While II is well understood that
MoanaiHa Is private property, it
would seem that recent Developments
in the vicinity of the golf links would
warrant some sort OF supervision. For
the past few weeks the golf course has
been infested with number of half
grown young fellows that roam about
in groups and make themselves as an
moving to the golf players as Is pos

those not expert at the game, she must
actually run to the ball or be forced
to see one OF the youngsters dash
ahead. seize the ball and make away
with It with an impudent jeer. No
recourse Is possible and the matter is
one that would appear to be growing
worse. The smaller lads employed as
