Fycst riesorvo, Kauai:Mr. President and Gentlemen:

We, your special committee appoint,cd for tho purposo of looking Into thesites at present available, and rccommending a working plan, to bo followed up, In sotting Into operation a summer camp In the mountains of thoNapall-Kon- a forest reserve, at thohead of tho Waimea Canon, beg leaveto report as follows:

The Committee Visitsthe Region.In order to familiarize ourselves

moro thoroughly with the lav of tholand, and other natural conditions, wevisited tho locality, and spent ononight there, and during the followingday visited every lot offered to thepublic, by tho Forest Department. Wewero accompanied by Mr. Hardy, theGovernment Forest Hanger, on thotrip.

Wo approvo of tho manner in whichtho lots wero laid out, adjoining thostreams, and recommend them to allwho prefer camp sites in the Halo- -

manu-Kok- c section, and can afford tolive up to tho requirements as setforth in the permit agreements, asissued by tho Department in charge.

SucjgestModifications.Wo believe that theso permits

nhould be modified In some respects,and make tho following recommenda-tions:

First: An annual rental of $10 purncro.

Second: That tho clnuso requiring01 $500 bond be striolcin out.

Third That a clause giving a uu-an- t

of the proposed penult.The Puu LuaRegion.After visiting tho lots in the differ-

ent localities, that are open for select-ion, in tho vicinity of Koko and Hale-man-

we spent the remainder of ourtime in prospecting for suitablo ad.ditional camping grounds for those ofthe Public who prefer sites furthermakai, in tho moro open country, andin the vicinity of Puulua, and Puu KaPelo, at an elevation of about 3500

f.'eet, and adjoining tho western browof tho Waimea Canyon, and tho moun-tains beyond, on tho other hand thoocean with Nllhau in tho distance,and all around beautiful mountainscenery is spread out. Tho breeze iscool and invigorating, This countryis 12 miles from tho macadam road.Tho rainfall over a period of five yearsshows the following averages:

April 3 Ms inches, May 2 inches,Juno 2 inches, July and August 2-- 3 ofan inch.

Tho members of your committee areall more or less familiar with the man-ner in which tho general public isprovided for in tho National and Statoparks in tho western and-nort- west-or- n

States. There aro to bo foundaccommodations, and camping privi-leges to fit tho pocket book of allcomers. Wo seo an urgent need ofjust such, accommodations, and privi-leges in tho development of a popularsummer resort, In tho mountains ofour Island.

For Transient and WeekEnd Visitors.A building or group of buildings is

necessary for tho accommodation of$ thoso who wish to go up from time tot time, to spend tho night, tho week

end, or a fow days, paying reason-able rates for tho accommodationreceived. Such a public placo wouldalso serve visitors from tho other Is-

lands, from tho Mainland, and as, aplaco for all who may

bo camping In tho reserve. Wo o

a suitablo set of buildings couldbe erected, furnished, and put intooperation, by public subscription, andthat it would pay its way. and crowwith tho demand, after onco being8'ven a start. As a location for such

Completion Of Our

W. S. S. Quota

To the People of Hawaii :

The people of our territory arenow engaged in an cflort to selllite quota of war savings stampsallotted to us, but are yet tarshort of raising the full amount.

Up to the present Hawaii hasnever fallen down on anythingwhich she has set out to do and I

hope she will do her full share intins work.

The total amount could he easilv raised if the wealthy were allowed to purchase all the stampsthat they wished to buy, but thegovernment besides taking thismethod of raising funds has alsoendeavored to have the war educate our people in the matter ofthrift and economy.

It is a well know fact thatthe American people are themost extravagant of any peopleon earth and if this war willteach the lesson of thrift it willbe a great thing for our people.

The French people in this warhave astonished the world bytheir thrift and endurance, but inthis the world should not havebeen surprised. They should nothave been surprised at anythingthat the L vouch people havedone. La v showed the world ui1S71 (lie material of whichthey wore made. At that timeBismarck, iu order to ruin thorndemanded an indemnity of a billion, dollars, believing that thepayment of this vast sum wouldput such a burden on them thatthey would never be able to recover. Hut the French peoplewho did not patronize the hanksdug up their savings which theyhad stored away in hiding placeswith the result that the indemnity was paid almost immediate- -

The time may come when ourcountry may need the assistanceol our people, and it would be ahue thing if we, through thrift,were able to '"come through" asdid the French people in leu.

