EXTEND BUILDING POWERS.

Where the county advertses for bids for road work or for bridge
building and the tenders are for figures which the board of supervisors,
advised by the county engineer, consider too high, the county has the
power to do the work for itself. Within the past year Maui has done
this a number Of times and the taxpayers have prohted by reason of
the savings thus effected.
But when it is a question of constructing school buildings no such
power is vested in the county officials. And it may be asked why such
is the case. Within the same period as the road and bridge work re-
ferred to has been done there have been instances where the board of
supervisors considered that the tenders for construction of school build
ings and cottages were too high. The buildings were urgently needed,
however, and contracts were let at prices the board considered not war
raned by economic conditions, at figures they think considerably higher
than would have resulted had the work been done by the county.
But the law permits the county to do road work and bridge building
and forbids it to erect school or other buildings except under contract
1t is said that Honolulu building and contracting interests are respon-
sible for such state of affairs, securing laws framed to prevent county
building in order that they might benefit thereby.
1t is now suggested that an amendment to the law be secured so
as to give county officials the same discretion in building construction
that they have i'll road building and bridge building. Members of the
Maui board and taxpayers who have expressed their views favor the
introduction of remedial legislation at the regular session next year. One
member of the board calls attention to the fact that if the county were
in a position to ue its own employees and supplies it would save the eX-
pense that a contractor has for a superintendent of his work and that
the county could utilize materials it might have on hand and thereby
bring about a still further saving. He figures that several thousand
dollars could have been saved in work that was done under contract dur
ing the past wear.

TRANSPORTATION OF SCHOOL, CHILDREN.

If children who complete a six grade school and desire to complete
a grammar course but live too far from an eight grade school to walk
back and forth hope to secure daily transportation they must look else
where than to the department of public instruction for in the school
budget for the next two years there is no provision made to meet the
expense it would entail. But this does not mean that the proposal to
furnish transportation in such. instances need be abandoned or given up
for that time. ii still possible to secure legislation to enable the board
of supervisors to appropriate from the general fund for that purpose.
It's doubtful if any advocates of the plan which has the support of
the women of Maui contemplated an appropriation sufficient to make
possible the abandonment of one, two and three room schools at once,
for general transportation of children to larger schools. If this were
undertaken on a larger scale it would mean, Mauis commissioner says,
an increase in the tax rate of one percent on the assessed valuation.
What was desired was to make a beginning on Maui, just as has been
done in Hawaii county, not to swallow the whole beef at the one meal
but. to cut off a steak for the first meal.
Although the general fund will not be large enough to warrant eX-
travagance, it may still permit some expenditure for the desired purpose
next year necesay legislation to enable the board of supervisors to use
money from the general fund for the purpose. The board is seeking
to hold down the tax rate and the result is that only a very limited
amount can well be made available, but a trial might still be made. Here
on Maui it is an experiment and it is best to experiment moderately and
mOdesty in new undertakings.
If it be proved that the experiment is a success in a small way, it
may be looked upon to work out on a larger scale. 1t is a success on
the mainland and there is no reason to look on Maui Is an exception.
Besides distances are not so great here.
Looking ahead, it is not wildly visionary to foresee large school
centers, such as are contemplated in the new building program and the
abandonment of numbers of smaller schools. When construction costs
upkeep and maintenance, additions and repairs and overhead expenses
are take into consideration it is likely to be found that a saving will be
effected by abandonment of smaller schools and Furnishing transpota
ton to children who will be taken from home to school and back home
for less money than would have to be paid to accommodate them with
the small schools catered about today.
There is no reason for the women Of Maui to abandon the campaign

CREDIT SHOULD BE DIVIDED.

After the legislature completed the work of the special session and
adjourned many were the compliments paid to it and to its members
for the efficiency and expedition with which the legislation was handled.
In the bestowal of praise it would seem, however, that one official was
overlooked, the one that was more than any one other individual res
ponsible for the record that was made, Governor Mccarthy.
Far in advance OF the assembling OF the legislature, long before
the election at which most of them were chosen, Governor Mccarthy
was at work outlining a program Of legislation he considered necessary.
He did even more. Heads of departments were set to work gathering
necessary data and the Attorney General and his office started in the
preparation of bills" AS a result the members of the legislature, on
assembling, found measures already for presentation and for immediate
consideration. The way had been cleared and made easy for them.
They knew what was wanted and what was expected of them.
So it appears that credit for a splendid record should be divided.
There is enough to go round. The legislators took advantage of the
opportunity offered them by the carefully arranged plans the executive
had prepared. They cooperated and the legislative wheels were soon
turning smoothly and speedily. There was no friction. The legislature
did its part just as the governor and his official family had done theirs
before the session opened.

TWO IMPORTANT CONFERENCES.

Word has corse from Honolulu in the past week of the probable
holding of two highly important conferences in the Islands during the
coming year, the second Worlds Press Conference and an international
conference of bankers. For the opportunity Alexander Hume Ford
must come in for a full share OF the territory's gratitude. He started
the movement, he brought the conference of the scientists here and he
is one of those who are making present arrangements.
The Worlds Press conference plan was to have had hnal consider
alton on the mainland Wednesday but Hawaii is said to be virtually
assured of securing it. 1t was to have been held in the antpodes but
a fall down there has given Hawaii its chance. To secure it means the
opportunity to enlist the services and cooperation of the worlds most
prominent pubhclStS and newspaper men III the work of winning for
Hawaii the place on the map of the world her sons and daughters and
adopted children desire.
The other conference, for the entertainment of delegates to which
plans are well under way, will be of bankers and the advantage of being
Hawaii is fortunate.

NO TIME LOST.

