hOmeSteaderS
Want Roads

w. O. Aiken presented a peti-
ton from the Haiku homesteaders
to the Maui Chamber of Commerce,
an Wednesday last. The petition
ers prayed that the association help
them to get roads into their home
steads. From $40, 900 to SIS,
600 in needed to build the roads.
Aiken explained that there is no
money available for such roads at
present. Later on roads will be
built to the tracts, but that may be
three years from now. The idea
was to try and get the legislature
to advance money for roads and to
pay the amount back in the future.
1t was moved and seconded that
the legislative committee take the
matter up. The Chamber went on
record as endorsing the petition.

Are
Heavily Fined

Judge Mckay is determined to
put down automobile speeding and
this week he has inflicted some
stiff fines in cases where the evidence
was sufficient to convict the speed
fiends.
Two japanese, who had engaged
in an auto race along the public
highway, were arrested and taken
to court. The evidence was very
clear and the witnesses to the affair
swore that both the chauffeurs were
going at racing speed.
The Maui "Oldfelds" were
soaked S75 each and costs. 1t is
safe to assume that racing on the
public roads will not be very popu-
lar in future among the chauffeurs
of the district,
The police department is doing
good work in the way of keeping
tab on careless chaufIeurs and he
probabilities are that some more
drivers will be summoned to court
before long.

Hotel Matters
Discussed
kahuIui HOstelry will Be Built In
Near Future-Want HaIeakaIa
Road First.

AT the regular monthly meeting
of the Maui Chamberaof Commerce,
held last Wednesday, the report of
the committee appointed to investi-
gate the Kahului and Haleakala
hotel projects, was read by Chair
man w. O. Aiken. The substance
of the report was that while the
Kahului hotel will, some time III
the future, be built, the Haleakala
hostelry proposition will not be
taken up till good road is con-
structed to the summit.
A committee composed of w. o..
Aiken, w. H. Field and J. N. S.
Williams met last Monday at Ka-
hului The hotel matter was then
considered, and the result was that
a site containing two acres has been
selected for an hotel. The block is
near the Claudine wharf, and some
filling will have to be done before
the land will be ready for building
on.
1t was the opinion of the com-
mittee that an hotel, run i'll CON
junction with a Wailuku house
would be made to pay-if a liquor
license were granted. Mr.. Field
said that he would be willing to
take over the hotel under these
conditions.

HONOLULU, Jan. 10.-Death'
has been robbed of its sting; the
grave is its own victim for Henry
Williams has cast aside his mourn
ing clothes and goes now to frtnerals
in sombcr grey, even to his socks.
I'll confess surprise at the trans
formation of the man with an i'm
perceptable smile, from what al
ways reminded me as death on the
pale horse, to a frivolous young
Chesterfield, a symphony in lighter
vein where we formerly looked for
the long frock coat of blackest
black. Never having tried, | am
not competent witness, but | am
of opinion that one may now look
forward with pleasure rather than
pain at the prospects of dissolution.
The dread has disappeared with the
mourning clothes of Henry, and
one may walk the street at any time
from this date and feel sure, as a
funeral approaches, that Funeral
Director Williams will be neither
on the hear8e or in the first cab;
with the change in sartorial affairs
comes an automobile with the di-
rector following, instead of leading
the van. If you have any friends
in the business put them on to the
latest in funerals, 50 that Maui folks
will not have to come to Honolulu
to be in the swim. Mr.. Williams

