NEW MANAGER
IS POPULAR

J. H. Maxine of Hawaii, brother of
Fred Maxine Of this city, who arrived
on the Mauna Loa last week, reports
a very satisfactory condition of affairs
on Hutchinson plantation. The new
manager, Mr.. VOTERS, is very well
liked by the Iaborers, as is the head
luna, VIM. Mann.
Both officers get thorough We k out
of the men and there is the utmost
harmony reigning on the plantation.
When Mr.. VOTERS took charge the
Japanese were disposed to be unfriend-
~, but he has won them all over, and
the cooperation of manager and labor
er is doing much to bring out good
crop for next season.
Hutchison has not started to grind
this season, but expects to get under
way by next month.
PahaIa plantation has been damaged
to some extent by the leaf hopper.

A PESTIFEROUS GERM.

Burrows Up the Scalp Into Dandruff
and Saps the Hairs Vitality.
People who complain OF falling hair as
a rule do not know that it is the result
of dandruf, which is caused by a pestif-
erous parasite burrowing up the scalp as
it digs down to the sheath in which the
hair IS fed in the scalp. Before long the
hair root is shriyeled up and the hair
drops ont. II the work OF the germ IS
not destroyed hair keeps thinning till
badness comes. The only way to cure
dandruf is to kill the germ, and until
now there has been no hair preparation
that would do it: but today dandruff is
easily eradicated by Newbro's Herpicide.

of Honolulu commercially. Since the
organization of the Merchants Asso-
citation, Mr.. Helm, both as a member
and as secretary, has done much to
make it a powerful organization in the
community.
When the Merchants Fair was pro-
posed a couple of years ago, Mr.. Helm
| took charge of its promotion and car
ried the scheme through to a success
full issue The fair did much to bring
the merchants together in a common
effort to make a ereditable showing of
the various branches of business and
/ industry, and the agricultural interests
| of the Territory We're creditably dis
played
| Another important matter which Mr..
Helm took up and carried through sue
| cessfully was the project to get the aid
of the War Department in naming Ho-
noIulu as port of call for all United
States army transports both from Ma
Mia and San Francisco. The trans
since the dCludl iIipdlSHlHS III
the Philippines, had cut Honolulu out
of their schedule, a course which gave
Nagasaki, a foreign port, the benefit
of their expenditures. The Merchants
Association took up the matter, and
while on a visit to San francisco Mr..
Helm called upon Col. Huer, Engineer
Corps, Z. S A, and enlisted his aid
in having the transports put back on
the Honolulu route.
A question which weighed with the |
army officials was that concerning coal. |
Mr.. Helm promised Col. Huer that |
Honolulu would supply the coal and at |
a reasonable price. With this promise |
in mind. Mr.. Helm placed the matter
before the Merchants Association, and |
the thing was arranged.
Mr. Helm has made many warm per-
sonal friends among the business men
who regret the necessity of his depar-
ture and hope for his early return. He
has repeatedly shown himself to be
citizen and has always
been among the first to come forward
when there was an emergency call.
The public services. of Mr.. Helm are
recognized in the following resolution
of the Merchants Association, adopted
at the last regular meeting of that
body:
THE Merchants Association hereby
renders a vote of thanks to Mr.. P. r.
Helm, as a member aha as secretary
Of the Merchants Association, for
the able and satisfactory manner in
which he has carried on the duties OF
mis- office"

NEGLECT ALWAYS DANGEROUS.

To the average man it seems childish
to doctor a cold, and unless it becomes
particularly annoying to him. little or
no attention is given it. Often a cold
contracted in the winter is allowed to
run until the opening of spring. This
is grave mistake, as even though the
warm weather may bring relief, the
system is thereby weakened and rem
dered susceptible to disease. A cold
should never be neglected, whether 1t
be child or an adult who is afflicted,
as health and often life is risked. A
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
costing but a small amount will bring
speedy relief and by its use all dan
gerous consequences will be avoided.

Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the house,
Not D creature was stirring,
Not even a mouse.
When mama awoke with start and
a shake,
And wondered why papa
Was SO wide awake;
A runbling and roaring
Soon came to their ears
A noise that would follow them,
All through their years.
For down near the bath room
The water rushed out,
And it caused poor papa
And mama to shout.
"Oh, why did we make such fearful
mistake;'
'Oh. John dear, I fear that
My poor heart will break,
Unless you will promise
That tomorrow you'll call
Bath, the plumber, and have him
Go over 1t all.
And then no more leaks,
For we know that it's true.
That folks always call Bath
When there's plumbing to do.''
