Baker gives herewith quotations
from instructions received from W,
H. Aver, federal food administrator;
NO dealer can sell To city or town
consumers more than ono.iourth
barrel at one time aud no consumer
should have on hand more than this
quantity. Rural consumers , living
at u distance from their nearest and
natural trading points, may pur-
chase not to exceed one-halt barrel.
Sales In large quantities to distant
farmers. ranchers. etc. can be made
only ON a permit secured from the
county chairman OF the United
States food administration.
In explanation OF the above YOU
win note that II says IRON the near.
est and natural trading points" thus
any person living near Kerby, flol,
land. Williams. or other towns would
not have any more right TO purchase
more than one sack OF flour than
someone living near Grants Pass.
In reference. TO substitutes, W, n,
Aver. federal food administrator for
Oregon. has given the followlng. In
structions TO dealers
Dealers selling to consumers
must sell / 10. OF substitute or
substitutes with every 3 lbs. OF
wheat flour sold, For instance, to
sell ~ ID, sack OF wheat flour. n
dealer must In the same purchase
sell II lbs OF one or more OF the
substitutes listed below, with every
"a 10. purchase OF wheat -four, must
go a purchase OF lbs. OF u snbsti.
tute. etc
Substitutes ure as follows: bar
ley. buckwheat flour. corn flour. po-
tato flour. rice flour, corn meal.
corn starch, corn grits, homlny, oat
meal rolled oats and rice.
Wheat flour includes graham
and whole wheat flour"
This order was effective January
aSth. 1918. and no consumer should
ask any dealer to vary from this. as
they cannot do so-they must com
ply with the Y. $. food administra-
tion's orders. In order to have the
privilege OF purchasing supplies.
Some dealers report that they
have reason to believe that In some
cases consumers will purchase 81
worth OF sugar or sack OF flour at
one store and then endeayor 10 dup
licate the order at some other store.
Wherein dealer has definite know
ledge OF this fact he would not have
the right to make additional sales.
but the responsibility falls back up
on the consumer, and for the pres
ent he must be ruled and guided by
his measure OF our government and
his patriotism to do NIL within his
mower to assist the government In
carrying ont It's war regulations.

County May Legally
Finish Lahaina Job
Attorney General Hold It Legal To
Advance Money As PrcnOSed If
County Is Willing To Take Chance
Of Getting 1t Back

The county of Maui will supply the
$4,000 needed for completing the
dredging of the Lahaina boat channel
This was decided upon at the meeting
of the supervisors last week, as was
reported in last weeks Maui News,
but the decision carried the proviso
that such procedure would be legal.
Territorial Attorney General Harry
Irwin has cleared up this point in an
opinion given this week to effect that
such a method of financing the work
will be legal, but that the county Of
Maui will have to take its own
chances that the legislature will re-
imburse it. He says in part
"A county may appropriate a part
of its available revenue for the carry
ing on and for (or) completion of a
territorial public improvement, the
appropriation for which has been OK
hausted. 1t may not make such ap-
preparation by way OF advancement,
to any territorial hoard or department.,
but may do so with the expressed in
tent or requesting the legislature to
reimburse the county for the amount
of such appropriation"

Community Christmas
Tree A Great Success

Wailuku's community, Christmas
tree. at the Armory last Monday night,
was attended by a great throng of
children from Wailuku, Waihee, and
Waikapu, and many grown-ups enjoy
ed the interesting spectacle as well.
Auto trucks of the Wailuku plantation
brought the children from the outside
districts, and later returned them to
their homes.
A fine big tree, beautifully trimmed,
was the main feature of the decora-
tions of the big hall Much care and
hard work had been expended by
dozen or more willing workers, who
also helped Father Christmas (Major
Whitehead) TO distribute candy and
gifts to all the eager youngsters.
The celebration was engineered by
c. A. Puck, of the Alexander House
Settlement, and the cost, amounting
10 about $500 was covered by contri-
buttons. chiefly from business con-
Germs Of Wailuku.
Before the distribution Of gifts the
choir Of the Church Of the Good Shep-
herd sang a carol. accompanied by
Mrs. Nilliers. There was also general
singing. The Maui band also furnish
ed acceptable music.

Quarreled With Wife
ThenHanged Himself
William Alexander, Portuguese Watch
man, Ends His Domestic Troubles
At End OLA Rope After Drinking
Bottle OF Gin At Home In Kahului

Despondent on account of domestic
booze, William Alexander, a Portu-
guese night watchman for the Kahu-
lui Railroad Company, committed sui
eide last Saturday night, by hanging
himself in the bath house at his home.
His dead body was found on Sunday
morning by neighbors and the police
notified. AS he had threatened to a
number of persons to kill himself, no
inquest was deemed necessary.
Alexander, who was about 46 years
Of age. had been in the employee Of
the railroad company for many years.
ERe came to the Islands in the early
days of the Portuguese immigration,
and was a faithful worker.
For some time past he and his wife
had been having violent quarrels, and
only few days before he hanged him
self he had been arrested and fined
$40 for viciously beating and kicking
her.
Following this assault his wife left
him, and on Saturday night Alexander
did not go to work. He found how
ever, a bottle of gin, which his wife
had hidden away when prohibition
went into effect, and circumstances
point to the fact that he drank all Of
this liquor, after which he went to the
bath house, tied rope to rafter and
around his neck, and then kicked a
box out from under himself.
The deceased is survived by his
wife and a number of children.

Flour Substitute Order
Pau About February

Food Administrator Child, in a let
ter to the Maui fair price committee,
states that while almost all restric-
tions on the use of food have been
lifted in the territory. the one requir-
ing substitutes to be bought with
wheat flour must still continue in
force until the supply of substitutes
in the territory is sufficiently reduced.
This he thinks, will be about Febru,
airy l.
The federal food administration will
not be deorganized in the territory
until peace is formally declared, and
will continue to guard against pro-
fiteering in food stuffs until that time.
Mr.. Child states that while people
are still under a moral obligation not
TO waste food this must hereafter be
voluntary. He also states that mer-
chants are not relieved of publishing
their price quotations on bulletin
board in their stores, and that there
is trouble in store for those who neg
lect to comply with the regulations
in this respect.

Robbed POStOGCe
But Left Much Coin
Drawer With $1,000 Forced Open But
Money Not TOuched--LeSS Than
$50 Taken From Box OF Stamps
-Puunene Robbery Is Mystery

The Puunene postoftice was burglar
lied on Christmas eve or Christmas
morning, the thief getting away with
between $40 and $50 in coin, and leav-
ing behind $1,000 in gold and currency
which must have been in plain view
before his eyes.
Entrance was effected by breaking
the glass in the door and throwing
the belt by reaching on the inside.
Up to the present time the police have
no clue TO the identy of the burglar.
The money taken was in a box.
which also contained a considerable
quantity of postage stamps. These
latter were thrown into the ditch near
the Office together with the box, and
We're recovered the following morning,
But besides finding the money in the
box, the intruder had forcd open the
drawer of Postmaster MedeiTOs' desk
and left it partly open. In this draw
er was about $1,000. Why it was
not disturbed is puzzling everybody
concerned.
The police believe that the thief
may be the party responsible for a
number of petty thefts of money from
the clothing lockers at the Puunene
tennis courts, reported lately by ten
mis- players.
