county supervisors have been hard at
work s.nce Wednesday of this week
and some OF the most important mat
tiers that the board has yet in hand
are oScome up on Monday night Nu-
merous appointments have been set
on that day for those who have any
business with the county fathers.
The most important report submit,
ted up to the present time is that
drawn up by the special committee.
consisting OF David T. Fleming and
Philip Pail on the so-called Makawao
water works, or, in other words, the
famous Kula pipe line.
During the quarter just past 8 &c..
$50 gallons of water appear charged
up to the various accounts in the sup
erintendent's books, whereas the
meter at the head of the iron pipe
near Olinda shows that roughly L.
600.00 gallons have passed Only
guess work can tell where the differ
ence between these figures has gone.
Loss in the pipe line alone could not
account for such tremendous figure.
The committee of investigation re-
ports that deposits had not been reg
ularly made with the county treasurer
for money received from consumers,
and in fact sometimes these accounts
were three or four months in arrears
IL was surprise to the committee to-
find that for the second qaurter in the
present year no charges had yet been
entered In the books and no money col,
lected.
Delinquent water bills remaining un-
paid amount to $1122.0S.
Penalties have been RENTED This
is in direct violation of the law, and
further 1t was found that some of the
largest consumers had not paid to the
county according to the requirements

been established Quite q discrepancy
in this matter alone exists.

THE DANDELION's DOMINANCE

(From the Journal of Education)
The dandelion is terror to the
lovers of cean lawns. Any commun-
ity that trifles with them is sure to be
run over or over-run by them.
The dandelion is the most deceptive
rascal in the weed world. Pull up a
young dandelion in early May and it
is as harmless little fellow as can be
found anywhere.
All the early May dandelion wants
is chance to let its harmless little
root, a mere fibre, rest quietly in the
earth, not taking up square quarter
of an inch. 1t seems heartless to
deny it this space.
But if you yield it begins growing
leaves down on the very surface of the
ground, spreading them out over the
grass, shading it So completely that
it cannot live. Like a pestilence, the
dandelion that only wanted a square
quarter inch has monopolized square
quarter of a foot.
If you run the lawn mower over il
and cut off its beautiful golden heat
it will blossom from so short a stem
i jtnat no lawn mower will touch it.
The vicious little pest will bloom
over and over again all the season. Ii
a single night that low flower tina
your lawn mower cannot touch viii
shoot up half foot, and scatter hun
dreds of seeds like fash of light
ming.
The only remedy is a vigorous cam
paign in May, the earlier the better
Any lover of lawn can afford to pa.
cent apiece for every dandelion, roo
and all, that is taken up in MAY.

that John Hane, an employee at the

the swing as it was being pulled into
the barn, and the force of the blow
was quite terrific. 1t struck right
across the breast on a level with the
heart, and DIR. Ames stated the end Of
the rib must have been driven right
into the heart. The man attempted to
rise after being struck, reeled and fell
dead. The accident was witnessed by
two little folks who were standing
near. Henry McConvil,e was in the
barn loft ready to receive the hay.
The load was just carried to the door
upstairs when the tug gave way.
John Hane had been employed with
Mr.. McConville for two years. He
had come to that section from Fred

for ten years by Mr.. Chase. At one
