METHODIST CHURCH

We hope to see a great number of our people out at the services tomor- row. Of the more than seven-hundred church members we ought to have at least five hundred present. Of the four hundred members of the Sunday School we ought to nave three hundred present. Of the sixty members of the mems class we should have fifty pres ent, why not? We will have them if you will come. Lets have a great day tomorrow, come and help to make it great. The hot summer is gone and the beautiful autumn is here so lets get in our places at Sunday School and church.
 There is to be preaching at the Clear Creek church tomorrow afternoon fol- lowed by the baptism of two in the Creek. Would like for number of our Epworth Leaguers to go down and assist in organizing League at Clear Creek church. Let two or three offer their cars for the afternoon. This is good work, help it along.
 Those are good people down there and they appreciate what we have done and all we may do for them. Our Epworth League is doing some very fine work just now for the church The League is going to look after our church paper. They will call on all for a subscription or renewal, so help out when they call on you.

AUTOS SEIZED
BECAUSE TAX
Was NOT PAID
ignorance of New Law Thought
to Be Principal Cause of
Many DeIinquenCles

Another campaign against automo'
bile owners who have not paid their
taxes to the territory is being started
by the tax office Not less than a
score of motorists found their ma
chimes tied up with government seals
Friday evening when they were
starting home from business.
The tag man was out again Satur-
day and a dozen or so automobiles had
been tagged by noon.
According to the tax men, many o.
the delinquepcfes are due to ignorance
of the new law which requires that all
machines bought after April 26, 1911.
must have taxes paid on them for the
remainder of the year at pro rata
charge.
Still others have been found whose
taxes have been paid all right, but
which do not carry the tax tag on the
machine. This is required by law. A
man cannot expect to carry his tag
in his pocket or keep it at home in
his bureau drawer and be safe from
the embarrassment caused by finding
his automobile throttled with gov
eminent SEAL Many of them come
into the tax office toward the close of
day, red-eyed, the tax men say, but
learn on getting there that they have
been at fault in not reading the law.

SAYS BUSINESS
GOOD IN HAWAII

With the exception of a great loss
in tourist trade. Honolulu is getting
more business than it ever had, ac-
cording to Watson Ba1trntyne. bank
teller from Honolulu, who is wishing
in Seattle for few days, says the
Seattle (Wash.) Times.
Honolulu was hard hit by the de-
crease in tourist trade said Be len
tyne at the Savoy lat evening. Many
of the big hotels reconstructed their
establishments to accommodate 4 orc
people. New hotels were built. But
when the season opened the visitors
did not arrive, and the business r'en
had to suffer the loss. Outside Of this
business is the best it has been for
some time. We nave some trouble
with our shipping. 1t is rumored that
the United States is going to take
two of the largest ships off the run for
transports. This will cause a great
deal of trouble in the shipping world
because even now we are short of YES
sells"
PEOPLE in Hawaii know nothing
about the outcome of CONSUMPTION in
that district, said Ballentyne. Every
one had to register, but since then
nothing has been done The majority
of those registering were Japanese,
who did not know how old they were,
but signed up to be on the safe side,
according to the banker. The idea of
the japanese taking over United
States possessions in the Pacific is
foolish, in Ballentyne's opinion.
The labor situation, Ballentyne said,
is running smoothly. The Japanese
coolies are not organized to such
state as to command a change in con-
ditions. Wages for Americans are
high, he said. Street car men get as
much as $136 a month.

REVENUE OFFICE
DOES NOT Think
SAkEISBARRED
Manufacture of Liquor CIaSsed
as Wine May Continue, is
Collectors Opinion

"As far as this office knows, the
manufacture of sake may be continued
in Hawaii" says Ralph S. tombstone,
acting collector of internal revenue.
I'VE have not been advised as to
whether the importation of sake to
Hawaii from Japan will be prohibited
at least for the period of the war"
1t is held by the revenue office that
sake is not a distilled liquor, and that
it therefore does not come within the
provisions of the liquor clause of the
national food law. 1t is regarded as
ferment, and is classed as wine for
the purpose of imposing revenue taxes
only, says Acting Collector Johnson.
One of the principal reasons for the
imposition of a tax on sake is be-
cause it contains from Is to 10 per
cent alcohol "and'thi is the reason"
added Mr.. Johnson, that it is taxed
under our bureau as a wine"
Beer is taxed at the rate of $1.5O
for 81 gallons, and sake is taxed at the
rate of 10 cents a gallon, or more than
twice as much as beer. Beer contains
between 2 and per cent alcohol. T..
District Attorney S. c. Huber has
expressed the opinion that sake, being
classed as a brewed liquor, or wine,
will not come within the provisions OF
the liquor clause, and that its manu-
facture will not affect the food supply
for the reason that the rice used is
imported from Japan. -.
An enormous reduction in the To-
cal sake supply will be brought about,
1t is declared, If its importation from
Japan is prohibited, as nearly every
vessel from the Orient brings large
quantities of it to Honolulu. -:
