1t seems from data received from
Honolulu that Hawaii's proportion of
the grand total is to be the trifiing
decimal .OO11275 per cent. If the total
loan for the whole country is six bill
lion, then Hawaii's share will be
about six and three quarter million,
and if the total is seven billion then
our share will be nearly nine million.
Just what proportion of these a.
mounts assigned to Hawaii as a whole
will fall to us on Kauai we have no
means of knowing; perhaps $2S0000,
in which case we have quite way to
go yet.

kAWAIHAU NOTES

The homesteaders who expected an
authentic statement from Charlie
Rice contradicting that he advocated
a reduction of percent for cane trash,
were disappointed when receiving
last weeks Garden Island"
His fellow neighbors were sorry to
read that IN S. Henriques gets sore"
at meeting reported. They trust the
community will not think too harshly
of this young aspirant. He is yet
young and must expect criticism
when in the political ring.
The question of water is still worry
ing the homesteaders of the last SER
les. From the first, two prominent
and public spirited homesteaders un-
dertook the duties of arranging for
the care Of the reservoirs and ditches
also the distribution of water upon
condition that those who so benefited
would share the expense of labor so
/ incurred. Now, after enjoying the
privileges of the water for some time,
some of them are guilty OF not coming
through with the refund of the neces-
sary money; but are still taking guam
titles of water to the detriment of
those who willingly meet their obli-
cations. In one case the owner of
the land has evidently let the entire
cultivation-from plowing to harvest
ing-to a gang OF orientals under a
profit sharing agreement, who greed
lily take the water but mo pay dollar"
We doubt whether the above men
toned method of developing home
steads would meet with the approval
OF the Government. There is a credit
able community already around the
sents such Interpretation of the home
stead laws. They have built attractive
homes only to be confronted with a
bunch of shacks opposite them. If the
,'owner is not prepared to take up resi-.
dence at the present moment there is
no excuse for him to dump" a gang of
orientals and permit them to erect
such buildings adjacent to the main
road, from whence it is a frequent oc
currence to see naked children bath
ing in the ditch. 1t is to be hoped that
any one tempted to this sort of thing
will realize that he must consider his
surroundings and harmonize his act
ion to the standards and ideals of his
ne,ghbors, and cooperate with them
to make an attractive community sec
tion.
Mentioning Homestead laws, the let
ter of Manuel Correa in the last issue
of the Garden Island" has already
set some persons inquisitive as tC
whether the Homestead lots referred
to are legally held by the present
occupier. The law especially states
after person has once taken home
stead he cannot take another in the
Territory" We understand that a
least one citizen is taking action.

FRENCH GIRLS

IN HUNDREDS
Anxious to Know Language
with So Many Ameri-
cans in France.

French girls are learning "Anieri-
can" so that they may enjoy the
same freedom and independence
American girls enjoy. according to
cables received here from Miss Marie
bingham, Y. w. c. A. war worker
at Tours, France. The spread of
the English language among the
French women Is wonderful. she
says one clas at Tours having 500
pupils and a long waiting list.
The extraordinarily large numbers
Of Americans in France are respon-
sible for the sudden increase in am
bition to learn the language also.
writes Miss bingham. In addition
to the class Of 500, there are 81
other English classes at Tours. and
some Of the rooms are used twice In
the evening. The girls walk for
miles to attend them.
Two rooms which We thought we
might have need of In the course of

evening that no amount Of statistics
or written description could give one

The Y. W. c. A. War Work Council
has established a large recreation
field and foyer at Tours, taking
care of thousands of French girl
munitions workers and Red Cross
nurses who come there for rest. There
are series OF these foyers throughout
France and England and the muni-
tons centers and camp and canton
ment centers in this country. Wher-
ever women are doing war work these
foyers are established by the Council.

MONEY TIGHT

New York. Aug. A-The money

but bankers say Il viii be no worse
ana they expect Improvement In .
short time.
The action Of leading bankers in
making free market for acceptances
mas helped very much. There is
penty OF money for all legitimate pur-
poses and no reason exists why the
stock market should not continue the
Improvement that Is due as a matter
of routine.
The action Of the Federal Reserve
pank in advancing money In the open
market on acceptances viii give a
rapid encrease to the output Of cash
and further increase the imitation that
IS the national accompaniment OF
war.
Canadian Pacific, U. s. Steel and
Union Pacific were leaders in the
stock market today. Under this
leadership. the whole list was active
and strong. Canadian Pacific touched
40. an advance for the day of more
than five points and of ten points
from the low of the previous session.
canadian Pacific was up partly for
the same reason that other stocks
advanced-they were discounting the
victories OF France. The rise Is due
more to the refusal of patriotic
citizens to sell than to the volume
of buying Daily movements are not
of extreme importance. but today's
revival of activity was interesting be-
cause 1t was in the best kinds OF
stocks and in specialties where there
Is known to be great reserve value.
When United States Steel touched
ia after a rise of two points there
were cheers on the exchange. Union
Pacific also created enthusiasm.
Hide and Leather preferred made
another new high record.
United Cigar Stores moved with
other leaders and the other tobacco
stocks were strong.
Virginia Carolina Chemical made a
further sharp advance in response to
conditions in the cottonseed trade.
Strength of the rails was due
largely to the expectation that the
contracts with the government will
be signed within a week. The July
statements of earnings are also cheer
ing.
In the actual bank statement today
surplus reserves increased s29, 9,2N. .150;
loans decreased S55. .i14,OO0 ard net
demand deposits increased $25.S33.OOO
In the average statement the surplus

creased SI.S0J. 600 and net demand
