FARMERS SHOULD BORROW MONEY

1t is to be hoped that the farmers of Maui will take full advantage
of the opportunity to borrow money from the territory under the provi
sons of the Loan Fund Act which has been in force for some months
past Il 15sG
Lack OF capital has wrecked many a promising business concern
and has retarded the legitimate development of very many others. 1t
has held back farmers all over the world to perhaps greater degree than
in any other line of business, because the ordinary lines of banking
credit have not been available to the farmer as it has to others. More
over lack Of knowledge of business methods has handicapped farmers
in making skllful use of such facilities for credit as have been open
to them. .
!. Many a farmer and farmers family thinks of borrowing money
and securing the loan with a mortgage on the farm as the last desperate
resource, to be employed only under compusion of direst need. But
this should not be the attitude, and will not be when farmers become
accustomed to business methods and are able to secure credit adapted
to their special needs.
1t was to supply this need that the loan act was passed. 1t is
now possible for a farmer to borrow the money he needs to make his
farm produCuVe-tOr fencing, buildings, machinery, or livestock. More
over he pays but o percent interest on the loan, and he pays off principal
and interest on long time and on a amortization plan which makes the
payments very easy. That is the debt is paid off in payments which
include the principal and interest so that the interest constantly grows
less.
IN improving their property by advising with them in the purchase OF
materials, stock, etc. and, If it does its full duty can undoubtedly be
of greatest assistance. Wise farmers will make every use of this new
law that they possibly can.

holidays is an exceedingly doubtful
way to enlist full undivided patriotism
for the country in which their children
will claim citizenship. 1t is not, in
my opinion, an intentional misdemean-
or upon the part of the majority of
those who display them, but FROM
psychological point of view it is a
decidedly faulty custom. Many people
believe that it is time our legisla-
ture passed a law that no national
emblem except the American flag
should be publicly displayed without
the consent of the local governing
body. If these are our sentiments it
is time we got busy.

THE MAUI WOMAN'.S CLUB

Maui is to be congratulated on its new Womans Club. 1t is an.
other evidence of the Maui Spirit. 1t marks another step forward not
only for Maui but for the territory as well.
No one can note the comprehensive organization of the new club
without being impressed with the seriousness of purpose that is back
of it ALL That all of the objects may not be reached does not in any
sense indicate that as a whole the work will not be tremendously well
worth while.
The endeavors of the Club as outlined parallel or complement. in
large measure the work of the Maui County Fair & Racing Association.
Which suggests that, without sacrificing its identity, the new Club
should be very closely associated with the big Maui organization.
We believe that the women of Maui have not only made a good
start, but will accomplish much through the Maui Woman's Club.
KOlchak threatens to give a part of Siberia to Japan unless the
Allies give him their aid. Maybe Kolchaks deed would be good. but
there's a pretty good chance that the title would be contested as soon
as Russia sobers up from her present orgie.

OUR DANGEROUS GOOD ROADS

While Maui is proud of her many miles Of oilsurfaced roads, they
have their disadvantages. When wet they arc a fright for horses and
other live stock.
This week a $500-IIosten heifcr, which had wihstood the long
rail and sea journey from British Columbia, slipped and broke a leg
almost as soon as she set foot on Maui soil. A day or two ago a pass
erby on Main street, Waikiki might have witnessed three mules in q
wonderful tange of legs and harness, just below the Maui Hotel Such
scenes have become Sc common that they attract little attention. But
they are serious.
In England and in perhaps a few other places, it is customary to
have an unpaved bride path thanking most paved roadways for use OF
animals. On Hawaii, where only concrete roads are much i'm favor AT
present, they are considering building the road to the Volcano in two
.lOtoot concrete strips with a concrete strip between,

Before the pleasant enthusiasm of the New Years dance and race
meeting has time to become dimmed, a vigorous campaign for new mem.
bers to the Maui County Fair & Racing Association would seem to be
very much in order. The splendid facilities for sport, education and
recreation which the new grounds and buildings of the Association
afford, are for all Maui. 1t should be the pride of every Maui resident
to be a part OF this great al-Maui organization.
There were many men and women at the opening of the territorial
building on New Years eve who are not members of the Association,
but there was not one of them who should not be.

IMPROVING CATTLE-uPROVING Maui

The arrival of more and more high bred cattle to Maui. is a matter
for general qualification. This island has already won an enviable repu-
tatOn through her development of beef breeds, and now the interest
in dairy cattle promises soon to put her in an equally prominent posi-
ton in this branch of stock raising.
The breeding of mich cattle is particularly to be commended from
the fact that it means so much to the health and development of the
people of the island. 1t is directly in line with the work for better babies
Besides this the building up of high milking strans of cattle in the
Islands may have very far reaching results for the future of the terri
tory. 1t will certainly help to solve the problem of making the Islands
self suppOrting-somethng that must ever be considered. The men
who1are improving the cattle of Maui are doing a useful and patriotic
work, and we trust a profitable work as we'll

WHY ISLAND ELECTRIC HEARING IN HONOLULU

Just why the public utilities commission should hold a hearing of
the Island Electric Companys affairs in Honolulu instead of in Wal
luku where everybody interested lives, isn't clear. If the commission
ers, who are only three in number, really want to help Waluku, why
should they not come here instead Of expecting private citizens TO 20
to the time and expense OF making a trip to the city in order to do a
community service?
The utilities commission acts as if it thought the people of Wal
luku had no real concern in the Island Electric Company's affairs
whereas this companys affairs are more the business of the people of
the town than of any one else, not excepting the stockholders and bond
holders of the concern. The day when public utility monopoies can
operate on the pubhcbe-damned principle may not be past, but il is
certainly passing, and it is up to the utility commissioners to help speed
the day. Let's have some light.

TOO MUCH JAPANESE FLAG
Editor Maui News,

Editor Maui News,
Dear Sir: The people of the Terri

spirit toward the interests of all the
people living here in our midst. Each

The Maui news. [volume] (Wailuku, Maui, H.I.) 1900-current, 1920-01-09

The oIentatious display of the japanese flag on New Years dayon
Maui has aroused a large amount of unfavorable criticism. The WoA
mans Club discussed the matter at its meeting this week; and Robert
Judd. head Of the Americanizauon work on Maui deals with the matter
in a letter TO the Maui News, published in another column of this issue.
There is no law on the matter, and there should be no need of any
law. The only thing lacUng is a little tact or understanding on the
part of our Japanese friends. Solely as a matter of courtesy, If nothing
more, aliens in displaying their own coors should always display at the
same time, and with equal or greater prominence. the flag of the country
IN which they are living at the time. This should be expected of Amer
leans in Japan, and it is reasonable to expect it of japanese in America.
Any other course is in bad taste.
