eggs unless they are cooked as small
omelets, for too large one is apt to
be tough and either under or over
done. Four eggs makes a good-sized
omelet to be successful.

three tablespoonfuls of water, a pinch
of salt and a dash Of pepper to the

cheese. Remove when the cheese Is
melted and sprinkle with finely minced
parsley.
Celery omeIet-Beat the yolks Of

and pepper to season. Fold in the
well beaten whites of the eggs, cook
in a hot buttered pan until lightly
Drowned underneath, then place In the
oven to finish on top. Fold and turn

sauce may be served with this, mak1ng
a most satisfactory luncheon dish.

RED CROSS ACTIVITY
At WA|MEA

The good work so auspiciously
begun by Mrs. Eric Knudsen for
the benefit of the American Red
Cross, has fallen. in her absence, for
the Summer in the mountains, to
the no less efficient leadership of
Mrs. G. B. Hofgaard who has taken
hold of it with characteristic enthu-
siasm.
To provide the necessary supplies
for the conduct of the work she
gave knitting card party on July
Bird. at her home, Paowini, in which
some % ladies participated at 25cts
apiece. 1t is hard to say which was
the most popular, the cards or the
knitting; there was great activity
in both lines.
From now on there will be regular
weekly meetings for Red Cross work
at Paowini on Friday afternoon at
3 p. m. and all ladies who will help
in the good work are cordially in
vited to come.

A Stimulating Program

1t was a very fitting choice that
made Mr.. Fred Patterson, president
of the Chamber of Commerce, the
distinctively popular speaker on the
Fourth of July program. Better
than anyone else, locally, he repre-
sents the spirit and endowment OF
the traditional Fourth of July ora
tor; and better perhaps than any
one else here could, he stirred the
enthusiasm and admiration of the
audience by his spirited address. II
was a democratic occasion; he evil
IDENTIFY sized up his audience, and
went for them" as whole.
Mr.. l.. r. Killam, who followed
later in the program, made a very
sane and sensible address of the
thoughtful and suggestive kind that
stirred the intellect rather than the
emotions; one that almost any man
might carry home and digest with
profit. 1t was the kind of thing
that would appeal to the more in
telligentand discriminating listener,
and with such he found a very ap-
preciative and responsive hearing.
The reading of the Declaration
of independence by d. Takeuchi
was clear, sonorous and forcible;-
remarkably well done considering
that it was a foreign language to
the reader, and rather difficult read
ing which would have taxed the
skill of any of us.
The remarks by w. Watada were
sensible, intelligent and modest,
and were very well put. How many
of our own young men, just out of
school, could have done any better,
even in their own language to say
nothing of what. they could do in a
foreign one?
Mr.. Brandt, as always, presided
with a dignity and grace becoming
the occasion; his brief words of in
PRODUCTION gave the right key to the
whole program.

TAG DAY A
NEW EXPERIENCE

Tag Day is a new experience for
Kauai, and as an occasional event
it is not a bad idea.
AT an early hour a couple of doz-
EN- or so of the leading ladies of Lii
hue rounded up at the Red Cross
Headquarters for final instructions
from the president, MISC. A. Rice,
and having received their tags they
set out for the days campaign.
The normal prize was the Dollar
member, - some few landed s25
members, and some very few are
said to have secured 500 members.
When, after diligent effort, the
dollar wasn't forthcoming the de-
mand dropped down through vari-
Gus stages until in many cases it
fetched up rather ingloriously at 10
cents.
Over and over again, with smil-
ing geniality, the fair solicitors re-
turned to the charge, advising, ad-
iuring. beseeching the hard hearted
Oriental or Portuguese, in the suit
able brand of Pigeon English, to
contribute his bit and take his tag
Generally he succumbed, -petu-
lently sometimes, bat mostly with
the good grace of the man who is
being fleeced and hattered at the
same time.
Mostly, everyone entered into the
spirit, of the occasion and got their
moneys worth out of the experience;
but some few wore a sour look all
day as though the whole affair dis
agreed with them.
Some craftily hid their tags away
out of sight and allowed themselves
to be labored with, at great length,
and then smilingly, producted them
to the confusion of the solicitor.
1t was day for kids" on both
sides of the line, and many people
will remember it as q unique cx-
perience.