CHAMBER OF

ALERT

Tho regular December meeting ofthe Kauai Chamber of Commerce washeld at the Waimea Court IIouso onThursday, with President Brandt Inthe chair.

After reading tho minutes of thotwo last meetings the secretary gavea synopsis of the correspondence, tosave time, but read in full tho letterfrom tho Llhuo Plantation in regardto tho public uso of tho Ahuklnl land-ing.

Promotion CommitteeMember.The President called attention to

ono matter that seemed to need im-

mediate action, viz: tho appointmentof tho Kauai member of tho Promot-ion Committee. Mr. Wm. Henry Ricohad been consulted, and ho had expressed his willingness to. continue toact in that capacity. He had givengood satisfaction and it seemed byall means advisable to reappoint him.Accordingly a resolution to that effectwould be in order.

Mr. Broadbent so moved, and thomotion was duly carried.

Mr. Lydgate reported for his committee in regard to tho inadvisabletransfer of Liberty Bonds that thocommittee had conducted a publicitycampaign through tho press, and bymeans of lantern slide notices in themoving picture shows, and postersthrough tho camps.

Unwise Alienation ofLiberty Bonds.Mr. Brandt said that In this connoc.

tlon Bishop's Bank, and probably thoother banks, stood ready to pay thoregular market price for LibertyBonds, viz: from $47 to $48.50, tosuch holders as found themselvesabsolutely unablo to carry them, andhe was making this publicly knownin order that ignorant holders mightnot bo gulled into parting with themat a ridiculous sacrifice as was frequently tho case. "For instance, aChinaman came into tho bank theother day with a $50 bond and wantedto realize on It. I asked him whereho got it. Ho said from a Filipino."For how much?" "For 535." "Go andget tho Filipino and bring him here."Ho did so; then I said, "That bond Isworth $48.50. I will glvo you tho $35that you paid tho Filipino, and I willglvo him tho balance, $13.50," whichI did."

Mr. Broadbent thought It would bewell to take this matter up with thebanks, and glvo publicity to tho factthat they stood ready to pay tho fullmarket value for them.

Mr. Mahlum suggested that thisshould be done discreetly, and withemphasis on the fact that tho bankswero not looking for the business andwould tako over tho bonds only whentho holders were unable to carry themany longer. Otherwlso a good manypeoplo would realize on them unneces-sarily, whereas It was desirablo, forevery reason, to havo people keeptheir holdings.

Cane Growers'Contracts.Mr. Broadbent reported for tho cane

growing contracts committeo in thoabsence of "Mr. Cheatham. Ho

that, In response to a lottorfrom tho secretary of tho Chamber,tho governor had admitted that thocontract between tho Waiakea MillCompany and tho Government hadbeen signed before the deputationfrom tho Chamber had called uponhim. Tho governor also admitted thatho had made a mistake in approvingthis contract in vlow or tho faco thattho peoplo most Interested, viz: thoWalakoa homesteaders, did not knowtho provisions of tho same. Hothought, howover, that tho governorhimself, was perfectly straight andabove board in the matter, but ho wasafraid tho same could not bo said fortho land commissioner and tho attorney general.

Waiakea DemandsEminently Fair.Tho governor Intimates in his letter

that tho demands of tho homesteadersare some of them reasonable and somenot. In this respect ho certainlycould not agree with the governor.Their demands seemed to him decided-ly modest, and entirely reasonable.Their main contention was for a 0

division of tho sugar which was nowtho basis of all fair contracts. "Indeedthis Is less favorable than somo of thocontracts, and thoy might havo de

MM E

AND ACTIVE

manded moro and still not been ex-

treme."On request, tho secretary read the

governor's letter, and tho synopsis ofchanges In tho Waiakea contract pro-posed by tho homesteaders. It waspointed out that some of their con-tentions wero suited to Waiakea andwould not apply to Kauai, but the intho main their demands wero right.What was needed was a standardform of contract covering tho mainissues, leaving minor matters to bemodified according to local conditions.

Thero should be, on each Island, orIn each cano growing district, a plant.ers' association, or somo similar or-ganization, which could speak author-itatively for the planters and throuchWhich they could command respectand secure fair treatment.

Value of OurEfforts.

The efforts of tho cano growing con-tract committeo had been of tho ut-most value In that it was evident thatit It had not been for their timelyaction, tho original contract, whichhits now been abandoned, would havobeen carried through, with much det-riment to the AVaiakea homesteaders,and to the wTiole causo of homestead-Irlg- .

