It has been currently known OC
Maui for some months that the affairs
Of the company had been badly
shaken up by the withdrawal Of H. F.
Proctor, chief promoter Of the COM.
pany. who with c. B. Hall and J J
COrrell had entered into a contract TO
push the business on the mainland
for period of years on an even
division of profits basis. The con
Dany was organized and incorporated
last winter with capital Of $l5O,O0O,
all paid in, and with some 1925 share
holders, practically all Maui people.
Messrs. Proctor, Hall and Correll went
to the mainland last spring, but shOrt
ly after reaching there Proctor is al

Correll to swing it alone. They went
first to Seattle, but were delayed for
weeks in getting their paraphernaliG.

according to Mr.. Rosecrans, was feel
ing the effects Of the war boom less
than any other part of the United
States, and the weather was alSu

had been moved back to Denver again
and Messrs. Hall and Correll expected
to soon have things moving ahead
again.
Nothing Crooked
Il made it my business to run down

said Mr.. Rosecrans, and to that end
traced things back to their origin

bought are al! bonafide There is
nothing wrong except that Mr.. Proc.

BRITISH ACTION
ON SUGAR STIRS
JAMAICAN HOPES
Planters Feel That Intention
To Encourage Producer
Will Help Them

The recent action of the British
| government in advancing funds to
help the development of beet sugar
production in Great Britain, accord
| ing to the International Sugar Jour.
nal, has served to stimulate the sugar
plants of the British West Indies to
| renewed efforts for a further expan.
sion of the British West Indian sugar
industry. The securing of government
aid has long been agitated as the only
means of restoring the once flourish
ing sugar industry of British West
Indies to something like its former
prosperity, says Facts About Sugar
Interest Strong in Jamaica
Particularly in Jamaica, where thu
planters have been struggling to main
tain the industry in the face of eighty
years of chronic depression, the &C
ton of the home government has been
received as a very hopeful sign, &C
cording to advlces received in Lon
don. 1t is felt that if the policy OF
encouraging the production Of a sup
ply of sugar sufficient for British
needs within the empire is to be
adopted, the West Indies colonies
should be among the first to benefit
by it, since it has been demonstrated
in the past that they are admirably
adapted to cane growing.
This, however. is not the only re-
cent development which has served t.
revive the Jamaican planters hopes.
The International Sugar Journal also
point sout that the government of the
colony itself has under consideration
plan for encouraging the revival of
the industry by advancing assistance
for the erection of central sugar fac
tories. The plan is being advanced
with the strong support Of Sir Francis
Watts, imperial commissioner of ayr.
culture for the West Indies, who has
been touring the island and meeting
the planters Of the various parishes
with a view to ascertaining the posi-
bllities OF such a scheme.

up against it, but are still game. They

Mr.. Rosecrans states that he did not
see Proctor during his trip and does
not know where ne is at the present
time. In leaving the company, how
ever, Proctor simply violated his con-
tract, Rosecrans says, because the
contract was made Unacceptable, and
Proctor could not sell it.

