Sixty-nine Men Sail
Away to Join Colors

Sixty-nine young men sailed away
on the Kinau last Saturday evening to
join the colors at the mobilization
camp at Honolulu. This last lot
cleans up all the available men in
Glass 1.
Several more will be added to this
class however, from the recent regis
tration of the youths who have reach
ed their majority since the last regis
tration and from the number of young
men who have come to the Island
since that time.
The local draft board office is a
very busy place these days, with the
registration of these new men, the CIV
ing of the new permits and various
and other duties. Sheriff Rice, the
chairman of the board says that if
they give the board much more work
to do in addition to their regular dut-
les that he will have to make an ad-
dition to the clerical force.

$3.50 Rule Explained
byM .ChiIds at Meet

Representatives from all the stores
and most of the eating places from
Lihue TO Hanalei were present when
the Food Administrator called the
store keepers and restaurant mems
meeting to order in the County Court
nouse, last Thursday afternoon.
a great many questions that have
Jeeh Lothering these men were ex-
pIaIned 10 them by Mr.. Childs. The
question of the $3.50 rule was explain
ed to the restaurant men and it was
shown them that just because they
Aad 10 Duy $3.50 they did not neces-
sarly have to make their bread and
rolls III this manner. 1t was pointed
out that they could use as much
wheat Hour as they liked, just as long
Us they did not exceed rs per cent, but
that the bread must contain as much
rs 20 per cent substitutes. This they
could accomplish in this manner
That tnoy could use up their substi-
,utes Ill COOKING them straight. as in
coin bread, oatmeal for breakfast, bar
.cy mullins, wheatless pie crust, etc.
his would then give them a greater
percCnt.ge of wheat for their bread.
1he question was brought up why
The substitutes were formerly higher
than MEeat flour and Mr.. Childs ex-
planned 1t like tins: That when Con
sress ave the Federal Food Admin
stratot the right to name the price

sonso 4ugntly when the $3.50 rule was

clear out Of sight in price on account

;. in speaking OF the saving that this
1U-G0 rule had brought about in the
Islands alone, Mr.. Childs said: "In the

Kapaa May Have
Good Harbor

The Kapaa homesteaders are to have
harLor, il the wishes Of Governor
Mccarthy as outlined to the board OF
harbOr commissioners by Commiss-
loner ID. Il. Metzger, are carried into
effect.
Governor. Mccarthy is taking
great interest in Kapaa since his re-
cent visit to the Garden Island, which
gave him the opportunity to see what
the homesteaders here, have accom-.
plished Mr. Metzger told the harDor
board that the Governor returned from
Kauai convinced that a harbor should
be established at Kapaa
y preliminary survey was made
some time ago, with the result that
an estimate was submitted which was
TO the effect that it will cost $780,
600 or more to establish a harbor at
kapaa. The Governor is inclined to
the opinion that it can be built for
less amount The Governor also
thinks that it will be desirable to have
careful survey of the proposed har-
Dor made and an estimate made as to
what can be done.
The Territorial Treasurer has sug-
gested that it will be possible to use
for this purpose a part of the $4,000
appropriation made by the Legislature
for wharves and harbors on Kauai.
While the Governor was here on his
recent trip, Mr., George Wilcox offered
to buy bonds to the extent of $4,000
in order to further furnish funds for
the proposed survey. The Governor
has recommended that this manner Of
furnishing the funds be adopted by the
Territory for the proposed survey.

Rice Growers Meet
AndDiscuss Prices

At the meeting of the Rice Growers
called by Food Administrator Child,
so that he and the various rice grow
crs could get together it was brought
out that there has been about 100
acres of rice land planted this year
which was not planted last, on the
Hanalei side of the Island
The reason why the profits on the
sale of rice were what they are was
explained to these growers and they
all were satisfied that they are get
ting a fair profit from their labors, and
as one said, who raises rice in the
Hanalei valley, IF we can get the
same price for rice all the time, that
we are getting now, we will all be
satisfied"
Mr.. Childs asked if it were pos
sible for them to raise two crops a
year, and it was explained to him that
the best that they could do was three
crops in two years, but that this was
not possible in Hanalei. This is on
account of the land requiring rest,
and also that the second crop is new
er as large as the. first one, and yet
costs the same for planting and har-
vesting. Mr.. Childs told the growers
that the reason he asked this question
was that he wanted them to grow all
the rice that they could, so that they
would be able to supply the local de-
mand as far as possible, and, that if
he found that there was an over supply
that he would not allow any rice to be
imported, as this rice invariably costs
more than the rice which stays at
home And on the other hand he
asked them not to export rice to
Honolulu when there was a demand
for it on this Island, as there was no
need for the consumer to pay the
freight both ways and the jobbers
profit as well.
The rice growers are very well
pleased with the outlook for the com
ing crop and all have promised to
plant as much for next year as they
have this, and to work with the food
administration in every possible way.

Must Obtain Permit

future will be required first to obtain
a permit from the selective draft of.

of aiding the army in apprehending de.

The permits will be issued from the

The permit division of the draft

leaving the Islands for the Pacific

In fact, any male passenger intending
