Vegetables are Being Injured by
Plant Lice.

Small green plant lice are now at
lacking vegetable crops and may do a
large amount of harm in short time
unless destroyed. Potatoes, tomatoes
and cabbage are the main vegetables
being attacked.
These small green plant lice are
usually found on the under-sides OF
the leaves and on the more tender
portions of the stem. They iniure the
plant by inserting their beaks through
the rind and sucking out the sap.
They do not consume the foliage
Spraying these lice SO thoroughly with
mixture Of nicotine, soap and water,
that every louise will be well wetted
will destroy them.
Mix 2 teaspoonfuls Of 40 per cent
nicotine with gallon of water in which
ounce of whale-oil or laundry soaE
has been dissolved. Apply the mixture
as misty spray 80 thoroughly tina
all the lice will be well wetted.

Citizens TO Honor Troons.


A public farewell reception will be
given Company E, Sd Regt., N. G. N.
j., on Thursday evening, July 10, at
8o'clock, in the Mount Holly Methodist
Episcopal church, under the auspices
of the Ushers' Union of that church.
Learning that Company E, which is
principally composed Of Mount Holly
boys, is to be mustered into the Fed
eral service on July 25 and leave for a
training camp, and realizing that
some testimonial of appreciation OF
their patriotism should be given by the
people of Mount Holly, the Ushers'
Union took the initial step on Sunday
by holding q special meeting and ap-
pointing committee of five to make
complete arrangements for the recep-
ton. The committee is composed of
Nathan Miller, chairman; L. S. Boyce,
secretary; J. Frank Scattergood, Philip
8. Irons and Raymond w. Sprow.
The arrangements thus far made are
that the public patriotic service will be
held in the auditorium room of the
church, to which all the ministers of
the town will be invited to give short
patriotic talks. There will be an inter-
esting program of patriotic music, and
other features that will make this a
very interesting and appropriate event
prior to our boys leaving for the train
ing camp and later probably for France
to join the other American troops
there. This service will be open to the
public.
After the patriotic exercises have
been concluded the members of Com
pany E will be invited to the Sunday
school room, where they will be served
with refreshments in the way of ice
cream and cake by the members of the
Ushers' Union and their wives.
This is a very critical moment in
the lives Of the men OF Company E,
when they leave home and loved ones,
to go to fight for the freedom Of the
world. 1t is hoped that there will be a
large turnout of the people of the town
in order that the departing Company
may see that the people of Mount
Holly feel that the efforts and services
of the Company are fully appreciated.
The Ushers' Union asks for the
hearty cooperation OF the townspeople
in this effort, and they hope that every
citizen who possibly can will attend
these exercises. Don't forget the date,
Thursday evening. JulV 10.

Slow Baseball On
Local Diamond Sunday

Last Sundays baseball games on
the Wailullu diamond were again one
sided and not thrillingly interesting.
In the first go the Hawaiis lost to
the Japanese, the score being IL to 5;
and in the second game the A. A. Cs.,
defeated the Chinese by a score of IS
to 4.
1t was intended that last Sundays
baseball should be between mixed,
local team and the slabsters from the
U. S. S. Alert, but as the latter did
not arrive in time the contest had to
be called off and arrangements chang
ed.

Submarine FlOtilla
Comes To Lahaina
Four Divers And Tender Alert Arrive
For ManeuverS-Maui Boys Among
CrewS--All Being Entertained By
Friends AshOre-Leave Sunday

The L. S. submarine tender Alert
and a flotilla of four X submarines
arrived off Lahaina Saturday, the lat
ter to engage in sea maneuvers. They
came from their base at Pearl Harbor
and will return there Sunday night,
according to plans at this writing.
On arrival off Lahaina it was found
that one-of the two-little gasoline
submarine chasers had not appeared.
There was some uneasiness about the
craft and the submarines put to sea
again to look for her. They found
that something had gone wrong with
her machinery, but that she was other
wise in good shape and came in under
her own power. Submarines and
chaser arrived during Monday and
Monday evening.
The submarines are the K-3, K-4,
K-7 and KS. The Alert is one of
the oldest vessels in the American
navy, although she has been almost
rebuilt several times. She has visit
ed the Islands many tipes.
On the Alert are about sixty Hawaii
an boys, belonging to Oahu, Maui and
Hawaii. The Maui boys aboard are:
A. Bal, ]. Correa, A. De Rego, J. Vivas,
]. Keehu, ]. Silva, L. S. Kan, w. X.
Hardy, G. c. Hardy, Sonny Hart and
w. Trip. They have been royalty
received and entertained by relations
and friends while here. The men are
required to be aboard Saturday after
noon.
The Hawaiian boys on the Alert are
spoken very highly of by their Off
GERS, who say that they are excellent
sailors, willing and capable and that
their department is exceptionally
good.
There is nothing out of the ordinary
about the cruise of the little fleet. 1t
is the usual turn around" for prac-
tice. Officers and men, other than
those belonging here, have been to
Maui before and have friends here, by
whom they are being entertained.

Road Accident
This Afternoon

The automobile of S. E. Kalama,
chairman of the Board of Supervisors,
was run off the road at the Japanese
camp between Wailuku and Kihei at
o'clock this afternoon, to avoid col

badly wrecked.
Lui Lake, the chauffeur, sustained
severe bruises on the face and right
arm, but was otherwise unhurt.
Lake was going from Wailuku to
Kihei to get Mr.. Kalama. Just be-
yond the Japanese camp a child ran
out into the road. To avoid striking
the little fellow, Lake quickly turned
the car to one side and it tipped over

Falls From Wharf
And Is Drowned
A Filipino, In An intoxicated Condi-
ton, Pulls Off Successful Drowning
Stunt At Hama Wharf

About 1880 o'clock last Friday
night a Filipino named Amundo Ma
baru, age %, single, formerly of Paia
a plantation laborer, jumped or fell
from the wharf at Hama and was
drowned.
The body was recovered and a cor
oner's jury heard all the evidence to
be secured. A verdict was returned
to the effect that the man came to
his death as the result of falling off
the wharf at Hama into the bay.
Nabaru had arrived at Hama, from
Paia, only about two weeks before
and was not very well known around
the place Natives and others out
fishing saw him standing at the end
of the wharf and later, heard a splash
in the water. The body was not found
right away and when it was recovered
life was extinct.
The Filipino was a drinking man and
witnesses who saw him on the wharf
were of the opinion that he was con-
siderably the worse for liquor. This
lends color to the theory that he
simply tumbled from the landing to
his death.

Mr.. O. Brien Believes That The Stu

At the last monthly meeting of the
Haiku Farmers Association, held on
September 80, Mr.. J. f. O'Brien, who
is associated with the County Agricul-
tural Agent on Maui, read a highly in
teresting paper on Failure and Sue
cess in Haiku, as l see it," Mr..
O'Drien having been successful
homesteader in Florida, his observa-
tions on local homesteading should be
both interesting and valuable. His
paper, as follows, is supplied by Mr..
f. G.. Krauss:
My object in presenting this paper
is to stir up criticism, for if | sue

of the statements I make, then l
think the time we spend here tonight
will be well spent. 1 hope therefore
you viii be perfectly free to criticize
and discuss any of the statements
contained in my paper.
A man need not go far to find evil
dences of the failure of homestead
ing in Haiku. The derelict farms the
vacant homes, the wasted energy, the
blighted hopes, not to speak of the
earnings sunk in the projects, all are
evidences of failure, which should

practically all times. An excellent
proposal has been submitted and
seems to have q good chance of be
ing approved.