There was no hustle or excitement
when, on Monday last, the old
board of Maui supervisors stepped
out of office, and were at once sue
ceeded by themselves shat is with
the exception of the chairman, w.
F. Pogue, who gave way to the new
Supervisor at large S. E. Kalama.
The change in solons was made
without any fuss and the retiring
board did not throw any bouquets to
its successors. Mr.. Pogue, on
the stroke of noon, arose from his
chair and the rest of the supervisors
followed his example. The new
chairman then took his place at the
board, and the new supervisors were
then in charge of Maui affairs.
There was nothing much doing
on Monday or Tuesday, as the
board had to get organized properly
before proceeding with the County
business. However, later on in the
week, the solons got busy on many
matters, and the way things were
attended to, promise well for the
manner in which the County of
Maui will be looked after in the
future.
The new board will discuss the
milk ordinance and it is said that
many changes will be made in the
bill. The old board passed the
buck" to the new board and that
is the status of things at present.
Many reports were read and
action on them was, in most cases,
left for the board to take. The dis

That the people of Maui will be
glad to hear that the new landing

membered by people who have had
to land at that dangerous place.
The Kihei landing will be CON

Many tons of crushed rock are now

Maui Sheriff
Gets Praise
Federal Authorities Commend Work
In Connection With Robbery
Other Police Matters.

Sheriff Crowell has received let
ter of appreciation and thanks from
the United States Marshal in Homo
lulu. The Federal authorities are
delighted with the rapid way in
which the Maui sheriff got hold of
the Filipino burglars who robbed
the Kipahulu post office. The burg
lars are now in Honolulu, where
they will stand their trial for the
kffense against the Federal govern
\ 'ent.
Sheriff Crowell is busy man
Just at present, and he has several
cases to attend to. The Filipino
who was so badly assaulted 10y a
band of his countrymen at Hama
kuapoko, last week, is recovering
rapidly. He was cut up in an aw-
full fashion, and it was at first
thought that he could not possibly
live. However, DR.. McConkey has
done fine work in patching the Fill
pino up, and the little brown
brother" will soon be able to appear
in court and testify against his as
sailants, two of whom are now in
Jail.
Manuel Martins, Jr., who is held
for investigation by the grand jury,
on charge of mahslaughter, has
been released on bail of 81 900.
The bail had to be set by the Chief
Justice of Hawaii, as the only other
person able to do so-Judge Kings

present.

FEED THE son
PROPER FOOD
BY 8. D. SNYDER, Iowa State
COLLEGE.

College.
Under ordinary conditions, with
proper management in this country"
says Prof. w. H. Stevenson of Iowa
State college, I'VE should be able to
grow so bushels of wheat, 100 bushels
of corn, so to 100 bushels of. oats,
and four tons Of clover hay per acre"
He also claims that the amount Of
plant food in the soil does not indi-
cate the size of the crop grown on
that soil. 1t only shows the ability
of that soil to produce maximum
crops.
The size of the crop produced de.
ponds directly upon the rate at which
the plant food in the soil is set free
This liberation can be controlled by
the farmer by means of three factors,
namely, by use of limestone, organic
matter and by tillage Limestone is
very important factor in the lib
Grating of plant food. 1t not only lib
crates plant food, but it also encour.
ages growth of bacteria on legumes
which take nitrogen from the air
Burned limestone can be applied to
the soil with very satisfying results
for few years. After the first few
years it leaves the soil in worn out
condition, and in worse physical con.
dition than it was at the beginning
The most desirable property of lime
stone is that it neutralizes the acids
formed in the SOIL
Organic matter is supplied to the
soil from three sources. First, old
crops residues; second, from green
cover crops; third, barnyard manures.
1t is known from experiment that the
decay of organic matter encourages
the liberation of plant food in the
soil Experimentalists have found that
OF the three kinds of above named or.
ganic matter, the green cover crop is
the most active. Two tons of green
clover. for instance, will take the
place of 20 tons of old crop residue,
and four tons of harnyard manure will
encourage liberation of plant food as
fast as 20 tons of the old residue.
Therefore the farmer has the reins
with which he can guide the manage.
ment of his farm to success or failure.
The tillage will be governed in
amount by the season. BY proper till
age, the ground will be properly Gre
ated and the moisture will be con-
served Many times fields Of corn have
yielded poorly simply because the
ground has not been worked to con
serve the moisture and keep out the
