An incident which shows how secure
women have made their place in tho
industrial structure of the times has
lately occurred in Rhode Island. A
woman who had worked for single
great manufacturing concern for thirty
i've years was discharged for causes
which her fellow workers, men as well
as women, believed to be unjust. The
whole power Of the trade union, inv0lv-
Ing all the 5000 employees, of both sex
es, was brought to bear, to secure fair
hearing for this one working woman.

MAUI AND HAWAII
COUNTY BUDGETS

Supervisors of the other counties
have been busy getting ready for the
coming year, and both Maui and Ha-
waii counties have made out their
budgets for 1909 and had them passed
on and approved.
The Hawaii budget is a very COM
plete document with estimated income
and expenditure figured down to very
fine point. They estimate that their
income for the coming year will be
$1S6,69S.58, and that they will expend
only $93,17S.20 ehargeable to the gen.
eral fund, which will leave surplus
of $93, S.3S to be transferred to road
fund or otherwise disposed of.
In comparison with the actual ex-
penditure during 1908 of more than
$9S,000 from the general fund, the esti-
mate for 1909 is some $4,000 less. This
is explained by the absence on the es-
innate side of such items as ''Kau lava
flow, $4,627. so. - There are several
other smaller items left out, included
in which are premium on bonds, and
the Honolii road
The Maui budget expresses only the
estimated expenditure for 1909, and
this comes to 1888, 100. No mention is
made of the probable income. All un-
certain expenses are figured in round
numbers. Maintenance of prisoners is
put down at $500, as also is coroner IS
inquest expense, while the county en-
gineer is expected to have about
thousand dollars worth of incidentals.
They evidently don't suffer much
from pauperism on Maui or Molokai,
for one item of estimated expenditure
reads "Sup. and Maint. of indigents,
$50 The Waialuku town clock is not
overlooked, and $50 is set aside for that
important civic institution.
In both eases the budgets were pass
ed without anv criticism, and the
supervisors adjourned to meet again
after New Years Day.

GETTING PINEAPPLE
STATISTICS FOR COAST

Byron o. Clark and William B.
Thomas are gathering statistical in
formation concerning the pineapple
output of Hawaii and are canyassing
the Hawaiian pineapple growers in CON
nection with the suggestion that it may
be possible for the local fruit men to
market their product through the Cali
fornia Fruit Growers Exchange, as
was reported a short time ago. The
practieabiIty and the manifest advan-
tages Of marketing in this way have
been acknowledged by everyone con
nected with the trade who has knowl-
edge of the great combination of the
Coast orange growers, the only ques'
tion which has arisen being whether
this organization would care 70 take
into their exchange the Hawaiian fruit

SLU|C|NG WORK
NOW POSSIBLE
Yesterdays Rain Has Helped
a Little at Nuuanu
Dam Site.

Enough rain fell on the Nuuanu res
ervoir watershed up until ten o 'eloeb
last night to raise the level in the res
ervoir a trife over fifteen inches. This
is not very much, considering the way
the water dripped from the clouds on
the lower levels, but it will enable the
sluicing operations to recommence on
the dam site and be kept up for two or
three days at least.
1t had been generally supposed that
the upper Nuuanu was getting a fair
share of moisture yesterday and the
night previous, but unfortunately word
from up the valley says that this is
not the case There is plenty of rain
in the air from the pail edge down to
town, but with the rains has come a
gale of wind that hustles the rain
drops along past the dam. The lower
reservoirs are all three full, and this
insures a plentiful supply for town.
The rain gauge in the center of the
reservoir site showed fall of an inch
and a quarter of rain as a result of the
precipitation Of the previous twenty
four hours. On the line of the dam
the rain gauge marks two and a half
inches, double the amount a few hun
dred yards mauka. The amount regis
tered at the Alexander Young Hotel
gauge was less than an inch and
quarter, while Kalihi and Manoa got
more than double that amount.
The rain appears to have been gen
eral, the windward plantations getting
much required soaking.

FUNDS NEEDED
FOR GOOD CAUSE
Susannah Wesley Home Unable
to Answer Demands Made
for Assistance.

"The response to our appeal for as
sistance for the Susannah Wesley Home
has been by no means what we hoped
for,' said Mrs. Mack, the superintend-
ent of the Home for japanese and Ko-
rean Women and Children, on King
| street. GAS matter of fact, the
financial condition of the home is in
very bad shape at the present time and
our work is growing beyond what we
can do. We have room at the home
for many more women and children,
but we are in the deplorable condition
of having to refuse applications for
help because we are not able now to
attend to those we have already under
taken to assist.
During the year just closing we
have had as inmates of the home for a
longer or shorter period seventy-five
persons, forty-one of these being chill
dren, while employment has been found
for fifteen of the women who came to
the home as inmates.
eve have in the home at the pres
ent time, besides some women, twenty
four children. Of this number six are
paying at the rate of $3.50 per month,
two are paying $3.50 per month, and
three SO per month. The balance are
not able to pay anything for board,
clothing, bedding, school supplies, car
fare to Sunday y-school, laundry supplies
and medicines, which have to be fur
nished by the home.
stThere are now three workers and
yard boy, for whom salaries and liv-
ing must be furnished.
"All the work for the children, in
eluding the sewing and laundry work,
is done in the home.
Observing Japanese women have
been sent to US for protection from the
attacks of brutal husbands by some of
the best families in our city. Others
have been taken in at midnight and
given shelter and protection after be-
ing maltreated, when their friends were
afraid to help them for fear of harm to
themselves.

edness, and belongs to the Women s

thirteen children who are able to do

"SThe object of our home is to pro-
tect these helpless women from harm;
when necessary, to find employment
for those who are able to go out to
domestic service; to train those who
wish and need it, for positions as
cooks, house servants, nurses or seam

1t is reported that graziers are ask

hoof and butchers are about to ask Is

They claim that the commissioner

that he would open up and sell all

say they have made all necessary prep

Pays to Raise White Beans,

Common white beans are good
crop for the farmer to grow, If they
are grown under the best methods
GOod-sized seed should be planted
rather than small seed, and the plant
ing should be after the danger of frost
is past, as the leaves Of beans will not
stand frost. The farmer should at
least raise enough for his family,
which can easily be done on a very
small strip of land that has been only
moderately manured. This small de-
mand nor manure is due to the fact
that bean plant roots have on them
nodules containing bacteria which
gather nitrogen from the air. White
beans need food cultivation, so that
the soil around the roots can be we'll
treated, which favors the development
Of the nodules.
