KOHALA IS in
GOOD SHAPE

In spite of the drought that affect
cd the cane on kohala Sugar Com
paHyS plantation, like mostly all the
rest, Manager George c. Watt expects
TO take OF about as large a crop this
year as last. Last years crop on this
plantation, from 1924 acres, produced
! 1894 tons of sugar. an average OF
4.I9 tens to the acre. OF the acreage
stated, 33S acres were irrigated plant
ana 362 unirrigated plant, 302 acres
irrigated and 379 unirrigated ratOons,
IS acres short ratoons and 10 acres
of outside planters. Sixty-five acres
OF short ratoons, originally intended
to be harvested with this crop. were
left over to the 1913 crop, as the cane
was making a good growth and the
management was anxious to make
preparations for the new mill build
ing. The crop as it turned out was
129 tons more than the estimate of
the manager. -&s- -: ......: 49,. :
For the crop of 1913, estimated at
1865 tons, there are 1899 acres, of
which SO are irrigated and I'll I'M
irrigated plant cane, the rest being
ratoons of which sos acres are irri-
gated. For the 1914 crop there is an
AREA of 1897 acres, and good yield
of cane is expected, from il. Five
hundred acres are to be planted for
the 1915 crop. T.. III.
According to table of rainfall for
five years past, the lowest was that
rof last year-being 1916 inches at
the office and 1911 at $50 feet eleva-
ton. Deliveries of water by the Ko-
loIo - he f,la tot
lelow the full amount contracted for
during the summer months. The total
sor the year was 2,30S979.3S0 gallons,
against 2,431,t42,S61 fer 1911.
The general condition of the plan
tation is improving" says Manager
Watt. During the year we have
built seven new houses for laborers
and various additions. and enlarge
ments of others. We have also built
a new cane f1ume extending to the
Kapaau side of the plantation. The
largest expenditure on Improvements
and requirements has been in the
mill, of which mention was made in
last years report. The new steel
building has been practically complet-
ed and the arrangement of the clari-
fication and boiling house almost fin
ished. We have installed five new
six settling tanks and a
new juice heater to take the place
Of the old open CHARTERS. Nearly all
the piping and fittings are new.
The mill building and arrange
ment promise to be very satisfactory.
and certainly presentla great contrast
to the old firetrap we removed.
The weakest point in our present
equipment is our evaporation. 1t is
too small for the work we are doing.
Labor conditions have been fairly
good during the year.
From the balanceI sheet presented
by C. H. Anterior. treasurer, at the
annual meeting held at Castle &
Cookies this morning, it is seen that
the company has surplus of $780,
1886, the capital stock being $780,
600. Assets amounts to $956,233.3S. A
dividend of 6 per cent was paid in
August. The sum Of $79SS was writ
ten off as loss through replacement
Of old mill building, yet the net profit
for the year carried to surplus ac-
count was $65 .126, 98E

To have lost no JOY, buried no hope,
known no suffering is to come to
Easter day with little sense Of its
meaning and fellowship. Only those
who have deeply suffered can enter
deeply into it's glorious message.
Easter is the symbol of life triumph
ant, life more abundant, life rejoicing
over death. 1t is the birthday OF i'm
mortality to be celebrated by all men
with gladness. Whatever hope has
been defeated in our lives, Easter Of
fers us the victory. The dead we
loved are not dead; they live forever
in newness of life, awaiting our en-
trance into immortality. The things
we have hoped to do, the things we
have longed to reach, are only antici-
pations, after all, Of what the soul
shall possess in the larger life that
Easter foreshadows.
In our modern living, of the day and
for the day, the thought Of immortal
ity is often pushed aside. Easter bod
les it out afresh-immortal love, i'm
mortal life, endless joy, everlasting
hope, clarion-call of power-Harper's

PREVENTING THE PREvEN7AsLE.

