A UNIQUE LETTER
REACHES LIHUEITE

A. r. Robertson, inspector for
the new county building, now un-
der course of construction, has re-
ceived a letter from a Honolulu
friend, which is unique, if nothing
else 1t came III a roll, cost % cents
to get it here, and is about forty
feet long. Il am dropping YOU
ONLY line, says the writer, and
then proceeds TO an a addin 6
machine, where y eurolls ard
writes, beginning at the end ard
carrying the line Gown the strip
of narrow paper. When he ran out
of paper. he re-rolled and wrote q
line on the other side. Thus did he
carry out his promise to only drop
line, though in truth, writing a
very long and highly interesting
letter. Mr.. Robertson will keep
the letter as one of the most in
teresting communications that he
ever received.

Telephone Service

Much complaint has been heard
concerning the telephone service
we have had since the instalment
of the new electric lighting
system, the condition being due,
it is said, by the transmission of
current from light wire to tele-
phone wire. II is practically inn
possible to use the phone on the
Hanalei side at times, and as there
has been no move on the part of
the telephone company to remedy
these conditions, the subscribers
are becoming somewhat weary OF
waiting, which is evidenced by the
numerous mutteriu2s of d;ssatis-
faction with the service they are
getting.

IMPORTED GRASS,
PROVING SUCCESS

On a recent trip to Hanalei, the
writer was happily surprised to see
the improvement i'll the appearance
of the grazing lands of the Prince
vile Plantation. For the last four
years, h management of this
vast ranch has been experiment
ing with various kinds of grasses,
with the aim of producing a larger
amount of forage for the stock,
and that success has been attained
in this big undertaking, is eviden-
ed by the remarkable improvement
both in the appearance of the fields
and the condition of the cattle.
Hon. A. S. Wilcox, has made a
speciality of Herford, importing
the finest specimens obtainable for
his ranch. The result is that TODAY,
hundreds of as fine cattle as can be
found anywhere, are to be seen on
this big ranch.

WIN. BROADBENT
HAS PASSED AWAY

The death of William Broadbent
on Wednesday last at the age OF
IS years removes from our midst a
genial and interesting personality.
Born in Lincolnshire England,
carefully brought up and literally
educated by a well-to-do uncle he
entered the East India Service.
Those were the palmy days OF that
great company when it administer
ed the fate of an empire and con-
trolled the c o IN m ( e t a
Hemisphere.
He made several trips to India,
was there through h Indian
mut;ny and finally fell a victim
to cholera from which he narrowly
recovered and was invalided home
broken man. A sea voyage be-
ing recommended he took t h e
longest one available to New Zea-
land. Having recovered his health
h e concluded o remain there
where he served in the Maori war
and engaged in mining and other
occupations. The last Is years of
his life he spent here i'll Lihue
with his son.
Of a retiring disposition h e
avoided publicity and was practi-
cally unknown except to few in
innate friends, but by these friends
lie was very highly esteemed as an
exceptionally interesting and in
telligent man. His liberal educa-
ton, broad experience and wide
range of reading gave him a large
outlook on life and made him a
very enjoyable n d instructive
companion. Brought up In the
old school he clung tenaciously to
the old time doctrines OF honor,
honesty integrity, courtesy an d
chivalry and had no use tor the
shilly-shally compromises OF II
indifferent morality. But withal he
was charitable and kindly to the
last degree always thoughtful of
others, never censorious, always
ready to see and appreciate the
good.
A great sufferer during the last
year or two of his life, he was un-
failinglv cheerful a n d accepted
what came to him with an almost
stoical resignation.

