Washington, D. C, October 17, 1911. — A preliminary state- 
ment of the general results of the Thirteenth United States Cen- 
sus of manufactures was issued today by Census Director 
Durand. It contains a statement of the statistics for 1909 for 
the noncontiguous territory, Alaska, Hawaii, and Porto Rico, 
prepared under the direction of William M. Steuart, chief statis- 
tician for manufactures, Bureau of the Census. The figures are 
subject to such revision as may be necessary after a further 
examination of the original reports. Following are the statis- 
tics for Hawaii : 
Number of establishments 500 
Capital $23,875,000 
Cost of materials used $25,629,000 
Salaries and wages, total $ 2,795,000 
Salaries $ 686,000 
Wages $ 2,109,000 
Miscellaneous expenses $ 3,329,000 
Value of products $47,404,000 
Value added bv manufacture (products less cost of 
materials) ' , $21,775,000 
Employees : 
Number of salaried officials and clerks 594 
Average number of wage earners employed 
during the year 5,904

These figures exclude the hand and the building trades and the 
neighborhood industries, and take account only of establishments 
conducted under the factory system. Statistics for this census 
were not collected for factories having products for the census 
year of a value less than $500, except that reports were taken 
for establishments idle during a portion of the year 1909, or which 
began operations in that vear, and whose products, therefore, were 
less than $500. 
It is better to be a busy little body in this world than a little 
busybody. 
''A word to the wise is sufficient," but a multitude of words are 
in vain to the foolish. 
Do not put all your slicking-up on the front yard. There's a 
back yard, too. 
Hard words are hardly ever necessary.
