cry which attracted the attention Of
the people around, and ran down the

lost child, came out to the road and

During the night Of April 3 the gage
measured four inches of rain.
The homestead road is in terrible
condition and we all blame the rain for
it. During the rainy days of last,
week, streams Of water large enough
to carry saihng vessels flowed down
on either side. Holes were worn large

Closing exercises were held at the
Kaauhuhu school on Thursday morn

over, the children began rolling eggs
out in the yard. They were too funny
for anything, as each one was trying
to get the other to begin the fun.
When it did go, it went some and the
cracking of eggs, together with the
yells of the youngsters re-echoed from
the neighboring hills. Though it rain
ed, yet the little tots had a jolly old
time
The attendance of the Kaauhuhu
school has been very good in spite Of
the rain. There has been no call for a
truant officer since school began in
December, 1911.
1t has been said that MEuna Kea is
the only place in the island where PEG
pie could enjoy sliding down hills on
horses. How about our Hawi road,
Just above the ditch? During the last
few days when the rain was at its
highest pitch, people were seen sliding
down from one side of the road to the
other, like a machine without driver.
Gee! it's fun to see such sights.
