CASTLE REPLIES
TO AGENT NOR
Food Commission Executive AS
serts That Moir Is OFF On
8 Wrong Foot ...
l8 IT5;;-

"If Mr.. NOR feels that his time and
the governments money are being
wasted in the work he is doing. | can
only say that thege are men on the
Islands doing the same sort Of work
who are certainly wasting neither time
nor government money" said A. l..
Castle, executive officer Of the food
commission, yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Castle referred 70 the recent let.
ter from Mr. Moir received BY the
food commiesiony n which Moir,sin ads
dition 70 saying That his work az a.
present carried on was waste Of time
and money, stated that il could be done
by grammar school pupil with more
enthusiasm aud satisfaction. No Off
cial action has been taken on the let
ter, which also suggested the opening
of government farms at Keanakolu,
Hawaii F
Others Not wasting Time
81. q. Krauss on Maui and A. II.
Case on Kauai are wasting neither
time nor money in their work" Mr..
Castle stated. 1.-THE work of the food
commission must 90 on as it has been
doing for some time at least. ....-.r
" As for the KeanakOu farming
proposition, Albert Horner himself has
said that II could not be inaugurated
without the expenditure of at leas'
100000 for road to open up the
district. The food commission has no
such sum as that to spend. The pro-
ject will necessarily have to wait I'm
Gil the next meeting of the legislature,
and then the request for the apPropria'
tion might be made. If the proposal
we're considered feasible"
Opinion as TO the ACCESSIBILITY of
opening government farms seems di-
vided, but the members of the food
commission who have 80 far expressed
their sentiments are unanimous in stat
ing that no action could be undertaken
without q large initial appropriation,
and unless secured from the federal
government such appropriation could
not be obtained from the Territory IN
til the next meeting of the Legislature,
two years of In 1919. .
Farming Proposition D..
Mr.. Morris letter was referred to j..
NJ Westgate of the U. s. Experiment
Station to determine whether or not
the suggestion of farming at Keanako-
lu could be carried out. Professor
Westgate stated in a letter to J. +.
Child, assistant executive officer of the
food commission, that he could not adj
wise as to the usefulness of the land in
question until acquainted with soil,
rainfall, acreage, and former instances
Of agricultural operations in the tract.
The suggestion of rehabilitation or
cooperation with farmers seems feas-
IDLE to Professor Westgate If the de-
tails Of the scheme can be worked ont
to suit local conditions. .J -
The Territorial Food Commission in
vites expression of opinion from the
public AZ to what is thought of the
suggestion that farming lands should
be opened up, in Hawaii and through
out the Territory, with the assistance
of the commission. Letters may be
sent to the food commission direct or
through the newspapers.

Local people are wondering what the
admiral Of the navy, whose charming
wife did so much 20 start the work
in Honolulu, said when Mr.. Daniels
insulted her by barring her from the
naval reservations; or what those mum.
erous naval women will do who are
members Of the Navy League and
whose homes are on naval reservations.
Even Taft Is Barred 90.
Tx President Taft, engaged since the
war in patriotic work, is barred. The
poor man is n member of the Navy
League and has been doing yeOman
work for it for years. He was former
~ commander-in.chief of the navy,
but should Josephus wOrryi
He should not. Let Taft do it.
There are other great American
names on the Navy League roster.
Theodore Roosevelt, another former
commander1in-chief of the navy, is a
member.
The local members of the league as

hardly stick a bayonet in Mr.. Taft

naval reservation on business, as he
would be supposed to do under the or.

HOW TO CARRY EXTRA
TUBE IN YOUR CAR

How should I carry this tube IN
my carr" is a question which the
Hedging 10 the automobile recrea-
tion frequently asks. The service
manager of the Fisk Rubber Co.
applies nothing more than plain
cold reasoning in his answer TO this
query.
He says. the best way Of all is
10 carry your spare tube mounted
and inflated in your spare tire. but
where an additional tube is desired
il should be wrapped in heavy
wrapping paper and bound with
rubber bands"
IF not wrapped it is likely 70 be-
come cut or chafed from contact
with tools or other equipment car
ried in the tool box. and thereby
permanently injured The Use or
rubber bands instead of string for
tying the package is recommended
because II will prevent cutting the
tube should the string be tied too
tight"
