$4,000 instead Of $4,000 pounds per
month, and probably a corresponding
increase in mutton will also be re-
quired.
The price for beef this year was
97s cents per pound, with cents for
mutton; but cost of living is increas-
ing, and Uncle Sam is realizing this
as keenly as anybody, when it comes
to buying food for his army and navy.
1t may be some days before the re-
suit of the mainland bids are known,
and the contract awarded, so of
course it is not certain yet that the
Hawaii Meat Company has landed the
contract at it's advanced figures.
1t is probable that a considerable
part of the meat which will be sup
piled, in case the contract is secured
by the local firm, will be brought from
Australia or New Zealand, as is the
case at the present time.

How to Put
Tobacco On
Paying Basis

Jared G Smith, fresh from the
tobacco fields, was seen on Fort
street and asked about the tobacco
situation. He said:
"The tobacco situation is, that We
went into the business expecting i'm
mediate results, and the very best
prices for product absolutely unknown
to the trade. After four years we
find that the mere production Of a
good article does not necessarily sell
it. Those interested must advertise
their goods, and create a market.
We've got to fight to get a market,
and then fight to hold it, just as busi-
ness men must do in the case of every
other industry Furthermore, it is
going to take more time to get to-
bacco ready for selling than at first
thought. To the successful the re-

Over So per cent of the popula-

physicians or drug stores and they

To the women in these homes,

For nearly forty years this splen-
did medicine, compounded from

broke, precipitating him into the icy
waters up to his shoulders. Climbing
safely out of danger, Johnson hied him.
self to the cottage of fisherman who
resides nearby and sought shelter. Re
moving his clothes and hanging them
close to the stove, Johnson then placed
his shoes on top of the heating appa-
ratus and ensconced himself as close
to the stove as possible in order to
ward of any evil effects which might
follow in the wake of his unpremedi
tated immersion. When his clothes
had dried, a fat iron was found, and
efforts were made to put a crease in
the trousers.
SHOES ARE OVERCOME.