Tho report was accepted and thocommittee continued.

The Napall-Kon- a

Summer Camps.Mr. H. H. Brodlc, of the parks com-

mittee, read a very carefully preparedreport on the Puu Ka Pelo-Kokc- o

camp site proposition which is pub-lished herewith in another column.

Mr. Lydgate moved that the reportof tho committeo bo received and ap-

proved with an appreciative recog-nition of the interest thoy had shownin tho matter and tho timo and at-tention thoy had given it. Carried.

Definite ActionTaken.Mr. Lydgate also moved that steps

be taken by tho chamber to carry outtho plans outlined by tho committeo;and that to this end tho committeo boauthorized to confer with tho Knud-se- n

interests with a view to securinga suitablo site for a public camp; andto mako up moro detailed plans, andestimates of cost to bo placed beforothe chamber at tho next meeting.Carried.

Referring to proposed tentative plan,Mr. Brodio thought that four acreswas far too small. It would bo themost popular placo on Kauai; every-body would want to go up thoro, andpeoplo would como from Honolulu,droves of them; In no time it wouldoutrun any four acre limit.

In response it was pointed out thattho four aero limit was only for astarter and for tho balanco of thoKnudson leaso a year and a half orso then, presumably, as largo anarea as seemed desireablo could bosecured from tho government.

It was finally left to tho discretionof tho committeo to do what seemedbest In tho premises.

Mr. Danford thought there wouldbo no difficulty in securing a concess-ion from Mr. E. A. Knudsen, as hohad always been very good about let-ting peoplo put up summer camps ontho land. Personally, however, hothought it was a mistako to havo thoconcession in ono block, whether itwas four acres or ten. Tho choicospots aro llttlo nooks In the hollows,hero and thero; personal retirementbeing his idea, while that of Mr.Brodio was social fellowship andrecreation.

The Kokee SituationExplained.Mr. Brandt desired to mako a brief

statement which ho hoped mightclarify tho public mind In regard totho Kekaha situation which is beingconsiderably discussed Just now.

"Tho transfer of tho balanco of tholease from tho Knudsens to KokahaIs in tho interest of the government,and has been consummated at tho

of tho governor. Nothingcould bo dono in regard to tho futuresettlement of tho Kekaha problemuntil this matter of tho leaso to thoKnudson interests was disposed of. Injsubstance that transaction is simply?this: Instead of paying tho rent for1919 and 1920 as it shall bo duo, it isto bo paid by Kokaha to tho Knudsensin ono lump sum, and tho balanco oftho leaso transferred so that Kokahawill bo In a position to mako indo- -

to homestead tho lower lands, and per-

The Coming Catastrophe

One of the greatest catastro-phes in the history of the worldwill happen in this coming year.Nothing can prevent it. It is asinevitable as the rising and set-ting of the sun.

This catastrophe i the deathby starvation of thousands ofpeople in the next eight months.Tliis number will exceed the totalnumber that have been killed onall battle fronts in the past fouryears of war.

this is not a rash guess. It is'the plain statement made bythose who have the facts of thesituation in hand and who dareto face these facts.

In Northern Russia ahme. con-

servative estimates ligure 10.000-00- 0

deaths from starvation thiswinter. Fifty million people inthis district are beyond help be-

cause of the complete collapse ofRussia's transportation facilitiesunder her reign of anarchy andbecause too, of her d

ports.Fortunately, other countries of

Europe, although lacking food asmuch as liussin, are more acces-sible, if their peoples sutler theawful calamity of these people ofNorthern Kussia it will be be-

cause America would not sendthem food, not because we couldnot.

Arrangements have long sincebeen completed bv which the '"bigAllies," France, England, andItaly will be provisioned. Thestream of food into Uelgiuin hasalready been redoubled to helpregain the strength from the tor-ture of four years of Gorman oc-

cupation.Our concern now must be for

the "little Allies" who have atlast emerged from the Germanyoke. These include the Serbians,Roumanians, Greeks, Czechs, lug-oslavs, and others. In all thesepeople number 7.",000,000. Theyare on the brink of starvationnow. Unless we can send themfood immediately, they will die.

Unfortunately this food cannotbe trod need bv a miracle. Itmust be saved bit by bit, day byday by the voluntary economy ofthe American people.

