is still highly approved of Fashion,
1t Is dffficult to resist the appeal of

Here is one. for instance, a
costume tailleur," as the Paris de-

possibilities for making over an old
suit. Emily Stevens wears it in
'Footioose."
1t is so simply that 1t hardly needs

A Soothing Home Remedy For
That Painful Coat Of Sunbum
Copyright. 1920. n. E. A.

One Of the best remedies for a
coat OF sunburn is sweet cream.
The cream is healing and not the
least bit irritating to the most
nercely burned noses The prepared
cold creams" are. of course. heal
ing and bleaching but are very apt
to ~aggravate the sensitive member.
Before washing the face rub
lightly with sweet ordinary table
cream. Let stand" as long as pos
sible. Then wash the face with
lukewarm water using no soap.
Sunburn is really painful to some
persons and sweet cream actually
does lessen the hurt.

Maui FOreSterS Will
Build Home At Kahului

Court Valley Island, No. 9239, An
cient Order of Foresters, is very short
ly to build a $4,000 business and
lodge room building at Kahului. A
committee of the lodge has been
negotiating for some time for a lease
on the necessary land, and this has
now been practically settled. The
diea is to build a building that will
bring in revenue from renting the
lower floor for business purposes,
while the lodge will have COM
modious meeting place on the second
floor.
The Maui Foresters have, in the
past two years been perhaps the most
active society on Maui and have very
largely increased their membership.
The need for a home has been sorely
felt for some time past, but ii was
not until recently that the lodge de
cided to build its own quarters, all
other methods of finding such having
failed.

Pineapple growers will receive
$4,000 per ton for first class fruit dur
ing the coming-year. This is jump
of over $13 per ton over the price
paid during the past year. Notice Of
the new price came to Manager A. F.,
Tavares, of the Haiku Fruit & Pack
ing Co., last Saturday by wireless from
the coast. 1t is based on the new
selling price of $315 per dozen cans
for No. 2R extra sliced.
While the new price is not altogeth-
er a surprise to the growers, it is the
matter of much satisfaction to all of
them, and will undoubtedly have the
effect of still further squirting up pro-
duction in a field that is already being
almost feyerishly exploited,

Report Mala Wharf
Money To GOTOHana
DiSquieting RumOr Comes From HO-
nOlulu Hama Project To Cost
Double Fund For That Purpose
Governor Mccarthy Says "NO"

Is the Mala wharf to be built at
Hama?
County Attorney Bpvins asked Gov
enor Mccarthy this question this
week and the Governor emphatically
answered no. But there are others
who put their tongue in their cheek
when the question is asked.
The fact is that the 100000 item
in the loan fund act which is popular
ly supposed to have been for building
the landing in Lahaina district, went
is as for "wharyes and landings on
Maui"
Also it is apparent that the new
wharf being built at Hama, and which
was supposed to cost in the neighbor-
hood cf $4,000 is really going to cost
about twice that much. The reason
for this is that someone apparently
made blunder in connection with the
survey for the East Maui structure.
In places where 2O-foot piles We're in
dicated by the specifications it has
been necessary to put in piles 80 feet
long or over; while the result that
there are a lot of fine concrete piles
made and lying on the shore over
there that cannot be used at all.
Besides this a shifting of the cur
rents is said to have carried out a lot
of the sand at the location of the
wharf exposing a ledge of very hard
lava through which ii is necessary to
drill in order to set the piles, where
it had been the idea that they would
be set in sand or other soft material.
Contractor J. b. AgassiZ, who has
been patiently worrying along for
many months past, is said to be very
philosophical over the matter and,
seemingly, is not worrying as to where
the big pile of extra money is to come
from to pay for the additional cost.
SO far as can be seen there seems to
be no money whatever available un-
less it be from the bond money in
tended for Mala, which probably legal
ly could be diverted to the Hama pro-
ject
/ The Maui chamber Of commerce and
the Maui public generally which has
been laboring so hard for so long to
get a ships wharf on the Lahaina
side, are not likely to take the sug-
gcsted plan of diversion in very good
part. The matter will perhaps get an
airing at the chamber of commerce
meeting next week
1t is understood that also the matter
some changes in location of th
Mala wharf from what had at tirs
been proposed have been made by Il
experts as a result of the study mad
of the currents and character of Il
bottom in the vicinity. Plans as tn
altered have been received on
this week, it is understood I'D n.
be the basis of some further NChamb'
action.

