Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: My brother
died last winter and left wife with
two boys, aged five and eight She
has always been a selfish woman,
thinking more about her own interests
than of my brother or the children
She has never worked because she
was married at the age of eighteen.
Since her trouble my husband has
contributed Is dollars a month toward
her support. OF course this amount
would not go far, but it is absolutely
all he can afford. My sister-in-law has
asked that we take the two boys in
stead Of sending money For the sake
Of the children I would do this, but
my husband objects strongly. We
have been married two years and he
says we must have a family of our
own and we cannot do justice to
both.
My sister-in-law is making her home
with my mother. Mother cannot help
in financial way. but she has offered
to take care OF the children if sister-in-
law will get a position.
Do you think should do the work
at hand and take the children, or
should follow my husbands advice
and refuse to take the children?
MRS. X. H.
Since your mother has offered to
take care Of the children, I see no
reason why you should do so. Your
sister.in-law must bear her own bur-
den as far as possible. To get a posi-.
ton and help toward the support of
her little family seems to be the least
she can do. By all means follow your
husbands advice. Not all men would
feel that they could contribute even
SIS to a wife's sister-in-law in these
hard times.
Dear Mrs Thompson: am a woman
of 80 and have two nice children and
a happy home. but there is a man who
annoys me all the time, trying to get
me to leave my husband and go with
him. My husband welcomes him al
the house as friend.
I have told him that If he did not
stop annoying me would tell my hus
hand about it. do not like to make
trouble because his eldest daughter is
a beautiful character and it would hurt
her terribly. But don't you think
should tell my husband and let him
talk to the man?
Yes, you should tell your husband
The matter can be settled privately sc
that the mans daughter need not be
hurt 1t is wrong for you to permit
such a character to come to youl
home.

equipment for kitchen. dairy and laun-
dry, covered a large area of the finest
farming section in Indiana-the very
garden spot of the middle west. While
records from the attendance show that
many farm homes in this section have

so reveal the fact that thousands and

attendance and interest shown, that
there is a great awakening to the need

yours-and what's yours Is your
own!"
Mans life is full of struggles! First,
he struggles against soap, then against
discipline. then against an education,
then against matrimony, then against
badness, and finally against death
but they all get him, soon or later!
Things no woman can forgive a man
for forgetting: A kiss, the point of q
story, her birthday, the color Of her
eyes, and the frock she had on the
first time they met
A woman who clings to man, after
love is dead, has that same creepy ef-
feet on him as hair that clings to
wet fingers, and can't be shaken off.
The true artistic spirit" is that of
the man who won't turn from his con-
temptation of beautiful sunset, in
order to stare after a red-headed girl
but have you ever met him?

What S in a Name

Belle is one of the many feminine
names which began existence as a.
contraction and gained sturdy indie
pendence until it became a recognized
appellative and is bestowed without
reference to it's prefix.
Since Belle signifies oath of Baal'
it is easily discernible that it is an
offspring of Isabelle. In the days
when Elizabeth of Hainault married
Philippe Auguste and suffered her
name to be changed to Isabelle by the
French, 1t is hardly likely that Belle
was used, either as an endearment
or diminutive. But Isabelle became
very popular in royal circles and the
betrothed of Hughes de Lusignan.
who later married King John, brought
Isabelle to England.
1t was there that Belle came into
existence and into consequent vogue.

Delegate KalanianaOle
Is Campaigning on Maui

Delegate Kalanianaole is campaign
ing on Maui this week but up to to-
day has done little speaking. The
delegate went first to Hama and then
came back to Kahului and Wailuku
Last evening he attended the fair and
was seated in the bCX of Senator Har-
ry A. Baldwin with Governor McCar-
thy and the Senator
1t had been proposed that the dele
gate should speak last evening at the
Fair but Chairman Kalama of the
campaign committee considered it in
advisable to have campaign speaking
in the Kahului grounds where an ad-
mission is charged to see the Fair.
He did not want politics introduced
into the Fair. 1t is expected a meet
ing will arranged before the delegate
leaves.
Speaking of his campaign Delegate
Kuhio expressed his satisfaction at
the vote Maui gave him in the pri-
mary and said that on Hawaii, Kauai
and Oahu indications seem favorable
to his reelection.

Andrew MCShane Is
Burned in His Home
Charred Body Is Found Face Down
at Door He Vainly Sought to Open
to Escape From Blazing Bedroom
of His Kuiaha Home.

