be, that they nre directly nnd indirect

dependently and in accordance with
their individual views, their oath of

that the offer of the said V. H. Case,

FORD
In a quarrel over the proper handl
ing of a machine in the plant of the
American Can Company, at Haiku,
on Tuesday, Herbacio Pan30 drew
a pocket knife and slashed Agaplto
Pelos Reyes a number or times on
the shoulder and chest.
The wounded man was treated at
the I'aia hospital, where it was dis
covered that his injuries are not seri
ous. Panso was arrested but later
released on ?25 bail.
Evidence that the Germans are
derating a high-power wireless in
the Pacific, probably either in the
South Seas or in the Orient, may be
indicated by the receipt of a message
In English by the Matson steamer
Manoa, which was unquestionably of
Hun origin.
This radio was picked up by the
Manoa operators when they ran the
receiving range of the ship's wireless
up to its maximum, and listened in
on the strange Germanized English
messags. Its wording gave every in
dication of having been phrased by
a German, as well as the untruthful
ness of the message.
Because of the character of the Ma
noa wireless equipment, it is not be
lieved the message could have come
from Berlin, but from some point
from 1000 to 2000 miles away.
On a previous voyage to Honolulu
the Manoa received another false and
Btrange wireless message which re
ported the capture of Amiens during
the initial part of the German drive
on the West Front. Messages have
also been picked up by the Lurline
which told of great victories being
won by the German armies on the
Europeans battle fields.
All of these messages are thought
to be a part of German propaganda
In this portion of the world to en
courage German sympathizers and to
discourage those of the Allies. Advertiser.

"SAFETY FIRST" STEERING DEVICE
Simple, Positive, Low-Priced
MAKES YOUR FORD WALK A CIIAEK IJNE.
AUTOMATICALLY CORRECTS mistakes so far as steering is con
cerned, whether made through oversight, inadvertence or unavoidable
accident. It makes rough roads easy. It lessens wear on machine and
tires and saves many times its cost in reduced lire expense. It auto
matically takes up lost motion between steering wheel and road wheels
when steering gear is worn, keeping road wheels in perfect alignment.
IN TRAVELING ROUGH, MUDDY OR SANDY ROADS, in turn-
irg corners, or around other vehicles, or when coming in contact with
tcnes, etc., the "Safety First" shows its real worth and stands every
lest. With the "Safety First" the driving of ladies and beginners is
like that of a veteran.
Can be attached by anyone with a wrench, in less than 10 minutes.
