Jan. 18 (Associated Press Mail) Officers of the Chinese navy have proposed to go to the Wash ington Armament Conference one bet ter by scrapping the entire Chinese navy and selling it to pay their sal aries which are in arrears. (The Chinese navy consisted in 1920 of six protected cruisers, three destroyers, eight, torpedo boats, three torpedo gunboats, four gunboats and a considerable number of river gun boats. Nine of these, however, were under control of the Southern Chin ese government located at Canton.) The Chinese officers proposed also that all battleships and cruisers should be scrapped. The Chinese press asserts that it is in the interest of their salaries, rather than of the peace of the world that the Chinese naval officers proposed this drastic step. As in the case of many government departments of China at the present time, salaries for many back months are due the officials and personnel of the navy and the conference of offi cers was called to consider ways and means of forcing the Ministry of Fi nance to allocate to the Ministry of Marine sufficient money to make up these deficits. Feeling that sale of all naval pro perty and abolition of the navy was the surest way of obtaining the neces sary funds, the officers decided to put this proposition before the people. Their alternative in case this scheme failed to meet with approval, was that officials who had illegally withheld their pay from them he made personally responsible.

A-t the Elks' Mid-Pacific Carnival now being held in Honolulu theio is no grcitei novelty and no slmngT attraction man tne " ild West Show' nothing that Is drawing larger rrnwds nor receiving mum attention That is the show that Is to be brought i to Maui. The subject was broached I to members of the Maul County Fair j and Racing Association who were in Honolulu for the convention, taken up by them at the meeting of the trustees of the association and the proposal ordered accepted.

As the holding of such a perform ance on a Sunday afternoon will in no wise interfere with church services and as there is to be nothing object ionable in the program offered, the committee is arranging for a Satur day and Sunday performance.

I., Jan. 15 (Associat ed Press Mail) The work or the Am erican Guardian Association which was recently formed here to care for orphan children born of American fathers and Filipino mothers, is to be carried on in the United States, ac cording to word just received here.

Pictures of Funeral Ceremonies Prove to Be Most Wonderful By far the best picture of its kind that has ever been presented on Maui and exceeding in Interest anything that the news weeklies and similar services can offer because of the local nn" home atmospnere mat surronu it, was the universal verdict of those who saw the films of the funeral cere monies and pageant ol the late Prince Kuhio at the Hip in Wailuku last night.

Labor conditions were better and the rapid movement of the old crop lent further confidence. January sales of raws in New York are helieved to have established a npw hiph reco,d for the first month of the year. They totaled 467,000 tons, almost three times the amount of the January 1920 business. F. O. Licht is authority for the statement that Germany will prob ably be unable to make any sugar ex ports next year owing to the increas ed demand at home for the product. California and Hawaiian Refinery is seeking to secure a more adequate and dependable water supply for Crockett. Up to the first of February 130 of Cuba's 163 sugar mills were grinding. Louisiana sugar planters look for a larger crop this year though rains and cold weather have delayed opera tions. Eastern beet sugar manufacturers are still uncertain and have not been able to determine on a contract basis. A French sugar refining company last year made a remarkable show ing in the face of world wide business depression. Its profits were more than double its authorized capital. French Wine Makers Hard Hit by United States Prohibition PARIS. Jan. 29. (Associated Press Mail). A National Week for Wine is the title which has been given to a convention of representatives of wine growers and sales-agents that will sit in Paris under the presidency of form er minister of Agriculture, J. H. Ri card, from March 13 to 19. The closing of the United States markets has caused a tremendous in jury to the wine trade in France. The fact that the Scandinavian states have also gone dry or on rations of intoxi cants and South American vineyards are daily becoming larger and more productive thus restricting imports to ! the lowest ebb in years, has awakened ! the French wine-growers to their dan- j ger. ! Wine stocks have accumulated al-j though there has been no decrease in i the price of wine to the trade of con- sumer. j One of the most important articles I on the agenda of the convention is the following: "Investigate and re-' port on the sale of wine in the United 1 States; how public opinion in the! United States is disposed toward the present dry regime; is there any rea son to suppose that some modification will be adopted allowing wines to en- j ter. What are the frauds in existence, by which, the present law is being evaded." Another article reads: "Establish-, ing closer relations between American wine buyers and French wine selling agents in order to ensure the authen ticity of French wine and avoid fal sification. Colloborate in attempt re vert to former international agree ments and internal legislation in the United States." The Stock Market Ewa - 24 H. C. & S.

Next week, probably, a sal of cooked foods of all kinds, as well as eggs, butter, etc., may be held. The next meeting of the club will be March 6th, at which time Mrs. Au gustine Jones will give her delayed Travelogue on Alaska. This meeting will be in the Kahului Church, at 2:30 P. M. These pictures of Alaska were taken while Rev. and Mrs. Jones were spending their vacation in Alaska last year, and will be a treat to all who have not visited Alaska, as well as to those who have. Hostesses for the day will be Mrs. C. C. Conradt, Mrs. D. H. Case and Mrs. E. F. Deinert. The Humane Department had a very fine meeting on Monday last. The reports were unusually interest ing. The position of vice-chairman for Paia is yet unfilled, and it is hoped that some public-spirited member of that section will realize the need of a chairman there and volunteer to fill the position. The work is extremely interesting. BIRTHDAY PARTY On the occasion of the third birth day anniversary of Master William Ross Aiken; Mrs. George S. Aiken en tertained at the Aiken home on High Street, Tuesday afternoon, the guests numbering 18 little folk and an equal number of adults. Pink effect was observable in all of the decorations, roses being the prevailing flower. At the table, where a delicious afternoon luncheon was served, there were place cards and favors for all, the latter being toys and playthings to delight the heart of every child. There was, of course, the birthday cake with its pink candles, one for each year, and the affair was charming throughout and a wonder to the little guests.