This, then, is the situation. Unlike war-time- no direct, specificsacrifices are asked of us m orderto feed these millions of starvingmothers, little children and bravebut war-wear- y men. We are notasked to have wheat less or meat-less days. We are thrown entirely upon our own good sense andconscience to save food by livingas simply as possible mid by conmining au war time economiesthat lessen waste.

Is there an American, man, woman, or child who has known thepride and joy of saving food towin the war, who will hesitatenow to save food to win Iheworld ?

Hawaii Protests

High Value

As a protest against the apprai-sed values of Hie Waiakea home-stead lots, says the Advertiser ofthe ."ird, the following resolutionwas passed by the Ililo board ofsupervisors:

WIIEWEAS the appraisers ap-pointed to appraise certain publiclands at Waiakea. in the (list ridof South Ililo, to. he opened forhomesleading ami known as theWaiakea homesteads, have ap-praised the liomeslt-iiil- s in saidtract, in many instances in excessof $100 per acre, and in some insstauces as high as ::i.-- and slidper ai re, and have appraised thehouse lots in said tract in manyinstances at l and s700 peracre, which appraisineul has beenaccepted by the Territory of Ha-

waii ; amiWHEREAS it appears that ihe

values so placed on said home

haps than in many others, ourtemper lias been tried by the warconditions and we have had much

need for patience and forbear-

The Governors Report

Tho Governorhas just Issued his he-po-

for the year ending June 30, 1918,

which makes it virtually a report of

the Pinkham administration. A leng-

thy document, we note In brief soir.e

of its points of special interest:Exports: Sugar, $71,342,000; Pine-

apples, $8,199,000; Bananas. $136,000;

Coffee. $149,000; Rice, $134,000; Sun

dries, $S48,000.

Labor: There has been a seriousshortage of labor due to the transferof much that we have, from the fields

and factories to the military service,

and to the farther shortage of trans-

portation by means of which the sup-

ply could be maintained from thePhilippines. This means that theplantations are being hampered, anda reduced output win result.

Government Lands: Leases of gov

ernment lands are expiring. It is thepolicy of the administration to convert these lands into homesteads. Butthis takes time, not less than fromsix to nine months, and mostly muchmore. This means that when suchlands have been in cane, a great lossensues in the intrim, before the andcan be got into cultivation again. Inorder to obviate this loss, arrangements have been made for the plantations in possession to continue thecultivation of the crop until the home.'

steader is in position to take it overThis has been done, notable in thecase of Waiakea, Hilo, with the resultthat some 2000 acres of cane will becontinued under cultivation with aprobable yield of 10,000 tons of sugar,which would otherwise be lost.

Territorial Bonds: The Territory isauthorized to issue bonds not to exceed 7 per cent of the total assessedvalue of the property of the Territory.The last completed assessment a- -

mounts to $235,651,000, so the borrow-ing limit will be $16,495,000. The out-standing bond issue at present a-

mounts to $8,749,000, showing a heal- -

thy condition of our finances.Business Corporations: The total

capitalization of domestic businessCorporations is $171,384,000.

There are twenty-thre- e banks inthe Territory. Nine in Honolulu, twoelsewhere on Oahu, three at Hilo, oneat Honokaa, one at North Kohala, andone at North Kona, Hawaii; one eachat Wailuku, Paia, Kahulul and

Maui and one each at Lihuoand Waimea, Kauai.

Fire Insurance: The rates for fireprotection on the Islands are con-siderably higher than on the Main-land. Recently amended fire regula-tions, it is hoped, will materially re-

Petsai as a Substitute

for Head Lettuce

The poet, who said, "Wliafn inname?" evidently had no idea

that, in so far as the importantnatter of food is concerned, pre- -

udice could he aroused to such a

mint as to cause a mental aversion to, if not a positive condcin- -

intion of, a really delectableirticle of diet. Take the case of

Chinese cabbage, for example. Instinctively the gourmet shuddersit the attempt to associate thatname with a delicacy. Call ittetsai (the Chinese name for it)uid most probably his prejudicewill change to desire; he will tryt ; like it.

