FOR
BIG MILITARY DAY

The committees of the National
Guard on Fourth of July celebra-
ton had a bong session with tile
chairman Of the Board of Super
visors n the County Building
SATURDAY. night in the effort to
straig hten out the matter of where
the finances tor the affair are to
come from. Reports from the
transportation committee develop
ed the gratifying fact that the
nine companies of outside troops
my be moved into Lihue and back
home again without charge. That
cut the prospective expenses in
half at one shot and greatly
smplifed the problem.
The supervisors, according to
Mr.. Wishard, were doubtful that
they could appropriate money for
the entire budget of expenses, but
it appeared that total of $500 of
the items submitted bv the COM
mittee were within the law: and
he thought that the supervisors
could be relied upon to supply
that amount, the officers of the
Gulrd TO raise the remaining sum
of $500.
The chairman of the finance
committee replied to this ;nat il
the supervisors would appropriate
$500 as suggested the officers OF
the regiment would put up the
remaining $500. That seemed
satisfactory al around and was
adopted bv vote as the plan to be
worked upon.
The finance committee announc-
el that it would issue cards with
out delav to all officers of the reg
imrnt inviting their contribu
tions.

committee. made very satisfac'
tory report of plans fer the bis

enterta ined a verv large number
of people from all parts of Kauai
at the famous Laval beach house
Sunday. Not only was it dav OF
pleasure long to be rene mbered,
but the Golfers of Major McBryde's
battalion were left simply bulging
out with the days receipts.
Automobiles began to arrive at
the top of the hill about 10 o clock
and before long the roadwavs there
were filled with them. Then came
the excursion trains from the Ma
kaweli Eleele side. which pretty
we'll filled the large grounds with
military men and their friends
The beach house proper was re-
served for dancing pastime
which was kept going pretty well
all day. Here and there in the
pretty grove were booths of varied
design and equally varied contents
There were flower, refres eshment
and candy booth; all sorts of guess
ing and chance propositions; hit
the niger affair; wheels of fortune.
and heavens knows what all all
doing a land-office business and
the big crowd gleeful in the ex-
treme all the while.
AT noon tn re was regular, old
time Hawaiian luau-the real thing,
where you sit down on your feet
Cor somebody else's feet and 6 orge
your way to stomachic satisfaction
There was not an idle moment,
nor a dull moment, nor an un-
pleasant moment nor a moment
when one whished to be elsewhere;
and when the affair gradually
dwindled to a close the unanimous
opinion was that it was the hugest
and most signal success of any
military function yet attempted

In this di- rection he was highly gifted and culti- vated his gift. A friend of his says that one method by which he kept his tall ents bright he learned by accident. He was asked to Putney to meet the poet, but on his arrival found him out. At Watts Dunton's request he waited, and soon heard a cab drive up, stop, and the poet alight. Then a hubbub, and pre- sently off went the cab as if the devil, instead of Swinburn, was behind. Watts Dunton supplied the explana- ton: "Oh. that's always his way.
