Red Cross Activity
Among the japanese

During the last week two new
units have been organized among
the japanese of the Lihue district,
one at Kapaia under the leadership
of Mrs. Miyasaki, the wife of the
Buddhist priest and the other at
Lihue under the direction of Mrs.
Okamoto the wife of the minister of
the japanese church.
Both units have taken hold with
enthusiasm and give every assurance
of rendering valuable assistance in
this great work. Strange to say
they are adopts in the art of knit
ting,
At Kapaa and Kealia a strong
unit has been organized consisting
of some 45 members who are indivi-
dually and collectively hard at work
with regular meetings and goodly
output of results to their credit al
ready. They are working under the
leadership of Mrs. Dye the wife of
the Buddhist priest.
They wish to express their CRATE
full appreciation of the assistance
that Mrs. Semi has given them in
inaugurating the work.

RemodelIing Of the
McBryde MIL

The McBryde mill is in process of
almost complete internal transforma-
ton. A new standard triple effect,
a large II foot vacuum pan, four
new crystalizers and a new juice
heater, besides the necessary chang
es that go with these additions, TAX
en- with the improvements made last
year will bring McBryde to the very
front among the factories of the Is
lands. The work is already well
along toward a finish so that they
viii be ready to start on the new
crop in time.
The transformation is being made
by Cation and Neill who are rapidly
becoming the leading sugar-mill en-
gineers of the Islands.

The Opening Of the
Mokihana Club

The president, elect of the Moki-
hama Club, Mrs. j. l.. Robertson.
called the meeting to order Friday
afternoon with an uncommonly fine
attendance which finally ran up to
seventy or over. The secretary read
the minutes of the last meeting and
then the various committees were
requested to present their plans for
the work of the year.
The work committee reported
that the year would be devoted
mainly to the study of food conser-
walton and economy and outlined a
program of month to month activi-
tv, which, beginning with a lecture
by DR.. Dean would be followed by
lectures and demonstrations by Mrs.
Russell and others.
The music committee reported
that they had arranged for repre-
sentative studies of modern Nation
al Music in which Russian, French,
Italian, and American music would
hold the chief places.
Owing to the largely increased
membership of the Club it was sug-
gested by the President that it
might be wise to have more than
two hostesses to share the duties OF
hospitality. 1t was finally decided
to increase the number from two to
four.
1t was explained that the County
Agent was working up a Garden
Contest for the school children, that
several prizes had been offered by
different persons in the community,
and that a suggestion had been
made that the Mokihana offer one.
After some discussion it was voted
to offer such a prize to consist of
S25, such prize to be under the dis
pensation of the garden committee.
Notice of the coming Religious
Education Campaign was given by
the President and the suggestion
advanced that the club attend on
what was to be known as "Mokiha-
ma night" as had been requested.
Being put as motion this was car
ried and the Mokihana will be there
at the appointed time.
Very favorable comment W "a S
made of the work so happily inaug-
urated by Miss Kuhlig the commu-
nifty nurse.
A very interesting and compre-
hensive lecture followed by DR.. A.
L. Dean of the College of Hawaii on
Food Control of which we hope TO
give a synopsis later.
The meeting closed with refresh
ments and general social recreation.

ing.

Well Done HanamauIu School

We are glad to hear of the COM
mendable action that has been tax
en- by the Hanamaulu school by
which they are going TO make a very
practical demonstration of their
sympathy for the suffering children
in Belgium.
They have been accustomed to
receive at Christmas time a gener
Gus distribution of candy and other
sweetmeats. They propose this year
to forego this treat and send the
money value of the same to these
suffering children.
Any one who knows ,how much
this Christmas treat means to chill
dren such as these who do not have
much OF this sort of things in their
lives, will understand the sacrifice
that they are making,

The Cropp-Weber
Wedding a Grand Affair

The most graceful, impressive
and distinguished affair of recent
times in Lihue was the marriage of
Mr.. Ernest Cropp to Miss Lulu
Weber at the German church on
Thursday evening. Owing to the
unfortunate illness of Rev. Hans
Isenberg the ceremony was perform
ed by Rev. J. NJ Lvdgate. Miss
Silburn Purvis was bridesmaid and
Mr.. Frank Crawford groomsman
with Leilani Rohrig and Clarissa
Coney as flower girls.
THE CHURCH DECORATIONS
The German Lutheran church
lends itself very effectively to dec
oration and the unique and artistic
scheme of floral effects was very
happily carried out The masses Of
feathery pink begoHia that veiled
the octagonal pulpit, and the gen.
erous punches of American Beauty
roses on the altar were particularly
fine, while the masses of feathery
bamboo and.potted palms formed II
cool and rcstful background for the
flowers. These decorations were the
handiwork of Mrs Hans Isenberg
and Mrs. J. l.. Robertson.
THE WEDDING CEREMONY
Promptly at the appointed hour,
8 o'lock, the bride entered and
came up the aisle upon the arm of
her father accompanied b Y the
flower girls to the familiar strains
of the Lohengrin march, while the
minister and tie groom's party
came from the vestry at the rear;
with slow and stately dignity, in
time with the music, they gathered
at the altar; a very effective and
impressive setting. The service was
somewhat after the German form,
simplified, with double rings and a
kneeling finish; and it all went as
smoothly and as gracefully as though
weddings were the daily diet of all
of them. During much of the SER
vice there was soft obligato of
organ accompaniment that added
much to the effect, yet without con-
fusing the service.
AT the close of the ceremony the
bridal party retired TO the vestry
to sign the register, while the audi
ence remained in statu quo to the
strains of the organ interlude until
the return of the party and their
stately exit, the guests all standing.
TIE RECEPTION
Immediately following the SER
vice at the church there was re-

WcBryde Wins Championship

After losing the first game to the
Lihues at the opening of the first
series of the Kauai League the Nc
Brydes spurted up winning h er
eight straight and final game which
decided the championship, from the
Makaweli last Sunday by score of
II to 5. By doing so they have set
a record in the Kauai League for
straight games won.
The McBryde team has played
consistent ball thruout the season
under the able management of j. G.
Moura and the efficient captaincv
of Denichi Sakeuchi who is consid-
cred the peerless short fielder in the
Kauai League. The McBryde team
as whole deserves a heap of Gre
dit for the showing they have made
considering the fact that some of
the players have not participated in
the Kauai League in previous years.
Nobuto Ohama the kid finger of
the McBrydes who has not had any
previous experience on the mound
and who is, by the way, only II
years of age created a sensation and
places him in the first place in the
front ranks.
Eight games won in row for q
youngster who is not out of his
teens is something unique in base
ball in Kauai and is a record for
this island that will undoubtedly
stand for many moon.
The McBrydes were strong both
on the offensive and jim the defen-
sive,. particularly in the latter where
they have done some clever fielding
in the infeld, and their teamwork
was the main factor in capturing
the pennant. Their timely wallops
and clever base-running also were
very much in evidence.
K. Watase, d. Dol and M Per-
reira are three other youngsters who
deserves mention.
Following are the players of the
McBryde team who participated in
the Kauai League.

Booze Goes Up

The new war'taX on liquors has
very promptly worked itself out in
a big raise in prices all along the
line, which took effect in the Homo
lulu saloons last Thursday. | n
many cases the Wholesale prices
have advanced over 1000 and the
wholesalers stand to make tremen-
dous profits as long as the supply
lasts.
1t is said that more men swore
off in Honolulu last Thursday when
the new prices went into effect, than
on any other day in the history Of
the place, Men who for years had
