National Guard March 31, 1917, 4,237;
loss since declaration of war (approx
imate,) 964.
The loss in the National Guard is
due to the fact that on March 31, 1917,
the National Guard consisted of four
(4) regiments, which by orders for
new regimental formation, have been
reduced to two (2); and to the fact
that a large percentage of married
men have been discharged since
March 31, 1917.
The organization is very patriotic
and, beginning with the Mexicaji
difficulties, has eagerly sought active
service and no longer than, yesterday
(January 31) the officers, of their
own suggestion, cabled The Adjutant
General, Washington, urging they be
mobilized.

Goats Must Go
If Kahoolawe
Island Leased
Along lines suggested by Land
Commissioner Bertram G. Rivenburgh
In case Kahoolawe island should be
restored to the land department, Gov.
ernor Pinkham has proposed the fol
lowing restrictions and embodied
them in the letter to the commission
er in which he states that the board
of agriculture and forestry:
1. The extermination immediately
of nil goats on said island.
2. That not to exceed 200 head of
beef cattle be pastured on the island,
unless, after inspection, the land com
missioncr decides a greater number
can be properly sustained.
3. That a suitable number of
horses be kept on the island to spread
kiawe bean sand extend the forest
area.
4. That the grass or beans be so
pastured that dancer of fire will be
reduced to the minimum.
5. That rigid restrictions be stipu
lated against the use of fire and
matches.
6. That some system of water
catchment and storage of same be
provided for by the leasee.
7. That the land commissioner
make such other coditions that seem
to him just and reasonable.
8. That the interest of the lease
Is primarily to conserve and restore
the island to its utmost value.
9. That the present purpose of a
lease is to develop the island rather
than to i?act an extreme rental '.hat
would tend to force exploitation.
The Work Of The
Vigilance Corps
Captain H. Gooding Field, Q. M. R.
So., in charge of the Selective Draft
for the Territory of Hawaii, has asked
the various branches of the Hawaii
Vigilance Corps on the different Is
lands to co-operate with the various
Local Boards and the police depart
ments of the different Counties, in a
concerted effort to round-up draft
evader3 and persons subject to draft
who have not complied with the vari
ous provisions of the Selective Ser
vice Law.
The Executive Committee of the
Maui Branch of the Hawaii Vigilance
Corps at a special nutting called for
this purpose on Tuesday last, under
took on behalf of the Hawaii Vigi
lance Corps to assist In every possible
way in rouding up such delinquents.
The direct charge of the work will be
in the hands of the various sub-committees
of the Vigilance Corps to
gether with the heads of various plan
tations, ranches, and large employers
of labor.
All of the members of the Maul
Branch of the Hawaii Vigilance Corps
are expected to assist in every pos
sible way in carrying out the object
of the campaign which is to round
up and turn over to the proper author
ities all draft evaders.
Every person who has complied the
draft regulations has or is entitled to
have a notice of final classification,
Form 1007, P. M. G. O. and unless he
has such notice of final classification
he should be apprehend nnd an in
vestigation made as to why he has not
this card. Persons whose final classi
fication shows him to be classed in
Clans 1 should also have notice of the
result of the physical examination as
all Class 1 men have been called for
physical examination and unless they
have taken the examination they are
also delinquent.
The date of the drive will be one
day next week and all members of
the Vigilance Corps who will assist in
the drive are asked to communicate
with Mr. Bevlns or with a member of
the Local Board to ascertain just
what persons sublect to draft should
have and should have done to comply
with the draft regulations. Particul
ar attention 13 airectea to tne lact
that final classification cards should
be carried by all persons who have
them as unless they have these cards
in their possession they are liable to
considerable inconvenience.
n
Honor Flag Raised
The final act at the Liberty Loan
meeting of Wednesday evening was
the raising of Maui's Honor Flag.
This event occured when the allot ed
portion of the Liberty Loan Bonds
that it was necessary for Maui to take
had been met, the Honor Flag being
attached underneath Old Glory and
both flags being hoister at once.
There is some talk of a track meet
between the Maui High School and
other teams at the Wailuku baseball
park.
Substitutes For
Poi Making
Experiments have been made with
barley flour, corn flour, rice flour,
buckwheat flour, cassava flour and
other substitutes with taro as wheat
flour substitutes in the manufacture
of poi. All of the above substitutes
can be successfully used.
They may be used In exactly the
Bamc way as wheat flour is used.
Barley nnd rice flour give better re
sults than the others.
This should be good news to the Ha
waiians who formerly used the wheat
flour in the manufacture of poi.
All items on the official list of
substitutes can be bought straight.

Brcnta. Efforts of the enemy to advance were repulsed.
Pertinent Paragraphs
The Boy Scouts are working with
might and main throughout Maui In
the endeavor to raise funds for the
Liberty Loan. At present It seems
most fikely that some records in this
respect will be broken. Enthusiasm
throughout the movement is in
evidence, and lenders look forward
with anticipation of great things.
Once again we admonish "Buy a
Liberty Bond nnd buy it from the Boy
Scouts".

Agricultural Conditions
On The Island Of Maui
The following are extracts from the
last report of Maui county's agent:
For the past eighteen days the
heaviest rainfall for years has caused
damage to all kinds of crops in all
sections of Maui. To corn in flower,
the rain checked polinatlon, corn ma
turing suffered from the ears being
soaked so that drying will be very dif
ficult. Potatoe spraying was of no
avail and blight has gained a foothold.
Small plants were completely cover
ed over with soil and killed. Replant
ing all crops has been hindered.
Farmers for the most part are still
optimistic, however, and will save all
they can nnd will plant with renewed
effort.
Molokai Taro Lands
At a meeting of the Maui Branch of
the American Defense Society the
question of fallow lands on the Island
of Molokai was discussed. Mr. Ray'
mond of the Board of Education was
appointed as a committee of one to
look into the matter with the County
Agent. When Mr. Carpenter of the
Experimental Station makes his trip
to Molokai I shall accompany him and
we will attend to this matter then.
Cornmeal
Maui now has two good sources of
cornmeal. One is the Grove Ranch
nnd the other is the Puunene Mill.
Meal from either one is good but that
from the Puunene Mill is a little finer
In textures. Some dissatisfaction is
felt here over the prices received for
the meal. The matter of price regul
ations should be adjusted somehow,
which no doubt will bo done soon.
Lahaina
This district has not had so heavy
rains as the other parts of the Island
hence gardens and crops are doing
very well.
Lahainaluna School
Gardens coming along nicely and
prospects for a good exhibit at the
fair are good.
Camp Gardens
In general, exports from Maui are
at a halt as It is now the middle of
the season. Prospects are good for
an increase in the corn production
over last year.
