Abe Buchholtz, the Koloa Plantation
store keeper, says that the price of
cotton and wool has risen to surpris-
ing fl ures, as a result of war CON
dition&. For cotton goods which
forme ly cost II cents at wholesale,
he now has to pay 80 cents. Woolen
goods are nearly three times as high
as they were three years ago.
The Kauai Railway Company has
recently built an addition to it's sugar
wareE )use. Capt. Leavitt, the man
ager, reports that the warehouse is
now 61 feet wide by 525 feet in length.
The uncertainty as to the probability
of Sc iring tonnage for transporta-

Wanted-More Socks.

America, as every one knows, is
now in the war with both feet.
She's got to have socks for those
feet-thousands OF pairs Of them.
The Red Cross knittcrs of the
Mountain Division-C Colorado, Utah,
New Mexico and Wyoming must pro-
vide, Immediately, approximately 30
900 pairs of socks. They are for oui
boys at Camp Cody, Demng, N. NJ,
who shortly will begin a journey in
cident to the trip across.
Edwin II. Brown, Red Cross Field
Director at Camp Cody, has made Il
requisition on the division warehouse
in Denver for 10000 pairs Of socks
in addition to the large number sent
to the boys he and his staff serve.
Knitters will not have sufficient timc
between now and the date upon which
the boys begin to move to produce tho
requisite number of socks. But a suf
ficient number of the foot garments
can be supplied if all Red Cross or
ganizations-branches, chapters and
auxiliaries-send in, at once. all socks
they now have on hand.
As soon as the socks are gathered
locally they will be shipped through
proper channels to the Division ware
house in Denver, where they will be
assembled and sent Immediately to
Camp Cody.
"Our soldiers must have socks
thousands of pairs of them" said
Frederick W. STANDARD, Division Di-
rector of Supplies. Il am urging all
chapters to round up all the socks in
their Jurisdiction for immediate ship
ment to the division warehouse in
Denver. believe the workers of this
division. which are among the most
energetic and productive in the United
States. can supply Camp Cody's needs
thus obviating the necessity Of appeal
ing to other divisions for these neces-
sary articles"
Mr. STANDARD explains that the di-
vision warehouse stock Of socks was
depleted a few days ago when, in re
sponse to an appeal for socks and
other garments for General Pershing's
boys, his department sent out six car
loads Of supplies for direct shipment
to the American troops in fropt linz

Another Creelism.

1t is evident that George Creel is
entirely lacking in comprehension OF
the simplest facts in current events
and past history. His expression OF
pride over our unpreparedness at tho
outbreak of the war Is a small Of
Tense compared with his declaration OF
April II. 1918, that "The time and
opportunity have came for a natior
to pay a great debt of gratitude foi
service rendered in great national neeo
and America is paying France tho
debt she long has owed"
The fact is that we are paying nc
debt to France. We are not fighting
the battles of France-we are fighting
our own. "The time and opportunity
of which Mr.. Creel speaks. for US &c
pav our debt TO France, did not come
in 1918, they came in 1914. and w'
passed up the opportunity. Ever
since the sinking of the Lusitania ir
1915. France and Great Britain have
been fighting our battles. and they are
fighting our battles today more thar
we are fighting theirs or even our
own.
Mr.. Creel says that "The honors arr
even. and the honors are great" We
hope the time may come when th'
honors will be even but that time i

SCHWAB ON THE JOB

Expressions are being received in
Washington from all parts of the
country approving the first act of
Charles NJ. Schwab, the new director
of the Emergency Fleet Corporation
the removal of the Offices of the cor
poration to Philadelphia. That it is
"a practical move by practical man"
is the general characterization of the
act. Chairman Hurley points out
that 'nearly 80 per cent of the work
now in progress is within a short
radius of Philadelphia and this in
cludes the Bristol, Newark, and Hog
Island shipyards. With his Office thus
centrally located, Schwab has an
uounced his intention of keeping in
personal touch with the work of ship
construction by going into the yards
himself and speeding up the work.
His presence will be stimulating.
An amusing sidelight on Schwab's
action was exhibited Immediately after
the announcement of the proposed
transfer of his Office to Philadelphia.
Several hundred clerks employed by
the Fleet Corporation in Washington
declared their intention not to ac-
company the office to Philadelphia.
Let the public be calm. This will not
mean the collapse of the shipbuilding
program. These clerks are chiefly
deserving democrats" who have been
taken on at pleasant salaries, who
have adorned themselves with corpora
tion buttons, and who in Washington
are sometimes referred to as pulling
their bit" Indeed, it has been said
that one of the considerations which
actustcd Schwab in making this move
was to escape bureau critic and polite
al interference with his plans and Of
flee supervision. A democratic Scna-
tor or member of Congress at tho
other end of Pennsylvania avenue has
been handy thing for some petty
official or clerk of the corporation to
rely upon. and a personal intervie"
is always more effective than letter.
II is recalled that even the late lament
ed Denman, of the Emergency Fleet
Corporation, was able materially to
strengthen his opposition to General
Goethals, when they were having their
time-destroying row, by an occasional
personal visit to the Senate office
building.
Schwab in charge of the Emergency
Fleet Corporation; Stettinius' execut-
i've ability in the War Department, an
increasing reliance of the Administra-
ton on that class of able business
men formerly subjected to the insults
and abuse Of the democratic party
give assurance that in the conduct Of
the war there is being brought, about
slowly but surely, change for tho
better.

But the professor persevered, and
the morning before they were to have

pin cushion that told the whole story.

Longworth Looked Ahead.
1t will be remembered that during
the consideration of the revenue bill
last fall Representative Nicholas Long
worth of Ohio endeavored to secure
the adoption of an amendment that
would have prevented in large meas
urc the manufacture of platinum into
iewelry. The demand for that metal
for war purposes has become so great
that its price is now about ten rim's
he price of gold. Mr.. Longworth's
proposition was rejected by the Gemc-
ratio majority of the House, hut had
his foresight been appreciated at that
time the supply Of platinum for mil
itary uses would have been greatly
conserved. Too late. in this us in
other matters the democrats are awak-
ing to the imperative need for that
mineral, and are now trying to rush
through Congress bill that gives the
President power to control the pro-
duction and supply of platinum and
various other minerals used in the
manufacture of munitions.
Penny-Ante Palaver.
The absurd spectacle Of the House
wasting hours disputing as to whether
the navy department should purchase
Ford automobiles for use around navy
yards or buy cars costing as much as
81 500 each has moved Representative
Simeon ID. Fess Of Ohio to remon-
strate gently with his colleagues. On
the same days and in the same bill
with the automobile item were ap-
preparations running as high as s170.-
900 900 which were passed by the
House without debate and with little
observation. After the admonition OF
Mr.. Fess, who often smoothes the way
for important legislation, the discus
sion of the relative merits Of the Ford
and other cars was laid aside, and the
huge naval bill carrying over a billion
dollars was promptly passed.
