The Peace Resolution.

Almost a year and half have
passed since the cessation Of the
war. and only this week a resolu-
ton was introduced in Congress to
declare war at an end. The resolu.
ton, however, so far will remain
only resolution. as indications are
that President Wilson will not sign
1t; 1t will then go back to Congress,
where two-thirds Of the body's ap-
prevail is necessary to remove the
Presidents veto.
There is mention also in the reso-
luton of abolishing war time regu-
lations and acts that were passed
with a view to suppressing the lin
ternal enemy"

Fogarty Optimistic

Mr. Fogarty, who is connected W
some big financial interests in d a.
lulu, gave it as his opinion that tn.
price of sugar will remain around Is
or II cents a pound during 1921. He
bases his opinion upon the fact that
Cuba virtually controls the price and
that the 100000 or so tom of sugar
produced in that country sways the
market and that the comparatively
small crop OF Hawaiian sugar does
not affect the price at all. I'VE
swing in behind Cuba and the other
big sugar-producing countries" said
Fogarty, "and that is good enough for
us. The prospects for the future look
good to me-"
Good Future For Pines
Mr.. Fogarty also is a great believer
in pineapples and is deeply interested
in a big proposition of the kind on
Oahu. He and some others are de-
veloping a pineapple tract near Alewa
Heights, Honolulu, and already there
is a fine acreage under pines, with a
much enlarged tract to be put under
cultivation next season.
In addition to his Oahu property,
the Honolulu man has recently &C
quired a tract of land near Pahoa,
Puma, and he says that there will be
developments there in the neal flu
ture.-Hilo Tribune.

HOmeSteaderS OF
Kauai Doing Well

That the homesteaders of Kapaa,
Kauai, are doing remarkably well in
a financial way is reported by re-
cent visitors to the Garden Island.
d. L. Austin, of Honolulu, who vas
in Hilo last week, had been to Kauai
a few days before, and he declared
that the farmers who are raising cane
at Kapaa are coiIs1g money. All
have cozy little homes and more than
snug bank accounts. All are most
prosperous and the prospects for the
future look bright, declare those who
know of the excellent contract the
homesteaders have with the milling
company.
Three members of one family, for
mer residents of Honolulu, who had
had the ordinary luck of toilers for a
living in the city, but who were for
tunate enough to each secure a home
stead on Kauai, cleaned up, between
them 100000 in four years, according
to Eddie Fogarty, of Honolulu, who
also visited Hilo a few days ago.
Mr.. Austin speaks in glowing terms
of the success attained by the Kappa
cane farmers and predicts that the
homesteaders on the Waiakea lands
are in line for equal good fortune if
the price of sugar keeps up for a
few years longer.

Farmers Prosperous

ut was good to see the flourishing
homesteaders at Kapaa," said Austin,
land there is a very evident air of
prosperity throughout the district.
Automobiles are to be seer on every
side and there are many other indi-
cations of real comfort. l am not a
sugar expert, or a prophet, but l feel
inclined to believe that the price of
sugar will never drop below 10 cents
a pound again. 1t cannot be expected
that the present high price will pre-
vail for longer than, possibly, one
more crop, but l feel sure that what
E,uct be considered an excellent price
will be maintained for a long time to
come"