A Perilous Adventure

A water buffalo, ordinarily>is the
sleepiest and logiest animal that
waddles the earth, - too slow to
switch the flies off. But not always.
A friend of ours ran across one the
other day that was different; he
was game for anything that was 60
ing.
In-securely tethered and resent
ing intrusion i n his hono-hono
swamp the great big beast, fiery
eyed and snorting like chimera,
took after his visitor at close range,
broke away from his tether and was
coming like vision of sudden
death. Flight is the only thing in
a case like that; but flight in deep
hono-hono swamp is out of the
question; our friend tried it; one
lunge and down he went ,on all fours,
into the mud, with the resigned as
surance of immediate destrution.
This tumble, however, so upset the
buffalo,s program that he fetched up
standing, smelled his fallen victim
and turned snorting away. The
victim, needless to say, has now a
very large respect for the water buf-
falo and will treat him, henceforth,
with respectful and distant courtesy

AM-Students Take
Away the Odd Game

Kauai likes baseball. This fact
was again demonstrated on July
4th, when the biggest crowd ever
assembled in Lihue Park gathered
to witness the games between the
All-Students, of Honolulu, and the
All-Portuguese, of Kauai, in the
forenoon, and the All-Students and
All-Kauai's in the afternoon. There
were in the neighborhood of two
hundred and fifty automobiles
parked within the grounds.
The visiting All-Students broke
even on the days games, winning
the morning game from the P. A. G.
6 to 1 and losing to the All-Kauai
team 5 to 6.
In the game with the Kauai High
school on Thursday afternoon the
visitors again demonstrated their
superiority by winning 6 to 3. This
was the fastest game of the series
and was any body's game up to the

Clapper's BIRD anniversary.
Miss Mary Christopherson, prin-
cipal of the Hanalei School left for
Town by the Kinau Saturday. She
will return to take up her work in
the same capacity in the Fall.
The Mauna Loa did not leave last
week until Saturday morning in
stead of Friday night as usual. An
unusual amount of incoming freight
and outgoing sugar was the cause
of the delay.
Mr.. K. G. Hopper and his daugh-
ter Miss Thelma Hopper went to
Town today by the Mauna Loa.
The former will return in a few
days, but the latter will remain
some weeks.
The music at the Lihue Union

A Happy Day In Sight

We rejoice in the official assur-
ance that the reconstruction and
macadamizing of the belt road will
be finished by the Is of August.
This will give us a fine hard,
smooth road, barring a few places
that are badly pitted, > from Wal
ava to Wahiha; practically round
the Island.
This is blessing that no other
Island enjoys, or anywhere near
enjoys, and we have every reason to
by very appreciative and very CRATE
full.
Our sister Islands will no doubt
Immediately begin to discount and
discredit our satisfaction and sug-
gest various reasons why we need
not be unduly set up' over oul
accomplishment; that we have got
only a small bit of an Island; and
only one road, very narrow and
very shallow; and that it doesn't
go much more than half way round
anyway, etc. etc.
To all of which we would say
We've got our road and are enjoy
ing it; you can go ahead and talk
if you want to, but we would adj
wise you to put your energy onto
your own roads,

Meeting or The Supervisors

Because of the Fourth of July on
Wednesday the Supervisors met on
Monday, 1t was sort of double
barreled meeting, the final session
of the outgoing Board and the in
augural session of the incoming one.
In addition to the usual routine
of business there were one or
two items of special importance.
One was the Inauguration of an au-
tomobile Inspector, who will, if he
does his duty, see to ii that auto
mobiles conform to the law in such
matters as lights, brakes, speed,
etc.
Another matter of interest, at
least to those concerned, was raise
in the pay of the police force of
$500 a month per man. We hope
that this will give them an increas-
ed interest in their work, and
among other things enable them to
keep loose stock off the roads, where
they do not belong, and where they
are a source of great danger to the
travelling public. With this under
standing we congratulate them.
The Garden Island. [volume] (Lihue, Kauai, H.T.) 1902-current, 1917-07-10
The Reason Why

A word of explanation is in order
in regard to the Fourth of July pro-
gram at the Tip Top. Arranged in
the first instance by the japanese
young men it was finally taken over
in the interests of the general pub
lie and the young men found them
selves kind of swept away in the
current of their own affair. This
will explain the somewhat Oriental
flavor of the program as well as its
impromptu character 1t was, how
ever, a good start in the right direc-
ton.
