MAKING OF KAU
GOES BANKRUPT

Joseph H. Maxine, a merchant doing
business at Honuapo, Kau, Hawaii, has
filed petition of voluntary bankruptcy
in the Federal court.
His liabilities foot up s415S.S1. Hutch
inson Sugar Plantation Co is the only
secured creditor, holding a mortgage
on property valued at s4435 to secure a
debt of $1,000. H. Hackfeld & Co, Ltd,
is the largest unsecured creditor, the
debt being $1124.S3.
Maxine places his assets at s29, 1875. SO.
The largest item is a claim against
Hutchinson Sugar Plantation Co., for
cane planting contracts amounting to
$4,000. There are scores of book ac-
counts, largely OF small amounts
against Japanese plantation laborers.

which SIS 600 damages are claimed for
false imprisonment.
Ford was arrested twice in one day
aboard the Ventura in this port. The
first time he escaped, but returned on
board and was again arrested. This
time he was locked up in the police
station, without charge being entered
against him on the book. and was only
released under habeas corpus on the
fifth or sixth day of his detention.
The chief officer testified that he
had told the policeman who took Ford
in hand to enter a charge of being
drunk and disorderly against him.
This was at the time of the second
arrest, Ford on his return having got
into a fight with two men on the
withal.
According to the evidence of the
first assistant engineer. the occasion
of F'ord's arrest the first time was a
row at the dinner table. He was seat
ed at mess but not eating. All of the
food had been exhausted as missiles
of combat between him and his mess
mates. When a policeman came, &C
companying the chief officer, and
nabbed Ford, he was allowed to go to
fetch his clothes, but took advantage
of this liberty to dodge the policeman.
The trial was continued until Mon
day.

THE HONE GARDEN.
The Story Of the Boy and Hts Little
Plot Of Ground

Plot of Ground
At the age Of five every boy is by
instinct a gardener. II guided by op-
portunity, example and intelligent d.
rection he will dig, plant and develop
an interest in growing things; lacking
these the call of mother nature leads
to mud pies. Given a square yard of
mellow ground, tiny hoe and hand
full OF beans, healthy five year-old
boy will have combination that ex-
cells anything yet designed in mature
study"
From five to ten the world begins to
dawn. He looks up and out; he sees
and initiates, but does not reason. He
should play without hindrance. If the
square yard Of ground be enlarged to
a rod. the handful of beans to collec-
tion of seeds 1.-THE kinds for sale In the
grocery stores are best as these have
brilliantly colored pictures on the pack
ages and the boy learns thereby what
manner of a thing he Is to expect), this
square rod will be the play ground to
a surprising extent.
He may not plant the kinds you ex-
pect or want him to plant, as his view
point is different from yours. It Is un-
wise to insist on any given plan. Let
this garden be his own. II 1t has been
entirely to carrots or cabbage let 1t re-
main carrots and cabbage, for they are
more to him than your choice variety
1t is unwise to expect careful pains
The Greeley tribune., 1906-07-19

ests Of the town will pay the burden
Of taxation, and the amount OF each
taxpayer will be less in proportion to
carry on government.
is THE SAVING A REAL ONE?
While the country household, in
looking over one of the big catalogues
and sending an order for $50 worth of
goods, may be able to figure out an
immediate saving of five or six dollars,
even after they have paid the freight,
there Is no question as to the final out
come. II the practice Is persisted in by
all the people Of any particular local
ity. The home town will suffer. the
home market will fail to increase. if
1t does not decrease. as will also the
value of the farm lands. Undoubtedly
the catalogue houses can sell goods
cheaper than the average country
store, for they do cash business
YOU send on your cash with yorr
order. There is no risk in the cata-
logue or mail order house business.
Possibly If you arranged to do business
on the same basis with your country
merchant-cash down with your pur
chase-you could get almost as favor
able prices. But the country merchant
is supposed to extend credit to every
one; he has bad bills which he never
collects and consequently must make
a greater percentage of profit on the
things he sells.
Every community which Is imbued
with the spirit of building up its own
industries and of supporting its home
town with local pride, is sure to be the
most prosperous; there can be no gain
saying this fact.
The Greeley tribune., 1906-07-19

greatest good for the greatest number,
the farms of each agricultural area
surrounding town should support
that town to their uttermost.
KEEP THE MONEY AT HOME.
Every dollar that the farmer spends
in the town indirectly comes back to
him In the way of benefits. The town
grows, 1t supports better stores, more
churches, better schools to which he
can send his children, furnishes bet
ter near-at-hand markets for his prod
ucts, and finally increases the very
value Of his farm land. AS good IL
lustration, the Dry Goods Reporter as
sumes that such an agricultural town
has population Of 1000, its support
coming from the country tributary to
it. The life of the town is its retail
trade. II 1t secures the entire purchas-
ing business Of the farmers, it must of
necessity grow rapidly. But Mont
gomery Ward and Co., Sears, Roebuck
and Co.. and others OF the enormous
mail order houses send out their great
four or five pound catalogues deScrib-
ing everything under the sun. Suppose
that instead of spending his 5000 a
year in his home town, each farmer in
the community diverts so per cent of
his trade from his town and sends 5000
year to the catalogue houses; 1t
means that half of the business of the
town is gone. On the basis of one hun
dred or one hundred and fifty square
miles of territory to support the town,
1t can be estimated that there are five
hundred farmers in the district. Three
hundred dollars year In trade from
each Of the farmers means that one
hundred and nifty thousand dollars
annually is taken from the home town.
