Amount Uncertain
How much the custodian will have
to invest in Liberty Bonds is matter
that will not be known until the Ia st

OUR LIBERTY LOAN
QUOTA IS UNCERTAIN

Manager Guy H. Buttolph, of the
fourth liberty loan, states that whIlr
the quota of Hawaii for the third lib
erty loan was $3,6l4 900, it is stiIl un-
certain as to just what the figure will
be for the fourth loan, but if it is
double the third, then it will exceed
s. 000, 900, unless the Pr"-rata Of the
Territory is cut down, and that is not
anticipated.
Word has been received 10y Manager
ButtOlph from the board of traIr of

UNCLE JOE NEARING

Nqualrd II record achieved by only one
other III point of congressional SERVICE
Already the former speaker has out
served all other present and former
members of the House for long service
in that body. The late William Bovd
Allison, former representative and lat.
rr senator from Iowa, held a record in
congress with forty yfUur years scvricc
III both Houses.
Mr.. Cunnon's record Is for service
in the House alone. One more term
would complete Il service of forty.
four wears. Were it not for an affair
in 1890, when the Democrats took con
troll of the house, following passage of
the Mckinley tariff law, and another
incident of 1912, when the Progress.
sivrs split the Republican vote, Mr.
Cannon s service would have been for
tN onty-fUur terms continuous (forty-
eight years.. As it is he began his
service in 1873 and has served since
with the exception of the two terms
mentioned.
Besides Mr.. Cannon and the late Sen,

late representative and senator, is
among the former members who saw
long service in congress. Mr. Morrill,
served forty three years continuously

signs recently of extreme measures by
tho German High Command regarding
the increasing RsCendancy of the Allied

been especially evident since the Amer.
lean airmcn have begun to appear in
force and have proved themselves of
the same mettc as the French and

1t has become a common. place among
British airmen that their opponents

War Trade Board Grants Per-

Months Supply From Chile
ONE CARGO ALREADY

Eighteen Thousand Five Hundred

ment For Plantations

Relief from the nitrate shortage
which has been threatening seriously
to decrease the 1920 sugar crop is in
sight. A supply more than sufficient
for three months is promised. One
consignment, not a large one but sufli-
cient to tide over for time, is on the
way and may be here within two weeks
and the balance is to follow Emcr-
gctic work has brought action from
Washington.
Cable advices received yesterday
morning brought the news that will
relieve the anxiety of everyone con.
nCcted with the sugar industry. This
message told of $500 tons being on the
way and an allotment Of $4,000 tons,
a three months supply, having been
assigned to Hawaii by the war trade
board. This supply will be divided pro
rata among the three fertilizer com.
panics according to the needs of their
customers and by the companies al.
loted to the various plantations they
are accustomed to supply. 1t should
be adequate to meet the needs of the
autumn and winter when it is most
successfully applied during the rains.
Cancellation Withdrawn
Before the embargo was placed on
shipments of Chilean nitfates for pur-
poses other than manufacture of muni-
tions, there had been placed in Chile
an order for $500 tons of the fertilizer,
This was cancelled bv the war trades
board. Now the cancellation has been
rescinded and the shipment is already
on the way here. Its arrival will make
the receipts 4600 tons in less than a
month.
Most of the plantations had some
supply of fertilizer when the planting
began and the fertilizer companies ap.
portioned among the plantations that
they had. This is the fertilizer that
has been and is being used but it was
about exhausted when 100 tons ar.
rived.
Hand Work Wins
Recognizing the seriousness of the
situation, since from third to a half
of the crop of cane of the Islands is
dependent upon fertilizing to speed up
the growth of the Young cane, the mat
ter was taken up with Secretary Lane
while be was here. The committee of
sugar planters now in Washington has
undoubtedly worked to secure Tho re-
lease and the fertilizer companies and
committee of planters here have been
using the cable, all to the same pur'
pose.
Early this week Norman Watkins,
manager of the Hawaiian Fertilizer
Company, held out little hope for re
lief and said he feared the embargo
would be continued for several months,
but the unexpected happened and the
sugar industry has been given rrcog-
milton as an essential.
Coming so soon after the furnishing
by the shipping board Of an ample
number of bottoms to move the bal,
amrc of the crop, the news of yc~trr
day removes all but one Of the biggest
problems of the sugar men, the last
being the shortage of labor.

The storage of ships equipped with

by the diverting Of the Iurline and

church. In 1873 he came to the United

1875 he moved to Edgewood, and in
1882 he made his home in Manchester.
August 81, 1882, in Strawberry Point,
he was married to Miss Minnie Peters.
The Lord blessed this union with two
sons and one daughter, Frank and

who had the welfare of our church at

66 years, 6 months and % days. Be-
sides his wife and children he is sur

PRICE INTERPRETING COMMITTEE
MEETS.

The price interpreting committee
for Delaware county, and the County
Food Administrator met in the Com
mercial club rooms over the First
National Bank building Tuesday even
ing to go over the list of wholesale
and retail prices of foodstuffs. This
committee acts under authority from
the State Food Administrator, and gets
it's schedule Of prices at which to sell
foodstuff from the food administrator
Many people, no doubt wonder why
the substitutes for wheat -four are SO
high, and many may be of the i'm
'pression that the retail grocer is max
ing more than legitimate profit. The
retail merchant is allowed only very
nominal profit for handling substitutes
and other food products. In fact the
margin is so close on sugar and -four
that the merchant has to exercise the
greatest care in weighing out in small
quantities that he does not lose out.
The item of freight and carriage also
enters into handling of foodstuffs like
it never. has before. Merchants liv-
ing in towns not on a railway line,
and are obliged to haul overland by
team or car merchandise naturally
have heavier item of carriage and
are therefore allowed fraction of a
cent more on the retail price than
other merchants.
The price Interpreting committee
made number of changes in the
prices Tuesday night. and we ask our
readers to note carefully the list Of
prices given in another column.
