Change in Organization
of Local Red Cross

Mrs. c. 4. Rice has lust received
notification of the transfer Of the
Islands Of Maui and Kauai to the
jurisdiction Of the Honolulu chap
ter. This is in the interest of uni
formity and efficiency and means,
that henceforth reports, member
ships, funds and finished work will
be sent to Honolulu instead of To.
Washington.
The Island of Kauai. working to-
gether as a whole, will now consti-
tute an auxiliary consisting of vari-
Gus units made up in the different
districts
The change of organization is one
which meets with the entire ap-
proval of the local Red Cross Lead
ers, and is what they have long felt
must ultimately come.

Chicken Thieves

A quartet of thieves invaded
Kipukai on Friday last armed with
a gun and started execution among
a flock of chickens belonging to
Hon. w. Hyde Rice. After eight
chickens had been downed the in
vaders were nabbed and brought to
Lihue, where their case came up
before Judge Hjorth on Saturday.
Joe Alexandra, Portuguese, and
an old offender just out of Jail was
given the limit of one year in the
calabose; Jose Akaba, Filipino, drew
a three months sentence in which
TO think over his shortcomings and
one other Filipino was discharged !.
Felix Fernandez, the remaining de-
fendent, thought he saw loophole
thru which he might escape and
engaged Attorney A. G. Kaulukou
to defend him, the case being post
poned uutil Monday.
Monday when the case was called
Felix still was without loophole
and had to take his medicine, 3
months. His plea of being guards
man was ignored by his Honor,
who casually remarked, that being
the case, would be all the more rea-
son for severe punishment being
meted out.
The foul murdered chickens were
of the very finest breed, one rooster
alone having cost $3.50, hence the
stiff sentences.
The unfortunate birds have been
deposited in cold storage for dispos-
al.

Garden Hints

A talk by Mr. Leslie Clark gave
valuable suggestions to would be
gardners, many of which will be Of
great benefit if carried out in the
school gardens.
His advice was to avoid turning
up the sub-soil which is found from
four to twelve inches beneath the
surface clay, to prepare a good tilth
by not digging when too wet and
thus to avoid ''puddling"; to plant
corn. i'll square patches to insure
better pollination by the wind and
to avoid deep cultivation when the
roots are well developed. He en-
phasized the importance of the rota-
tion of crops, using less mineral
fertilizer and saving weeds to make
compost heaps, this being almost as
valuable as the use of stable manure.
Sweet potato slips planted at the
middle instead of the ends will pro-
duce more and rounder and less
