wear has there been so many varieties
made of the very choicest silks. Pat
tern designs are characteristics of these
new makes. String Ties, Puffs, Scarfs,
Four-in- Hands, English Squares and
many other of the latest patterns are
to be found in our scock. A fine article
of neckwear has become a necessity for
him who would be we'll dressed. No
part of his dress is more conspicuous,
and when the best can be bought for
what inferior goods cost, no one should

MEMORANDA.

The coal vessels at the wharves still
continue the night work, trying to get
quick discharge.
The Australia arrived at San Fran
cisco on the 9th, and was sent to quar-
antine. The latest reports from the
Coast do not state whether she was to
be held or not, but it is stated that
she would have to undergo rigid inspec-
ton.
Captain r. Walton of the schooner
Ruby A. Cousins, is accompanied this
time by his eleven year-old son.
This morning a bark was reported
10 miles south and another one 16 miles
southeast. One of them is probably the
one that was off Koko Head yesterday,
having made her way round to get the
benefit of the southerly winds and get
into port.
Captain Fuller, harbor master, has
figured that $500 worth of work in
the harbor has been done free for the
United States government, in connec-
ton with the handling of transports.
The following vessels were in Kahului
harbor on March 3rd: Stmr. Centennial,
Eagles, from San Francisco; bktn Che
lalis, SimOnsen, from Newcastle; ship.
Antiope, Murray, from Tacoma; schr.
Novelty, Rosendal, from Caleta Buena !;
schr. Helen N. Kimball, Hansen, from
Eureka; sChr. Mokihana, Joseph, Koo-
lau; stmr. Claudine Macdonald, Homo

the coast on the Bird and the Claudine
is now here.
The Kinau reports 10000 bags of su-
gar at Maxwell and between sixty and
seventy thousand bags at Hanamaulu.

A Hamburg American Liner Larger
Than the Famous Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse.

The Deutschland, launched at the
Vulcan Yards, in Stettin, on January
O,19O0 is intended to be a record
breaker. The Hamburg American Line
on whose account tho stOorlaor' 10 hning
built at a cost of Ia, 600, 900 marks ($3, 1929, =
000), expects to have her in service be-
tween New York and Hamburg the
coming summer, as a competitor to the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse of the North
German Lloyd Line.
The Deutschland is built according to
the German-Lloyd requirements for
highest register of the four deck-s ship
class, with her steering gear and rud-
der protected and under water line in
compliance with instructions from the
Imperial Navy Department at whose
dispostal the ship would be in the event
of war as a cruiser.
Steam is supplied from - double and
single boilers, with 112 fires, which
drive 2 siX-cylinder quadruple expan-
sion hammer engines of $4,000 horse
power. The propeller shafts are each
40 meters OBJ. % feeD long and $50 mil
limeters GAS inches) in diameter; each
of the bronze propellers being Z meters
(22.96 feeD in diameter.
The ship has a double bottom extend
ing its entire length, which is divided
into "a compartments, Is exceptionally
strong bulkheads extending from keel
TO main deck, and l longitudinal bulk
head in the engine room divide the
steamer into II water-tight compart-
ments. 1t is claimed that if adjoining
compartments were to fill with water
the ship would not sink. The Deutsch-
land is supposed to have accommoda-
tions for 1,057 passengers and a crew of
525.

The New Year BegetS New Things

For the boys. Have you ever stopped
to think what a difference there is in
the makes of boys clothing? Many
suits are bought because the price is
low. 1t is often the price that governs
the purchaser, and not the quality or
the substantial makes. This theory
seems to be based on the idea that any
kind of a suit is good enough for boy,
as he will soon wear it out That is
not good economy, for If you would pay
a little more, and consider quality ami
make, you would have a suit for the
boy that would always look well ard
outwear two suits of the inferior grades
To buy the best is money in pocket: to
buy the poorest is money wasted. We
make a speciality to keep the best at

Don't Loaf.

An observer in the ways of loafers
gives this bit of Burdette advice:
tMy son, follow not in the footsteps
of the loafer, and make no example
of him who was born tired, for verify
/ say unto thee their business is over
crowded; the seats in the corner Of
of all whiting places are occupied.
1t is better to chop wood at two-bits
per cord than to whittle in a loafing
match and cuss the government. Ny
son, while thou hast in thy skull the
sense Of a jayfird, break away from
the cigarette habit; for 10, thy breath
stinketh like a glue factory, and thy
whole appearance is less intelligent
than store dummy. Yea, thou art
a cipher with the rim knocked off.

A Feryent Prayer.


An exchange prints the following
fervent prayer which co'ored minis
ter made in behalf Of fellow minis
ter: 20, Lord, glib him the eye OBJ
de eagle dat he may spy out sin far
off. Lay his hands on de gospel
plow. Tie his tongue on the line Of
truth. Nail his ear on de gospel pole.
Bow his head down between his
knees and his knees way down in
some lonesome, dark and narrow val
ley where prayer is much wanted to
be made. Noint him with de kero-
sene lie Of salvation and sot him
on fire.
