Atchlson-The rise In Atchisu1 was due chiefly
10 buying by R II Bisseu q CO. The room
called this good buying. but il could not ascer-
tain what the object was. According 10 the

three strong parties who have been accumulat-

Plato. Lord Bacon, Ben Franklin
Hetty Green. Andrew Carnegie, and
other philosophers have described thrift
as the setting aside of something for q
rainy day. When cash's worth per cent
upwards, why accept per cent or 4
per cent for it? The difference between
3 per cent and per cent for a term of
years is considerable:
Three per cent on $L0O for 25 years
equals 5000.
Six per cent on 800 for Is years equals

5000 600 gallons. or about 200 gallons for
each inhabitant of the city That would
seem to be enough for all practical pur-
poses-but OF course many people use
much more than their share, particular
iy those who have large lawns. A sysN
tenn of meters would remedy that. how
ever. and then people would find that
their lawns and shrubbery would do
equally well With, less.
Speaking of water. have heard the
argument made that if the taro patches
were done away wifhs and the rice
patches, there would be fewer mos
quitoes in the city. And this argument
has been used as an excuse for the pro-
posed abolition of the taro patches in
Pauoa. But suppose the taro patches
are abolished there. what do they pro-
pose to do with the 400 acres of rice
fields between here and Diamond Head?
Now, as a matter of fact, 4 do not be-
lieve the taro patches are breeding
places for mosquitoes to any large ex-
tent. You say that Mr.. Van Dine. the
entomologist. agrees with
me in this. am very glad of the back
ing of such eminent authority. That
has long been favorite theory of mine.
You see the taro is grown in running
water, or in water that is not stag
nant, and that does not afford favor
