WILL OPEN
NAT. BANK
AT PAIA

On July I the First National
Bank of Paia will open for business
that is if the plans now suggested
can be carried out. The scheme
has been underway for a long time
past, but it required the return of
Mr.. G. d. Lufkin to finally settle
things.
The bank is capitalized at $685.
600 and is, of course, National
concern. The management will be
the same as that of the Lahaina
National Bank, and the First Ma
tional Bank of Wailuku. A cashier
will be selected in the near future
and the bank will then be open for
business.
The location of the bank will be
adjacant to the telephone exchange
at Paia. A lease has been secured
on the property and efforts are be-
ing made to purchase the lot alto
gether, In the latter case the build
ing to be erected will be a concrete
one and will be a great improve
ment to Paia. Should the owners
of the lot not care to sell She land
O building of moderate size, but
with splendid vaults and burglar
proof safes, will be constructed.
The idea at present is that the
bank will be open for business on
July /. Unless there is some un-
accountable delay, the institution
will be in full swing on the date
mentioned. The management an
nounce that there is chance for a
young man of good character to
obtain a position in the new bank.
The shares are divided into 25C
shares Of 500 each, and limited
number will be issued to Maui peo-
pie. The directors of the bank will
be: c. H. Cooke, R. A. w ads.
worth, D. H. Case and J. Garcia.
1t is felt that the opening up of the
many homesteads at Haiku and
Pauwela has created demand fol
the establishment of bank at Paia
1t will facilitate the banking bust
ness of the homesteaders and will
save them long journeys to Other
banks.

Would Wait
For Report

When a communication from
Commissioner harrington of the
Education department was read at
he Chamber of Commerce meeting
on Thursday, it was seen that the
members did not favor the proposed
scheme very much. That is to say,
that the members thought that the
fact that a special legislative COM
mittee is now investigating the
school system, should be remem-
bered.
The communication from Mr..
Harrington asked that the Maui
Chamber of Commerce endorse the
plan for Vocational Schools, ="
which institutions are intended to
connect the boy with the job. y
The idea is to have more manual
and industrial schools and to, even
tually, develope agricultural high
schools. An appropriation of $75-
900 per annum is to be asked for
on behalf of the proposed schools.
J. N. S. Williams told the cham
Der that the committee appointed
to look into school matters had not
yet, so far, turned in a report. He
said it would be premature to act
at just now. At present the esti-
mate for the next two years run
ming of schools amounted to
2,OS6, 900. To add $4,000 to
that amount would increase the
burden.
I think the Board of Education
is barking up the wrong tree al
present. 1t will be better to dc
nothing till the report of the edu-
cation committee comes in and is
properly digested," concluded Mr.
Williams. A motion to table the
communication for the present was
passed.

Aloha Dance
For 81. Ms"

On Thursday evening last there
was a splendid function at Kahului,
and it took the nature of a dance
and farewell to Mr.. and Mrs. j. N.
S. Williams, who are leaving Maui
after a long residence on the island.
The dance was given by the en-
ployees of the railroad and other
members of the clubhouse. The
Kahului Lyceum was taken over
and the entertainment took place
there.
The decorations were the best
ever seen on Maui and streamers of
ferns and different colored lights
made the scene look like fairy land.
Flags were used to good effect, and
a unique feature of the decorations
was the use of festoons of ii leaves
which were fastened all abou. the
spacious hall, just above the heads
of the people seated along the sides.
The floor was in perfect condition
and the music was good. Over fifty
couples took part in the dance and
another one hundred and fifty sat
around the hall. An exhibition of
the Turkey Trot" by Miss Won
Tempsky and Kenny Smith was
watched by an interested crowd of
people, The whole affair went off
with eclat, and the hosts who work.
ed so hard to make the dance such
a success, deserve all the credit pos
sible. The aloha that the Kahului
people have for Mr.. and Mrs. Will
liams was clearly shown on Thurs
day evening. Mrs. Williams, who
is in Honolulu, was unable to be
present at the dance.

King Very
Much Alive

When last week the news came
through that Charlie" King, the
well known school principal, had
been killed through an auto accid-
ent, all Maui was shocked but still
people could not think the story
true. There had been no wireless
to the effect that King was dead,
and the newspaper story from Ho-
nolulu was rather meager.
However, the real facts of the
case are now known and the Rev.
Mr.. Judd, who returned from
Hawaii the other day, can vouch
for the fact that Mr., King is still in
the land of the living.
1t appears that Mr.. King did meet
with an accident, but it was through
falling from the roof of house up
on which he had been working.
Slipping in some way, Mr., King
fell to the ground and broke his
right arm at the wrist. He had a
narrow escape from breaking his
neck, and got a severe shaking up.
Kings many friends will be glad
to hear that the story of his death
was grossly exaggerated" /"

