views on smoking in legislative and

Alice, eff women smoke cigarettes in

do at dinner in New York, why may
not men smoke in the presence Of
women? Do not stop smoking merely
because I am here. I do not consider
smoking either objectionable or in

Not a Prof table Investment.

| Not a Profitable Investment.
f, AS result of the phenomenal adj
vance in Iowa land values during the
spring and summer of 1919, the Unit
ed States department of agriculture,
in cooperation with the Iowa state
college Of agriculture, made an inves-
tigation, which shows that the prices
at which farm land was sold in many
sections Of that state were too high to
justify the returns which can be made
from it. It was found that the aver
age value Of Iowa farm lands in
creased 1921 per acre in the five years
from 1915 to 1920, and that sea Of this
Increase occurred between March,
1919, and March, 1920, the twelfth
month including the period of the
boom. Over 65 per cent of the buyers
and over Sc per cent of the sellers
were farmers, while, contrary to gen
eral belief perhaps, less than per
cent of the buyers and but little over
II per cent of the sellers were real
estate men. The facts relative to che
per cent of the return on investment
in these lands which were brought out
make it clear that they are valued
in excess of their earning capacity.
The Investigators point out that with
land paying but per cent on capital
ization, and loans running at 6 per
cent or more, buying farm on a large
margin Of credit is difficult under
taking for the farmer of average abili.
ty as manager.
While Minnesota farms have natur.
ally advanced in price they have moi
! skyrocketed like those Of Iowa, anc
are splendid investments-whcn prop
erly cultivated they give good returns
Then there are large areas Of wild
lands in this state which may be OBJ
tanned at reasonable prices and or
longtime terms Of payment.

JOSEPH A. AHEONG

After a long illness, Joseph A.
Aheong, formerly of Makawao n
well known on Maui as a successful
contractor and builder, died in Homo
lulu last Friday. Funeral services un-
der the auspices of Hawaii Chapter
No. /, Order of Kamehameha, of
which he was a charter member n
interment was in the family plot in
Makiki cemetery.
Mr.. Aheong, who was a son OF
Rev. S. P. Aheong now deceased, was
born on Oahu, August 10, 1864 and
came to Maui about Is years ago, en-
tering in the contracting business
here and being heavily interested in
the Kaupakalua wine and liquor COM
pany. He had been a contractor on
Oahu before coming here. On Maui
he was successful business man until
he was forced to retire from active
affairs as a result of tuberculosis. He
built a number of school houses and
school cottages here. About a year
and a half ago he retired to Homo
lulu and entered Leahi Home but 1t
was impossible to check the ravages
of the disease.
Never married, the deceased is sur
| viyed by two sisters, Mrs. ii. L. Rob
inson of Paia and Mrs. William Lucas
of Honolulu. He had many friends
both in and outside of business con-
nections on Maui and news of his
death was received here Saturday
with sincere regret.

j. W.. l.. MARSHALL

One of the figures in the early and
struggling days of the sugar industry,
though out of Island sugar affairs for
more than Is years, J.. w. l.. Marshall,
passed away at his home on upper
Wells street, Waikiki, early Saturday
morning. Funeral servicse were held
Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Marshall was a Philadelphia
by birth and would have been 81 years
old had he lived until today. He came
to the Islands when little more than
a boy and lived in Maui county for
35 years, until he went to Porto Rico
where he became connected with an
important sugar company. He return
ed to Maui in October of last year to
spend his declining days in his old
home.
One of the early employees at
Spreckelsville, Mr.. Marshall went with
the H. C. & S. Co. after that com
pany took over the Spreckels inter
ests. At different times he was on
Molokai and on Lanai and was for a
number of years with the Wailuku
Sugar Co, head luna in the Wal
hee section. For many years he lived
on Wells street but for a part of his
residence he lived on a place he own
ed at Kahakuloa.
His occupation outside of Wailuku
did not throw him in contact with
public affairs to any great extent but
he formed many friendships that last
ed over his Is years absence into his
return home. Somewhat retiring in
disposition he was kindly in manner
and in disposition and most likable
when acquaintance ripened into
friendship. In family affairs he was
an a%ffectionate husband and parent
He is survived by his widow and
daughter here and a son in New York.
Since his return to Maui Mr.. Mar.
shall has not enjoyed good health and
had been failing steadily for several
weeks before his death.

Former Secretary Of
Promotion Committee
In Jail in Chicago

Associated Press dispatches reach
ing the Islands last week told of the
arrest in San Francisco early in
October of Fred J. Halton who was
for some time the secretary of the
Hawaii Promotion Committee in Ho-
nolulu and afterward with a trans
portation concern in Chicago. He
was taken back to Chicago from the
Bay City and has since been in Jail
awaiting trial.
Fred J. Halton, formerly of Homo
lulu, is held in Jail here awaiting trial
November q on a charge of embezzle
ment preferred by Frank Scott, steam
ship agent. Scott charges Halton sold
tickets and kept approximately $4,000.
Fred j. Halton, former secretary of
the Hawaiian promotion committee,
says in letters to Honolulu friends
that the matter in which he is involv-
ed is the result of an attempted re-
pudiation of a partnership, and states
he is confident that when the court
record is complete he will be fully
cleared.
After the exoneration, which he ex-
poets he adds, he will be in a posi-
ton to demand an accounting of the
partnership assets.
Halton, who had planned to come
to Honolulu with delegates to the
Press Congress and who did consider
able work in connection with trans
portation and publicity for the con-
gress, was arrested at San Francisco
October 4, booked as a fugitive from
Justice, and held in the city prison
until October IL, when he was turned
over to an officer from Chicago, AS
ISOLATED Press dispatches say.
