Wartime Business

F the territorial fair to be held in June, can be
i held on the lines along which the commission
is now working it will be the biggest factor in
ship space conservation and food production so
far brought into play, while 1t will also be
powerful incentive towards the formation in Ha-
wall Of league for the preferential buying OF
local products These Islands can be very much
more self-suppOrting i'll the matter OF food sup
ply than they are and can come closer to becoming
independent of outside for food than the
majority of people believe. 1t is to demonstrate
this that the fair commissioners working, and
such a work is war work of the very greatest
practical benefit
If the people OF the Territory take advantage OF
the opportunity the first territorial fair presents,
local producers and local Cosumers can'be brought
together Those who produce exhibit samples OF
their products; those who consume, and the great
est proportion of the consuming public of Hawaii
is centered in Honolulu may what the Island
products really are and may obtain the necessary
information to supplies available and prices re-
quired to meet costs OF production and reasonable
profits. The growers OF Maui, Hawaii and KAUAI,
the two first named particularly, ought to be able
to make the fair turning point in the history OF
"small farming" in this Territory.
The idea entertained by some that the territorial
fair is to be squandering OF public funds or an
entertainment ought to be revised. The TAR, IN
conception and in the present planning is strictly
utilitarian. That there will be entertainment
zone" is be taken for granted but this does not
entail any expenditure Of territorial money nor IS
il to be allowed to become the ma or part of the
exhibition. In Direct Immediate practical results
the fair ought to return to the territorial taxpay-
ers many times what the appropriation amounts
to. 1t is wartime, bushes proposition and
should be supported on that basis.

MIR. Child Disagrlees
With Opinion
of Herbert G. Hoover

J. f. Child, food administrator for
Hawsii, doesn 7 agree with Herbert
9. Hoover, national food Administrator
and his superior, that meatless days
should be- suspended, and he is act
ing accordingly,
The Associated Press announced n
few days ago that Hoover had decided
that it was more important to save
wheat than meat, and consequently
had announced q suspension of meat
less days, on the theory that the more
meat people eat, the less wheat they
will need.
Mr.. Child, disregarding the instruc.
tions Of Mr.. Hoover as announced by
the Associated Press, has issued in
structions that meatless days will be
continued In Hawaii unless they arc
specifically discontinued by himself
He has also cabled Mr.. Hoover that he
doesn't think the latter's instructions
to discontinue them should be carried
into effect in Hawaii. His cablegram
to his superior says:
81 recommend that meatless and
porkless days be continued in Ha-
waii," he wired. "Our supply Is not
sufficient without meatless days. Short
age Of ship storage prevents any great
quantity being imported, While our
price is lower than imported Califor-
MIA meat; 1t is sufficiently high to en-
courage production"

it in his possession.

President Decided I. !
Two Weeks Ago
10 Ban Booze Here !.
Doctor Goodhue; Who Was large
y Instrumental IN Obtaining
Prohibition Order, Got Promise
From wilson, Baker and
Daniels ~ w.,

The decision Of tho President to sign
the executive order making Oahu dry
under the provisions Of the Selee live
Draft Act was arrived at at least two
weeks ago. About the middle OF Fob.
ruary, Ernest o. Walker, The ADJ or
tiser's Washington correspondent, sent
the news, Of the coming action to Ho1
nolulu. Yesterday confirmation Of the
date Of the decision was received by
cable from DR., F.. 4 Goodhue, the man
10 whom the grcftsst credit for the
decision is due. Doctor Goodhue cabIed
from San Francisco, saying: ~
Immediate prohibition on Oahu by
order of the President Is to be brought
about. Assurance of this was given me
by the President and by the secretaries
OF war and the navy personally prior
to my leaving Washington. The Pro
hibition Bill for Hawaii Is sure to pass
later" '"1',.: -, ~
This cablegram was sent to Mrs.
Goodhue. Doctor Goodbue will be back
on either the Lurlins or the Manoa.
Rush For Booze ~ 4 s. %, E',.s o. ..
The barometer Of public agitation
over the coming prohibition restrictions
showed Enthusiastically in the number
Of acquisitions that were applied for.
II was necessary to obtain acquisitions
for the purchase Of all wines, liquors
and beers in order that the Inspector
might have some check on abnormal de.
mands that would indicate =, budding
blind.pig industry. On these grounds
Inspector W.. II. Hutton refused per.
mission to purchase spirits yesterday in
the cases Of several persons whom he
suspects Of this purpose. |T.A O.
y. A decrease In the number of liquor
tequisitions since the time when the
plan was first put into effect was sud,
denly caught up with yesterday and
the former number surpassed more than
twenty percent. Mr.. Hutton said yes.
terday that the class Of people making
the bulk of the acquisitions indicates
that every household in Honolulu where
liquor is kept is now making efforts to
obtain a stock against the time when
the city booze dispensaries 60 dry.
Saloons Mark Time
The demand for intoxicants under
tie permit allowing six bottles Of beer
and one quart of whiskey was strong
yesterday before new restrictions went
into effect. Saloon keepers are mark,
ing time, il is said, until the full de
tails of the new booze rule shall be re
eeived by government officials here
The failure in the arrival Of this cable
yesterday, opens the possibility that
the instructions may come through the
mail as they have done in other cases
Orders originating in the same way
have come 10 hand in the Office of the
United States attorney as much as 7si1
weeks after their being ISSUED In Wash
IinRton, butt zach soff'theae cases, Mr.
Huber says, were Of minor siniportahSs
compared with bone dry order.

will have charge of the drives in their

trustees, consisting of Mrs. Mary

PEACE NOW IN SIGHT

Thursday morning the news reach
ed this place that the Germans had
accepted the allied terms for an ar
mistice. That report was later de-
MED, but the statement was made
that the German commission appoint
ed to sign the armistice for the Ger
man nation was on the way to meet
General Foch, on the French front.
1t can be said without fear that the
announcement is premature, that the
Germans will submit within the next
AZ hours. If they do not they will
have no army left, judging from the
reports from the battle front. We'd
nesday the Americans captured Sc
dan, thus cutting off rail communica-
tion between the German armies to
the north and south. At the same
time the English, French and Bel
gians had captured Ghent, another
very important center of communica-
tion in Belgium, thus practically sur
rounding the German armies. While
1t would be satisfaction to have the
peace negotiations postponed for
few days while the allies bagged a
slather Of Huns, yet everybody will
welcome the hour of peace, when hos
tilities cease and the effusion Of blood
Is ended.
