Beppu was working with a number

Maui Women Oppose
UnSightIy Cottages
Spoil Hospital Grounds Is Claim
Meeting With Supervisors This Af-
ternoOn-May Have Property Con-
demned

The Woman's Club has started a
crusade TO stop if possible the erection
of a number of cheap cottages on the
land between the Knights of Pythias
property and that of the Malulani hos
pital.
A committee of the organization
waited upon C. d. Luflin, of the Bank
of Maui, some days ago, the bank
holding a lease on the land which it
has sub-leased to japanese who is
building the cottages objected to. Mr..
Lufkin stated to the committee that
the matter was out of his hands and
that he could do nothing.
Just what the next step the women
will take is not known, but it is under
stood that they have not yet given
up the fight. 1t is possible that they
will begin a campaign to induce the
county supervisors to condemn the
property and add it to the hospital
grounds. This has been considered
some months ago but was dismissed
for the time being on account of lack
OF funds.
A committee of the women's organi-
zation is meeting with the supervisors
this afternoon by appointment to dis
cuss the matter. 1t is probable that it
will be gone into prety thoroughly.
How The Matter Stands
The property in question is owned
by the Wailuku Sugar Co. 1t was
formerly leased to the Maui Wine &
Liquor Co.. and the lease had years
to run when the liquor concern went
to the wall The bank took over the
lease as one of the assets and obtain.
ed a 6-year extension from Manager
Penhallow of the sugar company. II
then sub-leased to the Japanese who
is erecting small houses out of oil
lumber which he purposes renting to
laborers.
Supervisor d. T. Fleming made a
protest to number of Wailullu resi-
dents against the building plan some
time before the construction started
and Lufkin in a letter to the super
visors offered to sell the banks
leasehold to the county, stat
ing that the Japanese sub-lessee had
agreed to surrender his claim also
The county replied that it had nc
funds for the purpose and the matter
dropped for the time being.
Condemnation Only Hope
Apparently the only legal restric
tions in the matter of the buildings
going up are those of the health de
partment which will require them tC
be kept sanitary, and there seems tC
be no way to prevent the use of the
property in any way the holders sec
fit so long as it is not a menace tC
the community.
At the time of a public conference
On the matter of the Malulani Hospi
tai, last summer, it was the cOnsensu,
of opinion that the hospital should bc
retained in its present location, bu
the idea then seemed to be that ulti
mately the county should acquire al
the property in the junction Of Mair
street and Mill Road including the
X. of p. property and the Wailulll
Sugar Co.'S holdings now in question
The proposal is now put forward tina
the county proceed to condemn all o
this property and thus solve the prob
lem which is proving veXatious to
good many persons. Whether the wO
mans club will take this view as thu
only feasible way out of the difficult!
will possibly be decided at the mex
meeting of the organization.

Sacred Concert Was
Delightful Success

The sacred concert last Friday even
ing in the new St AnIhony's church
was one oi the most enjoyable musi-
cal events ever given on Maui. 1t was
very largely attended. A number of
vocal solos by Mrs. l.. c. Jones and
II. w. Baldwin were especially fine,
and the chorus work of the church
choir was extremely effective.
The violin duets by X. j. Zedtwitz
and f. Almeida and the concert sell
ections by c. d. Lufkin were highly
artistic and greatly enjoyed Mrs. j.
H. Kunewa presided at the organ and
directed the choir in the opening and

Just Folks
BY Edgar A. Guest.
A LOVE SONG.

Oh, | can slave for the yellow gold
And battle for earthly fame,
! can go to the end of a purpose bold :,
Its splendid reward to claim;
Some pleasures there are which depend
And the deeds which my strength can
do,
But the smile that / hunger each day
Must be fashioned, my dear, by you
j can stand alone at my task each day
And buy what the flesh may need,
But Id soon grow lonely and old and gray
In serving O selfish creed:
For the spirit needs more than stran-
gers cheer
Or O glimpse OF a sky Of blue,
And this world TO me would be cold
and drear
If it weren't for the love Of you.
Oh, nothing that / have the skill to do
Can comfort this heart of mine,
For myself I'd never a goal pursue
Or follow purpose fine;
And If all the wealth Of the world had,
With its feeting glory, too.
I'd still be lonely old man and sad
II | couldn't come home to you.
couldn't be happy without you, dear,
Nor strong in the time of test,
IL Is only because | feel you're near
That ! struggle to do my best,
For after the cares and the hours Of strife
Are closed and the day is through,
must still depend for the JOY Of life
On the smile which get from you.

SIZING UP PEOPLE.

Some Of us are very much given TO the
practice of what we term Sizing up
people. We say with certain degree OF
pride that we can tell almost at glance
the kind of person a stranger Is imme-
diately upon his introduction to US, and
we attribute this knowledge to a highly
developed intuition on our part, which
we apparently believe in putting into con-
slant practice. 1t sometimes happens, IN.
deed, that we are able to judge new
acquaintance pretty fairly and then We
congratulate ourselves upon our ability to
read character correctly.
There are few persons, however, who do
not fail at times in their estimate OF
human nature 1t is great gift, this
ability to know how to size up people
as TO their honesty, their sincerity, their
good faith, their energy and the many
other fine traits which distinguish good
and strong men, but it is a gift that Is sub
ject TO abuse unless we are very cautious
in our use of it. 1t Is easy TO give way to
our prejudices; too easy, in fact, for our
own good and that of our feliowmen, and
it is largely our intolerance of opinion that
sometimes makes intercourse with others
so hard road to travel.-Charleston

Protection for Game.

