Good "Ad" For Richmond.

Under a well-printed picture of the
public square of Richmond, the Chris
tian Science Monitor. published at Bos-
ton, contain the following concerning
the best iiItle city in all Kentucky:
This city of 1000 people is located in
the heart of the Bluegrass region. 1t is
a seat of learning, containing the East
ern Kentucky State Normal school and
the Madison Institute for girls, as well
as an excellent city school. 1t is in a
rich farming section, exporting fine
cattle, horses and livestock Of all kinds.
1t is also the center of the tobacco grow
ing industry, and has two large ware
houses, which sell annually 10000, ,Oo0
pounds of leaf The town is located in
a historical section, where much Of the
early frontier Indian fighting occurred.
In the Main square is the statue of a
pioneer, with a public fountain, reared
by David r. Francis, of Missouri, in
honor Of this, his birthplace. The court
house lawn is decorated with slab Of
stone on which squire Boone carved his
name in the latter part of The eighteenth
century. The business and residence

Chance to Win Gold Medal.

A gold medal to the school boy or gir
between the ages of 10 and 10 who writes
the best composition, not to exceed 500
words. on the repair and maintenance
of earth roads, is to be warded by L6gar
Waller Page, Director, Office of Public
Roads, United States Department ol
Agriculture, Washington, d C. All
compositions must be submitted TO Mr.
Page before May Is, 1918, and the media
will be awarded as soon thereafter as
compositions can be graded. The com
position may be based on knowledge
gained from books or other sources, but
no quotations should be made.
After many years experience in deal
ing with the public road situation Of
the country, it is Mr.. Pages belief that
ignorance on the subject Of repair and
maintenance of roads is as much the
cause of their bad condition as any other
one factor. 1t is expected that the COM
petition will bring about better under
derstanding of the subject of repair and
maintenance in the rural districts.
Many children living in the rural
districts have experienced the disadvan
tages of roads made impossible through
lack Of proper maintenance and it is
expected that their interest in the COM
petition will stimulate greater interest
among the parents. bad roads have
prevented many children from obtain
ing proper education and have even
prevented doctors from reaching the
side of rural patients in time to save
their lives:
Any child between the ages mention
ed, attending a country school, may
compete. Only. one side of the paper
must be written on; each pape should
be numbered; the name, age, and ad-
dress of the writer, and the name and
location OF the school which he or she
is attending must be plainly written at
the top of the first page. The annouce-
ment of the competition has been sent
to the superlntendents of schools in the
rural districts. No further information
can be obtained from the Office of Pub
lie Roads This announcement should
be plain TO everyone, and all children
win thus start on basis of equality.

Bond-Secured Currency.

During the Civil War the Federal
Government found itself upon the verge
Of bankruptcy. 1t could not find mar
ket for its bonds. In that emergency il
decided to create market by making
the bonds the basis Of note issues by the
National banks. Issues by State banks
we're made impossible through the i'm
position Of 10 per cent. tax. 1t was an
arbitrary decision, and it created an ar
tifcial market, but it was justified by
the extremity OF distress in which the
Government was then involved.
The situation which justified that
unusual step has long since passed. The
bonds of the United States are now sal
able anywhere. No other great nation
has so small per capita Government
debt. No other civilized nation has
such banking system. 1t is the cause
of the inextricable confusion between
commercial and Investment banking. 1t
is in part the cause Of the vast end dan
gerous concentration of money power
and money credit in Wall Street.
We should reform our currency sys
TEN along with our banking system. We
should supplant our present crazy-quilt
currency with a unified and flexible
medium of exchange, based primarily
on gold.

Committee
Is Selected

At the meeting of the Maui
Athletic Association that was held
last Friday evening, a suggestion
was made that a committee of five
be appointed to handle other kinds
of sports-outside of baseball.
Tennis, bowling, basketball, golf,
swimming and football were men
oned and the S cheme is to have
thesesports worked up and matches
arranged from time to time.
President l.. NJ. Baldwin was
asked to select a committee and, in
a letter to secretary, WE. Crockett,
he named the following gentlemen:
H. w, Rice, V. L. Stevenson, w.
+. Bal, Sr. w. S. Mountcastle and
j.. 7. Fantom.
The new committee is to work
UP interest in other sports besides
baseball, and each member of the
committee will have some special
sport to look after.

