In Hawaii County the board of supervisors have appropriated
$4,000 for child welfare and $500 for Father Louis home. Maui
County contributes $32,5 500 for child welfare and $4,000 for the sup
port of indigents. There a difference and it is by no means to the
dscredit of Maui County.

japanese immigration to the Territory of Hawaii decreased sS
percent from 1919 figures and in the same time immigration to the
United States mainland increased Is percent. Nearly four times as
many went to the mainland as came to Hawaii.

In the Hawaii county budget appears an item of $4,000 for trans
portation of children to schools. Iii evidence a start in the transpor-
tation problem can be made in a small way and that to make such a
start would not mean an increase of one percent in tax rate but, on
the contrary, could be made without the tax payer feeling it.
The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1920-12-24

Governor Mccarthy has expressed the wish that if Waikiki wants
the appropriation for lao Valley road, the $4,000 i'll bonds be taker
by the first of the year. A start has been made in taking subscriptions
for them and it remains to see what will develop in the next week.

GERMAN MARKS ABROAD
LOSE BUYING VALUE

BREMEN, Germany. March 1 (corre-
spondence Of the Associated Press).-
President Craemer OF the Bremen
Cotton Exchange says he believes the
time is not far distant when 1t will
be utterly impossible for Germans
to buy commodities abroad with Ger
man marks.
In conference with Berlin gov
ernment officials here he said: Until
recently we have been able to buy
American cotton with American dol
lars that we picked up in nearby neu-
trail countries at the best possible
rate of exchange. We must not cease
buying cotton so long as the means
remains at our disposal. for the Ger
man cotton industry is at present
operating to the extent Of 80 per
cent of it's capacity. OF every two
bales of cotton we import only one
must be used to clothe our people;
the other must be converted into nm
ished products. tho sale of which
abroad will provide Us with means
to pay for both bales"

Irv Cobb Cultivates LAUGHS
A Golden Harvest Is the Hope of the Rotund
IIu1norlst
HurnOrlst

N q preface, disguised as an in
troductory CHAPTER to The Aban-
N. doned Farmers (Doran), Irwin
cobb makes some rather interest
ing suggestions. He explains that the
book, chronologicaly considered, COW
ers six-year period in his writing
career, measuring-as we understand
1.-THE approximate length of time re-
CURED by leading heavyweight humor-
lst to transplant himself and his trap
pings from the city to the farm. II is
Mr.. Cobb's quaint idea that this af-
lords the reader an opportunity to
decide whether with the passage of time
his style Of writing shows "a tendency
toward improvement or an increasing
and enhanced faultiness"
We accept his challenge on the spot,
blinking enc e,e in friendly fashion at
his line about being ever ready to wei
come criticism. provided only the criti-
cism be fav9r-y.e in tone" From his
earliest chapter we select a single para
graph into which Mr.. Cobb congresses
all he has to offer on the subject of null
berries.
The Mu1cllum
"The mulberry, as all know" he
writes, sis one Of our most abundant
small fruits; but many have objected
to it on account of its woolly appear
ance and slightly caterpillary taste
My idea was to cross the mulberry on
the slippery elm pronounced, where
come from, ellum-producing fruit
which shall call the mulellum. This
fruit would combine the health giving
qualities of the mulberry with the
agreeable smoothness Of the slippery
elm; in fact, if my plans worked out,
should have berry that would 60
down 60 slick the consumer could not
taste it at all unless he should eat too
many OF them and suffer from indiges-
ton afterward."
This does well enough. Many a
humorist might be stumped to pro-
duce more than a line about the mul-
berry But now, turning to the last
chapter, written in the comparative
present, read MI. Cobbs sketch of the
COW:
Generally speaking, cows, so far as
my personal knowledge went, were di-
vided roughly into regular cows running
true to sex, and the other kind of COWS,
which were invariably referred to with
a deep blush by old fashioned maiden
ladies. True enough, we owned cows
during the earlier stages of our rural
life; in fact, we own one now, mild

and foolish. At the same time he does
not believe that the Bolsheviki can alb
solve themselves from responsibility
for the present plight of Russia by
pointing to the blockade. The hos.
tility Of the Allied powers, he con-
tends, should have been foreseen by
the makers of the November rcvolu-
ton.
Two Contending Factions
Mr.. Russell declares that two fac
tions are contending for mastery with
in the ranks of the Bolsheviki them
selves. One group favors scrappng
at least temporarily the ambitious pro-
gram of world revolution and opening
ur trade relations with captalistic
countries. The more extreme Com
munists, on the other hand believe
that no stable or satisfactory peace
can be concluded with the outside world
and advocate an aggressive campaign
to subvert foreign governments, ap-
pealing to the nationalistic aspirations
Of the Asiatic peoples and using the
Third lnternationale as an instrument
of worldwide propaganda The rela-
tive weight of these two factions de-
ponds upon the military success of
the Red army.
Russell is not very good reporter.
Preoccupied with abstract ideas, he
does not possess the instinct for mi
mute. accurate observation of details
In point of color and vividness his
book suffers by comparison with the
reports of Arthur Ransome, Lincoln
Eyre and H. G. Wells. On the other
hand he towers above almost all the
observers of the Russian Revolution by
virtue of his historical knowledge and
his psychological insight. His book
is quite short, but it fairly bristles
with fruitful, provocative ideas.
The author is disillusioncd with Boil
shevism, but not witk theoretical COM
munism. He stil believes in the pos
sibility of binding up a Socialist So
cicty by gradual, democratic process
which shall avoid the hatred, the vio-
lence, the widespread war and misery
which have condemned the Russian ex-
pertinent to failure in advance. He
states his hope and his ideal for the
future in the following passage:
Hope for the Future
Russian communism may fail and
go under, but communism itself will
not die. And if hope rather than
hatred inspires its advocates, it can be
brought about without the universal
cataclysm preached by Moscow. The
war and its sequel have proved the
destructiveness of capitalism; let us
see to it that the next epoch does not
prove the still greater destructveness
Of communism, but rather its power
to heal the wounds which the old evil
system has inflicted upon the human
spirit"

might say, upon the lap of the gods"
