Against Rice And Son; To
Recover $1,000
ALLEGE DEFENDANTS
VIOLATED CONTRACT
Levering Files Amended Pc
tition In Suit Against
Bells; Court News

Raymond and Harold Zimmerman
have filed suit in the common pleas
court asking an injunction against C.
=. Rice & Son, partnership doing
business at Danville, to prevent the
sale of chattels seized on execution to
satisfy judgment held by the defend
ants. The plaintiffs allege that the de-
PENDANTS contracted with them in con-
sideration of the payment of $50 at
once and $50 in GO or 80 days to stay
execution on the judgment for that
length of time in order that they might
attempt to secure money with which
to pay the claim and that the defend
ants have Violated this contract and
the sheriff is now offering property be-
longing to the Zimmermans for sale.
The plaintiffs say that the seizure of
this property and offering it for sale
has caused them irreparable damage
and ask that they may be awarded
%l,OO0 by way of recompense for this
damage. Wayne Stillwell, William G.
and William M. Rooms are attorneys
for the plaintiffs.

FREE DEMONSTRATION
AT THE KNOX CO. FAIR

The Ohio Experiment station,
through its various departments, is
studying the problems with which the
farmer has to contend. The results of
investigation and experimentation are
published from time to time through
out the year in the form of bulletins.
Many of the truths contained in these
publications can be put to practical
ers in Ohio and the adjoining states
are reading the bulletins of the sta
tiOn. Are you one of them? See our
demonstrators and get your name on
the mailing list.
In order to reach more of the farm
ers in the state, special illustrative ex-
hibits have been prepared, to be in
stalled at state, local and county fairs
These exhibits illustrate, in a graphic
way, some of the truths which have
been discovered by years of study and
experim tation.
Some of the lines of work which
will be illustrated at the Knox county
fair are as follows: Analysis of farm
manures, plant food removed in farm
crops, selection of varieties, thick and
thin seeding of wheat and oats, early
and late planting of corn, insects, nox-
ious weeds, feeding farm animals, fer
tilizer experiments, and many other
items of interest to the farmer.
Daily demonstrations will be made
in the use of the Babcock milk tester.
Samples of sweet milk will be tested
free of charge. Samples Of soil will be
tested for lime. Weed and insect spec
linens will be identified. While at the
fair, look for the big tent and the sign,

Sheriff Mossholder Acts In
Forbing Suit Against
Omar CO.

Sheriff Walter B. Mossholder went
to Columbus Monday to serve a sum-
mons on Secretary Of State Fulton in
the matter of the suit brought in the
local courts recently by the Forbing
Drilling Co. against the Omar Oil &
Gas Co., a nonresident corporation. 1t
appears that the defendant company
has no representatives in this part of
the state upon which the sheriff could
serve the summons and, according to
the law, the papers must be served on
the secretary Of state under such cir
cumstances.

KENYON PLANS A CLASS
War Department Realizes Ur-

Of Skill
By Associated Press to The Dannerl

tBy Associated Press to The Bannerl
COLUMBUS, o., Sept. 10-Appeal
ed to by the War Department, the
Ohio Defense Council today sent a let
ter to colleges public schools and Y.
M. c. AS throughout the state urg
ing special classes to train telegraph
ers for the army.
This action followed receipt of
letter from Lieut.. Col. l.. ID. Wildman,
Signal Corps, u. s. r., declaring that
"a very serious situation confronts
the War Department in regard to the
training of telegraphers for war
work"
Ohio, Col Wildman's letter stated,
will be called on to furnish at least
600 telegraphers in the second and
later calls for army service. Mean
while, commercial telegraph compan-
les throughout the state report an
acute shortage of operators even for
civilian and business work although
telegraphers, they say. receive pay
ranging from $S5 to $125 q month for
en- eight-hour day.
The Ohio War Boards appeal for
establishment of classes to train tele-
graph operators follows one made di-
rect some weeks ago to colleges,
schools and Y. M. c. AS by the War
Department. AS the result of the first
appeal, classes are now being organ
lied at:
Municipal University, Akron; Ohio
university, Athens; Ohio Wesleyan
university at Delaware; Kenyon col
lege, Gambler; Miami university, OK
ford; Western Reserve university
Cleveland; Institute of Applied Arts,
Cincinnati; American Radio Institute,
Leipsic; public schools of Cleveland,
Dayton, Toledo, Alliance and Mans
field; Y. NJ. c. AS at Fostoria Hamil-
ton, Marion, Middleport and Toledo.
1t is to the other colleges, schools
and Y. NJ. G. AS in Ohio which have
not answered the War Departments
first appeal, that the present request
is directed. Here is real need
which must be met says the War
Boards letter. MAY we urge with all
emphasis that you aid the govern
ment in this patriotic work"

