Kealia An Invaluable Book We question whether theio Jias ever heen a more valuable work published in the whole course of the sugar business than that recent ly issued by the Department of Commerce entitled "The Cane Sugar Industry.'' Ranked as a bulletin,; it 19 nevertheless a book of 400 pages , treating of the sugar production of. the United States, a monumental work of patient research packed full from cover to cover with the most valuable information; information of interest not only to those familiar with the sugar business, but also to those who have the most casual general acquaintance with it. The book deals with the produc tion of cane sugar agricultural a nd mechanical, as condscted in Ha waii, Louisiana, - Porto Rico and Cuba. More than half of the Ihiok is devoted to Hawaii, and every where the "virtual leadership of Ha waii is recognized. With less fav orable natural conditions in the matter of climate, soil, fertility nnd cost of labor, Hawaii outranks the other countries in efficiency, econo my and crop output. The book is a perfect mine of authoritative information in regard to all the practical questions of the business, giving the most careful and comprehensive tabuler state ments of everything that it can be important to know, not only in re gard to the actual production of sugar but also m regard to the van ous subsidiary factors that lead up i rr.1 I I1 to tne nnai outcome, i nere is unru ly a phase of our life and industry here that is not more or less iully dealt with in the book. Such ques tions as population, social condi tions, sanitation, welfare work, housing, etc. come in for luminous and suggestive treatment. Even those who care nothing about the technical problems of the growth and manufacture . of sugar will vet find a large held of the most interesting and suggestive in formation on public questions of the most urgent significance of our wel fare. We recommend its careful perusal to all intelligent readers. It can be had from the Superintendent of Public Documents for the trifling sum of 50 cents. Weekly Market Letter Sept . 21, 1917; Fresh island eggs have advancer three cents a dozen and duck eggs five cents a dozen. The demand for island eggs is still greater than the supplv. Island chickens are a little more plentiful than they had been for a few weeks, but the prices have remained the same. Sweet potatoes are moving fast at 81.25 wholesale and the Division could handle more first-class sweet potatoes. If any one has swee potatoes, now is the time to ship them to the market. Evidently all the Ewa sweet potatoes are being sold in the country as none of them have been shipped to the Honolulu market, n. The price of watermelons has dropped a little duiing the . past week and the Marketing Division is receiving large shipments of very good melons from Maui. Hides have dropped two cents pound during the past week, which has been the hrst change in prices for several months. Tomatoes have advanced a cent pound and there are not many good tomatoes in the market. O. B. Lkiihtoot, Acting Supt An Open Letter To Organizations, Territory of Hawaii : The Women's Sub-committee of the Territorial Food Commission urges every organization to enlist in the cause of food Conservation an geeks assistance through unified ac tion. There cannot be food enough for our soldiers or our allies unless America provides it. And America can only provide it by the personal service and cooperation of all of us. Ways of effectively carrying out a consistent selective !'Food First, No Waste" campaign through your organization will doubtless suggest themselves to you. Registration cards for those who have not already registered, may be j had on application to the Territorial I Food Coin mission . fc j A complete enrollment of all those i who control food is the aim of the 'National Food Admistration. Women's Sub-committee, Territorial Food Commission. MAX GREENBAUGH Manufacturers' Agent KAUAI CORRESPONDENCE INVITED Office: Hawaiian Hotel P. O. Box 524 HONOLULU Information Wanted The County Agent is sending out j a circular letter addressed to all storekeepers requesting them to re port the various amounts of food products sold by them and whether imported or home grown. This of course is in order that we may know where we stand in the matter of food supply. They are also interro gated as to their willingness to han dle home grown products. Another circular letter is address ed to homesteaders and small fann ers making inquiry as to what crops they are growing, and what farther possibilities they may have. Also as to whether better facilities in the ay of local markets and transpor- ation would materially stimulate production. " These are important inquiries and we trust that they may be carefully and full' answered and that we may be furnished the information in con crete form. All Steamers Calling Here to be Taken by Government Government's latest declaration means probably that Matson, Ocean ic and Pacific Mail limns will be commandeered by middle of Octo ber Suspension of Coastwise Ship ping Laws expected t o Provide Freight Transportation to Islands Nearly every American steamer of the four steamship lines calling at Honolulu will be commandeered, believe Honolulu shipping men, as the result of the message received yesterday from Washington stating that all vessels on all oceans of 2500 tons deadweight are to be taken over by the shipping board within three weeks. It is believed that all the Matson vessels will be taken, with possible exception of the Enterprise and Hyades, as Matson ships- have a carrying capacity of from 3000 to 10,000 tons, but the Hyades and Enterprise are slow boats and might not be suitable for the Atlantic war service, it is asserted that vessels which cannot make more than 12 knots will not be taken. Star-Bul letin The New Liberty Loan A local commission has been ap pointed to handle the new Liberty Loan Campaign m Hawaii, consist ing of the representatives of the various banking institutions in llo nolulu, six in number. J lie cam paign to place the loan wi'l be in nugurated Oct. 1 and will continu luring the month.

It is expected tha there will bo a house to house can vass that will let no one escape. Accordingly gather up your sav ings and have them in readiness for the agent when he appears on the scene. Makahuena Recovered Again the value, of advertisin has been vindicated. Makahuen has been found : it is the name o the lighthouse point of Koloc, but how it ever got mixed up with rsa wiliwih is a problem. W. H. ZIMMERMAN Manufacturer ti V i JOHN F.