CLOTHES AND CLOTHES

lOud., IHtIC dlC o"p Iuhou
mental ways Of buying a suit Of
clothes.
The first is to go to one Of Col
ville's clothiers and pick out a
suit that suits you, or see Col
vile tailor and have him fashion
one to your form.
The second is to look in a cata-
log; make selection from a tiny
piece of cloth the design of which
you have to guess at; bother
some member of the family to
take your measure; write let
ter; enclose cash with same, then
wait ten to twenty days for the
suit.
For convenience, which is the
better way9
Buy it in the home town, isn't
itq
Let us analyze the case from
another angle-that of satisfao-
ton.
The Colville merchants carry
"price" clothing-as cheap as the
i. L
They also carry standardized
advertised clothes which run no
higher in price than supposedly
good mail order clothes.
Standardized advertised brands
of clothing begin at SIT. They
are superior to mail order clothes
because they fit right, look right
and stay right throughout their
life. Artists fashion them. Mas
ter craftsmen build them. They
must be right in every way to
stand up under the spotlight of
publicity.
You buy them right here i'll
Colville. The merchant who sells
them is right here. He gladly
and willingly guarantees them in
every way and to the limit.
Why should anyone's money
leave COlville for suit of clothes?
An also great exposition of
great value is furnished by Col
vile tailOrs. Their stocks of
woolens are representative among
the best obtainable. Workman
ship which they put into a suit
of clothes is first class. In short,
clothes tailored in ColvilIe are
right.
Isn't it folly to short change
Colville so many more dollars by
sending to mail order house for
an inferior tailor made suit?
Here's the way the mail order
house treated one man.
He sent for a suit just after the
first of the year. They were out
of the cloth he picked; but they
didn t want to let 60 Of his money,
so substituted another. The suit
they sent was inappropriate. SO
he returned it-asked that they
make up blue serge in its stead.
This they did-using am inferior
grade Of serge. When the suit
arrived it was found to have been
cut for very round -shouldered
man; and one shoulder was way
lower than the other.
The suit had to be returned for
alteration. A bungling job
Seven weeks were spent in wait
ing for the suit. The cost of the
suit was $26.10.
The man who sent for it said
the other day that the ill-appear-
ance of the suit bothered him con-
tinually, and that he had wished
on numerous occasions that he
had gone into one of Colville s
stores-spent 500 and received
regular suit.
Isn't it particularly inconsis-
tent to send to a mail order house
for suit Of clothes when equal
or better value can be obtained
from COlville merchants and
tailors?

TO THE BOTTOM

British and French. 1t was good
enough for the Germans, too; they
were trying to get hold of it after
Croziers hostility had driven Lewis
to a European market, and it was
a providential accident that the
Colonel discovered his Belgian COM
pany to be a German one in dis
guise. OF course we want our men
to have the best; but what is the
best if not the Lewis gun? Accord
ing to General Crozier, it is the
Browning gun. The Browning gun
is a perfectly good gun on paper, but
nobody knows from experience in
BATTLE how it would work. Every
body knows how the Lewis gun
works, for it is working now over
in France.
Granted, however, that the
Browning gun is not only good
gun on paper, but the proved SUI
perior of the Lewis gun in action
which it is MOTT remains true that
it will be absolutely worthless if it
cannot be made in time to put in the
hands of our men. On this point
Colonel Lewis said:
"I say that there is no such thing
as a Browning gun, and it will not
be developed in ten months. They
will not turn out a Browning gun
from any factory in America in ten
months from to-day"
But Colonel Lewis is an interest
ed witness, rival inventor, embit-
tered too by long course of per-
secution, insolence and bureaucratic
mightiness. Very we'll; we do not
have to take his word. Investigate
it; but investigate it to the very
bottom. There is no excuse and
there will be no tolerance for half
measures. The American people
have been stirred by the suspicion
that a disaster in war has been in
vited through bureaucratic pride of
opinion and dilatoriness of method.
Until that suspicion is laid there
will be no patience with perfume
tory inquiry. We do not have to
take Lewis word; but he has point
ed to enough strange and unex-
planned things. to enough mysteries,
to enough suspicious circumstances,
not only to warrant but to compel
the most searching inquiry that can
be made. The digging should be
done not with a trowel but with a
spade.

BISMARCK AND CAVOUR

At nearly the same date the world
beheld an empire of Germany and a
kingdom of Italy reviving the old
glories of distant past and giving
national character and q national
spirit to millions who had long cher
ished a common language and COM
mon habits of life.
Two great statesment were fore
most in the achievement of that
splendid historical result. Bismarck
in Germany, Cavour in Italy. Both
were men of the highest genius, of
wide insight, of profound diplomat
ic skill and of indisputable patriot
ism. But their aims were totally
different. Bismarck had no faith in
the people and sought to make an
absolute empire on the medieval
model of fixed classes, each working
in it's sphere for the good of the
state, and the whole eliminating in
a God appointed, God supported
monarchy. Cavour, although he be-
lieved it best to retain the monarch
ial form, worked from the begin
ming to establish thoroughly mod
should be essentially of the people,
by the people and for the people.
Bismarck summed up his theory of
government in the celebrated phrase
that power must be sustained "by
blood and iron" Cavour said of
himself in phrase far more deserv-
ing of celebrity, "I am the child of
liberty. and to liberty 1 owe all that
1 am." The hearts of modern Ger
many and modern Italy are distilled
in those two sayings of their great
est sons. and we can see today what
different results are produced by
different teachings.-From the
