WAILUKU. Maui, March li.--Just
how much Hawaiian pineapple grow
ers will receive for their fruit during
the coming year is not known to
certainty, but II Is stated on very good
authority that II will doubtless run
considerably over so per ton for first
class fruit The price to the growers
will as usual be based on the opening
prices which are announced about
May ! .-. ..-=E
1t was stated this week that con-
siderable part of the Hawaiian pack
for 1917 has already been sold subject
to opening prices. Unless the war or
some other factor should interpose
scme unexpected obstacle to cause a
cancellation of orders, pineapples are
expected TO remain firm throughout
the season as they did last. In fact,
contrary to expectations at the out
break OF the European struggle, when
il was thought that pir.apples would
! suffer severely as being in the lux
ury" class, they have steadily improv
| ed in tone, keeping pace well with
other food products.
The output of the islands for 1917
viii probably not run over 2,400.008
cases this year, or about the same as
last year, according to. present esti-
! mates. Oahu. 1t is thought, will fan
below her 1916 pack, and viii have
trouble in the future In keeping up
her Yield Maui will do better than
for the past two years, from new
paintings amounting in all to several
hundred acres, now beginning to come
into bearing. Also from the fact that
| there is still a good deal OF virgin
pineapple land on Maui II Is possible
that this island may in few years
be the leader in pineapple output for
the group. The Haiku district s now
about recovered from the disastrous
rainy season Of 1914 which killed
large areas of plants, and next year
should be packing a yield well up to
previous records.
Development East Of Haiku
The Haiku Fruit e Packing Co. had
made extensive development OF new
lands some five miles east Of its can
merry, in the Ulumalu section, most OF
which will come into bearing in 1918.
/, Homesteaders and others have plant
ed a total of $50 to 200 acres also in
this vicinity.
II is probable that the pack from all
Maui for this year win be somewhere
around 100000 cases, of which the
/ Haiku Fruit & Packing Company will
put up about two-thirds.

wage II would be quite different, say
the directors to the Marquee bill, were
the workmen to get compensation from
the first day.
Another objection raised against the
Marquee bill concerns, the sO-called
"occupational diseases" by which is
meant the diseases which directly or
proximately result from the employ
ment. Provisions regarding them have
been incorporated in several Eastern
manufacturing states where work Is
very likely to bring the employe in
contact with poisonous chemicals or
other things which are a menace to
health But in Hawaii, where there is
hardly such thing as "occupational
diseases" the provision is declared
unnecessary and would mean an I'M
desirable increase in insurance rates,
due largely to the possible large mum.
Der Of questionable cases that would
arise out of diseases whose true origin
would be impossible to trace.
There are good many other objec'
tions being raised to amendments OF
lesser Importance, but the ones given
here seem to be the vital ones upon
which the discussion will center.

CELEBRATE FOURTH.

An extensive arrangement has been
made for really patriotic celebration
of the Fourth in Cordele and it ought
to mean something to everybody. 10y
atty to the nation, devotion to the
cause which has sent our arms to Eu-
rope and our men to the trenches by
the side of other liberty loving people,
ought to be intensified in the patriotic
exercises that are to be held Wednes-
day at the Methodist church.
The good women of Cordele are
carrying forward this part of the work
in effective manner. 1t is time we be-
gin pinchng ourselves and testing our
real loyalty. We will have many
things come to us before the war is
over that will require manifestation
of our loyalty and the first lessons

let him go. He will get his mind

THE NEGRo's RIGHTS.

The cambridge Post-Searchlight
prints an editorial opinion about the
negro and the exit north and east
that has some common sense in it.
1t is rather plain but true.
The idea of a spoilers lending a lit
tie negro a git with which to play dice
and send him to Jail isn't a new one
at all. Things like that actually oc-
cur. And the officers who get fee for
the little negro's conviction could tell
many a similar true-to-life story.
The money lender and the loan
shark is another fashionable enemy of
the negro who robs him and keeps on
robbing him. The negro, until he
learns HON to dodge this enemy, is in
a had fix. He can never have his in
dependence again once he starts with
tie loan shark.
There is rarely an employer who
maintains habit of swindling the
negro out of what he works for, but
once his pay is in his hands, he is
lucky if he gets home with it. Mean
tiger liquor is his failing and every
tiger that thriyes does so largely on
the negro. 1t is wonderfully democrat
izing.
But these things are not pushing
the negro north. 1t is the prospect of
high wage. He thinks he can live on
anything and have more for his labor.
Of course, it is all mistake The
negro is not going to- work without a
southern boss man. He doesn't know
it, but it is true. He hasn't found a
northern friend who will take him out
of Jail, who will sit up late at night
to keep him from being imposed upon
by some unjust man. His southern
boss may cuss him, but he can get
what he wants when he wants it,
provided his wants are anywhere with
in reason.
The negro may get along in the
north, but it is certain that he must
learn to adjust himself to an entirely
new set of circumstances.

have displayed in their own land, for
no people on earth love the principles
of freedom more than ours no soldiers
can display greater daring.
But somehow we feel the main force
will not be the American ruse. Thou
sands upon thousands of American
soldiers will likely not be needed in
this conflict for the future. American
genius will rather serve instead. Ger
many is to meet her dom where she is
least expecting it. This country is
going for Germany's air service, and
without that Germany loses. With
Americans on the front something will

AMERICANS 10 FRONT.

