THREE
War Savings Stamps
Now On Sale Here
"Little Baby Bonds" Within Reach Of
Everybody, Paying Very
Fair Interest
The D;ink of Maui, Ltd., at, Wai
luku, Lahaina and l'aia have been ex
tensively announcing during the week
that they have for disposition the
war savings stamps and thrift stamps.
In offering "War-Savings Stamps"
to the puhlic the United States Gov
ernment has made immediately avail
able for every man, woman, and child
in the Country a profitable, simple,
and secure investment.
What They Are. War Savings
Stamps are the answer or a great
democracy to the demand for a demo
cratic form of a government security.
They are "little lmliy honds." Like
Liberty bonds, they have behind them
the entire resources of the Govern
ment and people of the United States.
They have the additional advantage
that they steadily increase in value
from the date of purchase until the
date of maturity, and this increase' is
guaranteed by the Government. These
stamps are issued in two denomina
tions, the 25-cent stamp and the $3
stamp.
For the convenience of investors a
"Thrift Card" is furnished to all pur
chasers of 2")-cent stamps. This card
has spaces for 1G stamps. When all
the spaces have been filled the Thrift
Card may be exchanged for a $5
stamp at post ollices, banks, or other
authorized agencies by adding 12
cents in cash prior to February 1,
1918, and 1 cent additional each
month thereafter.
Those who prefer may Ixiy a $5
stamp outright. These will be on
sale from December 3, 1917, until
January 31, 1918, for $1.12. They
automatically increase in value a cent
a month every month thereafter un
til January 1, 1923, when the United
States will pay $5 at. any post office
or at the Treasury in Washington for
each stamp affixed to a War-Savings
Certificate.
When you purchase a $5 stamp, you
must attach it to an engraved folder
known as a "War-Savings Certificate"
which bears the name of the pur
chaser and can be cashed only by the
person whose name appears upon the
certificate, except in case of death or
disability. This certificate contains
20 spaces. If these are all filled with
War-Savings Stamps between Decem
ber 3, 1917, and January 31, 1918. the
cost to the purchaser will be $82.40,
and on January 1, 1923, the Govern
ment will pay the owner of the certi
ficate $100 a net profit to the holder
of $17.60. This is based ou an inter
est rate of 4 compounded quarterly
from January 2, 1918. The amount
of War-Savings Stamps sold to any
one person at any one time shall not
exceed $100 (maturity value,) and no
person may hold such stamps or War
Savings Certificate to an aggregate
amount exceeding $1,000 (maturity
value).
If the holder of a War-Savings Cer
tificate finds it necessary to realize
cash on it before maturity, he may
at any time after January 2, 1918, up
on giving 10 days written notice to
any money-order post office, receive
for each stamp affixed to his certifi
cate the amount paid therefor plus 1
cent for each calendar month after
the month of purchase of each stamp.
A registered certificate may bo re
deemed, however, only at the post
office where registered.

Will Restrict
Sugar Allowance
Theo. II. Davies & Co., of Honolulu,
have taken the initiative in restricting
sales of sugar, as indicated in the fol
lowing letter, stmt out by L. M. Judd,
manager of the grocery department
of that concern:
"We are in receipt of a notification
from the Food Administration Com
mittee dated December 12, 1917, re
quest ing, first, that all dealers discon
tinue their advertising of sugar until
the present shortage is completely re
lieved. This clause will not aTt'ect
Hawaii.
"Sugar dealers are requested to re
strict their 6Ugar sales to retailers in
quantities not to exceed 500 pounds.
The retailer should restrict sales to
city and county customers not to ex
ceed live-pound quantities; to rural
and farm customers ten-pound quanti
ties. "Information received further states
that a number of jobbers throughout
the mainland have been severely crit
icised for endeavoring to make re
cords on selling food products includ
ing t-ugar. In some cases this has re
sulted in their licenses being with
drawn and in other cases, withdrawals
of licenses are pending. The circular
states that this is a time when not
only the letter but the spirit of the
wishes of the Food Administration
must be considered and complied
with, otherwise, licensees will tin
doubtedly be criticised and be in
danger of losing their licenses.
"Following out the above request,
and until further notice, we will only
sell sugar to retail stores in five bag
lots of any one grade."
PASSED MAUI BY
On account of the stormy weather
Saturday, night the Mauna Kea pass
ed Lahaina by without landing mail,
proceeding on to Hilo. The mail was
brought back Monday night. Per
sons booked at Honolulu for Maui
were warned there of the scant possi
bilities of landing, so wailed over for
the Claudine Monday night. The
mail thus delayed included a number
of bags from the Coast. v
Parker Ranch Puts
4,000 Acres In Corn
Wholesale Drive To Supply The Ter
ritory With Substitude For
Wheat Flour
The following story of general,
Maui interest comes from a Hilo
paper:
Alfred W. Carter, trustee of the
Parker Ranch, is proving in a big
way that a man can serve his coun
try and stay on the farm. When the
call of the Government came for
farmers to plant corn everywhere so
that wheat might be saved, Mr. Car
ter took the order as applying to him
specially. Accordingly, he planted
2,500 acres of corn. The result Is
thnt now he has corn to sell.
"I rnn smtnlv the market with corn
meal on seven days' notice, if neces
sary," says Mr. Carter.
This means that Hilo merchants
can net corn meal for their custom
ers, and that their customers can
have real corn bread, made of fresh
corn meal, on their tables on wheat-
less days.
It is Mr. Carter's intention to have
!i mill InHlsilleil nn the limitation. He
has ordered the machinery, and ex-
nirto 1 In rnmn u-illiin the next few
days. He's going to put the meal up
in attractive Dags tnat win neip to
sell the product. Further to con
servp the cnnntrv's resources. Mr.
Carter expects to have as much of
the work done by women as is. possi
ble, in order to save the man-labor
for the heavier work of the ranch.
From the 2500 acres of now ripen
ing piirn Mr Cnrtpr pxneets to have
at least 'fifty tons of corn gathered
liv the middle, of February. An ad
ditional fifteen hundred acres will be
planted this spring. This will mane
4,000 acres of corn on llie rarKer
Ranch alone.
All this corn land is plowed with
caterpillar tractors and the large
gang plow.
Not R:itintipd with the bie output of
corn from the Ranch, Mr. Carter is
planting this year 100 acres to pota
toes.
Much nf the soil of Parker Ranch
is peculiarly adapted to corn gvow-
