Honolulu Auto Pilikia

c. w. Spitz of Nawiliwili was former
ly sole agent for the Chevrolet car.
Several months ago there was a plan
on foot in Honolulu to organize a new
automobile company under the name
of the Hawaiian Auto Sales Company,
and Sumner S. Paxson, who was vice.
Chevrolet car. Spitz and Schuman
were to be at the head of the company,
and Sumner S. Paxxon who was vice.
preident Of the Schuman company, was
to have been interested The Honolu-
lu papers now state that the company
was never formed, because interested
parties were not satisfied with the
terms of the Incorporation The Schu-
man company has now discharged Mr.
Paxon, claiming that his services were
not satisfactory. Paxon has in turn
brought suit against the Schuman COM
pany, claiming they violated the law
by accepting the autos for sale, when
the company which it had been plan
ned to form, was never completed.
PaXson has gone to the Royal Hawai-
ian Garage Company as manager
Spitz is now sole agent of the new
Chevrolet eight.

The Filipino Fan

It's a cold day when that Filipino
fan who sits down front at the Tip Top
Theater stays away. He was absent
one night last week, and of course it
rained He always brings "the wife a
the kids" and smiles pleasantly, no
matter how much the boys josh him.
He smokes some mysterious substance
which induces smoke shock, and which
may be the brand which used to be
known on the plains as buffalo chips"
He never wears a coat. He says the
boys in the trenches need clothing,
and he is going without now so that
he will be used to it when the govern
ment puts a ban on clothes, by and
bye. He says he does not hesitate to
indulge in his favorite brand of tobac-
co, because the few soldiers who have
tried the brand he smokes are all dead.

Hawaiian Sugar Co.'S Report

At the annual meeting of the Hawai-
ian Sugar Company, held last week.
Manager d. B. Baldwin gave a report
which showed that the crop yield for
1917 was 28,O6O tons, which includes
the production of the Gay & Robinson
fields, as we'll as the Hawaiian Sugar
fields. The crop has been free from
pests, and very little damage has been
done by the leaf hopper and cane bor-
ers. The planting of the crop for 1919
was started on May 1, 1917, and the
total acreage thereof is Alps. The
company paid out in bonuses during
the past year the sum of $306,967.91.
According to the treasurer's report,
the net receipts from sugar for 1917
amounted to $2,671,4S277. Total re-
ceipts from all sources, $2,74S,612.31.
The expenditures amounted to $685.
5S775. The balance carried forward
is 1891, ,375.

Revenue Officer Comes

r. L. Crawford, Division Deputy
from the Internal Revenue Office at
Honolulu arrived on Kauai, this morn
ing, prepared to render assistance to all
income tax payers in making out their
income tax returns. He will re
ceive post Office money orders, cash
ier's or certified checks, but under the
ruling of the department is not
permitted to accept cash money or
uncertified individual checks.
He will visit different places on
the island and render whatever assis-
tance is required. The exact dates
of the visits to the different points
will be announced later.
The time for filing all income tax
returns has been extended to April
1st, 1918.
In this exigency and crisis the Gov
ernment is anxious to have the tax
payers, or as many of them as possi-
bly, can, pay at once.

Pineapple Industry Essential

, The pineapple industry of the is
lands has been declared by the gov
ernment to be "an essential" This
is pleasing news, and surprising in a
way, as the pineapple interests did
not ask for total exemption, but did
ask that their industry be not declared
an unessentiai one. The army officials,
recognizing the very beneficial ele-
ments of food contained in the pineap-
pie, commandeered the entire Al out
put of the Hawaiian pineapple Gamer
les. Now the government has declared
that the industry is an essential. This
will mean that expert employees will
probably be classed as skilled farm la
Dor, and be exempted from draft. This
will depend, necessarily, upon the view
taken by the draft board.

Homesteaders Flowing

Thomas Cunningham and John A..
Kealoha, two of the Kapaa homestead
ers who went to Honolulu recently to
endeaVor to secure planting agree
ments with the directors of the Makee
Sugar Company, were unable, it is
stated, to make definite arrangements
and secure signed agreements, but
they have already commenced to plow
their land, in preparation for planting.
1t is understood that the matter of
securing water for irrigation will be
taken up at the annual meeting of the
company, which was announced to
take place on March 4th. The situa-
tion seems to be that the Makee Com
pany has some ten months old cane
which they desire to irrigate, but they
are willing to alternate with the home
steaders. This arrangement seems to
be satisfactory to all parties. This
will make it necessary to allow some
of the land to lie fallow, while the re-
mainder is kept in cane. The direc-
tors of the company say they are will
ing to buy all the cane the homestead
ers can or will raise, but that they
are not prepared to make advances
without knowing the crop will be car
ed for.

Kapaa HarbOr

j. H. Moragne, the Road Supervisor,
and r. H. Lowrie of the Public Works
Department went out to Kapaa Land
ing, last week, to make some sound
ings to determine the depth of the har-
Dor and learn as far as possible the
nature and contour of the bottom.
There is a movement on foot to i'm
prove the harbor at that point, so that
and discharge freight with greater
safety. This work is apparently be-
ing done under the direction of the
Harbor. Commissioner. 1t is said that
the channel is a good one, and will
perhaps not need extensive dredging.

Boys Need Discipline

A number of school boys Of the
Waimea district are apparently on the
downward path, and unless they re-
form are destined to spend a term in
the penitentiary. They are all quite
young, and to that fact they owe
their liberty today. They range in
age from fourteen to sixteen, but
are already showing a tendency to
crime which is sad to observe.
We omit the names of the boys,
hoping they will avoid any further
difficulty. 1t is a sad thing when
bad reputation becomes attached to
boy 1t is hoped the boys will see
the error of their ways, and not again
offend
Three or four of them decided they
wanted an auto ride. At least one OF
one of them knew how to drive. They
first went to Deputy Sheriff Crowelrs
garage, and pushed his Chrevrolet out
of the shed. The battery had been
removed from the machine, how
ever, and it wouldn't run. so they
abandoned it. They then tried to get
into the Won Hamm-Young garage,
but failed. They then went to the
garage of j, p, Kahlbaum, where they
pried out the staple to which the lock
was fastened, took the car out, and
drove it about thirty miles.
When Mr.. Kahlbaum had occasion
to use the car next morning, he no.
ticed that the staple fell to the ground.
He also noticed mud on the seats.
A little further examination showed
that the auto number had been plas-
tered over with mud.
The boys were later arrested by an
officer, and were fined the nominal
sum of SO, They will probably not
ecape so easily, if caught in further
depredations,

Putting up new stove is not very

BILE anger, and some heat not made
