THANKSGIVING ENRICHES
AMERICAS LIFE.

Thanksgiving day is one of
the most gracious and heart
ening anniversaries in the
American year. That people
should be called by their presi.
dent to reckon the mercies
and privileges received at the
hands of God is a most hallow-
ed and sanctifying ministry
and most assuredly enriches
and invigorates the national
life.
But Thanksgiving should
not be confined to material
bounty. 1t should extend its
range and include the bless.
ings found in the broadening
day of knowledge and in the
lifting of all forms of oppres-
sion from those who are bear
ing needless yoke. 1t should
even go beyond the range of
patriotism and become cosm0-
politan as it contemplates the
leaven OF freedom and human
ity which is working in every
part of the world.
Thanksgiving of this wide
and ennobling kind would
surely send thankful people
into the ways of unselfish and
chivalrous service.

that its advertising his been bad.

+
Most states in this country now have laws which
make it civil msdemeanor to put anything fraudulent in
to advertising Several have been prosecuted for
statements that certain things offered for sale worth
than they really One big store last spring
prosecuted and its manager arrested because they
advertised piano for $125 which they said worth
$3.50 Experts proved court that it worth $3.50
There is legal danger in the of exaggeration in
advertising outside of the matter of ethical honesty But
the danger goes farther than either of those factors
The big terrible peril is that ten years from bust
may go to smash simply because of the exaggeraton
that that merchant allows in his advertising today
This undermining process which exaggeration causes
is subtle 1t is indirect 1t is slow to take visible FORM
Public suspicion worse gradually results from such
untruthfu copy This takes patronage away from the
store. The merchant may go for long time and
to get business But the biggest community is so
small that eventually that kind of policy will prove SUI
cida People compare notessoen the tide turns against
the store But most stores through their honesty adj
vertising have piled up patronage which nsures them
permanent success and which cuts down their adverts
ing costs. There in indiana doing business
of between six and seven million dollars year
advertising expenditure of little 19o That is pos
sbe only because of the fact that for years they have
been proving to their people that every item in their
ads is honest.
Of course this is all just common-sense Merchants
real modern merchants-now a-days keep clear of old
time circus methods of exaggeration. They know too
well this rigid principle of retail advertising They know
that if they lie in the slightest degree their advertising
will pull less and less the years go
This question of clientele and its effect the cost
of advertising gets down to fine point
that it battles There is instance where two stores
of the resources with almost the location with
practically equivalent manag absolutely differ
ent in their advertising effectiveness One get almost
twice much business from the amount of adyer
Using the other store 1t probably caused
the distant past The latter not stickler for truth
as was the former.

NIGHTINGALES'
OF KONA HARDLY
OF STAKE GLASS

Especial Star-Bulletin Correspondence
HILO, July 9.--Honokaa lived up to
its reputation as a sports,loying com
munfty on July 4, and the athletic
meet and horse races that were held
there on Saturday and Monday were
the real thing in the way OF amuse-
ment and clean sport
The youngsters were catered to on
Saturday, when a lot of races were
held for them. Suitable prizes were
given and there were many keen con-
tests. In the evening of Saturday
there was dance at the Lyceum. and
it was largely attended by the resi-
dents of the district.
The horse races and other events
on Monday were witnessed by 500
persons and the day was beautiful
one. There were Is events in all, an6
some of them were real novelties. A
fitting at the ring contest brought ont
a number of horsemen and % riders
took part in the contest. The sport
was exciting and all the spearing of
the rings had to be done by the man
who rode the horse. 1t was very diff
ferent from an automobile ring fitting
contest where passenger is allowed
to spear the iron circles.
Another contest that raised much
laughter and which might be introduc-
ed at other sports meetings of the fu-
ture was Kona nightingale (jackass)
race The little animals were blind
folded and three men did the navigat.
the quadruped, one led 1t by a rope
ing for each animal One man rode
and one brought up the rear with a
stick There was some fun then, for
the jackasses refused to bulge when
they could not see where they were
going. The riders did all kinds of
jockey stunts, the man with the rope
pulled with all his might and the whip
per-up did his little bit, but all to no
avail in most cases. Some of the jack
asses did nothing but kick up their
heels; others went sideways like a
crab and some sat down and refused
to bulge. At last one tiny animal
manager to be induced to cross the
finishing line and was awarded the
prize.
Several good horse races were run
off and one between Notley's Rewco.
and Pnrdy's Sunrise was won by the
former horse. The distance was a.
quarter Of a mile and the race was a.
good one Another match race be-
tween ReWeo and Japanese-owned
horse resulted in q win for Notley's
entry. There were many other races,
and the crowd enjoyed itself to the
limit.

FORLAsT YEAR

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondence
HlLO, July although there was
an increase in tonnage of shipping en-.
tering the port of Hilo by Isl ,577 tons
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1915, as compared with the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1914, there was a de-
crease in the amount of customs duty
collected by the sum OF S15, 9.S2.
This is accounted for by the new re-
duced tariff that came into effect
when the Democrats took office and
got down to cases in the way of tariff
revision.
Collector of the Port Byron K. Baird
has just completed his figures for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1915 He
has forwarded them to Collector
Franklin, the head of the custom SER
vice in the territory The increased
tonnage of the entered shipping shows
that the port of Hilo is growing rap
idly. and that still larger shipping
trade may well be expected in the
future.
Collector Baird reports that during
the IL months ending June 30, 1914,
2O2 vessels entered the port. The net
tonnage of the vessels came to 1868.
During the IL months ending June 80,
1915, 241 vessels. aggregating Ss5,275
tons came to Hilo.
The custom collections In Hilo for
the year ending June 80, 1914, came to
$70,712.13, while for the same period
ending last month the collections am
ounted to $50, 1921.
The figures given regarding ship
ping do not include the Inter-Island
steamers or warships.
