kAlMUKl GARDEN -FETE
NETS BIG PROFIT FOR
NEW BUILDING FUND

In spite of the fact that rain was
threatened several times, several hun
dred persons attended the bazaar and
garden fete given by the Epiphany
Guild of Kaimuki at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs A. F. Cooke on Satur-
day. The kiddies, perhaps. enjoyed
the affair even more than their elders
and there were many things to at
tract their attention, including a fish
pond where one fshed for mysterious
parcels, and donkey which could
be ridden for a small donation. For
the adults there was a booth of fancy
work and a table which groaned with
edibles. 1t is understood that the af-
fair netted q substantial sum, which
win be added to the building fund of
the Epiphany Mission. The Hawaiian
band played during the afternoon.
Among the interested spectators were
Mr.. and Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant, Jr.,

Pines SPOIL ON
SHIPS GOING To
COAST;LOSS BIG
Carload Shipments Being For.
Warded to Kansas City, Den
yer, st. Louis and Chicago

Improper packing or piling the fruit
too high in the holds of the steamers
may be the reasons for marked loss
in pineapples shipped from Honolulu
to San Francisco.
This loss his been discovered In
shipments which have been made By
the Territorial Marketing Division &c
its agency in San Francisco, according
to Supt A. t. Longley.
Mr.. Longley todss referred to the
matter as being a big loss" As yet,
he added, his office has been unable
to ascertain the actual reason. Ii may
be, he says. that the fruit has been
improperly packed here, but this hard.
ly seems possible The next theory Is
that the fruit has been piled too high
aboard ship and has cooked" or rot
ted, before arriving at its destination.
An investigation of the loss has
been started by Mr.. Longley.
The fruit which is getting to the
coast is bringing good prices" Mr..
Longley continued. I'VE now are
shipping pines in carload lots to Chi
cago. Denver. Kansas City ana st.
Louis. .
Two carloads have been shipped to
Kansas City. two to Chicago, one To
ST. Louis and one to Denver. Three
hundred cases OF pines make a car
load. Mr.. Longley says that indica-
tons are that this eastern trade will
continue.
Shanghai, China. appears to be the
latest foreign city anxious to try Ha-
Waiian-grown pineapples.
A through passenger on a recent
eastern-bound Japanese liner dropped
into the office of the Territorial Mar
keting Division and asked that the
market forward to him in Shanghai
half ton of pines.
From the fact that no deposit was
made by the Shanghai resident, the
pines have not been sent. Supt A. T.
Longley has the matter under consid-
Grafton, however. and may take a
chance, and ship the fruit.

hardly day passes that the
press is not full of comment
about the hungry thousands who
stand in the "bread line" and
patronize the free "soup houses

due to the policy of any particu-
lar political party, but rather the
out-growth of conditions which
have been slowly but surely
crystalizing for a number of
years. In the first place, the
Corn Belt-the great bread bas-

However, there are but few
changes The Oldest in years of
service to the county, to retire is
J. H. Randolph, who for the past
eight years has served in the ca-
pacity of Probate Judge. Let it
be said of him that none more
faithful, more willing to do his
duty as he saw it, and more
considerate of the interests in
his hands has ever filled this Of
fee. He retires with the satis-
faction of knowing that those
whom he has served can con-
scientiously say of his work;
"well done" He is succeeded
by c. A. Marrs, whose long resi-
dence and acquaintance with our
people makes further introduce
ton unnecessary. He is well
qualified aud possesses the abil-
ity to make the county an excel
lent official.
w. II. Gray, who for the past
six years has efficiently handled
the affairs of the Register of
Deeds Office, retires togive place
to his successor, Ira Scott. Mr..
Scott is well known in the coun-
ty, having lived here for the past
twenty years. Everyone who
has an acquaintance with him
knows that he has the sticktoit-
iveness to succeed at whatever
he undertakes, so it goes with
out saying that he. will make
good.

AS the Representative of this
county in the present Legisla-

men in the county for the place.
He possesses a thorough know

on only nine enterprises is as
far reaching as this, what would
the figures show if they were
available for similar industries
and the hundreds OF other enter
prises affected IN a greater or
less degree throughout the coun-

Germs have on hand hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth OF
finished equipment which was
ordered by the railroads a year
or so ago, but which they have
not been able to pay for; in the
meantime, not being able to pay
for goods already ordered, the
railroads are not placing any
new contracts, and unless they
receive speedy assistance from
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and the rate-making
authorities of the different states
the tendency will be for labor
conditions to grow gradually
worse rather than better.
In last weeks article we re-
ferred to the fact that the rail-
roads are the largest employers
of labor in the United States and
that during the last fiscal year
they paid out over thirteen hun.

conduct their business. We al
Soreferred to the fact that they
paid out almost thousand mill
ion dollars for steele, coal, lum-
Der and other supplies, of which
they are the largest consumers
in the country, and therefore the
chief support of the hundreds of
thousands employed in these
great industries.
In view of these facts, is it

Recipe of Sage and Sulphur and
Nobody Will Know.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded. streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui

large bottle for about SO cents Every
body uses this old, famous recipe, be:
cause no one can possibly tell that
you darkened your hair, as it does it
SO naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at time; by morn
ing the gray hair disappears, and
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, thick
and glossy and you look years younger.
