YOUNGSTERS IN +,
clever TABtEAU

Christmas vacations In Honolulu's
| schools start today. This morning
Oahu College gave Its annual Christ
mas exercises In the preparatory de-
partment, with the presentation OF u
Christmas tableau as the feature.
Oahu has three weeks vacation. The
tableau was "A Christmas Dream"
and II gave an opportunity for most
of the youngsters to participate.
There was a big crowd of proud
fathers, mothers and friends present
to see the children go through the
pretty little play. Miss, Folsom and
Miss Whine, teachers, deserve credit
for the clever manner in which the
children went through the exercises.
Decorations were in green and white,
under the direction of Miss Carter,
and Mrs. s. +. Wilder helped things
along. Kenny Damon. was Santa
Claus. The program was as follows:

PRINCESSESOF
Three ISLANDS

Miss Rose Dawson, who has
barge of the island princesses' divi-
sion OF next February's Floral Pa
radc, received a letter this week
from the Maui Chamber OF Com
merce advising that the Valley Isle
has appointed as its representative
princess Mrs. Sam Kalama, wife of
Senator Samuel T.. kalama of Maka.
wac. Miss Dawson is well pleased
with this selection, as Mrs. Kalama
is well known as magnificent horse
woman, OF prepossessing appearance.
Miss Dawson is making splendid
progress with her part of the parade.
With the announcement of Maui's
princess, there have been three Sc

PEEK, for Oahu, being the other two.
Kauai has not yet been heard from.

asked TO take charge of the matter
there is every reason to believe that
the Garden Island will be represent
ed in its usual splendid style.
Molokai will also probably be
heard from very shortly. George p,

a suitable representative be chosen
Mr. Cooke handled this feature last
year Before leaving for a brief
business trip to the Coast. Frank
Thompson of the Lanai Agricultural
Company promised Miss Dawson that

scented, not only by a princess, bui
by mounted escort of six young

NO FURRY FROM
CUT IN PIONEER

The cut OF Pioneer Mill dividends
from a, month to $l,50 "a month
was announced on the stock ex.
change today, but the announcement
created little of furry. The cut
haa been expected for weeks and
during the past few days became
practically a certainty. Most of the
stockholders are glad the cut was no
deeper.
Other cuts d are expected at any
time, as the first of the year draws
near. Announcement has been made
by Alcxan>N. & Baldwin that none
OF the A. 4, B. plantation stocks will
be pruned, but the other agencies are
not SO open in giving out their in.

One day X was three In the afternoon
We had followed herd of elephants
since 8 a. m. and the traces of the dew
of the previous night were still visible
on the trail. Our chances of coming
up with them were so small that we
abandoned the pursuit and turned in
the direction of the wagons. After an
hour or two the natives began to make
pathetic appeals as to the ctate of
their stomachs. suggesting that they
had met with hard usage. and that. as
we had not found the elephants. they
were not above breaking their fast
upon quagga giraffe. or even rhinoc-
eros. tried to persuade them that
elephant was the only dish worthy of
them or likely to fill those almost bot
tomless cavities to which they had al
luded; that we might have better luck
the next day, and that they might put

dismounted to do their pleasure. Fifty
