HAWAII PRODUCE MUST
COMPETE WITH MAINLAND
IN PRICE AND QUALITY

Island eggs are dropping in price
and feed is advancing. The consum-
ers will not pay much more for island
eggs than for so-called fresh imported
eggs and the local producer must cut
the cost of production in order to
make a profit. Sentiment does not
enter into the purchase of food sup
plies these days and the farmer must
have good product which he CO sell
at a profit very close to the pfice Of
the products with which he is COM
peting. This applies to all kinds Of
island agricultural products No farm
er need expect to get as good or a
better price for inferior island pro-
duce than the best imported produce
is being sold for in Honolulu.
The price Of Maui red beans has
fallen off a little but there is very
little danger of them going lower. The
crop this past season was very small
and all of it should be used here in
Hawaii instead of shipping part of ii
to the Coast as was done last year.
Most of the Irish potatoes received at
the division from the other islands
have been very small and more or
less wormy. Producers will save them
selves as well as the division and our
customers a great deal of trouble by
finding some use for such products
at home. Feed for hogs or other live
stock would be a good use for it. Do
not use half grown, wormy or blight
ed potatoes for seed and expect to get
a good crop. Save seed from a few Of
the best hills you have, or better still
get some certified potato seed from
the coast for your next planting. The
division will be glad to assist you in
getting such seed.
Meat prices remain about the same
as last week but the price of feed
has advanced. Unless hog feed gets
cheaper, another advance in pork can
be looked for soon.

crowds. Over 1900 Kauai people
watched the boys perform.
In addition to the athletic enter.

He's physically Ten dine as strong

He's physically ten times as strong
and better able to do it.
To the everlasting honor and credit
Ct the working girl 1t must be said
that she is generosity itself and help
fulness personified when 1t comes to
her own home. The majority of bust.
ness girls turn over their pay en-
velopes to their mothers and get out
OF their hard labor only what their
mothers choose to give them.
Go into any family where the girls
work and you will see how unselfish-
ly they spend their money. The
families move to a decent neighbOr-
hood. The food is better. There are
nice pieces of furniture. The younger
children are being kept longer at
school so that they may have a better
chance than the older girls had. The
girls have spent their earnings on
teir families instead of in saloons as
the boys have.
Mother isn't satisfied, however;
neither is father. because they have
still somehow got it in the backs Of
their heads that a girl ought to do
homework no matter what else she
does.
or course if the mother is an in
valid and the girl cannot earn enough
to pay for a servant, 1t is her duty
to help her mother with the house
work, no matter how tired she is when
she gets home from work, 1t is a case
of dire necessity in which one can
only do the best one can. But in
Hr,hn h. Sc ~
ble-bodied, and the girl contributes to
the household expenses, her mother
has no right to call on her for any
extra assistance.
1t Is making an additional drain on
the girls vitality and strength that
should not be made-she is not often
able to endure 1t. One of the main
reasons that women break down 80
often in business is because they
superimpose the work of woman on
top of the work of man and nobody
has got the physique to stand that
sort of a strain. y
When a man gets home at night af-
ter his days labor he finds a COM
Portable meal ready for him to eat,
and after he has eaten it he sits down
in quiet and comfort and reads the
paper and rests until he is ready to
go to bed or to 60 out for an hour or
two's diversion.
Nobody expects him to rush and
help cook the dinner and then wash
the dishes, and then trim a new hat
for little Sally or run a sewing ma
chine till bed time making father a
shirt. But that's exactly where three
fourths of the mothers Of working
girls demand Of their daughters. No
wonder the girls have nervous col
Iapses; no wonder they come to work
tired and nstless; no wonder they are
not as bright and energetic and don't
90 as far as boys.
i They are trying to climb with a
family on their backs And so it's
ND to the mother who wants her
daughter to get on in business and ar
rive at the place that has worth |
while salary attached to it, to relieve
the girl of every possible domestic
burden so that she may have all Of
ner strength and vitality to give to
her Job. She can't use up her strength |
IN the dish pan and still have it to
give to the store.
There are very, very few mothers

:HILO TRIBUNE
SCOOPS HONOLULU
PAPERS ON FLOOD
Big Islanders Informed of lex.
tenSive Damage" Done
Here Saturday

Hawaii readers of the Hilo Tribune
were informed Sunday morning that
big floods have caused unknown dam
age between Honolulu and Wahiawa."
Continuing the report states: "Tele-
graph poles have been washed away,
train derailed and the roads made
impossible. Inquiries ELECTED the in
formation that the incessant rains ex-
perienced in and around Honolulu all
day yesterday were responsible for
extensive damage" and more of like
nature.
The STORY" was run as an expla-
nation by the Tribune to its readers
of the. failure to secure any press
dispatches. That the telephone SER
vice to Wahiawa from Honolulu Sat-
urday night was put out of commits
sion is true, but it was not caused by
floods, as was apparently assumed
by the Tribune writer.
An anchor of a telephone pole car
rying A wires pulled loose Saturday
at midnight and it fell across the o.
r. l.. tracks at Waiau, this side of
Pearl City. Later a train did crash
into the pole, but without serious dam
age.
The only floods" Oahu had Satur.
day were pleasant and much needed
showers, which did not make the
roads to Wahiawa impossible by au-
tomobile.
