KNOCKING UNCLE SAM

IT is almost invariably the rule
that in every public movement
y criticism is heard of individuals
or groups of individuals concerning
their attitude toward the particular
object to be obtained. The Liberty
Loan canvass has been no exception
Men who should know better have
given expression to drastic state
ments regarding the alleged selfish
interests back of the loan and it is
quite the common thing to hear
that persons most able to subscribe
for tho bonds have not done so. OF
course, there is no justification for
indefinite criticism of the sort indi-
Gated. There are rich men and poor
men who are showing anything but
patriotic interest in financing the
war, but whether a man is poor or
rich is of no significance in consider
ing his real attitude toward the
needs of the country. If he is rich
and refuses to give of his wealth,
he is no worse that If he be poor
and refuses to do any service which
is within his power to further the
cause in which his country is now
engaged.
Too many men plead poverty as
an excuse for failure to perform a
patriotic service. Often those best
able to give are the persons most
frequently guilty of indifference to
the common welfare.
During the energetic canvass of
this city last week there was tremen-
dous interest in the Liberty Loan
where 1t was least expected. Here
and there person of ample means
absolutely, refused to lend Uncle
Sam even fifty dollars, while in other
cases Woodworking men and wo!
men subscribed to the loan from
their future savings and were glad
to do so.
We hear now and then that this
is "a rich mans war;" that the
workshops and factories are being
'scraped for the poor mans dollars"
Nothing finer in the way of con-
crete, devoted patriotism has been
shown than in the railroad shops,
the industrial plants and wherever
else the toilers are engaged, through
individual subscriptions to the loan.
Men who cannot fight are willing to
help in the only way that is pos
sible for them. Women and girls
are in the same class of patriotic
citizens and are doing their bit un-
selflshly and with q real desire to
aid in placing the country on q war
basis.
1t has also been said by these
critics that the huge corporations
are conspicuous by their absence
from the lists of subscribers" to the
loan. Here again ignorance of the
facts is shown, because a glance
down the list of subscribers already
reported will show millions of dol
lars offered by corporations and in
dividuals who are ranked among
the captains of finance and indus
try. '''.--
This is in no sense a rich mans
war. 1t is a war in defense of Amer
lean rights and it comes with poor
grace from men of intelligence and
high standing In the community to

Come On, Small Investors

A $50 or 500 Liberty Bond
subscription may be regarded as
more important than S25,000, 900
one. The great desideratum is not
TO have the loan fully taken but to
have 1t fully taken by the max
imum number of individuals. This
country is full of money and prob
ably the imperial German govern
ment expects the So, 100000 bond
issue to be subscribed or even over
subscribed. What it is telling its
people now is that this Is WILSON 8
war. that 1t is extremely unpopular
with the common people in America
and that their apathy is such that
they will never make the sacrifice
necessary to put 1t through.
The result of the army registra-
ton was one blow to the Kaiser but
this doubtless will be explained in
Germany by references to compul-
sion and the iron heel. a force read
ily comprehended by Germans. A
tremendous volume of small sub
scriptions to the pending loan would
be harder to explain away, for the
German people know how such loans
are managed. To the mind of every
Intelligent German 1t would indicate
that the masses of the American
people are behind this war and
mean to see 1t through at any cost

Most people on Maui are familiar
with the rather extensive vineyard
district in the Kaupakalua region. The
outlet of the product has heretofore
been the winery, established as the
result of the grape growing enter
prise. The winery Is now shut down,
leaving the grower without the usual
outlet for his crop, which is now COM
ing to maturity. Small lots Of fruit
are being peddled locally, and a few
enterprising Japanese are buying up
fruit and peddling it about the near
by plantations. However, this is in
adequate to handle the entire crop.
some of which the independent grow
er will make into wine for his own
use as has been their general practise
even while the winery was in opera
ton. Under these circumstances the
territorial food commissions Maui
representatives conceived of the idea
to cooperate with the growers in an
experiment to dispose of the crop in
the fresh state by modern methods
of packing and distribution.
To prevent excessive loss to the
growers, quick action was necessary.
AS thorough a survey of the situation
was made as possible, crop estimates
were made, approximate time of their
maturity determined, arrangements
made with the old winery for packing
facilities, which because of it's CEN
trail location is admirably suited for the
purpose. A suitable crate was devised
from pineapple shipping cases, which
was the only material available,
The cooperation of the grower to
supply the fruit in select form was
readily obtained and the first packing
operations we're begun on the 18th
inst. About 800 pounds of choice
grapes were delivered to the packing
shed by a dozen or more growers
fresh from the vines by noon on the
appointed day. By night these had
been packed into so and 30-pound
crates ready for delivery. Two-thirds
of the pack was bought up locally at
five cents a pound, netting the grow
er three cents delivered at the pack
ing shed, and both grower and con-
sumer seemed we'll satisfied. The
remainder Of the pack was forwarded
to the marketing agent at Kahuiuf,
who will attend to the distribution OF
the entire crop hereafter. All orders
should be addressed directly to Maui
Marketing Agent, Kahului.
The second pack estimated at be-
tween 1900 and 1000 pounds will be
made on the 10th and Goth inst, and
will be put up in uniform crates of
80 pounds each. 1t is the marketing
agents plan to repack part of this
shipment in 5-pound baskets for Sc
1ect trade. A trial shipment will be
made to Honolulu, the territorial mar
keting division stating that a 200
pound lot if choice should bring five
cents per pound in Honolulu. Rather
extensive shipments are being re-
ceiyed from Hilo, and these have sold
for about Az cents pound. Under
