do not wish to leave Honolulu. A,
the same time there are dozen
equally good accountants in town
who would jump at such a chance for
there are not enough to 60 around for
those who are already here.
In a word the positions that are to
be had here are very good ones but
there are only few Of them. The
wealth and commercial and political
Importance Of the Islands lead most
people in the States to greatly over
estimate the size Of the group and the
opportunities offered to newcomers.
1t is to be remembered that the en-.
tire American population Of the
Islands is not larger than that Of the
city of Topeka and although there are
large and prosperous business enter
terprises here, most Of the labor is
done by Asiatics, Portuguese and the
native Kanakas, and the positions Of
oversight and direction are compar-
atively few.
Another marked popularity of
Hawaii is its devotion to a single in
dustry, sugar forming about Us per
cent Of the country's export. The
business has been highly profitable
for the past ten years, but it has
largely crowded out small farming,
fruit growing and even coffee raising.
As almost all the available land has
already been taken up there are few
possibilities for small farming and
most of the farmers who come will
have to devote themselves to coop
eratiye cane growing for the great
plantations. Yet there is field here
for intelligent small fruit growers
and poultry farming. Small shop
and store keeping is already monop-
olzed by the willy Chinee and with
his cheap scale Of living it is impos-
sible for Americans to compete with
him.
Sentiment here is Loyalty American,
but the conditions can never be
wholly and consistently so. Asiatics
will always do most Of the drudgery.
they already monopolize rice cult
gation and trade and are rapidly be-
coming factor in the building trades
IS well as in retail business.
The soft and alluring climate Of
Hawaii together with its beauty Of
loud heeced mountains and idyllic
ALLEYS are the wonder and fascina-
ion Of tourists from all over the
world. Yet that same mild climate
proves enervating after long resi-
lence and many people here plan for
ocular visits to the States to freshen |
themselves up. Still one could not
imagine more perfect weather than
We have had for the past two months,
With never an extreme Of either heat |
IT cold.
Hawaii is now pre-eminently the
and for the wealthy, the investor
md the tourist. With money one
AN live here more comfortably than
anywhere else in the world. Always
here are sunny days for driving,
'athing and yachting and the glories
4 the island nights with wonders Of
loud effects and balmy air are no.
where surpassed in the wide world.
For the investor the Hawaiian sugar
industry offers splendid returns with
liability and the minimum OF risk.
he system Of irrigation makes crop
ailures unknown and the soil and
Innate conspire to woodworking
lelds and heavy dividends.

Yours for a Merry Christmas,
Way Down in Maine.

An audience which filled the opera
house thoroughly enjoyed the Abb
lene Dramatic clubs rendition Of
down in Maine" last Tuesday. The
play is an ambitious one and requires
dramatic ability Of high order to
make it a success. That Abilene PEG.
pie presented it SO we'll is highly to
their credit.
The principal parts among the
ladies were taken by Mrs. Henry
Lifts and Mrs. F. B. Bearce, both Of
whom won renewed admiration by
their artistic work. Lois Craw-
ford, Lucille Cooper, Edward Craw.
ford, James Brock and last but not
least MANDY Gates" took the hearts
Of the audience by their very natural
demeanor.
Henry Lifts had the leading part Of
the play, that Of Nathaniel Berry. In
it was blended comedy and tender
ness and Mr.. Lifts gave both with
fidelity that was heartily appreciated.
Especially worthy Of praise was the
work Of M. H. Malott and G. S. Craw-
ford who were typical down-easters
Nand presented their difficult charac-
tiers with remarkable ability. VIM.
Teeters made good lover and G. G.
Towner covered himself with glory.
Frank Northcraft, Bert Brady, Her.
bert Landes, Misses Eames, Gorden
and Suffer and Mrs. c. S. Crawford
had minor parts which they filled
we'll. The company received cur
tain call but did not respond.
The orchestra was daisy and was
Of itself worth the price Of admission.
There was q real meal on the stage
with real turkey which the guests
picked clean-what more realism
could one askP 1t made the audience
hungry.
Home talent shows have hard time
with love scenes. Will Teeters left
his girl for q 5000 mile trip and
didn't dare kiss her goodbye. He
wanted to but the boys on the front
row snickered and SO be just held
her Of and didn't. Lots Of kissing
goes with the piece but except what
