dred yard dash. The other runners
were A. Carter, w. Carter, Cabrinha
and II. CarvalhO, but the latter failed
to complete the course, while the two
Carriers and Cabrinha made compare
lively poor time. "H.
The lads were not pushed, conse-
quently they did not exert themselves,
but the real test is to be made next
Sunday when the full team win cover
the entire distance, starting from the
Volcano House and rnnning in relays
to Mooheau Park. The time put up
on this occasion will be splendid

the day of the race. w.. Es:.a-
II is expected that sufficient other
runners will he out TO make two teams
and make something of n race Of IT, for
Hilo certainly needs two teams, If Ho-
nolulu is to send up Ave teams, as is
promised For Hilo to be represented
by only one team is u disgrace to Hilo,
with the material on hand and the ad,
vantages TO train over the actual
course, and this il being commented
upon by the Honolulu runners. There
are still three weeks in which to train,
which should be sufficient if the neces'

F. KRAUSS' SUBJECT.
Sympathetic, Encouraging Atti-
tude On Part Of Community
Needed For Success

The essentials needed for successful
homesteadiug were pointed out by r.
q. Krauss, county extension agent for
Maui, in a talk before the Al Club
YESTERDAY. Krauss has made study
Of the subject and is entitled to speak
with authority. ..
The value of a sympathetic, encourag-
ing attitude on the part of the state
and the community was brought ont
by him. He said that the plantations
and firms of Maui had been very help
full to the homesteaders, and that he
knew of no single instance where they
had hampered the efforts of the small
farmers in any way.
The selection Of land for homestead
ing purposes should be carefully made,
Krauss said. Its especial fitness for
different sorts of crops should be de.
termined by actual field experiments
carried on in the locality before the
tract Is opened to the public Arrange.
ments should alsosbe made whereby no
man would receive less than forty
acres, which he should be able to in.
crease to eighty acres If he proved a
successful farmer and good citizen.
Other methods led to waste of gov
eminent land, Krauss said. ,...
Among the important Features for
homesteaders are good roads, domes-
tic water supply from safe sources, ruH
raj postal routes, and first, last and all
the time, good roads. The organization,
cooperation and development of the
community spirit should be encouraged
among the homesteaders. They should
be given financial support by the hanks,
rural credit associations, and rural in.
surance. 49,. ~ EL'
The Importance of a thorough study
Of the problem from many angles was
emphasized by Krauss. One of the
features which should be absolutely
eliminated is the fake homesteaders
and the homestead speculatOr, to make
room for the honest man who wants to
make living by small farming.
The sum of 1919 has been collected
from generous local firms by the guava
Jelly committee headed by d. G. May.
The paper cups are being filed and
will be sent away TO the soldiers as
soon as the cartons in which they are
to be packed arrive from the main
land. -
Opinions on the width of the new
belt road have been asked by the SUI
pervisors, and the road committee of
the Ad Club will confer with several
engineers and make report (which will
be forwarded to the supervisors by the
club. Funds are TO be collected for
the maintenance of the Al Club bed
at Leah Home this year.
