HONOLULU, Jan. 9.-Taking
one consideration with another |
feel that my friend Matheson of the
Advertiser has unconsciously proven
himself fall guy" to the bland
ishments and business accumen of
Frazier Of bill board notoriety. The
reputation the Advertiser has earned
as an opponent of this form of ad-
vertising, is national; what with
the thousands of copies circulating
on the mainland and the additional
thousands sent out by the Outdoor
Circle" of Honolulu il has become
known among most of the general
advertisers from the Atlantic to the
Pacific that the leading paper of the
islands has opposed defacing the
city with bill boards, and that it is
not a healthy place for that kind of
advertising. A few weeks ago,
about Christmas time, to be exact,
there appeared on four boardings
immense posters illustrating scenes
from the bible. They are well exc
cuted in IA number of colors and
proved an addition to the poor
mans art gallery" as Frazier calls
his boards. True there was moth
ing on, the bills to tell the public
where to buy bibles but, in
view of recent events, my first
guess rs to their purpose was cor
rect; they were as much an adver-
tisement as if they told of the su-
perior qualities of Mother Siegel
Syrup or Pills for Peculiar People.
There was the story told in colored
pictures and the passer by was ad-
vised to ask his or her Sunday

Committee of Three Will Assist Supervisors In Set
tIing Rumors Of Irregular Acts-Far Name OF
Maui To Be First Consideration.

The motion to appoint Il comml
tee of investigation having being
seconded and carried, Chairman +.
f. Baldwin, of the Chamber, gave
it DIS his opinion that the board of
supervisors should meet the COM
mittee half way and give every
assistance in the matter of the in
vestigatior. Rumors had been going
the rounds, said the chairman, and
it would be better to clear up every
thing. He was sure the supervisors
would place all books and records
at the disposal of the committee.
The chairman named R. A. Wads-
worth, d. G. Lindsay and w. o..
Aiken as the committee.
Supervisor Henning addressed
the meeting and said that he was

Officers Are
Reelected

There was good attendance OF
members at the meeting Of the Maui
Chamber Of Commerce last Thurs
day, and besides other important
business, the election of officers for
the year was carried out. The cleo
ton resulted in the reelection OF
most of the old officers. F. f. Bald
win was again made president; R..
A. Wadsworth. vice-president; e.
d. Lufkin, treasurer, and ID. ID.
Case, secretary. Eleven trustees
were also elected and various COM
mittees were named.
President Baldwin named a COM
mittee of six to handle the affairs
of the next civic convention
which is to be held on Maui
this year. The gentlemen named
were: e. R. Bevins, H. B. Pen
hallow, r. A. Wadsworth, j. j.
Walsh, w. S. Searby and Harold
Rice. The president is an ex-oflicio
member of the committee.
The plan is to have the commit
tee work up an outline of what is to be
done in regard to the entertainment
of the visitors to Maui during the
convention, and to have full charge
of all the arrangements.

Hama
Cane Fields
Sxty-Five Acres of Sugar Cane
Burnt By Plantation
Laborers.

Sheriff Crowell is very busy over
at Hama trying to sheet home the
crime OF arson to where it belongs.
The fires that have destroyed over
sixty-fve acres of cane belonging to
the sugar company nave been proved
to be of an incendiary nature, and
several suspected men are under
observation.
The cane fields were set alight at
eleven different places, and the
separate fires were spread over a
distance of one and one half miles.
The shortage of water is creating
hardship, as the mill has to be
supplied with the fluid in order to
get up steam to grind the burnt
cane.
The cane that was burnt was
ready for grinding but, as the mill
was not fixed for the seasons grind
ing, there is grave trouble at present.
Water is being pumped from a
well and the boilers are being kept
supplied in that way.
The sheriff is working on the
case and he has a clue that promises
to lead to the guilty ones who set
the cane fields on fires. Some men
who were seen in the vicinity on
the night of the fires are being ex-
amined, and it is thought that
sufficient evidence to connect them
with the crime will soon be obtained
Malicious cane fires have always
been a rarity in these islands, and
it is thought that some of the lately
imported laborers who do not realize
the enormity of the crime, are re-
sponsible for the Hama series.

