MAY & CO. DRAW
Wide ATTENTION
in COFFEE TRADE

The following news item appeared
in the December issre of the Tea and
Coffee Trade Journal of New York:
The coffee business in the Hawai-
ian Islands is important not only as
regards the growing of considerable
coffee of excellent quality but also
as regards roasting for home con-
sumption. The large grocery house
of Henry May & Company at Homo
lulu is enlarging its coffee roasting
business, having recently installed a
Jubilee rooster, with flexible-arm
cooler and stoner and No. ! burns
graduating mill" ....:.
This is of general interest to the
trade throughout the territory as it
conveys the news of installation of a
notwithstanding coffee roasting
plant to meet the requirements of the
steady growth Of Henry May & Com
pany's business in this department.
Ever since the time the house Of
Henry May & Company, Ltd, com
menced business, 60 years ago, the
purchase of green coffee, roasting and
selling of same has been very i'm
portant branch OF the concern.
Coffee of dependable quality has
been placed upon the market and the
brands now handled have met with
such success that the new plant be-
came an absolute necessity.
The coffee rooster is electrically
driven and the roasting is accomplish
ed by gas flame. Individual motors
drive the separate pieces of machin-
cry, such as the hoaster, elevators,
blowers, stoner and grinder. The
coffee is not touched by hand during
the entire process of roasting, grinding
and packing. 49,. -. .-.:.@.
The evolution of the business caused
the presentation Of the Mayflower
brand of Kona coffee, which is now
generally used through the islands.
Mayflower KoRa coffee is an island
product and is packed in one and two
pound packages and No. 5 tins.
The public has been invited to in
spect the plant at any time.

PAVING OPPOSED

Protests against the paving OF
Bishop street have been filed by the
Bishop Trust Company, Theo. H.
Davies & Co. and the First National
Bank of Hawaii
The reason given for the protests
was that they believed that Bishop
street should be extended to the water
front first when the extension is
made" the accompanying letter said,
office and store buildings will be
erected on our property" They also
consider it inadvisable to lay down
permanent improvements before i'm
provements on the adjoirlng land are
made, or at least until plans for the
buildings have been prepared in order
that the water and sewer connections
can be shown.

FLORIDA'S PRISON FARM

DR.. S. H Bitch, who has Just re-
turned from the state prison farm at
Raiford, where he goes the first and
fifteenth of each month TO assist In
grading prisoners for lease, farm and
road service, gives a glowing account
of the splendid buildings, premises,
farm and in fact every feature as
sCciated with operations of the state
farm.
DR.. Bitch has visited prisons in
seven states, and in his opinion no one
of them were even an approximation
of the state prison farm at Raiford
in any respect. There is not" said
the doctor, san institution in America
the superior of the prison farm in
sanitation, and not a penal institution
in existence where there is less fric-
ton; the whole prison population so
well satisfied"
The state, said the doctor, is for
tunate in having such men as Captain
Purvis, whose efficient management
has been responsible for the success
of the institution. DR.. S. E. DriskelI,
the recently appointed hospital sur
geon, is a skilled surgeon, diagnostic-
ian and practitioner. His manner and
kindness to prisoners is highly COM
mendable. Glenn Purvis, the book
keeper, never tires in an effort to sat
| isfy those who have prison matters in
his office, and it is said mistakes are
foreign to him. The doctor said he
agreed with Governor Cats in pro-
Inouncing it the neatest, best manag-
| ed and sanitary state institution.
The following is a memorandum of
field crops at the farm and other ac-
Invites. The farm has 1880 acres in
corn, 800 acres in velvet beans, 65
acres in sugar cane, 80 acres in Jap
anese cane, IT'S acres in sweet pota-
toes, 100 acres in Irish potatoes, 30
acres in rice, 80 acres in sorghum,
100 acres in cotton, 10 acres in vege-
tables, % acres in watermelons, 200
acres in field peas, $50 acres in pea
nuts, besides two 150-ton silos filled
and two more of like capacity soon to
be filled, 50 horses, 81 mules, 1880
hogs and $50 cattle.

