hundred at Olowalu. They are all
assembled in the Courthouse yard al
Lahaina and the Lahaina Japanese
also have a place fortified back of the
town near the church.
Manager H%aneberg states that the
only known Il of complaint which
the Olowalu Japanese have is that
they are not paid off promptly on the
last day of the month. 1t is a physical
impossibility to do this however, as
several days are necessarily consum-
ed by the bookkeeper in making up

And while Uncle Wiggily. with his
