During the last two Sr three weeKs
there has been a great zeal OF 4ik
about business hysteria and economic
hvstaria. The intentions Of many

his community to educate the people
in such matters as style and rner-

Right now is the time when he shou!d
make a special effort to educate n
people Of his community regarding
present conditions.
It is true that we need prosperity
in war time even more than ina times
Of peace. The declaration Of war
should not nave and will not have a
direct depressing erect on business.
The evils that exist and are liable to
exist are psychological. for our mar
kets are the same as they were and
the need for merchandise certainly Is
no less. ".H"7.. -. .
Economy in certain lines is advo-
Gated by the best authorities. but
there is liable to be an indiscriminate
economy that would be ruinous. The
waste Of foodstuks should be avoided.
Of course. but If men and women have
reason why 1t should not be spent for
the things that same money has al
ways bought. providing the making OF
these things makes for the employ
ment Of labor not needed worse in an
other field.
There is an evident fear among
business men that the impulse to
economy may suddenly contract the
volume of business to such an extent
as to disorganize industry. throw wage
earners into idleness and create a gem
eral state Of alarm and confusion
which would seriously impair the
great emergency which c%onfronts it.
They urge that 1t is better for each
person to go ahead in his accustomed
way and with his usual expenditures
than to run the risk of disturbing the
orderly movement of trade by encour-
aging a general change Of pace.

What The Victory Or Defeat Of
Germany Means To Every American

to be is the issue of this war. If Ger
many wins, the government Of the
world will be German Kaiser; If
America and the Allies win, the gov
ernment will be all the rest of US.
Those Americans who wish to govern
themselves are for" the war. Those
who wish to be governed by a Kaiser
are against it. The lukewarm and the
Indifferent are asleep; they do not
know what threatens them in this
sleep of theirs. They may wake to-
Nightmares of reality worse than those
Of sleep.
The struggle cannot end, and can
but temporarily abate. until either
Kaiser rules the world or the people
of the world rule themselves. There
is no middle ground; defeated Ger
many would eventually get rid OF its
Kaiser; victorious Germany would
keep it's Kaiser-and keep him over
Us. Every American who likes to
walk Potsdam has chance Of enjoy
ing himself in that manner some day
SO long as there is a chance Of Ger
manys winning the war.

BONUS RATES
To Be ABOUT
70 PER CENT

Plantation labor in the territory OF
Hawaii will receive more than a mil
lion dollars this year in excess OF what
was paid them in bonuses last year
They will be paid more than $1,000, 00G
as against approximately 100000 il
1916. In 1916 the payments were at
the rate of 50 per cent, while this year
according to present averages the per
centage will be Sc to ~ per cent
This is more apt to be raised rather
than lowered before the season ends
Bonuses are determined by the pre-
vailing price of sugar and with the
present price of raw sugar above the
average for the season some further
increase in the bonus rate may be eS-
pected.
With maximum price for raw su,
gar fixed by the food administrator
the plantation laborer will be one OF
the first to feel it, but if a - cent
price be made the bonuses would be
about the same as in 1916, or on

Maui Delegate Discusses Ques-

Defends Merchant

By agreement of the Civic COnvcn,

Of the hour yesterday afternoon, tire
papers Of Harold Rice on hay rails.
Ing and curing. and by John J.
Walsh, on the marketing and sale at
reasonable price Of the products Of
the territory. were not read, and
were laid aside to be Incorporated in
the printed report OF the convention.
Mr.. Walsh's paper was replete with
concrete statements based upon his
study of conditions in the islands. \
summary OF his intended remarks is
given below:
The areas devoted to farming III
Hawaii are invariably small and long
distances from the market" said MIR.
Walsh, so that good transportation
facilities are essential; this means
good roads from the farming dis
tricts to point of shipment b. rail or
water.
Considers Small Farmer
Many small farmers are without
facilities for getting their crops to
market, and therefore are obliged to
sell the produce on their place to
others who furnish containers and
transportation. There is an unneces.
sary expense here which could be eli
minated if the farmers would form an
association Of growers. one object Of
this association being to take care of
the hauling for such of its members as
are unable to do it themselves
To Prevent Ser2pobI.
The farmers association already
mentioned should arrange for the
combining Of small lots from various
farms and ship to reputable mer-
chants who will generally pay cash on
receipt or shortly after. This would
prevent the scramble to beat the other
fellow to market which generally re,
suits in a glut and loss"
Among the economic hints dropped
by Mr. Walsh were the following:
Growers should store their crops eth
err on the farm or at the nearest ship
ping point. and as far as possible ship
only on consignment. They should
grade their produce for quality and
size, rather than have the wholesaler
do it or fall back on the alternative
of getting graded produce from the
mainland. The farmer can use the
rejected grades on his farm, besides
saving the freight rates and avoiding
the chance of spelling his higher
