 Most of the local milk producers have renewed their contracts with the Bridgeport dealers at about the same terms which prevailed last year, the figures being 4 3-4 and 5 cents per quart. An increase was hoped for as the cost of production has risen owing to the failure of pasture from the drouth and the high price of grain foods. The closing of the Bor- den factory in NeWtown has increas- ed the Bridgeport supply from that territory and tended to keep down prices.
 In excavating for a cesspool on the premises of B. F. Sanford the Bridgeport water compauy's men struck, about seven feet below the surface, a gushing water vein which has given them lots of trouble. Con tinuous pumping failed to clear the excavation of water sufficiently to. permit of the setting of the cement at the bottom and the thrush of wa ter keeps on. It is now proposed to dig around the walls and cement from the outside.

Duffy's a Lifetime Benefit

Nearly thirty years ago this
 gentleman began using Duff
 fy's Pure Malt Whiskey. The
 results were so beneficial
 that he has depended upon
 this valuable medicine in
 case of sickness ever since. His picture shows how hale
 and hearty Duffy's has kept
 him.
 ''In Ehompsonvil1e, Conn, in April, 1885, when I was 22 years of age,N I was very sick for three months A druggist prescribed Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. took 12 bottles during that year and my weight after sick ness was 11o pounds In two years my weight was about 200 pounds. I am now 51 years old and my weight is 25O pounds. I always keep a bot tie of Duffy's Pure Malt Whfskey in my house and would not be without it, for in sickness we have used it many times with good resuIts.'' MT H. K.

Has Spread Gospel in Orient
for 40 YeaPs-Going East
to Broaden Scope

To spend 40 years Of ones life In
the endeavor to infuse the spirit OF
Christianity into the minds of the peo-
pie of two nations, and to be success
full in the undertaking is the unique
experience which has befallen Rev.
Merryman Colbert Harris, missionary
bishop of the Methodist Episcopal
church for Korea and Japan, who Is
a visitor in Honolulu en- route to New
York City, not on a vacation, but to
secure further assistance so that he
may broaden the scope of the great
undertaking which he founded and has
since carried out.
1t was 40 years ago that Bishop Har-
ris was sent to Japan by the Methodist
board Of missions and opened little
mission in Yokohama. At first he was
allotted a three-mile radius in which
to carry the message of Christianity;
today he is recognized as the Metho-
dist bishop of all Japan and Korea, is
known and respected by nobility and
peasant alike, and is considered the
most influential man in the entire en-
pire. When seen at the Young hotel

showed that throughout the entire en-

ever experienced. At that meeting it
was decided that the churches would
unite in a three-year evangelistic cam

If COUPLE SEPARATED
When Living Together, Entitled
to Deduction Only from Net
Income of Both

Husbands and wives all over the
territory are affected by the provi
siOns of the new federal income taS
law, and there are some peculiar and
interesting regula tiOns in il, according
TO an important communication re
ceived yesterday by Collector OF In
ternal Revenue Cottrill from Wash
ington
For instance. a husband and wife
living together may have to pay con.
siderably more than a husband and
wife living apart
The ruling says:
Regulations regarding the specific
deduction provided for under para,
graph c of the provisions of section
Of the income tax law Of October 3.
1913, relative to the returns of hus-
band and wife.
I Every single person, and every
married person not living with hus-
band or wife in the sense below de-
fined, who has a net income exceeding
$4,000 per annum, is liable to pay the
normal income tax under this law,
but in making return for such tax may
claim an exemption of $4,000 from
their total net income.
Husband and wife living together
are entitled to an exemption of $4,000
only from the aggregate net income of
both, which may be deducted in max
ing the return of such aggregate in
come for taxation. However, when
the. husband and wife are separated
and living permanently apart from
each other, each shall be entitled to
the exemption OF $4,000
III the husband and wife not liy-
ing apart have separate estates, the
from both may be made on

1f each. and the full name and address
1f both must be shown in such re-

The husband, as the head and legal
of the household and

income tax it is assumed that he can |

The chairmn of all the committees
Of the Mid-Paific Carnival will meet
with Directt.general James D.
Dougherty at O'Clock this afternoon
in the rooms of the Merchants AS
sociation Th gathering will be an
important ono from the fact that but
little more thin three weeks remains
until the opeiing OF the celebration
and all of thd committees have been
doing preliminary work upon which
reports are NECESSARY at this time.
There are Stcommittees on the va
riCus features of the program and In
several cases the duties of these COM
mittees make 1t necessary for them
to keep in close touch with one an
other. 1t is expected that important.
as we'll as interesting reports will be
submitted this afternoon.
The public schools of the city began
work today on Tie decoration of eight
automobiles and large float, and Ed
Towse, chairmaA of the committee on
this feature, is enthusiastic. The mat
ter has been placed in charge of Mrs.
Frederick Cartef, principal Of Central
Grammar school, by Superintendent T.
H. Gibson, and fthe former has lost
no time in getting together material
for the decorations. The schools which
will enter1fIoats are Normal Kaahu:
manu-, IiliaokaAani, Royal. Central
Kaiulanf. Kalihi-waena and
the Mckinley High school.
The large float, which will be an
elaborate affair, will represent the en-.
tire school body. It is proposed to
have a large number Of children 'on
this float, garbed in suitable costumes
the many races found in
the institutions in Honolulu. This pub
lie school entry of eight decorated au-
tomObiles and a float is by far the
largest showing the schools have ever
made in a local parade. The pupils
will do their own decorating under the
guidance of teachers who are already
planning the designs.
Rev. J. NJ. Lydgate Of Kauai, who
arrived in Honolulu yesterday on mat
ters connected with the part which
the Garden Island will play in the car
nival next month, has informed the
director general that the mechanical
effects of that islands float, which
will be a representation of the famous
"Spouting Horn," have been completed
and have been given a thorough test
The reproduction, with it's spray and
whistling buoy effect. Is remarkable,
says Mr.. Lydgate. Kauai has appoint
ed its princess, Mrs. James K Ku-
la who, it is expected, will ride in
the parade one of the horses belong

The foregoing letter, received from
Rear-admiral c. B. T. Moore yester-
day by J. D. Dougherty, director-gen-
eral of the 1914 Carnival. relieves the
swimming events committee of the
celebration of one Of its principal
worries. for it had been feared that
some legal obstacle might lie in the
way of the use of the two naval docks
on which to erect bleachers to seat
the large crowd which is expected to
attend the aquatic festival These
docks are by far the best for that
purpose and afford the only good
swimming course for the champion
ship races. The matter of securing
