Where Profits Go
In Fruit Business
Pineapple Production Falling Off Be
cause of Uncertain Prices. Can
ners Trying To Stimulate Planting.
TVirlntr llio nnst two venrn the
growers of pineapples in the territory
nave soiu tneir mm hi a loss, miihi
price 1hey will be offered by the can
ners for the present year is not yet
known, aitnougn mere is eviuence
that it may bo better than it has
been. There Is evidence that the
pack will not show the increase this
vear that it has in the past. Many
small growers on Onhu have been
put out of business by practical in
nhllltv in Hell their fruit nt all. and
a considerable acreage has been al
lowed for this reason to grow 10
weeds. On Maui the crop will be
short both lor the reason that the In
dependent glowers have not been
planting heavily, owing to uncertainty

1he plantings have already suffered so
severely in Ihe Incessant rains 01
n,i KniVi tlm mialitv nnd mmnlilv of
most of this season's pack will be
much below tne normal.
Canners Want Fruit.
In nrrl or in Kllmnlnte nlantinc. the
canning companies are now advanc
ing money to homesteaders and
others, a thing that has not been done
for several years. This Is true on
Oahu, and on Maui ttie HaiKU rrun
. Paxlrlncr Pnmnanv is also helping
to finance small growers willing to
plant. A hui composed or a pari 01
the homesteaders in the Kulaha tract
has undertaken to plant GO acres, and
has been allowed advances to the
amount of $100 per acre for the pur-
r,rn with whnt nlantinc is
being done, however, the outlook for
the Maui pack for tne next, two m
three vears is that it will be smaller
than in the past Much of the old
lands have deteriorateu so mucu ui
no attempt is being made to grow
pineapples on them.
The price paid the growers last sea
son in the Haiku section was $11.25
ffat flnco fruit. This is
probably several dollars below the
average cost 01 prouueuuu, uuu
counts for the indiiference of growers
to extend their acreage. The new
prices will be announced in May, out
at present the packers are unwilling
inHioto what thpse mav be. The
price of canned truit nas auvan.reu
somewhat during the year, and con
sequently many believe that prices for
fruit will be better.
The low prices of various Califor
nia fruits at the canneries, during the
past year, has been the subject of
much discutsion among coast grow
ers, and the following taken from the
Doi Pros, hnn enniioh in common
with local conditions to make it of
Interest to pineapple planters, me
article folows:
Ten Dollars Less Per Ton.
Ten dollars less per ton to tne
grower for fruit does not make an
iota of difference In price to the con
sumer, so does not increase consump
tion. This was emphasized at the
rmit r.rmunr' Convention bv both
Vernon Campbell and Jas. Madison.
Mr. Campbell shows that tne -regular
channels of trade" through which
canned fruit passes to the consumer,
consist of several classes 01 miuuie

30 cents per 'an for peaches in

Federation of Organizations.

bntirnr tirniiiem which would be easy
of accomplishment. We now hve in
this state many powerful growers'
co-operative associations. Our grow

that they could undeiiako this move
ment with every assurance or suc
cess. These depots could be estab
lished throughout a certain selected
district which coui'l be extended as
rapidly as desired. The California
producer would ship direct to these
lepots, eliminating estra ireigm nam
iiid middlemen piofitE; reduce the
ni-ino tr, tho rnfiKiimer' control the
retail selling priw and enable the
California producer to obtain tne
greatest possible distribution at the
ioai nnaaitilp prist A union of all
the various associations would re
duce the cost or this oistriouting sys
tem to a minimum; and in my opin
ion will be the ultimate and final so
lution to the problem of marketing
which now contronis us.
Another Job. "If you can increase
the consumption of your fruits, you
hovn nroptlpnllv cnlvpd the biccest
part of that question of making the
farmers prosperous,' says jas. mum
son, "because if the consumptive de
mand is greater than the supply,
prices will automatically bo raised.

