PUBLIC WELFARE
EXHIBIT CLOSES

Having had a total attendance OF
G554 people in the five days II wa.
open, the Public Welfare Exhibit al
Palama Settlement closed last night
It has proved Of great interest TO q
large number of the best citizens ana
will likely bear fruit in a tangible in
crease of effort toward social better
ment.
Governor Frear presided az last
nights conference in connection with
the exhibit. James A. Rath, supern-
tendent of the Settlement, wss the
speaker and his subject cooperative
Philanthrophy" Among other things
worth noting by people of endeavor
here, Mr.. Rath said:
81 am concerned, however, chiefly
with the cooperation among the phil
anthropic societies here in Honolulu
We have not had this to any extent
We have failed to pattern after the
chief industry Of our Territory ana
consequently our results have not
been as large or good. There are
three ways in which this cooperation
may be brought about. First, it may
be voluntary, secondly, by the social
work of city being co-ordinated
through state boards of charities, and
thirdly, by those methods adopted by
those who furnish thu fund for the
control Of philanthropic work
I'VE have great many organiza-
tions and institutions in Honolulu do
ing many various kinds of work. The
people of this city are called upon, as
probably no other city of It's size, to
support these; they have a right to
ask whether they are getting full re-
turn for the money they give. They
have right to know to what end they
are working, just as they have a right
to ask whether our methods are best
and the most efficient.
eve need to adopt slogan. |
would suggest, Know Honolulu
Know the city we live IN, the city in
which we are rearing our children. 1t
is pleasant to know about distant
cities and ancient peoples, but why
neglect our own city. Let us begin
to study our own people and our con
ditions. The study should not only
be of conditions but of the work that
is already being done to meet those
conditions. Is too much being done,
as some assert, or too little?
ITO accomplish all this" the speak
er concluded, twill mean the expendi-
ture of money, brain and energy. Let
us cot forget, however that when the
object is to raise the permanent con-
ditions of people small means do not
merely produce small effects they pro-
duce no effects at all.
Fellow workers and fellow citizens,
what are we going to do about it?'

BAND REORGANlZED.
Meeting Held Wednesday Prof. Joe Reitano Secured for
 Instructor.

X meeting was held Monday night by several of the Members Of the Forrest City Concert Band, an organi- zation which was formed here few years ago, and which had brief and uncertain existence. At the meeting Monday it was decided to get to- gether on Wednesday night, at which time Prof Joe Reitano leader of the Wynne Concert Band, promised to be present, and make arrangements for a permanent organization. This was done and on Wednesday evening, the boys assembled about twenty strong and proceeded 10 form an organiza- tion by electiDg John L. Pope, as president and business manager, and Walter Stevens as secretary and treasurer.
 Following is the roster of the or ganization as it now stands, together with the instruments each will play:
 Clarionets-W. A. Pope, Walter Stevens, Win Fondren, Fred kimi- neur. Saxophones-Beatty Thomas, Ben Lewis. Cornets-Ed Wolf, Joe W9rleY. Baritone John L. Pope. Drums-Jas. L. Alley, Gazzola Vac caro. Altos Frank Folbre, Gerald Folbre, Will McMickles. Trombone Jas. Fondren Tuba-Will Brown.
 MT. Paul Pope, who has of late been employed in the Marine Band at New York, and in several notable military and concert bands, is ex pected to be at home about the 10th of this month, and to give some yalu- able assistance to the boys in their efforts.
 Practice evenings have been fixed for Tuesdays and Friday nights, at which time Prof Reitano, will be present. The ladies of the city are requested 10 bear these dates in mind, when fixing dates far any en- tertainments which they may have in mind, so that the dates will not conflict.
 The boys already have their instru- ments and uniforms. and intend to get down at once to real hard work to make the band a success and are much encouraged over the outlook. Prof. Raitano is tie leader of the Wynne Concert Band. an organiza- tion which has won fame and success wherever il has appeared, not only in Arkansas, but by being made the official band of the Arkansas on Wheels train, is fame having been carried over large section of coun- try trayersed by that enterprise.

DELICATE CHILDREN
Made Strong by Vinol


 T wish I could induce every moth. CT who has delicate, sickly child. to try your delicious cod liver iron tonic. Vinol.
 Tt restored our little daughter to health and strength after everything else had failed. It tastes so good she loved to take it-not bit of cod liver oil taste.-Mrs. c. W. Stump, Canton. Ohio"
 The reason Vinol Is so successful In building up puny. delicate. ailing children, is because it is a combina- tion of the two most world-famed ton ics-the medicinal bodybuilding ele- ments of cod liver oil. aided by the blood-making and strength-creating properties of tonic iron.
 If we can induce you 10 try bottle Of Vinol as a body-builder and strength-creator for your child, and you do not find it is all We claim. we will return your money on demand.

The Times has been requested to call the attention of our readers and the public generally to the fact that a heavy penalty attaches for the of fense of leaving any carcass or carrion unburied in any field within a certain distance Of public road. Such prac- tice, aside from causing very ofren- siye odor, is dangerous to health, and in several instances has caused runa- way accidents. We are instructed by the authorities to state that such cases will be looked after closely in the future, and all violations will be dealt with to the full extent of the law.

THE BATTLE OF THE WATERS.

The past week or ten days has wit messed titanic battle waged be- tween the leyee engineers and the turbulent swollen tide of the sulen Father of Waters, which seems de termined 10 show it's contempt for the puny barriers that it's earth born antagonists have presumed to raise against him. Iris an old, old story, one that began when first the white man set his eyes upon the fertile lands that border the mighty stream yet 1t is a story that k ever new and never done Rich recompense the river valleys pay in bounteous yields to the hasbandman hand, but for the product they yield the river exacts it's toll. The engineers il charge, have put up d game and stub born fight. There has been no Shirking. how hard fight it has been will perhaps never be known. However Il ends, those in charge, will have the satisfaction of knowing that they have done their best, and that il was held far beyond any stage of water, that they had any precedence to ex- pect. The 1912 flood will go down in history, and should the St. Francis levee hold, victory will have been won that will be worth a hundred fold what the grim dirt banks have cost-in money, political strife. worry. and all. And should the worst come. at least, valuable lesson will have been taught-that the old Mississippi IS no respecter of precedent that higher flood levels will have to be looked for, ana that the leyees will have to be built higher and stronger year by year. There's no such thing as stopping now. It's fight 10 the death Engineering skill against muddy old turbulent stream, which In its periodical outbursts is apt t0I sweep aside all barriers raised to curb its headlong way. Go To il, It's game that's well worth the candle, and anyway, it's too late 10 quit now
 Of course, it is our honest opinion that the leNee should be built, owned and controlled by the Federal author ities, and that the Federal treasury should pay for their upkeep, or in much greater measure relieve the burdens ef those who are dependent upon them for protection-Bu that's another story.
 As We write narrowing rUmors nil the air. However the fight ends whether or not the levee holds, and of course, we hope it does. our hats are oil to the leyee board and their men who are out on tie firing line. putting up heroic fight against the biggest water that ever came down the valley.
