Has it occurred to our Louisiana
farmers that With the raw mate
rial at hand for producing corn
fed beef and pork. sufficient to
supply the needs Of our State, We
arc paying moro for imported bssf
and pork than the entire value OF
our corn crop each year?
The appalling extravaganza prac
ticsd in slaughtering young cattle.
particularly heifsr calves, should
DO stopped. Every farmer should
make it a point to raise and fattsn
for market one steer or moro each
year.
An economic question is here
involved which has not only to do
with present profits, but the con-
serving of the fertility OF our soil.
1t has been brought to our at
tsntion by Mr.. Mason Snowden OF
the Federal Farm Demonstration
Department that there is scarcely
a grocery store in our State but is
selling meal aud grits made OF
western corn when, within the next
few weeks our planters will be
seeking a market for their "sur.
plus" corn.
Every locality which has beer
proven . surplus corn producing
territory. should have sufficient
local pride and business acumen tc
form q meal and grits milling
company, and supply tho local ant
district trade with Louisiana made
| meal and grits.
i The low percentage Of moisture
in we'll matursd Louisiana Corr
will permit much OF it to b.

midity of our climate on stors'

 s. 5. ATTENDANCE

That the Methodist church in this city is inadequate to accommodate the audiences which attend was vividly demonstrated yesterday at Sunday school, when 642 people were present. At the close of the exercises the pri- mary department, which meets in q building separate from the main building, and the Business Mems Class which meets in shed erected on the church lots, were requested to assemble in the main building. The large auditorium was soon filled to overflowing, the League room crowd ed to it's fullest capacity and large number of the smaller children were compelled to remain standing around the wall The attendance yesterday was probably the largest ever record ed by Sunday school in this city.

The Hawaiian Department is soon
to have a new organization -. pro-
visional ambulance company which
will act as an independent sanitary
unit, with station at Schofield Bar
racks It is expected that in time
this will be made permanent COM
pany, and that when increased TO full
authorized strength it will be one of
the most important auxiliaries to the
garrison of Oahu. -.
The tactical division, which the ar
my of Oahu may be considered when
all the troops are placed here, is en-
titled to two field hospitals and two
ambulance companies, but here the
radius of operations is so confined of
necessity. that no field hospital is con-
sidered necessary, the department
hospital at Shafter being within reach
of any point OF action where field
dressing stations would be establish
ed. A well-trained ambulance COM
pany is, however. of the utmost i'm
pOrtanCe, and the organization of a
provisional one is considered 4 long
step along the path of progress. -. ~.

The possible fate of Sesuke Mihara,
a japanese, run down by a party of
five youths in a car driven by Fred
McCarty, was deliberately discussed
while the joy riders sped through the
city streets prior to depositing the
unconscious body of the MANNED and
helpless Japanese in the desolate and

Fart of the city.
Such was the admission coming
from c.. l.. Asselyn. a member of the

and a little to the left Of the car.

Not Yet Settled

Extensive dealing in public con-
tracts by public officials, in violation
of Act 50 of the legislature of 1911,
may be uncovered here as the result
Of the recent disclosures in the case
of Supervisor Hardesty. II
The Star-Bulletin's publication of
the fact that Supervisor Hardesty, a
member of the road committee, was
employed on a city sidewalk job, led
yesterday afternoon to the discovery
of a similar and even more direct case
of public official being interested in
a public job. > '~.~ -
Auditor James Bicknell yesterday
afternoon held up two warrants call
ing for the payment of $62750 to
Manuel K. Cook of Honolulu. Man
uel Cook is chief clerk in the depart
ment of public works, and the war
rants were drawn to pay him for two
coal contracts he had been awarded
by the board of supervisors. In other
words, Mr.. Cook has been dealing in
city coal contracts. ...s
Auditor Bicknell referred the mat
ter to the city attorneys office for
an opinion as to whether the warrants
should be paid.
In view of the publication of the
facts in the Hardesty case and my
reading of Act 50 | do not feel like
passing these warrants" he said this
morning. The question involved is
that of public official dealing in a
city and county contract"
Two Warrants Held up .
The first warrant, No. 1861, calls
for the payment of $1S7.50 for fifteen
tons of coal sold by Cook to the city
and charged up to the Eva road 1is-

rollers on road work here.
The second warrant, No. 1891, calls

of coal sold by Cook to the city and
