ohio's Meanest Man.

An Ohio boy wanted to join a
corn club" and contest for the prize
of the biggest yield. But he had to
drop out. explaining in a letter to
the governor that his father would
neither allow him the use of the acre
of land required, nor the time to pre-
pare and cultivate the ground. When
the contest comes on for the meanest
man in Ohio, that farmer father will
be a long way toward the front to
start with.

I Ave years? Last July
tk&G9al scientific periodical offered
prizes of $3.50, 800 and $50 for the
best three essays on this intensely
interesting subject. Its editors were
flooded with answers from all over
the world and they are now publi ish-
ing the prize-winning essays.
The astonishing fact about these Is
the wide diversity of opinion of the
contestants "No two competitors"
comments the editor in charge, "se-
lected the same set of inventions. In
fact. only one invention, wireless
telegtaphy, was conceded unanimous
ly to belong among the greatest ten.
The vote on aeroplanes was almost
unanimous-but beyond that there
was not the slightest trace of unani-
nifty"
The conditions laid down were that
the greatness" of an invention
would be measured in terms of prac-
ticai success and general usefulness
to mankind. The contestants were
limited to machines, devices and dis
coveries commercially introduced in
the last twenty-five years." they
must be "patentable, although not
necessarily patented"

essay contest took test vote among

impression that there is much chance
of the players coming here.
Business was practically at a stand
still in Honolulu on Thursday after
noon on account of the initial ball
game played by the big league teams
which arrived in Honolulu by the Ma
noa on Tuesday, The retail merch-
ants voluntarily declared a holiday,
and the sugar planters, in annual ses-
sion, dropped their consideration of
cane pest parasites and what they will
do when the free sugar hits them, and
went to the ball game. There are
twenty-four players in the party, rep
resenting the cream of the National
and American leagues. A number of
the players are accompanied by their
wives.

Japanese to
Form Big
Organization
Editor Sheba Now Working With
Leaders He Formerly Opposed
Claim Unfair Treatment in
This Territory.

Very strong resentment resulted
among the Honolulu Japanese on ac-
count of the the refusal of the au-
thorities TO permit the japanese avi
ator flying on the island. AS an cut
growth of this feeling, prominent
leaders have taken up the organiza-
ton of the Japanese of the Territory,
into a society to secure what they
claim, is their rights. The same men
that led the labor strike in 1908 are
again in the fore in this new move;
but it is significant to note that Edi-
tor S. Sheba, of the Hawaii Shinpo,
who opposed that effort, is this time
actively working for the new society.
Fred Maxine, owner of the Hawaii
Hochi, summed up t9e purpose of the
leaders as follows:
I'VE want to help the local Japa-
and liberties as guaranteed by The
Constitution of the United States of
America, and to be treated as equals
with other white nationals coming to
the United States to enjoy the LESS
ings of free institutions of this grand
western republic. The Japanese at
home and Japanese in this Territory
have no other or ulterior aim than
this, which we must confess are in
part denied to us. We want the peo-
pie of the United States to treat us
as equals on principles of justice and
fair play, and the same as they treat
immigrants from Europe"
The functions of this organization
will be exceedingly varied, as Sheba
and Maxine make plain. Property
rights. legislation and many other
things will be included in its func-
tions, said Maxine.
yes, the matter of wage scale will
be one of the important items in the
associations work." said the latter.
He said the organization would EN-
ploy one of the best lawyers in the
city.

The likelihood of the Big League
players, now in Honolulu, coming to
Maui for an exhibition game, is not
very strong. Hope was raised among
the local fans during the week, by
the report that negotiations were on
foot looking to securing a visit from
these baseball heroes, but the latest
word is that the players themselves
have expressed a keen desire to see
the volcano in activity, and that a
trip to the Big Island will preclude
any possibility of their visiting Maui

Teachers to
Express No
War Opinions
Department of Education Circular
Tells Pedagogues to Use War
News But Not To Take
Sides.

