I'm sick of having you worry for

After he had hung up the phone
he sat for some time with his ell
bows on James Wayne's desk. 1t
was very difficult for him to compre-
hend the full meaning of what had
happened. He was convinced that
no ability of his own had decided
James Wayne; it must have been
simply that no one could have
known his brothers well without rec
ognizing that they were futile and
indecisive men.
1t was strange to think that this
desk where James Wayne had sat
so many years was now his own;
that he was supposed to sit there,
and so manage James Wayne's con-
ceptions of Alakoa that they should
be brought to ultimate fruition.
Plenty of exploitationists beside
John Colt would be waiting to swal-
low Alakoa up if he should fail, and
he did not believe that any of them
could be expected to do well by Ala
koa. It made him feel undersized,
and unready; but he could not imag-
inc failure-not in the long run.
Presently he took up the phone
again, and began trying to reach
various people in Honolulu-lawyers
mostly. The Holokai was waiting,
ready to sail. but she had to wait.

MAIL EARLY TO
HELP SOLDIERS
Must Deliver Civilian Gifts
First to Make Ready for
Armed Forces.

If thousands of soldiers, sailors and
marines, as we'll as civilians, are not
to be disappointed at Christmas time
Ely people must cooperate with the
postoffice department by mailing gift
packages earlier than ever before.
The best efforts of the postoffice
department will not be enough, in
view of the wartime difficulties
faced by the department. The public
must assist.
Indications are that the volume OF
Christmas mail will be the largest on
record. Retail sales have scared to
near record levels, presaging heavy
mailing.
Christmas packages and cards to CT
villains should be posted not later than
Dec. 10, the postoffice department ad-
vises. The packages may be marked
do Not Open Until Christmas" The
early mailing of parcels and cards to
civilians will enable the department
to give the mail for the armed forces
the attention it deserves, and the dang
er of harmful congestion will be lessen
ed greatly.

Persons to whom Christmas seals
have been mailed are requested by
Miss Ann Novak, campaign chairman,
to make their returns to her as soon
as possible.
The seals may be used for a variety
of purposes other than for packages,
Miss Novak suggests.
A wartime "alert" sounded on a
threatened increase in tuberculosis
makes specially urgent the appeal to
buy tuberculosis Christmas seals.
The seal, designed by Dale Nichols,
one of Americas outstanding younger
artists, presents rural scene of the
holiday season before automobiles came
into use. The two horses draw an old
fashioned sleigh across snow-covered
hills on which stand a rambling coun-
try house and a bright red barn.
Purchasers of the seals are urged
not to keep them for Christmas pack
ages only but to find as many other
uses for them as possible and to seal
every letter and business communica-
ton with the cheerful stamp until New
Years Day. Every seal carries mes
sage that will help to bring closer the
day when our community, state and
and nation will be free from tuber-
| culoSis.
Christmas Seal bonds are also on
SALE They may be obtained in de-
nominations from $500 and 500. The
local committee, headed by E. w. Han
son, is asking civic organizations and
business firms to purchase these bonds
as part of their community improve
ment programs, suggesting there could
be no greater improvement than wip-
ing out tuberculosis as a threat to
human lives.
THE fight against tuberculosis is
largely an educational one. 1t is sue
ceeding. Let us carry it on to glorious
conclusion. We can do it if everyone
helps" the committee urges.
