close insight into the whole matter
brought me also into personal contact
with many prominent businessmen
Of Honolulu and has been q valuable
and interesting experience.
In thinking Of the high salaries
paid here one must also consider the
very expensive scale of living. 1t
jars the equanimity of a Kansas man
to pay sixty cents dozen for eggs,
and nearly as much for a pound of
butter. Soft coal is 1913 per ton and
other things in proportion. When,
too, we must pay $40 per month for
a house that would rent in Abilene
for $S. 30, and a Chinese or Japanese
house man must be provided, 1t can
be readily seen that housekeeping is
q serious.matter in Hawaii.
Contrary to our expectations we do
not feel at all far away in our island
home. We are in the direct line Of
international tourist travel and have
already met a dozen friends and
former acquaintance from Kansas
and Chicago, and the completion Of a
cable and Of the isthmus canal will
put US in yet closer touch with our
friends In the States.
We did not get to see the return
ing goth Kansas but even out here
it is something Of an honor to come
from the state that produced such
magnificent regiment.

tain provisions in the bylaws as to

dividends have been regularly paid,
since organization; the patrons have
received among the highest prices
paid in the State for milk, and in addi-
ton the plant and equipment have
been greatly improved at a large ex-
pense. The generosity Of the stock
holders in proposing to take the sur
plus out Of their own pockets and \
give it to the patrons who have al
ready received high prices for their
milk Is noteworthy.
The company has reason to be
proud Of its successful management
since organization. Few institutions
