That was last FRIDAY at > o'clock III

similar dream. and that he woke ~
and told his wife about it. They went
out and sat together. and kAmakait
told his wife he would offer a prayer.
He told her to choose some part 0i
the Bible and, according t. his story,
she chose that part where the Lord
washed the feet Of the disciples.
And l interpreted that as meaning
that God desired that | wash my
hands of this whole affair, continued
Kamakaia, so l came to town Satur'
day and told the truth.
The truth" he refers to was the
affidavit in which he declared he did
not sign the alleged 1917 will in the
presence Of the queen, but at his own
home, and a. the request of Theresa.
You have never spoken about this
will to Kuhio or Iaukea or Attorney
Lightfoot or any of the attorneys for
the other side?" an attorney asked.

IF you had not had this dream, then
you we're going to testify in court"
Yes"
Colburn resumed the examination
at this point:
Before you signed the affidavit two

queen, do you remember that | eau

Yes, you did"
and I asked you questions which
you understood"
Some questions. You are not quite
q Hawaiian scholar"
But you understood the affidavit"
whatever l said it was all taught
me by Mrs. Wilcox. They were not

Kamakaia was then asked if he re
| membered which woman stenographel
was present, and said he did not
know.
"My eyes are restricted from gazing
on other women-whether Hawaiian
or white" he told Colburn.
He said he had been married three
times and that his first wife was al
aunt of Delegate Kuhio.

Farm machinery this year is

every day and getting harder to

The Reason
for Toll Charges

Less than one-fourth Of our
subscribers make three
fourths Of all the long dis
lance telephone calls.
The long distance lines
are used only occasionally by
the large majority Of tele-
phone subscribers.
For this reason q charge is
made for each long distance
call rather than cover the ex-
penss Of providing this serv.
ice by increasing the local
telephone rates.
It would be very conven.
lent not to have to pay extra
to talk to neighboring towns.
II we gave free long dis
lance service, however, it
would mean that all tele-
phone subscribers would pay
the cost Of maintaining the
long distance lines which are
used generally by only a few.

least to fifty dollars a year for
every family in America. t.
waste of a single ounce of food
each day in every home means a
yearly waste Of nearly 500 millions
pounds of food. The waste of d
single slice of bread each day in
every home means the daily waste
Of a million loaves of bread. The
thousand million dollars Of need
less waste which thus takes place
yearly in the households Of Ameri-
ca can and should be stopped.
The ways of thrifty living are
not new. In order to practice them
We need no little more than return
to the frugal habits of the earlier
days. To purchase wisely: to lose
nothing for lack Of proper care: t ,
serve no more than hunger de-
mands: to serve again the unused
| portion: to preserve in time of
plenty against the lean months
ahead: to save wheat for France
and England by eating more corn
ourselves. because they do not bak:,
at home. and corn bread is I'm.
/ known: these are some of the
means Of helping to save the waste
and win the war l suggest them in
cooperation with the L. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture, to which. as
we'll as to the County Agricultural
Agents, the Home Demonstration
Agents in the cities, and the State
Agricultural College, inquiry may
profitably be made for printed and
written advice about saving food.
will YOU join in the good work
Of saving more food for the women
and children of Belgium, the or
phans of France. the men in the
trenches who are fighting our bat.
ties, and for the people of the
United States? ask that You will
preach on the Conservation OF
Food on Sunday. July first, day
which l hope will become known
as Food Saving Day. Make that
day notable one in the history of
Your church. To that end l sug.
gest that YOU bring about co-opera.
ton with appropriate religious OF
covic bodies. and especially with
the women of your own congrega.
ton.
;. THE women of America have
never failed to answer such a call
as comes to them now. The saving
Of food is within their sphere
, Without food conservation we can.
not win the war. The woman who
conserves the food supply of Am
erica and her Allies renders a
high service to her country and to
all humanity as well. In very truth
the outcome of the world war is
in the hands of the women no less
than in the hands of the men.
}, "Will You also furnish in ad-
vance an abstract or copy of your
!. sermon to the newspaper editors of
Your locality. to whom l am writ.
ing to ask special consideration for
it.
Again I ask for your co-opera-
ton. Let us work together in whole
hearted response to the patriotic
duty to which we are called. Let lis
make it the purpose and the motto
OF every household in America to
Save the Waste and Win the War.
