Some Pointers About
Postage. Rates Under
the New Regulations

The following is copied from the in
structions of the third assistant post
master at Washington issued to all
Ipostmasters, to assist them in figuring
out the postage ON post cards and pri-
vate mailing cards The layman in post
office affairs may wonder where he
gets off after reading the following
but the man in the post office is sup
posed to figure it out without trouble.
Here are the instructions wodd for
word:
"Private cards or private mailing
cards, which ~include all cards not ex-
ceeding in size approximately GIG
by GIG inches nor less than approx
imately 3-4 by 4 inches, will also be
subject 70 two cents postage each,
whether they bear written or printed
matter. All cards bearing the words
post card or "private mailing
card which are not within the size
set forth shall be charged two cents
postage each if in print, or thfee cents
if wholly or partly in writing, but the
rate OF postage or printed advertising
cards or card containing printed cir
cular matter which do not bear the
words 'post card" or "private mail
ing card and do not come within the
size prescribed for post cards is not
affected, such printed cards being sub
Jeet to postage at the third class
rate -
There you have it. 1t is now up to
the layman to figure out just what to
do about post cards, postal cards and
mailing cards with or without some
or writing on them. It's easy.

And "Right away, SIR"

The boss.
Had an idea.
He was being kidded.
And said
."l$l-&" &-*l!*&**l"
And Harold said.
"Nor, sir.
81 can t help it. \
My voice is changing"
And anyway.
Always after that.
The boss hated him.
And then one day.
A band went by.
With "Over There.

And we all looked out.
And marching troops.
On the street below.
Filled all our hearts.
With whatever it is.
That cover There. -
And our marching troops.
Put into our hearts.
And filled our eyes.
And we all went back.
To our work-a-day desks.
And the next day came.
And Harold came.
And whispered to me.
He was going to quit.
And called the boss.

War Conditions
Discounted
In Sugar Stocks
Declines From Top Prices Of Last
: Year Are Sufficient To Warrant
Assertion That Prices Are Ad-
iusted To New Circumstances

For months past investors in Homo.
lulu have been steadily discounting the
probability of war, of sugar control and
most especially the added war taxes
that are sure TO come and are now al
most at hand as result of the burden Of
war costs that must be borne. II may
be that this has not been fully dis
counted yet and that there will be fur
thor recessions when the full terms of
the War Tax Bill as it finally passes are
received, but, on the other hand there
are many who think that added taxes
and added costs, sugar price control and
all else, except possible drought losses
in some instance have now been fully
discounted. y.
There have been heavy declines in
the prices of all of the active sugar
stocks on the local exchange from the
top prices of last year, AS some Of
the stocks are of q hundred dollars phr
value, others $40 and one SIG the only
comprehensive way of figuring declines
is on hundred point par" and with
declines in points proportionately, that
is to multiply the decline in $40 par
value share by five. In that way a
percentage basis of figuring is oh.

NEW ORLEANS, September Is -
The Louisiana sugar industry has ten
dered itself and all that il can do to
the United States government to heIY
defeat the Central Powers in Europe.
All that it asked at the largest, most
momentous and harmonious meeting of
sugar planters ever held in this State
was square deal from the govern
ment; treatment which would enable
the sugar business Of l.Ouisiapa to con
hnue to exist to serve the government

"Wednesday afternoon, 1t had been
preceded by two preliminary meetings
at which all of the wrinkles, If any
existed, had been sm0othed out and
represented at the general meeting
then held, the biggest accumulation Of
sugar planting harmony that old fell
lows in the business say they have ever
seen in Louisiana sugar history.
Unity Is Shown
The occasion for the meeting was
two fold. One reason for il is to be
found in the fact that report was
current that there was lack of unity
between the various sugar producing

$780, ization After Meeting

Following a meeting of the i" Assoei-
alton on the Higher Wage Question:
which was held at the Asahi Theater
Sunday evening two committees have
been selected, il is learned from au-
thoritative sources These committees
differ from the first committe that was
named in that there is not prominent
Japanese business man upon either Of
them, the members being chiefly doc
tors, physicians or priests. ne o. ~. = ,
The important development of the
meeting, which filled the Asahi Thea
ter, was the fact no representative of
the Nippu Jill appeared. This produe-
ed some caustic comments from the
other newspaper men, the reorganization
Of the Association having been left
to the newspapers. The Nippu Jill
was accused by speakers Of "having
cold feet", having been :" bought OFF
by the planter" and Of having lost
interest and deserted the movement
which the japanese newspapers had
started. These charges the paper de,
MED in its columns alleged il had not
lost interest but that there should be
something tangible and concrete upon
which TO work before anything deiin-
lite. was undertaken.
The first Of the new committees
70 be named is said to consist of Iga
Mori, physician; Jikichi Tatsuryhama,
principal of the japanese Central In
stitute; Seishi Masuda, principal of
the JapaNese Kakaako school; Teiii
Fuiita, Interpreter; Katsura Mujao Of
the Izuma fShinto) shrine.
" The negotiation committee Is said 10
be composed Of Kideu Wada, insurance
agent; juno Watanabc, interpreter;
Cbuniiro Sakaki, Koto shrine; Toshi-
yuki, Mitamura, physician; Riuhei Ma.
shima, principal Makiki school and
ko- Usawa, principal Of the Kaimuki
school. F..
At the meeting Sunday evening the
only speakers were newspaper men and
one priest. 1t had been announced
that representatives Of plantation labor
would be heard but none spoke. 1t
may have been that there. were some
present in the crowd of nearly thou.
sand that crowded the theater. So.
What the next move to be made will
be has not yet been announced.