PEii H. enpIes To Bring
$4O.O6 Ton This Year

$3.50. Later in the season some OF
the winter pack excess over orders
sold for around about SO. 1t was
pretty well conceded that the price
for this year could not well be below
this figure, and those who were in a
position to judge did not believe that
the Gamers would attempt to boost it
much above this figure. as it has been
the consistent policy to keep pretty
well under the price of mainland fruit.
How Price Is Figured
The contracts which the canneries
have with growers provide for an
average base price of 500 per ton for
first class fruit when the selling price
of canned pineapple averages for all
grades $1.75 per dozen. For each
cents per dozen advance over this base
price the grower gets IS cents per
ton additional. Decreases in price
work the opposite way. The price for
this year is arrived at according TO
the following table:

New Corners To Wed
Tomorrow Afternoon

At the Church of the Good Shepherd
tomorrow afternoon, will occur tn"
marriage of Miss May Hayward, a
teacher at present in the Wailuku
public school, and Mr. Arthur E
Sayers, assistant manager of the Maui
Publishing Co The ceremony will be
very simple one and will be attend
ed only by Mr. and Mrs. VIII. J.
Cooper. 1t will be performed by the
pastor, the Rev. j. Charles Nilliers
Both Mr. Sayers and Miss Hayward
are newcomers in. the Islands. The
latter, who is an English girl, met Mr..
Sayers during the war in England,
where he was serving in the British
army, and where their romance began.
At the close of hostilities both came
to Canada Mr.. Sayers to recuperate
from serious wounds, and Miss Hay
ward to engage in further government
relief work They have friends in
Honolulu, and some months ago with
party of friends decided to visit the
Islands and later to make their home
here.
Before the war Mr.. Sayers was Il
resident of Los Angeles. Miss Hay
ward had particularly trying war eN-
periences, including the loss of her
brother, who while one of those who
reached the south pole in the famous
Shackelton expedition, was also one
of those who failed to return.
Following their marriage the young
couple will make their home for the
present in the d. II. Case residence.

D. Lee Austin Is A
CaStaway For 5 Days

d. L. Austin, the well known travel
ing salesman for Theo. II. Davies q
Co, who has many friends on Maui,
had an exciting adventure on Kauai
few weeks ago whe a party of II
with whom he had gone fishing along
the Napali coast were trapped on the
rocky coast at the base of unscalable
cliffs by a kOna storm, their boat
smashed, and thus cut off from rescue
for five days.
An effort was made to reach the
party by a launch sent out by Man
ager B. d. Baldwin, but the surf was
so rough that the attempt was aban-
doned. Later a party of Japanese
fishermen did manage to make a
landing and to rescue the castaways,
MI of whom had suffered more or less
from exposure and lack of food.
In the party were-Dr. W. T. Dunn,

Cannot Buy Power Now
Frank F. Baldwin, manager OF the
Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co.,
stated at the meeting on Tuesday that
his company could not be counted up,
on as a source of power at the pres
ent time, as some had suggested. 1t
will therefore be necessary that the
new company have a power plant of
it's own from the start. Mr.. Baldwin,
however, stated that within two or
three years, with the completion of
some big ditch projects the H. c. e.
s. Co, will have surplus hydro-electric
power which it will probably be will
ing to sell at very low figure compar.
ed with steam or oil engine methods
of production. While he personally
was anxious to see the people of
Maui have a dependable electric sup
ply, and while he would be willing to
assist in the organization of a new
company to that end, he would not
be willing to have any connection with
such company at any time that the
H. c. & S. Co., should be furnishing
1t with current.

Lights Fade Away,
Service Stopped

Wailuku and Kahului have been with
out street lights for week. Presuma-
bly, this condition will continue until
the proposed new Maui Electric Com
pany is in the field or .Nptil the Is
lad Electric Co., is in a .NNsition to
deliver more satisfactory service.
The lights were switched off oA the
first of the month on written instruc-
tions from the county government ad-
vising the power company that it did
not care for the service longer. The
letter was written by County Clerk
Kaae at the Instance of Chairman Sam
Kalama of the board of supervisors.
At its meeting last month the super.
visors instructed County Engineer
Low to require the electric company
to place a meter on it's street service
lines and to pay for street lights only
upon the actual amount of current
used. The company, it is reported,
was unable to comply at once with
this requirement, which may have
been the direct result of cutting out
the use of the street lights altogether.
There had been much complaint for
some time past because so many
burned out lamps in the cluster lights
on the streets were permitted to re-
main thus reducing the amount of
light paid for under the flat rate. The
county has been paying between $400
and $500 a month for this service.

noIuIu this morning by the Manoa
Contrary to the impression prevalent
here, he has not as yet instituted pro-
ceedings to foreclose on the mortgage
on the property of the company by
which the bonds in question are secur-
ed although he received notice Of the
desire of the bondholders to take such
action. He is here, he states, to get
as much data as possible on which to
establish the suit to be filed, and as
soon as he had this he will of course
get the action started.
Mr., E-51 confirms the opIn7c,f of
her attorneys familiar with the
mortgage in question, that it will re-
1uire long draWn-out fight in the
courts to forecIose as it apparently
was drawn so as to give the bondhold-
ers a minimum and the company the
maximum of power. Many technical
difficulties, it is said, may be inter-
posed if the effort to foreclose is con-
tested.

mately supply all of central Maui with

Germ, has made arrangements for
securing charter of incorporation,

company to erect poles and string
wires upon the streets and roads of
