A PICTURE of the Nativity. printed in
1 twelve colors, has been seen on sew
eral of the billboards since short time
before Christmas. It is not remarkable
as work of art, and yet it is token OF
an effort in the right direction. This
poster is not an advertisement. The
legend at the bottom reads something
like this: Ask your Sunday school
teacher to tell you about it." The poster
occupies unrented boards and is the re-
suit of action determined upon last sum-
mer by the Poster Advertising Associa-
ton to thus endeavor from time to time
to put such space to good service in the
education of the young. This poster, de-
signed by Edward Volker of Cincinnati

and Canada at large cost, met by pri-

A Pleasant Angle to Modern Sur

The pleasing duty of proving TO the
citizens of this country that oftentimes
they own more land than they thought
they did has fallen to the lot of the
forestry service of the United States De
partment of Agriculture. in connection
with its modernized survey OF the noun
tain land in the Appalachian range.
This survey is being conducted in con-
nection with the plan of the government
to purchase a great deal Of the land. 1t
has been demonstrated that the property
owners own on an average of l per cent
more land than they claimed, and i'll
many instances the percentage was
much higher. One man In Tennessee
who rejoiced in the possession of a tract
supposed to contain $50 acres found that
its actual acreage was 1.4sO acres.
No one knows when. where or how
surveying began, but 1t is certain that
the early Romans used instruments
similar to the plane table for determtn-
ing the alignments of their roads. Three
centuries before the Christian era the
Greeks used log line in the Persian
gulf. 1t is said that the Chinese people
knew the use of the loadstone as early
as 1900 B. {. Modern scientific survey

Old Hawaiian
Found Dead
In His Bed

Their attention attracted by a
suspicious odor, residents in the
rear of the Church of the Good
Shepherd at noon yesterday notified
the police, with the result that the
dead body of Kahalehau, a well
known Hawaiian character, was
found in the bed i'll the cottage
where he had lived alone. Death
probably occurred two or more
days ago, and was doubtless due to
natural causes.
The deceased was 81 years of
age, and has lived about Wailuku
for years. 1t is not believed that
he has any near relatives. The
death was quite sudden, for al
though the old man was feeble, he
had been about the streets as usual
but a few days ago.

Campaign
Is Active

The plebiseite campaign is on in
full swing this week. The demo-
cratic contingent of the bond issue
advocates, headed by DR.. J. II.
Raymond, spent most of the week
on Molokai. Supervisors Kalama,
Lake and Henning left on Tuesday
for the Hama district, where they
have been engaged in urging the
importance of the various PROPOSE
tions.
A meeting was held last Saturday
night in Lahaina, and on Sunday
Supervisor Henning journeyed over
to Lanai and enlightened the minds
or the citizens of that place on the
matter of county bonds.
The supervisors, while supporting
the proposed bond issue, have de-
cided to carry on their campaign in
dependently of the democratic
champions.
A meeting is held this evening in
Wailuku, at which Attorney General
Ingram M. Stainback is expected to
be present as the leading speaker.
Mr.. Stainback will also speak at La
haina on next Monday night. Word
has been received from Secretary
Thayer that he expects come to

of campaigning for the bond issue.

TWO-PARTY Fight IS
PROSPECT FOR MAUI
Not Believed Bull Moose, Home Rule, or Citizen Ticket
Will Cut Much Figure in Local Politics.
Candidates Slow in Coming Forward.

The political pot is beginning to
simmer in Maui, with indications
that within month or two it will
be boiling merrily. From present
indications the fight next fall will
be between the republican and
democratic parties. Political wise
acres do not believe that any of the
other three parties-IIome Rule,
Bull Moose, or Citizens which are
more or less prominent on Oahu,
will be able to establish themselves
in this county. The Home Rulers
have not had an organization here
for several years, and the new
Citizens party which announced
itself few weeks ago in Honolulu,
is declared by local politicians to he
fake, organized by a few schemers
with the object of controlling a few
votes which they hope to dispose of
to the highest bidder. 1t will get no
hearing on Maui, is the confident
prediction.

attempting for his Progressive party
