streets OF Honolulu at night for fear
o. soldiers.
/ would like to call the attention of
the public 10 few facts conCeTn'ns
the feelings OF the soldiers.
You all know that II you treat
man as a dog he in time becomes
dog.
Compare the treatment % soldiers
here with that OF those n the states
and France Why, in the states a SRI
invariably prefers the company OF SOL
diers TO that OF civilians OF same age
and who is as physically tit TO be IN
the army as his friend already in the
army-the Lord only, knows there are
enough OF this latter class IN Homo
lI!u
Friends OF mine who are stationed
in the states tell me Of instances
where girls are escorted 10 dances by
civilians only TO discard them there TO
dance with soldiers and to be escorted
home By them.
What is it that causes the attraction
OF anv woman BY. man? Why, the de-
sire for cOmpaniOnshiD OF sexes. This
is a statement that none can deny
How is a man in the army TO satisfy
this desire for company here when Ne
is stunned by all women with whom a
good man would care TO associate:
They are driven to this habit OF &C
costing unknown women by this de-
sire for company. How long can
group of women exclude themselves
from all male company? They desire
the company of man as much as man
does that of woman.
Is there any true-blooded man at
home not in 49, -~~~- who could get in
without in some way causing grief
and want to come to those near and
dear to him? Where then are these
good and truebloOded men who are on
the outside? Surely they must be in
the army because they are not at
home and could not mysteriOusly have
disappeared.
Who can gainsay me as to these SOL
diers' courtesy to women on street
cars? Ladies, if they are courteous
to YOU there, how can you tell they
would not be to you in your homes or
in your company anywhere? Can any
I of you justly say that our daughter is
! in any danger when in company Of a
! soldier?
Why is the United States in this
war, and why are these men in the
army? We entered the army to keep
from our shores the Germans and
from American women the atrocities
committed by the Germans upon Bel
gian and French women. Then do
you think we would turn around and
commit the same ourselves in our
land amongst our own people?
Suppose a German fleet was to ap-
proach Honolulu What would be the
cry of the civilians? 1t would be.
Where are the soldiers?" What do
we receive in return for our willing
ness to die if need be for the protec-
ton of your homes and people? We
are treated with scorn; cold backs are
turned upon us. Scarcely any place in
Honolulu are we welcomed hardly.
! There are some places in Honolulu
where we are treated as an equal, but
they are scarce as the proverbial hens
tooth.
What if soldier becomes broke in
city in the states. Why, anything
in town is his for the asking Suppose
he needs car fare home. He has only
to mention the fact and receives it
from any one. This is an actual expe-
rience of a person know.
Hoping this reaches the attention
Of all concerned, am, respectfully,

A Pledge Every True American Can
Make

Patriotic Americans need not hesitate to sign
Food Pledge cards No intention is held by the
food administration in Washington the food ad-
ministration in Hawaii Of imposing hardships on
any individual or any family; Of making the burden
. harder for one than for another.
One reason for the proposal to preserve the names
of those who will not sign the cards is doubtless to
find out exactly who will and exactly who will not
give the fullest measure Of cooperation to the ma
tional conservation movement e.<.. -.
On the mainland it has already been established
that antiAmericanism is at work to retard and
injure the food conservation plan which is vital
part of our war plan. German agents are busy at
tempting to discredit the saving of food; German
sympathizers, secret enemies of the United States
are attempting to spread dissatisfaction with this
regimen which is an essential duty at this national
crisis.
1t is necessary that Hawaii know how far food
conservation is being carried out in Hawaii To
ascertain this, some sort of record is necessary
As the women's committee of the food commission
makes plain today, there is absolutely no intention
of establishing blacklist or boycott There
should be no misunderstanding on this point The
record to be kept is for practical use in food CON
servation work in Hawaii, but not as club for
retaliation. %E
Already it is evident that some good American
women misunderstood the food pledge campaign
and hesitate to sign the cards. Yet the cards mere
" pledge the sgner to "carry out the directions and
advice of the food administrator in my home in 80
far as my circumstances permit :
There can be no valid objection to this that will
! stand as against what President Wilson, Herbert
Hoover and others have found to be vital national
policy. .---
Let no patriotic woman hesitate to sign the card
If there is any misunderstanding talk it ever frank
ly with the women's committee. They realize that
some people hesitate about signing anything and
some women hesitate about agreeing to any restric
ton on the management of their homes.
: But this is time when the management of each
| individual home is a matter of national concern
No longer is it merely personal
/. Let's have the fullest and frankest Of coopera
ton. If patriotic American women refuse to sign
they give excuse, cover and opportunity to those
who for hostile reasons would like to refuse.

