Some MESSAGES Can b Delivered
Only Through Classified Advertising

Sometimes you have a very urgent message for
someone whose name you do not know.
You can't phone him; you can't telegram him: Won
can't send him a letter. For, while your business with
him is important-perhaps as important to him as it is
to you-you have no idea who he is, or where he lives.
Maybe your message to him is to ask hin to report
for work in your office, or to ask when you shall report
for work in his. Maybe it is to tell him about some real
estate you have to sell-real estate which he is anxiouslv
searching the city over to find. Or, perhaps, you want
to let him know that you have an apartment to let. so
well suited to his needs that he would want to move in
within a day or two.
In fact, these classified ad. messages are so varied
in character, cover so many phases of daily life and eff
fort, that the catalogue Of them might be extended in
definitely. The services of the classified columns are at
your disposal ALWAYS-to carry the urgent message to
the unknown person who is waiting to receive it. Are
YOU taking advantage, personally, of the unique service
which these columns offer you?

NEW zEALANDERS TO
MAKE PRESENT TO
BATTLE-CRUISER

A beautiful kou bowl is to be pre-
sented to the officers of the battle
cruiser New Zealand this evening at
6 O'Clock by number of New Zea-
landers, residents of Honolulu. There
is silver plate on the bowl bearing
the following inscription:
Presented to H. M. s. New Zea-
land by the New Zealanders of Homo
lulu as a token of welcome to Hawaii
of their affection for the mother
land, and of pride in the land of their
birth.
Honolulu, July IL, 1913"
On the plate there is crest of a
pineapple in solid gold, and at the
sides of the plate cocoanut palms are
engraved. The howl will make one OF
the prettiest gift the officers have re-
ceived here. The kou wood is eX-
ceedingly rare on the islands now, and
the New Zealanders here consider
themselves in extra good fortune in
being able to give such present to
the officers.
A short presentation speech will be
made at 6 o'clock on board the ship
when 1t will be accepted by Captain
Halsey on behalf of the officers.