Invite
Nippon Nine

On Wednesday morning last
there was a meeting of the finance
committee of the Maui Athletic
Association and at it Harold Rice
presided. There were other mem
bers of the association present, and
a general discussion of the subject
of raising money to pay the way of
the All Maui ball team while in
Honolulu next February, was
carried ON.
The first suggestion was that
money be raised by popular sub
scription, but that was soon knock
ed OH the head. The scheme then
suggested was that the Maui AS
sociation invite the famous Japanese
team, the Asahis, to visit Maui,
and play three games against All
Maui. The first game to be play
on Christmas Day, the second on
Sunday, December 2S and the
third game OH New Years Day.
1t is thought that a good sum of
money will, by these means, be
obtained and that the series of
games will also prove to be very
interesting.
The Asahi ball team is a fast
aggregation and should prove a
good drawing card when sent up
against the pick of Maui. The
Japanese of Paia, Puunene and
Wailuku will be sure to attend in
force and can be relied upon to get
up roofing squads for their side.

SoIons Do
Much Work

While the County Solons were
sitting for their regular monthly
meeting, they got through a large
amount of work. Reports of all
kinds were received and bills were
passed, to be paid when money is
available.
vThe matter of new road, which
it is proposed to build in the Pau
wela Homestead district, and which
will connect with that road just
completed by Contractor Foss, was
taken up. The new road is to join
the main government road, below
the Haiku cannery, at the railroad
crossing. The plans and specifica-
tions were orderd to be sent to the
Commissioner of Public Lands.
A new rule was made regarding
the county automobile used by the
engineer. The machine is to be
stored in the county garage in
future, and all supplies may be OBJ
tained there for the car.
DR.. McConkey, government ply
sician at Makawao, was informed
that there is no money at present
available for repairs to school build
ings. Some repairs to buildings
and Improvements to grounds are
badly needed, but they will have to
wait till the county finances are
stronger than at present.
1t having been reported to the
board that certain automobiles
which are in the rent service at
Hama, are in an unsafe condition,
it was decided to pay the steamer
fare of the auto inspector, in order
that he may proceed to Hama and
inspect the cars.
The county engineer was instruct
ed to draw up a plan for the pro-
posed new morgue at the Malulani
Hospital. The morgue is declared
to be necessity, and the board OF
health calls for it. The building
will cost about $500, and the county
engineer was authorized to do the
job either by day labor or by con.
tract, as he may see fit.

Especial Correspondence. ]

HONOLULU, Nov. 21.-I spoke
to u gentleman on Monday night
after he had returned on the Siberia
from the coast. Regarding tariff
troubles he said in San Francisco
there was little to show that the
fear of the tariff had affected busi-
ness in any way over there; the
streets and the stores were crowded
and every one seemed prosperous,
but to attempt to get loan from a
bank was out of the line of success.
The banks are loaning little or
nothing and that, of course, makes
business difficult for some Of the
people whose trade is larger than
their capital, or who wish to in
crease business without sufficient to
go ahead with. Almost the same
condition exists here. The military
has done this year what sugar did
for 50 many years before. Some of
the agencies are seeing that the re-
serve funds or surplus of their res
pective companies, grow. There
seems to be no need of irrigation
now for, in many instances, the
companies have been SO watered
that they will not stand an increase.
| heard a sugar man say the other
day that Eva is piling up a surplus,
by holding back dividends that
will be a surprise when the time
comes for cutting the melon, if one
is to be cut. And the stock is sell
ing at $14. If we ever have 4 Sbso-
lutely free sugar, some of the plan
tations will go under because there
is a likelihood, under tariff eondi.
tions to bring sugar below three
cents, figure at which few OF them
can pay dividend. l had letter
from coast friend the other day
asking what he should do with II,
c. and s.; if the conditions here
warranted his holding on or letting
go. Few men could advise under
the circumstances for at most it is Q
speculation; will it or will it not be

pei me to say | hae me doots. Let

Kihei Wharf
Is Finished
Difficult Contract Brought To a
Successful End-Now
Ready.

Hugh Howell, the contractor
and engineer, reports that the
Kihei wharf is finished and that
boats from the InterIsland steamers
can call there whenever a change
in the schedule is announced. The
lob of extending the wharf has
been a tough one, as the most un-
expected difficulties were met with
when it came to driving the con-
crete piles. Not only coral was
encountered when the driving was
in progress, but hard rock that
seemed for time to defy the efforts
of the contractor, made the contract
a difficult one to complete within
the specified time-even with an
extension allowed.
For years, the Kihei boat land
ing idea has been before the people
of Maui and, at last it took OH the
aspect of joke. That matter was
never mentioned except with a
laugh. Then the proposition was
again revived seriously and, within
a few months, the bids were ad-
vertised for and the contract was
awarded.
McGregor' Landing will pro-
badly be abandoned-at least dur
ing bad weather-and the next
thing needed, in some peoples S
opinion, is direct auto road from
Kihei landing to Puunene Avenue
thus enabling the passengers from
the steamers to reach Kahului and
other places in easy fashion.

