THE NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS.

Make 'em, make 'em; even though you
break 'em!
Good resolves are comforters, aye,
even for day;
Strive little longer, it will make you
stronger;
And perfection never yet was found
in human clay.
Make firm resistance, pray to have
assistance;
Give the demon that you dread
tussle-and you can!
Push the foe behind you; do not let
him bind you;
And begin the new year, better wom-
an, better man!

a Small Boy Found.

Chas. ]. Flschell and Charlie Gro
zier had an adventure with n lost boy
last evening and finally, through their
efforts the child was returned TO his
parents.
The little fellow was found crying on
Piikoi street and when asked his name
said it was George. Mr.. Fischell
thought 1t was the child Of a neighbor,
but on inquiry found the members of
the neighbours family all accounted for.
A lady came along who thought the
waif belonged to family on Beretania
street. 1t did not. however, so Char
lie Crozier took the find home with
him and fed him. A telephone mess
age to the police station brought the
mother of the boy to Crozier's house.
She had been waiting for news Of the
wanderer. The little fellow had walked
from Kakaako to the baseball grounds
and when 1t got dark could not find his
way home.

SCAR WarINearly Ended

New York. Nov. 15.--According to
some Wall street reports, the war be-
tween the sugar refining companies is
very near settlement-and that In
rather an extraordinary way. Ii Is
said in fact, that consolidation of all
the sugar refining companies of the
country is shortly to be brought about
and that the American Company has
the project in charge. While 1t is i'm
possible to get any verilcation of the
report, it is regarded as significant that
in spite of the present war. which is
supposed by the public to be costing
the refining companies a small fortune
by reason of losses, the sugar stocks
have been strong and at any recession
nave been bought by insiders.
But whether this consolidation talk
is or Ia not without foundation, II
seems to be very generally accepted
that an agreement between the warning
companies has practically been reach
ed, the terms OF which may be an
nounced at any time.

Schools OF OIaa.

Inspector General Townsend made a
trip TO Olaa this week, says the Hilo
Tribune, to investigate the school fact
mites there rs compared with those re-
quired. The large increase of chill
dren in that district ensuing upon the
establishment Of the sugar plantation
VIII render at least one new school
house of considerable size necessary.
Mr.. Townsend estimates that from
similar causes six or eight large school
houses will have to be built in the
course of next year at various points
on the island, besides those old ones
which have reached such a point of di-
lapidation that they will have to be
replaced. For all the new ones there
will be a corresponding expense for
maintenance and teachers The ex-
pense of the Board of Education for
the coming period will be much greater
than during the past.
Mr.. Townsend is very anxious that
the public lands should be disposed of
so that the proceeds will form fund
for the support of the school system of
the Islands so that 1t will not be de-
pendent upon taxation or appropria-
ton, which will hardly be likely to
keep pace with the growth of the
school needs.

4 SUGGESTION FOR COTTON GROW
Ems

4
In an interview in Atlanta the other day
| Hon. Pope Brown, president Of the State
Agricultural Society, speaking of the
outlook for better price for cot
ton. said. u believe that if there ever
was a time when our people would do
well to hold their cotton it is now
| President Brown does not advise the
farmers 10 hold their cotton. He sim
ply expresses the opinion that they would
make money by holding it, While he
doesn't know. OF course. whether or not
line price of cotton viii be higher he is
SO confident that Il viii, that ne is willing
10 say so publicly
IL Is rather risky business to advise
the farmers whether to hold or sell their
cotton. because there are so many things
which influence the price. II is better 10
let the farmers act on their own judg-
mert IL they make a mistake they have
only themselves to blame. They have the
means of forming an opinion as to wheth-
or the price is likely to advance or de-
cline. The newspapers have been publish
ing for two weeks or more all the infor-
nation obtainable about the condition OF
the crop. Ever since Neilrs estimate was
given out there has been a great deal of
discussion of the condition of the crop
and its probable size.
The great majority OF cotton men insist
that Mr.. Nenrs estimate is at least LOO
900 bales too nigh. The reports from the
various sections of the cotton belt appar-
entity support the position they take From
only a comparatively few localities come
reports that the crop is up to the average.
If the reports are worth anything the con-
tention that Mr.. Neill is at least 1000
00o too high in his estimate is well found
ed.
President Brown, when ne threw out
the suggestion relative 10 holding back
cotton, did not mean that cotton should he
held back for the purpose Of forcing up
the price by creating the impression that
there was a shortage, whether there was
one or not He simply meant to say that
he believed there was a shortage, and that
the fact would become evident later on in
the season. with the discovery of the fact
that there was a short crop would cause
an advance in price.
1t is evident that the spinners and cot
ton buyers are not confident that Mr..
Nellls guess is close to the truth. When
that guess was published there was
sudden drop in the price of cotton. Since
then the price has advanced, and there
are strong grounds for hoping that it will
still further advance. The cotton farmers
are about the only class of producers who
are not getting any of the benefit Of bet
ter times The remarkable activity in cot
ton fabrics would seem to justify the con-
clusion that a very considerable advance
in the price of cotton cannot be delayed
very long, even if the condition of the
crop should turn out to be better than it
is generally believed to be.
