THE GARDEN ISLAND, TUESDAY, MAY 2, 1922 TH E GARDEN Issued Every Tuesday I SLAND KENNETH C. UOITEU Managing Editor TUESDAY MAY 2, 122 COTTAGES AT VVVKAPELE There is now, ami there lias been fop some time past, a groat need at l'uukapele ami KoUee for some sort of public cottages. One of the finest park and camp sites in the ter ritory is located tlicre. Hut there is no place for anyone, except those favored few who own cottages, to stay. Under the present couditioss it is neces sary for the people to go to Kokee and re turn in the same day. A few have carried tents along and have camped in them. But that, at host, is a difficult and unsatisfac tory thing to do. .1. 11. Moragno made a suggestion the other day, that would in a" measure, solve the housing problem up there. Mr. Mot-ague says the thing to do is for the county super visors to donate the school cottages at Ma kaweli to the park. A fine big school is just being complet ed at Makaweli. There are a number of cot tages, almost a dozen, at the old school grounds. Some of these will be moved to the new site. Others will not be moved because there is no need for them. It would be a fine thing if the county of Kauai would donate those surplus cot tages to the ruukapole park and move them up Ihere. Then there would be some place for people to go and stay when they wanted more than a day's mountain air. l'uukapele is one of Kauai's best scenic assets. But heretofore, we have not cashed in on that asset as we could or should. We can get much more pleasure and we can draw more tourists to our island if we will judiciously use the natural scenic resources which we have. We can advantageously put a caretaker and wife in charge of that park. He could look after the park, police it, and keep it in condition. There are times in the summer when the grass is so dry that one match carelessly thrown away would set the whole country on fire if there was no one there to watch it and stop it. The caretaker could keep a little supply store and sell provisions to campers up there. All this would add greatly to the place. This is a good time for the county to take steps to greatly improve l'uukapele. With improvement in the roads more people can easily get up the mountains. Let's make it possible for them to stay and enjoy them selves after they get there. 117 1 ARE SUCCESSFUL MERCHANTS Successful merchants are constant adver tisers. They buy goods to sell, not to keep constantly on hand as some of the old style advertisements were worded; but to turn over as quickly as possible that they may buy fresh goods, up to date and snappy, and once they have placed them on their counters ami shelves they inform the public through the local papers, that such merchandise has ar rived for public inspection. Keep posted if you want to be in line to purchase tin; right goods at the right price, is a maxim that all should heed, and the local paper is the bulletin that keeps you in touch with your community interests, if the merchant fails to make an announce ment of the kind, quality and price of his wares that is his fault; but read your local paper, news, advertisements ami all, and you will have a working knowledge valuable to you. Do not send your money out of town when you can get what you need n't home, encourage your local merchants to keep you posted, for it is as much to their interest as yours that they do so. Your interest is community interest. The only time when no news is good news to the average citizen is when he fails to hear from the tax assessor. We understand that the Russian soviet government has changed its motto from "Let me also speak," to "Let me also eat." This world is so full of all kinds of peo ple but not one who hasn't his own favorite cure for rheumatism. The most consoling feature most people get out of the new income tax blank is that the last one appeared to get by alright. Edison has just celebrated his T.'ih birth day. He can't invent anything to keep the years from piling up. We found a man yesterday who was t ly ing to buy a cold cure that wasn't advertis ed us ''the old reliable." HOG CHOLERA t In spite of the fact that the board of agriculture and forestry maintains there is no hog cholera in Hawaii, there are many hogs dying of some disease that looks and acts like cholera. And it is becoming a very evident fact that these hogs are just as dead as those that die with bona fide cholera. On this island at present some plan tations are innoculatiug their hogs for chol era. The cost is high, so high it is said as to be almost prohibitive to many of the smaller hog owners. And yet without the innocula tion death is certain. Some hog men predict that the disease will not run its course un til all the hogs on the island are killed off by it. .- We don't pretend to say whether this disease is cholera or hemorrhagic septicemia. But we do say that whatever it is, it is kill ing far too many hogs and that the proper authorities should recognize the fact and take certain steps to stop it. These diseases are being successfully combatted all over the mainland of the United 'states and there is no reason why they cannot be here. WHAT IS THRIFT? In the average man's inind, thrift means saving money. In theory that is thrift, but in practice it may be the reverse. For thrift means getting the most for your money by investing it in things for which there is a present use or future profit. Putting a pad lock on the pocket is not thrift. That's stingi ness. If one can buy a lot worth $300 for ?200, it is thrift to buy it. If a suit of clothes which will be needed next fall can be bought now for $20 when it will cost $30 when next fall arrives, then it will be thrift to buy it. Thrift is taking advantage of opportunities in which there is a profit. It means keeping your dollars everlastingly on the job. Thrift also means refraining from useless expendi tures that keep the pocket book so thin that investments cannot be taken advantage of when they are offered. Things should be pur chased from the standpoint of use and profit, ami if there is no present use aud no future profit in sight, don't buy. No matter what your definition of thrift may be, when it is carefully studied and analyzed and boiled down, it simply means getting ready for a big opportunity, and hop ing it will come. And getting ready for the big opportunity is just another definition of laying away for the rainy day. Don't hide or dissipate your savings. Invest them. There are so many fine opportunities open right now, and right around here, that no man, who cares about the future, can afford to ne glect them or close his eyes to them. The man who spends his time sitting on a nail keg at the grocery ranks as a pro ducer along with the hen that sits on o door knob, except that the hen is honest in her intentions. The man who takes no interest in town improvements is stealing a ride on the chariot of progress. Love at first sight may be alright, but the wise man always takes a second look. It takes two to make a quarrel, includ ing the minister, to make it permanent. Where Quick Action Pays rvELAYS cannot be otherwise than - dangerous when dealing In stocks.

Hyd Ulce Promises Phone 154 L The Financial Outlook The demand throughout the mainland for high grade in vestment securities, which has developed as a result of the gradual lowering of interest rates, exhibits no signs of slack ening. As a result, bond prices are steadily advancing and it appears, that the time is drawing near when the opportunity to purchase high degree investment securities at prices which , yield liberal returns will have passednot to return, in all probability, for many years. It will soon be true that the investor who had foresight to accumulate conservative investment securities at present pric es will be in a position to point with pride to the wisdom of his judgment.
