RESIDENTS OF ISLANDS
 MUST FAT OWN BANANAS
(By Associated Press)

HONOLULU, T. H., Jan. 22.-"Eat bananas" is the slogan that is plas- tered all over Honolulu today. Dead walls, street car lenders and street car windows, the windows of stores, sign boards about the city-everywhere that a poster will stick blazens the injunction, Eat bananas" The object of the sO-called banana campaign is twofold-to get rid of the huge surplus of the fruit and reduce the consumption of other foods that have to be imported or that may go toward the feeding of the army in France.
 Since the government took over most of the big passenger and freight vessels that formerly piled between Honolulu and the mainland, shipping facilities for the bananas raised in Hawaii have been reduced to practi. cally nothing. Thousands of punches of the fruit are going to waste, it be- ing impossible to move them.
 To remedy as far as possible this condition, a committee of prominent business men of Honolulu was formed last week, whose object was to in- crease the eating of bananas by the local population. They became active at once and enlisted as their aids the Boy Scouts of the city. Since then the Scouts have canvassed the city, taking orders for punches of bananas from housewives and business men. Thousands of punches were sold in this manner.
 Yesterday was set aside as banana day" and practically every business house in the city had a big bunch of bananas hanging in it's doorway, from which those who would might pluck and eat.
 So long as there were shipping fla cilities, all the better fruit was sent to the coast, the local people having to content themselves with the smaller and less showy bananas.

ONCE -DEsP|sED PENNIES
 FIND FAVOR AT FRISCO
(By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19.-"The | cent has come to stay" This seems to be the verdict of the merchants and storekeepers of this city. One and two-cent newspapers and the cafeteria started the circulation of the humble copper piece. The war has added the final impetus to it's use.
 To the average Fastener, who has always been used to seeing the cent in circulation, the foregoing may not be quite clear. In the early days of San Francisco no coin of value of less than 25 cents ever was used or seen Later dimes and nickles began to ap- pear, but even the high school boy of today can remember when the copper penny was something of curiosity.
 Within the past four or five years the cent piece has come more and more in evidence. It has become fully established in the department stores and cafeterias, and now Uncle Sam is
 
 tificates. The thrift certificate in- creases in value one cent each month. It costs $4.13 this month. It will cost $4.14 in March. Incidentally, Uncle Sam has, by this means, given the cent dignity which it previously did not possess here. There was a preiud. ice against it which is said to be fast disappearing, for the government has shown that the cent is as potent as the dollar in helping to win the war. More than this, there is a demand i for it, and on various occasions the East has been asked to ship cent pieces west in order that the demand for them might be kept supplied. Busi- ness men generally have expressed the
The Cordova daily times., 1918-02-19

opinion that only by the use of the cent could both the retailer and con sumer do business on a sound eco homie basis.
 It is a new experience for San Fran. ciscans, but they have come to enjoy it if the demand for the copper pieces is any criterion