I'etsai was introduced by theUnited States Department ofAgriculture from China, but ithas been grown here in Hawaii bythe Chinese for many years. It isnow grown in considerable quan-tity in many parts of the

The testimony of unprejudicedpeople who have eaten petsai isill in its favor, and many whonive eaten chop suey ami liked it,not knowing of what it is composed, unwittingly have held a

brief of petsai one of the staplelgredients of that well-know-

and much enjoyed Chinese-Amer- i

can dish.To Americans lettuce has be

come the great leaf vegetable forsalads. Throughout the year itcan be grown in Hawaii, but veryfrequently trouble is experiencedin getting firm heads. The curlyvarieties of lettuce have beenmore popular in our gardens, asthey are not expected to formheads and are crisp enough tosatisfy the need.

I'etsai is much easier to growthan lettuce. It possesses notonly all the good food qualities of

lettuce, but also it has the -- advantage of being more econouiieally grown about one-hal- f thecost of lettuce by reason of itsheavier yield. This feature aloneshould recommend it duringthese times. It keeps better thanlettuce and, pound for pound,probably contains as much of thevaluable substance for which we

eat lettuce. In transit it '"holdsup" better than lettuce. Asgarnish it is preferable to lettuce;it retains its crispness in flavor aswell as in appearance.

Technically po'.sai is not a cabbage, and the unfortunate use ofthe name Chinese cabbage shouldnot create prejudice against it.

Petsai is grown from seed, justas lettuce is grown. It attains aheight of twelve to fourteen inches and when ready to serve it resenibles the heart of lettuce. Apply to your seediuan for seed.

Dr. A. It. Glalsyer, who has beenactive in breeding and distributingRhode Island Red poultry on this island, intends to change his activitiesto breeding the Red Sussex. According to the doctor, the Red Sussexmakes a pound more growth thanthe Rhode Island Red, besides havingthe good qualities attributed to thelatter breed.

O. Thronas of Moloaa, has plantedfour acres of corn which has madesplendid growth since the recentheavy rains. Mr. Thronas Is verybusy now plowing a 12 acre tract be'tween Moloaa and Anahola which hewishes to get planted to corn as soonas possible. He also intends to plantan acre of cassava for stock feed assoon as he can get the necessary cuttings.

Joseph Kapule of Moloaa, has justcompleted a planting of corn on hiclearing in the Moloaa Hui lands. Although he has fenced about 12 acresof laud here, he has been ableplant only about a third of it so far.Kapule is anxious to go ahead, withthe intention of getting the entire enclosure under cultivation this winter,but lack of equipment and laborholding him back.

Another Feed For Hogs

As a supplement to corn mealfor growing and fattening pigs,the Wisconsin experiment stationfinds that ground soy beans prov- -

1 about 10 per cent superior towheat middlings, figuring the costof feeds as the same. The Indium station compared rations ofwo parts of corn meal and oneirt of soy bean meal with cornleal and wheat middlings inqual proportions and with five

arts of corn meal and one partf tankage for pork production.

The soy bean ration produced theirgest daily gains, and this withhe smallest quantity of feed con

sumed for each pound of gain.The soy bean does fairly well

in Hawaii under certain condi- -

ions. Some very good yieldswere produced by Oriental farm-ers last Summer in the vicinity

f Wailua, on. the windward sideof Kauai, on the sandy lowlandsnear the beach. They are drought resistant, and do well duringthe summer months when it isTtoo

dry for many other kind of vegi- -

tation. Swamp and peat soilswill produce soy beans, after having been drained and limed. Soybeans will thrive on soils that aretoo acid for many other legumes.The soy bean is more drought re- -

istant and also less sensitive toan excess of moisture than eithercowpeas or corn.

Soy beans are grown all overthe United States, but producethe largeest yields in the warmereigons. The average yield to the

iicre in various sections of theUnited States range from about15 bushels in the northern Statesto about 25 bushels in the northern part of the cotton belt. Maximum yields of 50 bushels to theiicre have been reported fromNorth Carolina.

As corn is very high priced inHawaii, it would probably bemore feasible to feed soy beanmeal with rice bran, a muchheaper product. A mixture of

two parts rice bran and one partsoy bean meal would make andeal feed for fattening hogs, un

til two or three weeks beforemarketing, when the hogs shouldbe finished off with corn and soy-

bean meal to make the pork soundami firm.

Manuel R. Souza recently madefour acre planting of corn on his ranchat, Moloaa. Souza was one of the firstto get his crop planted in this districtthis season. Although the weatherhas been cold, and the winds severehis corn field looked splendid lastweek.

