could use his time in the campaign
even though he had "a hours a day
It isn't a question of canvassing or
of putting in time: it is a question
OF your friends helping you, and
doubtless each member will see his
or her friends before September /,
without the use of any special time
spent in working at ALL Fifteen min
utes' spare time a day in mentioning
the prizes and votes, when you meet
your friends, will produce as good
results as Il hours a day.
1t doesn't cost one penny to enter
the club and it need take up
only your spare time after you do
enter. So why not enter?

this morning the report Of the specia
board investigating the national guard
because Of complaints arising aftel
the recent Kawailoa camp. The gov

1t is rumored that there are several
sharp criticisms and significant find
ings in the report which will not be
pleasing to national guard heads.
When the board was appointed
Adjt.-Gen. Johnson, commanding the
guard, said that it would make a re
port which would b" given to the pub.

ings to be published Some time after
he said that perhaps the report might
be considered confidential military
document, though he would take the
position that 1t ought to be made
public. ..~. H.

SENECA TO TAKE OUT
BALANCE OF 1917 SUGAR

Practically all of the 1917 sugar Of
the Sugar Factors is to be shipped
to New York by the Seneca, a former
German ship now operated by the
shipping board. This steamer is to
take between 1000 and 1900 tons OF
sugar to the Eastern port from Homo
lulu and Kahului Shortage of sugar
in New York is said to be the reason
for the demand that the ship go to
the Atlantic instead Of to San Fran
cisco as originally planned.
The shipment of sugar by the
Seneca will be the first to leave here
since the new freight rate of SIS a
ton on such cargo was set by. the

for giving claimants to oil lands in the

This is in direct contradiction to
the despatch from Washington, D. c..

the condemnation OF all existing

reserve area.
The cable received this morning was

specifically touched the oil situation.
The Phelan amendment is to give the

Of one-eighth royalty.
The Phelan amendment was report
