PROCLAMATION
The hope of the Territory and the Nation is in its Boys.
The carefree lads u ho today are playing at their innocent
yamcs, will tomorrow be bearing the responsibilities of the
Country's life. Upon the training they receive in these younger
years depends largely the action they will take when they be
come men.
,lt is therefore the duty of Fathers to take a kindly inter
est in their Hoys, to instruct them aright, to sympathize with
them in their problems, to "be Boys" with them. This is more
than a duiy, it is a pleasure and a privilege. Men who play
with their Hoys grow young with the years.
In the hope of arousing the men of this Tetritory to d
renewed interest in their own Boys and all Boys generally,
there, is to be observed during the period from February lb'
to February ZZ, what is known as "Father and Son Week."
Therefore, to call attention to this period, so set aside, J,
as Acting Governor of the Territory of Hawaii, do issue this
proclamation and earnestly urge that such special observances
as have been planned by the Y. M. C. A., the churches, the
Boy Scouts and other organizations may receive the patriotic
support of all our citizens.
IX JT.i:ss WHEh'EOF, I have hereunto set my
hand and caused the Great Seal of the
Territory of Hawaii to be affixed.

Acting Governor of Hawaii.
FUEL OIL ON MAUI
J. 1'. Foster, mill superintend
ent for the Maui Agricultural
Company at l'aia, Caui, lias in
vented and perfected a process for
making motor alcohol from waste
molasses which has been thorough
ly tried out by the plantation on
their trucks, and is now an estab
lished success.
Convinced of the valuable pos
sibilities of the process, Harry
Gesner, a Maui automobile mau,
according to the Maui News, has
paid $10,000 for the rights for the
Philippines, where he expects "to
make his everlasting fortune. Gas
oline sells at upwards of a dollar
a gallon there, and there are large
quantities of waste molasses, now
practically worthless. What bet
ter combination for a fortune.
The distilling plant on Maui
has a capacity of 350 barrels a
day, on which it makes a profit of
20 cents a gallon or over.
If it is as good a thing as that,
and with the price of gasoliue go
ing up and an ever increasing con
sumption, we ought to have such
a factory on Kauai.
LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Editor Garden Island Yesterday
(and many days before) I have
driven the horrible mangy curs that
infest the locality away from the
store and out of my path.
Then I thought I'd write a kick
about the prevailing custom of these
Islands to let as many dogs be born
and shift for themselves as could find
a living. It has developed into a
struggle of the survival of the fittest.
Those weeded out or less strong go
tottering around, half- or more starv
ed, mangey, lousy, dejected and hor
rible to see. No one owns them and
they go unchecked to spread their
filth and pollution wherever they stop
or touch. If all dogs were required to
show a collar and the current year's
tag there would be less of this. A man
that wants to keep a dog, would, if
human, try to keep the dog in' health
and care for the same.
THE WAIL OF A LONELY CUR DOG
By Alice Kuete
We- are sick of this life!
And while we still live disease will
be rife!
For we are lousy scabby festering
and more!
We are filthy flea bitten mangy
and sore! !
No one feeds us: none want us around!
With sores and pollution our bodies
abound!
Just why 'tis that we may live
We know not!
Just why 'tis our tottering hulks may
still roam
We wot not!
Just when we may die, diseased and
alone,
We care not!
For you too would be morbid
If you lived a life as filthy and
sordid!
For we are sick of this life!
And while we still live disease will
be rife!
For we are lousy scabby festering
and more!
We are filthy flea ridden mangy and
sore! !
Certain we are that when first we saw
light
That we were not in this sorry
plight!
No more do we care that all over us
fleas crawl and bight!
Our watery, rheumybred.rimmed
eyes
have lost most of their sight!
No dog tags have we; we are nobody's
hound!
No right or desire have we any
longer
To linger and scratch
Fleas, disease and our body's pollut
ion!
A quick, kindly death would be
Our troubles and worries best solut
ion!!
For we are sick of this life!
And while we still live disease will
be rife!
For we are lousy scabby festering
and more!
We are filthy flea ridden mangy and
sore!!
N.B. The author's name should be
pronounced "A-lice Cootie." We thank
you.
HAWAII, THE WONDERFUL
Anonymous
Have you seen Hawaii's beauty? Her scenery is agleam
With wonderful spectacles which makes it like a dream.
Kilauea, her volcano, so amazing to behold,
Has been spitting fire and sulphur for ages now untold.
Haleakala, her dearest sister, who died long years ago.
Is tucked away, in a peaceful grave, beneath a silvery snow.
Then Oahu's stalwart Pali, where her king a battle fought;
His enemies jumping to their death, when in his mesh they're cought.
Waikiki, her wondrous beach, needs no mention, I'm sure,
Her surf is ever sounding, beck'ning notes from her lure;
But bear in mind the Garden Isle, which is worth a special trip;
For here you see her canyons deep while you're in Nature's grip.
You see the gorgeous colors, you stand as if in dream.
The colors ever changing, one views a different scene.
And then, down at Napali, you hear the Sand Hills bark,
With no Fido there to greet you, and it isn't even dark.
And then we want to show you, Kukuiolono. another treat.
Where God, man and sunshine, built a paradise at your feet.
There are so many things to see on this, God's Garden Isle,
That's worth a trip do take the trip. "See Kauai Next" and smile.
