LABOR CRYING NEED

The emphatic necessity of today is that we have got % have more labor
on the sugar plantations" Z. A. R. Ross, secretary of G. Brewer & Company,
said in the Honolulu Advertiser The shortage is hitting all our planta-
lions in this way-when there is enough labor W e IA harvest u cane at
it's period of highest sucrose and purity. This period lasts from January Is
to June IS Cane harvested before or after that date falls short OF maximum
sugar yield.
Cane cut after it is ripe has dried up and lost its sweetness; if cut be-
fore maturity the purity Of the juices is low. The only time to harvest the
crop is when the crop is ripe, neither before or afterwards"
To illustrate what is happening N some of the HamakuA plantations
where, because there were not enough mel, the harvest and grinding have
been delayed far beyond normal practice, Mr. Ross has figures showing the
ratio of tons cane to tons sugar On this plantation the average ratio from
January to September was S6:1. By weeks the ratio widened during
August 81 the first week, 915:1 the second, 9S:1 the third and 96G:1 the
last week.
This is all an that ought to have been ground two O. three months
ago. The widening of the ratio meal that it takes nine and twothirds tons
of can Ito make a ton of sugar today, against eight and twothrds only a
month ago. The loss is a labor loss" Ross said. 1--WE simply cannot get
the labor"

WHAT OTHERS SAY
HOW SHoCKING!

A dreadful thing happened over on Maui recently, and the shocking part
of it is that there is Photographic evidence. Several ships visited the Val
ley Isle recently. The crews had a great time ashore. They motored and
rambed about and visited cane plantations and pineapple canneries and
took in the sights, everything, the extinct crater of Haleakala.
Some of them saw some houses that we're apparently empty. They were
nice looking bungalows. The sailors found their way in, so the tale goes
When the schoolmarms returned to the cotages-they were teachers
cottages-there were evidences of occupancy, but nothing was disturbed SO
far a could be learned. The teachers felt relieved, and took their cameras,
which had been in the houses right along, to town to have their films de
veoped.
But, oh my, when those films we're developed the pictures showed
punches of men atHred a la Adam. That was their little joke-Eonouu

Maui was prepared to invite the American Legion to the Valley
Isle for its next convention and "to go the limit in promises of en-
tertainment, but when it developed that General Summerall is de-
slrous OF bringing the service men and civilians into closer contact
and on his behalf it was asked the convention be held at Luke Field
Maui gracefully withdrew.

THANK YOU!

The first issue of the SemiWeekly Maui News has been received. We
would like to say that it is an improvement over the Weekly Maui News
which it succeeds, but except that it is larger in size and contains a full
Associated Press report, we cannot see that it is any better than the weekly.
The plain truth is that it is mighty difficult for Joe Gray to improve upon
his own handiwork. The paper is splendid but so was the Weekly News
Honolulu Advertiser.

of redemption. The interest will not be large, but there must be
added to return secured the element of insurance against loss of
crops by the growers, loss Of rentals by the land owners.
They may not be ready yet to put the project through, but i: is
time to give such a proposal as the above careful consideration and
to begin making plans and preparations for the taking of some of
such bonds if or when they shall be offered for subscription.

pleasant friendships and leave behind only pleasant memories.

Demonstration fn
 Canning Of Medt
Mir. Editor:

Mir. Editor:
 Please allow me space in your valuable paper to speak of the splendid demonstration Of how to live at home, given by our home demonstration agent, Jennie Lou Woodland, assisted by the district agent, Mary L. Ray, and local agents from Phillips and St. Francis cOun- ties. 4 farmer Chas. Anthony, of the Ringville community, told me as his wife had canned spareribs, backbone, sweet potatoes, etc., he had several calves and he was thinking of getting the home dem onstration agent to come out and help his wife, or give her some in- struction. l told him it would be a good thing to make this a public affair, as it would be instructive to all who came. Mary l.. Ray, our district agent, took the matter up with the state home demonstra- ton agent, Miss Connie J. Bons- lagel, who gladly consented and authorized other agents to assist in the demonstration.
 We arrived on the scene on the morning of the 9th inst.,. The beef was killed the evening before, weighing 130 or more pounds, had cooled in a sanitary place. We, the men agents, cut the beef in steaks, roasts, stews and soup bones. The home demonstration agents, assist ed by trained farm women, got busy and by 600 p. nn the whole beef was canned and ready for inn mediate use. Why not push ex- tension work, can our meat, vege- tables and fruit at home and cut the high cost of ilving? More than one-half dozen communities were represented with more than 100 per- sons present.
 Eighty No. 2 cans of roast, steak, stew and soup stock were put Gp. We must thank The Karicofe Com pany for their cooperation in lend ing an oil stove which was very much appreciated. and needed in the demonstration.
 Another interesting feature this week was lantern slides sent out by the extension department which was very instructive to our people.

HOWAT men WORK
Less Than Thousand of Mine
Cars Supporters Idle.
Are 124 Kansas Coal Mines Now
in Operation.

Indianapolis, Dec. 9.-Less than one
thousand men who quit the Kansas
mines at the call of Alexander Howat
in protest against the industrial court
law in that state, are idle at the pres
ent time, according to a statement is
sued today from international head
quarters of the U. NJ. W. A.
Inf rmation just received at miners
headquarters from James Sherwood
chief inspector of mines for the state
of Kansas, is to the effect that 124
mines are now in operation. John L.
Lewis, international president, said he
had been informed from other sources
that $500 miners have returned to
work
Eighty-one local unions in Kansas
went on an 'fnsurgent strike" at the
call of Howat, SPIT men being in
volved.
Union officials estimate that 1000
of these workmen have left the state.
As result of the strike Howat was
deposed as president of the Kansas
district and eighty-one local unions
lost their charters. The deposed
leader now is serving a Jail sentence
for contempt of court.
Miners officials said today that
new local unions are being organized

charters were revoked
