Bustness Circles Critical.

Now and again news leaks through
of grave dissatisfaction, especially in
business circles. The longing for peace
there is intense and the rancor against
the government and even the reigning
house grows as business chances dimin-
ish. The idea has at last penetrated
to those circles that the government
has never been sincere in it's peace
policy.
These things I have heard from the
direction of large financial concern
in Holland which has had dealings with
important business houses in many
places Of Germany.
From the same source I learn that
the German government experienced
much dimculty In placing the new war
loan. Many persons who could sub
scribe refrained from doing SO because
they refuse any longer to help in up
holding the militaristic tunker policy,
but the overwhelming large number of
the people do not subscribe simply be-
cause they cannot. They have been
squeezed dry and have no moro funds
left And from the same source learn
that notwithstanding the great need
for clothing OF all sorts in Germany
the great manufacturing firms have ac-
cumuiated large stock which they re-
fuse to sell to their patrons In order
to be able to throw them. upon the
Dutch market rs soon as peace Ii de-
clared. 30 that they may be able to
retain their Dutch customers, for Hoi-

war be one OF the few countries open

Commits MURDER
While in SLEEP

Her Temptation" the latest Will
liam Fox picture, which is the main
attraction at the Hawaii theater, is
a. drama of domestic life in which a
unique quality is introduced. The
power of the human will is the i'm
portant factor in the story, and the
chief tragic incident is a murder that
wife commits while she is in a
hypnotic trance. While the theme is
one of unusual sort, 1T is presented
in a manner wholly artistic. Gladys
Brockwell, who is widely known as a
leading Fox star, has the support Of
an excellent cast in the production,
and with her appears such well
known people as Ralph Lewis, James
Cruze and Bertram Grassby.

troubles. OF the many forms of mag

should be taken to get bisurated mag

the Lyceum is completed" said Mr..
Weller.
Work on the new. structure was be-
gun yesterday morning. The plans
are elaborate. The front entrance
will be on the corner. but the build
ing will not be erected in the same
manner as the Lyceum which was de-
stroyed by fire. 1t will be across the
spacious lot. so the stage will be as
far as possible from other buildings,
and the corner of the lot on Puunene
avenue and also the corner of the lot
on the road to Waikiki will be left
vacant, at least as far as the theater
itself is concerned. This arrange
ment will be a great advantage, as the
view either way will be unobstructed,
and this corner here will not be as
dangerous as it used to be.

Salvation in Peanuts.

Striking testimony the value of peanuts as
money crop is presented by the Macon News in
the form. of letter from an Enterprise Alabama,
national bank which deals extensively with agri-
winter of 1914 when cotton sank to be beggarly
prices, Alabama farmers like those of neighboring
States, learned bitter but wholesome lesson, and
resolved that never again would they stake their
entire fortune a single harvest In consequence,
a variety of crops which formerly had been con-
sidered of little Importance given a fair
test as money-makers.
In the Enterprise district, where the cotton de-
preston had brought hardshps particularly severe,
peanuts we're selected a mainstay in the
scheme of diversifcation. The character of the
results may be judged from single instance cited
in the letter which the News reproduces. One
farmer customer of the bank, it appears, fell be-
hind in 1914 thirty-one hundred dollars In the
autumn of 1916-thanks chiefly to the fruits of
diversfcation in general and peanuts in particular
he paid the last penny of his debt. The bank
states that it had many similar cases, and that with
the gathering of last seasons crops its deposits in
creased eighty-three thousand dollars. An oil mill
at Enterprise affords a convenient and profitable
market for peanuts from the surrounding country
it now pays seventy-eght dollars ton. Further
more, as the bankers point out this crop has laid
the foundation for hog raising, from which
increasing profits are bling derived. THE peanut
crop" the Letter concludes has taken the place of
cotton and saved our section"
