When you enter the agricultural de-

by the grandeur and magnificence OF

harvest. You can hear the voice of
nature calling you back to the soil
that is opportunity knocking at your
door. II is a good chance to spend a
quiet hour in contact with the purity
and perfection of nature and TO sweet
en- your life with its fragrance, elevate
your ideals with its beauty and expand
your imagination with its power.

UNIVERSAL PEACE

This nation is now in the midst of
a controversy as to how best to pro-
mote universal pea ce. That question
we will leave for diplomats to dis
cuss, but peace within nations is no
less important than peace between
nations and it is heavily laden with
prosperity for every citizen within
our commonwealth
Many leading politicians and ofttimes
political platforms have declared war
upon business and no cabinet crisis
ever resulted. Many men have stood
in high places and hurled gas bombs"
at industry; thrust bayCnets into bus
mess enterprises and bombardea as
riculture with indifference. Party
leaders have many times broken DIP
lomatic relations with industry: sent
political sviators spying through the
affairs of business. and political Sob
marines have sent ,Orpe0oes crushing
into the destiny OF commerce. Dur
ing the past quarter of q century We
have fought MANY duel with prog
ress. permitted many politicians to
carry OF eueTiliih WARFARE against
civilization and point a pistol at the
heart of honest enterprise
No man should be permitted to cry

PINEAPPLE men
make REDUCTION
in PRICE LISTS
Discount of Two and a Half Per
Cent Announced In Annual
Packers Schedule

A voluntary reduction in the price
of canned pineapple and cannery prod
ucts has been made by the Hawaii
pineapple packers. Notices Of the re-
duction are contained in the annual
price lists just issued, which fix prices
at a discount Of rs per cent on
the basis of the prices prevailing last
year. .:.. -.
The issuing of the pineapple packers
price lists is made somewhat later
than usual this year, the uncertainty
OF markets having made the packers
hesitate before fixing prices. The re-
duction was finally determined upon,
however, largely because of the less
ened consumption due to the cutting
off of the markets of Europe on ac-
count of the international war, and
the consequent ,adyisability of increas-
ing the demand by making pineapples
cheaper.
Canned goods men generally are ex'
pecting "a tremendous call for goods
of all kinds from Europe when once
the war is over. Practically all the
European nations, whether involved
in the conflict or not, have curtailed
buying orders. and the end of the war
will find depleted stocks in all coun-
tries, with the United States as the
only logical market at which they may
be replenished.

SMALL HAUL BY THIEF !. ~.
WHO TAKES BIG RISKS
Only $28.70 Secured BY Rob-
ber-Four People In Build
ing at Time of Crime

Robbery and assault among the
bookshelves of the public library was
the bold crime committed a few min
utes after 9 O'Clock last night when
Mariana Aurrello. the Filipino assist.
ant, was knocked senseless and
robbed of a money bag containing
$2S.70 of the library's funds. =
The whole affair Is puzzling to the
police who questioned Mariana last
night The reading room was desert
ed, but the two Korean desk boys, Cap
Choy and Han Yung, we're still check
ing books less than 80 feet from the
scene of the assault William Zen,
the Chinese janitor, was in a room in
the Eva wing of the building when
he was called to the scene by a cry
from Mariana. !
The story is that; Mariana counted
the cash in the drawer and found SO
in gold and $3.50 II silver. AS was
customary, he put the money in a bag
to lock in the Office safe. He had
proceeded only 20 feet on his way
when he was assailed. He describes
his assailant as q short man, clad in
q Qofh C0d6ls VIII -hk1IAh1 StOucCIos -
Upon hearing Mariana cry the 9TH
er three boys rushed 70 the passage to
find the Filipino boy lying In heap
with an ugly swelling over the eye.
The third window in the rear of the
book racks was found to be open when
the lights were flashed, but there was
no sign of the assailant.
The police were called and they
learned that Zen had locked all the
windows early in the evening, and
the only way to open them was from
the second floor. Mariana was taken
to the station for questioning and la
ter to his home. He is not badly in.
jured but is neryously upset over his
experience.
Large sums of money are never
kept in the library, the amount of coin
on hand rarely being more than SO.
Money is not handled at the institu-
tion, except in the cases of small
fines being paid by patrons who have
kept books cut longer than the pre-
scribed time limit. - .=...... +

meter system
IS ADVOCATED
FOR HONOLULU
Directors of Chamber of Com.
merce Think Result Would
Be Water Rate Cut

That the establishment OF meter
system would be the only economical
solution to the problem Of the water
works which brought on an increase
of rate charges, is the trend of the
speeches being made by many mem
bers at the chamber of commerce
meeting this afternoon.
Secretary Raymond C. Brown report
ed having interviewed assistant man,
ager OF the water and sewer depart
ment Harry Murray, and learned that
the increases in rates would bring
about uniform charge for all users.
The old arbitrary system of charge
would be abolished, and users Of wa
ter would be charged according to
square feet of irrigated property and
square feet Of Improvement space,
was Mr.. Murray's view.
George r. Carter spoke upon the
great waste of water, as did Emil
Berndt and others Mr.. Carter cited
figures to prove that cities OF the
mainland are able to reduce consump-
tion from 40 to 60 per cent by using
meters 1t would then be possible to
tell how much water was supplied
and how much consumed With the
waste once cut down there would be
a corresponding decrease in the cost
of maintenance and eventually low
ering of rates. Mr.. Carter said the
supervisors should consider installing
water meters with a low rate, and let
the system pay for itself
The matter was referred to the COM
mittee on county and municipal af.
fairs to investigate the justice of the
increased water rate, in its relation
to the cost of supplying water.

Sugar dealers in New York and
other centers on the mainland all feel
that the price of sugar will remain
high for many months" said ]. P.
Cooke, president and manager of Alex
ander Il Baldwin, Limited, who re-
turned to the islands yesterday after
trip, which took him to several of
the cities on the Atlantic coast.
"The consensus of opinion among
those interested in sugar is that there
will be no decided slump in price dur
ing the continuance of the war, and
the great cut in production on the con.
tinent Of Europe.
"As to the tariff, find that great
change has taken place. Businessmen.
not alone sugar men but bankers and
other well informed people, seem to
feel satisfied that the Democrats will
have to put q revenue tariff on sugar.
at is commonly known that the
Democrats face a big deficit, and that
the national revenues have been cur
tailed by business conditions arising
from the war. The war tax soon ex-
pires and is unpopular, so that reve-

only alternative for the party now in
power, though no one seems to think
that President Wilson has changed
his personal views on free sugar.
There is on the mainland rapidly
growing sentiment in favor of larg-
er army and navy, which will probably
have itb effect on legislation. Any
army and navy increases will cost
money and will bring the revenue
question the more prominently to the
fore"
Mr.. Cooke has no information con-
corning a rumored intention Of ship
ping companies to increase freight
rates on sugar.
While he was on the mainland Mr..
Cooke had the qualification of seeing.

Company. brought suit for 100000,
alleging wrongful dismissal from the
