DIVIDENDS PAID
Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars Discussed.
Some Ups and Downs Of the Stock
Exchange for the Month OF
August.

There is no reason why there should
be any stringency in the local money
market, the talk of which Is heard
everywhere. Few people realize the
amount of money in constant circula-
ton at this particular time when
calamity howlers would try to create
the impression that the market is
trembling on panic's verge.
Day before yesterday the following
dividends were due and payable:
c. Brewer 4 Co., per cent-$l0 900.
Eva, zoe. per share-$50.000.
Hawaiian Agricultural, 4 per cent
$4,000.
Hawaiian Sugar, 2la per cent
$50, 900.

Ookala, SOC per share-$7,500.
Paia, . per cent-sl5,000.
Waimea, l per cent-$l,250.
This means a grand total of sos, $50
1t Is large enough to demonstrate that
the day of ruin Is at least some distance
off.
During the month 24,592 shares OF
sugar stocks have been sold. The
lions share Of was in .acBryde which
had 1l.273 transfers. Olaa is next with
5,327. Honokaa was good third with
1878. Eva followed with 952. The
largest fluctuation was in Pioneer Mill
which dropped from $2s2H to $500.
Oahu and Waialua each suffered a drop
of SIS share. The number of trans
fers in bonds both government and
railway shows that there is firm faith
in these securities. In Hawaiian Gov
eminent, q per cent, 1920 changed

which will greatly facilitate the distri-
button for the other Islands. IL Is
simply increased segregation. When
before we had to go through all the
mail to find letter for Hilo, now the
mail for the other districts Is kept en-
tirely distinct from that for Honolulu.
The bags are labeled and we can tell
at glance almost whether the pouches
contain local or outside mail. II will
be quite an aid in rapid distribution.
II think our system will compare
favorably with that in the States. The
one thing that Is needed now and will
come in time Is a regular mail agent
on the steamers. There Is no imme-
date need OF that. however, and 1t will
come in time.
II have received no official advices
from Washington in any way connect
ed with the postoffice. have no idea
any more than anybody else what will
be done. ! cant see where there will
be many changes, however, as things
are working very smoothly now. The
people that do business with the post
Office are satisfied It's those who
never get a letter that do the kicking"

The FIRST Meeting Of the Present
Season Held,

The first session of the present kin
dergarten season was held at Emma
Hall, with its associations of by-gone
times, its later history of benevolent
attempts towards the betterment OF our
little world amid these halcyon seas.
Now, more than ever. the "Hall' seems
shadowy green and pleasant under the
fine old poncianas and mangoes. espe-
cially when we reflect that on the con-
tinent the fall of the leaf has begun.
Mrs. Allen was in the chair in alb
sence of Mrs. Hyde. Mrs. Richards in
place Of Miss Hopper. Mrs. Coleman
represented Miss Lawrence, still linger-
ing in her old home.
Some changes are to take place
Miss Carrie Snow Is to rest from teach
ing for while-Miss Kellogg, whom
we remember as coming from Califor-
MIA University. daughter of its Presi-
dent, now wills to return, and resume
her place; Miss Hitchcock, whose
father has instructed us so valuably in
the geological history of our Islands,
proposes to remain longer with us, to
carry on excellent work already begun.
So the association Is to venture on
the new year under happy auspices.

LABOR QUESTION
What is the Matter With
the Portuguese?
Correspondent Claims Any Number
Of Laborers Can be obtsireo
Through Proper Channels

Editor Advertiser: Being a reader
of your paper, couldn't but notice the
article published on Friday, and also
to feel gratified in knowing that there
are some of the planters in these ISL
ands who think the Portuguese labor
ers the best they ever had, and will
ever have, for that matter. Then, as
such is the case, why not try to get
more of them? Why should the plan
tiers experiment with the Italians
(whom we don't know IL they will be
adaptable to these Islands or the work
required here) when, by proper
representation made by an agent,
such as Minister Damon, we would OBJ
tain more of these desirable Portu-
guese? A steamer Is due here in a few
days with about 100 Portuguese from
Madeira out of 500 who were ready to
embark, but on misrepresentation OF
some one they did not want to risk
themselves and families so far away
from their homes.
Now If these people were properly
informed by some reliable person, and
an offer of work at fair wages, either
under contract or not. am of the opin-
ion that the planters would get as
many good Portuguese laborers as they
reed.
| would very much like to have this
considered by the interested parties,
and | think now to be the proper time
To act. AN OBSERVER.
