AS TO LIVING HIGHER.

There are men and women in Ho-
nolulu who are prone to blame the
butcher, the baker and the candle
stick maker for the cost of living
which from all accounts is higher
than it was fifteen years ago when
as a matter of fact there are so many
diversions to take the money from
the wage Garner that when it comes
to necessities the kick comes also
whether the prices are higher or not
The management of Haleiwa is charg-
ing the same prices as We're charged
the first day the hotel was opened
and the cuisine has in no way suffer
ed from the extra cost of materials
without a proportionate increase in
the rates, The o. r. & l., trains
will take you to the door.

other illegal combinations" to sub
