Bertenmann Grave is
Opened by ChOuls

The grave of the late c. b. Bertel-
mann at Kamoku. has been opened
and the contents scattered over the
ground. The discovery was made
a week ago last Monday and
Deputy Sheriff Werner was notified
of the fact.
From Investigations made by Mr..
Werner it is believed that some Fill
pinos who were discharged from the
Kilauea Plantation about the time
the grave was opened, are responsible
for the deed. Sufficient evidence to
warrant holding the men, however is
lacking.
1t is supposed that robbery was
the motive for this dasterdly deed
as sometimes valuables are buried in
the graves with the remains. If this
was the case the robbers were sadly
disappointed.

What Canada Does
With Her Slackers

Editor Garden Island:
Noting with satisfaction the atti.
tude of your paper on the now motor.
ious Stacker" question of Kauai
the following taken from the London
Mail in its issue of the 18th April,
1918, may be of some interest to your
readers, as showing what is being
done in Canada to the Stacker breed
of that country.
The excerpt reads as follows:
PRISON LIFE FOR sLAcKERs
Three objectors to military serv.
ice have been sentenced at Calgary
to five years Imprisonment with
hard labour.
Twenty men have also been ar
rested at Calgary under the new
regulations which provide fines and
imprisonment for idleness."
The presumption is, from the fore
going, that in the Canadian West the
Stacker takes rank as a criminal.
Yours truly,
r. w. T. PURVIS.

R. D. Moler Manager
Of Lihue Plantation

r. ID. Moler of the McBryde Plant.
alton was elected manager of the
Lihue Plantation at a meeting of the
Board of Directors of that Plantation
which was held in Honolulu last
week. The selection of Mr.. Moler
for this important position is con-
sidered by plantation men to be a
very wise choice. Being connected
with McBryde Plantation for a mum
Der of years as head luna, he has de-
cidedly made good in that capacity
and has fitted himself for the very
important place that has just been
rendered him. The Moler family will
be a very welcome addition to the
Lihue community

THAT KID O'MINE.

You orter see that kid o'mine
Who uster to work from six to nine
Holm potaters, raking hay
And whistlin' the whole durn live
long day.
Six feet two he was, and thin,
And when he walked his toes turned
in.
He wasn't much on looks, ! vow,
But, gosh, you Orter see him now.
When the war come on he couldn't
stay
And see the others go away;
So off he went. the fine young scamp,
And Joined that soldiers trainin'
camp.
He isn't pigeon-toed no more,
When he goes struttin cross the
floor
With metal buttons on his chest
And olive drab and all the rest
And when gets out there in France
Old Kaiser Bill won't have a chance
OF beatin' out that kid o'mine
Who ulster work from six till nine,

The following is supplementary re-
port of Mr.. Watts, showing what the
plantations on Kauai are doing in
the way of food production. All
plantations are urged to do more in
the way of production and make
themselves as near self-supporting as
possible.
Food production by the sugar Com.
panies and plantations on Kauai is
ing on all of the plantations on the
other islands. The laborers on all
of the plantations are producing,
from house gardens and small plats
of land given to them by the planta-
tions, enough garden truck to supply
their own wants.
With few exceptions the planta-
tion companies have not paid any
attention to the growing of diversi-
fled crops. Below in this report is
a short outline of what each planta-
tion is doing or intends doing in
planting other crops than sugar.
thousands OF acres of Govern
ment land is going out of cultivation.
This land has been producing fine
crops of sugar cane but the leases
have expired or are about to ex-
pire and no provisions have been
made to keep it in cultivation. The
land has not been home-steaded and
the present lessees have been un-
able to make arrangements with the
Territorial Government to keep them
in continuous cultivation until such
time as these lands can be home
steaded 1t is not for me to say who
is, or who is not responsible for this
condition of affairs. Someone is
"asleep at the switch" Two or three
years from now the annual sugar
crop of the Islands will be reduced
by some 40 $4,000 tons of sugar be-
years. The Hlo Board of Trade and
the Honolulu Chamber of Commerce
have taken up this matter, bue in the
meantime much of the land is grow
ing into a jungle of brush and weeds
and it will cost hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to bring it back to
the high state of cultivation in

"A Report From the Front" was

audience failed to see the joke. One
man had just returned from the front
and was telling his friend of some of

Gordon H. True Will
Judge the Livestock

Gordon II. True, head of the rnr
eau of animal husbandry at theUni-
versity of California, will act as
Judge of livestock at the Territorial
Fair, June 10th to 18th. This assu-
rance was received last week. in a
cable from the professor TO the live
stock committee. Professor True was
recommended to the Fair Commiss-
ion by the California Breeders AS
sociation, as the best possible judge
available.
The University of California man
is one of the best known livestock
experts on the Coast. His promise to
assist at the Territorial Fair is the
final detail needed to insure the sue
cess of the show. Nearly 800 entries
have been filed, for horses, cattle,
swine and sheep. Island firms and
individuals have donated more than
forty beautiful silver cups, which
will be offered as special prizes in
the different departments. In addit-
ion to these specials, several hundred
regular awards, in the form of rib
bons, will be given for first, second
and third places in various classes.
The entries filed show that the
stiffest kind of competition may be
expected to develop in many classes,
with from five to a dozen individual
animals contesting for honors. Ev-
cry indication points to an aggrega-
tion of the finest specimens, import
ed and homegrown, that ever has as
sembled in the Territory.
Whether Professor True will judge
in all departments is not known yet,
though it is hoped he will be able to
make the official inspections of
horses, cattle, hogs and sheep. In
case he does not, a local man of re-
cognized ability will be chosen to
serve in the remaining divisions.
