Why Colds are Dangerous.

You are often told to "beware of
a cold," but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality and paves the way for the
more serious diseases. People who
contract pneumonia, first take cold.
The longer cold hangs on, the great
er the danger, especially from the
germ diseases, as cold prepares the
system for the reception and devel-
opment of the germs of consumption,
diphtheria, scarlet fever and whoop-
ing cough. The quicker you get rid
of your cold, the less the danger of
contracting one of these diseases
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has 9.
great reputation as cure for colds
and can be depended upon. 1t is
pleasant to take.

Shall a Territorial Fair Be Held
In Honolulu In Nineteen Twenty?


The Fair Commission of Hawaii is
particularly anxious to elicit public
opinion regarding the ACCESSIBILITY and
desirability of holding a territorial
fair on a large scale during the year
1920, and as to whether the thinking
public considers hat it will prove
practicable and profitable.
The territorial law requires that a
fair shall be held annually in the City
and County of Honolulu. However,
should it prove impracticable and un-
desirable, and public sentiment indi-
Gates it's disfavor of a territorial fair
along the lines and on the scale on
which our two territorial fairs have
been launched and held, an evasion of
this law might be c~ountenanced by our
holding in a modified degree to the
letter of the legislative enactment, by
simply holding a carnival, fiesta, or
public entertainment, which might be
styled or considered a fair.
Benefits Derived
That our territorial fairs have done
much to improve the conditions on
our stock farms and ranches, and pro-
NOTED a distinct interest in our farm
products and livestock, cannot be gain
said. That the territorial fair has
furnished amusement, recreation, and
has promoted a wholesome intercourse
among u Island people is distinctly
a fact. .
Financially, the fair entailed a con-
siderable outlay, but the income and
property account up to the closing of
this years account approximately
balanced all of the outlay which has
been made.
The efforts of the commission and
committeeman have been sincere and
conscientious, and we feel have pro-
duced gratifying results.
The fair commission is conscious of
many conditions which confront us
and We are thoroughly aware that,
taking into consideration the Maui

Company ran at a loss of 1920, 900 last
year. So says President j. A. Ken

Herald. Practically coincident with
ment of the regular monthly dividend
of rs cents a share. Nine per cent a
year CASUALLY with eXtras). If the
shipping division of the company has
stood a severe loss, and if in spite of
this fact other divisions of the concern
are able not only to recoup that loss,
but to pay the stockholders a regular
monthly dividend of IS cents a share,
there is something decidedly wrong.
AS the Inter-Island is a public service
corporation, the public is entitled to
know what it is.
If Mr.. Kennedy's figures are correct
(and he certainly ought to know,
either the transportation end of the
business is having chalked up against
it charges not properly attributable to
its expenses; or the ship ~chandlery,
coal pile, drydocks, and other activl-
ties of the company are charging pro-
fiteer prices; or both.
1t is inconceivable in this day of
business efficiency, and monstrous un-
der the direction of businessmen as
astute as Mr.. Kennedy and his assoc!-
ates, that any commercial enterprise
would operate at any such annual loss
as the shipping end of the Inter-Is-
land is represented to net to its stock
holders.
From this showing it would appear
that the stockholders would net vast
ly greater returns each year if the
shipping end We're entirely discon-
tinued. Thus it is apparent that it
is nothing short of the love of the
composite Damon, made up of Inter
Island stockholders, for the equally
composite Pythias of the public, that
]persuades the company to continue it's
course of altruistic service, and un-
co~mplainingly pocket its annual loss
in excess of $500, 900.
Yes, yes, of course. How perfectly
simple! How infinitely touching! and
how stupid of us not to have realized
the fact before!

distinguished visitor, DR.. Bunker Ct

stayed a few minutes in each room.
On Wednesday he made a special
trip to Paia to attend our opening eX-

Il morning hymn and the school or
chestra played two selections. Then
DR.. Bunker made a fine speech. He
said that it was the first time he had

County Fair, the Territory has been
pretty well fed up on projects of this
nature during the Il months since
the first territorial fair was inaugural
ed. The fair commission as well as
the committeeman are particularly
conscious of the amount of energy and
effort required satisfactorily to create,
promote and conduct a territorial fair
on the scale of the 1888 fairs. We
are also mindful of the intent and pur-
pose of the act of the legislature creat-
ing the fair commission, and are re-
minded by our Governor Hon. C. j.
Mccarthy, of the necessity and adj
visibility of improving and charging
upon our territorial resources, and
also of the duty which we hold to the
community to promote and create by
process of education a distinct and
practical improvement in all lines of
industry and food supply.
Public Opinion Sought
Without wishing to urge or present
any argument for or against the hold
ing of a territorial fair during the year
1920, we are sincerely anxious to OBJ
tain public opinion and advice in con
nection with this matter, and trust
that we may have voiced through the
public press and through other COM
munications a wide range of comment
on the question presented.
We have repeatedly represented
that the territorial fair is a territorial
and public institution. It is a Great
ure of the public and for the public
benefit, and cannot in any way be a
success without the hearty support of
the general public.
We sincerely hope that thought and
consideration will be given this mat
ter, and that the fair commission will
have a reasonable indication of how
a 1920 fair might be regarded and as
to whether or not a territorial fair
should be attempted this coming year.
