THE MAUI NEWS, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1917.
Merchants Should
Take Inventories
The MAUI NEWS is requested to
publish the following letter of the Na
tional Food Administration:
"All dealers in foodstuffs who were
licensed November 1 by the Food Ad
ministration will do well to take nn
inventory at once, because they will
be required to gtAe details of the con
dition of their business November 1
in their first reports, which must be
submitted at Washington December 1.
"Forms for these reports are in the
hands of the printer and will not be
immediately available. When they
are issued they will be sent at once
as a reminder that the first report
must be made. The Food Administra
tion gives this general notice now, be
cause later many dealers might have
difficulty in statins just, what stock
they had on hand November 1.
"The inventory, when compared
Willi reports of later date, will enable
the authoriiies to delcrnrne whether
hoarding has been practiced. Reports
fire to be made monthly and will be
a transcript of monthly business of
all licensees.
"Healers n perishable products
should make a careful inventory of
stocks both in hand and out of stor
age November 1 and keep a record
of the income and outgo of all mer
chandise during the succeeding
months, as well as detailed records of
the cost of all merchand'ne."
Lii HAWAII'S QUEEN
Without a scepter, wand or diadem,
Without a royal robe or crown of slate,
Without armed men (and without
need of them)
She rules among .the names of wise
and great.
-Tis much in life to sway the lives
of men;
To tell them when to come or go at
call;
To govern and to guide the citizen :
To rule in death is greater yet than
all.
This is, indeed, Hawaii's monarch's
meed.
Today they lay her mortal body down
Unto decay, as nature hath decreed.
Her spirit has assumed immortal
crown.
The cares and troubled ways of earth's
turmoil
Are past; mistakes, if any, are forgot;
And those who mourn her from her
native soil,
May well rejoice at her more happy
lot,
Hawaii's Queen, last sovereign of her
race,
By some strange fate, or alchemy of
arts,
Divested of her royal robe and place,
Yet lived and died to be our Queen
of Hearts.
By Y. Z., Tuunene, Nov. 18, 1817
Filipinos Going

The AU-Maui stars recently wallop
ed two Hilo teams and did it shame

even have a look-in. Marcval has al
so arranged for a trip to Kauai around
Christmas time and one to Manila
during the great carnval the re the
early part of next year. Advertiser.

Arrangements are being rapidly
completed for the fair of the Catholic
Ladies A'1 Society which will be

Italian Ambassador
On Food Saving Plans
The Italian ambassador at Wash
ington has issued a statement on the
above subject which the- MAUI NEWS
has been requested to publish. It
is as follows:
"The organizer of the Commission
tor Relief ',n Belgium succeeded so
wonderfully thai now a greater and
more difficult, task has been imposed
upon him, involving the destinies of
humanty. This task is made harder
by the fart that, not withstanding the
resources of the United States, the
problem of conservation of food has
to be worked out and expanded over
a vast continent which hitherto has
known no rules of limitation. But so
great an organizer and a man of such
strong will power cannot fail to ac
coniplish his noble aim when dealing
with a people of great ideals a peo
ple ready to make sacrifices for the
common cause.
"No people can understand better
than we Italians the task that con
fronts Mr. Hoover. Italy has led the
way in sell-sacrifice by imposing ra
tions on her people, even upon the
fighting soldiers. The extent of this
sacrifice should be understood
throughout the United Slates; In Italy
where even in ordinary times the
consumption of meat is at the mini
liiui'i. the sale of meat now is prohib
ited altogether for two days ol the
week; the ration of sugar has been
reduced to 17 ounces a month for
each pel son. The bread allowance
litis been reduced for the workman to
21 ounces a .day (for tlie civil popula
tion to half this amount) and even to
the fighting soldiers the quantity has
bet ii rod-need from 20 ounces a day to
21 ounces.
"People who have resorted to such
measures are well qualified to appreci
ate the plans of the United States for
the saving of foodstuffs, and to realize
how imperative it is for everybody
to collaborate promptly and fully with
Mr. Hoover in the tremendous task
to be performed for the nations and
for their arnres.
"Through the efficient cooperation
of all who live in this country a satis
factory solution of the food problem
of the world will surely be reached;
and I have no doubt that the qualities
of thrift and frugality which have been
characteristic of the Italian colonies
in America will prove an asset to this
country, in its great and noble fight
for the common cause of justice and
democracy."
(Signed)
V. MACCHI DI CELLERE,
"Italian Ambassador."
Training Completed
Last Of Next Week
The prospective new oflicers at the
training camp on Oahu are this week
undergoing the final section of the
instruction originally mapped out for
them and will finish entirely next

ternoon in some cases, at least. AH
of them expect to have Thanksgiving
dinner at home.
No information lias been received
here as to how the men will rinto
out, although there have been hints,
more or 1 ss official, from I mo to tini",
i hat practically all of them wou'd
get through. Whether or not they
will be commissioned at once is, al.io,
not known; but the assumption is
that most of them will be.
It is fairly certain that there will
l-e anoher class started after lh holi
days, to which non coins of theNation
al Guard may be admitted.
Pine Situation Good
Although still unusually dry for
that section, the weather around Hai
ku lias, for sometime, been excellent
for pineapples, and the prospects are
good for heavy crops for both can
neries. With satisfactory prices pre
vailing and in prospect t lie growers
will almost surely come out well this
season and next.