Approval has been given by the President to the 100000 bond issue
for the Kahului wharf and harbor improvements authorized at the se-
cal session of the legislature. Certainly a record for speed has been
made by the project, and Maui can be congratulated on the smoOthness
with which the plan has advanced.
1t is only about two months ago that the members of the Chamber
of Commerce in meeting were told of the plans and the hope for the
passage of necessary legislation at the special session. 1t was then said
that disposition of the bonds when issue was enabled had been arranged.
True the plan has been in the making Tor a longer time but within a
sixth of a year after the announcement was made to the chamber the
needed legislation was secured, the bond issue approved and the pur-
chase of the securities arranged for.
Mauis senators, and especially Senator Harold w. Rice, have done
splendid and most valuable work for the project.

AUTHORIZATIONS NEEDED.

When a defendant pleads for leniency because he followed a Japa
nese custom, when the following out of such custom has resulted il
it would seem to be carrying out foreign customs entirel
too far and to show a most urgent need of Americanizing alien adults
necessary by compulsion, and the plea" was made by an America
that, Here is the statement an attorney made to the court, as it wa
printed in a Hlo paper:
"The defendant was a bosom friend of Omura and
his wife, Miki. They lived in the plantation camp at 90
kAa in different cottages. Somebody told the defendant
that his friends wife was acting in a foolish fashion and
upon receipt of this information, Ueda went to OmuraS
quarters and appraised him of the rumor.
According to Oriental custom, said Attorney Pat
terson, the defendant was empowered by the husband to
deal with the wife in his behalf, as if he were present
in person himself, and carrying out the unwriten law of
the white man.
"When one morning the defendant met the woman
with the victim of the staying under Omura's house, the
defendant felt that he was ID honor bound, according to
Oriental custom, to cut off the wifes hair and do some
bodily injury to the man in the case.
Therefore, in view OF the facts as he had recited, the
Attorney asked that the court, in the exercise of justice,
should show the defendant the greatest leniency in pro-
nouncing sentence upon him"

them to redouble their energy. Admitting that it is unfortunate the

"Halehaku school wants to know why there are no signs to warn
auto drivers to slow down as they approach the school premises" The
complaint of a resident of that section and the admission of bad road
conditions by county officials would make it seem that the signs may not
be needed because the cars have OF slow down in that district anyway

In choosing q ration for q horse. select lhe one that seems to meet his re q0irements, whether for growth maintenance, work, breeding or fattehz ing; estimate the amount of feed nee ed and try out the ration. It may a51 pear after trial that too little is be ing fed or that the ration may b changed somewhat in the interest 8 economy or efficiency. If q number 0s horses are kept, different rationS ma be tested on different animals and th best one selected for general use. iu diyidnal feeding gives the best fe suits.
 Feeding stuffs are broadly divide .nto two great classes, proteinS am carbohydrates.

NEW BALL PARK FOR NEWARK

Work on the new ball park for Newark was started last Friday when quite a bunch of fans got to- gether and cleaned up the ground and furnished teams with which to break and roll the ground to put It in first class shape for playing,
 The location of the new diamond is on the south side of Front street, between the Newark Lumber Cos store and the Newark Gin Co.'S build ings, giving an advantage over the old diamond both in being closer to town and having a better playing surface, the new ground being prac- tically level and free of ditches, making both a better infield and out field than the old diamond afforded.
 Newark has always held a repu- ation for good ball players and much interest is being manifested Tn the sport this season by the many fans who say Newark has a better lineup than ever before.

OUR COUNTY MAKING
 PROGRESS WITH STOCK
INDEPENDENCE COUNTY NOW PRODUCING SOME OF FINEST
 IN THE SOUTH

Independence County farmers are making splendid progress in growing good stock, and t should be a matter of pride to our citizens to know that some of the best herds of hogs and cattle in the entire South are found right here in Independence county.
 Without doubt the best herd of Poland China hogs in Arkansas is owned by Herbert Benson of Newark. MT. Benson has about so head and no better blood lines can be found in America than is carried in this herd. Five of his sows weigh more than $500 pounds. His herd boar is a son of Dynamo 87546 a 5000 boar. One SOW by Fessy's Timm cost MT. Benson $650. She has fine litter of pigs by Big Pritch.
 Some of the pigs in the herd are sired by Harrison's Big Bob, a $l0,- 200 Missouri boar. He also has I number of pigs by Buster Clansman, son of Wm. Wrigley's $18,0O0 Clans man boar.
 M. M. Rutherford of near Sulphur Rock has one of the biggest and best bred herds of Durocs in Arkansas or in the entire South. Although this herd has been brought together with in the last twelve months, Mir. Ruth erford has herd of 300 registered hogs. His herd boar is probably the greatest son of Scissors, the Souths greatest International Grand Cham pion boar, owned by Pine Crest Farm, Charleston, Mississippi.
 Mr Rutherford recently bought several line bred Orion Cherry King sows, one of which he paid $1125 for, and bought her at a great bargain at that price.
 Both Mr. Benson and Mr. Ruther- ford will hold auction sales soon and the biggest breeders in the country will be on hand to buy some of these wonderfully bred hogs.
 R. A Dowdy and L. N Ruther- ford have purchased jointly a Jersey bull from the University of Arkan- sas. This bull carries the best blood

sHRUNKEN WHEAT GOOD FEED
Hoos in South Dakota Experiments Made Almost as Large Gains
 as With Good Wheat.

eWlth the price on hogs, shrunken wheat as a pig feed is worth about as much as the governments guarantee" |" says ]. w. Wilson. professor of animal husbandry at South Dakota State col lege. Professor Wilson bases this statement upon the results of experl- nents conducted at the college some years ago In feeding 44-pound wheat in comparison with 57-pound wheat. Pigs receiving ground shrunken wheat made an average daily gain per head of two pounds, the good wheat producing only three tenths of a pound more per day per head.