100000 CANE CROP OF 1918

OF course IS off or nearly so and the

shows very little sign. thus far, OF
being affected: being small the root
system is meager. and it does no;
make much OF a pull on Tie moisture
in the soil; but the 1@1N crop is just
at the critical period of its growth
when it needs all the available re-
sources OF nourishment and moisture
and failing them drys UP and dies.
From intelligent estimates made
on the ground by a manager Of eX.
perience who has been through the
same sort OF thing before, the prooa'
bility is than the loss will run TO some
thing like 10000 tons, for the district
OF Hamakua alone, to say nothing OF
Hilo, kOhala and kau. A loss of 20,
900 tons, at present prices. means
financial loss of some $4,000, 900. OF
course. there will be some saving in
cultivation and harvesting and manu-
facture to offset this, but they will
not materially affect the figures, and
these again will be offset, and per.
haps more than offset by the minor
loss on the 1919 plant and the ratoons
following the 1918 crop.
Some of the places in the Hilo
district are in trouble also about the
1917 crop, because of shortage of
water for 1lumihg and milling This
is particularly true OF Papaaloa, where
they have not been able to flume for

IWILEI Still
ON THE MARKET

So far as can be determined the
Ahin tract of four and a half acres
in Iwilei has not yet been sold, al
though one of the big real estate
firms has an option contract for the
sale of the property. This tract is
improved with about 40 small mod
ern bungalows, but due to the former
unsavory reputation Of the district,
it is hard to get respectable tenants
for the property.
A new tract of 80 or Ct lots is to
be opened above the end of the Nuu-
anu car line by the Hawaiian Trust
Co. which will soon be auCtiOned off
at from $500 to $500 each. The lots
will be about five minutes walk from
the car line, at the lower end Of
Pauoa and at the end of Fort street.
A realty sale of considerable int
portance this week was the transfer
of the Mary Gandell property on
Emma street. opposite the Colonial
hotel, which was sold for $1O50O.
There are 29OO square feet in this
tract.

Mineral PRDCTS. REORGANIZATION
SCHEDULED TO TAKE PLACE MONDAY

the magnesia is to be developed, it is
not unlikely that shareholders will be
called upon for a good portion of the
2jc share within the next six to
eight months
THE Mineral Products Co. stock
cost it's present owners very close to

plan for the shareholders to con
tribute, say, l cent share as a volun.
tary assessment to definitely ascertain
whether or not the Mineral Products
Co. should be written off as loss or
reincorporated as Hawaiian corp
Grafton and rehabilitated? Of course,
we realize that voluntary assessments
as a rule are not productive of re
suits. We believe, however, that with
definite understanding the proceeds
Of the assessment would be used for
the specific purpose just mentioned,
and with the added assurance that in
the event of the company being re-
incorporated later the voluntary con-
tributions would be considered as
part payment of subsequent assess
ments, at least so per cent of the
shareholders would contribute. This
would create a fund of $4,000 and
should be sufficient for the purpose.
With this view Of the situation, we
would like to suggest that some such
plan as the following be adopted and
used before the question of reincorp
Grafton is finally settled.
First, that committee of three
prominent men, who are in no wise
identified with the company either as
shareholders or creditors (for unbias-
ed Judgment is paramount), be Sc
lected by the stockholders.
Second, That this committee be sent
to the mainland with authority to EN-
ploy the best biologists available and
secure the technical advice Of chem
ical experts; and that they make an
exhaustive study of similar enter
prises, if any: looktinto the market
conditions of the commodities in
volved-in short, make a complete
business analysis of the whole prop,
osition.
Third, That after such a study of
lHe Slludliou IHe SoLHHllllee IeuueI
report definitely recommending to
shareholders either the writing off o.
the whole proposition as loss or its
rehabilitation. In the event of the lat
ter, the committee should outline
program for future development and
make an estimate OF earnings under
both war and peace conditions.
Such an investigation will require
several months. and during the interim
operations should be discontinued"

Loss as Result Of Lack oil
Rainfall Will Approximate
10000 Tons

From time immemOTlai the wind
ward coast at Hawaii. especially in
the district OF itamaKua, has been sub
jected to an occasional drought.
writes J. NJ l-idSate editor OF the Gar
den Island, who made a tour OF the
Big Island last week, and who las
since published his notes on the pres,
cDt drought. In part he writes:
The people OF Hawaii have had no
rain since April and now expect none
Of any value until the end OF Octo-
Der. and with no assurance that It
will come then And unfortunately
this dry summer follows a dry win
te~, so tnpy will be i'll prepared Ior
the drought
Thus far, in Hamakua, they have
had only some 20 inches, when they
shrould have had 40 or 80 inches he
says.
NORMALLY they depend almost en-
tirely on the rainfall for the growth
of their crops, at least in the south
ern half of the district. In the north.
ern end, at Hon9kaa and Paauiau,
they have the iamakua ditch bring.
ing them a lmitA Nd supply Of water
from the Waip;O mountains.
Coming out from Hilo. the first
place that one notices the dry wealth
er signs is at Honohina, on the Ha-
makua side of Kakalua. They claim
that throughout the whole Hilo region
the crops have suffered, but mostly
this is not apparent But from Ho-
nOhina on toward Hamakua the
drought conditions quickly increase.
At Papaaloa large stretches of the
lower fields are as brown as a stub
