A Word of Appreciation

Where everyone worked so hard
and did so well it may vet not be
inappropriate to specially COM
mend the efficient leadership of
Mrs. J. l.. Robertson the president
of the Club in connection with the
Mokihana Fair last week.
Very much of the smooth con-
duct of the whole affair, and the
genial spirit of fellowship and CO.
operation on the part Of interests
more or less diverse was due to the
fact, courtesy and consideration of
her leadership.
In addition to this she gave her
self unreservedly to the cause: !:
nothing was too much trouble: any
thing was worth while that would
bring results.

Taro DEVELOPMENT

For a number of years Mr.. Ger
rit P. Wilder has been engaged in
the collection and study of different
varieties of taro. In the course OF
this study he has been led to expert
ment in the production of Seeding
varieties by means of artificial cross
pollenation.
AS the result of these efforts he
now has about $50 Seeding taro
plants produced in this way. He
hopes by this means to develop new
varieties that may be more resistant
to the various diseases to which taro
of late years has fallen a prey, max
ing it more or less a scarce and ex-
pensive food.
The tarO, as everyone knows has
been always propagated by planting
the tops, known as huli's by the
Hawaiians Taro from seed is an
unheard-of novelty.

was all gone, to the last ounce, long
before the evening was over.
The Refreshment Department was
increasingly popular as the evening
wore ON. And when people found
how really delicious things were they
regretted that they had not come
prepared to eat dinner there. The
Delicatessen department dispensed
quantities Of home jams, jellies,
baked beans etc. The home grown,
and home-ground, corn meal was a
novelty that appealed to the popu-
lar fancy so that the demand far
outran the supply on hand, and
an aftermath of sales is still run

There were games, Quoits, Ring

A GOOD BALL
GAME At ELEELE

In one of the most exciting ball
games ever played on a local dia-
mond, the McBrydes, champions of
the 1917 series, defeated the Kauai
picked nine captained by Antoine
Fernandez, by close score of to
6 at the McBryde ground last Sun
day.
The all Kauais had strong line
up and with a little more practice
should be able to down the McBrydc
combination. Okuda and Henry
Malina of the Lihues formed the
batteries for the all Kauais, while
Jno Costa, Antoine Fernandez and
Chico of the Makawelis, held down
the initial sack, the keystone station
and the hot corner respectively, with
Mitsu of the Koloas covering short
in brilliant fashion. The outfield
were represented by Rowan of Ko-
loa, Yamatoya and Sada of Makes.
The ground was a little slippery ow.
ing to the heavy rains ON the day
and night previous but nevertheless
both teams played bang up ball,
featured wit some spectacular
catches and marred only by a few
wild throws. .ultho the error columns
showed that each team sinned five
times.
The McBrydes started the fire.
works in their half of the first, Joe
Costa scoring after Jno Costa muffed
an easy fly to first base, but the
Kauais came back and evened up i'll
the third In the sixth the Kauais
found Ohama for three safties and
combined with three errors on the
part of the McBrydes nettcd four
runs. In the same frame, however,
the McBrydes came back strong,
and scored the same number OF runs
on five hits again resulting in tie.
Again the seventh both teams scor-
ed one each In the eighth with
Mitsu now pitching for the all Kau-
ais the McBrydes nosed out by one
run when Nobi Ohama cracked a
single to right and later crossed the
rubber on a wild pitch which
brought home the bacon as the all
Kauais failed to connect safely III
their last two frames.
The feature of the day was the
brilliant fielding of Dol, the fleet
footed lett fielder of the McBlydcs,
who is rated as one of the most
slickicst pirates on balldom ocean.
He prevented tie game, when. in
the fourth inning Chico of sluggiig
fame, lifted a long fly, one of the
longest ever seen on the McBrvde
diamond, towards the left field foul
line. The ball went sailing and it
would have been sailing yet had not
Dol by great squirt reached un-
der just as the ball was about to
drop for a long home run and held
it for an out. The catch was one
of the prettiest ever seen on local
lot. He had the crowd on their
feet and was loudly applauded for
the brilliant performance. In the
same frame, he again duplicated
the same act when he raced to deep
short and scooped Rowan's fly and
again he received the same ovation
from the crowd of spectators. He
also cracked out two singles, one of
which brought in the fourth man
across the rubber in the sixth in
ming. Okuda and Ohama both
pitched fair game. Mitsu of the
all Kauais and Nobi Ohama of the
McBrydes were the leading stickcrs
of the day each securing three hits
including a three bagger by Ohama.

Departing

Mr.. and Mrs. j. l. Robertson
are leaving Kauai by the Kinau on
Saturday, On and off they have
been residents Of the Island for ten
years or so. During this time they
have won for themselves an envia-
BILE place in the respect and regard
of the community. They are, very
much, the kind of people who are
ready to shove in all community
affairs, and to grease the wheels as
we'll, by wit and spice, and good
fellowship.
Our best wishes go with them.

For Mrs. il. Robertson

Mrs. A. S. Wilcox gave poi
lunch in honor of Mrs J. L. Rob-
ertson at one O'Clock today at her
Kilohana home at which there were
some two dozen guests. The decora-
tions were African daisies most art
iscally disposed.
A special advantage of a poi lunch
is the easy feeling OF satisfaction on
the part of the guests, since all the
viands are home grown.
Following the lunch most of the
guests devoted part of the afternoon
to cards.

The Fish Pond

A long open box, like monster
cradle filled with sealed packages,
every one a prize, with fishing rods
to draw them out with.
This was crowded four or five
tier deep with eager expectant
children, young and old, waiting for
a chance to go fishing where you
knew you would catch something.
You didn't always catch the kind
of fish that you wanted, you never
do in fishing, but you always got
something. One bachelor man,
with an eye for big fish, caught an
ample ladies picture hat. But of
course you could always exchange!
There was a furious run on the
pond until the last lone fish was
pulled out, then the youngsters
turned away with disappointment
crying, why didn't you have a
bigger pond with plenty of fish, so
we could stay right here till our
money was pau" In addition to
the attractive element of chance,
they all got good value for their
money, and some drew veritable
prizes.

Other Attractions

In the entertaining class may be
mentioned the Fortune Telling booth
where two very attractive gypsy
maids looked into the future for
you, and brought back outline
visions of things that they saw for
you and that you would be interest
ed in knowing, the one by means of
shufling cards-the othel by hold
ing your hand. Whether or not
you were pleased with the fortune,
you were pleased with the gypsies.
The Hula booth was more or less
of mystery. Very closely curtain
tanned, none but the elect who put
up the coin might enter, and the
show that transpired there cast no
shadows even on the curtains.
Those who got in and out again
proclaimed that they had secured
their moneys worth.
Where You Got Moneys Worth
A very attractive and popular
spot for the men was the Cigar
booth with its original and witty
placard invitations and its excellent
wares.
The Punch booth was naturally
popular, and the drinks dispensed
really delicious, evidently some new
recipe.
Other booths that did a thriv-
ing business the whole evening
through were the Fancy Work a

A most amazing black cat with a
veritable tail of large proportions
was a realistic feature that awaken
ed much interest. >
The lit le children as usual won
the most favor by their cuteness
and unconcern; all We're good how
ever and the program was most
original and unique. The training
was done by Miss Searight.

The Punch and Judy Show

As soon as this classic exhibition
opened, a great crowd gathered in
front of the booth, and watched
with rapt attention the wrangling,
escapades and vicissitudes of this
entertaining pair There were peals
of laughter and applause as one or
the other of these vituperative cha
racters scored point, or made a
hit. 1t was one of the most popu-
