work has been accomplished on the
valley roads. For several miles the
road between Yerington and Wabus-
ka, has been graded, and while at this
dry season it seems that the road is
in very bad shape, it will be appre-

HaO, May 1Ss That the Planters

Of food conservation IS well known

Mr.. Z. ID. Larsen Of the Hawaiian
Sugar Planters association station.
who IS interviewing the different plan
tation managers and discussing the
best plan OF operation.
It Is Mr.. Larsen's intention 20 per
sonally interview all the managers
and to also inspect the various local.
ties where foodstuffs may possibly be
raised. The scheme is to take pre-
cautions so that there is not 9 dupli-
cation Of crops for that might mean
an oYer-abundance Of some foodslufls
while there is q shortage In another
line. This can be prevented by mll-
.tuai agreement among the plantation
managers as to what to plant and IN
what quantities. -
John T. NOR, manager Of Onomea
Sugar Company. said yesterday tnat
he, on his plantation, had several
pieces of land near various camps
that can be put under cultivation and
he also stated that 1t would be q
good idea for the plantations to put
some Of the older employees, who are
not capable Of real hard days work,
on the job Of cuftiyating the crops.
s II Is the intention of the Planters
Association to engage a man who will
travel around the island inspecting
the different cultivation tracts and
give advice to the cultivators.

distribution of n of food donated by the
people Of Virginia. He crossed in the relief ship
Eynorta.)
American relief In Belgium has hung
on slender thread for more than two
years Mary times when the Germans
ground the heel of oppression against the
Belgians IL seemed that the work of the
greatest charity the world has known would
stop. Then Herbert C. Hoover, chairman
of the commission. went to the rescue. He
braved the mine fields and the submarines
and crossed the North Sea from London,
hurried to Berlin or Brussels md used the
one big word AMERICA to awe and con-
vince the Germans that the feeding OF the
millions in the sad country" must con-
tinue.
The Germans yielded to Hoovers argu-
ments and the work went on. Hoover and
his band of associates realized each time
the tension became evident that the day
was not far distant when Germany would
raise her hand and say. stop"
Cardinal Mercier foresaw the peril OF his
countrymen. While | talked to him on
cold January afternoon in his war-torn pal
ace in Malines he said: The feeding OF our
people by the American Relief Commission
is a wonderful charity. God will bless
those who have helped us.

attack on Malines.
Then the Belgian churchman became ST.

He resumed the conversation by asking
What II the relief work should stop"

The Cardinal made his own answer. He
said, Belgium would starve 10 the great
hand of American charity failed TO uphold
her. oh! may the day never come
Night was coming as left the Cardinals S

Knowing full well the constant menace