Andrew McShane was burned to
death when his farm home at Kuiaha
was destroyed by fire in the early
hours of Sunday morning. His char
red body was found in the ruins OF
the house when they had cooled suf-
ticiently for a search to be made. In
terment was on the premises near
where the house had stood and an
inquest will be held early next week.
Nothing to indicate foul play or in
cendiarism has been discovered.
Shortly after midnight Sunday morn
ing a Japanese who lives near the Nc
Shane place gave the alarm and call
ed Frank Miller and George Farms
worth When they reached the house
it was a seething furnace with the
sheet iron roof white hot. They call
ed to McShane, thinking he might
have esacped from the burning build
ing but got no answer They found
no sign of him as daylight came and
waited until the ruins cooled Then
they found the body lying face down
ward by a door. He had evidently
fallen as he was trying to unlatch and
open the door, theory that is sup
ported by the fact that he was lame.
II is said that McShane kept Ian
tern burning near his bed at night,
was in the habit of smoking cigar
cites in bed and would ignite piece
of paper at the lantern to light his
cigarettes. The theory is advanced
that he set the bed afire either from
the lighted paper or went to sleep with
a lighted cigarette in his mouth or
hand and set fire to the bedding.
It is said that he was about IS years
of age and is survived by his aged
mother, a Mrs. Jones who lives in Ho-
nolulu. Mrs. Ida Turner, wife of
Frederick ]. Turner of Henry May G.
Compan, in Honolulu, his sister and
several nieces and nephews.

Goats Are
Well Shown at Kahului

Bringing an exhibit o. ten Toggen-
burg goats, TwigS Smith arrived from
HonGsNbu on Tuesday and is showing
them in the livestock division of the
Fair. Not only is he showing hem but
he is boosting goat raising in the Is
lands with real eThusiasm, He has
issued deadly taralel' poster in
which he makes comparisons between
COWS and goats that are sufficient to
make "Moolie Moo Cow" blush.
Mr.. Smith has a fine herd on dis
play and he believes there is a great
future for the Toggenburg here on
Maui and in all parts of the Islands.
He brough from the Mainland herd
of more than 100 some of which are

been brought to the experiment sta

Good Things Many
In Fair Exhibits
In Order to See Them All Some Sys-
TEN Should be Used Taking Plenty
of Time to Go Through Each and
Every Building.

To see the Third Maui Fair and to
see it right it is advisable to start
early for there is much to see and
much to distract ones attention from
the seeing. The best way is to start
at the first building encountered after
entering the ground, the Territorial
Building, ascend the stairs at the right
and spend as much time as can be
spared in the balcony where is the
school exhibit.
Maui's schools, or their early re-
suits are splendidly shown in a large
and comprehensive exhibit, of out
standing interest is the beautiful
needle work girls have done and the
cabinet work of the boys, but general
educational work is eXcellenty shown.
Compared with the last Territorial
Fair highly creditable" are words not
nearly sufficiently commendatory.
leaving the Territorial building az
the right hand entrance, the agricul
tural building is close at hand. Right
by the door, directly in front of the
entrance is raised platform on which
there is a remarkably fine display OF
home grown fruits. 1t has been ar
ranged by d. H. Case, chairman ol
that department and it is receiving
warm praise. The vegetable display
is so excellent and varied that 1t has
won praise from j. NJ. Westgate heaC
of the U. S. Agricultural Experiment
Station of the Islands who has seer
every fair and is in a position to judge
Cane exhibits are excellent and the
pineSpple exhibit is a striking one
Forage crops, also, are well shown.
In the agricultural building, right a
the further entrance is the Welfare
Work exhibit, unique, attractive, inter
esting and well explained to all in
quirers. 1t is one of the most move
features of the fair.
Turning again to the right on
comes to the floral display buildin
where James Lindsay, chairman o
that department has arranged bowe
of fragant beauty. 1t is admitted
the finest Maui has ever known, o
was on the opening morning, b
fore all exhibits were in, and Mr.. Line
say said they would be renewed eac
day of the Fair.

LECTURES AT FAIR

OF intense interest to stock growers
of the Islands will be the lecture in
the Territorial Building at the Fair
tomorrow at 1890. Prof. w. l.. Will
Jams will be the lecturer and he will
discuss methods of securing a higher
efficiency in cattle breeding on the Is
lands, a point where cattle men say
there is a great opportunity for ad-
vancement in Hawaii.
Yesterdays lecture was by Prof.
Gordon L. True, judge of livestock at
this fair and that of today is by John

U. S. Agricultural Experiment Station