furnish chaplains for the army unless
they are allowed to reserve these
from the firing linel Which is true!
From the medical faculty of famous
university comes the plea that the
supply of surgeons Is inadequate
unless the medical students are ex-
empt from the call, the army will be
deprived of an essential feature of its
existence; an army of a million men
will offer $4,000 sick to the care of
physicians for whom the surgeons
must not be taken from the wounded!
Married men must not be taken from
the women and childreni Farmer boys
must be exempt, because food is as
necessary as ammunition TO the fight
ing force! The army of transporta-
ton must not be broken down; the
trained men of business must be left
to guide affairs at homel
Nobody denies these propositions
the trouble is that one of them is as
good as another Grant one plea, and
all must be allowed; grant all, and
where can men for the firing line be
found? No matter who suffers-no
matter what sacrifices are made, we
need an army first. 1t is possible that
physicians and chaplains may be
found in the ranks-from the ranks
they were called to other service I'M
der the Confederacy. But just now
we are making an army, and that
must be created first, since we have
declared war-to this end all others
fare subordinate, and for the present
must be sent to the rear; argument is
now futile. Now we must fght-aft-
erwards we must hope to save our
selves as best we can.

WHO SHOULD BE EXEMPT /?
Times-U nion)

1lmeS-OnlOn)
This nation has gone to war; it can
not be denied that it went to war will
lingly. War involves sacrifces-the
willingness to accept limitless sacri-
fees rather than accept defeat. The
soldier must be fit to perform a GER
tain service, and at his country's call
every fit man owes the debt of willing
service. These are axioms.
Why is it we now hear debate as to
the personality of those who must
make the sacrifices to give the ser
vice? Under other circumstances each
of these claims to exemption can be
supported by good reason and sound
argument, but if we accept all these
and act upon them, we can raise no
army, and we have declared war with
out an army with which to enforce the
will of the nation-we have made, as
our enemy declared in the beginning,
mere bluff! May we review some
of these claims?

All citizens who receive from 81 900
a year up should help pay the income
tax. The $1,000 a year man should
pay per cent and the million a year
man SO per cent. with proportionate
rates for those between.-Ocala Star.
You are right as to the thousand
dollar man but the million dollar fell
low is not put high enough. We need
a thousand dollars year and more in
order to get the necessaries for a
comfortable living, but no man needs
half million dollars annually for liv-
ing expenses. No one should be per-
mitted more than a comfortable liv-
ing, at least during the war period. IF
any man insists on more than this,
send him to the front.-Arcadia News.
The trouble about this is that if
you don't leave the million dollar man
la fair proportion of his income, he
will quit trying to make it. Then the
government will be out half million
and the people who help him spend
the rest will be out the other half a
million. Few people have read with
profit the story about killing the
goose which laid the golden egg.

The test case in which the child
labor law has been declared unconsti-
tutional by Federal Judge Boyd was
as follows: The injunction proceed
ings which resulted in Judge Boyd $
ruling were brought by Robert H..
Dagenhart and his sons, Reuben and
John, against the Fidelity Manufac-
turing Co, to prevent the company
from dismissing the two boys, min
ors, from the company's cotton mill
at Charlotte. The law prohibits the
employment of any child under IA
years of age in any factory, work
shop or cannery whose products are
to be shipped in interstate commerce
and requires that the working day of
children IA to Is years old shall not
be longer than hours. Reuben Dag
enhart is under Is and John Dagen-
hart under IA The father contended
he has a right to their wages until
they are q and that as the North
Carolina law allows II hours a day,
Reuben has a right to work more than
8 hours day, while John has right
to work in the mill although under
IA because the state law permits it.
Of course, Dagenhart is simply the
tool of the manufacturers. Amy father
with the spirit and principle that
should abide in man would be
ashamed to go into court with such a
lplea.

ingen as attorney general is not as
good as we wished but better than we
hoped for Mr.. Swearingen is not a
great lawyer, but he is industrious,
conscientious and will, we believe, do
what he believes to be his duty. He
was born and reared in Florida and
has worked his way up from an ap-
prentice in a blacksmith shop to the
position he now holds. He made
Jacksonville a good municipal judge
and good mayor, and we hope he
will make Florida a good attorney
general. If all Gov. Cats appoint
ments were as good as that of Swear
ingen, his administration would be a
success.

1t is said the Germans are trying
to instigate American negroes to re-
volt by promising them social equal
ity if Germany wins the war. The
ruling class of Germany does not
know what social equality is, and it
has far less consideration for the
social and civil rights of its common
people than the Americans have for
the negroes of this country. The feel
ing of the Germans toward negroes
is shown in the countries formerly
ruled by them in Africa, where they
have exterminated entire tribes and
made slaves of all the people they
have allowed to remain alive.
