CONFESSIONS
. OF A WIFE

time I was working pretty hard
during the day and l wanted to
forget 1t il possible when / got
home at night. Donna always
wanted to talk over the affairs Of
the day, not only her affairs, but
my affairs, and | finally got into
the habit of ducking."
THAT is habit, a habit that
grows on a man." l broke in,
especially as he always finds it
an open season for ducks when
ever he leaves home and mother
for the hunt of distraction.
"Margie, accused Bill, you've
gotten slangy since l have been
away. l shall have to take you in
hand"
ANY old time, Bill, l place my
self in your hands" l said with e.
smile.
Bill did not say anything for a
moment, but he looked at me very
closely.
aren't you happy?" he asked
at last.
"As happy as it is given to us
poor mortals on this EARTH" an
swered.
Bill drew a long sigh. 81 guess
| am getting DID," he said, "for IL
had met you in this mood a few
years ago l would have asked yea
US up to - for a cup of tea
us up to -- ror ucp or tea
or something stronger
And then you would have tried
to flirt with me-" l broke in. Its
too late, Bill--too late for you
and too silly for me. | may as
we'll tell you that / have never
felt the inclination to interest
myself even mentally, let alons
sentimentally, in any man except
once for about a half hour on the
train, and that man was killed
shortly after in a wreck"
Bill laughed. Siren" he ex-
claimed gaily-"do all your
smiles mean death? 2"
Lets don't Jest about it, Bill.
| have always felt very sorry for
that man who died to save my
life."
$50 that was it," said Bill curl
ously. well, Margie, we all have
our little romances, don't we?'
But this was not a romance
I protested earnestly, "only am

Say, Mrs. Waverly." he inter-
rupted himself, do you know !

but do you know we have been
travelling around this block at

Maui Made Big Hit
With Song and Yell
Shared with AID Club HOnOrS at Civic
Convention Banquet. G. Whites
Composition was Chief Feature.
Maui! Maui!
Maui no ka OIL
MAUI
Maui! But
Oh, You Kauai!

This is the yell that the Maui dele
CATION carried to the Kauai conven-
ton, and which did its full part in
keeping Maui in the foreground of all
that was going on. With Dave Lind
say as yell leader, and Dean" Jack
Walsh watching the decorum of the
bunch with eagle eye, Maui's fourteen
could not well help acquitting them
selves in creditable manner.
Maui had her full quota of dele
gates present, numbering in all four
teen, while Hawaii had eight. In the
Maui party were-"Dean J. j. Walsh,
ID. c. Lindsay, Hugh Howell, George
o. Cooper, d. H. Case, w. A. Baldwin,
VIII J. Cooper, w. H. Field, w. o..
Aiken, George Dunn and J. N. Keola,
representing the chamber of COM
merce; Philip Pail and Joel S. Cox,
representing the county of Maui; and

guest, and had charge of the vocal
exercises, other than the yells and the
speech-making.

Place in the big parade from the
Young Hotel to the wharf, on Sat
urday night Led by the Hawaiian
band, the Mauiites made quite a SEN
sation by marching with huge
sword, some 10 feet long, covered
with leaves from the silver sword
plant. They were followed by the
Ad Club with zoho band and dressed
in hula skirts and other weird rega-
liza. A very large crowd gathered
about the Young Hotel to see the
party off, and although a steady driz-
zle was falling it failed to dampen
the enthusiasm of the crusaders.
Trip Strenuous.
The trip for the Maui party was
rather strenuous. Leaving Wailuku
at 8 o'clock Friday night for Lahaina,
the Mauna Kea was boarded for Ho-
nolulu about l o'clock the following
morning. Honolulu was reached at
Z o'clock. The following night sleep
was little for anybody, owing Ad Club

kind on part of some of the band, and
to a bumpy passage. The landing at

Judge Mckay Sustained
In An Important Case

By a decision of the supreme court
handed down on Monday, Judge Nc
Kay, of the Wailuku district court
is sustained in his decision in the case
of David Palalliko VS.. County of Maui,
for the recovery of $50 paid as cash
bail, and declared forfeited. Judge
Mckay decided the case in favor OF
the county, and it was appealed.
While the higher court sustains Judge
Mckay in that the money forfeited
to the county cannot be recovered, II
however holds that the the practice OF
taking cash bail is not countenanced
by law, and such security cannot
therefore be considered as satisfact-
ory bond for the appearance Of per
sons accused of crime. The decision
seems likely to overturn the practice
of years in this territory of police re-
leasing persons arrested on deposit
cash as security. Here"tr
will probably be necessary for such
persons to call upon their friends TO
go their bail, which will not be nearly
so convenient as it was to put up
S5 with the police and then forget
about the matter.

Francisco on September 20, on their
way east to visit Mrs. Dodge's father,

ject for 40 years.

Japanese Held For
Assault on Children
Terrible Story Comes to Police From
HOspital-One Little Victim Loses
Eve From Disease Induced by Brute.

