Markets UnSanitaly
Alleged by Women
Regulations as to Screening
Not Properly Observed it is
Alleged; Want Modern
Equipment and Methods.

Unsanitary conditions in the hand
ling of meats and vegetables in Wal
luku are alleged to have been found
by members of the civic department
of the Maui Woman's Club in the
course OF investigations which they
have been conducting recently. They
assert that laws and ordinances are
not being carried out to the letter in
some cases and not even in the spirit
in other instances.
One of the causes for complaint al
legged by the investigators is that no
meat market in Wailuku is properly
screened to prevent the entrance of
flies into the place where meat is on
display or is being cut. In one in
stance it is said there is window
in the screen through which flies fit
at will, in another there is said to
be a swinging door to permit patrons
to go back and forth and through
which flies can also enter. 1t is as
serted that the germ carriers settle
in numbers over the meat, over the
chopping blocks and over the coun
ters on which meat is placed.
Another assertion is that choppng
blocks are not kept clean and that
surroundings are such as to disgust
the person who has done the market
ing for the home with meat eating
for some time to come.
Relative to vegetables, it is claimed
that such green stuff as lettuce is
put on display in unscreened places,
handling of it by him or who de-
sires is not prevented and the goods
so kept that germs in quantities may
accumulate upon them. Further, it is
said, in some instances there are
bitches surrounding vegetable gardens
filled with stagnant water so filthy as
to give forth a stencil and that in such
water those who gather the vegetables
or greens wash" them before sending
them to market.
The investigators claim that condi-
tions surrounding the sale of meats
and vegetables are intolerable. They
are hoping that a market which will
be thoroughly modern and strictly san
itary may be established in the near
future and purpose to take steps to
urge the interesting of capital in such
an enterprise.
Harold w. Rice has recently ac-
uuired the Dutro market, and that
and All Hoy market are to be COM
bined under the management of Mr..
Dutro. Mr. Rice says he hopes to
have such market as the members
of the Woman's Club ask for and that
Wailullu will have such market If
business will warrant it. He is in
clined to believe that only conduct of
business on a cash basis would war
rant such an establishment, however.

TEN MILLIONS IS
NEED OF CROCKETT
Hawaii Plantations Will Take
That Amount of Stock to
Enable Carry-over of 8O,-
600 Tons of Sugar.

Additional stock in the California
Hawaiian Sugar Refining Company at
Crockett to the amount of ten million
dollars will be taken up by the sugar
companies of the Territory. The in
creased capitalization is necessary to
enable the refining company TO carry
over 10000 tons or refined sugar esti-
mated it will have on hand January
l. TO take their proratas some of the
companies will undoubtedly have to
exercise extreme economy and con-
servatism
A. w. T. Bottomley, American Fac
tors, John Waterhouse, Alexander &
Baldwin, and j. NJ Dowsett, three of
the representatives of the plantations
who went to Crockett to investigate
the situation returned on the Maui
Tuesday and Mr.. Bottomley gave out
the following statement through the
Honolulu Star-Bulletin:
owing to the slow sales of refined
sugar since the middle of July this
year, at which time the demand for
sugar practically ceased, the refinery
will have on hand on Jan /, 1921,
about $4,000 tons of refined sugar.
This very large carry over means
bii'lI nNlhlllOlldl capital amounting lO
about S10,000,000 must be provided by
The plantations.
Large Stock Embarrassing
while the refinery balance sheet
1t the end of the year will show no
loss and the losses if any cannot be
determined until the stock of sugar on
hand is sold, nevertheless, the large
amount of sugar which the refinery
Is carrying over, bought at high prices,
is proving embarrassing, and this, to-
gether with the fact that the company
has always been short of working
capital, induced the committee to
agree on behalf of the plantations to
the taking up of this new stock.
plans are now being worked out
by the refinery directors and their at
torney looking to the issue of this
stock as soon as possible after the
beginning of the new year.
Favors ToIing Basis
I'm addition to studying the finan-
cial problems, the committee in con-
sultation with the refinery directors
devoted a great deal of time to the
of a new form of con-
tract between the plantations and the
refinery, and contract somewhat on
the lines of a tolling basis will prob
ably be arranged for next year"

Carnival Spirit Will
Be Rife on Maui When
New Year is Welcomed

One week of 1920 remains. One
week from tonight Maui will begin
its New Years celebration at car
nival costume dance in the Territorial
Building at Kahului. The dance will
be preceded by basket ball game
| and the 1920-21 celebration will be in
full swing. Next day will follow nov
city sports, baseball and horse racing
and the New Year will have been ush-
cred in.
Preliminary preparations so far as
the dance committee is concerned are
complete. Judges selected have accep-
ted, music arranged for, all that is ne
nessary now is the decoration of the
hall. Quite different is it with many
of those who will be at the dance
Not all of them have yet completed
their costumes for the ball though
some have done so and others have
theirs well along in the making. From
the talk that is heard more than ordi
nary preparations are being made for
the occasion. Awards by the judging
committee will be made at or shortly
after midnight.
For the sports, ball players are
working into shape after few weeks
lay off. Pitchers are limbering up
their whip arms, hitters getting the
batting eye into focus and basemen
and fielders are limbering up for a
well contested series.
Change in original plans which sub
stituted sports and events of a humor-
our and amusing character for athletic
events and foot races seems to have
met with general approval according
to reports coming to members of the
committee and the carnival spirit of
the occasion will be carried over from
the New Years dance to the New
Years day events in front of the
grand stand
A card of well contested horse races
is promised ythe Japanese who are
in charge of that end of the program.
They offer the assurance of good sport
to admirers of horse flesh.
For Sunday there is no change in
the program but it has been decided
that no admission to the grounds will
be charged on that day.

whether it is morals or law that binds
US. He only knows that if we give Il
pledge we are going to stand by it.
Take, for instance, article 10, the
war article of the league. The soldier
reads there that the members Of the
league undertake to respect and pre-
serve against external aggression the
territory and Independence Of all other
members. That is the language
of the covenant. The soldier trans
lates that language in his mind into
United States He then would put the
pledge, If signed by the United States.
in about this form:
1.-The United States undertakes to
respect and preserve against external
aggression the territory of all mem
bers of the league" Add to this that
to the soldier external aggression" Is
merely n polite name for war and you
have article 10 as he sees It. Every
thing else is to him just camouflage.
We give our word to stand ready to
fight, on call, for any other nation in
the league that is suffering from case

The trouble might come In China, or
Siam, Greece India or Egypt. We
might be called to fight to keep 36,0OO,-
900 Chinese in Shantung under jap

British empire; we might not like the

the Chinese. or liindus, but we should
have given our word, in a plain con-
tract, and we should have to keep It.
That is the way a plain soldier
looks at the league contract, and nine
ty-five in a hundred soldiers do not
like It, They have seen foreign ma
tions and know they are foreign to us.
They know thar every foreign nation,
In war or peace, acts first and last for
Itself. II foreign nation gets into
war while acting In its own interests,
they do not see Why they should be
shipped to Europe or Asia to help it;
they do not understand why American
blood should be shed to build up any
foreign nation. Therefore. they are
against taking the pledge; they are
against article 10; they are against
the covenant.
To fight in war Is the solemnest
business on earth. Those who fought
