When Chris Running and o. J..
,Glaserud, secretary and financial sec
rotary Of the Warden lodge, were seen
today relative to this announcement
they said that their organization a
been unable to take any steps for ar
ranging a meeting, In fact, they did
not think it could be done, partly on
account Of the summer heat, and
partly on account of the fact that the
lodges annual picnic to Maple Lake
takes place three days before the lee
ture should be delivered in case ar
rangementsl could be made.
> MIS-. h. hIlutSoH, president Ol LLe
Gyda lodge Of the Daughters Of Nor
way, stated that her lodge had not
been asked to invite Mr.. Ring. She
was surprised to hear that a lecture
could be announced without previous
consultation with the officers Of the
lodge.
AS matters stand today, there APP
pears to be a mix-up somewhere, and
unless things are cleared up to the
satisfaction of all parties concerned
Mr.. Ring will not give the lecture .ac-
cording to the announcement from
Bismarck. .....

GOOD ROADS AND NEWSPAPER RECORDS.

Newspaper records for Hawaii were made last
SATURDAY which speak for themselves as TO the
strength of the Good Roads Edition idea and the
value of organized publicity in accomplishing a
community aim.
The star Bulletin Saturday issued G2 pages.
the largest daily paper published in Hawaii II
set record for all newspapers of the territory as
we'll for the Star Bulletin The largest previous
edition published by this paper was 4s pages
This 62page edition contained 1915 inches or ZIG
columns Of paid advertising, equivalent to approx.
inately 81 pages of such advertising
In advertising as. well as in number Of pages a
record was set for Hawaii. The largest previous
volume of advertising published in any daily paper
in Hawaii regular issue, wasthat of the Star Bulle
tin in its Maui County Fair edition of November Is.
1916. That contained s76s inches of advertising or
19s columns.
9 OF SATURDAYS paper, 5000 copies were printed. An
idea of the total size OF the paper may be gained
from the fact that the 1000 copies weighed four and
onehalf tons.
This achievement in newspaper publication was
made possible BY the cooperation of the community
in supporting the essential value of the good roads
idea. The Star Bulletin is already hearing of the
definite results accomplished by its concentra.
ton of convincing facts and figures in one system
attic array before public officials and the taxpayers
and residents generally.

MISUSE
OF ROAD FUNDS

Wade Warren Thayer has sent in a
protest to the board OF supervisors re-
garding the way Alewa road was re-
Gently repaired resulting, he declares.
in an. absolute throwing away of the
money. So
The protest says that the road was
repaired but as no asphalt was used
the recent rains. entirely washed out
the road again. -
Il am aware that tRe city ana coun
ty is pinch ed for. funds he says, but
i respectfully protest against the mis-
use OF such funds as are available and
this method of spending the public
money.
As another example of the waste
he says that for the last three days
two men have been working along
Alewa road cleaning the weeds and
bushes out They have no supervision
over them and as a result spend the
major portion of the time sitting on
the edge of the bank, smoking and
looking at the view.
The money used to pay these men
should be expended in repairs and not
for furnishing soft jobs" he adds.
