Sign OF Body Found.

Washed from the rocky ledge from
which he had been fishing, and his
body devoured by sharks, is supposed

almost as many years.

Successful Church FeS=
tival at Paia Church

Over $500 persons took part in the
big church feast at Paia last Sunday,
the occasion being the celebration of
the day Of Our Lady of the Rosary.
1t was one of the largest and most
successful affairs of the kinG eyeI
held on Maui. The day was perfea
and the people poured in from every
direction by automobile, by train, and
on foot. The plantation trains ran al
day to accommodate the crowds.
High Mass was celebrated by Rcv.
Father Athanasius, OF Makawao, as
sisted by Fathers Ambrose and Char
les, and was of particularly impress
i've character
Later a fair and lUau was held
Much of the success of these features
was Que to Miss Mary Nunos and Ms
Maria silva, who headed the fair com
mirtcc, and TO Mrs. Visher and Mrs
Shaw, who managed the uau Ma
nuel Nures was responsible for the re-
frcshmcnts. As result of the cello
braion (Which by the way, was uot-
poned from the previous Sunday or
account of the Civic Conyenuon) the
sum of $3.50 was realized. Father
Francis and other leaders of On, Pdia
church, wish to thank everybody who
helped to make the event the success
it was.

Tucker Says Government Will Help.

Twenty FIVE territorial convicts
from the Oahu Prison will arrive by

County Engineer Hugh Howell is
preparing to push the homestead road
work with all energy, and a large
number Of county teams as well as the
prisoners will soon make the roads
passable at least. No attempt will be
made to more than grade the roads
for the money available is utterly in
adequate for any macadamizing, but
by means of frequent dragging, after
the grading has once been done, Mr.
Howell is confident that they can be
maintained in reasonably good shape.
First Dry Week in Four Months.
The past week has been the only

Tie Republican campaign on Maui
has started Following a meeting of
the Republican County Committee
held last Friday night, the candidates
on Maui, with the exception of Ia
wares left for Molokai, where they
held a series of meetings, returning
home on Wednesday.
S. e. Kalama was chosen campaign
manager, at the County Committees
meeting, and has arranged for tour

this afternoon. The candidates will
leave for the Hama district, by way of
Uluralakua. stumping as. they go
along, and working back by the wind

AS a result of the County Commit

be fought out shoulder to shoulder,

been received and is now IN effect.
1t is understood that the order is an
administration measure and does
not represent the real sentiments Of
the school department.
Teachers are divided on the matter.
The fact that promotion in the grades
is now dependent upon the results OF
quarterly examinations, and that the
course of study is declared to be a
good deal more rigid than heretofore,
many teachers declare that the pupils
can not afford the time required tor
the manual training work.
Classes Reduced.
Because many pupils are Obliged to
work outside Of school hours, it is
stated that the attendance at these
and before-school classes
will probably be very light. Also,
Prof. Bowman admitted, it is going to
be very difficult for him to cover the
ground between the various schools
during the hours remaining open to
him, to meet the classes that do re-
main.

we can to help those homesteaders.
They have had hard time, and the

right with them to help them succeed,

they are going to get mighty lenient

NOTES.

In an opinion resembling the order
of the railroad commission that re-
duced distributing rates throughout
the state, Commissioners Daniel Boyle
and E. A. Morley of Montana say 'the
compliments, with few exceptions,
have failed and even refused to give
the commission their testimony and
support. The commission is merely
the peoples representative, and GER
tainly if our constituents have no
cause for complaint there is nc occa-
sion for further controversy"
The Idaho Northern railroad from
Nampa to Mccall, Idaho, up through
Long Valley, commenced laying rails
last week from the terminus of their
work of last fall 10 miles below Nc
Call, and expect to have the track laid
in to the lake this week. They have
a force of 200 men at work. The ma
terial for the depot at Donnelly (Rose-
berry P. o. was put IN the ground the
first of last week and engineers are
now at work running the lines for the
Mccall depot, water tank location and
stock yards, on which work will be
started as SOC rs is possible to get
the lumber, etc., over the road. They
expect to have this work completed
and trains carrying passengers by
July 1. Big excursions for July 4 over
the road are now booked from Boise,
Nampa and other stations below.

Il We Had No LaW2

A contributor to the American Maya
zine writes in The Interpreters
House" in part as follows:
am right, I think, in affirming that
you would live precisely the same life
you are living now If there had never
been such a thing as a statute existing
anywhere in the world. You have no
more personal relation to the statutes
they no more affect your conduct or
guide your impulses than If you were
living In the moon. If they were ALI
wiped of the books tonight you would
go on living just as good a life without
them as you did with them. Does the
law ave. consciously influence you, OF
do you ever ever think of it In a per-
sonal way, from n years end to u
other?
For you the law is practically nom
existent. So it is for me, and so 1t In

body we are acquainted with all ovsT

Grocer Had Good Scheme.

A country grocer in Nebraska has
a unique way of holding his own with
the great mail order concerns who
flood his trade with advertisements of
their miraculous bargains" By
keeping himself informed as to what
goods are purchased from one of the
heaviest of outside houses, he buys one
of these particular brands and then
features it at a price lower than his
distant competitors. Naturally, he
loses a little on each sale but this he
charges to advertising. He knows his
own line is much better and as soon
as a customer finds that the mail or
der house is selling a brand for more
than the home merchant, he has an
other plugger who is pretty sure to
stick with him.
