MILFORDITES IN HONOLULU

Honolulu, gay with flowers, well
coined passengers of the S. S. Masto-
mia on April 10, with leis (wreaths)
and sweet Hawaiin music. Efrem
Zimbalist, famous violinist, was a
passenger, arriving to give several
concerts.
Among other passengers arriving
on the Matsonia were DR.. VIM. Mar
shall, Jr., and Mrs. George Marshall
of Milford.
Visitors in Honolulu are showing a
great deal of interest in meetings OF
the Territorial Legislature which is
now in session in historic 1olani
Palace, formerly the home of Ha-
waits kings. Probably nowhere else
in the United States can the travel
er find as many races represented in
one law making body. Hawaiians
predominate and "haoles" (whites)
form large proportion of the mem
bership. Portuguese are represented
an dthis year for the first time a
Chinese representative was seated.
Many of the passengers from the
Matsonia are planning trips to all of
the principal islands-to Waimea
canyon on Kauai; to Haleakala, the
worlds largest extinct crater on
Maui; and to the volcano of Kilauea
on Hawaii.
A number of unique affairs have
been planned for the entertainment
of the visitors. Luaus, or Hawaiian
feasts, hula dances and concerts are
scheduled for their pleasure in the
famous Hawaiian fashion of hospi-
tality.

Shore Association with headquarters
at Salisbury, Md. DR.. Bomberger is
now making a tour of the Pacific
coast to study the marketing meth
DDS which are being employed IN
that section of the United States,

to offer to the fruit growers of this
peninsula as to how they may secure
more satisfactory returns for their
crops.

End LIBERTY LOAN
BONDS TO Be PAID
CONTINUED from page u

for the redemption notice as was
undertaken in 1917, the Treasury
nevertheless is making a special eff
fort to inform the holders of Second
Liberty Loan bonds that their bonds
will cease to bear interest on Nov
ember 18th. Banks and trust COM
panies throughout the country VIII
be asked to cooperate with the
Government in spreading the news
of this call for redemption, and in
advising the holders of bonds that
the Treasury will probably offer new
securities in exchange. For the hrst
time the radio will be used by the
Government as means of reaching
millions of bondholders. An an
nouncement will shortly be broad
cast from the larger radio stations OF
the country.
The Importance of acquainting
bondholders with the fact that their
bonds have been called for payment
is emphasized by the Treasury's
records of previous calls for redemp-
ton of exchange. These records
show that there are still outstanding
at the present time, in the hands OF
the public, about $30,000,000 in Gov
ernment securities upon which in
terest has ceased. Included in this
amount are $3,600,000 in Victory
notes which ceased to bear interest
in 1922 and 1928. There are also out
standing $14,500,000 in temporary
bonds of the several Liberty Loans,
to which were attached only a limit
ed number of interest coupons. The
last coupons matured some seven
years ago. The holders of these tenn
porary bonds have neglected to eX-
change them for permanent bonds
having the full number of interest
coupons attached, and until such eX-
change is made they have no means
of collecting the interest. In the face
of these facts, the Treasury is espe-
cially anxious that the present an
nouncement reach as many Second
Liberty Loan bondholders as 1t is
possible to reach through the press,
the radio, and the banks of the
country.
The Second Liberty Loan, which
was issued in November, 1917, was
the second large loan floated by the
Government during the World War,
and while this loan does not mature
until 1912, the condition of the mon
ey market and of the Government S
finances makes it possible and advls-
able to call the bonds for redemption
in November.

rections northwest carried wheat
sharply down grade today at the last.
Crop news was favorable and buyers
relatively scarce Wheat closed weak

down, oats &c to nc off, and pro-
visions varying from 7c decline to 10c
advance
At first the course of wheat here
was largely a reflection of strength at
Liverpool, where wheat for. immediate
use appeared to be in active demand,
with European continental buyers re-
entering the market. Besides, good
inquiry for wheat at the Gulf of Mex
leo was noted and considerable num-
Der 2 red in Chicago had been regis
tered for outloading. On the other
hand, snow storms northwest and west
giving some promise of bumper crops
tended to induce selling and SO like
wise did favorable crop reports from
winter wheat territory southwest.
Lowest prices of the day in wheat
came during the last half hour, much

standing orders to stop losses at var
ious fixed limits The late break from
the early high point carried prices
down 2N cents a bushel in some cases.
Meanwhile, however, the cash wheat
trading basis was unchanged to 1 cent
higher for hard winter and steady for
red winter and spring.
Corn and oats went lower with
wheat, resistance to selling pressure
was evident in corn, but weakness Of
oats was pronounced. Receipts 10th

LEAD SMELLING
TO BE ARIZONA
INDUSTRY AGAIN

With the completion of the lead
smelter now being constructed by
the Phelps Dodge corporation here
the smelling of lead will become
an Arizona industry for the first
announcement of G. II. Dowell, man
ager of the Copper Queen branch
of the corporation in Bisbee and
Douglas.
Work on the new smelter is prog
ressing at a rapid rate and it is eX-
rected to be completed by the latter
Fart of June, Dowell said yesterday.
The smelter will be equipped with
one blast furnace and will have a
capacity of SO tons of lead bullion a
day. A speciality of lead and COM
plex ores will be made in the smell
ter 1t will be the first lead smelter
to operate in Arizona in 80 years
The company is also constructing
a 150-ton lead concentrator in Bis
bee, which will be completed next
month. In connection with the con-
centrator the corporation expects to
make experiments in the treatment
of complex ores, such as lead-cop-
per-zinc ores, with the idea of maxi
ing zinc constitute valuable prod"
uct, rather than an element that has
in the past been penalized when
shipped to the lead smelters.
Investigations are now being made
by the company throughout the min
ing districts of Arizona with a view
to determining the location of the
sources from which the smelter and
concentrator will draw An engineer
is working in this connection.