The Hawaiian Canneries Companyof Kapaa, is clearing large piece ofland just below the pineapple fieldsrecently planted at Moloaa. Wtfenthis new land is planted next autumnthe pineapple fields will extend to thegovernment road.

THE GARDEN ISLAND, TUERDAY. PEC. 24, 1918

Twenty Million Tons of Food

"Twenty million tuns of, Amer-

ica's Food Pledge." What doex

it mean? This pledge for the re-

lief of Europe is just one more

wonder added to our year ofwonders. The signing of theArmistice brought within ourreach starving millions long cutoff by the German submarines.

.

America acted at once and raisedher food pledge from 17 milliontons to 20 million tons. Withiua week after tlie Armistice wassigned the first consignments ofan emergency food order of overl!00,000 tons had been dispatched.We realize that every ton of food

than can be pushed through ourports must be shipped, for thereis no real peace in sight until thefood situation is relieved.

What it means toEvery Woman.Once more the call has gone out

to "Save Food." You are sumnioned to an even greater taskthan last year. We must nowright even harder to win peacethan we fought for victory andthe fight is against famine andanarchy. The Allies and libera ted nations face not ljunger alonebut the collapse of all that holdstheir civilization together unlesswe maintain a steady How of foodto Europe.

Will America keep her pledgeto civilization and put 20 milliontons and more across before nextharvest? The answer depends onhow the American women sets hertable, no less than on effectivedistribution of food in Europe.and on eflicieucy in handling andshipping supplies from this side.Three times a day she has the opportunity to guarantee her conntry's pledge...There Must lie ...

Xo Waste r

This plan rests on how muchfood there is in the world, howmuch can be transported andwhere this food is most neededmakes no allowance for waste inAmerica and very little for an increase of war rations in Eimne,

The world's food has been figured, and waste in America will upset the balance sheet. This, thenbrings the national pledge rightdown to the home table and givesevery woman something definiteto go on at once- - rigid economyall along the line.

Learn to Face aCalorieThis new war on waste means

far more than "stews" and "hashes" and "bread puddings," morethan the gospel of the "cleanplate." It calls for balanced rations, scientific feeding ami learning to look a "calorie in the facewith due respect and withoutfear.

The training and discipline oflast year will help. Go forwardon tins inundation and acquirethat economic cookery for whichcertain countries are famed, butwhich they learned through longcenturies of short meat and dairysupplies.

There is no time to wait onthis expensive ' teacher experi-ence. Take the short cut basedon knowledge of food values. Youare called now, in the name ofhumanity, to adjust your table atonce, and to practice the nicwtrigid economy in the face of ap-

parent plenty.Economy and good food go to-

gether only when based on know-ledge, whether learned from experience or books. So learn toface a calorie and respect the ration.

A'o Time to MusterOutllns is not the time lor women

to muster out. If you belong toan organization, stav with it.This new light calls for oiganizalion. If you can't join an organization, keep mobilized anyhow mitil the war against famine is won.

When orders come, be ready toiuoe at once and take your neighbors with you. America hasglorious work to dowoman is needed.

The Lihue Juniors Got

the Opening Game

(Cinlrimited)

Last Sunday the Lihue Juniors and

Grove Farm played the openingga-tn-e of the midwinter baseball series.

The game commenced at 2 o'clockand was witnessed by a fair sized

crowd.Walter Schumacher pitched and

Willie Ellis caught for the GroveFarmers, and Alex Akita pitched and

Hirota caught for the Juniors. Bothteams played exceedingly good ball

and made very few errors.

Neither team scored until the fourthinning. The first run was Bcored In

this inning by the Juniors, and threomore were chalked up In the eighthwhen Frank Fernandez made a homerwith two men on nases. Three inureruns were an.iexed in the ninth.

Willie Ellis lid splendid work behind the ba. whiie E. Lovell andMur.uel Fermi:.djx wee the brigutind particular sUm of the Farmo-- s

tin Hpp, Manuel !', A red, Ma :uelJoe and Frars were the hero, s of

tie Juniors.A'. Kapaa the home team beat theFilipinos 7 to 2. The wouldhave won had it not been for soincostly errors. '

"Betting is divided pretty eavsnlybetween Grove Farm, Kapaa and the jj

Filipinos as winners of the cup. Al- -

though the Lihue Juniors have good j!

players, they have no chance for the '

championship," said a fan whilethe game.

.Manager C. F. Andrade, of the LihueJuniors was pleased with the wayhis team performed and said he wouldgive a big luau if the Juniors carryhome the cup.

