Java EXPERIMENTS
WITH Fertilizers
Results Obtained In Cane Field
Are Of Almost Equal In j.
tereSt In Hawaii -

II De-" u # Al . D
Comparisons OF the fertiRzing value
of ammonium sulphate and various nj.
tTogeuous oil cakes on cane in Java,
are reported in a recent report Of the
Java sugar experiment station. IL was
found that the chemical gave larger
yields and cost less to apply, than the
organic fertilizer. ~.
In Al tests TO determine the compare
tive value of ammonium sulphate and
nitrate of soda, the nitrate uniformly
gave the highest yields and the most
sugar on heavy soils, and the ammo,
mum sulphate on light soils.
The report states that il is inadyisable
TO use stable manure and saltpeter to-
gether on heavy soils. The greatest
difficulty about using nitrate was found
to be the ease with which il is leached
out of the soil. ...-+ ..g
In two tests in which molasses was
used with ammonium sulphate and so.
dium nitrate, good results were obtain.
ed in the former case, but not in the
latter. The same result obtained on
soils rich in lime. The nitrate was a
poor fertilizer and the sulphate good
one. .r.n
II is considered, on the whole, that
the advisability Of using one fertilizer
or the other depends ON the nature of
the soil, and the relative cost or scar,

HONOLULU IS ALL
STUCK UP AND

But II Has Lots Of Sense For
When Needed Pennies Are Not

. 81 u
The theatrical magnates of Honolulu
are all stuck up.
More than that, they haven't any
cents. (Linos and proof reader please
follow copy.)
It's fact---a painful humiliating
and disgusting fact, that the penny
has invaded Honolulu - and there
aren \ any pennies. tskp
Heretofore we plutocrats have always
disdained the humble copper. I On OUT
annual visits to the mainland to spend
part of our plethoric dividends we
have wrinkled our noses over the SO
sent bargains, and when change in odd
cents has been handed us, we have
contemporary tossed it into the
street, or dropped II into the blind
mans tin cup.
But now we're up against it. The
war is the cause, the war revenue tax
the Immediate aggravation. Things
we eat, drink, smoke, look at and listen
20 are subject to tax, and in many
instances the tax runs into odd cents
Raise II Odd or Even
Some benevolent purveyors of the
things we buy have decided to save Us
the trouble Of having to handle pen.

method being to charge enough extra
to make even change. a,ut I
But about the theatrical maqnates
being all stuck up--although the penny
has theoretically invaded Honolulu
there aren't any pennies, or none to
speak OF. Consequently something
just as good must be resorted to. En-.

The war tax on theater tickets Is
ten percent Of the cost Of the same.
In the case of fifty cent ticket the
tax amount TO five cents, which is sim
pie. But the tax on twenty cent
ticket is two cents, on thirty cent
ticket three cents. IN
And LAM Magoon, manager Of the
Honolulu Consolidated Amusement
Company, has decided that, while the
patrons of his theaters must bear the
burden of the tax, as intended by Con
gress Except in the Gaze of the Bijou

they are to be called upon 70 pay only
the exact amount of the tax. That

WAIKIKI BEACH IS !.
TOlDE PRESERVED
Harbor Board Announces That
No Further DespoiliRg Of .
Ground VIII Be Permitted

Piers, boat houses and many other
structures which Waikiki beach own
ers attempt to build below high water
hne along any part Of the beach front.
age will receive the condemnation of
the board of harbor commissioners,
which will assert its authority to keep
the beach clear for the use Of the
public. g..
The harbor commission at yester-
days meeting refused to grant per.
nit to J. F. Bowler to build q boat.
house in front of his property along
the beach near Diamond Head. 1t was
this request which decided the board
to make this an issue and prevent any
future despoiIiug Of the only part Of
the beaches to which the public has
free access.
Commissioner James Wakefield stat.
ed that the request of Mr.. Bowler
opened up the entire question of the
use and abuse of the beach by prop
erty owners,
Personally, 1 don u believe in Civ.
ing any one the right to build piers
or any structures beyond the high wa
ter mark, said Mr.. Wakefield.
Chairman W. r. Hobby expressed
the belief that the whole matter could
be settled at once, without even fur
Their Investigation, by simply denying
the request, and that no permits what.
ever should be given for the construc-
ton of any structures there. BY do
ing SO there would be no charge
against the board that it gave per
mits in one instance and denied them
in others. The entire question was
settled by the presentation Of a mo-
tion by Mr. Wakefield, seconded by
Commissioner Mcclellan, that it is the
sense of the harbor board that no
structures be allowed to be erected on
the Waikiki Beach below high water