Accused of a most dastardly Of
fense against three little Japanese
girls, Tokutaro Yanashita, cane
contractor of Puunene Camp 8, is now
in the Wailuku Jail awaiting the ac-
ton of the grand jury in the coming
term of criminal court. He was hall
ed before the district magistrate on
Wednesday but waived examination
through his attorney, Eugene Murphy
AS a result of Yamashita's criminal
abuse of the little children, the police
claim that one of his little victims,
Omao Takamori by name, has entirely
lost the sight of her left eye through
a loathsome disease which he COM
municated to her. The other two
girls, and IL years of age respect
lively, are also said to be diseased
from their contact with Yamashita,
and are now undergoing medical treat
ment.
The facts in this horrible case came
to light when the child with the in
fected eve was finally taken by her
parents to the Puunene Hospital for
treatment. When the nature of the
child's ailment was discovered the pO-
lice were notified, with the result that
the children's story of how they had
been lured to Yamashita's room by
brihes of candy and fruit, was brought
out. Yamashita is about 40 years OF
age. and unmarried. The police say
he is in bad condition owing to his
disease. The charge against him is
an assault upon female child under
the age of 12 years. with intent To

Say HOmeSteadS Are
NOtBeing Abandoned
Farmers Association Has Faith In
Future Outlook Bright-KrausS
Elected President of Association.

That the Kuiaha homesteaders are
abandoning" their holdings and That
there is possibility that the home.
steading experiment in the district is
to prove a failure, is emphatically dc
MED by the homesteaders them selves.
At a meeting of the Haiku Farmers
Association held last Saturday even
ing at the Kuiaka school house, the
matter was discussed at considerable
length. 1t is declared that the fact
of the matter is that a few have left
temporarily in order to earn a living
but that the majority are still on their
lands and have no idea of giving th:m
up or of moving from them.
Want Road Work Started.
The homesteaders are also getting
impatient to have the work started on
the road construction, for which there
is now about $45,000 available through
appropriations made by the last legis-
lature. A committee was appointed to
take up the matter with the Loan
Fund Commission.
F. G.. Kradss was elected president
of the association to succeed H. NJ.
Wells, who recently resigned on &c
count of press of other duties. Mr..
Krauss, who besides being one of the
homesteaders himself is superintend-
ent of the extension work OF the Ha-
waii experiment station, spoke en-
Enthusiastically of the results of the
past year on the experimental farm
which he has been conducting.
Five Crops of Proven Worth.
Mr.. Krauss stated that five crops
have successfully passed the export
mental tests in the district, and that
bulletins on these viii be published
early IN November. These crops are:
the jack bean, san hemp, COW peas,
violet bean, and a new variety of
sweet potato which is in much de-
mand in the California trade. Seed
of these crops will soon be ready for
distribution. Mr.. Krauss also has a
number of other crops which he be
lieves will be enlinently suited to To-
cal conditions, but which he is not
yet ready to announce. He is entirely
confident that the problem of farming
at a profit in the Kuiaha district is
very near its solution.
1t was announced at the meeting
that a large number of seeding eu-
calyptus trees for planting are to be
had from w. Hannestad, Of Maka-
wac, and most of the homesteaders
are preparing to plant many of tn 'se
for windbreaks and for fuel purposes.

Promotion Committee to
Meet Here in November

In accordance with the decision
made some months ago, at the time
of the reorganization of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee, to hold sew
eral meetings each year on the vari-
Gus islands besides Oahu, the com
mittee viii meet on Maui early in
November. 1t is probable that the
meeting will occupy several days
time, during which the members will
visit Haleakala, and possibly other
points of interest to tourists and
others. The members believe that by
these outside meetings, to which an
effort will be made to obtain the at
tendance of the people generally,
much benefit will be derived.

in when he and police officer rushed
the door-keeper at the entrance of
rooms over the Enders' auto supply
shop on Market street, on Thursday
night. The place, according to the

legislature and working for their rea-
lization.
ID. H. Case, of Maui opposed a form
al organization, but would have a
board of trustees, of directors to hold
from year to year, whose duty it
would be to handle such hold over
work. This idea seemed to express
the general feeling, and PaXson de-
clared that the organization he pro
posed need not go further than Case
had outlined.
A Great Reception.
The Kauai people certainly did
themselves proud in taking care of
the It's or more delegates and guests,
who reached Nawiliwili in a not over
ly happy frame of mind about seven
O'Clock on Sunday morning by the
steamer Kinau. The trip was rather
rough from Honolulu, and the land
ing was very choppy. The Kinau was
able to furnish berths to scarcely half
of the crowd, the remainder occupy
ing settees and mattresses spread on
the decks. The Maui crowd was prac-
tically all accommodated in this man
ner, though on account of the conges-
tion the decks were perhaps more
comfortable than the staterooms
General Manager J. A. Kennedy of
the Inter-Island, who accompanied the
party, explained that the Kilauea was
not substituted for the Kinau on ac-
count of the expense of operating the
larger vessel.

Honolulu Band Disgrace
Speaking of bands, the Hawaiian
band of Honolulu accompanied the Ho
nolulu delegation, but reflected nc
honor on itself or its party. The new
bandmaster, Peter Kalani, seems to
have no control over his organization
On the steamer from Honolulu a con
siderable number of the men were dis
gracefully drunk. One man had to
be tied to a stanchion, where he
should have been gagged on account
of the horrible language he used. Or

ly gotten together in part on two briei
occasions.
