THAT FAMOUS PUNCH.
Mrs, E. w. Jordan Tells What
She Knew About It.


state, apropos of the leader in this
mornings paper. that neither the
management of the Feast of Nations
nor of the Hawaiian booth have any
knowledge of the sale of punch at the
recent festivities"
The above editorial appeared in
last nights Star. AS it was a direct
denial of the statements made in
the ADVERTISER, Mrs. Jordan was
asked whether she had made such
a statement. She had not seen
the article in the Star, and when it
was read to her, she said:
81 did not request the Star to
make any such statement. What
| did authorize it to say, was that
the management of the Feast of
Nations and of the Hawaiian booth
was not responsible for the sale of
punch.
I" The matter was brought TO my
attention ON Friday evening, when
/ was told that punch was being
sold at the Hawaiian booth. L
went to Mrs. Haalelea, who was in
charge, and told her what | had
heard. She said that if any in
toxicating liquors were being sold,
it was without her knowledge,
and that she would try to stop it.
She went to both Mr.. Cummins
and Mr.. Merseberg, and requested
that, if such a thing was being
done, it should be stopped. That
was all that we could do in the
matter.
~ also heard that there were
other liquors sold at the booth. |
could not belive that this was so,
even in the matter of the punch,
and I decided to investigate the
matter. In smelling it, / did not
detect any liquors, but thought
that little anise seed had been
added to it. I found out, later,
however, that it was a regular
punch.
LAS to the matter of our not
accepting the money from the
booth, that would be an injustice
to Mrs. Haalelea that we would
not like to do. We have decided
to accept it, but will probably add
the Maternity Home to the list of
charities to be benefited by the
bazaar. This is an Hawaiian in
stitution, and if some Hawaiians
wish to disgrace themselves In the
way that occurred at the Feast,
then Hawaiians can use the money
obtained in such way"
There can be no doubt of the
fact that neither Mrs. Jordan nor
Mrs. Haalelea authorized the sale
of punch or of any other strong
drinks at the bazaar. No such
idea was intended to be conveyed
in the ADVERTISERS article, and
such a construction could not be
put upon it. There is, of course,
no doubt whatever that such things
were sold, as a large number OF
those present can and have testl-
fed. The ladies are naturally in
dignant about the matter, but, as
one of the lady managers said last
evening, the thing is done and
cannot be helped, however much 1t
may be regretted.

DEAR Shin reply 10 yours OF II :
18th inst regarding tie National Cane
Shredder furnished oy the UNIVERSAL
Mill Co OF New York, and erected by
the Hilo Sugar c. this past season,
would bcs. . say, that II has nov been
in operation day and night during the pas t
three weeks WORKING on plant cane, and
also hard ratOonS ami it IS giving me the
greatest satisfacti t. The more see of
its capabilities, the netier pleased L am
that put it in, "a | aD satisfied that it
will repay the original outlay in a short
time, in saving OF labor, higher eXtrac-
ton, etc.
1t is shredding from 100 TO 400 tons Of
cane every % hours with the greatest
ease, and it could shred 2 much larger
quantity if necessary. 1t delivers the
shredded cane in an even uniform feed
to the three roller mill, which receives IL
without the intervention OF any labor,
and as the cane is thoroughly shredded
or disintegrated it relieves the mill OF a
great deal of strain, thus reducing the
liability of broken shafts, gearing, etc.
There is saving of four (4) men daily
on the mill, as only one man IS required
to regulate the amount of cane delivered
by the carrier TO the shredder. It has
increased the extraction from to
5 per cent.
The economical use OF steam is gene
rally serious consideration in adding
new machinery, as in most mills the
boiler power is taxed to its highest limit,
as it was in this mill, and any increased
demand necessitated an additional boil
er. But find that the shredder and
three roll mill engines combined use no
more steam than the three roll mill
engine did when working on whole cane,
while doing better work and more of it,
and owing to the uniform feed on the
mill, the engine demands very little
attention.
The Megass from the shredded cane
makes superior fuel, and the firemen
have less difficulty in maintaining uni
form pressure of steam than formerly.
/ will be pleased TO have call from
parties Interested, as it is necessary to
see the machine at work to fully appre-
ciate its capabilities.
remain, very truly yours,

ToPIc.-True wisdom. Getting it. using it.
JAS. iii, 1913.
In these verses James speaks Of two
kinds Of wisdom and tells something Of
the origin, nature and results Of each.
The first we may call false wisdom.
1t was manifested by those who aspired
too hastily to teach. They were UNI
wise in their estimate of their own
powers and also in their Judgment of
the discussions that should take place
in the church. This wisdom did not
have the proper origin and result 1t
was earthly instead of from above and
busted itself with things of the earth.
It was sensual or natural rather than
spiritual 1t was '4devilish. {" 1t was
false in its source as well as in its char
acter. The results Of such wisdom in the
church could be easily imagined.
But James also speaks Of true wis
dom, its characteristics, its origin and
its fruits.
The characteristics Of true wisdom
are: /. It is ''pure, (" chaste, holy, un-
sullied. 2. 1t is peaceable. There is no
disposition in true wisdom to dispute
and wrangle, which was the leading fea-
ture Of false wisdom. 8. 1t is ''gentle, Z
forbearing, charitable, considerate. A.
1t is ''easily entreated, accessible,
open to conviction and willing to listen
to remonstrance 3. 1t is without va
riance, steadfast and persistent 8. 1t
is without hypocrisy. 1t is perfectly sin
eere and open in all its dealings. We
can from this description see the beau
ty, the desirability and the usefulness
Of true wisdom. But how may we get
this wisdom? it is asked. James says it
is from above" and therefore the only
way to get it is to get it from God by
prayer and communion with God and
by studying the works Of God-in ma
ture and in revelation. "f any Of you
lack wisdom, let him ask Of God, that
giveth to all men literally and upbraid-
eth not, and it shall be given him. But
let him ask in faith, nothing waveringn
(Jas. i, 5, 81. True wisdom comes from
God, and if we want it we must ask God
for it, and if we ask in faith we shall
receive it. Solomon asked God for wis
dom and received it, and so may we re-
ceiVe it if we ask in faith
But how are we to use the wisdom re-
ceived? 1t is not to be used i'll disputa-
tions and wranglings. This wisdom.
says James, is full of mercy and good
works" 1t is to be used in such way
as to produce good works 1t is to make
the world happier and better. 1t is to
do men good and not to harm them,
and to point them to God.

and the coming Of fair weather. These
weather signals never failed. When the

silent. The whistle got out of order some

Comparatively speaking, Mr.. and Mrs
Bright were happy couple. They didn't
have any too much money, but otherwise
there was no reason why they shouldn' e
be happy. He was an expert accountant,
but there were times when he had very
little to do. That was why Mrs. Bright
moved into larger house where she could
take boarders. At first he objected, but
her argument was that Mildred must be
educated. She never reproached him for
not being able to give them the comforts
they needed, but seemed happy that he
