MOVE To ASK
AMENDMENT
TO COUNTY ACT

HILO. August ga great deal OF
talk is going around political circles IN
regard to an amendment to the County
Act. which may be proposed at the next
session Of the legislature. On this IS
land it is felt very strongly that the
office of tax assessor should be an cleo
tive one and considerable influence Will
be brought to bear toward that end.
How far it will go is doubtful mat
ter, as it would seem quite certain that,
even should bill providing for such
a change be passed by the house and
senate. it would be very likely to be
vetoed by Governor Frear.
Another matter in regard TO the tax
office. which is being taken up, IS the
suggestion that this island should re
ceive a large share OF the taxes Whieh
are now turned over to the Territory
The situation here is harder to handle
with the limited funds at the d1sposal
Of the board Of supervisors than III Tue
smaller counties The long distances
10 he Travelled here, have resulted IN
the building or more Jails, schoolhouses
and police stations, all Oh "hlc1 tne
county must keep IN repair IN addition
TO the regular lOaA ''A>'
which are also much more expensive
than on any other island OF the group
The great bulk of the property taxes
from this island are paid IN HonoIuiu
and go TO the territorial funds, Whlle
il j. felt here that, on account OIL tue
necessity Of spending so much HloIe
money here than is needed on the othtI
islands. this island should have NIUE
different treatment. Whether any oi'
providing for such 4 change can &c
nur through the legislature, however
!. also matter OF conjecture, though
i uight have the support OF the gov
eminent. IN aIf,,,.-
An illustration OF the small allow,
a,ca which is received by this island
i of interest. This IS shown clearly o!
the fact that the present allowance
from the Territory for the county u
Hawaii is only $1,000 per month loi
All work, including the police expenses
yrbich take far over third Of lna'
s.nonnt With the other expenses aoo
al tbere is very little LETT Tor Ioau
work. which accounts Tor the Ppoi ~
| d;tion Of the roads. In HonoIuIu TIC
monthly appropriation for ROAD "o VOL,
| aIa,,o carries from a 81. 600 minimum

/ SIND has not only much gfeatei

| 30 81 much rainfall in many sections
! that the roads are washed out qul0N'|
! makes this contrast even stronger

SCHOOLS MAKE
SPLENDID RECORD

Supervising Principal Isaac M Cox
makes report of distribution of pupils
in grades, as shown in the records of
the ffty-eight graded schools under his
supervision.
These ffty-eight schools represent
approximately three-fourths of the en-
rollment in the common schools of the
Territory. Whereas in 1909 sixty
eight per cent. of all pupils were below
third grade, in 1910 only sixty-two per
cent. were in these grades, and
there is a corresponding increase of
six per cent. in the next three higher
grades, the number of promotions in
all the grades being greatly increased
in the year just closed. This condition
is very gratifying. 3
The cost to the Territory of putting
n pupil through one grade according
to the course of study has been IN
recent years approximately $3.50. An
increase of 1907 in the number of pro-
motions made during the year repre-
sents for these schools, therefore, an
increase in efficiency of the value of
$157,762.5O a year. This very favorable
result Mr.. Cox believes to be due to
a more careful supervision on the part
of principals of schools and to earnest
and efficient service on the part of
teachers.
cit appears to be true of teaching, -
SAYS Mr.. Cox, ignore than of most
other pursuits that the best work IS
well nigh invaluable, while the poorest
NAV be worse than worthless. But the
average results are very gratifying,
Fiftv-seven schools report total OF
1928 promotions, his being ninety
one and one half per cent of the June
enrolment Of l4,135 pupils, whereas
the promotions of the preceding year
amounted to sixty-fye per cent Of en-
r0llment
He congratulates the teachers ana
their schools on this very favorable
outcome Of the years work and wishes
them successful accomplishment IN the
cOmino school year.

Many people suffer from "stufiness" or 'stoppage" of the nose through life, without ever thinking of consulting their medical attendant. It is one of the most frequent causes of deafness, and it is this symptom which is often the immediate or direct reason for the patients seeking advice. Nasal ob- struction is responsible for many other troubles. Further. it not only inter- feres with the development of these or gans, but when severe it is responsible for state known as "aprosexia," or impaired intellectual development, by lack of ability to con the attention. by dullness of perception, and backwardness in learn ing

GA Mite Too Frying"

Bushby had many natural advan- tages and beauties. but Mrs. Abner Crane, who was a brief sojourner in the place, having been there only a matter of ten years or so, never appre- ciated it. "She was aching to get back to Nashuy the whole enduring time," said one of Mrs. Cranes Bushby neighbors, land I was glad to see her go, feeling as she did"
 What was it she didn't like about Bushby?". asked one of the summer residents, curiously.
 "She said she didn't get the news O the day quick enough to suit her. quoted the neighbor. with as near an imitation of Mrs. Cranes air as she could manage.
 "As I said to my Asy. what on earth she wanted more than we have in the way O news-spreaders here. I don't know.
 When you consider that there are five telephones in town. a grocery wa gon driven by Lucy Grants boy twice a week, Lucy Grant herself to sew for everybody in town by the day, and all taking milk from Jed Kimball, l don't know how we could be any better fixed I call anybody that wants more news Q the day than Bushby folks get a mite too prying myself"

Woman a. a Social succe...

Woman as q Social Success.
 There is no quality more to be de sired to make a woman sociaJ sue cess than that of tact. Its possessor knows the right thing to do and the right time for doing it, and thus gains reputation for cleverness and for many virtues which a tactless person would never win from her circle of acquaintanees, no matter how excellent her qualities of both heart and head.
 The tactful woman is not only a patient listener. but she Is thorough ly good one. She shows no weariness even when she has heard the same story more than once from the same person, and she smiles in the right place, and appears to enjoy hearing jokes just as much as her companion enjoys telling them. says Woman's Life.
 A tactful woman generally gets her own way with her husband, and with other people. and yet in such a man ner that people always suppose that they are following their own and not her inclinations. The fact is that she, knows when a man is approachable and likely to be amenable to her wishes, and when it is best to leave him alone. Tact is a weapon guided with a multitude of precautions and feminine wiIes by the wise woman. and 1t is only the wise who possess it.

The following is a good substitute for cream: Boil three-quarters of a pint of new milk, put a level teaspoon full of flour into cup with the yolk of an egg and mix well together, add ing a little sugar. When the milk boils draw it back from the fire, and. after it has been allowed to cool a little, pour over the flour and egg mix ture. stirring briskly to prevent it from becoming lumpy.

On it's proving intellectual Curran remarked: Tt was not your fault, MT. Attorney; you were deliberate enough" The third duel was with John Egan, an Irish barrister who had the nickname of Bully. Egan was 'of immense size. as brawny and almost as black as a coal porter" Curran was facetious 1n the subject of Egans size. and they left the field reconciled Egan became Curran's second in Curran's fourth and last duel, with Lord Buckingham shire

The House Fly.

In the same order with the diptera come the house fly. already referred to-the blue bottle or blow fly, and others. The larvae of all such live on carrion and decaying organic matter. The common house fly has very short life history. The female deposits 15O eggs on dung or any kind of soft filth, the larvae hatch, we are told. in a day