crease, does the farmer get that in
crease? Most of the time he doeu not,

OUR ISLAND CONTEMPORARIES
Too Many Firearms.
The report of the county clerk to
thp governor shows that in the
period between July 20 and Decem
ber 31 firearms to the extraordinary
number of 600 were sold on the is
land ot Kauai. A very large num
ber of the weapons were revolvers.
This is an alarming state of affairs,
and calls for rigid investigation by
the authorities.
For what purpose, or purposes,
were so many pistols purchased by
private parties of this small com
munity in so short a time?
We want to know. The public
wants to know. The public has a right
to know.
A curse of the islands is the num
ber of pistols in the hands of Irre
tponsible parties. They have ma'le
and are making, numerous murt'.er.i
possible. And from the above show
ing it would appear that in the past
six months they have been acquired
by wholesale here.
We hope that the police department
will call for the list of purchasers of
all these firearms, go over it careful
ly and make such Investigation as Is
possible as to the whys and where
fores of turning this Island into a
pseudo arsenal. Garden Island.
Dr. Doremu8 Scudder to Wed.
Announcement was made last Fri
day of the engagement of Dr. Dore
mus Scudder, pastor of the Central
Union Church, of Honolulu, and Mis
Mabel Ethelyn Bosher, principal of
Kawaiahao Seminary. The marriage
will take place January 25th.
The Christmas Paradise.
The holiday number of the Paradise
of the Pacific is a gem of the printer's
art. It is probable that the Paradise
company has excelled its own best
efforts in this number, which is
another way of saying that it is the
finest thing In the way of a magazine
that has ever been produced in the
Islands. The cover design in colors,
is a magnifleient red hibiscus on a
black background, with border of gold.
It is rich and elegant. The many
color cuts in the book are also all
works of real art.
Nurses' Training School.
The Queen's hospital is to have a
nurses' training department and the
new branch will begin its work about
the middle of this month. There will
probably be a class of about 50 pro
bationers within a short time. The
school will be in charge of Miss A. H.
Collins, as superintendent.
Timekeeper Short $20,000
Hans Eeichelt, assistant bookkeeper
and time clerk for the Llhue planta
tion, on Kauai, who was arrested last
week on a charge of embezzlement,
Is said to be short in the neighbor
hood of $20,000. The amount had
been obtained by padding the pay
rolls during the last six years. It is
claimed that nearly $7,000 of the
amount was taken during the past
twelve months.
Danger Ahead. The young lady's
was exceedingly well developed. She
sat in blissful contentment on the sea
beach at Brighton, watching the rest
less sea and something of its grand
eur shed its light upon her soul.
"Oh, Bill," she said to the young
man by her side, " 'ow grand it all is,
ain't it? I fell as tho as tho I could
open my mouth and take it all in."
A small boy, who was on the sand
close by, looking up, a startled gleam
in his eye.
"But, I say," he remarked, "you
won't do It, will you? We only came
down here yesterday." Tit-Bits.
Faultless Logic. "Ma," remonstrat
ed Bobby, "when I was at grandma's
she let me have frultrt twice."
"Well, she ought not to have done
so, Bobby," said his mother. "I think
once is quite enough for little boys.
The older you grow, Bobby, the more
wisdom you will gain."
Bobby was silent, but only for a
moment.
"Well, ma," he said, "grandma is a
good deal older than you are." Tit
Bits. self, nor can he afford to send drum
mers to sell the small quantity he
may have, and it Is only by large or
ganizations that sucii work can be
done successfully."
He then cites tho national adver
tising campaign of the Associated
Raisin Co. who are spending $150,
000 per year or $1.50 per ton. Dur
ing the 10 months ending Nov. 1,
1914, they sold 53,000 25-pound
boxes of bulk seeded raisins. Dur
ing the corresponding ten months of
1915 they sold 350.80G boxes. If
by spending $150,000 we can in
crease the value of our raisins V
cent per pound, we will have our
money back with an extra dollar per
ton for interest on it, besides having
started bakeries to using raisins and
people to eating them, who had never
used them before.
Now if you increase consumption
so you can increase the price per
pound one cent, you bring to the
growers 2V4 million dollars but you
don't change the retail price one
iota.
"The very first man you want to
eliminate Is tho speculator, we
have absolutely eliminated him out
of the raisin business. He is the
biggest enemy of both producer and
consumer, as ho serves no purpose
but his own."

His Last Moments. The dangers of
travel by sea at this time have played
havoc with the nerves of timid pas
sengers. Early one morning recently there
was considerable commotion on the
decks of a coastwise vessel plying be
tween Savannah and Baltimore, when
a scantily clad man hurried from his
stateroom and dashed toward the up
per deck. On the way ho ran into the
captain of the vessel.
"What's the matter, captain?" he
managed to gasp. "Have we been
torpedoed ?"
"Calm yourself, my dear sir, and
be prepared for the worst," answered
the official.
"Oh, don't tell me we're going
down!" moaned tho other. "Quick,
where are the life-preservers?"
They wouldn t be of any service at
this stage," explained the ?aptain.
"Jo late?" qudw d the despairing
,ssenger.
"Yes, said the captain, viry
solemnly. We've done all we can for
you. You'll have to look out for your
self from now on. ou see. we've
just tied up to the dock." New

It isn't only the business firm or professional man,
who now raises his correspondence abovt the
mediocre through aid of the printer's art.
Just your name and address in neat lettering at top
or corner of the sheet will add an individual touch
that at once raises your letter above the dead level
of "ordinary".
The additional cost per letter is trifling.
