PRESIDENT ASKS
PEOPLE TO Save
Requested to Buy Only Things
Necessary to Health
and Efficiency.
THRIFT PLEDGE ALSO ASKED
All Citizens Must Be Economically
Adjusted TO War Conditions II
Nation Is to Play Its
Part in Conflict.

Washington. u. C.-To save nate
rails and labor for necessary war pur-
poses. President Wilson appealed TO
Americans "to buy only those things
which are essential TO the individual
health and efficiency" and to volun-
teer on or before June 2S, National
Thrift day, to invest Systematically in
War Savings and Thrift Stamps, or
other government securities.
"This war is one of nations--not OF
armies" said the president, land all
of our 1000O0000 people must be
economically and industrially adjusted
to war conditions If this nation is to
play its full part in the conflict.
Pledge Is Sought.
1.-THE problem before us is not pri-
marily a financial problem, but rather
problem Of increased production OF
war essentials and the saving Of the
materials and the labor necessary for
the support and equipment of our
army and navy. Thoughtless eXpendi-
ture of money for nOnesSentlals uses
up the labor of men, the products OF
the farm, mines, and factories, and
overburdens transportation, all OF
which must be used to the utmost and
at their best for war purposes.
1.-THE great results which we seek
can be obtained only by the particlpa-
ton of young and old in q national
thrift movement. | therefore urge
that our people everywhere pledge
themselves, as suggested by the secre-
tary Of the treasury, to the practice OF
thrift; to serve the government to
their utmost in increasing production
I'm all fields necessary TO the winning
of the war; to conserve food and fuel
and useful materials of every kind; to
devote their labor only TO the most
necessary tasks, and to buy only those
things which are essential to individ-
ual health and efficiency.
"5uy More U. S. Securities"
1.-THE securities issued by the treas
ury department are, so many of them.
within the reach of every one that the
door of opportunity in this matter is
wide open to all of us.
81 appeal to all who now own either
Liberty bonds or War Savings stamps
to continue to practice economy and
thrift and to appeal to all who do not
own government securities to do like
wise and purchase them to the extent
of their means. The man who buys
government securities transfers the
purchasing power of his money to the
United States government until after
this war, and to that same degree does
not buy In competition with the gov
eminent.
81 earnestly appeal to every man,
woman and child 10 pledge themselves
on or before June 2S to save constant
ly and to buy as regularly as possible
the securities of the government.
The 2Sth of June ends this special
period of enlistment in the great vol
unteer army of production and seving
here Mt home. May there be none I'M
enlisted on that day"

HAWAIIAN Refined ..
SHIPPED 70 COAST

When III" Mun"n left this week it
took $500 tons Of raw sugar and about
a thousand tons Of refined. With so
much raw awaiting shipment and the
Eastern refnrrres clamoring for more
raws this would appear odd bat IT can
be accounted for by the saving which
Hawaii is voluntarily making in the
use Of refined sugar. Many people in
the ISInnde who formerly used refined
sugar are now using washed sugar In
order 10 reduce the home consumption
ON refined At the same time they
are rIfrctlng some saving by the plan.
Hawaii does not manufacture much
refined sugar with only one refinery
operating. Last year there we're coh7

there were imports to make up for

Nm OAieial memorandum issued by

crop of t0IT-lS, the harvest Of which
is now conIiag to an END, Indicates
that it viii be one of the largest in
the long history of the industry IN
hat country. The hemotandHrh states
that reports furnished by provinces
which coirtain 90 perceht8of the total
area under cane in India give an est
mated production Of 1915, 900 ordinary
tons, In addition, q production of 32
600 tous is estimated for other small
scattered areas. This is an increase
of 5Gl 900 tons over the crop Of 1916

OF CROP
IS TAKEN FROM CUBA
Last Quarter of Production Sc
cured For Allies '

Purchase of the remaining quarter
OF thC Cuban sugar crop by the Inter
Allied sugar commission is reported by
Associated Press dispatches from Hay-
ana which were received yesterday.
These dispatches did not mention the
price which is to he paid but it is as
sunred that II is The same as the present
price or some mention Of the change
would have been made. If such Is the
case il effectually sets at rest Tumors
of an impending increase in price.
Taking of the other quarter Of the
crop gives to the Allies practically the
entire crop Mexico has clamOred for
sugar aud has received small quaint
ties but only such as could be trans
ported in small sailing vessels.
Securing Of this sugar and aN0idanc"
Of competition among the Allies for
its purchase has stabilized prices amoQg
those countries. The price for refined
sugar including IMPORTS, on May !,
was New York $50; Montreal, S.O7i
London, 1880; Paris, 1928, with a
probable increase coming, and Rome
26.3 cents.

MOBILIZATION MAY .
AFFECT FIELD WORK
Planters Confident Government
Will Do All Possible To
Avoid Hardship

Hawaii awaits news Of the mobfliza-
which announcements has been mHde
that it NAV come ut any time. The
sugar industry is not interested so much
III the draft as in the mobilization Of
the guard since under the draft planta-
tion workers have been given a defer
red classification.
With the mobilization of the guard
it is different. The expectation is that
the first regiment will be first mObiliZ-
ed If that is done thore is a rbatth-
lion that has been raised in the planta-
tons of this island. They would be
called out and the labor situation will
be that much affected. When the other
militia il modified the other islands
will be even more affected
1t is suggested that after mobilization
and time Of training the plantation
workers who are modified into the
guard will be gwen furloughs and per
mitted to return to work in the cane
felds"the same rs it is proposed to per
init men in training on the mainland ia
return to the farms from which they
came and to assist in the harvesting OF
the crops.
Beyond doubt when draft and mobil
izntion comes the sugar industry will
feel the effect Of it and will have tC
! adjust itself to conditions. Little feaI
is expressed by the planters anS there
is serene confidence that the govern
ment will see that the sugar industry
! does NOT suffer unnecessarily. Never
| theless the sugar growers would like
to know just what arrangements ar,
to be made
