CAN'T BEAR ARMS
But BEARS ARMIES
Woman Has Always Borne
the Brunt of the Burden
and Horror of War.

It is stated by some in opposition to
extending the franchise to women,
that they cannot bear arms. A cur

objection. A soldier in all the glory

sbut ] can bear armies!"
And in this bit OF repartee lies the
answer to all the arguments to woman
suffrage which are based on the phys.
zeal differences between the work Of
men and women. OF course, there are
differences and 1t Is because there are
such differences that the vote Of the
woman is needed to make complete
and most effective the results of the
ballot.
A few years ago one Of the best
known and most skilled physicians

Death OF Kamaaina

Eilert H. Pieper, for twenty-eight
years prominent resident of central
Maui, died very suddenly at nine o.
clock on last Sunday night at his home
in Paia He had been unwell for
several days but his condition was not
believed to be at all serious. Growing
tired of lying in bed, he had arisen and
was in the act of dressing when the
end came.
The funeral took place from the
family residence on Monday afternoon,
internment being in the Wailuku Gem
etery. 1t was conducted under the
auspices of Aloha Lodge No. 8, X. of
P, of which the deceased was a mem
Der for many years. The pall-bearers
were-J. T. Fantom, D. H. Case, l..
M. Baldwin, w. A. Mckay, r. A. Wads-
worth and e. B. Carley.
Mr.. Pieper was a native of Eden
berg, Germany, where ne was born
siXty-one years ago. He came to
America when young man, and in
1888 he came to the Islands as a car
penter on the old Kaluanui plantation
in upper Paia, then in operation, and
under the management of Won Greve-
meyer. Several years later he moved
to Paia and opened a general store
which he operated for ten years, when
he sold it and went into the hotel
business, which he managed until the
! time of his death.
The deceased was married in 1890
to Mrs. Inez Vincent, who survives
him. He is also survived by one
daughter, Mrs. Agnes STANCE, of Homo
lulu. Three step-children are also
! Iliving-Enos Vincent, of Wailuku;
Joqun Vincent, of Kula; and Mrs. w.
A. Clark, of Makawao. A sister of the
deceased, Mrs. Herman G. Suhr, is a
resident of Hooper, Nebraska.

$2O-PineS Likely
For Next Season
Coed Demand For Product At Pre-
sent Haiku District Recovering
From Bad Year-GOOd Winter Crop

There is every prospect that the
pineapple growers of Hawaii will re-
ceive $40 or better per ton for their
first class fruit next year. Manager
Taveres of the Maui Pineapple Com
pany stated yesterday that based on
the present selling price of canned
pines on the coast the proportion to
the grower would be about $3.50 per
ton. AS the prices for the farmer,
however, are fixed in May each year
on the basis of the selling price at
that time, the present price of S16.10
per ton will continue until that time.
The Maui crop of pines promises to
be better for next season than for sew
eral years, as the new paintings made
since the destructive season of 1914
will be then coming into bearing.
In the Haiku district the winter crop
of pines which is now going to the
canneries is unusually heavy for this
season. The quality of fruit is also
very good. The canneries have had
some trouble in getting sugar
recently, owing to shortage in supply
of refined in the islands, but by buying
in odd lots in various places have
managed to keep running.

Rural Free Delivery
Proposed For Haiku
POstOfiiCe Department Would Open
First Service Of Kind In Islands
Petition Being Circulated

The first rural free delivery mail
route in the territory is soon to be
established on Maui, if the people of
the Haiku and Kaupakalua districts
decide that they want it. 1t is under
stood that the postofIice authorities
have not only offered to establish such
a service, but have suggested it to the
Pauwela residents as a substitute for
their postofiice, which was abolished
after the postmaster was arrested for
defalcation of funds of the office.
The Haiku Farmers Association is
at present busy having the necessary
petition circulated, and as soon as the
required proportion of residents along
the proposed route have signed it,,
agreeing to make use of the service,
and to maintain suitable mail boxes in
front of their homes, the post officials
have promised to act.
