It has often been said that
food will win the war. This
statement might well be narrow
to; "Hrcad will win the war.
Where people have plenty of
bread thev do not starve. As
can even now be in the front line as
regards feeding.
In the early war, armies had to be
fed entirely from those supplies in
their immediate neighborhood. Now
adays, however, the armies fighting
all along that line in France and Flan
ders can be fed from far off America.
America's surplus of wheat from
this year's harvest had all been sent
by December. An urgent appeal has
again come for 70,000,000 to 90,000,000
more bushels. This must be saved
from our normal consumption. It has
been estimated that already have
saved of this amount about 25,000,000
bushels. If wo can save one-third of
our usual consumption, we can answer
their plea for help.
The fats so necessary for human
strength, and for the further product

Bagasse Paper Has Prospects
Olaa's proposed bagasse paper plant
will be be superior to anything which
was expected here up to the time that
the order for it was placed and Is
more extensive than was suggested by
R. Renton Hind when he returned
from the mainland nearly two years
ago after a thorough investigation of
processes and possibilities.
liegasso for paper making lends It
self better to the higher and finer
grades of paper than it does to the
coarse product which Is to be turned
out by Olaa for mulching purposes,
Mr. Hind says. Olaa wants paper for
Its. mulching process and the bagasse
paper which it turns out will answer
the purpose nicely and its manu
facture will Insure a material saving
over th cost of purchasing other paper
for that purpose.
This in no way lessens the possibil
ities for a great use of fine bagasse
papers in time to come, Mr. Hind
says. He is confident that the time
will come when Its use will be general
He now has in his office the samples
of bagasse paper which were shown
at the Maui County Fair last year
and the texture of some of these sam
pies is surprising. There Is paper that
13 suitable for letter writing, other for
wrapping and more than a dozen dif
ferent grades are shown.
It is the understanding that the
Olaa plants capable of turning out
finer grades than mulching purposes
require and, if occasion warrants, can
enter into the manufacture of other
papers. It I salso understood that the
new plant will be such as to permit of
a ready expansion.

with the rest of the Territory
deplores the fact that McCand
less is acting in the matter of
the price of food stuffs as he
is.
McCandless, in trying to just
lfy himselt in this situation ar
gues that the Hawaiian rice con
sumer should pay the freight
from Japan or from the Court
on rice grown on this island.
This is about as close to un
patriotic profiteering as an Am
erican can come these days and
Kurope supplied with bread.
When we defeat Starvation, we
defeat the Kaiser.
But there may be some who
think that the little sacrifice in
wheat that the Food Adminis
tration asks each one ot us to
make is too diminutive to mar
ter.
But when the Kaiser heard
that the Americans were volun
tarily adopt in: individual and
lailv food conservation so that
thev might give the Allies the
looil that tliey ncilctl, lie nn
inediatlv spent large sums of
money in paving for secret ser
vice men and for propaganda
that would frustrate such an at
tempt on the part of the Ameli
as fast as possible. The latter we are
things ourselves and sending the
wheat, meat, fats and sugar that are
best suited for shipping and best fit
ted to give the most body fuel. Surely
this is but a small sacrifice for us to
make for those soldiers and civilions
who, though remote from us in miles
are so close to us in spirit.

"OUR GOVERNOR"
Col. Chas. J. McCarthy las
been confirmed as (Jove. ior of
the Territory of Hawaii by the
Senate of the United States.
When we sav that everyone is
pleased with the choice of the
President, in placing Col. Mc
Carthy at the head of our gov
eminent, we but voice the senti
nient of all, and that he will hi
rightly named '"Our Governor"
we again give voice to the pco
pie.
While there will be somt
changes in the department heads
there will be no general "hotii
cleaning as is usual when a new
administration takes seat.
This shows that the Governor
is satisfied that these heads arc
doing their duty and so why
start a new man on a new jol
when the old man is satisfacl
ory.
Governor McCarthy has given
out a comprehensive outline of
the policies to be followed by his
administration. In general these
will be along broad constructive
lines, a program of upbuilding
adopting food conservation.
does it not seem that it is worth
our time anil energies to
complish this?

Multiply this bv the number of
unities on all the streets in
your town or city. Multiply this
bv all the number of families on
ill (lie streets in all the towns
ind cities in America.
Now vou know why the Kai
ser tried in every wav to prevent
us from adopting these lit Hi
daily and individual food con
nervation measures in order to
feed our associates in this war.
His plans have failed. They
will continue to fail. But tin
Kaiser is comfort iug himself
wiiii tne inougiii, tm, wen, tut
American people will easily be
come discouraged and careless in
making these little daily sacrifi
ces. If a big sacrifice were de
manded of them, the whole na
tion would rise in a mountain of
strength to the task. But these
little individual sacrifices will
soon seem to petty to them to
cont inue."
