THE new PLANTATION WAGE.

More significant and gratifying than the news OF all
the extra dividends is the announcement from the Hawaiian
Planters Association OF the adoption OF new wage scale
for the aborerS Of the sugar plantations.
At first sight the reader will probably size up this latest
move as profit sharing proposition. 1t than that
means that the aborerS will get an increased pay depend
ina on the price of sugar. whether the plantation on which
they are employed in making profit on its enterprise or not
Briefly stated this wage scale assures the working man in
the field share in the advantages OF an advancing Market
and the percentage OF wage dividend is good one.
This proves that the leaders of the sugar industry have
not been nmnd of the interests of the labOrerS, though
they have made great amount of noise concerning their
deliberations.
The scheme now presented looks easy But anyone with
experience in this sort OF thing knows that tremendous
amount of study necessary to develop scheme that IS
theoretically correct fair to the abOre and WORKABLE So
we must credit the Planters Labor Bureau and members of
the Association with having studied this question for months
and that during all this period of prosperity they have had the
abOrer very much in mind
The Bulletin can imagine various lines of criticism
that may be launched at this but it will not come from
men who have had experience in honest and practical Ell
forts 10 adjust the differing ideas and interests OF employers
with the divergent ideas and interests OF the employed.
This action of the Planters Association represents abSo-
lutte good faith in dealing with the interests OF the W0rkmen
on the plantations and getting closer to practical coopea-
ton between the employer and the employe
At the present time the percentage OF day aborers the
Suar plantations is comparatively small. Much OF the work
is done under contract But the contracts based the
rate of day wage there no doubt OF all plantation work.

Bright eyes are among the most
radiant of beauty's jewels, since they
give animation and light to the entire
face. A dull eye means heavy,
dropping expression, a condition to be
avoided by the employment Of ex.
IRENE measures on the part of the
girl who would attract.
A harmless and generally satisfac-
Wy way to bring brightness to the
q es is to battle them with a solution
of boracic acid and tepid water. Put
in basin full OF tepid water as much
boracic acid as can be placed on a
dime. When 1t has entirely dissolved
battle the eyes gently. Do not be
afraid to allow the water to get into
the eye, as It will remove all infiam-
nation and tend to make this impor-
tant beauty feature clear and bril-
liant, at the same time giving a rest
full and strengthening effect.

In the Sunday school teachers ex-
perience the only kind of a dentist
she had ever known was a man who
pulled or repaired teeth, so when the
nice little girl in her class said her
father was a dentist the teacher con-
cluded to patronize him. She knew his
address and called one day with
nerves braced for treatment of an I'M
sound tooth. She was shown into q
small workshop, whose sides were
lined with big grandfather clocks.
'Dentist?" the man exclaimed.
Great Scott, no; I'm a clock member.
but know how the kid came to make
the mistake. People in this trade al
ways call the fellow who makes spe-
cialty of tinkering with grandfather
clocks a dentist. The wheels of most
grandfather clocks of American man
ufacture are made of wood, and when
the clock stops the wornout teeth
have to be removed from the wheel
and sound teeth put in. So really
do work with teeth and deserve the
