LITTLE INTERVIEWS

L. HINES-It is a curious thing that
the Dole company seems to have cor
rallied San Francisco for pineapple
beverages and the Clark company Ho-
nolulu. They tell me that Mr.. Thorn
as will butt in next year with a third
concoction of pineapple drink. BY
and by more people may take their
fresh pineapple from a bottle than a
plate,
RICHARD KELLY-The improve
ment of Bethel street is already mark
ed. 1t is interesting to watch the
various strata of alleged attempts at
making it a good street, as they are
dug up to make room for the new
roadway. You can see boulders, cor
al, brick, pebbles, sand, dirt and ma
cadam, the digging up process re-
vealing chronologically the previous
stabs at building a thoroughfare.
A. P. TAYLOR.-Louis Meyer, VINO
is now ranching and editing in Color
ado, wrote the account of the e. P.
Advertiser famous. 1t was, in some
respects, the funniest article ever
written on a local news theme. E. p.
Dole couldn't stand the strain, and,
in a few months, closed his office and
went to the coast He has never sent
in his name to the Comeback Club.
HUGH McINTYRE-Years ago
there was a man here who called him
self John Smith, if you please" He
was in debt to everybody, particularly
to Judge Widemann. One day during
his absence from this island, his wife
advertised for all his creditors to file
their accounts with her Widemann
was among the first to get there. She
thanked him kindly, took the account
and said: 81 just wanted to find out
how much the old man owes"
MANUEL VIERRA-The trouble
with grape-growing outside the
Punchbowl district is that the owners
think all they have to do it to let the
vines grow and produce. The Punch
bowl district folk know better They
are aware, for one thing, that fun
gus will blight the crops unless, while
the bloom is on and when the grapes
are beginning to form, little sulphur
is thrown on the leaves-just a dust
coating of it. Everybody might have
fine table grapes in his yard if he
sulphured and pruned at the right
time.
MOTH OF SIX'-The members
of the House have seen fit to pass
bill against trading stamps without
consulting the mothers of the COM
munity. Speaking for myself | have
been very careful to impress on my
children, the wisdom of making small
and early savings, so in addition to
placing odd nickels in their money
boxes. | have always taught them to
save their stamps which were given
as premiums on cash trading, so that
they night get some useful rt.cle FOR
the home. Furthermore my father has
always taught us to pay as we go
and the little gree stamp is = remind
er to us of that homely but wise
maxim. Several or my neighbOrs to
whom l spoke, are indignant at the
idea of taking little from the poor.
REPRESENTATIVE AFFONSO-I
am in favor Of the Sunday bill There
is nothing in the bill which gives to
the supervisors the power to open
moving picture shows on Sundays, to
prevent people going to church if they
want to- l do not think that anybody
who goes to church is going to switch
to the moving pictures. The people
who attend houses of religion will
still continue to do so, while the peo-
pie who do not go to church are the
ones who viii go to the moving pict-
ures. Roughly speaking, for have not
obtained the statistics, believe there
are about thirty churches in Honolulu,
with seating capacity of about fif-
teen thousand worshippers. What are
we going to do with the other forty
five thousand people who want enter
tainment?
