FIVE RED CROSS LINER FLORIZEL WRECKED ON THE REEFS NORTH OF CAPE RACE, N. F. THE MAUI NEWS, FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1918. Sugar Must Be Sold At Reasonable Rates "The jobbers of the country should sell their sugar on a reasonable and fair basis. "The Food Administration has de termined that, pending further an nouncement, any wholesaler or jobber who sells sugar at an advance over the delivered cost to him greater than that at which wholesalers or Jobbers customarily sell sugar, shall be deem ed to have taken an unreasonable protlt within the meaning of the Act of August 10, 1917. "The action of the Food Adminis tration with respect to sugar or any other commodity is effective only dur ing the period of the war between the United States and Germany. "For the purpose of determining whether an unreasonable profit has been taken in any case, the Food Ad ministration will carefully scrutinize any sale of sugar by wholesalers or jobbers made at an advance or more than 15 cents or 25 cents per hundred pounds over refiners' lists according as the local delivery cost or other necessary expenses of such whole salers and jobbers may justify. The Food Administration will also scrutin ize any sales by retailers made at an advpnee of more than one cent per pound over their landed cost. The," figures are positively not to be re 1 as fixed nor to be taken as a uniform level for competitors in any section. There may be cases where the margin should be less, and the Food Administration will judge each case on its merits. These figures have been adopted merely as tentative guides by which the Gov ernment may, upon investigation, de termine whether in any particular case an unreasonable profit has been exacted. "The Food Administration Act of August 10, 1917, as well as the Sher man Act of July 2nd 1890, and other state and federal statutes, imperative ly require that free competitive con ditions shall prevail. "It positively is not the purpose of the ' Food Administration an em ergency body created in time of great national crisis to countenance the sale of sugar by distributors at a greater return to themselves than they enjoy in normal times. "The benefit of the price agreed to by the Government with the beet su gar people and the refiners, should be carried through to the consumer. "The Food Administration has not the power to license retailers doing a business of $100,000 or less a year, but they are nevertheless subject to the other provisions of the statute, In cluding those as to hoarding, specu lation, and combination, and will be dealt with as provided by rules and regulations. "J. F. CHILD Food Administrator for Hawaii." Dr. Geo. S. Aiken has been appoint ed dental specialist on the medical examining board for the selective draft. Forty-four survivors, all who were left of the ship company of 136, were taken from this ill-fated Red cross liner Florizol, which struck a reef north of Cape Race, N. F., during a terrific blizzard. The survivors were taken off by the crew of the Prospero, which was sent by the government to the scene with special life saving apparatus. Of the rescued, 17 were passengers; only two of the 12 women and none of the four children were saved. The Florizel Is shown here as an ice breaker in New York harbor. The vessel has steel prow, backed by concrete, and during the recent cold spell it broke ice in the lower bay and opened traffic to coal barges.

The latter will not be entered for awards, but as exhibits of unique and unusual effects mat can be accomplished in photographic art. Another feature or more man orain ary interest promised for the art show will be an exhibit of war post ers, gathered from Russia, England, France, Italy, Canada, Australia and the United States. Prepared by the foremost cartoonists ana painters na tions at war, as their contribution to the cause of the Allies, these present a phase of art that stands apart from all that has ever been done in the past, and in popular Interest should prove one of the fair's best attrac tions. , , L Masterpieces on canvas, In statuary, wood and metal work, wrought jewel ry, porcelains and pottery, the new est and best works of Honolulu s art colony, the work of Island art Bchools such as Punahou, College of Hawaii, Kamehameha, Hilo Boarding School, etc., will constitute other sections or the art and crafts show.

THE POULTRY SHOW Kint lonat nmnne the spectacular features of the poultry show at the territorial fair will be an exhibit of game cocks, shown largely by Japan ese and Filipino fanciers who in former years entertained sport-loving crowds ana won tneir own nveuuw by the prowess of their feathered fighters in the came pit. rr xnnrao tho law no loneer per mits cock fighting but there are sun many small flocks of these warrior kiwio in rtifrnrpnt- nana 01 me jainuuo, cherished by their owners for the fame of past deeds of the valour of their ancestors. All these fanciers are invited to exhibt their finest and noblest cock-fighting strains at the forthcoming show, 'mere win ue u .nnnrtiinltv to win game-pit cnamy lonships there, but Judges who know well the championship marks of the war breed will be selected to pick iuu finest and award premiums on points it ia nrnhaMa Tin entrance fee will be charged for any exhibit in the poul try show.

Blue ribbons will go to the heaviest Tnm ti'irVpv. heaviest buck and heavi est doe rabbit, heaviest male and fe mnlfl ducks and geese. In all dis- Pineapple Concerns May Be Combined Maui interests now have the con trol of the Haiku Fruit & Packing-Co. It Is the intention of the people who control to combine the two proper ties of the Maui Pineapple Co., and the Haiku Fruit & Packing Co. The combination will probably be effected by increasing the capitalization of Haiku Fruit & Packing Co. from 1350,000 to $410,000 or Issuing 3000 shares of Haiku stock to the stock holders of Maul Pineapple Co. The exchange ratio will be four shares of Haiku for five shares of Maui Pine apple Co. Under this combination the yearly pack should not be less than 400,000 cases. The pineapple Industry has received quite a boost on account of the gov ernment ruling that pines are a necessity and not a luxury. The gov ernment has already requisitioned ten percent, of the Hawaiian pack, and there is every Indication that it will absorb a still greater percentage before the end of the year. Hawai ian pineapple will be introduced into France and other places occupied by the army. Developments have been such that Honolulu interests in the Haiku Fruit & Packing Co., have been absorbed by local parties, so that the pine apple business on this. island will be owned and bandied by local parties. Waialua Church Dedicated The dedication of the Waialua Church will take place on Sunday, March 17th. The church is one of the most attractive on Molokal. The Hawaiian people who make up this congregation are the beautiful Molo kal chorus which have taken the ban ner so often in the song contests be tween the Islands. Rev. Rowland B Dodge goes to Molokal tomorrow to represent the Hawaiian Board and the Maul Association at this dedica tion. It is expected that no other superintendent or representative of the Board will be present, because of the fact that special services are being held on Oahu at this time. TWO SPEEDERS FINED Pedro Albaris and Robert Miller were arrested at the week-end for ceedlng the auto speed limit on the roads. Neither of the men felt like facing the court, forfeiting bail of $5 each. MARRIED STATEUP-PEILER At Waialua, Oa hu, March 2, 1918, Clarence W. Stateup and Miss Myrtle Peiler, Chaplain H. L.
