Bonds And Business
SevTIHE greatest privilege and opport

6VV Nf1E1 GREATEST privilege anu opportunity Dc
i fore American citizens today" is what one
writer has called the chance to become an owner
OF a Liberty Bond 80 "N>
1t is one Of the ways in which citizens, almost
without exception, can show their loyalty to the
Flag their support OF their President and the con-
sistency behind their professions of faith in the
justice of Americas cause in the war. THE meas
ure OF the nations honor and OF the nations heart
u being taken and Of the nation every man and
woman is a part The success with which the
statesmen Of Liberty Bonds meet when YOU are
asked to subscribe to the war loan is the measure
Of YOUR honor and of YOUR heart. + . VIA
Support Of the government is something which
must be personal. The cheers of crowds mean
nothing in themselves and are empty sounds UNI
less each individual cheerer is willing, when the
time comes, to keep Still long enough to DO some
thing. Flags waving in the breeze are pretty, but
the mere flying Of all the flags that ever were
made or ever will be made cannot equip one man
on the firing line or fill single mess tin with hot
food. Street corner abuse OF the Kaiser hurts him
rot at all, while one more name a Liberty Bond
pledge will .Ia..... "
4 One prominent capitalist OF this city, when the
canvass for the first issue of Liberty Bonds was
under way, announced that his ready funds were
tied up and that it would not be business" for
him to borrow at six percent in order to buy bonds
that would only pay him four. OF course it wasn't
business" except that it would have given him
and his greater protection against the interna-
,onal bandits who are robbing capitalists of other
lands today who are torturing other mems chill
dren and violating other mems wives and daugh-
tiers. F.. ." .I.5.,t ..t-.. -E. b.
Business? No, not his kind of business, the
kind of one who looks at everything through eyes
of pure, deluded SELF but is set forth by the
writer already quoted, who speaks through the
Literary Digest, when we have obeyed the high
er call. and have done our duty to the utmost we
may listen with good conscience to the agreeable
truth that the Liberty Bonds, business invest
ment, exceedingly profitable. We do not
spend or give away our money. We lend it to the
United States government, getting in return bonds
secured by all the tremendous resources Of the
richest nation on earth. On this loan we get four
percent interest The bonds in all probability,
will sell at large premium before maturity.
Bonds at the same rate as these have sold as high
as $50. Liberty Bonds are the safest investment
in the world. Your money will not be tied up
beyond your reach. You sell the bonds or
borrow money on them at any time, therefore all
your money can be put into Liberty Bonds. The
future of your children can be insured by them
If you have no, capital on hand, buy as many Lib
erty Bonds you can pay for in instalments out
sary, in order to put the money into Liberty
Bonds. 1t is the greatest privilege and oppor-
tunity before American citizens today"

FOOD STUFF DEALERS
TO Be PROTECTED

Arrangements have been made,
through the local chamber of com
merce, for the protection of dealers in
foodstuffs who will be unable to apply
before November / for licenses to do
business as required under the proc
lamation recently issued by the Presi-
dent. .t'
When announcement was made in
The Advertiser of the issuance Of the
proclamation, the chamber of commerce
sent the following message to Sidney
BallOu, its counsellor, in Washington:
"No blanks with which TO comply
with Presidents proclamation licensing

protest imposition of penalties and for
ward blanks. Answer" ....L
Mr. Ballou replied as follows: "FOr'

Good For The Boys

TWELVE thousand dollars subscribed in a
i few hours is the surprising and gratifying
result of Mayor Ferns Liberty Bond day for city
and county employees. The police and fire depart
ment men subscribed almost to man. So did the
employees of other departments.
These men, buying the bonds as they are, to
help the government in its struggle against the
Hun octopus, are at the same time doing mighty
good turn by themselves and their dependents, be-
cause the money they invest in the bonds will
represent a saving-and perhaps the first saving
some OF them have ever made 49,. NOR
All credit to the city and county employees
They did themselves proud yesterday. The COM
munity should be proud of them. Down with the

Boys" said the veteran jailer to the assembled
policemen, "the cost of living is SO high we can
hardly save cent. So let us buy bond and get
this war over, so the cost of living will go down.

