- " ~ %

The Florida Citrus Exchange
recognizes the fact that the in
creasing production of oranges
and grapefruit In Florida makes
necessary that more people be
taught to eat more of these
fruits If grove operations are to
become and continue profitable.
Alone among the marketing
agencies, the Exchange has for
years been conducting an edu-
cational campaign for Florida
fruit. While of benefit to all
growers in the State, this work
brings greatest returns to those
who ship under the Exchange
trade-name SealdsWeet. House
wives more and more demand
fruit that is so marked.

Pineapple Company Will
Extend County Belt Road

An extension of the relocated belt
road beyond the Kuiaha homesteads,
for distance of several miles, is
soon to be commenced by the Haiku
Fruit e Packing Company. The coun-
ty supervisors agreed to proposition
from the pineapple company to this
effect at its last meeting, and as soon
as the survey can be accurately deter
mined, work will begin. The company
is willing to undertake the expense be
cause of large quantity of pineapple
land which will soon come into bear
ing and which the road will make aid
in marketing.
The county engineer in conjunction
with the loan fund engineering force,
and the engineers of the Kahului rail
road have been busy on the project
during the past week. The railroad
has been brought into the matter be-
cause of right of way which it holds
for the extension of its lines in that
district. The extended road will be
part of the cutoff which will ultimate
ly cut out several almost prohibitive
hills in the vicinity of Peahi, and
shorten the distance between Kuiaha
and Kakipi gulch by about miles.

Mrs. McCOnkey Is Given
Farewell Reception

Mrs. Wilbur f. McConkey, who
leaves shortly for the mainland to be
away for at least several years, was
the guest of honor at most pleasant
reception given by the Ladies Aid
Society at the Paia Community House,
last Tuesday afternoon from to o.
clock. Several hundred friends of the
popular and beloved matron assem-
bled during the afternoon. The main
hall of the Community House had been
arranged in drawing-room effect, with
rugs, tables, and cozy-corners, and
shaded lights cast soft glow over the
pretty scene. The artistic decorations
were the work of Mrs. j. T. Fantom
| and Miss Mosser. During the after
moon choice refreshments consisting
of ice-cream, cake and delicious punch
were served.
While the reception was in progress,
a handsome suitcase, steamer rug,
and a substantial remembrance were
delivered at Mrs. McConkey's home,
as surprise, for use on the journey,
and at the journeys end.
Mrs. McConkey with her children,
John Ross and Virginia, expect to
leave by the August transport, to be
followed later by DR., McConkey.

Work On Two Hotels
For Wailuku Begins
Much Building Activity On Maui At
: Present - Maui DrygOOdS To En-
large-New Store On MarketStreet

Work was begun this week on the
new Grand Hotel to be built at the
corner of Main and Church streets.
Wailuku. The old Lyons building is
being removed and work has begun on
the foundations by J. Picanco. who
has the contract for the masonry
work. The contract for the super
structure has been let to a Japanese
firm on Market street. The new build
ing is to cost, complete, except for
furniture, between $4,000 and $23, 900
and is to be finished by the middle of
November.
Much Building In Progress
A building boom is on Maui at the
present time, despite the soaring pri-
ces of materials Besides the Grand
Hotel, work is already well under
way for the new main building of the
Wailuku Hotel, which is to cost about
$4,000. On Market street, Wailullu,
three new buildings are going up at
present. Two are on the makai side
of the street on property owned by the
Ahulii estate, and will be occupied by
the stores of Y. Uchida and X. Kawa-
hara respectively. On the opposite
side of the street two story structure
has been started which will be used
as Japanese hotel. These buildings
replace old shacks which had outlived
their usefulness.
Radical changes are being made in
the mauka half of the postoffice build
ing, formerly occupied by w. f. Crock
ett as law office, but which will sooh
be taken possession of as the dental

An unusual amount of work is also
In progress on all of the plantations of
Maui in way of building, and the coun-
ty has a number of school structures
under way. The new Baldwin Memoir
ial church is employing quite a force
OF men, and work will probably begin
before long on the new Maui High
School building, at Hamakuapoko,
which is to be built largely from priv
ate funds.
Maui Drygoods To Enlarge
A suitcase has been made by the
Grand Hotel Company of the fine lot
on the mauka corner of Church and
Main streets, directly opposite the
hotel location, and also just across
Main street, from the First National
Bank, to the Maui Drygoods & Grocery
Company. 1t is understood that the
mercantile company will shortly erect
a $4,000 store building which will be
used as a furniture department annex
of the main store. 1t has a lease for
25 years on the property, which was
leased in the first instance from T. B.
Lyons by the Grand Hotel Company.

