Plantations with old mills for sate
arc finding them quite a consider
able source of revenue. With the
exorbitant prices of material, the
preoccupation of mechanical plants.
and the high cost of transportation,
it is next to impossible to get a mill
built to order in any reasonable
time. But the Japanese in Formo
sa are extending the sugar business
greatly under the stimulus of the
war prices, so they are casting about
for mills, already built and running,
and are willing to pay what might
seem almostfabulous prices for them.
Some time ago they bought the old
Kukuihaelc mill, which was discard
ed some years ago, which they dis
mantled and transported to Formo
sa, where it is now doing duty on a
largo estate. And now they have
closed a deal for the purchase of the
Kukaiau mill, which is being given
up at the- close of the present sea
son. The Formosa firm sent out their
own expert engineer, a Japanese
who made a very careful and intelli
gent examination of the whole plant,
and rendered a detailed report,
which overlooked no single pipe or
bolt, and on the strength of this
report the deal was closed.
They are so keen to get the mill
that they are going to take it as it
stands, and where it stands, and do
their own dismantling, packing,
loading and transportation, in addi
tion to paying what seems an un
heard of price, for old machinery.
Doubtless however, being Japanese
they know what they are about.
Another mill that is in the mar
ket is the Puako mill near Kawaihae
on Hawaii. It is in process of
transfer to the Philippines.
Weekly Market Letter

advanced five cents a dozen, while
most feeds have remained at the
same price and a few have dropped
two dollars on a ton. A shipment
of Maui beans were received and
though the price lias dropped a
little, they am selling slowly
There are no Island Irish potatoes
in the market. Sweet potatoes are
plentiful and the price has dropped

shipment of Island onions and dried
corn has been received from Maui.
The onions are better than the last
shipment.
Limes are scarce and in demand.

is good.
Bananas are still plentiful and
cheap. Large bunches selling for
thirty five cents.
Island grapes have advanced an
other cent a pound and no grapes
are coming in from the other is

A Interesting Experiment
In Agriculture
M r. A. II. Case, the County
Agent, is working on what promises
to be a commendable and practical
plan for helping the small farmer
ami homesteader.
He propores to secure from each
homesteader or small farmer an ex
perimental tract of a quarter of an
acre or so, which will be cultivated
under the direct personal supervi
sion of the agent, planting it to
whatever crop the owner may select,
all expenditure on the same to be
charged up strictly at cost, and the
benefit of the most intelligent care
and attention to be given free; the
produce in the end to go to the
owner of the land.
The purpose of these manifold
experiments is mainly to interest
the small fanner in the most intel
ligent kind of fanning, and to give
him the benefit of a valuable object
lesson under his own eyes. And
even though, at the beginning, these
model farm plots may be taken up
only here and there, each one that
shall prove a success will be an in
spiration and an example to the
surrounding region, so that the
whole Island in time will be educat
ed to a more intelligent and more
successful agriculture.
We understand that this plan
meets with the hearty cooperation
of the Food Commission as it surely
should.
Your Flag and My Flag
By Wilbur D. Nesbit.
Your flag and my flag,
And how it ilies today
In your land and my land
And half the world away 1
Rose-red and blood-red
The stripes forever gleam ;
Snow-white and soul-white
The good forefathers' dream;
Sky-blue and true blue, with stars
to gleam aright
The gloried guerdon of the day ;
a shelter through the night.
Youi Hag and my flag 1
To every star and stripe
The drums beat as hearts beat
And lifers shrilly pipe I
Your flag and my flag
A blessing in the sky;
Your hope and my hope
It nover hid a liel
Home land and far land and half
the world around,
Old glory hears our glad salute
and ripples to the sound 1
Your flag and my flag! t
And, oh, how much it holds
Your land and my land
Secure within its folds!
Your heart and my heart
Beat quicker at the sight;
Sun-kissed and wind-tossed
Bed and blue and white.
The one flag the great flag the
flag for me and you
Glorified all else beside the red
and white and blue!

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
The Territory of Hawaii has been
able to sell $200,000 of tho proposed
1 percent loan of 81,600.000.
It takes upwards of four months
to go through tho process of pre
paring for and presenting a loan
These are times when financial and
other situations change from day to
(lay so there is no counting on the
future.
As per our laws and preparation,
tho Treasurer of tho Territory of
Hawaii can, at private sale, disposa
ot $1,300,000 of 4 percent per an
iiuiii bonds at $98.01 per $100.00
bonds.
Of this bond balance oT $ 1 ,300,000,
this sum approximately applies to
the various islands as follows:
Hawaii $ 405,000.00
Maui 205,000.00
Kauai 38,000.00
Oalm 650,000.00
Total $1,298,000.00
It is up to the pcoplo of each of
these islands to purchase each its
quoti of bonds receiving a guaran
tee that the money will be spent on
each island, in full or pro rata, to
its subscriptions.
It is plainly a case of put up the
money, of which there is plenty, or
going without the improvements
The $200,000 will be principally
spent on items that are in the in
terest of and to the advantage of
the whole group
By direction of the Governor,
Henry C. Hapai,
Acting Treasurer of tho Territory
of Hawaii. It
