UP THE RIVER

Contiiiloring how Interesting nnd
enjoyalilu the trip up tho Wailu.i
river is, it is surprising how many
there are who have lived here for
years and have never made it.
When are We Going Up the River?
Henienihering last year's success

have Ih-cII many inquiries. When

Up the River in a Fair Wind.
The Wailua poi factory flotilla
was there, and all ready for the
trip. It consisted of a sturdy motor
launch and the No. 1 barge, out
fitted roughly with benches and
Chinese stools. The motor boat was
assigned to the steerage passeng
ers. tho noisy anil adventurous con
tingent of youth that couldn't keep
still and couldn't keep quiet, while
the more staid and proper took
cabin passage in the barge. It was
a question which was the1 more rest
less and the more noisy bunch.
Up hte River With a Fair Wind.
With a fair wind astern and the
motor boat ahead, they sped up the
river rapidly, with many expressions
of delight over the picturesque views
on either side, which unfolded about
liko a gigantic moving picture film.
Marooned at the Head of Navigation
When they reached the head of
navigation on the south fork at Ko
naloa, a veritable "inumuku" typh
oon swept down tho high hills to
the south and drove the flotilla
helplessly into a lee shore, tho mo
tor boat propeller got wound up and
choked in the long grass, so that it
wouldn't function, and for a half
an hour or more it looked as though
tho party was marooned there for
a day with the commissariat de
partment left behind inakai.
Uy dint of murh patient submar
ine work the . propeller was finally
cleared and strenuous efforts were
made to tow the barge out into
the stream and head her around
makiii. Hut the wind blew with
such violence that this was impos
sible and even tho motor boat be
came unmanugable.

duced to poi. With even more inter-
st, they took a peep into the every
nay life of the Chinese themselves,
some of whom looked as though
they had come out of the Ark with
Noah and were waiting patiently
for his return. For a few moments
i hey watched the cook prepare the
coming dinner,- with its various
strange and nameless viands, but
the only thing they saw that ap
pealed, by sight or smell , was the
great steaming pot of Bavory rice,
i.iid for this they regretted they
could not accept tho invitation of
the dried up, smoked, and wizzen
ciied old cook, "You likee kaukau

Hungry by Suggestion.
This reminded them that they
were hungry, and that their own
kaukau awaited them makui. So
they climbed uboard and steamed
duivn the river.
Hot Supper An Efficient Commis

ed spot in the cocoanut grove, fires
were speedily made, nnd in a snort
lime rice, Vienna sausages ana col
tcc were prepared by the efficient
commissariat, and these hot viands,
taken with sandwiches and other
delicacies of various kinds, made
an excellent supper to which every
one did ample Justice.
Around the Evening Bon-flre.
When the shades of evening drew
deeper, a big bonfire was started,
around which the party spent the
evening, singing songs, and telling
stories, largely Hawaiian, suitable
to the local surroundings, until the
moon arose, and their watches
reminded them that It was time
to go home and "put the children
to bed." Reluctantly they gathered
up their belongings, or such of
them as they could find, and depart
ed with many cordial expressions
of satisfaction over tho afternoon's
outing, and the hope that there
would soon be another.
Income Tax Facts
The new requirement of the In
come tax law lhut returns shall be
made of gross Income of
$5,000 or more regardless ot the am
ount of net Income upon which the
tax is assessed, necessitates careful
computation on tho part of the tax
payer, "tlross Income" includes prac
tically every dollar received by tho
tax payer during the year 1921 in
salaries, wages, commissions, rents,
royalti.es, interest on bank deposits,
cash dividends on stock, "or income
from any source whatsoever." "Net
income" Is gross income less cer
tain deductions provided for by tho
uct Including all business expenses
incurred in the conduct or a busi
ness, trade, profession, or vocation.
Certain expenditures, however, are
not deduetable as n business ex
ponse when made for the purchase
of articles more or less permanent
in character, or for permanent im
provement of property. I'or example
a merchant would not be allowed
to deduct the amount expended in
the erection of a new store, or a
farmer the cost of a new tractor
or threshing machine, since such
investments are held to bo capital
investments. The law 'jxpressly pro
hibits the deduction of family or
living expenses, such as rent for a
dwelling i cost of food and clothing
for the family, education of children,
servant's wages, and similar items.
Amounts spent during the year V.)21
for any ot these items are not do
duclilile.

FINE BANANAS
Mr. Lydgate, who Is quite an in
telligent connoiseur of bananas, has
just harvested a bunch of Maia
Ous, which weighed 05 pounds. An
inferior grade ot these bananas sell
In Honolulu at ten cents a pound,
which would make this bunch worth
?G.00. While not suitable for eat
ing raw. they are most delicious
cooked.
Tho only bananas suitable for
the foreign market are the common
Chinese variety, but for our own
homo market the rarer Hawaiian
varieties are very much finer anil
very much more valuable., and they
should be cultivated more generally.

"GIRL OF MY HEART"

ion Mitchell's story "Joan of Rain

tional reputation for her character
interpretation and this picture Is
said to surpass her previous at
tempts. Tho story is of u girl inmate of
an orphanage who is ousted by the
trustees for a petty offense and
passes on to various experiences,
including life among the Indians.
Tlie subsequent details are skil
fully handled and bring the story
up to the dramatic und unexpected
climax.
"THE LAND OF HOPE"
After five years of successful
starring in society dramas, Alice
Urady has temporarily forsaken
plays of this type for a series of
three dramas of humble life. The
first of these is "The Land of Hope"
which will bo presented at the Tip
Top Theater Sunday evening. Miss
Urady plays the part of a little
polish immigrant girl who seeks
her fortune in America, along with
a little company of people from her
native town, including her childhood
sweetheart.
The role of tho Polish boy is
handled by Jason Rohurds, who
played juvenile lead with Frank
tincon in "Ligtnin' " for two years,
but resigned to enter motion pic
tures.
