WILL IMPROVE
FINANCIAL TONE
A Plan to Pay Monthly Dividends In
stead Of Making Quarter
Iy Payments.

In talking over the financial situation
after the morning session of the Stock
Exchange yesterday the fact that some
of the plantations which have been
paying quarterly dividends were con-
sidering the advisability of monthly
dividends was commented upon very
favorably by the brokers. Mr.. E. c..
Macfarlane in conversation said: Now
that the plague is practically at an end
sugar is being shipped much more free
ly and the returns from cargoes are be-
ing received by the plantation agents.
In consequences of the improved condi-
ton OF things it seems that the agents
to relieve the present great stringency
are considering the advisability of pay
ing dividends very soon instead of wait
ing for the regular quarterly payments.
Many small holders are having a
hard time to make payments on as
sessable stocks held by them and are
having to sacrifice their holdings to
meet their obligations. 1t would be a
very good thing at this time to have
one per cent dividends each month in
stead of waiting for a three per cent.
dividend at the end of the quarter. The
money is lying idle and doing no good
while it might just as well be in circula-
ton. Besides helping out the tightness
in the money market the circulation
of cash will greatly help the tone of the
stock market now greatly relaxed.
THE banks have had to accommodate
the plantations to quite an extent and
now the cargoes shipped are beginning
to be heard from establishing big cred
its to the companies doing the ship
ping. 1t is generally understood that
Oahu will pay a dividend in June. This
might just as conveniently be done
now. A gentleman largely interested
in the banking and sugar business ex-
pressed himself as being of the opinion
that II would be advisable to make the
payments of dividends as soon as pos
sible rather than wait to pay as here
tofore quarterly or semi-annually. IL
seems to be the general impression
among the brokers that the plantation
agents should do everything possible at
an early date to help the stringency in
the money market"

are represented over dozen different
denominations. This is one of the mys-
teries of Christ's religion.
Christians there are whose beliefs on
many subjects would make it impos-
sible for us to work together in this
association. While we desire to make
our inclusion as wide as possible, GER
tain fixed principles we must have, in
order that our religious work shall be
anything more than an intangible plat
itude. Far be it from us to judge these
Christians who are not amonst us. We
respect their principles and gladly rec
ogniZe the sincerity and value of their
efforts.
Therefore, seeing that our association
is a meeting ground of many Chris
tians, | warn you to guard carefully
that breadth and to see that no one who
is able to join with us in our work shall
feel estranged by reason of the denom-
nation to which he belongs.
While upholding an undenomina-
tional Y. NJ. G.. A., perhaps / may be al
olwed some feeling of pride that. as l
believe, the association had its origin
amongst members of my own church
the Church of England.
And in closing, / appeal to you MEM
bers on behalf of the officers Of the
association, for your sympathy and CO.
operation in the work of this coming
year. We ask your assistance in all
our departments. In the educational
that the classes may be useful to all
who seek to improve their education
In athletics-that they may become
more attractive as a recreation and
more useful as a means of healthy ex-
ercise In the social and visiting-tha'
our association may become a more
ready help to the stranger in his friend
lessness, to the sorrowful in his lone
| illness.
But do not stop there: we are moi
! Christians or followers of Christ in 1t:
true sense as God means it, unless WI
include the soul with mind and body
in our activity. And we ask for you
help therefore, in our religious work
that the Bible classes and services ma!
be maintained with vigor and earnest
ness, and that the work may not al
fall upon the shoulders of the few wht
are responsible for maintaining 1t
Above all may Gods holy spirit signal!
bless us this coming year, purging from
our lives all that Is unworthy: helpint

from Waikiki in a hack. The horse

off a couple Of wheels from carriages,
and collided with a telephone pole near

1t annoyed him TO find that he was
