BY JOHN P. Fallon.

A dollar Is worth 100 centA

You can give or take from the
value of dollar by the way in
which you spend 1t. Your
pleasures in life, your standing
and influence In the commun-

value you place on every dollar
you own and the value you get
on every dollar you spend.
Dollars spent unwisely lose
their full purchasing power and
value to you; careful spending
and systematic saving will en-
able you to secure value re-
ceived" and future independ-
ence.
You will secure full value for

man Of feeble mind late yesterday as
he walked through the streets of Sal

While the council Of ministers were
in solemn session, preparing procla-
nation which ascribed the assassina-
ton of King George to the act OF g
madman, the grief-stricken dowager
Queen Olga was hurrying to Salonika
aboard Russian warship, tbemoaning
that she had left the king alone in
the conquered city few days ago,

hurrying from Janina, the Turkish
city in Epirus, which he entered as q
conqueror recently.
The Hellenic capital was the scene
Of deepest gloom and mourning today.
Flags were at half mast, buildings
were draped in black and government
departments were closed. Theatres
closed their doors last night and all
business was at "a standstill.
But while the nation mourns the
dead kind as friend and helper lost

Greeks have great confidence in his
ability and sagacity, and since the
army of which he was the active
head took Janina, Constantine has
been popular idol. His succession
to the throne gives no uneasiness OF
dissatisfaction.

now difficult to find borer-cane. Adams
said one field produced 200 tons more
sugar this year than last, and implied
that the introduction of this parasite
had destroyed another home industry
that of the gathering of adult cane
borers by the school children for sale
to the plantations at so much per ounce.
Swezey said that while school children
collected $1,000 ounces of borers on
Waialua in 1912, they had only turned
in $40 ounces in 1913. Goodale said
the work of the parasite was particu.