Good Tennis
At Kahului

Down at Kahului the Married
VS.. Single tennis tournament is
goiug along in good style. The
greatest interest is being taken in
the affair, and the players are
rapidly getting into excellent con-
dition and form. The matches are
causing much excitement, and
some of the new players have
shown up as "comers."
During the week several matches
were played. The struggles were
brought off after work and, con-
sequently, all the people of Kahu-
lui who are interested in tennis
have been able to attendat the
courts.
f, R. Bevins and J. J. Walsh,
two of the best Benedict players,
took the measure of DR.. Aiken and
Bob Hughes during the week. The
first named pair won 6-2, 6-2.
w. Engle and Duval met and
defeated w. Walsh and and Perry,
and the score panned out at 6-1,
6-2. There were some fine rallys in
this 90 and the match was closer
than the score would indicate.
Gordon and Doig also went up
against McNicoll and Ed. Walsh.
The first named couple beat the
Others by tally of OIL, Ga. Doig
is a veteran player who, years ago,
played in the first fight of racket
wielders in Scotland. He shows
all the earmarks of man who, at
one time, was able to hold his own
with most players.
Other matches played during the
week were: McNicoll and Ed.
Walsh against Duval and Engle.
One set each was won, and the
score showed that while the first
named pair won 6.2, they lost 6-3
in the second set. Duval and En-
gle had better luck in their next
match, as they beat w. w. Walsh
and Perry 6-1, 6-2. H. B. Weller
and A. c. Rattray beat McNicoll
and Z. Walsh in one set, score 6-3

WRITES eyes"
BY William Hodge,

"The Road to Happiness"
"Shan the actor marry?"
You might as well ask: "Shall a

For the first requisite of good citi-
zenship is the founding of a family

The idea that the actor who is
married will not appeal to the matt
nee audiences is all rot"
Joe Jefferson was married; Edwin
Booth was married, and the actor
whose personality is supposed espe-

Robert Edeson, has been married
twice!
The actor who is married and is
the father of children is the better
actor. He has known love in its
highest and best sense and he real
ICES the responsibility that love en-
tails.
There is only detriment to the
actor as a married man, and that is
that he cannot always be with his
wife and family. But in this particu-
lar his lot is shared by explorers,
naval officers and the vast army of
commercial travellers. |
But for fifteen weeks in the year he
can give up his work and devote him
self entirely to his family and play.
He can partly make up for the long
absence. |
The time has gone by when we
think the actor is sui generis. He is
just human-just man and a talent

Suspended Animation

through his arteries.
And yet the fact remains that, as
far as we can determine, suspended
animation. for the victim himself.
is equivalent to death, and if 1t is
allowed to pass into what we call
real death there is nothing in his
experience to indicate any further
change. AS a personality he suf-
fered death when his consciousness

remains for time in the different
organs and parts of the body, but
it is not the thing which we, as

WORSE THAN ABSURD"

Editor The Georgian:
It is with deepest appreciation
that l have just read your article,
General Sickles and an Absurd
Offer From q Southerner."
When / read the offer in the
press reports, it "struck me" as
being worse than absurd-if sin
cere, certainly both unwise and
positively wrong.
To say nothing of Wringing small
sums Of money from poor Southern
soldiers Though | think there is no
danger) for a man far away in
New York city, who would be
taken care of by his friends and
neighbors if there was any merit in
his case, the greatest curse of our
day is this very thing-landing the
poor fellow who steals a chicken or
melon behind the bars and in chains
for the limit, while the big fellows
are communicated with through en-
graVed invitations and in an apollo
getic way by officers of the law.
If a man at this age is mentally
irresponsible, his friends should
not have entrusted him with the
funds; if he has since become so,
they should grant a pardon on this
ground But neither age nor po-
sition should stand between the
law and the deliberate violator of
law-this is the curse OF our land
today.

APPROVES SENSIBLE VIEW,

kdltOr The Georgian:
When public sentiment in Geor-
gia and the South is sounded in
reference to the veterans Of the
Confederacy raising $4,000 in be-
half of General Daniel f. Sickles.
of New York, to pay his alleged de-
talcattons, you will find that your
editorial Of the 29th reflects the
sentiment Of our land The other
idea is sentimental and has no just
foundation in right. It IS not right
for the ragged veterans" OF the
South to give that amount Of
money or any amount to save Dan
iel f. Sickles from imprisonment
He has been well cared for in the
past and but for his extravagances
would have plenty today. You are
right, Mr.. Editor, that the veterans
Of the South will not do this thing
If SiCkles were a poor man and
suffering in a righteous cause, then
you could count on a noble response
to call for help. | heartily ap-
prove your patriotic and sensible
view. w. Q. BUTLER.
