HAROLD WATERHOUSE RICE, Rancher and Legislator. For a number of years engaged 
in the sugar industry, and at present a cattleman and legislator, Senator 
Harold W. Rice has largely devoted himself to the same interests which, 
throughout his long career, held the attention of his distinguished father, 
the late William Hyde Rice of Kauai.
  Born at Waikiki, Honolulu, Nov. 10, 1883, the son of William Hyde and Mary 
(Waterhouse) Rice, Senator Rice was educated at the Honolulu High school; 
Lawrenceville Academy, New Jersey, and a San Francisco business college. He 
attended Princeton University for several months.
  Returning home from school in 1904, he was first employed on Koloa 
plantation, Kauai, was with the Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Co., 1906-07; was 
appointed division overseer for the Maui Agricultural Co. in 1907 and became 
assistant manager of that plantation in 1909.
  Purchasing the big Cornwell cattle ranch on Maui in 1916, Senator Rice has 
since given most of his time to the development of that property, stocking it 
with pure-bred cattle and horses. He has also engaged in the wholesale and 
retail meat business as a logical consequence of his ranching.
  Mr. Rice has been a member of the territorial senate since 1918 and has been 
a leader in the shaping and passage of important legislation. He is active 
politically as a member of the Republican party.
  Senator Rice is a member of the Maui Chamber of Commerce and Maui Fair & 
Racing Association, the Pacific, Oahu Country, Oahu Polo and Racing, Ad and 
Commercial clubs of Honolulu, and has served as a lieutenant and captain of 
the Machine Gun Co., 3rd Regiment, National Guard of Hawaii.
  Senator Rice and Charlotte M. Baldwin, a daughter of the late Henry Perrine 
Baldwin, were married at Spreckelsville, Maui, Dec. 7, 1907. They have four 
children, Charlotte Emily, Harold Frederick, Maud Baldwin and Mary McKinney 
Rice.