The following circular has been
sent to teachers by the Department
of Public Instruction:
"The Teaching Of War Topics"
"One of the most vital problems
confronting school administrators at
this time is the educational problem
of how to teach about the present
European war and the teachers at
titude in the discussions in respect
to this conflict.
Teachers should not Express any
personal opinions in regard to the
war that will give reason for resent
ment from the parents or offend the
sensibilities of the children.
Below the fifth grade no time at
all should be devoted to this war sub
ject. Beginning with the fifth grade
Current Events should be used in the
class discussions and as a guide in the
map study of the war zcLe. In the
higher grades the lecture method may
be used, the facts being obtained,
authentically, from the large military
movements, international policies, and
geographical controversities of the
nations involved. The possibilities in
relating these facts with the history,
geography, civics, and the school work
in general, are limitless and all with
in the capabilities of the efficient
teachers. The encouraging of the
pupils to gather these facts and accu-
rately record them on their own
maps is Of the greatest educational
value.
This sad plight of Europe is radi-
cally opposed to the sentiments and
sympathies of educators but if the
unspeakable horrors to mankind that
this war brings can be used as an aid
to teach the value of universal peace
and assist you teachers by inculcat-
ing in the pupils spirit of good will
toward all men at all times it will be
worth little of your attention.

Attempted Burglary
at Kuiaha

An obvious attempt to rob the home
of e. B. Blanchard, in the Kuiaha
homesteads, on Thanksgiving night,
has caused considerable apprehension
in that heretofore peaceful district.
Aroused by a noise at the back door,
Mr.. Blanchard upon investigation dis
covered that some prowler had forced
the fastening, but had evidently taken
alarm and fled before effecting an en-
trance. In his hurry to escape the
would-be burglar left behind him an

PINEAPPLE PAINTINGS
TO Be HEAVY next YEAR
New Canneries May Be Built to Handle Increased Output
Much Uncertainty Leads to Many Rumors-
Some Grades of Canned Stock Now Exhausted

According to reports in circulation
in the Haiku district, there are no
less than four new pineapple Gamer
les to be built in that section within
the next few months. First there is
the homesteaders' cooperative can
merry, on which a large amount of
mental force has been expended dur
ing the past several months, and
towards which some $4,000 or $15,-
900 has been subscribed by the set
tiers. Whether or not the promoters
will be able to raise enough capital
to actually build factory, however,
is still matter of uncertainty.
Another cannery is said to be con-
templated by local financial interests;
while Libby, McNeill & Libby is re-
ported to be trying to break into the
Maui field. The fourth project is still
more vague, but has to do with out
side capital.
Much Land To Be Planted.
LII lut lutduJllle Jue MAUI Ilne-
apple Company, locally known as the
Japanese cannery, has made arrange
ments, it is reported, to take care of
the product of 100 acres of land to
be planted this coming year by the
Haiku Ranch. The ranch company
has already contracted for the clear
ing, breaking and planting of this
acreage, on portion of it's holdings
just east of the Japanese cannery,
and on the makai side of the govern
ment road.
Before this acreage comes into
bearing, very considerable enlarge

at present exist in the district will
be necessary. In fact without con-

To 7 Change
Boundaries
of Precinct
New Voting Place Probably, at
kuiaha School House-Lower
Boundary Of Eleventh May Be
Moved Mauka.

