81 think prosperity is n trust" A.
W. T. Bottomley, manager Of Bishop
Co., told the Ad clubites at yester-
days noon-hour session. "Hawaii must
develop its own resources, and the
means now being showered upon our
citizens ought 10 be kept intact for that
purpose. No outside capital is going to
come here to build up Hawaiian indus
tries for US. What is done we must do
ourselves and SO say that the flood
of gold that is coming to Hawaii in
the form Of dividends is a sacred trust
which those who receive it must make
the best use Of.
81 have great faith in the future
development Of Hawaii he said. "a
Moses will arise here some day who will
lead US toward greater things. l do
not know what direction the develop
ment will take, but I hope to see the
day when we will own all the steam
ships that carry our produce to market.
Then too want to see more railroads
built to connect up and open up the
great stretches of undeveloped lands
we have In the Islands,
In For Big Bump
Protecting his remarks Mr.. Bottom
ley told the story of the window
washer lady who fell out of a fifth
story window and was duly buried soon
after. One of her co-workers who was
cleaning the second story window was
asked whether she thought the late la.
mented was prepared. She said yes, she
thought she was, because as she passed
her she said, "Well, I'm in for a
bump" Hawaii is in for bump, Mr.
Bottomley said, unless the people who
are throwing their dividends around as
if there would be no end to the golden
| food, take heed. There Is an end Ia
all good things, and a good many PEG
pie are Gin for a bump" unless they
slow up a bit. High sugar prices will
not last forever.
/ - believe the threatened loss of the
| sugar tariff in l9l3-l4, when everyone
was scared stiff and we thought the
sugar industry and the Islands were
on the road 70 wreck and ruin, was thu
hest thing that has happened to Ha
wall for q good many years." Mr.
Bottomley said. at made us econo
mize and taught us caution. 1t made
US slow up.
Hang on to Cash
Many persons ask the bankers II
advise them what to do with thei
dividends. l believe the best thing Il
do with the surplus cash now is to hole
it unless it can be turned back anC
used for building up home industries
When the bump cOmes-and it il
coming after the war ends-the maj

going to have the opportunity to picl
up the bargains. There will be a gooC
many of them in sight Hang on t
your dividends, hold them until yO'
know you are not going to lose them, ,
was his advice.
