For The Belgians

The afternoon entertainment on
the Lihue Union Church lawn on
Friday afternoon for the benefit of
the Belgians for a Day Nursery was
a very pleasant as well as successful
affair, financially as well as social
ly. Young ladies sold the Belgian
colors, artistically arranged as favors
as well as leis, lemonade, etc. while
an interesting and enjoyable musi-
cal program was given by the Sun
day School girls and their friends.
Mrs. Mesick gave an interesting
account of the work which is being
done in behalf of the Belgian suffer-
ers and made strong plea for them.
There was a goodly attendance
and the sum of ninety dollars was
realized which is being made up by
a friend to hundred dollars.

In Aid Of Belgium

The following paper was read by
Mrs. L. 5. Mesick at the entertain
ment on the church lawn last
Friday:
Famine and Distress
Since the beginning of time the
poor we have had with us always
but never before have we had with
us a people whose distress has mea-
sured up to the distress of Belgium.
Belgium's soil is noted for its ferti-
lityand its people have been noted
for their industry and their thrift
But for three years it has been
gripped by famine. 1t cannot find
food for its hungry mouths and yet
it is compelled to pay its despoiler
tribute heavy enough to bankrupt
it even in normal times. Its best
manhood is either dead, crippled or
in prison and its women and chill
are striving in every possible way
to keep soul and body together from
day to day amid conditions so de-
plorable that they count them
selves fortunate in enduring a con-
slant state of semi starvation if they
can escape the horrors of the vast
ing diseases that ever follow in the
wake of such conditions.
These are the poor that we have
with us now in addition to those
others who are always with us and
| have been asked to tell you, today
of some of the ways in which we
are trying to help them.
Day Nurseries
In that portion of Belgium that
has not been conquered, and in the
other portions that Belgium is re-
taking from the enemy, day nur-
series are being established as fast as
conditions will admit Of. Each OF
these nurseries has about fifty beds

Development Of the American
Red Cross in Hawaii

Several years ago, the first Anne
rican Red Cross Organization in
Hawaii was started in Honolulu,
with our honored citizen and first
governor, Judge Sanford B. Dole,
as chairman. Interest in a large
way lapsed to such an extent. that
it was finally given up, much to the
regret of few of those most active.
So it was, that at the time of the
present war, there was no American
Red Cross Organization in these Is
lands. Soon after Americas en-
trance into the war this spring, the
re was OF course renewed interest
and a desire on the part of many to
Immediately organize the American
Red Cross in Hawaii A little hand
full of Lihue women have the dis
tinction of being the first to start
the movement of organization, the
Lihue Auxiliary at large being the
Oldest existing Red Cross Organiza-
ton in this territory. Correspon-
dence with Washington fol the for
nation of this auxiliary was started
in May of this year, and the auxi-
liary was officially authorized July
1st 1917. The chapter in Hilo prov
ed itself very close second to Lii
hue and next in line came the Maui
Auxiliary followed by the Honolulu
Chapter.
Kauai and Maui Auxiliaries at
Large have been ordered from
Washington to come under the
Honolulu chapter. This change,
which goes into effect as of Decem-
ber first of the year, greatly facili-
tates the shipping problem and les
sens the detailed work of the chap
ter in Honolulu. The Honolulu Ha-
waii Chapter in its turn is under
the Insular and Foreign Division,
which has headquarters in Wash
ington, DC.
The new Kauai Auxiliary will be
composed of two divisions-the Lii
hue section. which will take in IN
its from Koloa to Hanalei. and the
West Kauai section whose iurisdic-
ton will reach from Homestead to
Kekaha.

First Of the Season

The Lihue Hawaiian Sunday
School had Christmas Party"
Saturday evening at the Armory
which was Il huge success. 1t was
a sort of three-ringed circus affair
with uproarious games and festivi-
ties going in everyone OF them all
the time. So much fun from such
simple expedients has seldom been
seen in this neighborhood. A gen.
erous Christmas bag of sweetmeats,
nuts, fruit, etc. was given after the
games, to each and every member
present as well as to the many
guests.

THE COMMUNITY
CHRISTMAS TREE

The rehearsal on Saturday at the
Armory was a very pleasant and re-
assuring surprise.
There were between 300 and 400
singers there made up mostly of the
Lihue Public Schools and the High
School, and the mass choral singing
was astonishingly good, giving as
surance of an inspiring and entirely
successful affair on Sunday even
ing.
Even if there were nothing else
the singing of these mass choruses
would be well worth coming to hear.
The Special Singing.
The Hawaiians will render three
special numbers no farther guaran-
tee of excellence is needed.
The Lihue Union choir have been
doing lot of faithful work under
the leadership of Mr.. Maser and we
have reason to believe that they will
do themselves much credit.
The japanese Sunday School will
render some very effective motion
songs, with little tots in kimonos.
There will be a Korean Sunday
School contingent, also something
original and unique from the Fill
pinos.
illustrated Hymns.
A series of Hymns to be rendered
by the Lihue Union Choir will be
illustrated by Tableau scenes pre-
sented by the Sunday School child
ren. These will be effective and
unique.
A Crowd Wanted.
The Armory will hold 1900 peo-
pie or over: it is expected that it
will be filled to overflowing.
The performers will probably ag-
gregate over 500: an absolutely full
house is the program.
If you can't get a seat, the stand
ing will be good; and anyway twill
be so interesting that you won't
know you are standing.
Free For All.
This is to be emphatically a de-
mocratic occasion; every one will
be as good as everybody else, per
haps little better.
A collection will be taken for the
benefit OF the national Red Cross.

