CHECKERBOARD IS.
USED in TALKING


One OF the most interesting sciences
recently portrayed en- the screen Is
to be seen at the Liberty theatef In
the production of Anton. the Terri
ble,p the current Paramount Picture.
il IS the scheckerboard" system Of
communication in use in the Russian
penal institutions, system OF COM
munication that Is soon the common
property OF all "politicals. as the
prisoners are known who are impEis-
oned for. some crime. that \ can be
charge dto nothing but politics.
The "checkerboard" is a system OF
tappings and, when the wall fails to
answer the purpose. the water pipe or
sewer pipe running through the cells
Is used to convey the message. The
board ii laid out in the form Of Q
checker board ard the various spaces
are numbered. They are then filled
IN with letters. The letters are then
reproduced according to their number
In the checker board and through q
series OF tappings any desired informa,
ton Is conveyed around the prison.
Il Is stated that the prisoners rapidly
become adept at this means Of car.
rying news and that not q few "jail
breaks are arranged through this
method OF communication.
Most unique is the system and this
photodrama gives a clear insight into
It's workings. Theodore Roberts and
Anita King are seen to good adyan-

former today.
While Harrison refused to give out
the names OF the huis who desire to
lease the property. he said negotia-

that deal with one of the parties
would be closed soon.
1t Is understood that one hui plans
to leave the roof as 1t is and erect
concrete walls. Tentative plans for q
theater with seating capacity OF
nearly 1000 have already been drawn.
Now that the old opera house = to
be torn down an up-to-date theater is
badly needed in Honolulu and II is
possible that an entirely new theater
building may be erected.
When asked whether he and
Rosenbledt might open a theater them
selves, Harrison said that that point
lad not been decided.
Rosenbeldf Is leaving for San Fran

TO Be SHORTAGE OF SEED CORN

The seed corn situation every
where is the most serious we
have ever known it. North OAK
ota, Michigan, Wisconsin and 9TH
er states are already crying for
seed corn for spring planting.
We are just informed that a
farmer near Spencer, S. Dak., re-
ceived returns this last week for
a car Of 1917 corn that he ship
ped to Minneapolis. 1t graded
No. 3 White and sold for $l.85
per bushel. The chances are
that this corn would have made
fair seed, if it will shell and grade
this early in the season. 1t pro-
badly went to some seed COM
pany and will later be shipped
back to the farmers at from S.
to $40 per bushel.
But the, extra price is not the
most serious part of the problem.
The most serious thing is the
fact that there is likely to be
such a shortage that it will be

THE THRIFT AND WAR STAMPS
PLAN TO RAISE FUNDS FOR THE Gov
ERNMENT WENT INTO EFFECT DEC
EMBER 3. OUTLINE OF PLAN.

Many of our people are avail
ing themselves of the opportun-
ity offered by the government to
aid in raising funds for carrying
on the war by purchasing thrift
and war stamps. Under this plan
the man, woman or child of small
means may contribute to the
great cause, and at the same
time lay by a little something for
"a rainy day.
These stamps are two kinds,
the thrift stamps which cost Is
cents each, and war stamps at
&.l2 each. The war stamps
will increase at the rate of one
cent a month beginning February
1st, 1918. They may be purch-
ased at either of the banks in
Philip or at the postofice. The
following outline was handed us
by Postmaster Mcmahon:
l. Thrift stamps at Is cents
each and war stamps at $4.l2
each, 1.-THE value of the latter in
creases at the rate of l cent a
month beginning February 1st.,
1918l have been on sale at the
postofice since Monday morning
December 3, 1917.
2. Each purchaser of war saw
ings certificate stamps shall be
furnished without cost a United
States war savings certificate, to
which such certificate stamps
shall be attached. The certificate
is not transferable and has no
value unless one or more stamps
are affixed. War savings stamps
bear interest at the rate of 4 per
cent compounded quarterly.
3. Thrift stamps bearing no
interest shall be sold at Is cents
each. The purchaser of thrift
stamps shall be furnished with
out cost thrift card to which
stamps shall be affixed. The
card itself has no value. Thrift
stamps shall not be cashed, but
when l6 thrift stamps, represent
ing total Of $4.0O, are affixed to
a thrift card they may with a
cash payment of from IL to %
cents, be exchanged for a war
savings certificate stamp.
4. No more than 500 worth
of war savings certificates can be
sold to any one person at any one
time and it shall be unlawful for
any one person to hold, at any
one time, war savings certificates
to an aggregate amount exceed
ing $1,000.
will be glad to give any infor-
nation desired in regard to these
stamps.
