FAREWELL DINNER

FRIDAY evening the Knudsen
home, Kekaha, was the scene of a
very pretty dinner given in honor
of Rev. c. d. Milliken, who is
leaving shortly for the coast.
The dinner was served on the
spacious lanai, amid an artistic
setting of palms and ferns.
A unique feature was the huge
square banqueting table, the dec.
orations of which consisted wholly
of long spla Of golden shower,
and an exquisite carving of Florer-
tine marble, indicating the place
of the guest of honor. Dainty
place card of pale yellow carried
out the same color scheme. Soft

shaded candles helped to give a
fairy-like touch to the charming
ensemble.

MOK|HANAS REPLY
TO Mr.. KNUOSEN
Refer To Their Position In
Brown Matter--- Signers
Of Petition.
Lihue, Kauai,
June %, 1916.

EDITOR GARDEN ISLAND:
A letter from Hon. Eric A.
Knudsen in last weeks GARDEN
ISLAND may give many people
wrong impression of the attitude
of the committee of ladies which
called on him in relation to the
failure of the Department OF Edu-
cation to continue Mr.. and Mrs.
II. C. Brown as teachers. Moth
inp was farther from the minds of
those concerned than to raise any
factional feeling between different
localities on Kauai or to attack
any official. The letter OF the
Honorable Commissioner misrep.
resents absolutely the interview
between himself and the commit
tee.
1t has seemed to many that to
lose two of the best teachers OF
Kauai suddenly, without any an.
nounced reason, was wrong and
this interview was to ask the rea-
sons for the department action
and to ask the commissioner to ar
range for rehearing. Mr.. knud'
sen saws that he told the commit
tee of ladies that he would take
the matter up again with the de-
pattment, but the committee un-
.1srstood him to make the opposite
statement. Therefore, with this
understanding they helped to cir
culate petition to the governor
to have Mr.. and Mrs. Brown re.
tanned in the department.. We
ask you to publish this petition
with the names subscribed. 1t
will show the nature aud the in
tention of the movement to have
the Browns retained and 1t will
also show that it is not local, but
includes names of people from
Kekaha to Wainiha.
Yours very truly.

TORY OF HAWAII:
We the undersigned residents
of the County of Kauai beg to
draw your attention to the follow
ing petition:
We learn with regret and appre-
hension that the Department of
Public Instruction has failed to
reappoint Mr.. and Mrs. Brown
to their positions in the Waimea
School, or to any other position in
the department.
We feel that grave injustice has
been done Mr.. and Mrs. Brown by
this action of the Department, and
would hereby respectfully request
that the Department reconsider its
action in this matter, with view
to a more equitable treatment of
these teachers of long standing
and proven ability. 1t is we be-
lieve a matter of fact beyond con-
troversy that they have given
themselves with untiring industry
and devotion to the interests Of
their school; and mistakes have
been the result of their anxious
desire TO further its wellbeing,
We deplore the harshness of
treatment sh own toward Mr..
Brown, the principal, OIL COM

and while in no way disposed 10
excuse a failure to obey the in
structions of the Department, as
charged against Mrs. Brown, we
feel that a reprimand and a warn

CUPID MAKES JUNE RECORD.
Causes 539 Washington Couples to
Take Out Marriage Licenses.

Dan Cupid is elated today because he
esta blished a new record for June we'd
dings in the District of Columbia last
month. At the close Of business yes
terday Col. w. A. Kroll, Cupid's chief
lieutenant in Washington. announced
that during the month he had issued
53s licenses. This number is thirty one
in excess of June, 1915, and thirty more
than in June. 1914. which had been the
banner month in Washington.
What part the mobilizatioH order of
President Wilson played In Cupid's
new June record is problematic. 1t is
true that nine licenses were taken out
by members of the District guard fol-
lowing the call to the colors. burt Col
Kroll is unable to estimate how many
of these -oulG have been married dur
ing the month anyhow. AS one Of these
war licenses was returned to him for
cancellation, the license clerk Is rather
inclined to the view that the call to
arms may have had some deterring
effect on couples that might have
otherwise sought his aid during the
month and thereby swelled the months
record.

New gray hairs are adorning
my venerable dome. The sheriff
came this morning and shooed me
from my home. My good wife,
Jane. Mirandy, is weeping by the
gate, and little Bess and Andy
can't get their smiles on straight.
Life treated US so gayly, that liv-
ing seemed like play, but now it's
willow-waly, alas, alackaday! We
used up every dollar, as fast as it
was earned, and now we sit and
holler for all the coin we burned.
We. laughed at plodding neigh
bors, who picked half their scads,
the product of their labors, the
dollars of their dads. While they
were toiling. plugging, with fun
from them afar, we went around
chug-chugging, in mortgaged mo-
tor car. We heard the sages
gable of rainy days and woe, but
laughed, and joined the rabble to
see the movie show. We hit the
higher places, regardless of ex-
pense, and now the sheriff chases
us from our residence. Well may
you weep, Mirandy, and squirt
the tears around, and we'll may
Bess and Andy send up a doleful
sound. Now that we've come our
croppcrs, we view things with
alarrl; and we shall join the
paupers, out at the county farm.

LA PLATA, Md. July 1.-Scores of
Washington automobiIists and anglers
who visit Rock Point and other places
in the lower end of Charles county will
be pleased to learn of the work just
done on the road below Lothair. The
recent heavy rains washed the road in

dents Of the lower end of the county

urging upon them the necessity for
immediate repairs. and the work was
done.
There Is a stretch Of about seven
miles between here and the Wicomico
river on which no work has been done
by the state. and. 1t is stated, the state
road commission will improve it this
year. The improvement will give auto
mobilists the benefit of flfty-five miles
of good road between Washington and
the Wicomico. a distance equal to that
between the National Capital and
Leonardtown-