Fatal Auto
Accident

On Saturday afternoon last there
was an automobile accident near
Lahaina that resulted in the death
of young nam named Sweeny
Ahin who was in the employ of
Manager Weinzheimer, of Pioneer
Mill Co., as chauffeur. The un-
fortunate young man, who was a
half Chinese, was crushed beneath
the tourist car he was driving, and
died half an hour after the aCCid
ent occurred.
From what can be learned of the
affair it seems that the young man
drove out along the road near the
residence of DR.. Burt. He then
turned his car but, in some way,
went over the embau kment and the
car capsized. The chauffeur was
pinned beneath the car and could
not move till assistance came. 1t
was seen that he was badly injured
and although every effort was
made to save his life, the man
passed away soon afterwards. The
police theory is that the chauffeur,
in trying to make the turn, in some
way, backed over the ledge. The
fall was only about five or six
feet, but the car turned completely
over and crushed the man. A
coroner's S inquest was held and a
verdict of death by accident was
returned.

Following the pictures came
story in the Advertiser telling that
bill boards were of some good after
all. And, just there, | take issue
with the editor. Bill boards may
be some good but this is negatived
by the bad there is in them, from q
decorative view point and is counter
balanced by the abuse there is i'm
them to the natural scenery such as
this Paradise offers. Now comes
the follow up. The federation of
churches: Methodist Central Union,
Christian and Episcopal have COM
bined in advertising the fact that
there is warm welcome waiting
anyone who will just step into the
buildings at least once n day during
the Sundays in 1914, and the ad-
vertisements are to be kept up indie
finitely. These churches are going
a step farther. On all of the street
cars on Sunday were boards con-
tanning the legend Better 60 to

be Il new angle in the conduct of
the management of the Honolulu
Rapid Transit. 1t shows that he
has been benefited by the advertis-
ing or that he has been won over
by the ministerial forces and
changed a rule of the company that

went over the metals. That rule
applied to sign boards or banners
on the cars on Sunday. | remem-

Maui Library
Association

On Monday evening at 7:45 the
annual meeting of the Maui Library
Association will be held at the Lii
brary in Wailuku. 1t is earnestly
hoped that there will be large at
tendance as important reports are
to be read, and new business trans
acted.
The Library has had a prosperous
year, and it is expected from pres
ent indications, that the member
ship in 1914 will be larger than ever
before. The supply of books from
the Honolulu Library will continue
to be a feature of the work of the
Library for the new year. Although
the Territorial Library has so far
been unable to send out any of the
latest books to Maui, yet it has been
able to send a large number of
books that are standard, and which
have been generally read with much
pleasure by the reading public. The
Honolulu Library has also been
able to supply any special call for
books of reference which as yet the
Maui Library has been unable to
purchase, because of lack of sufii
cient funds.
The Maui Library has aimed to
purchase new books for the Library
from lists that have been requested
of the members. These lists have
not in many instances been sent to
Mrs. Gossin, the Librarian, so she
and the Library committee have not
been able in all instances TO send
new books to members. In the cir
cular letter that the Library officials
have sent out for the call of the
annual meeting, lists have been
again asked for, and it is expected
that annually a large number of
books can be Immediately purchas-
ed from the new lists that will be
sent in.

Tangos, Rags
And Trots

For some time past the MAUI
News has been receiving commu-
nications from different people
about 'tangos" trots" and
rags" The good people who
have written this paper regarding
the new dances have, perhaps,
thought that the paper is out of
sympathy with them on the ques-
ton. However, that is not so,
and now that there is space to
mention it, the latest letter to the
News is herewith printed. The
communication follows:
DEAR EDITOR:
Very often we hear a query
as to why the rag" is not allowed
to be danced in certain places.
For the benefit and information
of those concerned, please publish
i'll your valuable paper the attached
clipping from a mainland paper
which, I believe, will interest your
readers very much.
Very truly yours
A Subscriber.
The objection to rags" and
"trots" and the other new dances
is that they give opportunities for
coarse and vulgar dancing which
the waltz and other old dances did
not. These new dances, as they are
usually danced, are positively indie
cent, suggestive of and tending to-
ward immortality. No pure-mined
modest girl ought to have any incli-
nation to dance them, and parents
with any sense of decency ought
not to permit their daughters to
dance the rags" "trots," " tan
&c" etc. !"
Now then, all together. ED.

been absolute failures as far as
they offered any proof for the prac-
tice Of raising pedigreed nursery
stock. Referring to genetics he
said that if there were any virtue
in pedigree nursery stock, we
should have a chaotic condition in
all our fruit varieties. In conclu-
sion, he warned fruit growers to
beware of so-called pedigree nur-
sery stock and cautioned them that
the term pedigree" had no par
ticular virtue in it and that nur-
seryman was unjustified in charg-
ing higher prices for such stock.

