of its first<br />
church building, will oe neiu in unchurch<br />
of the Good Shepherd on Sunday<br />
morning, at the. usual hour of<br />
worship, 11 o'clock. There will be<br />
special music.<br />
Thn Ttertor and vestry very cordial<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 />
Some seventy-fiv- e enormous As a climax to almost a week of<br />
Christmas celebration in which booze<br />
played a prominent part, Joseph Pu-<br />

spite<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 />

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

' 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 />

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 />
t The store of Sul Yick, near the<br />
bridge in Wainiha, Kauai, was washed<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 />

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 />

Maui Beans In Big<br />

-<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 />

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 />
Gives Christmas Play<br />
On Christmas Day at 5 p. m., the<br />
Sunday School of the Chinese church<br />
gave their entertainment. A beautiful<br />
Christmas tree with gifts of books<br />
oiid candy for everyone present was<br />
arranged under the direction of the<br />
Sunday School Superintendent, Mis.<br />
Mathews. A program of much merit<br />
was presented, as follows:<br />

The training for the play was under<br />
the direction or Mrs. T. H. Linton. The<br />
girls were dressed in red and green<br />
crepe paper costumes, with potnsetta<br />
headdresses, the boys were in red and<br />
white Yama-Yam- a suits and with jolly<br />
Santa Chius and his Katrina, and<br />
Alice in Wonderland, strayed from<br />
home, made a most attractive play.<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 />

Heavy Rains In All<br />
Sections-Litt- le<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 />
