IN
HONOLULU. JULY 27
AND
DEMONSTRATION
Through streets lined by thousands
of. people, their friends and relatives
G.000 men ot Hawalla's draft army
will march In parade In Honolulu on
War Savings Day, July 27th.
It promises to ho one of tho most
Interesting events that 'has occurod
In Honolulu In recent months, for,
aside from tho patriotic fact that
these lads have just "Joined up" with
Uncle Sam to sharo the fortunes of
war, overyone Is curious to see what
kind of an appearanco our very own
lads make- in uniform.
Peoplo of Honolulu, and thoso of
tho sailing ports on tho other islands
saw thoso youths marching, in civil
ian clothes, straggling along in qulto
unmilitary fashion with suit cases
and bundles for burdens. Now they
have exchanged the "cits" for khaki,
tho bundlca for army packs, and suit
cases for guifs. They havo had -a few
days or a fow weeks' rigid military
training and discipline.
Everyone wants to see with his
own eyes, whether they are begin
ning to look4 like real soldiers at this
oarly stage of their army careers.
Arrangements for tho draft army
parado has been completed by the
Hawaiian Department, under direc
tion of Brlg.-Gen. A. P. Dlocksom, com
manding, and will bring to a fitting
climax in Honolulu of tho Intensive
4-day campaign which will bo con
" ducted this week by tho War Savings
Stamp Committee, in an effort to
bring Hawaila's purchrtso of War Sav
ings Stamps up to schedule.
4 At present Hawaii is far behind in
tho schedule. Tho territory has been
asked to absorb $4,000,000 ot War pav
ings Stamps, or approximately S20
worth for every man woman and child
in the islands, In tho present year,
1918. In the first six months, half ot
ths amount, or a per capita average
of ?10 worth, should have been bought
by tho citizens. But they havo taken
only about $2 worth per capita, leav
ing an arrears of $8 worth, which the
ConlmlttQc now asks them to tako in
a lump sum.
C Plans are well under way now for
a well organized and intensive drive,
on every island of tho group, with
special appeals and solcitation among
the Japanese, Chinese, Koreans, Ha
waiians, Portuguese and other races.
A Joint committeo from tho Honolulu
Ad Club and llotary Club, with Percy
M. Pond, has taken charge of tho
general campaign on Oahu among the
English-speaking peoples. Thoso In
chargo of tho campaign on tho othor
islands are G. H. Vicars, Hawaii; R.
A. Wadsworth, Maui, and Frank
Crawford, Kauai.
On Oahu, and in fact on all tho is
lands, Consul General It. Morol has
ngreed to participate actively In the
appeal to Japanese to buy thrift
stamps and War Savings Stamps to
tho lmlt of their financial ability. He
has written an appeal in Japanese,
caused it to bo published and sent to
at least 1000 influential men of t his
raco In tho different counties. With
it ho has sent a personal letter, urging
oach of these men to get out and
work actively among tho peoplo, to
the end that every one shall "go tho
limit" in tho tyuylng of thrift stamps,
not only now, but for tho remainder
of tho year.
Mr. C. K. Al has undertaken to
conduct an activo campaign among
tho Chinese of Oahu,
Tho-Hawaiian Protective Associa
tion, at tho request of Delcgato Ka
lanianolo and Director It. W. Shingle,
has asked all tho Hawaiian societies,
clubs and other organizations with
which it is affiliated, to conduct an
oquallu thorough campaign among tho
peoplo of that raco.

Commissioner for tho Torritory and
J. N. Bailey tho Water man of tho
Islands. At Walmea the party, was
Joined by W. V. Hardy, Forest Han
ger for that section of Kauai and
woro taken up tho Waimea canyon to
see tho Kokco lands at the head of
tho canyon.
Governor McCarthy is making this
Inspection trip simply for tho pur
pose of familiarizing himself with all
the land phases of this Island so
that in tho futuro when any question
comes up that ho will bo ablo to
have a picture of tho land in question
in his mind's eye. Ho has personally
seen all that there is to bo seen of tho
homestead and water situation, as ho
has be'en on tho go from early morn
,ing till late In tho evening, so that
ho would bo able to cover it thor
oughly. The Governor said, "I am making
this trip especially for my own In
formation, and I will not have time
for any intorviows with any one, for
if I stop to talk, I will not havo time
to get tho information that I want,
and neither will I bo ablo ,to see all
tho lands In question."
Governor McCarthy is well pleased
with all. that Jio has seen and is en
thusiastic, over the way tho Home
steaders have come to the front and
with the looks of tho various improv
ed lands that ho saw on tho trip. He
is of the opinion that if all the land
that is now open or that will bo open
ed up in the future Is taken by tho
same class of people and that If they
work as hard as thSso peoplo have
worked that tho homesteads will
prove to bo an unqualified success.
The Governor leaves tonight for
Honolulu and will take part' in the
great demonstration that Is to, be
held there next Saturday in tho in
terests of the War Savings Stamp
campaign. Ho may possibly return
here again in tho future and will then
sco tho various peoplo with whom
he was unable to talk to this time on
account of tho short time which ho
has had on . tho trip.

