Our Contemporaries
The Riuht Idea

Why cannot the Hilo County Fair
be revived? The two fairs of the past
were great success and the thousands
of visitors from the country districts
testified to the popularity of the pro-
position. Hilo carried out two excell-
ent fairs and there is a demand exist
ing now that there ne another big
agricultural show in the neal future,
and, thenceforth, every year.
The territorial fair, while most in
teresting to the people of Oahu and
a few of the better off residents of
the other islands, cannot compete in
interest with a purely county fair,
such as Maui has just pulled off and
such as Hilo carried out on two pre-
vious occasions. Something should be
done to start the ball rolling. Hoolulu
Park will be ready before very long
and what better location could be
wished for for a county fair?-Hilo

the PROSTATE trunk of a great tree, the
now hungry mixers proceeded to re-
lieve the boys of their doubly irksome
load. However, it was soon proved
that the boys while they were not
over-enthusiastic about carrying the
luncheon on their person, were dis
stinctly not averse to carrying them
on the inside and but little remained
of the generous repast. Pickles were
produced in abundance, and it was dis
covered that those who were most
proficient of getting pickles in, had
also a similar tendency to getting into
pickles. The jam was not discovered
until quite late, when it was eaten
as dessert, to the discomfort of it's
partakers, as there was no water near.
After the meal, while the rest of
the party were allowing their food to
settle, two of the most restless boys
climbed a tall tree, from the top of
which they proceeded to give a lively
personifcation of monkeys afflicted
with coolies. However, one of them
experienced considerable difficulty in
descending from his high perch, and
when he finally did reach terra irma
with the aid of gravity, he found to
the enjoyment of the company that
mother earth was still there and was
just as hard as ever after one had
penetrated the softer outer covering
of grass.
The return trip was without further
incident except that when the bridge
was reached, all descended to the
rocks and drank eagerly, and were
subsequently plentifully despatched
with cooling showers stirred up by
stones thrown by different members
of the party, not even Miss Patterson
escaping.
Upon their arrival at the Maui
Hotel, each of the tired picknickers
was treated to a generous serving of
delicious ice cream, for which they
are indebted to the generosity of the
Fields, to whom they wish to ex
press their sincere appreciation.

NEW SOLUTION TO

ant will own his suite. Work has al

building which will contain 164

now comes the cooperative apart

Ground has been broken on this
new departure. The building will
occupy an entire block within easy
distance of the business section of
the city, and each apartment will be
distinctly home, because families
with children have been especially
sought in making up the quota.
There will be covered balconies
on every floor, with large play

SHORTAGE OF
SILVER COINS
New York Theaters and Res
taurants Have Trouble
Making Change

| New York. Dec. 5.-The general
shortage of silver coins apparent in
the theater districts and in restau-
rants throughout New York during
! the past few weeks is reaching n Sc
rlous stage, according to c. p. Gren-
eker of the Shubert Company. who
mas investigated the coin situation. No
alleviation OF the existent condition
! is probable in the near future, he de-
! clares
/ Banks are alarmed over the silver
shortage. for the Treasury Depart
ment has shut down on them and they
are not able to get more than one
fifth OF the silver they ask for" said
Mr.. Greneker 1--WE have run short of
small change for more than a month
and our treasurers are required to go
to the car barns to get what silver
they need.
| Il can't understand just why this
situation should have come about and
bankers don't seem to know why the
Treasury refuses them their old por-
tions of silver. Every one knows that
virtually every business concern
which deals with money in coin form
is using more small change than ever
before because of the Government
taxes. but 1t seems that the Treas
ury officials should have made provi-
sions for this. as they did in the case
of pennies.
They coined an extra amount of
pennies when the war taxes first be-
came effective, but what we need now
are nickels and silver. However. the
whole situation seems to be only an
other phase of the general disorder
which prevails. and we will adjust
ourselves to it in some way"
Give Out Much Silver
The average theater gives out about
$500 or $500 worth of silver change
each day. while the movies must
handle an even larger sum. 1t is no
longer possible to make even change,
because of the Government taxes, 1t
of wealthy theater patrons to hand
nations has been extended to the pro-
fessional and laboring classes. which
complicates the theater managers
problem little more.
In case the scarcity of silver be-
comes more pronounced in order to
continue to carry on their business
uninterruptedly the theaters will be
forced to start an educational cam
paign through advertisement of the
situation and patrons will be urged to
bring the exact change for their
tickets. theater managers agree.
Theaters do not as a rule keep large
supplies of silver in their treasures tit
was said but when a shortage of this
kind of money becomes marked bank
ers make arrangements to protect the
theaters as far as possible.
The theory that the silver is being
taken out OF circulation by small
metal dealers who are melting il up
for resale, is disproved in financial
circles. Although the metal in the dol
lar now is worth $1.06 it would be
legally dangerous and a rather un-
profitable business, involving a COM
plicated system for collecting, melt
ing and dlsposing of the bullion If the
metal dealer should elect to increase
his income in this way.

The fact that prohibition might, in

came to light through the study of
the needs of the whole Episcopal
church in preparing it's budget of

luton OF reconstructive problems con-

One of the important problems
which the leaders of the nationwide

OF a substitute for the saloon. They
found this problem particularly press
ing in the case of the Church of Saint

may rest upon the Episcopal Church's
success in finding such a substitute.
