The above table represents the figures up to 10 o'clock today, as furnished by Chairman Wl O. Aiken, and are approximately complete. Late figures have not been received from a number of districts. Tank Named For Maui? The war department has announc ed that the county of Hawaii having the largest over-subscribtion above their assigned quota is to have the honor of naming one of the big battle tanks on the west front. From pre Eent indications Maul stands as good a chance or better than any of the other islands. She is farther ahead towards he" quota than any of the other counties. Last week Kauai was considerably ahead ot Maul, but tince then we have forged to the front by about $160,000, while the Garden Island has made little progress ac cording to wirelesr. reports. Hawaii's figures are also moving up but slowly.

" County Employees Make Good Out of 28 road laborers in Wailuku district, 22 have already subscribed for bonds. This did not happen in any of the previous campaigns and is taken by the committee as a mighty good sign of how the people are learn ing patriotism and to appreciate the securities of the government. As one of the members of the committee remarked "A lot of people have clipped coupons for the first time in their lives and they like it!" The Week We Must All Work It. is eoneeeded that we must all gel down to hard work from now on if Maui is to hold up her reputation.

It will prob ably be finished this afternoon or to morrow. From present indications there will be less than 75 Class 1-A men out of the total 291 registered.
