do YOUR BEST
NOT BIT should
Be WAR slogan
IBy AxEociakAd pressl

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Dec. IL
That the British war slogan DO your
Bit" is inadequate and inappropriate
for this country and is tending to SLOW
up effort on the part OF many OF the
people is the growing conviction o.
those connected here with the Federa!
Food Administration for California.
In England to do ones bit" implies
the carrying through of an undertak'
ing to its accomplishment. In the
United States and on the Pacific Consl
in particular the general conception
OF a bit is a relatively small thing. IL
Is a term applied to 1212 cents.
"A bit conveys the idea of small
piece or a morsel and probably has a
wrong psychological effect on the
people" said Ralph P. Merritt. Fed
eral food administrator for California
THE millionaire Who bnys a few
thousand dollars worth of Liberty
Bonds has done his bit but certainly
he has failed by long margin o.
doing his best
IF this, the worlds greatest crisis,
does not call for the best efforts Gf
the American people then certainly
there never will come a time when II
can be demanded of them. TODD one s
bit may mean anything or relatively
nothing. 1t gives the people no
measure of what is expected of them
The nation is calling for the best Ell
forts of it's citizens. Every man or
woman, If honest with themselves
knows whether or not they are doing
their best.
1T would be we'll for the American
people to forget about their bit and
do their best"

The Value of Your Bond

Editor StarsBullPtin:
Will YOU allow suggestion in regard to he bond
selling campaign? II seems to me that all the papers
have overlooked the main point--the big induce
ment to buy after patriotism.
Here is the idea We buy bonds and pay for
them with dollar that buys only half what it nor
may should. For example: In 1914 dollar
meant five pounds of bacon lat retail. four and a
half pounds of ham l.Armoursl. 80 pounds of -four
16 pounds of cotton. etc. No Use TO say what dol
lar means nor. We all know only too well.
When the war is the price of almost every
item will fall rapidly. and in about three four
wears the little 500 bond will buy fully twice
possibly three times as much as now
Now. since dollar is only worth what it will buy
you can easily really buying our bonds
at about forty fifty cents the dollar.
Suppose YOU take up the idea and use it in We'd
nesdayS Star Bulletin.
With best wishes. cordially
J. C. BALLARD. VI. D..
Capt. NJ. r. c.
Fort RQger, T. H., Oct. -. 1917.
Not only does this paper take up the idea. but
also cordially recommends it the serious thought
of every reader
The value of the Liberty Bonds increases with
every passing day.

Big Men For Big Jobs

Supervisor Ben HOllinger makes great mistake
when he says that a combination of the water works
and the street departments, which night be COM
pretended in the term, public works of the city, is
too big job for one man.
That all depends on the size of the mar.
Thus far in the progress of the City and County
Of Honolulu the policy has been to put small men
in Office and try to shave the job down to their size
Or, if a good sized man did land in Office hold him
down through a supervisor who was possessed of
the insane idea that department head should not
make move till he, the supervisor, notified.
There has been surplus of little men.
What this city needs is big men for big jobs. And
when the men named show they are not of the right
size, they should be given the opportunity to seek
fields of endeavor that fit them.

AGE 7O;8ICKS COT
TON FOR RED

Mrs. Garrett tells us Of meeting
with a true patriot on last Sunday,
but refuses to divulge the name.
Mrs. Garrett says that on last Sun
day afternoon an aged lady, who is
past 10, came voluntarily to her and
handed her a silver dollar, saying she
wished to help the Red Cross. She
also told Mrs. Garrett she had earn.
ed the dollar picking cotton-and you
know the cotton this time is not cas-
ily picked-most of it being hulled.
This aged mother in Israel had al
ready Joined the Red Cross, paying
the regular membership fee, but felt
in her good, patriotic old heart that
she should do more; that she wanted
to really make some sacrifice, as our
boys are making for US, and that she
could do so by earning dollar in
the cotton patch for the Red Cross.
How inspiring her noble example
should be to US all How patriotic
this good mother feels for her coun-
try and with what warmth her heart
beats for the comfort of the dear
boys in the trenches fighting for Am
erica's freedom from German mill
tarism May God bless her.

2, 100000 in Class One.

Washington, Nov. 17.-Best esti-
mates indicate that class / of the five
classes into which all draft regis
trants are to be divided will contain
more than 100000 men subject to
duty with the colors before any man
in any other class will be called up.
It is regarded as practically GER
tain that congress will take up the
question of extending the draft law
to cover men who have attained the
age of Fl cince it was enacted. Should
that be done and provision made for
the registration thereafter of every
man as he reached that age, it is
probable that perhaps 100000 would
be added to class automatically by
next March. In that event no pres
ent plans for the army would reach
the men in class 2.
Officials have already considered
the possibility that congress will de-
eide to take in these additional young
men. Some fair system by which
they may be registered, classified
and assigned to places will be de-
vised. New regulations to be pub
Iished shortly probably will set way
in which this can be done.

EDITOR HELD UP
ON PUBLIC ROAD

On last Saturday en- route to Sha-
ron, the editor of the Enterprise was
held up on the public road, near Sha-
ron, by Junior Stoker, who came up
waving five-dollar bill, and when
we stopped our Lizzie Mr.. Stoker in
formed US he wanted SIS worth more
of the Enterprise. This SIS pays Mr..
Stoker's subscription to January,
1924, and insures him all the county
news all the time during that period.
Enterprise subscribers have been
most generous in responding to the
call to pay up, and many are now
paid from one to five years in adj
vance. The time in which they can
still get the paper for the very low
price of 81 per year, however, is
limited and quick action must be ia
ken, for after Jan. /, next, all sub
scription will positively be $1.5O a
year Many papers over the coun-
try are advancing to So, which is not
near in keeping with the advance in
the price of corn, cotton, wheat, hogs,
and so on. At the end of next year
the Enterprise may be forced to raise
to So, and yet it may be able to hold
the price to $3.50. We cannot tell,
but whatever is necessary to main
tain the standard of the paper will
be done.
