SAY PUNS WANT TO WIN:

High School Faction in InterschoIastc League
Scrap Specify Reasons for UNFOLDING
the Rules.

Tie former friendly relations between
the Mckinley High school and Oaha
College are intensely strained al The
present time as Z result Of the scon-
tToyersv over the Interscholastic
League 5 eligibility rules which has Re
suited in the withdrawal Of the Oahu
College Athletic Association from the
triple alliance, and the High School
faction said yesterday that while they
did not want 20 widen the breach nor
to have the Pms think that they were
trying 10 stir up any more antagonism,
they wanted their position thoroughly
understood. The Highs claim first that
they stand to promote athletics among
the boys during the regular school term
by regulations which. to their view,
viii equalize competitive conditions as
far as possible under the existing sit
nation and maintain fair play. The
first object in going 10 school, they con
tend, IS TO obtain an education and
along with this they should have as
much athletic training as possible with
out interfering with their studies II
boy can I keep up with his classes
and IN athletics roo, then. they would
have the latter give way TO the prime
object. education. and any student that
can not finish the regular school course
at Oahu College and al the High School
IN four wears, they insist. can not be
doing satisfactory work in his studies
Furthermore, the Highs say. when a
student has competed IN InteTscholastic
League sports four wears he should step
aside and give the younger ones a
chance no matter whether he has rep
resented one school or all three during
that time. 1t diSc0urages a boy just
starting in. they explain. TO have 10
compete with boys who have had SIX
and seven years training.
Age Limit Wouldn't Work
An age limit, they argue, would not
apply for the reason that many Of the
BOYS attending the Kamehameha
Schools are oIier than some Of the Puns
AMI Highs and while they may be more
developed on the start they are awk-
ward and require just as much train
ing TO learn how 20 handle themselves
as the younger ones. To encourage
athletics there must be competition and
there must be rivalry TO stimulate Il,

not be carried any further Than ITO

The Rev. CYRUS Townsend Brady,
! however, has made a very lllnmln-
atine study of the rtislnS and
circulation conditions OF thirty-nine
of the leading magazines published in
the United States. The first thing
that struck his attention was the tact
that candid and courteous replies to
his requests for Information were
vOuchsafed by all the publishers
quite a contrast to what would have
happened from d similar inquiry a
generation ago.
He next discovered that these
thirty-nine magazines. which had an
aggregate circulation of over 10000 :
GEO copies per month. could put UP a
full page advertisement into the
hands of 600, 900. GOO readers, or sever
times the population Of the United
States. for the astOnishingly inSignifi-
can't sum Of $4,000, or for two
thousandths of a cent for each reader
Better Written Than Reading Matter.
The paid by the purchasers
Of these thirty-nine magazines was
$15.00O.000. for which they received
$1,000 pages Of text and pictures and
$4,000 pages of advertisements.
Magazine advertisements are better
written and better illustrated than the
reading matter. This is because they
are OF no use to the man who pays
Tor their insertion if they do not at
tract attention.. whereas the contri-
butors interest in his article after its
acceptance is mostly nominal.
These 80 ms gaines We're found to
receive $4,000 900 q year from their
advertisements and s15, O0O, 900 from
their sales and subscriptions. This
SHOWS that III monthly magazines the
receipts from advertising and sub
scrlptionS are about the same. In
the receipts from adver-
Using are often our times as much |
as the receipts from sales and sub
proportion is even greater. The
owner OF Que Of the leading evening
papers in New York told me that 80
per cent of its total receipts came
from Advertising.

statement Of the work done When
the supervisor looks over ms foads
he will agree with the farmer as 70
the proper money value of the work

road tax, including both pole ana
property, or not TO exceed q ct'taiii
portion of his road tax, as the eN-
perts may determine would be neces-
sary. Let the sheriff honor these re-
ceipts as payment upon road tax.
With this plan in operation there
would be an incentive to do good
work With little, or reasonable charge.
He would invariable work the road
when it was in order to pillow ana
therefore too wet to work the 1isld.
At such a time a good team ana ploW
will loosen more dirt than twenty

will do with picks. When there Is

to the road bed, he would provide
himself with q two-hOrse drag scoop

with it move more dirt and more eff

shovels.
In this way the work would be lone
with less cost to the county than III
any other way for the two reasons
that the is building through
his own farm and at a time her he
cannot work in the field. lie could
afford to make the minimum charge
The effect would be that when a
farmer here and there should build
a good road through his farm. his
less enterprising neighbor would
catch the spirit and We would soon
have a net work of better roads.
This same idea can be carried to
a far greater extent. and the farmer
encouraged to use the split log drag,
and finally to gravel the roads.
OF course some men could not, and
others likely would not, work in this
way. Let the overseer employ them
in the usual way upon the portions
of road not otherwise worked
There will be plenty Of work for
many years to come for the convlcts
to do IN building macadam thorough
fares and doing the heavy grading