Preliminaries Of
the Red Cross Drive

The general committee to handle
the Red Cross Drive now on, con-
sists of Fred Patterson, chairman;
TIL. Brandt, E. A. Knudsen, A.
II. Case, James Spalding and E.W.
Kopke.
They held a meeting on Satur-
day at the county building in con-
junction with Mrs. G.. A Rice, is
land president, the county supervi-
sors and others.
They formulated plan by which
they would organize the campaign
in their respective districts, to can
vas the various races and precincts
50 as to secure the most comprehen-
sive and absolute results. Upwards
of three thousand new members
are required that Kauai may come
up the leyel of her requirements.
This is no easy task and will call
for the most faithful and strenuous
endeavor on the part of all who can
help. People must wake up to the
serious compulsion of a patriotic
duty, which must be faced, and
should be faced cheerfully and gen.
erously.
At this meeting there was a good
deal of discussion as to the men,
bership buttons. 1t was generally
agreed that this was a very impor-
tant factor of the drive and that
unless some such tangible evidence
of membership were forth coming,
it would be difficult to secure men,
bers among the laboring classes
unfortunately there was no assur-
ance that these buttons would be
available.
If they failed to arrive in Homo
lulu. we would have to go without
them. Various substitutes were
suggested but there was more or
less uncertainty about them on such
short notice. Finally a wireless was
sent to town emphasizing the abso-
lutte need of these buttons, or of
some suitable substitute.

now in process of installation would
be finished in time for this coming

that this cannot be. The myriads

locating some trifling leak. By the

assured.

Disinterested Patriotic
Service.

The men and women engaged by
the American Red Cross all over the
world are working and rendering
their assistance without pay. Practi-
carly every person working for the
Red Gloss in Europe today is tax
ing as great chance of loosing his
or her life as a soldier at the front,
and they are rending their services
in the cause of liberty and humanity
without one dollars pay.
Are you going 10 help or is this great
and splendid work going TO perish for
lack of funds.
Your Duty.
1. To become a membef of the
American Red Cross for the year
1918; and your membership should
be of such a character that it will
mean something. The laborers of
the Island are subscribing for the
one and two dollar memberships
with some as high as five dollars
contributing members. 1t is the duty
of every person on this Island who
can possibly afford to do so, to take
out life membership of the Amer
ican Red Cross as Christmas to the
cause, Of humanity, ,and as a help to
the soldiers on the battlefields who
are giving their lives for the cause
of humanity and liberty.

MAKES Big OFFER
FOR TWO OPLAYERS
Weeghman, to Get Hornsby and
Snyder, Will Pay 0,000
and Eve Stars.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26-President
weeghman, OF the Chicago Cubs, has
made a big offer TO Mrs. Helen Hatha-
way Britton. owner of the St Louis
Cardinals, for the release OF Third
Baseman :Pep" Hornsby and Catcher
Snyder. He is prepared to hand over
$50 900 in cash or a b6nus of $4,000
together with the releases of.five play
Flack, Third Baseman
Zeider, First Baseman MollwitZ,
Catcher Wilson and Pitcher Seaton.
Mrs. Britton. 1t is said. is inclined
to accept one OF Weeghman's proposi-
tions, but she cannot obtain the con-
sent OF Manager Huggins.
On top OF this story comes the news
that Huggins is anxious to buy the
Cardinals from Mrs. Britton and has
received a thirty-day option, the price
for the franchise, players and plant
being S450,OOO.
Huggins has been trying to buy the
club for more than a year. He is
said to be backed by st. Louis syndi-
cate. II he is unsuccessful, however,
baseball men predict that Hornsby
and Snyder will be members of the
Cubs when the National League sea
son opens. The Cubs are lamentably
weak at third base and behind the
bat. hence Weeghman's desperate ef-
forts to land the Cardinals stars.

SPEAKERS ADVICE
BRINGS JOE WOOD
Indians Great 0utfieIder In
sisted Pitcher Has Regained
Effectiveness.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Tris Speak.
er is responsible for the purchase of
Joe Wood by the Cleveland& club
which paid $4,000 for the once
crack pitcher OF the Red sox on Sat
urday.
The completion OF this important
deal was exclusively announced here
before Vice President McRoy of the
Clevelands was prepared TO give the
news to the Forest City scribes. Wood
promptly signed a contract and will
go at once to the Indians training
camp.
Speaker has maintained for more
than a year that Wood has not lost
his skill. Wood and Speaker were
close friends when they helped the
Red Sox to win the Worlds Champ
ionship in 1912. The engagement of
Wood therefore was the result of
Speakers pIeAdings.
II Wood comes back with the effec-
tiveness that once made him the best
pitcher in the American League.
Cleveland will be more dangerous
than they were last season. But IT
must be remembered that Wood has
not pitched a game since 1915, which
may be a serious handicap. In that
event Speakers advice will have cost
about $4,000, including the amount
of the Smoke Ball Kings" salary.
