JAPANESE IS GIVEN
PINEAPPLE CONTRACT
Xato Will Cultivate Four Hundred
Acres

II. Kato, who has been represented by
Attorney Wade Warren Thayer, former
Secretary Of Hawaii, was awarded yes.
terday by the board of industrial
schools the contract to plant and cult,
vate approximately four hundred acres
Of land in pineapples for the Boys In
lustrial School at Waialee. ..... g. -,
Kato was one of three bidders for the
contract and his offer was accepted, as
It was deemed the most advantageous.
The board has had the proposition un
Ter consideration at several meetings
and only reached its decision yesterday.
The land was recently placed in
"harge of the Waialee Industrial School
by the Territory. 1t is situated at Wal
alec and is considered eminently well
fitted for the proposed cultivation.
Under the supervision of Superinten
lent Anderson Of the school, Kato will
plant and carry on the cultivation OF
the land. He will make use of all the
boys, paroled for the purpose, paying
the minimum daily wage of one dollar
and twenty cents and the maximum OF
one dollar and thirty cents. This
money will be paid to the superinten,
dent and placed in n fund from which
az each boy is released from the school
his share will be paid him. It is be
lieved that many boys win thus be
given a handsome start in life, once
they leave the school at Waialee.
In addition to the pay for the labor
of the boys, Kato undertakes to turn
over to the school twenty-one per cent
of the gross receipts from the sale OF
pineapples. This money will be placed
in special fund to assist in the main,
tcnance and support Of the institution.
The industrial school commissioners
have considered the project from many
angles, and they believe that they have
solved to large extent the question OF
maintaining the school, SO that in a
few years the institution win cease to
be burden to the taxpayers.

British dirplane defeated three Ger.
man machines was the sensational fen.
ture Yesterday of the fighting on the
Western front. ~
All along the bloody line the Teu.
tons met with defeat. Their airmen
were hurled dying to the earth, their
massed columns of infantry melted in
death under the fearful FIRE of British
machine guns and rifles, their trenches
were invaded by the triumphant Eng.
lishmen. g. III
North Of Arras, along the line of the
Donaia railway, the Germans made q
desperate effort to rush and storm the
British trenches. Leaping from their
Iown trenches, the Teutons charged in
the open against disastrous and with.
ering fire poured into their massed
ranks by the rifles and machine guns OF
the Tommies, They dropped like leaves
from tree and their charges melted
into terrified flight. rs.
West Of Hulluch the British raided
the trenches Of the Huns and took
large numbers Of prisoners. |
~ was here that there occurred one
Of the most spectacular air fights of the
war. One lone Briton, sailing at an
elevation Of 1900 feet, was attacked
by three German aeroplanes. Instead OF
running away, as he well might have
done under such circumstances, the
Englishman gave fight.
Directing upon them deadly rain
Of bullets from his Lewis machine gun
the Briton charged his foes CALAMITY
They opened up on, him with their ma.
chine guns, but so clever was his manip
ulation Of his machine that they were
unable to hit him. rs
The air of the Englishman, however
was better. Wheeling, darling, twist
ing and turning in the air and fighting
furiously all the time, he succeeded BY
clever maneuverihg in pumping q
stream of bullets into the gasoline
tanks of two Of his enemies. Flaming
like rockets, the Teuton machines hur
tied to the earth, 1000 feet below
The Englishman then turned his atten
ton to the remaining German, but the
latter had seen enough. He turned tai
and fed ignominiously, leaving the
Briton master of the air.

1T is a great treat to hear her sing.
Her voice is resonant, full of warmth,
admirably controlled, and of consid-
cradle range. Added to this she has
winning personality" The virtue
which adds much to Miss Kaiser
popularity as a concert singer is that
she is most gracious and generous
with her encores.
The music lovers of DEBORAH and

wonderful event and are looking
forward to Miss Kaiser's visit with
great pleasure.
