Don't Let the
Christmas
Shopping
Dollar Go Out
Of Town

ITS as plain as pikestaff that the dollar
you take Gut of town seldom comes
back. Ii you spend your dollar in town
it stays here. 1t circulates in the commu-
nifty. 1t is living thing. The dollar goes
to the butcher, the baker. 1t goes to the
printer. The local merchant with whom
you spend it pays it out in wages. 1t makes
for the individual well being. 1t makes for
the community we'll being.
Therefore circulate your Christmas dol
lars in town. Be community builder. It
might be we'll to emphasize the fact that you
cannot do any better out of town than you
can right here with our local merchants.
With that fact confronting you, why
hesitate about spending your Christmas dol.
lars with the home merchants? The local
merchants are progressive and part of the
community in which you live and in which
you are vitality interested. They'll give you
value received for every dollar you spend.
Besides, they'll circulate that dollar OF
yours in town. It will stay here. If you
take it out of town you are injuring the
community. You are injuring your neigh
Dor. You are injuring yourself.
Circulate your dollar here.
Do your Christmas shopping in the home
stores.

Spirit Pervade City in Honor
of 18th Celebration

Honolulu ignored the mourning oi

her best bib and tucker for the In
coming maIihinis and the honor OF
the 18th Mid-Pacific Carnival. Every
where one turned there was a blaze
of yellow and green, red, white and
blue. Everywhere, too, there was the
Carnival atmosphere which triumphed
over the slight drizzle that fell from
time to time, and fiared out anew after
every shower.
With the work of the carpenters
and decorators just about completed

ON TWO ISSUES

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 81.
Secretary of State Lansing has
asked the British government,
through Ambassador Walter
Hines Page, for prompt replies to
notes sent by the United States
protesting against British seizure
of American mail and against the
British methods of applying the
trading-with-the-enemy act.
1t is contended by the United
States that Britain, to cripple
Germany and Austria as much as
possible, is searching American
mail in an unwarrantable manner.
1t is also contended that the Brit
ish ban ON goods which even indi-
rectly might be classed as German
products is illegal in the extent tc
which it has been carried.
Secretary Lansing has received,
cables from Ambassador Pen

Whether or not the United

thrashed olt by the United States
senate, it seems probable today, as
a result of criticism of President
Wilson'S course in the European

The senate today adopted res.

on foreign relations, asking that
the president submit to the upper
house the correspondence between
the United States and Korea when

The senate wants this informa-

Belgium by the Germans was not
protested by the United States.
