"Pruvided the Matscn vessels or an
equal tonnage moving capacity is
maintained on the San Francisco
Hawaii run for the moving OF our
food exports there will be suffiCien
space for bringing down all Of r.
supplies necessary for producing
these foods, with the exception OF
fuel Oil and part of the gasoline and
diStillate. which commodities now
come in tankers.
There seems to be fear that We are
going TO have shortage of fuel oil.
We understand that this matter has
already been drawn to your attention
by our delegate to Congress, Honor
abue J. X. Kalanianaole, and will only
say that a considerable part of the
sugar produced here is dependent on
water pumped by fuel oil, the rail
road systems of the four sugar pro-
ducing islands run on oil. as do the
electric light and gas plants of Homo
lulu and practically all of the power
plants In the islands except the sugar
mills themselves, which burn ba-
gasse. Even the bakeries use fuel
oil and our commission has been
obliged to request the oil companies
to keep them going.
Must Have Fuel Oil
A failure of our fuel oil supply
FURNISHED by the Standard Oil Co.,
the Associated Oil Co. and the Union
Oil Co., all of California; would short.
ly paralyze our industries. Coal is
not available as substitute and ouI
wood supply is too limited to begin
to fill the gap and the destruction of
our native forests and watersheds for
any purpose would be an irredeem.
able crime.
our commission has no specific
power under the act of the Legisla-
ture, except as implied in its effect
on food control, over oil, gasoline, ETC.,
but it looks as If this oil situation
would need control, and there is room
for considerable economy here in
the use and misuse of gasoline.
There are between 1000 and so.
600 tons of fertilizer used by the SUI
gar plantations each yeer, fully $4,000
tons OF which are nitrates from Chill.
Without the use of fertilizers the PRO-
duction of sugar would be increased
fully 80 per cent.
In conclusion we would say that
our Women's Committee for the con-
servation of foods, which is now or
ganized on all of the islands, is doing
good work
In beef we have not yet concluded
our investigations, but we are in.
clined to think that we shall either be
self-supporting, or that by economy
and meatless days we can make our.
selves so. This will depend, how
ever, largely upon the number OF
troops quartered here and on weather
conditions on the ranches.
We also enclose a copy of as COM
plete and accurate census as we
have been able to secure of food sup
plies, not counting sugar and canned
pineapple, in hands of wholesale and
retail dealers as of June 30th, 1917,

Cut Down InportatIons
This food commission is endeavor-
ing TO cut down the need Of these food
importations by stimulating the pro,
duction of some OF these commodities
here, by Increasing the use Of home
grown foods and by reducing the use
of white flour, as we'll as the general
disbursement Of waste. We have
however, from the beginning taken the
ground that Hawaii's main function in
this crisis is the production OF sugar
end that our duty was to increase the
local food supply as much as we could

food output rather than to divert Ia
Dor or land now productivity engaged
&c other and less productive and more
hazardous forms OF agriculture.
1--WE cannot in this space go into
land matters farther than to say that
the accessible lands. lands near rail-
roads, harbors or good roads are al
most all in productive use, and while
there are considerable remote areas in
the mountain sizes which, were labor
available, could produce corn, pota.
toes, etc., yet on account of transpor-
tation difficulties and costs are from
an economic standpoint far more dis
tant from Honolulu and our other
small centers of population than the
Sacramento valley.
"In spite of the difficulties, however,
a noteworthy increase in the produc.
ton of corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes
and onions is taking place, as well as
a healthy increase in the amount OF
beans and other garden produce grown
by plantation laborers and school
children and by householders for their
own use. Our county agents are do.

Fifteen and half million dollars is
the total of National Bank resources
of the United States on November 18th

lion dollars in the last two years. TIE
total has doubled in the last ten years.
Now add four and half billion dol

and five and half billions more in
the savings banks of the country, and
our total bank resources amount to
more than 26 billion dollars.
And the South shares in this wealth.
The resources Of our southern nation
al banks run ahead of the total for
the New England and Eastern States,
including such financial centers as
Boston, New York, Philadelphia. and
Pittsburgh. Our per cent of increase
between September IL and November
II of last year was greater than that
of any other group of states in the
Union. 1t was 1898 per cent. against
1859 per cent in the country at large.

one Socialist voting against it.
During the debate which was IN
progress internationally for about
week, various provisions proposed as
a result of the submarine crisis were
added to the measure. Because Of
governments difficulty in placing con-
tracts for warships, authorized last
year, an amendment asked for by
Secretary Daniels providing an addl-
t1onal $12,O00,0O0 for equipping navy
yards for construction was inserted.

fear of this country being drawn into
a world war. besides the already high
cost of living, Hendersonville citizens
are wearing smile and in many cases
they are convinced business is good.
The recent cold weather is thought
by many of the farmers to be good
sign for the greatest crops ever pro-
duced in the county.
There is a persistant hope by few
that the county commissioners will
yet decide to employ a farm demon
strator, who is under the direction of
the government to aid in the cu1tiva-
ton of the farms this spring. State
Agent Millsaps stated a few weeks ago
that he had a fine man in view whom
he thought would be suitable for this

Mr.. w. L. McFall lives at Rugby, i'll

little summer cottage. Consequently
I speak from personal knowledge.

why it would not eat, tried to open its

But one of it's mad spells came on,
and before the mother could rescue
them, two OF the children were bitten.
1t also snapped at the mother, bare

The dog was killed and the children
sent to Raleigh for treatment. Some
of the cattle developed rabies, and all

The Habit Of Taking Cold.

With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that is easily
broken. Take cold sponge bath
every morning when you first get out
of bed-not ice cold, but a tempature
of about 80 degrees F. Also sleep with
your window up. Do this and you will
seldom take cold. When you do take
cold take ChamberIain's Cough Rem

sible. Obtainable everywhere. 5slz.r 3