HOUNDS UP
DLERS AND
4
THEM IRK
The action of tho Hilo authorities
In rounding up all Idlers and bums
and resulting In a net full of BjJ men
of all, nationalities, Is a movement, if
directed in tho right drcction, that
might well bo emulated on all tho
Islands whoro this kind of gentry aro
to bojfound.
Tho ultimatum given tho men by
Chief ot Police Richardson, of Hilo,
was, that if tho men had not secured
work within two days, or had left for
othor parts, that thoy would ho ar
rested and landed in Jail, charged as
vagrants. Bums' and Idlers have no
place anywhoro in America theso
days and should bo forced to work.
Chief Richardson probably thought
that he was doing tho right thing
in moving thoso men on to some oth
er community and in letting the oth
er community shoulder tho respon
sibility of haying theso loafers around.
However, tho thing that ho should
havo done can be best shown by the
example of what tho Stato of Texas
used to. do boforo tho war, and I sup
pose that they aro doing tho same
now.
When a man was dfscovercd by the
police, who had no visiblo means ot
support, ho was promptly scntanccd
to three months In the work house,
and while thoro ho was made to work
on tho roads or any other work that
was necessary and for this was paid
a minimum wage. No ono was over
heard of who deliberately tried to
got a Job this manner. Conse
quently the "jfien who thought that
the world owed them a living," gave
Texas a wido betth in their travels
and Texas has been since then ex
treemly "bumless."
It is needless to say that this law
did not affect tho legitimate working
men in tho state and was only in
tended for, and used against tho men
"man who is always looking for work
and praying nil tho time that ho will
not find it."

HER
MAKES
IHE GOSPEL STORY
IS TOLD IN SERIES
OF
Tho Scripture Tableau Servlco giv
en by tho Lihuo Union Church on
Sunday evening nt tho Tip Top was
one ot tho most orlginnl and success
ful things that has yet been given In
this community.
This service grow out of tho Sun
day School study of tho Gospol of
Mark during tho last fow months,
with a view to Impress tho lessons
by means of a graphic presentation to
tho oyo such as would havo a last
ing image on tho mind.
Tho Bccnes woro carefully worked
out In harmony with the Gospel story
and also In harmony with tho cus
toms and manner of tho times; in
all dignity and with all rovorence, so
that no violence should be done to
tHo spirit and tono of the great teach
ing. A great deal ot originality and
facility was shown in tho costumes,
in which tho simplest devises yield
ed the most artistic and pleasing re
sults. There were In all about a dozen
scenes, In which somo threo dozen
characters wero rcprescntd. Sever
al of theso scenes woro large, and
wero ol'fcctivo and Impressive bo-
cause of their richness and variety;
hut some of the smaller ones with
only two or threo characters, wero
equally charming "because ot their
simplicity, and chastened harmony.
In most of the scenes the cen
tral and"domInatlng figure was Christ
himself, represented most, appealing-
ly with perfect reveronce and charm
ing simplicity and dignity. In fact
throughout tho whole performance,
both on the stage and in tho audienco
a quiet, reverential interest held tho
attention of everyone.
In a fow ot tho scenes tho tableau
method of presentation was aband
oned in favor of simple dramatic ac
tion; and in "Blind Bartimaeus" and
"On the Way to Emmaus" tho sym
pathetic acting was most effectively
and impressively done; so much so
that there wero furtive tears In many
eyes.
Ono of the practical difficulties
about tableau entertainments, Is tho
wait between scenes, but this wall
obviated by tho scripturo readings
descriptive ot tho scenes, and somo
very accoptablo singing was furnish
ed by a selected choir. Thoro was
also a choice duet contributed by tho
Koloa church.
Thero was a largo and representa
tive audience, made up of all classes
and races, tho aim of tho servlco be
ing to roach many thus through tho
eyo who could not readily bo -reached
through tho car, because of tho
diversity of teaching and training.

Hoof Paint Now is
Used for Tree Wounds
Found to be an Economical Way for
Sealing Abrasions
Many orchard Is ts and treo surgeons
hn-.r- found tlu-.t tho bwt wc and
most oomomlcal way of treating
treo wounds of all kinds is to cover
them with roof paint. It is easy to
apply and farmers throughout tho
country havo used It with benefit
In tho treatment of abrasions, cuts
and grafting. It is heavy enough in
body to form a thick coating over
the wound, thus preventing insects
and tho elements from harming tho
treo. It Is nlso very easy to appl.y
A professional treo surgeon and
pruner who is taking caro of somo
20,000 trees, writes enthuslasticly
about it for uso on citrus trees. "It
is", ho says, "tho best thing I havo
over used or heard of, and being so
well satisfied I heartily recommend
Oronito Roof Paint to any and all
orchadists who may bo Interested In
such a paint.."
Tho uso of this paint Is undoubted-,
ly tho best, most convenient and
economical way ot healing abrasions
of trees, and it greatly prolongs thoir
llfo and productiveness.