Masterpiece of Eloquence Displayed by
Kauai's 'Silver-tonged' Orator Tells
Of Our Importance
SAYS THAT 1--WE ARE NOT SO GREEN AS We LOOK

The following is the response
given by J. M. Lydgate to the
sentiment, See Kauai next at
the lunch given by the Honolulu
AID Club to the Civic Convention
Tuesday Sept. 20:
1t is with grateful sense of appre-
citation that Kauai takes her place among
her sister Islands in this civic movement.
1t is with a certain measure of modest
surprise a 8 o at the assurance II
temerity of her older sisters. Sometimes
she holds her breath ut the way they

the nerve to do the same. A very shy
and retiring country maiden, you will
have to be patient with her; but perhaps
she isn't as green as she looks-She'l II
soon catch on!
"See Kauai Next" Why?
Because Kauai is the oldest Island, the
best finished Island, the best watered
Island. the Garden Island. These are
all factors oil grace and beauty. To the
rough work of the artisan has been add
ed the fine finish of the artistic noun
tains, cliffs, craters, canyons with the

hIgh-bred as Hawaii or Oahu. but she
has peachy complexion OF her own, the
kind that isn't put on with chainois
skin, and won't rub off with Kiss.
'See Kauai Next Because it has the
only sands bark for it, whose waves
spout for it, the only Island with map.
Kauai is the compact Island, with no
long monotonous stretches, 30 miles in
either direction, with something doing
every minute of the way. The Island of
the successful homesteader and small
farmer, with his cozy little home gracing
the hillside, and his cozy little balance
gracing the bank. The Island with the
best roads, the best county government,
the best county engineer and the best
general electorate, and this after all is
the final issue.
You have talked o. { borrowing our
supervisors and our road engineer. They
wouldn't do you any good they would be
helpless with the kind of voters you have.
"See Kauai Next" When. Next! If
you have seen Oahu and Hawaii and
Maui, you have made great mistake
and the only way to remedy it is 10 see
Kauai next. If you haven't seen Hawaii
and Maui, if you have just landed and
haven't seen anything, then by all means
see Kauai next, now, right away! Then
if anything happens you've got h G
cream anyway.

lust Think 1t Over

1t is affirmed that you are what
you think you are.
If YOU think you are what you
think you are you will naturally
believe and think that you really
think what you are.
But if you only think what you
are in truth, you are more than
likely to think and believe that
you only think you think what
you are.
If YOU think you are what you
are not, then what you think is
not what you are, and what you
are is not what you think you are
not, and what you are not is not
what you think you are not, but
what you think you are.
When what you think YOU are is
not what you think, you think you
are what you think you are, while
as a matter of fact, you are what
YOU are, and not at all what YOU
think YOU are.
So, if you truly want to be what
YOU think you are. be sure and
think only that you are just what
YOU are, rather than what you
think you are.
And then it must follow that il

you are what you think you are.

QUARTERLY MEET

The Senior Z. +. Society of Lii
hue treated Il various e. L.
Societies of Kauai nei last Sunday
to as pleasing programme as any
of our local c. l.. Societies have
ever seen. Although the real and
.nec essary requirements of the c.
+. rally were not completely
carried out, still, the rally was
well attended and whatever work
was produced by each society, they
did well, and were highly sdmirod
by all. The rallv was so largely
attended that the capacity cf Ii
hue's Hawaiian Church was taxed
to the limit. Societies from Keka-
ha, Waimea, Hanapepe and Ko-
loa attended i ii full, while tine
Societies on the eastern side of the
island failed to appear in goodly
number, owing 10 rainy weather.
However Hanalei and Kapaa APP

exercises by each of the societies
showed h wv they stood More
particularly t o be mentioned is
t Il Hanapepe c l. . Society
which presented wonderful show
ing with its exercises. The ceasing
of real and active church work at
Hanapepe for the last few years
was taken up by the Island Con-
vention at the last session held in
Kapaa i'll April. A committee
was sent into that field, and it was
not until last Sunday when they
travelled the distance of twenty
one miles to show the fruits of
their labor. The choruses sung
were so well rendered that they
brought out we'll deserved ap-
plause. 1t gives a wonderful hope
to all church workers, that Hama
pepe will be brought forward once
a Il t o its former standard.
Generally, each c. L. Society had
good representation and showed
long and careful preparation.
Brief remarks were made b
Messrs l.. A. Dickey. J. NJ. Kane
akua, J. K. Kapuniai and w
Werner. They chiefly based their
remarks on the very satisfactory
work rendered by each society.
Many valuable suggestions were
given for the furtherance of the
work in each c. +. Society. All
were encouraged to strive forward
in the good work for Christ and
his church.