Next Sunday the Farmers will playthe Kapaa's at Lihue Park. As the j

Farmers are a very strong team theKapaa's will have a hard nut tocrack.

Births and Deaths in Hawaii

Statistics of the births and deathsby races reveal two or three signifi-cant facts in regard to our population.The Hawaiians for the year have G2S

births and 883 deaths a percentageof 2.8 and 3.9 respectively of the totalnumber of that race.

. .Part Hawaiians on the other handhave 981 births as against 275 deaths,6 per cent and 17 per cent. Thisi Isone more evidence of the decadenceof the pure Hawaiian, and a surpris.ing indication of .the vitality of thepart' Hawaiian. At this rate it wouldlook as though he was coming up topossess the land.

Next to the pure Hawaiian in lowvitality comes the Filipino, with 418births and 3G4 deaths 2 per cent forthe former and 1.8 per cent for thelatter, showing that they are barelyholding their own, which is a poorshowing, considering that they are solargely young people, in the prime oflife with no aged element to pull thinyerage down.

On the cfier hand, the Japanesemake an excellent showing with 4534b'rths ad aguim 1363 deaths 4.2 per'ret to - the "'incr, and 1 per on!for the latte.-- .

The Americana have 303 births and164 deaths. The Portuguese 1032births and 331 deaths.

The total estimated population ofthe Territory is 25G.180. Made up asfollows:

WORLD'S SUGAR SUPPLY SHORT

It was expected by intelligent sugarauthorities that with the recovery oftransportation facilities at the closeof he war the large stocks of sugarwhich have been held in Java wouldbe rushed into the European maketsand so flood them that present priceswould be materially reduced. Butit now transpires that when they wentto. look for that big Java surplus itwasn't there. Tired of waiting, it hadbeen disposed of very largely in theOrient.

The Argentine crop of sugar isfailure, and they are looking abroadof their own needs. The French beetcrop is away short also. Accordinglythere is every assurance that theworld's pupply for the coming yearwill be entirely inadequate, and as aresult the present high prices will bomaintained.

vantage than the homesteader can.And this additional development work,which will call for large "expenditures,can be done to much better advantageby1 the mill company than by thehomesteader or by the government.

: , Mr. Broadbent inquired as to wherethe homesteader would come in, inthe disposition of the water, and howit would be administered by the Millcompany of by the government?

Mr. Brandt replied that his under-standing was that the mill company

'would handle the water, but that thehomesteader would be guaranteed asquare deal.

The Homesteaders Would BeIn Good Hands.Some general discussion followed

in which It became increasingly evi-dent that the plan as thus roughlyobtlined met with very general favor,and the assured conviction was ex-

pressed that the homesteader wouldbe in very good hands in dealing withthe Kekaha interests, which wereeminently just and fair and wouldtreat homesteading and the .home-steader with consideration. It wasalso pointed out that the Kekaha tractwas by all odds the most valuable as-set in the possession of the govern-ment, perhaps the most valuable agri

cultural tract In the United States;equal in value to the whole of theTerritorial debt; and this being thecase it must be wisely administeredand not frittered away by Inefficiencyand mismanagement.

As the hour was now growing latea motion to adjourn was suggested,but was held tip long enough to allowMr. Lydgate a few moments for anappeal In the Interest of the WarSavings Stamp compaign now drawingto a close, in which Kauai Is fallingseriously short of her quota.

tract, say four acres, on which sucha resort could be established in timetor the coming summer, and main-

tained for the remainder of their lease.And that the Chamber then take thematter up with the Government off-

icials, asking them to set aside suitableareas in this vicinity, on the expira-

tion of the present lease, for the fol-

lowing purposes:First: To set aside a suitable area

to be used as a public accommodationplace.

Second: To set aside camping sitesunder conditions similar to those re-

iting the lots to M acre, at a rentalof $2.50 per annum.

Third: To set aside a suitable areaas a public camping ground, wheretemporary camps can be made.

We also recommend that providedthe cooperation of the Knudsen In.terests, and the Government officialsis secured, that the Chamber of Com-

merce take the responsibility of rais-ing the money, erecting the necessarybuildings, furnishing and setting intooperation the proposed summer campor resort, and have it ready for visit-ors on or before May 15th, 1919.There Is a crying need for such anestablishment, where the man ofmodest means can give his family thebenefit of a change of climate at mod-
