Mule DragS Boy By
Leg In Wild Dash
Lad Had Tied Animal To Leg In Order
To Play-IS Badly Bruised But Is
Recovering Rapidly

Dragged by the leg by a frightened
mule for almost two blocks, little
David Kaumeheiwa, the 10 year old
son of Rev. l.. b. Kaumeheiwa, of the
Kaahumanu Church, escaped death as
by a miracle, on last Monday after
noon.
The mule was checked in its mad
course down Main street by Mrs. e.
R. Bevins, who saw the impending
tragedy and waved her arms in front
of the animal causing it to swerve
north on Church street where it was
caught by Charlie Bailey about half
way down that street.
The injured child was rushed to
Malulani hospital where it was found
that no bones were broken and that
his hurts consisted of bruises and
scratches on all most all parts of his
anatomy.
Tied Rope To Leg
The boy had been holding the
picket rope while the mule grazed
back of his home on Main street.
Finally, having occasion to use his
hands in some game on the ground
with some other children, he disposed
of the mule by tying the rope which
held it by the neck to his leg. The
sudden blowing of an old klaxhorn
by one of the children frightened the
animal and it dashed out of the yard
and down Main street with the child
dragged behind. The boy managed
to draw himself to a sitting position
and to get hold of the rope with his
hands, and was thus able to keep his
head from the pavement most of the
time, and thus probably prevented
his brains from being dashed out on
the hard roadway.

Maui GuardSmen To
Sail Sunday Night
After Week OF Hard Work Local
Battalion Is Ready - Expected
Boys Will Go Into Fort Armstrong
And Later To SchOfeld

The three central Maui companies
of the End Battalion, End Regiment,
National Guard, are under orders to
proceed to Honolulu on Sunday even
ing from Kahului. 1t is presumed that
an Inter-Island boat will be sent for
the men. The Lahaina company will
probably go down Sunday night or
Monday on another steamer.
The Maui companies have been at
work all week getting ready. They
are already in Uncle Sans service,
their status having changed last Sat
urday morning with the call for mob
ilization.
1t is now pretty definitely known
that the Guard is intended only for
garrison duty on Oahu. 1t will prob
ably take the place of regular troops
or about to be withdrawn
from Schofield or Shafter. There is
also a report that the guadsmen will
be drawn upon to fill up to full war
strength various infantry regiments
on Oahu. Should this be the case it
will mean that some of the guardsmen
at least will probably have a chance
to see foreign service with these other
1t is also believed that the men of
class AL of the draft will be used in
so far as needed to recruit up the
strength of the guard companies.

ANOTHER "DRIVE" FOR
SLACkERS LOOMING UP

AS soon as the two regiments of
the National Guard have completed
their mobilization, a roundup of draft
deserters will be started by selective
draft officials. The roundup will be
conducted under instructions received
from the provost marshal generals
office in Washington. Every local
man of draft age will be required to
show his classification card, and will
probably be taken into custody if he
fails to produce 1t.

High School Girls To
Enlist" In Cannery

4 = - = &* = + = 4 + T.
The girls of the Maui High
School have announced their
intention of doing their part to
help win the war by working
during the summer vacation in
the Haiku cannery.
1t is reported that practically
every girl in the school has
agreed to do this. Most of these
girls have never done any real
work in their lives outside of
the school room or their homes,
but they seem quite determined
to do some now.
Work in the cannery is not
heavy or unpleasant, but it is
monotonous and the hours are
long. But the work must be
done, and the high school girls
will be deserving of high credit
if they carry through their
resolve.

