WATERED SECURITIES
BY Peter Radford.

Much has been said and more writ,
ten about the evils of watered stock in
big business concerns and the farm.
ers of this nation believe that every
dollar written into the life of any
business organization, should be able
to say Il know that my Redeemer
liveth," but farming Is the biggest
business ON earth, and there is more
water in Its financial transaction than
that OF any other industry, There is
as much water in a farmers note
drawing eight or ten per cent interest
when other lines Of industry secure
money for four or five per cent per
annum, as there is In a business pay
Ing a reasonable compensation upon
the face value OF securities repre-
senting an investment OF only fifty
cents on the dollar. The only diff.
ference is. the water Is in the interest
rate in one instance and in the secur.
tiles In the other.
The promoter ofttimes takes chances
and his success is contingent upon
the development Of the property In.
volved but the usurer, as a rule. takes
no chances and his succe is cripples
the property involved. There may be
industries that cry louder but none
that suffer o severely from finan.
cial immortality In both law and Gus.
tom than that of agriculture.
The farmers of Amar;ca tod.v 49,.
paying 5000, 1000. 900 per annum in
usury on real estate and chattel
loans, and this interest capitalized
at five per cent. represents 81, 1000, OOO.. |
900 Of fictitious values which the farm.
er is paying interest on. This sum of
money is almost equal to the annual
value Of crops produced in the United
States.
The earning power Of the farmers
note based upon his interest rate very
nearly divides likes the earth's sur.
face-three.fourths water and one.
fourth land. The largest body Of wa.
ter that floats upon the financial hem.
isphere nov rests upon the farms
and is waves are dashing and its
pillows are rolling against seven mil.
lion homes threatening ruin and dis.
aster to the prosperity Of the nation.
Will u public servants who under.
stand how to drain the liquid of in.
dustrial properties turn the faucet and
the water of the farms?

The men at liberty are Tin Soon,
Korean, and Candida, Filipino. AL
though information as to the where
abouts of the men has been received
from time to time the police have
been unable to locate them. Two
weeks ago the men were working
with a gang of prisoners at the new
territorial penitentiary site. At the
end of the day they were missed by
the guard and since that time they
have been roaming Oahu, it is be-
lieyed
Tin Soon has long criminal rec
ord. He was first sentenced to jail

larceny. On February II, 1903, he
was sentenced on a similar charge.
On March ). 1905, he was sentenced

degree larceny again.
On February &c, 1910, he was SEN
fenced for enlightenment. He forged
an order on Hackfeld & Co. for bags,
sold them for $50 and made his get
away on the Wilhelmina. At the time
he was a "trusty" driving a wagon
and was able to escape.
After being brought back to Homo.
lulu he was sentenced to Is months
more on August IS, 1910. And on
May 26, 1917, he again was sentenced
to five more years for stealing cop
per wire from the Hawaiian Electric
company. He was serving this sen.
tence when he escaped.
Candida, the Filipino at large, en-
tered upon his criminal career on
October 81, 1910 when, with another
Filipino, he broke into Hook On's
store and stole about $3.50 worth OF
clothes. On February S, 1911, he was
sentenced to serve not less than five
years. -.
He escaped while serving this term
and was captured at Waialua. While
on his way in with the police Off
Ger in an automobile, he got hold OF
the officers gun and shot him: He
made his escape and was later cap
tured by the detective force at the
LIoDy, McNeill and Libby cannery on
the other side of the island. g..
For shooting the man he received
an additional sentence, and it was
these sentences which he was serV-
ing when he made his third escape.

Strong
TAKESCOMMAND
OF GUARD WORK

Pleasing comment on Brig. Gen.
Frederick S. Strong is made by the
San Diego Union in an article writ
ten concerning him at the time he
arrived as head Of the 10th national
guard cantonment at Linda Vista,
near San Diego. Friends Of the gem
eral in Hawaii will read with interest
the following description:
In appearance, Gen. Strong is the
ideal soldier. He Is six feet, two
inches in height, weights an even 200
pounds and is as erect as the pro-
verbal arrow. An abundant suite OF
gray hairs frames a face that is
youthful in appearance and colOring
and it is almost 60 years ago that
Frederick S. Strong saw the light Of
day. His face denotes power and the
ability TO command, and yet is affa-
bility itself. His eyes are capable OF
flashing anger's lightning and his
voice has the tones that carry com
mand, but his eyes twinkle with good
nature and his voice is ever ready to
respond with ready laughter to the
humorous in life.
SOuiptIEllI anu oIIdOlC wac IAO
succinct comment made by one who
met the general last night for the
first time
Camp Kearney's commander is des
tined to immediate popularity with the
people of San Diego and the men un'
der his command will love and re-
spect him.
The administrative ability of Gen
Strong has been fully demonstrated
during the years that he officiated as
military governor of Hawaii. The Ha
waiian department of the U. S. army
is the largest military department oil
the United States. The high opinion
entertained of him by the war depart
ment is shown in his present assign
ment when he was selected to com
mand what will be the largest can.

Glue Them Your Sympathy,

Hawaii has just contributed
one hundred of her finest young
men, to be made into army Off
GERS. Hawaii stands ready to
give other hundreds-yes, thou

But our duty doesn't end
there; in fact, it has barely begun.
1t perhaps is only a question of
time when these young men will
be on the firing line. Upon us
rests the duty of providing hos
pital and frst-aid supplies against
the day when it may be necessary

pUNAHOU Will
retain MILITARY
TRAINING COURSE
Course viii Be in Charge OF
Frank Midkiff; Cadets to
Get New Uniforms

Punahou is completing plans for
continuing military training in the
curriculum another year. Il is The be-
ief, based upon experience OF The past
wo years, that military training Is
beneficial to TIE Punahou 10Y.
The work will be similar to that
f last year. Ii is planned TO give
training averaging three hours pei
week. This is in keeping with The re
luirements of the war department tor
hose schools which are using govern
nent supplies. There will be two reg
alar drills weekly, with a third drill
Tor officers and non-commissloned OIL
Ulcers. This will not satisfy the three
aour per week requirement, but the
necessary average will be made by
one or two weekend enCampmentS
during the spring term.
A signal change in the work Is that
the academy cadets will be equipped
with new uniforms. Although the
white uniform previously used was
cool and attractive, 1t was found I'm
practical and too easily soiled for the
purposes of military training, so It Is
to be replaced by Khaki. Arrange
ments have been made to furnish ca
diets the following supplies: Cam
paign hat, wooden shirt, black string
tie, khaki trousers, leather belt, can
vas Ieggins and serviceable tan shoes
The whole set will cost $12. Doubtless
most cadets will wish an extra shirt
and extra pair of trousers, which
two items will be furnished for $6
more.
The authorities feel that this uni
form will be a very commemorate
economy. It will be noticed that the
two suits can be purchased for $ls
less than one ordinary school SUIT
tosts, to say nothing OF the hat, tie,
belt and shoes. The uniform Will De
required on drill days; it is permit
ted to wear it on other days as we'll
Owing to the great demand for OF
ficers in the regular army, 1t is not
probable that Punahou will have the
services of an army officer this year,
The work will be in charge OF Frank
Midkiff. who will be assisted by Mr.,
Rollins, a new member of the Puma
hou faculty. Mr.. Rollins has had
three years training in New Hamp'
shire state college, where he re-
ceiyed a commission. He is well quail
flied for the work at Punahou.