Enthusiasm Renewed
At Missionary Dinner

The annual missionary dinner
and box-opening Of the Home and
Foreign Missionary Societies Of
Head Of Christiana Church, was
held at the Head Of Christiana
Manse, Thursday, Nov. II. All
the members and large number
of friends Of the Society were pre-
sent. 1t was a day of social joy
and thanksgiving for all. Dinner
was served at the noon hour by the
members who acted as hosteeses to
the many friends Of the Society.
The president, Mrs. Van Oeveren,
called the meeting to order prompt
ly at 2 p. m, using a leaflet, ga
Service of Praise" throughout the
devotional exercises. A short bus
mess session resulted in electing
the following: Mrs. Van Oeveren,
president; Miss Anna M. Scott,
vice-president; Mrs. Howard Scott,
treasurer Mrs. Milburn, secretary.
The secretary's report of the year s
work was very encouraging, as was
also the treasurer s, showing we
had accomplished more this year,
than in the past. Mrs. Van Oev-
eren then gave her report of the
Synodical meeting, showing by the
use of a chart, the many obstacles
which prevent prompt missionary
service. Mite boxes were opened,
the contents amounting to $22.2S.
1t is hoped that this occasion will
prove to be the beginning of much
interest in missionary work at
Head of Christiana Church, and in
view of this we hope every mem
Der in the Church will accept a
mite-box, thereby contributing
their portion for Him who said "It
is more blessed to give than to re-
ceive.'

Sussex Introduces Auto
mobile Freight Service

The first automobile of a corps
to connect Sussex and Kent coun-
ties with the big cities started last
Saturday from the Brick Hotel,
Georgetown, filled with invited
guests instead of the fruit and pro-
duce regularly to be carried to
Wilmington and Philadelphia. The
car arrived at it's destination about
six hours before the fastest freight.
The auto bus and freight line is
being backed by Wilmington and
Georgetown capitalists, and will
run between Georgetown, Seaford,
Laurel, Milton, Lewes, Rehoboth
Beach, and Selbyville, carrying
both passengers and freight, and
also making regular trips between
Georgetown and Wilmington. A
16-passenger car was used for the
maiden trip; later five cars will be
used.

Local Tailor To The Front

"Who is the best dressed man in
Newark ?" was a question recently
under discussion by several of our
citizens. At first, the talk was
more or less f1ippant but soon de-
veloped into real discussion on
the philosophy of clothes. Final
ly there was two candidates in the
field-a vote was taken and the
man has been honored among his

Then someone asked: How about

Address Before Maine
Pomological Society

Professor C. A. McCue Of the
horticultural department Of Della
ware College, gave two addresses
before the Maine Pathological So
ciety at Bangor, Me-, on November
Is and 10. His subjects were, Ger
tilizers for the Young Apple Or
chard" and "Pedigree Fruits.
In the first paper Professor Nc
Cue endeavored to show that in
many cases it was good business
policy and even necessary to use
commercial fertilizers in the ap-
pie orchard, but that before doing
so, the fruit grower should make
sure that all other limiting factors
of fruit production had been elm
mated. He should make certain
that the humus content Of his soil
was up to the standard, that the
moisture content was properly
regulated, and that his spraying,
pruning, and cultivating were
properly done. If after these things
had been accomplished, the orchard
should prove unproductive, it
would be reasonably certain that
the use of commercial fertilizers
would be beneficial. In proof of
these statements, Professor McCue
reviewed the work of several exper-
iment stations where long time fer
tilizer experiments on apple or
chards had been conducted. He
endeavored to reconcile the differ
ences of opinion between various
horticulturists Of the United States
regarding the use of commercial
fertilizers In conclusion, he said
that in his own experience he had
found that in most cases nitrogen
and proper moisture regulations
were the two principal factors most
often neglected in fruit produc-
ton.
In the address on Pedigree
Fruits" Professor McCue stated
that his position in the matter of
improving varieties of fruit of bud
selecting was as follows: He did
not believe that there was any vir-
tue in tn practice of selling buds
for propogating purposes from
trees that had been unusually
heavy bearers in the orchard.
Neither did he believe that there
was anything to be gained by pro-
pogating nursery stock from bear
ing trees. In defense of his posi-
ton he offered two kinds of proof,
one from observation and one from
experimentation. He claimed that
as yet there was definite proof by
the experimental method that
chance bud variations in the or
chard were hereditary and that
many instances had been shown
that where both heavy and low
yielding strains of fruit had been
propogated there was practically
no difference in the yield OF the off
spring. He cited many expert
ments that had been carried ON IN