BOYS BABY BEEF CLUBS.

Changes in the beef industry have
resulted in the organization in various
States of boys baby beef clubs. A
number of State agricultural colleges
are now arranging, in cooperation
with the department, baby beef shows
and contests to be held in the fall.
This movement originated in Texas,
where it has proved so successful that
the Texas Baby Beef Club now has a
membership of more than 1900.
This pioneer club was organized to
encourage the fattening of more cattle
in Texas. For many years Texas had
raised feeder cattle, but instead of
fattening them on homegrown milo,
kafir, and feterita, the farmers of the
State had sent them to the feed lots
of the corn belt This, it was felt
was a mistake. By the efficient use of
economical feed to produce high-grade
calves without loss of milk fat into
highly finished, maturely formed year
lings, known as baby beeves, it was
believed that profitable returns could
be secured to Texas cattle feeders.
In order to populariZe the product
ion of baby beef, therefore, a prom
inent breeder in Coleman county start
ed baby beef contest among the
farm boys. The boys purchased their
calves by giving notes payable when
the calves We're marketed as baby
beef, The idea proved successful from
the first, and the Annual Boys En-
campment and Baby Beef Contest,
held at Fort Worth under the aus
pices of the National Feeders and
Breeders Show, has increased each
year in attendance and exhibits Last
March 300 boy feeders of pigs and
baby beeves gathered to receive in
struction and to show their stock
over 100 well-finished baby beeves of
excellent type were eXhibitd.
In number of the classes the boys
competed with their calves against
older and more experienced feeders.
Twenty ribbons We're won in these cla-
sess by club members. Three brothers
from Clay County won two frsts and
two seconds, and one of these broth
ers also obtained the grand champion
ship in the competition among club
members only.
According to the custom at fat
stock shows, the cattle We're sold in
the open market. The boys stock
brought a price averaging above the
top of the regular market, the extra
price being justified by the quality of
the carcasses. On the hoof the cattle
weighed about $50 pounds per head,
and the dressing percentage was CO.'S.

Weather Bureau May Have
Station On Haleakala

If the ambition of U. s. Weather
Observer A. NJ. Hamrick, now on Maui
for the first time, can be made a real
ity, permanent meteorological stat
ion will be established on the summit
of Haleakala, and careful records kept
by some competent person. DR.. Ham
rick, who has been in charge of the
weather bureau work in Honolulu for
something more than a year, believes
that much valuable data might be Sc
cured by such station-data that
could be secured from no other locat-
ion.
The Maui chamber of commerce has
been planning to put a permanent
care-talIer for the rest house on the
mountain once more, and it is quite
possible that a man might be found
qualified to combine both jobs. Presi-
dent r. A. Wadsworth of the chamber
expects to take the matter up with
DR.. Hamrick with this end in view.

Il. W. Rice Buys CornweIl
Ranch For $25O,O0O

The Cornwell ranch containing 35,-
600 acres has been sold by A. M.
Brown and Mrs. Blanche Walker to
Harold w. Rice, at consideration be-
lieved to be $250,0O0. The purchaser
gains direct ownership to 10000 acres,
$4,000 acres in leaseholds and 5000
to $500 head of cattle. Mrs. Walkers
interest has been held in the name of
Walter f. Dillingham; and r. w. At
kinson.
During the past year Rice has pur-
chased large number of pieces of
land in the Makawao region, including
the 1000 acre ranch of the Ferreira es-
tate, and he is probably now the larg-
est individual land owner on Maui.

No Change in Wilson Cabinet
Unless MIR. Gregory Resigns

Washington, Dec. 11.-Evcry men,
ber of President Wilson's Cabinet,
with the possible exception Of At
torney General Gregory, is expected
to remain in office after March a,
when the Presidents second term be-
gins. 1t was learned definitely today
that all of them have been or will be
asked to keep their posts.
Reports concerning possible resig-
nations have centered chiefly around
Secretaries McAdoo, Houston and
Baker and the Attorney General. 1t
has been taken for granted that Post
master General Burleson and Secre-
taries Lansing, Daniels and Wilson
would remain, and indefinite rumors
that Secretary Redfield might wish to
retire to private business were denied
some time ago.
Secretary McAdoo personally de-
MED that he had any intention of re-
signing. The reports in his case
have been most persistent.
Regarding Mr.. Houston it became
known that the officials Of Washing

such as the refrigerating plant, the
deck winches and anchor hoists, was
operated by electric motors supplied
