GOOD WORK DONE
At CIVIC CONVENTION

By Ow Special Correspondent
The fifty three other Island dele
gates, duly beribboned and be
badged for the occasion, arrived
in Hilo by the Mauna Kea in the
early morning of the 23rd. 1t was
so early 6 80 am that very few
of the Hilo people were up to meet
us but the band was there, and
gave us a good, hearty welcome.
Hilo is a city, so that she was
abundantly able TO take care of
the large delegation in spite of the
fact that the hotels couldn't rend-
er any assistance.
True to the policy that Hilo had
set for the convention, that it
should be a session of serious pur-
pose, the meeting was called to
order a little after 8 o'clock. the
necessary preliminaries were ex-
peditiously disposed of and the
program was taken up.
A brief word of welcome was ex-
tended by DR.. Rice, the chairman
elect, to which Mr.. A. Lewis of
Honolulu, responded with much
grace, as well as good common
sense. He emphasized the fact
that development was ever the
policy of Hawaii-looking for
ward to greater and better things,
and it was particularly fitting
that this Civic Convention should
meet here in Hilo which had be-
hind it the largest amount of
country and the greatest posi-
bilities of development.
He furthermore suggested the
danger that there was, in our Is
land communities, separated as
they were by broad stretches of
sea, in thinking in terms of the
local Islands and their own i'm
mediate interests. We were here
on this occasion particularly to
think in the terms of the whole
Territory
The Governor, who had come over
on the Super Drednaught New Mexico
to attend the Convention was met by
an Ad Club ovation song:
"Oh, we're glad to see you, Governor
With your hand in your pocket,
And your little chain and locket, etc"
The Governor thought that these
civic conventions were a mighty good
thing in more ways than one. For one
thing they sort Of kept check on the
public officials. who, he admitted need
ed watching, but who weren't as bad
as some people made them out. One
thing which made them what they
were was that just when they were
getting down to bearing they were
superseded by a new man.
Following the Governors address
there came several formal papers
which were already printed and in the
hands of the delegates. They were:

nor George r. Carter; General AS

an impromptu oral report of what we
are doing on Kauai which met with
particular favor, since it was a direct
talk, not overloaded with statistics and
spiced with a dash of humor.
In addition to these regular elements

present and available. c. S. Robinson.

ing and planning.
Altogether it made a very full and
very profitable day, which amply justi-
fed the policy outlined by the Hilo
people in their invitation. to make the
convention really civic. serious and
worth while.
There was of course, q large amount
of meat in the various papers-they
will be printed in the proceedings of
the convention, and should be read by
all intelligent people; but they will
| not, so | venture to call attention to
some Of the outstanding points of gen.

On the whole, think the most sig.

is being done by the plantations. They

Your correspondent expressed his
satisfaction at this moving picture in
formation and hoped that this COM
mendable enterprise might solve the
moving picture problem in small COM
munities. He inquired whether these
shows would be open to the general
public, and about when this service
would be inaugurated on Kauai Mr..
Bowman thought there would be no
reason for excluding the general pub
lie, and that the service would be in
augurated on Kauai in November.

Farm Burean Notes

<<The stallion sales scheme now in
progress in Morrison county and ad-
Joining territory is an old game dressed
up in new clothes' says c. B. Camp
bell, manager Of the Morrison County
Farm Bureau.
The farmer is told to sign a contract
which in reality is a straight promissory
note bearing Z per cent interest from
date. In return he receives a "re-
ceipt' which does not bear signature
of any kind.
The agent representing the Sales
company, The Owosso Sugar Company
of Grand Rapids, Michigan, presents
the scheme whereby the farmer pays
$50 year for three years for service
fees in return for a standing celt'
When SO of these "contracts' are Sc
cured the stallion with bill of sale is
turned over to some: farmer in the
neighborhood for any amount he can be
"soaked' for.
The company gets about $4,000 for a
stallion that could be purchased at
private sale at 25 per cent to so per
cent of this price. The company binds
the farmer by promissory note. The
farmer takes the company's "word''
for the fulillment of a verbal agree
ment. The farmer receives nothing by
which he can hold the company for any
statements or agreements made It is
"sucker" game and good one to
leave alone.

DRY GOODS STORE GOING INTO
OLD BURTON STAND IN
FEBRUARY

After waiting patiently for long
time for more commodious quarters,
the J. G. Penney Company store in Lit
tie Falls has finally been rewarded and
next February will find the store locat-
ed in the Realty building, where the
Burton dry goods store is now located.
Geo. L. Hughes, manager of the local
Penney store, established same in it's
present location on First street north
east five years ago. The business has
grown in such proportions that the
present quarters were inadequate some
time ago. The quarters in the Realty
building into which the store will be
moved includes the space now occupied
by the Burton dry goods department
and the room formerly occupied by the
ladies' shoe department of that store.
The new location will give the store
three times more floor space.
Simultaneous with the announcement
Of the coming change in location
comes Mr.. Hughes announcement Of a
general reduction in prices, advertised
in another column. Mr.. Hughes does
not wish to move the present stock to
the new location and will try to close
it out where it now is.

best way to honor the dead is to render
a service to the living-that rather

living and heap flowers on their grave
after they are dead, we should bring
them flowers while they are living.
