THE

Every month or St a salesman from some Honolulu business con
Germ blows in to Maui and in a week or 10 days makes a fat killing
He sometimes she) almost invariably takes back to Honolulu a buncl
of orders that not only pays the salesnans salary, hotel and travelling
expenses, and cost of the advertising with which the field is consistent
ly cultivated and prepared before hand, but a very handsome proht to
the merchant besides. Common sense indicates that this must be Sc
or no merchant would keep it up year in and year out as a number OF
them do.
How is it that outside concerns can do this under the very noses
of local merchants?
Because the HOnoluu merchant has learned hoV to advertise.
Anyone knows, who pauses to think about it, that the heavy cost
of sending statesmen to Maui to solicit business has to be paid by the
customer, as we'll as the cost of shipping the goods up from Honolulu.
The Maui dealer can buy as advantageously as his Honolulu competitor,
and he can do business as cheapy.
He CAN, in fact, MORE cheapy than the Honolulu salesman.
The reason he isn't doing it is because he doesn't advertise.
He takes things for granted. He thinks that everybody knows
him. He imagines that people will come to his store and ask for what
they want. He forgets that that is just what the Honolulu salesman
does not do-not any way so you could notice it.
If he does run an occasional advertisement in the local newspaper
the Maui merchant doesn't put any punch back of it. He doesn't really
advertise at all. He simply puts his business sign in the paper-"John
Jones Co., Dealers in Fine Merchandise"-just the same as he hangs
his sign in front of his shop. And, as he says, his advertising doesn't
pay.
But advertising does pay for the Honolulu competitor who sends
the salesman to Maui every little while to skim the cream OF the local
trade. And it pays big. And the whole difference between success
and failure for him depends largely upon advertising-his ability to
tell people what he has to sell and to create in them the desire to buy.
The Maui merchants can do the same and could keep a lot OF good
money at home if they would go at the problem inteligenty.

TIME RIPE FOR WTERISLAND III SERVICE

If w. B. Stoddard, the pioneer promoter Of commercial aviation
in the Islands does not carry out his expressed plan to establish a regu-
lar inter-isand passenger and mail service, it is almost a foregOne con-
clusion that some one else willard in the no distant future. Because
Hawaii is the logical place for such a service.
What with the army and navy airnan flying back and forth be
tween the islands, not to speak OF Stoddards plane, the novelty of such
flights has already won off. A sea-plane large enough to carry a Num-
Der of passengers and several hundred pounds of mail should be able
to make daily flights between Honolulu and Hno, stopping at kahulu,
on a basis that should be profitable to the hackers of the enterprise.
Moreover planes of the flying boat type would inspire confidence in
passengers since a forced landing would not ordinarily be disastrous,
particularly if the machine was equipped with wireless telephone, as
practically all of the navy planes now are. Nor would the problem of
landing fields have to be considered since the harbors on each of the
islands would amply serve the purpose.
Hawaii was the first place in the world to develop in a practical
way a wireless telegraph service for the reason that her need for it
was greater than other places. In like manner the need for fast trans
portaion makes the Islands the log~I place for 4eohtable develop
nent of the new means of travel "" u

SOCIALISTS TO RUN AGAIN

NEW YORK, April 3-Julius Block,

that the Socialists will ask Governor
Smith to call a special election, at

The Socialist assemblymen who
were ousted are confident that they
will be reelected. Feeling is running
high over the decision of the legisla-
tors in deliberately kicking out"
these assemblymen on evidence that
many of the leaders believe to be I'M

Our Contemporaries
Better Travel Facilities Needed

Mr.. Albright is opposed to the in
clusion of Waimea canyon, on Kauai,
in the Hawaii national park because
of the lack of transportation facilities
and the scarcity of accommodations
for tourists. This is an indirect
criticism that we should take to
heart. Waimea canyon could be made
the goal of thousands and scores of
thousands of sightseers, but f they
were to descend m us now, what
would we do with them? We couldn't
get them to Kauai and if we could we
couldn't take care of them after they
got there. There is a lot of work to
be done at home before we can con-
scientiously invite the world to come
and look us over.

FARM WAGES HERE AND ON THE MAINLAND

Farm wages the highest in the history Of the United States last
year, the department of agriculture has just announced. And what do
you suppose this highest average in the highest wage country in the
world really was?
The department goes on to tell us that for the whole of the United
states it was $59S2 a month including board. and 5000 without board
or other perqusies.
1t is safe to say tina. there is not an able-bodied laborer in the Ha-
waian Islands today who is not averaging more than 5000 per
month, and getting besides a house to live in, free fuel, water, medical
etc.
And yet the Japanese on Oahu are on strike, and it is no uncom-
mon thing for mainlanders to refer to the Islands as a place of cheap
Oriental labor"

Gates. The Fifth federal reserve dis
trict subscribed more than S1,0OO,-
100000 to the five bond issues, and
the bonds were paid for, the records
show, largely from the savings or
current earnings of the purchasers.
South Carolina leads the district
in the total increase in savings in
the fiscal year, its gain being $780,
100000. Its increase in deposits of
all character exceeded S39,000,OOO.
The increase in the number of in
dividual savings accounts for the
five states of the district and for the
District of Columbia are given as fol
lows: Maryland, 10000; Virginia,

Emphasis is again placed by the
war loan organization upon the fig
ures showing the rapidly increasing
army of savers since it is believed
that as the savings habit becomes
more and more general throughout
the nation economic conditions, as
reflected in all lines of business and
industry, will necessarily improve
because of the very fact that more
and more money is being saved is in
dication that less is being wasted in
extravagant living. Moreover, as
leading bankers have repeatedly
stated, the savings habit stimulates
production and thus adds directly to
national welfare and prosperity
