FIRST M. E. CHURCH
WILL ELIMINATE CANDY
This Year Money Usually Spent For
Christmas Candy Be Given For
Comforts at Recreation
Rorms.

There VIII be no candy this year
in the annual Christmas treat given
to the Sunday School scholars of the
First Methodist Episcopal Church, the
Rev. DR.. II. Wilson Burgan, pastor.
The Church Sunday School Board
Of Officers at its recent meeting de-
cided 10 cut out candy from the
Christmas festival for the reason that
the money usually spent can be ap-
piled to better uses. This year it was
found that the amount of candy given
each year at the Sunday School
Christmas festival would cost from
two and a half TO three times as much
as in former years, and it was de-
cided TO give this years cost, aggre-
eating some $50 or $50 in money, to
the recreation camp of soldiers and
sailors. to help in the support of this
work. The recreation camp here is
badly in need of funds and must have
assistance to carry on its good work
1t is possible the little tots may be
given candy at their Christmas treat,
but even this has not been fully de-
cided upon, as there may be substi-
lutte even for the little tots candy at
The Sunday School Christmas festival.
The idea of eliminating candy from
the Christmas treat at the First
Methodist Episcopal Church is said to
have had its inception in the editorial
in these columns asking schools and
teachers TO refrain from giving candy
at Christmas this year

SAYS AUSTRALIA
ASDONE SHARE
IN Sending men

New Zealand has responded nobly
to the cause of the Allies" says Prof.
Norwood, hypnotist, who recently ar
rived here from tour Of Australasia.
That country has pledged itself to
send 1000 men each month to the
front. At the present time they find
much difficulty in securing that many
men. 49,. -
% one city Of 500 people in New
Zealand, played to large crowd
and there were but five men between
the ages of 81 to As in the audience.
This condition prevails throughout
New Zealand. Wellington is the bus
lest city in New Zealand at present.
1t is the port where the soldiers leave
and the people come from all parts
Of the country to bid them farewell,
consequently the city has not accom-
modations enough to house the
crowds.
Australia, without CONSUMPTION,
hasn't done quite as much in proper
ton as New Zealand. There Is some
talk at present of enforcing conscrip-
ton there, as at the present lime
there are thousands Of young men
who refuse to go to the front.
Americans were insulted on num-
Der of occasions before United States
declared war, and one Of the Sydney
newspapers burst out in big type with
q cartoon of Uncle Sam as too proud
to fight. The few Americans had a
difficult time on account of these
statements, and for a time 1t was pro-
posed to bar the entrance Of Ameri-
can automobiles. Following the dec
laration of war the residents of Aus
tralasia changed their attitude toward
the United States. : ~.
THE mouse plague in Australia did
much harm to that country. Wheat
was stacked up. along the railroads
for miles, and owing to the lack of
transportation was left there. 1t is
estimated that 10 tons Of the rodents
were killed In one community, ont
still the plague did not cease"
Prof. Norwood is appearing at the
Bijou theater in hypnotic number,
beginning on Monday. -. :,

MAYOR GIVEN
new CHANCE TO
name ENGINEER
II Appoinfee Doesn't Suit Re-
pubIicans, Supervisors Will
Fill Office; Three Appoint
ments Confirmed, Wilson
Turned Down
Z. IITHoUT warning last night the
w appointments OF Mayor J. J.

u lITHOUT warning last night the
" appointments Of Mayor J. j..
w Fern, to positions under the mu-
nicipal government, were taken off
the table on motion made by SUI
pervisor Mott-Smith and six names
were acted, upon, three being APP
proved and three disapproved. The
rest Of the appointments were then
again tabled.
The reason Of this move by the Re-
publican supervisors is the restgna-
ton of George Collins, city and coun-
ty engineer, and willingness to come
to an understanding with Mayor Fern.
The three appointees approved are
DR.. r. G. Aver, Emergency hospital
physician; DIR. James T. Wayson. city
and county physician, and ]. J. Fern,
chauffeur to the mayor. Those 0urned
down are Jehn Wilson for city and
county engineer; Manuel Pacheco, for
superintendent of the water and sewer.
department, and John Markham for
superintendent Of public grounds and
public buildings.
With the name of John Wilson off
the list and the office of city and
county engineer soon to be vacated.
the way Is clear for Mayor Fern to
appoint q man capable of filling the
position and one wis will be approved
by the board. The Republican mem
bers of the board Of supervisors back
ed by the opinion of the attorneys Of
flee, claim that they have the power
to appoint the city and county en-
gineer They are, however, willing to
give Mayor Fern one more chance. II
he names an engineer who will be
acceptable all good and well, but If
he doesn't the Republicans say they
will take the bull by the horns and
appoint their choice,
Who viii be the most acceptable to
the board has not been definitely an
nounced but it is understood that three
of the board favor the appointment
of Fred Ohrt, another is backing L.
M. Whitehouse while E. e. Black and
w. G. Allen have also been spoken
of fayorably. 80

COUNTY PLANS
TO own QUARRY

That the city and county should
own and operate its own rock quarry
is the opinion of the road committee
of the board of supervisors and last
night the city and county engineer
was asked to prepare report on the
advantages of such a move and the
feasibility of condemning the quarry
in MoiNih which is now leased by
the county. w.. .-.:...
1t was pointed out by the road com
mittee that with the city and county
owning its own quarry a large amount
Of money would be saved as the rock
question is very important one in
the permanent Improvement program
which has been outlined. One feature
is that the city can sell the contrac.
tor grock from its own quarry, thus
reducing the cost Of construction.

HILO JAPANESE
MAY join GUARD

Possibility that Hilo may be allow
ed to furnish platoon or even a COM
pan. of Japanese to the national guard
is seen by guard officers in a letter
from Brig.-G Gen. Samuel /. Johnson.
The letter is an answer to one sent by
f. Arakawa Of the Japanese American
Association to the governor and by
him referred to guard headquarters:
The offer to assist the governor in
recruiting Hawaiian-born Japanese in
the guard is highly commendable and
is very much appreciated. However,
instead Of having these young men
join the first regiment, which is in
Honolulu, it would be a great deal bet
ter to have those living on Hawaii,
around Hilo, form platoon, or if pos.
sible a company composed entirely of
japanese, to be assigned for duty with
tie LIST Battalion, End Infantry, on Ha-
wall.
For this 1 would suggest that you
submit the names of not less than
fifty, who desire to form a platoon and
become part of the End Infantry of
Hilo. This action should be taken
without delay"
