lions a fun opportunity to see it.
After driving through Puunene, the
procession will come to Waikiki.
where the committee is arranging a
program to be given in front of the
court house.
At a meeting held at the Baldwin
Bank, .Kahului, on Wednesday after
noon, the matter was gone over as
fully as possible, and subcommittee
appointed to carry out the details.
S. 70. Kalama, William Walsh and
J. c. Blair were named as a commit
tee to arrange for decorations, and
for the band. The streets are to be
decorated and owners of automobiles
are urged to decorate their cars ap-
propriately and to have them in the
procession.
II is stated hat the tank has a
speed of Is miles per hour, which
makes it practicable for it to take
part in the sort of parade planned for.
a committee was also appointed to
arrange the program for the evening.
It consists of C. d. Lufkin, H. B. Pen
hallow, and VIII. j. Cooper. 1t is
planned to have a number of brief
addresses on the Victory Loan.
SUBSCRIPTIONS Rather Slow
While the committee is not pessim-
istic over Maui's ability to take the
@3S0,000 Of notes assigned her, still
reports are not all that could be de-
sired in this connection.
At the meeting on Wednesday it
was brought out that the AZ percent
notes for 4 years, which the govern
ment is Offering this time, are far the
most attractive proposition in way of
a safe investment that has yet been
offered. The banks and trust COM
panies of the country could and
would doubtless take the whole issue,
if such were desirable, and be glad
to have them, but to permit this
would be to initiate credits in a way
that would not be healthful to the ma
ton, and would delay getting back on
a sound peace-time basis. The issue
should therefore to be of greatest
value, be spread out as thin as posi-
bic throughout the country.
While it is practically certain that
the bonds of the previous issues will
get to par i'll a year or two, after the
large quantity which are forced on
the market has ceased to be in ev-
idence, bankers believe there is littl
danger that the new Victory Loan
notes will ever go below par, for the
reason that they are too good an in
vestment and have too many attract
i've features.
"5-Minute" Speakers Busy
During the week Maui members of
the national organization known as
Four-Minute Speakers have been busy
in the various theaters talking on the
Victory Loan. The organization was
disbanded some time ago, and the
President asked at the time that the
name "Four-Minute Men" be not us
ed for other organizations. The
speaking this time is therefore not
under official auspices.
Under arrangement with the vari-
GUS theater homogeneous the speak
ers are talking for five minutes.
At the Waikiki Orpheum on Mon
day night, Judge Burr spoke. Rev. j.
c.. Villiers made the address on We'd
nesday evening and d. II. Case on
Thursday evening. N. K. Otsuka and
j. j. Walsh and w. +. Crockett spoke
during the week. Mr.. Walsh also
spoke at Lahaina on Wednesday even
ing, to a very large audience.
The speakers have been we'll re-
ceived and have apparently done much
to show the duty everyone owes to
buy this ''finish-up" bond issue to
the limit of every mes ability.
