RIVER ST. LAND
SOLD; BUILDING !. | I|||i j.
TO Be ERECIE |

T.. Two real estate transactions involy-
ing business property in Honolulu, the
tot cnnsid6 ian = for which was
sac. 900. have been completed through
the Bishop Trust Company. One
amounting to $20, 1000 was a. lot on the
nauka side Of King street: eva OF
Kekaulike street, owned by T. G.
Wills, which was sold to Lee Let and
the other Is the lot at the corner of
Pauahi and River street which was
sold by w. Wolters to A. Hooking for
$4,000. T.,
The former has been leased for
many years to Lee Let, who owns the
Eailding on the site in which are sew
efal Oriental stores, including the
Market Sporting Goods Company and
uum Tai Kee. The lot has frontage
OF 102 feet and contains 1884 square
feet. The lease of the property is
said to be worth $50, 200 for the ex-
piration Of the contract.
The River street property comprises
II, sos square feet. There is no build
ing on the land now but Hooking IN
tends at once to erect q fireproof two
story building for store purposes. 1t
Is the only unimproved property on
River street.
The sale Of these two lots brings to
mind the big fire which wiped out the
entire Oriental section, following
which the land was leased to Chinese,
at low figures and for that reason It
has been difficult to sell the land
where the leases have many more
years to run.

CAMPAIGN FOR CASH FOR
WAR CHEST REACHES
FINAL CLOSE.
FINE WORK HERE
Local COMMITTEES Labored In
tiringly, and Result 10 Deem
ed Satisfactory.

Saturday marked the close Of the
second Liberty Loan campaign and,
according to figures furnished by Mr..
Parker Reeves, chairman Of the gen
eral committee for Lowndes county,
this county subscribed 1921 500 to the
fund. While the allotment made by
the Federal Reserve Board. which was
100000, was not quite reached, il is
believed that the result attained, when
conditions are considered, reflects
credit upon the county Crop eondi-
tions here are not good, nor have they
been up to the average for many years
past, and for this reason, people were
not in a position to subscribe as liber-
ally as they would have done had
prosperity been more abundant.
The campaign was most vigorously
waged. Mr. Reeves, as well as his as
sociates on the committee, who were
Capt. 7. H. Sharp, Messrs. C. II.
Ayres, z, C. Chapman and Ira L.
Castor, worked untiringly and were
rendered valuable assistance by the
ladies of the county Mrs. II. F.
Simral, as chairman of the ladies
committee for the county, and Mrs.
s. B. Street. Jr., as the head of the
city committee, made every effort to
arouse interest in the loans and sue
eeeded in obtaining numerous sub
scriptlons. The local Boy Scouts also
rendered valuable assistance in the
work.
The subscriptions were handled By
the six different county banks, which
turned in amounts as follows. Mer-
chants and Farmers Bank 500, 800:
First State Bank s59,350; Columbus
National Bank, $4,000; National

PRESIDENT NAMES
DAY OF PRAYER
WILSON ISSUES PROCLAMATION
URGING PEOPLE OF UNITED
STATES TO PRAY.

The following proclamation has
been issued by President Wilson
naming this Sunday, October %, as
a day of prayer:
Whereas, The Congress of the
United States by concurrent reso-
luton adopted on the fourth day of
the present month of October, in view
of the entrance of our nation into
the vast and awful war which now
afflicts the greater part of the world,
has requested me to set apart by Of
fetal proclamation a day upon which
our people should be called upon to
offer concerted prayer to Almighty
God for His divine aid in the success
es of our arms; and,
Whereas, 1t behooves a great free
people, nurtured as we have been in
the eternal principles of justice and
of right, a nation which has sought
from the earliest days of its existence
to be obedient to the Divine teach
ings which have inspired it in the ex-
ercise of its liberties, to turn always
to the supreme Master and cast Them
selves in faith at His feet, praying
for His aid and succor in every hour
of trial, to the end that the great
aims to which our fathers dedicated
our power as people may not perish
among men, but be always asserted,
and defended, with fresh ardor and
devotion, and, through the divine
blessing set forth at last upon endur-
ing foundations for the benefit of all
the free peoples of the earth.
Now, therefore, |, Woodrow Will
son, President of the United States,
gladly responding to the wish ex-
pressed by the Congress, do appoint
October 2S, being the last Sunday OF
the present month, as day of suppli-
cation and prayer for all the people
of the Nation, honestly exhorting all
my countrymen to oberve the ap-
pointed day, according TO their sew
eral faiths, in solemn prayer that
Gods blessings may rest upon the
high task which is laid upon US, to the
end that the cause or which we give
our lives and treasure may triumph
and our efforts be blessed with high
achievement.
