HILo, Jan. e.-Hilo bay is a verit-

Hamakua coast is being battered by
the worst storm experienced for the
last 20 years.
So rough is Hilo bay that the liner
Matsonia has had to get up steam and

made in such hurry that some Of the
crew were left ashore. The Matsonia

Heavy Rains in Honolulu.
If the month of January is trying
to make a record for itself in the mat

weather in the last 30shours has given
it a good start with a total of I'll

January this year has produced so

has brought the supervisors into the
beginning of the year 1915 with an
"overdraft" OF nearly $4,000.
CITY officials skilled In forecasting
revenues estimate that the receipts or
the municipality for 1916 will not in
crease over those OF 1915 by more
than s2a:O0O. The consequence Is, aeE
cording to the figures of record In
the auditors office, that $4,000 or SO
Of this over-appropriation of 1915 will
have to. be met by a corresponding
reduction In the amount available lot
1916 improvements, additions to
equipment and other city expenses.
Figures at the auditors office yes
terday showed that the supervisors
actually spent in 1915 $S2,997.52 more
than the city receipts amounted to.
In addition to this, they appropriated
in 1915 s64,319.72. This, like the pre-
ceding $50, 900, must be met out of the
1916 revenues. It rolls up the stag
gering total Of $147,317.24.
This is in the general fund alone.
The permanent improvement fund is
also over-appropriated by more than
$1,000. BY law the road tax and school
funds cannot be thus over-appropriat-
ed SO that they are not mortgaged for
the future.

|BE WISER, NOT SAD
Here's the Story Of a Mossback
Who Was Stubborn.
Your Help Needed In Teaching This
Community Dangers From Flies
Which Spread Disease.

Once there was Q man In this town
who thought the germ idea was all
bunk" He declared up and down that
1t was q fad Of the doctors and a
scheme to scare people out of their
wits and make money playing on their
fears. He is wiser than he was nine
years ago. but the lesson was expen-
sive and sad-he. lost one OF his chill
dren with scarlet fever because he
thought the disease wasn't catching.
This is an enlightened community.
but there are still lot Of people here
who pooh-pooh all the fuss we're max.
ing about the fly danger. They jeer
and insist it's the work Of bunch of
slick doctors and fool women who
ought to be home minding their babies.
You would be surprised at the number
Of mossbacks who think this fly talk
is "all bunk" too. A mossback is all
right until he becomes a danger to the
health of the neighborhood by his stub
born ignorance in refusing to help
wipe out the sources Of disease and
exterminate disease carriers.
Make 1t your business to convert the
mossbacks and get them into the army
that is to wage war on the whole fly
tribe here this summer. Once they are
on 'our side" they will be valuable
fighters because Of their stubbornness,

have the patience to read. A hundred

these have been redeemed from the

One Of Our ToWnsWomen Tells
How She Rid Her Home Of
Fly Pest Last Summer.

The thoughtful husband and wife
take great pride in the fact that few
flies are to be seen about their home
during the summer. It should be the
proud boast OF every family in this
town, for the absence Of flies indicates
clean and healthful home place.
We were discussing recently the
proposition Of local campaign against
flies with one of the best known WON.

possible" she declared, land I'm sure
that IL we all work together we can
reduce the amount OF disease so per
cent here this summer-especially
summer complaint among children and
typhoid fever among the men and
women.
DO you know We had hardly any
flies around our place last summer 7
OF course, II was cool summer. but l
believe our efforts to be free Of flies
had much to do with their absence.
I'VE screened the house early. We
hung two fly traps near the kitchen
door close to the garbage can. We put
one trap at the door opening from the
dining room into the side yard. We
burned most Of the garbage-peelings
and things. We had the manure hauled
away every Saturday morning. And
We used plenty OF disinfectant around
the clubhouse. II wasn't much trouble

The fly. on the contrary, butts into
everybody's business. spreading trou-
BILE as he goes. In the disguise OF
harmiessness he preys on ignorance
and carries into our homes the germs
of some OF the most common and fatal
diseases that afflict this country.
This Is the way he performs. The
fly feeds at a spittoon which has just
been used by consumptive. On his
hairy feet and body he carries away
tuberculosis germs. Or he visits q
vault containing the excrement OF q
typhoid patient Or he explores dead
animal and loads up with putrefaction

he brings his poisonous presence into
our homes and rubs his filthy person
on the mouth Of the cream pitcher. on
the butter, on the bread. or on the loaf
sugar-or on the lips OF baby asleep

the person Of delicate stomach and is
disgusting to everyone. But you must
know the rotten truth for the protec-
tion Of yourself and your family. II
you really will appreciate Just how
filthy and dangerous the housefy is,

Outlines School Survey Plans

Before a large audience in the Reno
high school Monday night, Dean
George F. James and Prof. Roman
20 Adams discussed the work of the
State School Survey Commission.
The meeting was conducted under
the auspicies of the Parent Teachers
Association and was the first of a
series of three which will be held
each Monday evening during this
month.
In a concise talk Dean James said
that the commission desired to find
out the worth of the teachers. the
necessity for having a State board of
education. how the school funds and
accommodations can best be distrib-
uted, what the proper course of study
should be in the grade and high
schools. how the State Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction can best be
selected, how teachers can be given
the best training and how far COM
pulsory education can be enforced in
the State.

GOOD 0lO OAO!

In these days of suffrage move
ments. women's civic leagues, and
so on, it is interesting to find some
thing like the following in print,
which we take from an exchange:
Newspapers throughout the coun-
try are heralding the approach of
Mothers Day. May Ia, and perhaps
the spirit of the celebration is worthy
of all the consideration that a be
given it. but at the same time we
think, as do many others. that dear
old Dad is deserving of a wee bit of
recognition.
The dear mother who bore you and
tenderly cared for you through the
difficult trials that accompany infan-
cy, shows her maternal love in every
glance and action. She cannot con-
ceal it. But with Dad it is different.
He loves you dearly, butthat affection
is confined within his heart and does
not radiate in looks and actions. 1t
is not his nature to be demonstrative
in this.
Whether his labors are in the of
flee, shop or field, it is for his loved
ones he tolls. 1t is his ambition to
accumulate sufficient worldly goods
to provide for his family should he
be called to the unknown.
Have you not eel men of power
full physique who you thought void
of tender passions, yet when death
stalked in their family they were
completely overwhelmed, their huge
frames shaking violently with heart
rending sobs. Their grief is often
more apparent than that of the gen.
tier sex and more touching to look
upon, and it is because that great
love has been pent up within them.
Here's to Father, Good Old Dad,
There's not much credit he's ever had.
Give him a hug, a kiss, and say
"Dear Old Dad" on Mothers Day.