NOW FLOAT ON
WATERS Of H|LO BAY

Those who journey to Hawaii these
days are surprised to behold number
of sea gulls floating gracefully over
the waters Of Hilo Bay. These birds
were recently brought from the main
land by Judge W. 3. Wise.
I'm an effort to encourage the guils
to remain in the Big Island waters, the
lilo board of trade has authorized a
committee to see that the birds receive
sufficient food. On specified days the
haunts Of the gulls are invaded by
row boats stored with waste foodstutfs,
bT The success which has aecompanicd
the bringing Of these birds to tn. ~
lands has prompted Judge Wise to add
to the number. He already has heard
from the Coast that an additional num-
Der of birds win be available at an
early date for shipment TO Hilo.

An automobile belonging to a prominent Chi

mer palace in Picking few weeks ago The chauf-
feur was arrested, but released upon payment Of
very small fine.
In expression OF their dsapproval Of the courts
action the parents of the child and their neigh
hors erected a matshed in the middle OF the road
on the very spot where the child was killed, under
which the coffin was placed. Inscriptions were
frosted on the sides Of the coffin denouncing the
injustice Of the court.
Since then the main road has been abandoned
by traffic hut officials apparently have not dared

I T now appears that the price of milk just went
up without any particular reason except that
the dairymen needed the extra money. We had
any number of reasons advanced for the jump, but
a triAe OF investigation has demonstrated that
these were not reasons, nor even good excuses.
Perhaps a little uncovering will demonstrate
that the reasons for the high cost of fish are like
wise simply camoufage to cover up grab. The
Advertiser believes that real investigation will
show that there is bait trust THAT is gouging the
community, string OF middlemen who are goug-
ing the community and system OF overhead
charges at the fish market that result in further
unreasonable gouges. r.
There is no sense in talking about the poor,
underpaid fishermen in this connection. because
they are simply being gouged on their end much
as the public is on the other. None denies that
the fishermen may be undergrad; what want
to know is what makes fish so unreasonably ex-
pensve? .-... ...t ....

PROBLEMS
CONTINUE TO WORRY

Architects and builders alike consider
that the shipping problem looms up big
for Honolulu and the progress of its
building industry. 1t is the uncertainty
of what may be expected in the way
Of available bottoms to bring freights
that is their source of anxiety. 1T is
pointed out that it is impossible to han
die all of the Island freight as eondi.
existed congestion of freight in va
,rious stages of such congestion. at San
Francisco until recently came the re.
port of an embargo by railroads until
the congestion was lifted. 81. =
, Assurance contained in San Francisco
papers that the Matson steamers would
remain on until spring has not served
to assure all architects and builders
here. One of the we'll known architects
yesterday pointed out that If those yes
sells were to be needed by spring it
would take weeks or perhaps months to
get them in shape for use at that time.
There appears TO be no shortage of
cement or other material for concrete
building at the present time, and most
of the contractors for buildings of that
type have their contracts for the de-
livery of such materials to them. Such
work will, therefore, 60 on until such
time, if it does come, as there is a
shortage of cargo space for such ma
terial, since ii is expected that most Of
the cargo space in the ships that call
here for the sugar outturn will be re-
quired for food and fOodstuffs, and that
other less necessary commodities will
have TO wait.

end. She was a charter member
of Mt. Hermon church. The
writer considers that he has lost
very dear friend, having lived
in her home for six years. She
always had smile and kind word
for everyone. Her every move
seemed to protray a desire to
honor her Saviour and to bless
and make happy the lives of
others. To sat by the fireside and
listen to her talk was one of the =,
greatest treats. Well do / re-

moval of such a life from among
us leaves vacancy and a shad-

by the congregation to which she
belonged and her many friends
