NUMBER 940 TERRITORY FAIR IS PLANNED ON LARGER SCALE Portions Of Streets Adjacent To Aala Park To Be Added To Big Show Site SOME IDEAS FOR EXHIBITS The Honolulu board of supervisors has granted permission to tho fair commission to fence off a large part of Beretania, River, Hotel and King streets adjoining Aala Park, to be used as a part of tho fair grounds during tho big territorial show, June 10 to 15. Along Beretania street, mauka of Aala Park, the fence will extend to the middle of the thoroughfare. On King street the fencing will extend out a distance from the curb, leaving room for vehicle traffic mauka of the car tracks. It will take in most of River street and out directly across that avenue at Pauahi to include a plot 100 feet square, where a live stock Judging stand is to be erected. Big structures will be built on Riv er street, within the fair ground en closure, to house all livestock. This arrangement with the city supervisors enables the fair board to make the grounds considerably larger than Aala Park alone would allow. The space thus gained on Beretania street probably will be set aside, to gether with the children's playground, for amusement concessions.

He wrote a letter over, saying that he would arrive at Kahului in his sea-plane on the morning of that day, and people gathered along the beach all the way from the club house to Wailuku.

There is to be a Wholesalers and Retailer grocer Pledge Poster Drive In Honolulu, as there has been in the States. The aim of tho Administration, has constantly been to accomplish its purposes with a minimum of compul sion, through voluntary support and compliance with the law, in spirit as well as in letter, on tho part of patri otic manufacturers, wholesalers, re tailers, and others handling staple foods. There are solid grounds for this aim. Already hundreds of firms en gaged in these business have freely pledged their co-operation and backed their pledges by action. All retailers of food, of whom there are more than 400,000 in the United States, are to be reached by this cam paign. Each will be invited to enlist as a member of the Food Administra tion.

Kalanianaole sends from Washington to the Maui News the following, which is self-explantatory, and is in tended to reach parents of Ha waiian soldiers and sailors: To The Mothers of Hawaii: . Hawaii is responding nobly to the call of the nation for soldiers and sailors. Hawaiian boys are serving in every branch of our great mili tary and naval establishments. Tho rare and well bei.iu of these brave Hawaiians is a source of deep concern to the mothers, fathers, brothers and Bisters. During the period of the war I deem it my duty to keep in touch with these Hawaiian sol diers and sailors; to aid them in their troubles and hours of illness. It will be impossible for me to communicate direct with each sailor and soldier. Will their mothers and fathers, brothers and sisters, when writ ing to them, state that if ill ness or misfortune overtake them that they communicate with me at Washington so that immediate steps can be taken for their relief? J. K. KALANIANAOLE, Child "Lines Up" Dealers And Fishmen J. F. Child, food administrator of the Territory, paid a rush visit to Maul on Satuday. He had been over to Hawaii, where, on Thursday, at Hllo, he conferred with the board of trade, dealers, fishermen, etc., in re gard to strict observance of conser vation rales; and came on here to continue the same work. The pur pose of his tour was, mainly, to try and bring about more uniformity in conservation methods on the differ ent islands, something which is diffi cult to do by correspondence. As an nounced in last Friday s issue of this paper, Mr. Child wirelesseuI!Tr. J. J. Walsh that he was coming on Satur day and wished to hold meetings with food dealers and with fishermen. Mr. Walsh arranged for these meetings, which were held in the circuit court room, at Wailuku. Mr. Child is endeavoring to bring about uniformity of meat and fish prices on all the islands, and it is understood that he succeeded in this on Hawaii. He was promisea the assistance of the Vigilance Corps members, both on Hawaii and here. "All of the islands of the group are now lined up under Federal regula tions," eaid Mr. Child, in comment ing on his tour. "I feel that the or ders of the food administration will be uniformly obeyed, that there will be no 'profiteering and everything will now run with reasonable smooth ness." tt- Edings Leaving For First Circuit Court Judge W. S. Edings received a wire less Wednesday from Washington that his appointment to be judge of the first circuit court, Honolulu, had been confirmed by the Senate. He left the same night for the city to make ar rangements for his new home and business there. It is the intention Of Judge Edings to return to Wailuku to morrow or Sunday, and he will prob ably leave in about a week to re main away permanently. There seems to be an opinion in Washington and at Honolulu that Judge Edings, will not remain long on the circuit bench at Honolulu, but will very soon be appointed to the supreme bench.

The proceeds of admission, as well as a collection, which will be taken up by Governor Carter at the end of the performance, will go to pro viding for children in France whose fathers have been killed and whose mothers are unable to look after them.

The pictures show the immense quantity of ammunition used, big guns in action and a real fight in the air, the latter being extremely inter esting.
