Maui Drug Company
To Have Building and
Lahaina Branch

Lahaina is to have a thoroughly up
todate and well stocked and equip
ped drug store and a new building
which will contain five stores. Maui
Drug Com$pany will have a branch
establishment there in store the
same size and as well outfitted and
supplied as its Wailuku establishment.
Announcement of the plan was made
by Chock Chong, manager of the
company, on Wednesday,
I'VE have purchased 80 year lease
of premises 10 by 100 feet on Main
street, Lahaina, adjacent to the Am
erican Factors building" said Mr..
Chong. 1--WE shall tear down the old
buildings when present subleases eX-
pire soon after the first of the year
and shall at once erect building of
our own. 1t will contain a store room
for ourselves with the same floor area
as our Wailuku store and four other
store rooms, which we shall rent.
Building plans have not yet been
drawn but will be prepared by archit-
ects soon. We shall equip it for a
service in Lahaina equal to that we
render here. Already we have placed
the order for a large Walrus iceless
soda fountain. Early in the year two
pharmacists will come to us from the
mainland. While the store will be
branch of our Wailuku store it will
be our purpose to give Lahaina
patrons the same service that has won
us popularity in Central Maui" Mr..
ChCng will be manager of both estab-
lishments.
Changes of interest in the company
are also announced. William H. Nc
Donald has sold the greater part Of
his interest in tie company to Lyndon
Roberts who came from the mainland
about three months ago to join forces
with the drug company. Mr.. Roberts
is now vice-president of the company.
Mr.. Mcdonald expects to study for
two or three years and then either
continue in the pharmacy business or
practice medicine, he may then return
to Maui. Within a few weeks a
pharmacist will come from the cain
land to fill the vacancy left by the de-
parture of Mr.. Mcdonald.
Mr.. Chong came to Maui from Hilo
with his family only 19 months ago
and announced he would erect build
| ing and open drug store on Market
street. He had resided in Hilo for a
number of years and there had built
| up the Hawaii Drug Company into one
of the largest establishments of its
kind in the Crescent City. He was
also connected with the California
Fruit Company there. In Wailuku he
carried out hts plans as he annuonee-
ed them on arrival, and in July last
organized the Maui Drug Company
with capitalization of $4,000 and
privilege to- increase to $4,000. He
was president of the company, w. H
Mcdonald was vice-president, H. Y

Problems Arise in
Selecting Of Jurors
Interpretation of What Last
Great Register Means seems
To Be Needed.-Women's
Registration Confuses.

Some confusion as to how the 1921
jurors should be drawn has asiren in
the minds of the commissioners of
jurors, it is reported, and members of
the commission are seeking light on
the subject before the drawings shall
be made.
Does the provision requiring the
commission to select jurors from the
last great register" refer to the regis
ter as it existed prior to the last gen.
eral' election or to the register as it
exists at the time of the drawing? is
one of the questions. The statute
provides that within 60 days after
election the county clerk shall strike
from the register the names of those
who did not vote at such general cleo
tion \and this is being done at this
time.
If the correct Interpretation be the
register as it stood at the last cleo
tion there will be found on the list of
eligibles the names OF some who have.
died and of those who have moved
away and the names of those eligibles
who have registered since such cleo
ton will not be on the list. AS time
goes on to the approach of the next
election the list of eligibles contained
in the registry will be diminished by
other deaths and removals and no in
crease would be offered to replace
them. from such persons as may sub
sequently register and be otherwise
eligible for jury duty.
A second problem grows out of the
granting of suffrage to and the regis
tration of women. In the selection 30
grand jurors and 100 trial jurors the
law provides that selection shall be
made pro rata from the various pre-
cjncts. In some precincts the per-
centage of women registered is great
Fer than others and the result will be
that where the proportion OF women
registrants is largest the draft upon
male voters for jury duty would be
disproportionate to precincts where
fewer women are on the great register
County Attorney Bevins believes the
intent of the law was to have the
jurors drawn from the list OF regis
trants as it appears at the time OF the
drawing but the Interpretation OF the
law must rest with the courts. Rela-
tive to the proportion from the several
precincts his view is that the law is
directory to the commissioners rather
than mandatory upon them.
1t is not impossible that the method
of procedure may be attacked by
some attorney no matter what course
be taken by the commissioners OF
jurors in drawing the pannell. The
commission is taking the interpreta'
ton that the law means the register
as it stands at the time of the draw
| ing.

School and Delinquency
May Then be Prevented

whose mental development is becom-
ing retarded or has become perman-
entity retarded learn the cause and

his subject and spoke for nearly an
hour, after which he answered ques-
tions In answer to one question he
said that there are needed homes for
the feeble minded on each of the Is
lands and the one in Honolulu will
not be large enough for all the feeble
minded now in the reform schools.
BY no means all feeble minded chill
dren belong in such homes however,
he added
DR.. Hoag told of the beginning OF
the movement to learn the causes OF
child delinquency about 20 years ago
of the starting of children's courts
and progress made to the present
time. AS to causes of delinquency he
said third of the cases of serious
delinquency showed feeble mindednesS
or retarded mental development. Prop
erly studied in the schools signs coulc
be detected in the child and steps
taken forthwith to prevent later del

highly interesting, of his own eXper

a disappointment that. regrets should
be received from Hilo on Wednesday
when the first replies had Indicated
probable acceptance, Inability OF

the ecuse offered. Immediately fol
lowing the receipt of the letter the

SCHOOL YARD CONDITION
is SOURCE OF COMPLAINT

Kamehameha III school yard is in
bad shape and tends to make the
whole interior of the school dirty is
the complaint of the principal. b. o.
Wist, and of the Outdoor Circle. What
was intended for the front OF the
school is used as the back and the
back for the front and the grass has
all been worn from the yard where
the children play, the.Tesult being the
tracking of sand into the school when
ever the children enter.
AS cure for conditions it is pro
posed that the walks be macadamized
and earth brought in to cover the
sand and grass planted. A counter
proposal is for the cutting down of
some palms and using the part of the
grounds now covered with grass as a
playground.

Intoxication of Boys
Shows Prohibition Law
To be Violated Openly

Because of prevalent instances of
intoxication, occurring with increasing
frequency, Sheriff Crowell has written
10 the board of supervisors asking au-
thority to offer rewards to informers,
$15 for information which leads to
conviction for the selling of liquor and
$25 for information leading to convic-
tion of a person distilling intoXicants.
His letter was read to the board at
its meeting Wednesday afternoon and
was deferred for further discussion
and action at the meeting to be held
this afternoon.
Following the reading of the letter
a member OF the board explained that
the United States Marshal had declin-
ed to deputize the sheriff or one Of
his officers here, that prosecution was
the duty OF federal authorities in the
federal court. Where the sheriff or
his officers make arrests they are al
lowed only 10 cents a mile travelling
expenses and SO a day for witness
fees while in Honolulu and such al
lowancCs do not pay their expenses.
Strictly speaking the enforcement of
the federal law is out of the hands
of county officials.
Numerous instances of tnioXication
of boys between 15 and II are said
to have been noted within the past
few weeks. On one occasion several
are said to have some to a dance in
an intoxicated condition and il is said
that on several occasions groups of
boys have been seen on Market street
plainly showing the effects of alchOl-
Ollie stimulants.
Public comment has followed OBJ
servance of such apparently fragrant
breach Of the national prohibition law
and complaints have reached county
officials,
