Announcement OF
An Exam.

Have you poi for sale" was the
amazing question that numerous WIS.,
itOrs asked of Paymaster iOrnberger
this morning. The Paymaster began
TO think that he was being made the
victim of some practical joke, ana
when, on stepping out onto the YER
anda of his Office, he saw long line
of Hawaiians marching down the
street. he came to the conclusion that
they were coming after poi.
Not waiting to verify his suspi-
cions, the officer fleG ignominiously,
It's said. not coming out of hiding
until assured that the approaching
multitude was not after poi. Then
he started out to solve the conun-
drum.
The answer was not far to seek.
Over the main gate of the Naval Sta
ton hung a large white poi flag. The
Hawaiians all came to the conclusion
that Uncle Sam was disposing of a
surplus of poi and wanted to get in
on the ground floor II possible.
Investigation disclosed the fact
that the white flag had been hung
out to announce to the world at large
that an examination was being held
at the Naval Station, and not to in.
form the public that Paymaster Horn
berger had gone into the poi business.
