baby Bonds" Sold
in Theatre Last Sat.

DR.. A. L. Andrews, a professor in
the College of Hawaii, and who is
visitor, in company with his wife on
Kauai this week, in the interest of the
War Savings Stamps campaign, gave
very interesting four minute talk
on that subject last Saturday evening
at the Tip Top. During the intermis-
sion between the pictures, stamps
were sold by bevy Of the young
ladies of Lihue and nearly three hun
dred dollars worth were disposed Of
The children all bought thrift stamps
and of course the grown ups took the
war savings stamps. During the day
some five hundred dollars worth were
sold by a committee of the women of
this section.
Mr.. Andrews is also investigating
the number of feeble minded persons
that we have on this Island, as he is
a member of the commission that has
just been appointed by Governor Nc
Carthy to look up these people, so that
the Territory can devise some means
of taking care of them in the future.

Thinks Investigation
Should be Made

Editor, Garden Island
Both the Administration in Wash
ington and at Honolulu are anxious to
see Homesteaders on the public lands
of Hawaii With the present ZAP
praised Value" set by a committee of
three, it is impossible for the man of
average means to acquire a home
stead. Some lots would require as
much as $4,000 and who among pro-
spective homesteaders are in a posi-
ton to put up such an enormous sum?
Congress wishes farmers to take up
100 acres, practically given them for
nothing; why then these enormous
Appraised Values" on land in Hawaii?
There must indeed be a niger in the
woodpile and it is to be hoped that
this matter will be called to the at
tension of the proper authorities and
that an investigation be ordered to
give relief to poor land hungry peo-
pie.
Thanking you for space, Yours truly,
"X."

NRS. A. |. ANDREWS
GIVES GOOD TALK

IIrs. A. L. Andrews, of the Women's
department. of the Food Administra-
ton Of Honolulu, spoke Before the
local committee last Saturday after.
noon in the Lihue Social Hall.
Mrs. Andrews told her audience of
the work of the Food Administration
on the mainland, and also what the
local one was doing on the different
Islands. She made a most interesting
talk and brought out many points
which had not been quite clear to the
local committee.
In one part of her talk, she was
speaking of the food commission which
Mr.. Hoover sent to England to secure
data in regard to the food situation.
The committee was in the Office Of
the British Food Controller, the late
Lord Rhonda. when a telegram was
received from Mr.. Hoover saying, I'VE
have shipped the last of the 1917
crop of wheat, and all that you will
get from now to the next harvest will
be what the Americans can save"
Lord Rhonda pulled down the top
of his desk and said, Gentlemen, we
are beaten, we may as well quit right
now" One of the American Commits
sion spoke up, mot that anyone knows
of, you don't know the American peO-
pie" The Englishmen were so brigh-
tened up by this remark, that they
took fresh heart and opened up shop
Tor rather their desks) again.
"The result of this American saving
is we'll known" said Mrs. Andrews.
1T was some S5,O0OOOO bushels, and
that has been sent over, and this is
what has kept the Allies from starv.
ing. The most of this vast amount
of wheat that was saved was done SO
by the American housewife, of which
the women of Hawaii have done their
part. This was the reason for the
famous No Wheat Pledge which you
were asked to sign, and which you did
sign"

SOME DIFFERENCE Of
OPINION BETWEEN HOME.
STEADERS AND PLANTERS

There is a Slight difference OF opin
ion between the homesteaders, or that
is some of them, and the planters, or
several of the sections of the new con
tract that has just been drawn up by
the Territorial Government, for the
homesteaders and the planters. The
homesteaders seem to think that the
government has made an error in ac
cepting the modified form of an old
Olaa contract as the basis of this new
contract, and think that several chang
es should be made in some of the
clauses therein.
Mr.. e. NJ. Theatham, a homesteadel
of the Kapaa group has stated the
causes of this dssention very clearly
for the homesteaders and no doubt but
the planters will come to some very
satisfactory agreement with the home
steaders as they have shown very
decided adaptability in the matter OF
this new contract.
The points that are most in the
limelight in this controversy are stat
ed from the homesteaders point of
view by Mr.. Cheatham as follows:
81 have spent considerable time the
past few days, studying and compar-
ing the form of contract as printed in
last Tuesdays Advertiser and purport-
ing to be the form agreed upon be-
tween the Attorney General and the
Planters representatives, as that
which will be offered homesteaders by
the plantations in the future.
"As a result, can scarcely believe
that the Administration has agreed to
or seriously considered such a form
and hope that the Advertisers infor-
nation is incorrect.
at is in its final analysis no better
than the now famous 80 cent contract
offered Kapaa homesteaders in 1913
by the Makee Sugar Co., which was
so onesided and inequitable that it
brought indignant protests from all
united Kauai and individuals from all
parts of the Territory and resulted in
activities that finally brought the Ii
hue plantation into the field as a com
petitor of Makee, both companies then
giving fair contracts. This has result
ed in a complete success of the entire
Kapaa proposition and some 120 fam
ilies living amid comfortable surround
ings and raising up their children along
liberal American standards. These
contracts have made possible the
homes and farmlike appearance of the
country, upon which the Governor re-
Gently was pleased to comment.
Under the proposed contract, such
results will be impossible, further,
even the great start at Kapaa will go
by the board in a few years, for as
fast as the contracts expire there, it
is not reasonable to expect the planta.
tions to offer any better form of a
new contract than that which the gov.
ernment is asking for the new home
steaders.
THE great defects from the home
steaders point of view are, % that he
has to pay the entire cost of laying
portable track from the main line, OF
the erecting of fumes; CD that he
has deducted per cent for trash

AS represented by this table it is
evident that there is a wide range of
difference in the amount which store
can cut down it's flour sales. The
nationality of the customers dealing
with the store would materially affect
these figures, as it is evident that
some nationalities have more Difficult
ties in using the substitutes than 9th
ers.
The showing made by these stores
on Kauai are good on the whole, and
tend to show what can be done where
cooperation and desire to help the
Government exists. The amount of
wheat that America has been able to
ship to the Allies on account of this
saving is large. 1t is true that Amer
lea as a whole saved enough wheat
to prevent our Allies from starvation,
and that the stores have helped very
materially in this saving. Now that
Mr.. Hoover is attempting to store a
reserve of wheat, let US continue to
keep up the good work and let those
stores on Kauai who have fallen a
little behind in wheat saving cut
down their sales of wheat flour.
A great deal has been heard and
said about the price of substitutes.
Let us see more corn meal mills in
use. The Makee Sugar Company has
installed a corn meal mill and at pre-
sent all corn meal and corn flour sold
at the Kealia Store is made on the
plantation, by this mill, the corn being
grown on the plantation as well. This
is an excellent plan for conservation.
1t means a steady supply of fresh corn
meal for the plantation store land we
won't hear the old kick about wormy
substitutes.
The Makee Sugar Company's corn
meal mill has a fairly large capacity
and outsiders having corn to be