1t certainly must be a matter of
great pride in the hearts of all loyal
American citizens to know that Amer
lean regulars are gone to the battle
front in France this early. The ac-
Gcrat of the past week of the arrival
OF contingent to fight with France
under General Pershing was a happy
surprise to our people who themselves
were not looking for such announce
ment. And to know that the Ger
man subs were lying in wait and miss
ed their prey makes everybody feel
dpubly happy All Of it indicates that
this country has gone to the task with
oit a bit of child's play
sThe day following the announce
ment that our soldiers had reached
France afforded another war bulletin
showing the Canadian soldiers push
ing the German Prussian Guard out

determination is proving a new ter

death list with tears and sorrow, but

American soldier who will falter in
the hour of bitterest combat. We know

such numerous organizations, the ex-
pense attaching. There's work for a
new superintendent there and let us
venture the assertion that Superin-
tendent Boyd will change that thing.
He couldn't be live wire and fail to
realize that changes must come. He
knows the children should have more
than six months in school. You'll
hear from him.
Lawton B. Evans, leading educator
and superintendent of the schools of
Richmond county, one-system coun-
ty with forty members on it's county
board of education, has this to say
of several systems in one county:
Nearly every county in Georgia has
a large town in oit,-some counties
have large cities. Yet / know that
many of these cities and towns have
Independent school systems, Offering
superior advantages to the city and
town children and have cut loose from
the county and the country schools.
This is disastrous, most foolish
policy and the state is obliged to suf-
fer by it in the future. 1t will starve
the rural child educationally, and fat
ten the city child, just as long as the
rural child will stand for it, and then
he will move to town where he thinks
to find a better chance. And who can
blame him, when the city and town
child gets nine months in school and
the country child gets only five? The
city organization is selfish and short
sighted ard will discourage the farm
er's child in the nearby sections. The
cities should be wise enough to spread
their protecting wings over the farm
ers' homes and foster them into
strength aid vigor. Any other policy
is suicidal"
uperintendent Evans calls atten-
ton to the needs of increased machin-
cry the confusion in school grades
and books, the variety in the pay of
teachers, the conflicts in rules and
egulations,-these are all difficulties
insurmountable where there are sew
eral systems in a single county. That
trouble is our trouble now. If we sug-
gest that our system can be improved,
shall we be condemned for it?

GIVE THE NEGROES JUSTICE.

If a -spotter loans a little negro 5
cents to shoot craps, then turns him
up and jury of folks convicts said
little negro on said evidence is it any
wonder that there is an exodus? We
have heard of such cases in this sec
ton and if our juries will bring YER
diets according to law and facts and
not the color of the hide maybe some
of this would stop. The yankee is
getting onto the negro question. They
are hiring him by the hundreds, and
sending down south and hiring white
men to go there and work them, and
it is working well in all the indus
tries.
Now, Mr.. Juror, you well know that
if they do this, they are going to han
die the negro and he will stay there
Somebody has put those yanks wise
They know they can not work ne
gro and they are using their brains
by getting cracker to work him.
Let's quit convicting him lust cause
he is damned Niger" but because
he has really violated the law.
We are taking the negroes part
only that he gets what is his, but we
tell your right now that if they send
down here and get the white men to
go there and handle them, it is good
bye Mr.. Negro. Everybody knows that
the negro will work contented and
satisfied under southern white man.
A story is being told of a bunch of
sullen and dissatisfied negroes in one
of the towns there where they sent
after a cracker to work them. The
first morning he went on the works,
he blazed into cussing round or two
and in a minute the negroes were all
singing and working hard and regu-
lar. They were back home as soon as
they heard that cracker cuss. They
knew that he would cuss them, but
they also knew that he would ride all
night to get one out of Jail or to help
one if he was sick.
1t has been truthfully said that ev-
cry white man has his negro, and it is
also true that every negro has his
white man in this section. The ne
groes may be led off up there with
lies, but if they are put under south
ern white men to work after they get
there, don't look for them to come
back as fast as you have been. Think
over this situation as it puts a new
phase on this exodus business. l. -.
