SUPERVISORS WANT
FULL MONTHS PAY

Just why the meeting of the Board
of Supervisors is to be held today is
because the members want to do the
golden rule stunt-to do unto them
selves as they have done to others, and
Ito vote their own pay for a period
they did not serve. a majority of
them fail to see why Willie Crawford
should have his appointment ante
dated and his pay start before he did
if they can not do as well themselves.

Board of Supervisors, began their Off
cial life on Monday, Janury 4, at the
hour of noon. When the salary roll
was made out in readiness for the meet
ing on Wednesday night, the pay Of
the members WAS figured from January

$3.50 for January. OF course. none OF

DEMAND FOR PINES
MUST Be QUAORUPLED

ssThe demand of consumers of pine
apples will have to be quadrupled to
meet the growth of pineapple cultiva-
ton in the next four years, in order
that all the product of the Hawaiian
Islands can be worked off, - said James
ID. Dole of the Hawaiian Pineapple
Company yesterday.
The output for the past season,
that is the pack, for the entire Islands
doubled the previous pack, and this
year will see another increase in the
amount of the pack. OF this only
about thirty-seven per cent. has been
disposed of. There are over 100000
cases on hand awaiting favorable
time for shipment
''We are advertising pineapples ex-
tensively, but we do not expect imme-
date results-or, at least, large re-
suits. The grocer firms on the main
land have pineapples of other coun-
tries on hand, and many of them have
been on their shelves for years. Al
though the Hawaiian pine is infinitely
superior to products of other countries
yet it viii take some time to get ouI
pines on the market. When people
want something in canned goods, they
generally send around the corner for a
can of peaches or pears or apricots
Their knowledge of the pineapple is
yet very limited
The Hawaiian Pineapple Company
has about 1900 acres under cultiva-
ton at Wahiawa. and about 1000 acres
will be in fruit for this season s pack.
A. f. H. Thompson of Los Angeles
who came here as an advance agent
for the Alden Besse to drum up q
cargo, was at Wahiawa yesterday in
speeding the pineapple plantations. He
was greatly impressed with the magni
tude of the undertaking,
