No Time For Booze Bills

TSHE various committees of the various islands
4 are fast shaping up the plans for the enter
tainmentEand the edifcation Of the senators and
representatives to arrive within the next three
weeks and one Of the points under discussion is
whether or not, Under the circumstances of the
war and other circumstances of the times, any
part of the entertainment should include the
ing of ntoxcants.t &.. '...'.t q
I Inasmuch as the Governor has officially placed
the ban upon cocktails and wines at public func-
lions and nasnuch as the chamber Of commerce
and the civic convention have decided that this is
not the time to spend money upon intoxicants,
The Advertiser sees no reason whatever Tor de-
batting the question in connection with the forth
coming congressional visit. 1t ought to be made
plain, and the rule strictly adhered to, that no
public money should be spent upon booze, whether
Tor congressman anyone else. ". ...&t NJ
This visit OF the senators and representatives is
strictly official and strictly for business. In no
sense is it junket. ... Il.
x The visitors coming are members OF the con-
gress which made it illegal to sell ntoxicants to a
member of the army and navy. They are mem
bers of the congress which passed number OF
other prohibition measures. including one making
the District of Columbia dry They would be
among the first to see the improperly at this
time of spending public funds for ;ntoxicants and
certainly will find no grounds for criticism in our
logical position toward wartime economy. 9t
During the stay Of the party in the Islands il
will be accompanied, undoubtedly, by officers OF
the Army and Navy, detailed for the purpose, and
it would be bad taste, to say the least to serve
wine to civilian members Of the party at time
when other members would be under orders not
to drink g'i4 1 =.
1t would also be disconcerting, to say the least,
should walters refuse to serve ntoxicants to mem
Ders of the party unless the officers detailed with
it withdrew themselves. .t"
There is no good reason why booze should mix
itself up in the plans for the congressional visit
I and there are any number OF good reasons why
il should not. l@f' 1at e. - - "

HE ADVERTISERS SEMI.wEEKLY
Cooperation Essential

f the island growers Of food stuff will take the
i businesslike step of notifying the food COM
mission in advance OF their harvest as to what
counts of products are to be available for market
and when they may be expected, Oahu will be
able to absorb without any market Cutting and
price slashng practically all the locally grown
food products in sight, according to a statement
made Yesterday by Assistant Executive Officer
Child Of the food commission. So far there has
not been the complete cooperation between grower
and handler essential to success.
The Honolulu firms depending today upon
mainland imports in certain lines stand ready, &C
cording to Mr.. Child to reduce, or cut off imports
IRON the Coast if given reasonable assurance of a
locally grown supply.
Progress is being made in supplanting food i'm
ports with those of home production more pro-
gress than is generally appreciated but it will be
some time yet before the full possibilities even
approximately reached, There is a market in Ho-
nolulu and the other towns of the Territory for
much that be grown here, and the possibilities
tor increased production are apparent. 1t remains
to break down the existing distractions between
producers and consumers (which have grown up
under other conditions and to open up the avenues
Tor the new trade developing.
I The process is slow one, exasperatingly slow
II appears TO- many; but every day is bringing Ha-
waii closer to realization of what has been the
hope of many for years, that condition Of inter
island exchange wherein these Islands approach
self-supporting basis SO far as food stuff is con-
cetned. ga fttas t
To have this hope fully realized means, how
ever, that everyone must help. Preference must
Sc given to locally grown produce by both dealers
and consumers. Dealers must undergo some OF
the Inconvenience incidental to opening up new
sources OF supply and producers must endeavor to
cooperate intelligently not only with the dealers
and the transportation companies but with each
other.

Worth Looking Into

n recent California experiment station bulletin
"A about the "roadrunner," bird apparently
common in the southern part of that State, ind-
Gates that this ought to be good species to
domesticate ins Hawaii. The stomach contents of
the bird, from specimens examined every month
in the year except March, showed that ninety
percent of the total food eaten by these useful
birds was made up of animal matter. The remain
ing ten percent were seeds and fruits of the "sour
berry, Californian pest that takes the place OF
our antana, in the Coast scheme OF things.
The eighty-four roadrunners killed in the inter
est of science had their crops full of ants, grass
hoppers, beetles cutworms,' centipedes and scor-
pions, lizards, the young Of other birds, young
mice, and one bird had eaten very young rabbit.
The bulletin says, "the results seem to substan-
tiate rather than alter published statements re-
garding the.food of the roadrunner, little evidence
having been obtained that it is detrimental to
mans interests. The roadrunner never turns its
attention to any sort of cultivated crops, but
rather feeds upon insect and rodent pests which
attack such crops, and destroys the hairy cater
pillar not commonly eaten by other birds"
The planters association has often RESOLVED
TO introduce useful birds into Hawaii and it might
be that the Californian roadrunner would fill the
bill 1t seems to keep its bill rather full of pests
OF all sorts.
A few might be imported for the ZOO and given

Two MORE BOYS !. &. 4.
TO JOIN SERVICE
Steel and Puryis Leave To Be-
come Ambulance Drivers

Among departing passengers yester-
day were Ned Steel and Bob Purvis,
two local young men who are going to
oder themselves for service in the
ambulance corps now in training in the
East. They will join the contingent
of Honolulu boys already enlisted in
the medical corps of the United States
army.
If they find it possible they will join
the ambulance corps which is being
put in the field by the the National
Lawn Tennis Association. There is
considerable doubt as to whether the
tennis ambulance corps is still being
recruited or not, but the latest cable
to A. l.. Castle called for more men for
this body, and Purvis and Steel have
left in answer to the call. 49,,
If they find on arriving that the ten
mis- sections have been again abandon
ed they will endeavor to join some one
of the units now in training at Allen
town, Pennsylvania. 1t is there that
a, group of Honolulu boys who left
about two months ago are going
through their period Of preparation
for service at the front as ambulance
drivers. The group includes Francis
Brown, Ernest Podmore, William Wells,
Fred Biven and William Noble.
Another former Honolulan who has
gone into the ambulance service is
Benjamin Henderson, formerly chief
chemist at Aiea plantation. He left
on the same boat with the first group
for Allentown, and late news received
in Honolulu stated that he had sailed
for France. 1t was supposed that he
will join the AMY medical service
abroad, as he went to become a mem.
Der of the American Ambulance, since
turned over to the expeditionary forces
in France. ,.L.
In case difficulties arise in joining
the ambulance corps Ned Steel may 20

is member. This organization is A
Company of the 25th Engineers, and is

The Security

n United States government bond is frequently
IA spoken OF best security in the world"
Why is this true?
Because the promise to pay government bond
is backed by the faith and honor OF the United
States OF America and by the taxing power of this
whole country, which is the richest nation in the
world 1885,.
I. This government has issued bonds before, and
has never failed to pay every bond when it became
due with all the interest on same Even after the
Civil War, when the country was suffering from
a heavy debt and was not nearly so rich it is
today, all Of the government bonds were paid
when they became due.