PREVENTING THE PREvENTA5LE.
1t is. of course, worse than useless
to worry about unpreventable misfor-
tunes. 1t is worth while, however, to
differentiate between the preventable
and the unpreventable. 1t is equally
worth while to work for the proven
vention of the preventable. And one
is surprised to find how many of the
losses and sufferings of mankind
might be prevented If proper time and
thought were given to them. Losses
Of human life through unnecessary dis
eases, destruction of food products
through preventable causes, sacrifices
of property through avoidable fires
they constitute an appalling chapter
on social inefficiency. Only an approx
innate monetary value can be placed
upon human life. The insurance
companies make such estimates, but
they are convincing only when consid-
cred impersonally. To say that mil
lions are lost to the people Of Amer
lea through unnecessary dying,
through the ravages of preventable
diseases, is to state an economic fact
unfeelingly. It is, none the less,
fact. The property loss by fire In
the United States for 1911-the latest
authentic figures obtainable = was
25,000,000. And any expert will say
a majority Of those fires might have
been prevented by precautions OF
quite an ordinary character.

soil, and its Master. 1t says to the
farmer, "have no fear for results, since
the flowers have come through the
ground, your grain will also come. The
Easter lily is a sign to you of the gra-
cious beauty which will crown your
hard labor, which will follow what is
so disagreeable at the moment. There
was nothing lovely about the lily
bulb, remember" The resurrection
message is a signal set up in the race
through life, reminding it that there
is nothing more certain than
THAT men may rise on stepping stones
OF their dead selves to higher things"
HE is not here" said the heavenly
intelligence to those who sought a
dead body in the tomb. To the world
of men the message runs, do not
grope in the grave of disappointed
hope, or of unfulfilled desire" New
ness of life" is yours. Let the past lie
dead, as it will. New days arise for
you, with new hopes, better openings.
You can never lose vitality! While
there is life there is hope. And hope
persevered in finds certain fruition at
harvest time.
"He is Risen" rings out from the
stone beside the tomb. And the little
crocus bud, thrusting itself through
even snow and cold, points the mes
sage:
"Since am here doubt not He rose
And keep with me this Easter day."
For he was just the testing seed, the
first fruits. If he rose, SO will our
blessed dear ones in like manner, ever
so much better for having been laid
aside as the matchmaker lays your
watch to pieces on his tray.

oriuIn Of the Easter Eco custom.

The favor accorded to eggs among
Eastertide observances is said to have
originated from the ancient worship
of Ostara, goddess Of the East, whose
feast was celebrated with much eat
ing and drinking. many special Of
ferings being made, inluding the egg
of sea fowl. From northern Germany
the worship extended into Great Brit
ain. The Anglo-Saxon name for April,
the season of the festival, was Easter
monath, and in Germany this month
is still known as Ostermonath. Many
other of the popular Easter observ-
ances, especially in the Netherlands
and Germany indicate traces of sim
liar origin. The egg is symbolical of
the resurrection.

ing, Il will arise and go to my Father"
Every night he reminds himself, 81
shall arise again tomorrow to a new
life, somewhere" Every time he slips
back in some manner, he cries, 81 will
arise" Resurrections are occurring all
around US every day. New grip is ta-
ken on work here, new hope of better
life there, everywhere the world is
trying to rise and bear flowers, not
thorns, for no one now deliberately
starts out to do any but the right
thing.
If little flower can, preach an
Easter message, how much more a

fighting against trouble and difficulty
has blessing in it for all who witness
it. In rising to better things by sheer
hard climbing, many another is
helped too. The ruin of man, who
has found his way back to the strength
which has made man of him again,
is himself one to whom others look
and almost incredulously cry, "He is
Risen," and possibly some one may
say, Then will l also cry, 81 will arise
and go to my Father also"
In the words of one of the sweetest
of the Easter hymns, written just as
its author was telling his dying body,
II will arise" the Easter message,
translated into action, has for its mot
to:
IT fear no foe, with Thee at hand to
bless;
Ills have no weight and tears no bitter
ness;
Where is Deaths sting? Where Grave
thy victory?

Locomotive engineers sit for hours
at the throttle in a cramped position,
the mind is taxed to the full limit. the
body at a terrible strain. The per-
centage of deaths from kidney disor-
der is very high among locomotive
engineers and 1t is asserted that this
is due in large measure to the con-
tinual jar of the engine. With a
view to ameliorating these conditions
an inventor has contrived a portable
back rest made of canvas. which Is
attached to the seat. while the upper
end is secured to coil springs. which
are hooked to the ceiling of the cab
The springs relieve the engineer of a
great deal of Earring, permit him to
occupy a more comfortable position,
and consequently make him more eff
cient, particularly on long runs.

only the half comforted cry Of bereave-
ment, 81 shall meet them all again
some time" That is a graveside NOR
ality which is only half religious. The
true answer to the Easter call HE is

Father, and will say unto him,

"Resurgam!" Il will arise!" That is
humanity's watchword now. There Is
no need for hiding even under the

security Of life given to devotion and
contemplation, away from life's temp

willows at Easter time.
