$500 men
President Wilson, in an official
statement described the movement to

by the president he will go to con
gress and lay the entire situation be-
fore it. He will then ask for authority

PARK DEPARTMENT HAS
ITS TROUBLES. AFTER
SUGAR CANE, is CUT

Twice a year, the experiment station
makes trouble for the park depart
ment. And when it does, it does a
good job of it and makes plenty. At
least that is what A. 4. Vierra, super
intendent of parks, says.
Cane is cut at the station twice q
year. School children come for it, as
it is given to whoever asks, and then
run across the street to Makiki Park
and sit down for the feast. Perhaps
you can't eat much sugar cane, but
you are not a sugar-hungry kiddie.
The boys and girls who cali for the
cane can and do eat a lot of it.. AMI
they don't care what they do with
the remnants. That is where Vierra's
trouble comes in. They throw them
all around the park. With many, many
school children nibbling at big hunks
of cane it does. not take long to lit
ter up the little park. Sugar cane is
all about. .r=. l.. ?. -.
And then come the complaints. Be-
fore half an hour has gone by they
begin to pour in BY nightfall the
whole neighborhood is up in arms
about the condition of the park, And
Vierra knows about it. All his ar
rangements for the next day have to
be changed and a gang rushed down
there to clean UP the park. ~
The cane. was cut last month, ac-
cerding TO the park departments

of supervisors, and Vierra's troubles
are over for another six months

dered in his camp near Willow Chute
during the night of September 18th of
last year. He was held in Jail for some

did not follow, he was released during
the January term of court.
Dave Brown, who plead guilty to
stealing suit of clothes, was given four
months in the Parish Jail.