THE WEATHER
N OMAN ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
 WITH CARBOLIC ACID

Mrs. John Evans, a white woman living near the light plant, attempted suicide this morning about 10 o'clock with an ounce of carbolic acid, diluted with water, but was unsuccessful be- cause of the timely arrival of phy sician who administered an antidote which enumerated the acid.
 The woman has been in trouble with the mayors court number of times and her mother said that she had got a glimpse of the error of her ways and was trying to end it all by the acid route. The would-be suicide evidently knew the effects of raw acid and had mixed the ounce of acid with a glass of water which did not show any effects in her mouth but had it remained in the system fifteen min utes would have caused death. She said that. she weakened the acid so that it would not burn when she swal- lowed it.
 This case brings to mind small section of the town inhabited by a certain element, with which practi- cally every town is disgraced and which should not be tolerated by re- spectable people. There are a num- Der of shacks in this immediate neighborhood with human beings liv- ing in them that should be declared public nuisance, the people ought to be run out of town and the shacks burned and the lots left vacant, which would look much better than the as pect this section presents at present. They are revenue producers only when they are brought up before the mayor and fined, and we believe that the city could be run with revenue from other sources and we are conf dent that one blot from the name of Prescott would be removed if this section could be eliminated

to one plant per hill before it is ten inches high will. in most cases, pro duce more if not so thinned unless there are more than 25,000 plants per acre. Within reasonable limits the more plants per acre the greater the yield. Experiments show that 12-inch spacing produces 10 to 25 per cent more cotton than wider spacing.
 The use of 100 pounds per acre of nitrate of soda on poor or medium soils is usually profitable. It should be applied around the plants not later than the time at which they begin to bloom It should be covered immedi. ately by cultivating the crop.
 Summary Statements. ..
 There Is shortage Of cotton, not In the South but in the world. Cotton is necessary to both the army and the civilian population. Cottonseed prod ucts supply food, feed and ammunition.
 Two and three-horse cultiyators will help relieve the labor shortage.

COTTON MILL HELP
 BEAT THE GERMANS
Crops Produced For Food Should Re ceive First Attention, But World
 Needs Cotton.
By w. k. Ayers, Cotton Specialist, Ar kansas Experiment Station, U. of A

Crops produced primarily for food and feed should always receive first attention, but the world needs and must have cotton. Three successive short crops and the lack of steamer space have reduced the visible supply both at home and abroad to a danger ous minimum Another extremely short crop might be disastrous Cot ton is the basis of the principal ex plosives used by our armies ana na- Sies A twelve-inch gun uses half a bale at a shot and an active machine gun disposes of bale in less than five minutes. These demands are second ary only to food and feed and the world must be clothed besides. Cot ton clothes 80 per cent of the world and the warning nations have been patching their clothing for three years. IL must soon be renewed
 The seed from normal crop of cot ton will aid materially in relieving the food shortage. Cotton oil supplies half the lard or shortening fat used ia the United States today The seed from q bale of cotton produces meal equiv Rlent in feeding value-when properly balanced-to ten or twelve bushels of corn. The hulls from the seed of 10,000,00 bales of cotton will replace 1,500.000 tons of non-legume hay as feed for cattle
 II IS imperative that every acre of cotton produce maximum yield. To do this. proper cultivation is necessary The use of two-horSe and tWO-row Cul- tiNstors should be made the rule rath. CT than the exception. There is no bet ter implement for cultiyating small cotton than a cultiVatOr equipped with side harrow attachments or four small sweeps One man. two mules. and I Cultivator can do the work of two men and two mules working in the old way An average white man or d good negro can operate a tworow cultivator and do the work of four men and mules on large level fields where rows are reg ular and comparatively straight Shai. low cultivation often enough to keep down weeds and grass and preserve t mulch is necessary
 If il is necessary to speed up" the work al any time, a center furrow with large sweep or heel sweep will make mulch and kill maximum of grass and weeds in minimum of time A man and team and a Cultiyator equipped with two large sweeps can center furrow Is acres iu a day. With this done the crop will wait for other work.
 The best and most reliable labor should do the blowing. When blowing is needed men and mules should be al the blow, unless the land is too wet A man with cultivator or even sin gle blow can kill more grass and weeds in day than he can kill in weeks with hoe. When it is too wet to blow, all hands should hoe. 1t very seldom stays too wet to hoe more than few hours
