OIL COMPANY
ECONOMIES ON
T|NDURINGW WAR

Each day war necessities are edu-
eating the American people to new
habits Of thrift. This was pointed to
today by A. s. Prescott. the local
manager of the Standard Oil Co, when
he referred to economies being made
by his company to help conserve the
supply OF tin.
Heretofore large quantities OF Star
Oil ,kerosene} has been sold in one
and five gallon tin cans, but this prac-
tise is being discouraged to save tin.
The same Star oil heretofore SOLD
extensively IN tins is carried in bulk
BY dealers and can be purchased from
them az small money saving as we'll
as at a saving in lin for the nations
needs. So important is this matter
OF tin Conservation that it is the pa
triotiC duty of every American to con-
serve the supply as lar as possible,
and one way OF doing this is to buy
kerosene like commodities in bulk In
stead of IN tin cans.

new RATEBASIS
PUZZLES AGENTS

Until a freight tariff drawn up &C
cordIng to the new schedule of rates
between San Francisco and Honolulu
is received here the Matsou agents at
Castle & Cco1e's are in a quandary as
to what rate to charge on certain
shipments.
All that is known of the new rate
schedule fixed BY the shipping board,
in which the charges are almost
doubled. is that contained in a shoT:
cablegram received Monday, which
stated that the base rate for merchan-
disc would be So. The information
was also added that pineapples would
come under the same rate and bananas
at so cents a bunch. For sugar there
is a special rate OF 81 a ton. fixed a
week or so before, effective Dec. Is.
The cablegram suggests a whole Sc
rieS OF questions to the Matson
freight agents. For instance, will this
rate apply TO cement shipments? In
the past there has always been spe-
cal rate of one dollar less for cement
cargo, but this may not be SO under
the shipping board rates. No one
seems to know just why there ever
was a special rate established for &C.
ment. and unless this is answered 1t is
likely the shipping board will want
the same amount Of money for cement
cargo as for anything else
Then there is also a matter of a spe-
cial rate which has always been made
on the return shipment Of empty con.
tainers, principally barrels, to the
mainland. In the past 25 cents a
piece was charged for shipping bar
rels to the states, and it is estimated
that the shipping board will want
about 40 cents apiece for barrels if
the advance in other freight rates is
a criterion.
Still, there is a possibility that
there will be no special rates and that
shippers Of empty containers will have
to pay the So a ton rate the same as
on any other shipments. However, If
this is the case the charges would be
so high 1t would be prohibitive to re-
turn the containers. some think.
1t will probably be another week
before definite information as to the
working of the new rates will be re-
ceived here in detail. In the mean
time shipments will likely be received
for future adjustment or adjustment in
San Francisco, where the rates are
now known.
