Arthur D. Baldwin of Cleveland

this morning. The convention, which
is an important one, will be in ses-
sion in Cleveland from June IL to 10.
! The rest of the morning was spent
in adjusting land and loan fund mat
tiers and finishing up the routine
work. Secretary Mott-Smita was
closeted with the governor during the
first part of the morning while he re-
ceived final instructions.

the governor this morning, although

homesick at first"

possible to join my wife, but after that

there is a good market to be found IN
Australasia for all grades of tobacco
that Hawaii can produce. According t.
him, practically no tobacco at all il

factory product Great quantities Of
the weed are consumed, however, most
of which is imported from America.
The fact that the local growers
have experienced some difficulty in
moving their crop through New York,
Mr. Simmons intimated, might be due
to other things than the quality Of
the product offered. The ways of the
American tobacco trust, he limited,
are not always plain to the outsider

sums in an effort to build up a new
industry in the Territory.

OF WORK
IS MATERIALIZING

The work of enlisting advocates
and hackers for the projected voca.
tional school is progressing rapidly
and members of the Territorial
Teachers Association report no oppo.
sition and say that in many instances
they have even had offers of finan.
cial assistance.
Yesterday afternoon the central
committee of the association met and
made report of what had been done
toward obtaining financial and moral
support for the projected institute,
The report of each principal was
substantially the same-no opposition
to the plan and offers of financial
backing in several instances. Pro-
fessor NJ. M. Scott was elected chair
man of the committee and Professor
]. c. Davis, secretary.
Formal report of the committees
findings will be submitted to the com
missioners at their next meeting.

BEGINNING OR END.

A lot of people in the world enjoy
going away for the weekend and a
majority of those who live in Homo
lulu select Haleiwa as the best place
for a change of climate and environ

and shows judgment but there is no
reason for confirming it to the week
end. There is just as good a climate
at the beginning of the week and the
water is just as fine The beach is

Prospect Street.
D. L. wilmington, o. c. Swain and
c. G. Owen appeared before the board
to remind it of promises regarding
the repairing of Prospect street.
Chairman Dwight did not think the
alleged agreement was for such a
high class road as that stated. Mr..
wilmington urged the fact that Pros.
pect street would be merged with the
avenue that was to run through Ka-
piolani tract and therefore would
have to sustain heavy traffic.
The matter being referred to En-
gineer Whitehouse to make plans, he
asked if funds were available for the

engineer that he had nothing to dc
with funds, as his duty was merely to
do what the board told him. White

IN A GOOD CAUSE,

With the many calls upon the pock etbook at thia season of the year, it is well ts remember that there are hundreds who are going to pass through the Christmas season, to whom much joy and pleasure can be given by slight remembrances, which may be In the form of gifts of needy things or something extra in the way of food for the Christmas dinner. Whatever effort Is made in making such con- tributions is done in worthy cause and through whatever agency 1t goes, be 1t the City Mission, the Salvation Army or by personal visit it can be assured that 1t reaches deserving and appreciative homes.
 Particular stress Is laid upon this work by the Salvation Army at Christ mastide and throughout the country that great organization is today busy in gathering contributions to help cheer the poor in whatever city a branch is located. They are in touch through personal investigation with the homes where their efforts are most needed, and in planning to furnish dinners to deserving families, their work offers the opportunity for gen eral participation whereby the num- Der thus helped and encouraged can be increased and the quality of the din- ner enriched. It should not be passed by in this charitable work. Every lit- tie contribution helps to swell the fund and the larger 1t Is the greater the good that will be done and the happier will Christmas be for everyone.

AUTOS IN POSTAL SERVICE.

With the inauguration of the parcels post tfDe first of the month there will come the demonstration as to the amount of business which the offices will be required to handle and the re- quirements for the handling thereof. While it may be somewhat slow in starting generally it is bound to in crease rapidly as time goes on and one of the important details in con- nection herewith is going to be the method of handling the packages. On the rural routes vehicles are already provided and this city has one mount ed carrier, but it is evident that it will be necessary to secure a vehicle of some sort for the delivery of the packages, particularly if there are many of them weighing eleven pounds apiece.
 Before the service has developed much 1t will be apparent that an im- portant factor therein will be the mo- tor truck, and there will in many in stances be demand for them at the start. The systems in Europe are in variably carried on by motor trucks or automobiles and it is bound to be so here. They will permit of the quick est and best service and one could do the business of several horses. It is sure to bring about important changes in the postal service and 1t is not too much to anticipate that the success of the autos in such service will result in their adoption on rural delivery routes. With the steady i'm provement in the highways still an- other inducement in that direction is offered.