New Issue Of One And Two
Dollar Bills.

Washington, Jan. 1l.-A new
issue of the one and two dollar
greenbacks of civil war days, dis
continued more than thirty years
ago, will be put into circulation
probably about February l, dis
placing similar United States notes
of large denomination to provide
relief from the unprecedented de-
mand for small paper money. The
treasury department announced
last night that the issue has been
decided on because silver certifi-
Gates, the ordinary bills of one and
two dollar denomination, could not
be issued under the law in sutfi-
cient quantities to meet the de-
mand.

You Note The Difference.

For the last few days we have
had a touch of real old time rainy
spell, and during that short period,
we have noted that everything was
on standstill, simply because our
streets and roads which were fine
before the rains became in a few
days bad and muddy and even
carriages remain away.
This condition only exist
around this town which has been
a little slow in building
hard surfaced Dads, all
other towns which have built gra-
vel roads do not suffer the loss of
trade on account bad weather as
hard surfaced roads are better in
rainy times than when dry.
The town authorities will go to
to work and build and drag the
streets as soon as condition will
permit, but the parish roads are
neglected and the business of the
town will suffer and continue to
suffer as long as the roads will re-
main bad.
We believe we can safely say
that all our people, in this town as
we'll as the country, in the first
ward, will be strongly in favor of
voting a tax to build hard surfaced
roads, We also understand that the
sentiment in the other wards is
ripening rapidly in favor of good
roads. Once good start and good
demonstration is made, the balance
comes easy.

Disastrous Fire.

At about nine o'clock Friday
night of last week, fire destroyed
the saw mill of j. j. Burdin &
Bro, near the bayou bank on the
outskirt of the town. When the
fire was discovered almost the en-
tire mill was ahame, with only a
limited amount of water from a
wooden tank, the mill being some
fifteen hundred feet from the town
fire hydrant, it required some time
to reach the scene of the fire with
line of hose, which, however, was
done in time to prevent the fire
from getting to the large piles of
lumber which was stacked a short
distance from the mill. The wind
blowing directly from the east also
contributed in saving a large
amount of property, if the wind
was blowing from any other direc-
tion the damage would have been
ten times larger as no efforts could
have saved the planning mill, and
other buildings including Mr..
Burdin's home and a large amount
of lumber in the yard.
The mill was in operation dur
ing the day, but the mill and sur
roundings were inspected a short
time before the fire was discovered.
The origin of the fire is not known
but supposed to be caused by some
spark or cigarette: The fire was
seen on this side of the bayou fol
some time before the alarm was
given, but those who saw the light
thought it was some burning field
Mr.. Burdin will rebuild as soon
as possible.

Wetting Spells Eggs

Approximately 5,016,000 dozen eggs spoil needlessly every year in cold storage simply because some one has let clean eggs get wet or has washed dirty eggs be
 fore sending them to market. according to the specialists Of the United States Department of Agriculture. Careful investiga- tions of large quantities of stored eggs show that from 17 to p per cent of washed eggs become worthless in storage, whereas only 4 to 8 per cent of dirty eggs stored unwashed spoil. The ex- planatiOn is simple. Water re moves from the shell of the egg a gelatinous covering which helps to keep air and germs out of the inside of the egg. Once this covering is removed by washing or rain which gets tc eggs in the nest, germs and molds find ready access to the contents and spoil the eggs.
 This enormous loss ir storage eppS largely can hp Droynntpd if producers and egg handlers, es
 pecially during March, April and May, will refrain from washing eggs destined for the storage markets and take pains to re- duce the number Of dirty eggs

by providing plenty of clean, sheltered nests for their hens.
 Millions of eggs spoil in stor- age because they have been ex- posed to dew, rain, dirt and sun in stolen nests in the grass or fence corners.
 In view of this great loss of valuable food, the department urges country storekeepers and hucksters not to accept washed eggs for shipment in case lots. Shiny eggs, especially in the early spring. probably have been washed. All washed eggs pur- chased should be sold locally for immediate consumption.
