Scout Headquarters would like to
know the troops that are working
gardens, the location. and in a gen
eral way what is being raised. Scout
masters are also urged to get pictures
Of the scouts planting and working
the soil.
Application blanks for the berry
picking excursion may be had at the
headquarters. These should be turned
in as soon as possible to make this
work effective.
Troops who have not received their
troop record books may get them at
any time from the Office. These con-

records and should be owned by each
troop.
Scouts turn out strong for the big
hike Saturday. Great things in store
for all who attend
At the last Scoutmasters' Associa-
ton meeting there was a motion made
to the effect that at the end of the
expiration of a troops registration If
the scoutmaster had not sent in IS
per cent. of his monthly reports com
mission as scoutmaster would not be
granted for that troop. These records
should be sent in promptly each
month. BY withholding them you are
doing an injustice to your troop. The
Scribe can do this work If the scout
master does not have time to make
them out.
A change in Scoutmaster w. L.
Bickings work has made it necessary
to give up the active work of his
troop. He will, however, hold the
Deputy Commissioner commission for

greater opportunity to supervise the

will take over Troop 8.

cause she was in extreme distress?
An unofficial rumor states that such
a message was received by the naval
authorities, while official denial is

maintained as to questions regarding
TIE ship
i he report started shortly after the
public alton Of the statement that the
steamer Paloona had steered clear Of

swered the description of the MAYER

ship was said to have occurred 1890
miles from Honolulu between here and
San Francisco.
Other navigators have reported botn
here and on the mainland as having
seen strange acting vessel which
they thought to be the Maverick. 1t
Is also reported in shipping circles
that navigators have been warned to
be wary OF approaching any ship an
swering her description and not to be
led into a trap by going to the sup
posed rescue of shipwrecked persons.
One Of the methods which it Is said
was used by German raiders to trap
unsuspecting navigators was to send
up signals from RATS cast adrift near,
but off the regular steamer course be-
! tween here and San Francisco.
II the Maverick is still afloat, as
some are inclined to believe, there Is
little doubt that she has been used for
some illegal means since leaving Ba-
tavia, Java, in August, or she would,
long before this, have been authentic.
| ally reported.
One theory Is that either willfully
or accidentally she has fallen into the
hands Of the 81 German raiders from
the Seeadler, who lett Mopeha Island
in the French bark Lutece early in
September. Nothing has ever been
heard Of these raiders since they were
seen to depart by Captain Halbor
Smith of the R. c. Slade. AS the bark
was old and far from weather proof, it
was believed they would have to Sc
cure another vessel before they could
continue their operations or succeed
In getting to Java to intern.
Many shipping men. however, be-
lieve that the Maverick was sunk in
the typhoon which nearly sent the
transport Thomas to the bottom. Ac-
cording to the officers Of a Dutch
steamer recently in port, the Maverick
left Batavia with an American in com.
mand. but had a number Of Hollanders
az assistant officers and members Of
her crew. The Maverick cleared for
New Orleans when she left Java four
months ago.
The only recent reports of shipping
losses IN the Pacific come from near
the Australian coast where two big
freighters are said to have been de-
stroyed by mines.

WAR DECLARED ON
RATS By u. S. GOVT.

The government at Washington Is
preparing a campaign that should be
effective in killing the rats that are
so destructive both to lives and prop
erty. A conservative estimate places
the loss of foodstuffs from rats at
over two hundred million dollars an
nually, and in the present scarcity of
food, this loss must be prevented The
most efficient way to Kill the Rat" is
by the use Of Stearns' Paste, and
thousands of dollars worth have been
bought by the government. Every
housekeeper troubled with rats, mice,
reaches or waterbugs should buy a
small box Of this reliable exterminator
for thirty-five cents and stop further

NOBOC4A OSAG-OUG0S4o SOE1ooDouu1ACOSI
HILO, Dec. 22.-That the American
Hawaiian line of steamships has gone
completely out of business as far as
sugar carrying from these islands is
concerned is evident now that the
Texan and Mexican, the only two
boats left in the island trade, have
been taken over for war purposes.
The sugar industry seems in line for
big bump just now, and it is hard to
figure just low six hundred thousand
tons of sugar can be shipped from .Ha-
wait during the next twelve months.
That many larger warehouses will
have to be built and that a big loss
through the deterioration of the sugar
while in storage will have to be faced
Is the opinion Of those who know con-
ditions. That the cost for bags will
also become excessive If the sugar be
kept for a long time in storage in
these islands prior to shipment is an
other factor.
1t has been said by some people that
II the shipping board had said to the
American-Hawaiian Steamship Com
papy, I'VE will take twenty or 80 Of
your vessels and leave three of the
largest and fastest for the Hawaiian
trade" all would have been we'll. Tor
three of the largest All. steamers
could maintain a fourteen-day SEIZED
ule between the coast and Hawaii and
could have handled o'' sugar crop
of 1918. These vessels, on a fourteen
day schedule, could also have brought
freight to these islands, thus relieving
a terribly congested condition.