A meeting will probably be called
within few days of the citizens of
the upper Kuiaha and of the kappa
kalua sections, to express their wish
es regarding the proposed changing
of the boundaries of the 11th and 18th
voting precincts of the county. Sec
retary Thayer has advised that the
matter of making these changes is
now being considered, and must be
determined not later than the 18th
OF this month, in order that they may
be advertised as required by law,
sixty days before the primary cleo
ton to be held next March.
1t is generally understood that the
present 18th precinct is to be divided
along the line of the Maliko gulch,
and the new polling place to be locat-
ed at the Kuiaha school house or at
Pauwela; but the upper boundary has
apparently been overlooked. AT pres
ent this boundary between the 18th
and the 11th precincts is the line of
the old Hamakua ditch, buC as a part
of the Kuiaha homestead lots are
above this ditch, while there are
other citizen residents in the same
vicinity who would be convenienced
by being able to vote in Kuiaha OF
Pauwela, rather than at Makawao as
as present, the Importance of chang
ing this boundary line is obvious. 1t
is believed that the line of the Pc
ahi-Makawao road may be satisfac-
tory, but it is to obtain this ex-
preston of opinion that the meeting
is to be called. Deputy tax assessor
VIM Henning has the matter espec-
tally in hand.

Likely to Make Trouble For Care
less Ones See That All DOCu-

The Kahului Railroad sent out post
card notices to shippers, the first of
this week, calling attention to the
going into effect of the special Teve-
nue. law requiring that special reve-
nue. stamps be affixed to every orig
inal bill of lading issued, and provid-
ing for severe penalty in case of neg
lect of this requirement. The law
went into effect the first of December.
II is a measure lately passed by Con
gress to provide more revenue to
make up the deficiencies due to fall
ing off of dutiable imports on account
of the war
But bills of lading are only one of
many things that from now on must
bear a little sticker before they may
be legally transferred from person to
person. Some of these are articles
of perfumery and other cosmetics,
deeds, contracts, promissory notes,
powers of attorney, express and
freight receipts, telephone and tele-
graph messages, when the charges on
these exceed fifteen cents, and all
kinds of certificates required by law.

Would Have
Slain Fifty
to Kill One
FiIipinOs Confess to Attempt
to Wreck Train in Order
to Kill Engineer Sentenced
One Year.

To avenge themselves upon one
man, Juan Tany and Carliaz Tany,
laborers on the Pioneer Plantation
made diabolical attempt to wreck
a work train on the plantation road
in che early morning of November
II. Had they been successful in
their design, the train, with the fifty
or more laborers who were being car
ried to their work, would have been
hurled from a high bridge to the
rocks below. By lucky chance,
Japanese field hand discovered the
great mass of rock and timbers which
the Filipino brothers had placed upon
the track, and was able to stop the
train before it struck the obstruc-
ton.
In the Lahaina district court last
Friday the Filipinos pleaded guilty
and sentenced by Judge John Brown,
Jr., to one years Imprisonment each.
In their confession, the men told
how they had been refused a ride
by locomotive engineer on the plan
tatiOn, and had been obliged to walk
a long way to their camp In order
to get even, they planned to wreck
the train which they knew the en-
gineer would be in charge of, at
high trestle in the Pukolii district.
The fact that the train would arrive
at the bridge before daylight, taking
gang of workmen to the fields, was
taken into account by the plotters,
al, from the testimony given at the
trial their plan failed only because
of the chance passing of the man who
gave the warning.

But the rumor mongers haven't
stopped with the new cannery pro-
jects. Radical changes in the man
agement of the Haiku Fruit & Pack
ing Company's big plant are said to
be due with the beginning of the new
year. A good many changes have al
ready taken place in the factory and
field force during the past few months
which lends color to the reports
which are neither denied nor con-
firmed
Can Factory Being Rushed.
The work on the new plant of the
American Can Company, is well un-
der way. The buildings, it is said,
are considerably larger than neces-
sary to house the machinery at pres
ent necessary to supply the district
with containers, allowance having
been made for a large increase in
the pack in the next few years.
Better Prices Expected.
Whether justified or not, the feel
ing is strong among the growers that
prices for fruit will be much better
next year. 1t is known that already
there is a serious shortage in certain
grades of the pack, which cannot be
supplied, and it is believed that this
augurs good markets for next sea-
sons pack. At all events, where six
months ago or less the Gamers were
spurning offers of fruit, they are now
grabbing eagerly at all the scattering
pines they can find, and are making
overtures for new contracts.
