CQ|yCERT TICKETS
NGREAT DEMAND

Practically the entire main floor of
the opera house was sold out this al
ternoon for the Moss-Lewers concert
not quite two days after the tickets
were put on sale, and while there
are stfIl odd seats here and there
in addition to the balcony. there Is
every prospect that these two artists
win FIJI the historic old theater.
Few OF the many entertainments
that have been given in the opera
house have had the proved attraction
of next Mondays affair. !, Mr.. Moss
and Mr.. Levers are completing their
preparation for the "Enoch Arden"
of Richard Strauss and Alfred Ten.

of the prosram This classic of two

of Britain's greatest poets and by

liabilities OF any artist -.
II is doubtful, even then, whether
two more capable of interpreting it
could be found than Mr.. Moss as
pianist and Mr. Levers as the reader,
and SO far from the effort being that

who have devoted 70 II the study and

The concert has few precedents in
Honolulu and there is every assurance
that its memory will linger for many
seasons.

Roads Help the Consumer

Better roads would save the ulti-
mate consumer in American cities
s28o,000,000 year, according to J.E.
Pennybacker, highway economist in
the United States office of good
roads. Mr.. Pennybacker explains
that public roads constitute the pri-
mary means of transportation for all
agricultural products, and for many
millions Of forest, mine and manu-
factured products. This annual haul
age amount to 35O,OOO,O0O tons, the
average haul being about eight miles.
According to this authority the
cost per ton Of primary haulino for
each mile is % cents, under present
conditions, while the COST per ton on
hard surfaced roads would not exceed
13 cents a mile. The good road saw
ing per ton on the average primary
haul would thus be $2s0,000,000 per
arfnun1. :.

A CORRECTION

Some time ago The Robesonian
made a statement to the effect that
the new road law provided that each
township should have spent within
it its proportionate part of the mon
ney raised by taxation for road pur-
poses. That statement was made up
on the positive assurance of a man
who We had every reason to believe
was thoroughly familiar with the law
and We were so confident that he
had his facts straight that we did
not take the time to investigate. We
find that that was an error and we
hasten to correct it. Much as we are
We would not Intentionally make a
misstatement or Intentionally mislead
any one, not if we know it would
carry the issue.
Section 13 provcides that "taxes so
collected may be expended for road
or bridge purposes in accordance with
this act as the same may be neces-
sary in any part of the county with
outrespect to the township or section
from which the taxes were derived,
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT. IN
EXTENDING THE RECEIPTS
FROM ROAD TAXES THE
ROAD COMMISSION SHALL DIS
BURSE THE SAME so THAT THE
PUBLIC ROADS AND BRIDGES IN
EACH OF THE DISTRICTS HERE
BY CREATED SHALL BE KEPT
IN AS GOOD CONDITION, so FAR
AS POSSIBLE, AS THE PUBLIC
ROADS AND BRIDGES ARE IN
THE OTHER DISTRICTS.
That is no doubt the section oul
informant has in mind and We have
no idea that he intended to misleac
US into making an Incorrect state
ment. 1t is no doubt the intention
of the law that each township shall
nave as as pro rata part of the tax mon.
ney, but it is not So stated, ard we
want to make that plain.
AS stated above, The Robesonia1
would not Intentionally publish al
incorrect statement about the roat
law or the bond issue even if it knew
that such statement would result il
bonds being voted We regret ex
ceedingly that this incorrect state
ment was made. we should hav
made our informant show US the sec
ton in order to make sure that hi
information was correct, but we ha
no reason to doubt it's CORRECTNESS:
We want to set any one right VIII
NAV have been mislead by this erro,
, For our own part we do not thin
it amounts to a great deal, fer th
provisions as to districts should ann
ly protect every township in this ma
ter; but others may see the matte
IN a different light and we hon, tt
above explanation is clear Wha
ever may have been the intention
the trainers of the law, it is nj
specified that each township sha
have it's pro rata part.

LEMONS BRING OUT
THE HIDDEN BEAUTY
Make this lotion for very little
cost and just see
for yourself.

What girl or woman hasn't heard
of lemon juice to remove complexion
blemishes; to bleach the skin and to
bring out the roses, the freshness and
the hidden beauty? But lemon juice
alone is acid, therefore irritating, and
should be mixed with orchard white
this way. Strain through a fine cloth
the juice Of two fresh lemons into a
bottle containing about three ounces
of orchard white, then shake well and
you have a whole quarter pint OF
skin and complexion lotion at about
the cost one usually pays for small
jar of ordinary cold cream. Be sure
to strain the lemon juice SO no pulp
gets into the bottle, then this lotion
will remain pure and fresh for
months. When applied daily to the
face, neck, arms and hands it Should
help to bleach, clear, smoother and
-beautify the skin.
Any druggist will supply three
ounces of orchard white at very little
cost and the grocer has the lemons.
