" LAY ba7 Yes, Jack liked to play ball. Evelyn did not see much in ii,
though when the little boys had q match game she would sometimes
take her doll and watch them playing
Ball is a fine game, Jack" said daddy, land am glad o are
having so much fun with IT. But be careful where you throw Jul ball.
"a little friend If mine who lives in Brooklyn is very fond of ball. His
father writes about baseball n other sports for the newspapers so Tommie
hears great deal about it. Tommie and sou of his little friends have a
nine that plays in the vacant lots ea his home The boys are sc interested
In all that they sometimes get up quite early n the morning so that they ca

The other morning Tommie and some of the boys turned out and instead
of going to the lots they practced in the street
They were having a splendid time when some he pitched the ball SC
badly that 1t went over a fence ant int a yard.
1T would have been Ill right had the family who lived there been at home
Their little boy belonged to the nine. 1t happened, however, that they were
away from home, and when they had gone the gate had been locked to keep
strangers III of their nice flower beds
and there seemed 10 way to get the ball back without climbing the fence
Who would go w the fence? 1t was quite a tall one, and the paHngs
were sharp at the top.
Some of the boys boosted him up, and he got in easy enough. He threw

Several OF the boys tried, but there wasn't any way Of getting him down
without lifting him
so the boys ran as fast as they could to tell Tommies father He can

HELPFUL HINTS.

When canning strawberries n mag
have the delicious red berry keep it's
color and flavor II carefully put up as
follows: Fill the cans with the fresh
fruit. Have ready a rich strip Of
sugar and water and n broken Der
ries to give 1t color. FIJI the cans
with the boiling strip and then put
into a boiler OF boiling hot water deep
enough to cover at least four inches
over the top. Cover with a rug or
carpet and let stand twenty-four hours
or longer, when they are removed,
wiped dry and put away for winter
use. Putting the can into the boiling
water is easily done with a long-han-
died skinner; set the can on It and
steady 1t as it goes under the water.
The nice part OF this canning
method is that the fruit may all be
put into jars ready, and when the boil
er and strip is ready a few minutes
will finish the work, which Is finished
by the hot water. Fruit a year old
that was canned by this method can
not be told from the fresh cooked
berry.
One may sit out in a cool garden or
porch and get a dozen ans Of berries
ready for the next mornings canning.
If you want a delicious dish of baked
beans use less pork, and an hour be-
fore they are to be served add q cup
Of rich thick sweet cream to the pot.

kauai CHURCH
CONVENTION

LIHUE, April 23.-The neighbor-
hood of the church was an active and
populous scene during the latter part
of last week while the convention Of
the Kauai churches was in session.
From the early bell of the sunrise
prayer meeting to the last departing
table attendant at night something
was doing all the time
Among matters of special interest
may be mentioned the following:
Much emphasis was laid on the COM
ing general convention which will
meet at Lihue probably July 1915, and
the preliminary arrangements were
made for the same by appointing
large committees on the following
subjects: Finance, transportation,
dormitory, commissariat, music, REQ.
reation, decoration, correspondence
and arrangements.
]. M. Kaneakua, in collating the re-
ports of the churches, very forcibly
called attention to many discrepan
cies and defects indicating that these
reports were not made up with tho
careful attention that they should be
and therefore they were not as val,
liable as they should be.
Mr. Oleson, secretary of the Ha
wailan board, explained the purpose
of the new ministers quarterly, Ke
Kahuna 40, to be the assistance OF
the Hawaiian ministers with such ma.
terials as might be valuable for them
in their work and which they could
not easily attain. 1t is to be a pro.
fessional journal of high grade and
will be distributed gratis.
Mr.. Oleson also gave notice Of the
purpose to conduct regular Sunday
school Institutes for the instruction
of teachers on the various islands.
The first one, on Kauai, will be held
in May. Experts will be secured to
conduct these institutes.
Among the delegates to the conven.
ton was the we'll and widely known
rice planter and mill owner, L. Pah
On, of Waimea. He has been in the
country upward Of thirty years and
is closely identified with interests Of
the islands, is active in church work
and is altogether an original and m
teresting man, highly respected as
widely as he. is known.

shares In half dozen blocks were
sold.

THE THEATERS

We Liberty's New Act a Winner.
Billed at Ye Liberty theater as the
greatest of novelty acts" Cecile,
Eldred and Carr made good the press
agents promise in every way at their
premiere last night.
The performance constitutes a scin.
tillating melange of posing, singing,
dancing and hand-balancing, inter
spersed with bright bits of comedy.
The act is really about the best seen
here in months. The dancing, which
includes the famous Apache steps, in.
PRODUCES a number OF spectacular va
riations, and the feats of hand-bal-
ancing are something that have rarely
been seen on any stage.
The three performers go through
the act with Cohanesque vim and
dash and their popularity with the
big audience of last night insures
them a handsome reception every
time they appear.
The holdover features of the bin
include AL H. Hallett & Co. in a pow
erful one-act play, ''The Socialist, >
which is presented in strongly ap
pealing way, and ]. P. Rogers, the
popular basso, with a repertoire oil
new songs.

Dad can be put through without, it is
believed, increasing the damages.
Mr.. Sutton's report stated that Gov
ernor Frear was favorable to the re-
duction in width, also agreeable to
allow some curves if thereby the cost
might be reduced! The governor also
advised that, instead of obligating the
commission to construct curbing and
sidewalks for owners with whom an
agreement had been concluded, it
would be better for the commission
TO pay them cash for what such work
cost them at standard rates. Thus
complications with owners, in like
cases in future, would be avoided.
Governor Frear also stated, as Mr..
Sutton reported orally, that he thought
the money could be provided for the
deficiency in the event that judgments
in the pending condemnation suits,
against the few holding out for high
CT damages than offered, went against
the government to the extent of max
ing the total cost $4,000, the appro.
priation being $4,000 and the esti-
mated cost, on the basis of the claims
ell told, $4,000 more
Finally, the board decided to begin
over again and bring condemnation
suits against all the owners, as it is
considered that those whose original
offers had been tentatively accepted
were asking too much for their prop
critics.