Much Water
Is Needed

Wailuku will have for some time,
the same system of electric lighting
the streets as prevailed in October.
The board of supervisors passed a
resolution to that effect at its last
meeting.
The board also dealt with another
electric light proposition, and it
was the application of the Island
Electric Company to obtain permis-
sion to extend its present pole and
wire system over an alleged high
way running east and north of the
Vasconsalves home at Kahului. II
was decided to defer action till it is
ascertained whether the land was
intended to be opened as a public
highway or not.
Water was another thing that was
talked over by the board. Superin-
tendent w. E. Bal, Jr., who was
present at the meeting, stated that
the amount of water necessary tc
supply the towns of Wailuku and
Kahului for the fiscal year 1914,
will be not less than 100, 900, ,00C
gallons. The county clerk was in,
structed to notify the Wailuku
Sugar Company that 60,00O,00C
gallons of water would be needed
for the year 1914.

H. w. Rice Is
Elected Mgr
Maui Athletic Association Selects
Two Well Known Men To
Act.

There was a meeting of the Maui
Athletic Association last Friday
night, and at it some important
business was transacted. A man
ager for the All-Maui baseball team
and a captain of the same were
elected. Harold w. Rice, of Paia,
was elected manager and there
was no opposition to the proposal.
There was a small argument as to
whether Mr.. Rice would accept the
position or not, but the telephone
being brought into use, the affair
was soon settled by Mr.. Rice stat
ing that he would accept the posi-
ton if offered him. The members
unanimously elected Mr.. Rice as
soon as it was known that he would
take the job. The choice of Mr..
Rice was thought to be a happy
one, as he is a good sportsman
who stands high in the estimation
of all the people of Oahu, where
the Maui team is to battle it out
during February next.
The election of a captain result
ed in George Cummings being
given the position. 1t was felt
that Cummings gets along better
with the players than anyone else
possibly could. He knows them
all and they look up to George as
the man who knows all about the
game. The election of Mr.. Cum
mings was unanimous, and every
one felt that the best man possible
to obtain had been elected.
The question of uniforms, etc,
for the Maui team was put up to a
finance committee of three. This
committee will find out what is
needed in the way of an outfit, and
then will get busy and raise the
necessary money.

Moose Hop
Was Good

One of the most successful public
dances of the season, was that held
in the Lahaina Armory last Satur-
day night when over two hundred
people attended the Moose Drill
hop. Forty masqueraders were in
costume, and most of the characters
were well kept up. The music was
good, the floor was in fine condition,
and the refreshments were Of the
sort that pleased everybody.
There were prizes offered for the
best costumes, and they were award
ed as follows: Best sustained
character, George Freeland, who
was made up as a fur hunter. His
costume was excellent and he easily
gained the first prize. The prize
for the most comical character was
awarded to Glenn Crowell and little
Miss Maria Tallant Crowell. They
were attired as plantation darkies-
Glenn as the wench and the little
girl as the man.
j. Garcia, who was robed as a
Partisan hobble skirt lady, was a
scream and he well deserved the
prize that was awarded him. Many
Wailuku people were present and
most of them came home in the
early hours of the morning.

Hare
Back Again

Postal Inspector Hare has been
on Maui for a few days. He came
up principally to work up the
system of postal repositories which
the Washington people are install
ling i'll many towns and cities of
the United States.
Inspector Hare was located in
Honolulu for some years but, one
year ago, was transferred to Cali
fornia where he had charge of a
large tract of country. He was
constantly on the move and spent
most of his time in trains and auto
mobiles. Tiring of the mainland,
when his year was up, Mr.. Hare
asked for a transfer back to Hawaii.
He is now a fully fledged member
of the Come Back Club and his
many friends all over the islands
are glad of the fact.
The postal repositories are caus-
ing a lot of money to be put into
active circulation, and coins and
bills that have been buried in back
yards for a long time, are being
dug up and deposited with Uncle
Sam who, in turn, places the money
in the local banks, where it soon
finds itself into general circulation.

Brutes Are
Sentenced

On Wednesday last the Grand
Jury met and investigated three
cases. True bills were returned in
each case and, as two men appeared
in court and plead guilty, they were
sentenced at once by Judge Kings
bury, to no less than five and no
more than ten years imprisonment.
These were the men who were mixed
up in the Puunene outrage on a
young girl. AS the girl is said to
be more than twelve years Of age, a
more serious charge was dropped
by the County Attorney.
The other true bill was in con-
nection with the stabbing which
occurred at lao Valley, some weeks
ago. The defendant waived jury
trial and vel appear in court next
Tuesday.
The trial jury will not be sum
moned again this term, it is
thought, and the jurors can now
attend to their private occupations
without any further interruption
until next term Of court.