The count of the seals in our Alaskan
| territory shows the herd that had been re-
duced almost to the vanishing point by
the greedy hunters has advanced until it
now numbers 100000 and under contin-
ued protection will soon get back to more
than q million. Last year 26,000 Of these
fur-bearing animals were killed after a
judicious marking of the ones TO be dis
posed of for the betterment of the tribe.
These figures are interesting in showing
how quickly wild animals, game and fish.
remultiply if they are protected against
indiscriminate slaughter They Illustrate
how our rapidly disappearing crabs. for
example. might be spared if they, too, had
a respite from the nets of the avaricious,
wasteful fishermen. They also show how
rapidly our game birds would return if the
guns were silenced for q season or two
before they become extinct. We read In
some OF the old time accounts of shooting
here that the rail and reed birds were so
abundant that when the latter rose in
fiocks thev almost obscured the sun. and
we recall that several years ago four Viii
mington glnners bagged more than a
thousand rail birds on two tides.
The return of the seal illustrates how
promptly the animals respond to the pro-
lection that does not require them to be
eternally dodging death in one form or
another. When the herd regains its norm
al size, the yearly toll, the removal Of the
disturbing members, viii afford large
supply of fur and at the same time benefit
the survivors of the group.
If we could apply the same law to the
animals about us for the preservation OF
the birds and wild fowl and for the pro-
lection of fish and oysters and crabs,
indeed for the conservation of all food or
creatures, We would fnd our
selves much better off and much less like
ly TO be forced to forego the enjoyment Of
such delicacies as the shad, the terrapin.
quail and the reed and rail bird, which
now seems imminent.

THE DAY OF RECKONING.

The rewards Of gratitude in their own
States to which certain Democratic Sena-
tors laid claim for supporting nullhyIIng
reservations TO the peace treaty are dis
concertingly short of their expectations.
The overwhelming defeat at the pri--
maries OF Senator Thomas 2. Gore OF
Oklahoma by Representative Scott Ferris
for the Democratic nomination for United
States Senator has only one meaning.
BY opposing policies OF the Adminlstra-
ton during and since the war and by
lending aid to the Republicans in their
fight against the peace treaty he has
aroused the resentment OF the rank and
file of the party in Oklahoma, and sentence
of retirement, after serving two terms in
Washington, has been pronounced upon
him.
Last week Senator Charles s. Thomas
Of Colorado received even harsher treat
ment when he sought approval Of his
course, for the Democratic Assembly
gave him only one vote for the party
nomination at the primaries.
Senator Reed Of Missouri has been re-
pudiated by the Democratic Legislature
of the State and the Democratic State
Convention His candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Senator In Mis-
souri, has just been beaten in the pri-
maries. Senator Shields of Tennessee has
been publicly rebuked by the Democratic
Convention Of his State for the attitude
he took in the Senate toward the peace
treaty and the League Of Nations. 1t is
fortunate for him and Senator Reed that
they are not compelled this year to seek
at the primaries by the
votes OF Democrats, for both Of them
would beyond doubt have Jared as badly
as Senators Gore and Thomas have done.
For recreant Democratic Senators the
day Of reckoning with their fellow
Democrats at home is time to be
dreaded New York World.

Lurcd From tho Farms.

| The census figures Of the Eastern Shore
Of Maryland show a very considerable
failing off in rural population, and the de-
mand for workers in the industries il
blamed for the decrease Of men left to till
the farms. The head of the Extension
Service of Maryland Agricultural College
regards it as unlikely that the men thus
drawn from the country will ever return to
farm work. He contends 1T is not very
common for people TO move back to the
country after they get taste of city life
and city conveniences.'
Df. Symons, who is quoted above,
naturally concludes, as do all persons con-
sidering the "away from the farm" move
ment, that the farm must be made more
attractive, interesting and profitable il we
would stop this, exodus. This has long
been the cry, but we cannot see 1T has
taken us anywhere. Since the original call
came to make the farm attractive, the
telephone has been added. but it failed to
meet the need; then came the automobile,
but it, too. has not served to make the
men, especially the young men, contented
with country life So it is obvious that all
efforts to make the young farmer stick
to his pillow have not-mproved the condi-
tions.
1t is not likely the young man will ind
the farm interesting so long as he is ohllg-
ed to work every day in the year, as most
of them do. They are not to be blamed II
they do not fall in love with farm work II 1t
deprives them Of vacations and compeis
them to work "from sun to sun" all sum
mer and fall, and perhaps winter, while
the unskilled laborer in cities finishes his
days work in eight hours and is Tree on
Sundays and holidays. His pay, too, 10
much larger and surer than that OF the
man who looks to the soil with the un-
certainties Of the crops to compensate MN
for his drudgery.
One must reach the conclusion that
there must be some other method OF
conducting the farms. The farm nome
mus. be relieved of it's monotony and its
tedious. irksome isolation and the ac-
companvine sense Of loneliness. Webeliev
the farms will have 10 he operated IN oig
units. with well organized force, so that
each set Of men will have their special
work to perform, which may be so ar
ranged that they will not be tied down to
their tasks every Sunday and holiday, and
their hours Of work will not exceed those OF
other toilers. The only way to make the
farm interesting and attractive IS 70
tighten the burden Of constant, unin-
terrupted work upon the farm, burden
that i. so crushing and unceasing as to
make all other kinds Of manual toll seem
preferable. Then, too. the wages offered
BY the factory or the roadhuilders must
be met, for people will not work at crop
ping and dairying for less than they can
earn at other and less irksome tasks.
