MAUI LEADS in
. FOOD CAMP Align

In country wide, general interest it
would seem that Maui is taking the
lead in the food saving and produc.
ton campaign. Dr..A. L. Dean, execu
tive officer Of the food commission,
who returned Monday from the Val
ley Island, reports that there are
about 1000 children enlisted In the big
garden contest, conducted under di.
rection Of L. r. Mathews and under
auspices Of the Maui County Fair &
Racing Association.
DR.. Dean addressed a special meet
ing OF the Fair and Racing Associa.
tion at Waikiki Friday. That the
women are actively interested in the
food question was shown by their at
tendance in considerable number at
this gathering.
In the Kula district of Maui the ter
ritorial official found large areas
planted to field corn. In fact he saw
almost every variety Of crop that can
be grown In temperate zone.
DIR. Dean was informed that q ship
ment of yellow Bermuda onions viii
be sent to the territorial marketing
division In Honolulu from Kula this
week. He examined some Of these
onions and says they are as good as
any he has seen In the territory.

.lO-CENI CHECK
Sent COL. irons

Postmaster D. H. MacAdam yester.
day mailed check for 10 cents to Col
James A. Irons, post commander at
Fort Shafter. - ...c-
Az an instance of the painstaking
care exercised by the postal service
In handling mail, the postmaster to-
day told the following story about
the check: ~
The treasury department had a
communication to make to Col. James
A. Irons, then attache at the American
embassy In Toxic. Il put the commu-
nication into treasury penalty enve-
lope, which haslno stamps, and mailed
1t to him. The postoffice department
erred In accepting the stampless let
ter for transmission to Toxic.
Col. Irons at about that time was
transferred to Fort Shafter; to become
post commander. For the service of
forwarding the treasury letter to the
colonel the Toxic postoffice assessed
q double rate to Honolulu, affixing q
10-cent postage due stamp to It.
Col Irons protested against paying
the postage due, as he said he was
not responsible for the mistake made
In Washington. He paid, however.
Postmaster MacAdam referred the
case to Washington, and by special
authorization from the third assistant
postmaster general is now sending the
colonel check for the disputed
amount. III. --

But II there Is any economizing to

sfders 1T important how he looks 80
so that he Is moderately clean and has

Johnny sets just as much store upon
having just the right bag to his knick
ers, or as -razor-edged a crease in his
trousers as sister does to the set Of
her skirt, and that he is just as sensi-
tive to the boys comment on his ties
as she Is to the girls on her sleeves.
Worse still, the small boy is utterly
neglected in regard to the important
matters that are going to count big
in his after life. Mother prepares sis
ter for society, for making a good ap'
pearance in this world. She is taught
how to approach people, how to enter
and leave a room, and what to say.
But no one bothers to teach Johnny
that. II Is taken for granted that he
is a hopeless savage because he is a
boy, and so no one drills him in the
incest of life. The result is that little
girls nearly always have good man

by the grace II God, and through his
parents fault, into a fine courteous
gentleman.
Worst still, 90 far as the treatment
accorded boys goes, Is the fact that
no one seems to realize that a small
boy Is the most sensitive creature on
earth, and the most hungry hearted.
He writhes under riducule as under
torture, yet his callous family have no
hesitation in calling public attention to
his faults and blunders, and making his
mistakes the nail on which they hang
the funny stories they tell to guests.
That's why boys spring up in them
selves and hide what really think and
feel. so completely that their parents
know less Of them than they do Of any
stranger that crosses their path.
And the small boy just aches to be
petted, to be caressed, to be talked to,
and sympathized with, and understood,
and praised. And he so seldom gets
even a kind word. It's his fault he
hears about so often that it is no wond
er that one small boy, when asked
what was his narae, sai0 that he didn't
knoW-that II was either Johnny Don't
or Johnny Run-he was called one
about as often as tle other.
The Japanese set apart a day to
honor the small boy, exclusively and
individually. The japanese small boy
is courteous, kindly, gentle and con-
siderate Of others. He doesn't even
yell like a Comanche when he plays
football, and you never see him in a
street fight. Perhaps he is polite be-
cause he is treated politely.
Let's follow the Japanese custom Of
honoring the small boy and see il we
can't civilize the American small boy
too. =

CROP EDUCATION
DIFFICULT TASK

Reports received from the food
commissions county agents on all
islands indicate that the task OF
teaching practical, profitable agricul.
ture to considerable portion OF the
small farmers Is going TO be q long,
hard task.
Growers Of foreign nationalities in
q great many instances are not TAX
ing readily to verbal advice concern
ing methods of planting, pest control,
cultivation and harvesting. Very
often, when the agent approaches one
of these whose potatoes are sere vel.
low from blight, and tells him that
he will give him spray that will
make the plants green and give him
greater yield, the grower just grins
self-consciously and intimates that he
doesn't need assistance.
As q result, the agents are prepar-
ing to establish demonstration fields
in the different communities, where
different varieties Of staple crops will
be grown by modern methods and the
improvement over old systems can be
definitely proved.
In several instances the agents have
discovered some Of the most primitive
farming systems In use. Women have
been found digging up potatoes with
blunt sticks: farmers have been seen
Smelling corn by hand for the market.
The agents in such cases are obtain.
ing practical farming implements,
placing them In the hands Of the
growers and teaching them the use
Of the utensils.
This is q matter Of real importance
IN the islands today, when labor Is
scarce and at q premium. Smelling

woman can do the same job in one.

HOW TO TREAT AMARYLLIS

As soon as amaryllis bulbs come
from the dealers they should be placed
In damp moss and kept near a window
In temperature Of about 60 degrees.
They should be watched with care un-
til growth starts, then they should be
potted, using six-inch pots for the av-
erage bulbs.
A turfy loan. enriched with some
well-rotted manure. makes the best
soil to be used. To this there ought to
be added some sand for the purpose
Of insuring drainage and to prevent
the backing of the soil. The major
portion Of the bulb ought to be above
the top Of the soil.
After the bulbs have been first pot
ted they should be given q little water
merely enough to prevent the soil
from drying out. The pots should be
placed In sunny room, near a win
dow. As the plant progresses, the sup
ply Of water should be increased.

A vigorous prosecution of the cam
paign for equitable freight rates and
transportation rates for Colorado,
started by the Colorado Fair Freight
Rates Association and now being
pushed by the association in co-opera-
tion with the State Public Utilities

made.
As his conclusion Gov. Carlson said

House: my parting word is that you
cooperate with your incoming gov