Rivenburgh Would
Hold Sugar Lands
The Advertiser publishes the fol
lowing, which Is of especial interest
just now on Maui:
Due to conditions that have arisen
as a result of the war, Bertram G
Rivenburgh, land commissioner, who
has just returned from a trip to Ha
waii with the party of visiting con
gressmen, advances the view that the
Territory should hold on to all of its
sugar lands. He urges immediate ac
tion by congress to keep the lands of
the Territory intact, so as to cause
no decrease in the production of sugar
at this time.
In talking on the question of lands
he added that conditions may change
after the war when sugar lands may
be given out for hoiuesteading. The
commissioner contended that in home
steading the government' for a long
t .me realizes little or no revenue from
lands.
Tile commissioner stated he was
going ahead with the work of dis
posing of between 6000 and 7000 acres
for homesteading. It is land that
does not grow sugar but is, he con
lends, valuable for other purposes.
Homesteading of this character, he
says, should be encouraged, as it will
increase the resources pi the Terri
tory. n

again in August. Death came rather
suddenly, although he and his friends
had known for sometime that his re
covery was not to be hoped for.
The funeral was very largely at
tended. Twenty-four cadets from La-
ha'naluna, an institution in which Mr
L'ndSey always manifested a keen in
terest, formed a part of the proces
son. A squad of police sent from

death he was the. oldest employee of
the Maui County police force.
"He had served under six Maui
sheriffs be'ng for many years past
deputy-sheriff 0f Lahaina district.
" 'Bob' Lindsey as he was known
among his many fr'ends was most
popular among both foreigners and
Hawaiians. He was 'nterested in
the affairs of poor and rich alike and
by his diplomacy and intelligence
helped to settle many cases outside
of court. It will be difficult to till
'Bob's' place in the community."
RED CROSS ITEMS
Several new Red Cross sewing cir

weeks. The women of Makawao are
meeting once a week on Wednesday
with Mrs. Hardy. Mrs. Rosecrans is

CAUGHT YOUNG MULLET
A Japanese named G. Yanabe was
arrested at Kihei on Monday for catch
ing young mullet, which is contrary
to law. He put up bail in the sum
of $20, but was evidently afraid to
face the court, forfeitting his bail
money.

money which he had deposited.
It is believed that. Hirahara under
stands his business, but his fail'ng is
that he speaks the Japanese language
only and is consequently unable to
obtain a license. Papers found among
his belongings show that he had prac
ticed nied'eine at. Singapore and other
places. The law requires an examin
ation in the English language.
The police claim that Il'rahara is
new in I ho Islands, having been here
les.i than a year. He has been on
Maui only a couple of weeks or so.
New Manag;0f
Maui Wine Company
By deals which were consummated
this week J. Onishi, general mer
chant of Kahului, secured a large
block of the stock of the Maui Wine

Morn retires from the management of
the company and is succeeded by J
Miyamoto. Mr. Onishi and D. Aki
mori become members of the boani
of directors. 7
Aside from the retirement of Mr
Born, and the selection of Mr. Miya
moto to the management, there will be
no changes, at least for the presein
in the staff of the company. V
The Maui Wine &. Liquor Co., 1(B9
had a more or less varied career, on
der different managements, and inr
stockholders now seem to feel that
its future will be more settled.

Rainfall Last Week
Light Everywhere
The rainfall last week was light
throughout the Islands, Hawaii, Oahu
and Kauai, as well as Maui showing
far below normal. The fall by is
lands was as follows: Maul, 0.07;
Oahu. 0.56: Kauai. 0.10. These are
uerages.
At Kaanapali and Wailuku the pre
cipitation was not sufficient to meas
ure. HatKu had u.j.z ana Miiua, u.u.
The total for the previous four weeks
was as follows: Kaanapali, 0.34;
Wailuku, 0.57; Haiku, 3.28; Kailua,
36.
Through Koliala the week was very
dry. Honomu reported rain ana at
Ponahawai mo'.sture was reported left
in the soil.
Kauai had a taste of the drought,
although the year has been excellent
and the rainy season is now close at
hand.
Summoned From Maui
As Plot Witnesses
Sarangahndhar Das, chemist for the
Maui Agricultural Co., and his wife,
a Swiss lady, have been subpoenod by
the prosecution to appear as wit-
ueses in the noted Hindu conspiracy
uses which are now being tried at
San Francisco. U. S. luarsnai &miu-
dv came to Maui at the beginning of
the week to serve the papers on the
couple.
A secret service man came to Maui
several months ago and worked up
considerable evidence in this matter.
He was followed some time later by
two other men, posing as "commercial
travellers" on vacation. It' is not un
likely (hat at least one other witness
may be -called from here before the
cases are finished, and there may be
more than one.
It is reported that Das figures in
some of the bushels of correspondence
on the Hindu conspiracy matter which
the United States government seized.
