While the American soldiers in the

Thousands of fy-catchers are being

first batch of them were sent today
to Atlanta, for distribution among the

A. r. c., 1861 splendidly made Proper
ty Bags, last Friday, which were ship

These bags are made of bright
colored washable material and are
used by men in the hospitals to store
their personal belongings in during
their stay. When the men leave they
generally take the bags with them SO
there is continual demand for this
article.
One of Kauai's teachers has broth
er in France who has written her that
his little property bag has been a
great pleasure to him.

FIRST REGULAR MEETING
Of M0NHANA CLUB

The first regular meeting of the
Mokihana Club for the new year or
Wednesday was one of the largest in
the history of that organization, there
being over one hundred present. The
new officers were in their places, Mrs
Swan, president; Mrs. w. H. Rice ,Jr
vice.president; Mrs. Mesick, secretary
and Miss Fisher, treasurer.
After the transaction of the bust.
ness of the day the president intro.
duced Miss Channan, secretary os the
of her trip to the Coast since she was
last on Kauai, and in connection with
that trip she had been able to secure
the very valuable services of two wo
men who occupied very responsible
places of trust and opportunity on the
Mainland, in connection with Y. w.
C. A. work She then introduced Mrs.
Maddox, who has been for some time
in charge Of the Hostess House at
Fremont, near San Francisco
Mrs. Maddox is evidently a woman
Of superior education and culture
with very attractive personality
which wins ner audience at the very
outset and holds it to the end. She
talked very entertainingly of her work
and experiences, and of the great
need there is for these Hostess Houses
in the cantonments, and of the bless
ing they are to all whom they serve.
at is perfectly natural and proper, "
she declared, for women to want to
see and be near their men folks dur.
ing the comparatively long period of
their training before they are sent
over seas. But the problem was just
how to give them this privilege with
out, at the same time, exposing them
to grave danger, and the development
of serious evils. These cantonments
in many cases are miles away from
anywhere, so that there are no hotels
or bording places where transient
visitors may stay. A woman,-mother
sister, wife or fiancee arrives, it may
be in the middle of the night
in search of the man in whom
she is particularly interested. She
knows his name and that is about all.
Just how to find him, and where to
find him, and where to stay while she
finds him,-this she does not know.
Now, the Hostess House meets and
solves this problem for her. Here
these women are taken in, cared for
and helped in every possible way to
the realization of their desires. The
Mr.. Peter Jones whom she wants to
see is speedily located and brought to
the house whose great reception room,
one quiet corner of it is placed at
their disposal, and for the time, short
or long, that she remains at the can
tonment, everything is done to pro-
| tect her and make her stay comforta.

McCANDLESS

McCandless Ietched up at Haena
while it was still early Friday morn
ing, and addressed a small crowd
there endeavoring to plant some seed
which would not be snapped up by the
black-winged birds of the enemy
From here he returned to Hanalei
where he rounded up a open air audi
ence about noon. In the evening he
spoke at Kapaa to fairly good sized
crowd and with pretty fair success.
Saturday afternoon he was at Kekaha,
and Saturday night he had an open
air meeting on the little Court House
square at Waimea, with a very good
audience.
Sunday evening he devoted to Koloa
with meeting in the hall with pret-
ty fair crowd. Monday evening he
was at the Tip Top in Lihue. This
latter is described as quite spicy
meeting that none should have missed,
in which McCandless dealt out some
righteous dues to his enemies and
set them straight in some matters
concerning which they had been
wandering in the unfortunately
there was only small crowd to hear
it.
All along the line he justified the
quality of his patriotism, as evidenced
by the purchase of Liberty Bonds, Red
Cross contributions, etc, and made
lavish promises of what he could do,
and would do for Hawaii at Washing
ton in connection with a Democratic
administration.
Link" McCandless speaks Hawaii
an very well, and understands Hawaii
an character even better, and because
of this the Hawaiians take to him very
cordially, but that doesn't mean much
when it comes to votes. Accordingly
the outlook is that the Prince will
hold his own, assuredly in the outer
districts and come out ahead as usual,

Y. W. c. A. Talks

In addition to the addresses at the
Mokihana meeting there was a public
meeting at the Lihue Union Church
HThursday evening to which men were
specially invited, and at which there
was a good audience of high class, in
telligent people There was some
excellent congregational singing led
by Mrs. w. II. Rice, after which, on
the introduction of Miss Channon,
Miss Bentley spoke very attractively
along the same lines that she had
opened up at the Mokihana meeting.
At Waimea on Friday evening the
Y. w. c. A. program superseded that
of the Waimea Literary Society, Mrs.
Maddox acting as the main speaker
and giving a very graphic and inspir.
ing account of the work of the organi-
zation, with perhaps special emphasis
an the Hostess House side of it, with
which Mrs. Maddox is specially fami
liar.
1t was considered a rare and inspir-
ing treat by the Waimea people.
During their brief stay in Waimea
Mrs. Maddox and Miss Bentley were
the guests of Mrs. A. S. Knudsen at
her Waiawa home, and Miss Channon
was the guest of Mrs. Brandt. They
returned to Lihue Saturday morning

Burglary at Hanamaulu

Some time during the night between
Monday and Tuesday last, burglars
gained an entrance to the Hanamaulu
Store by SIN shing in one Of the front
windows. Among the articles stolen
were two ladies gold watches, lot Of
smoking matter and some shoe polish.
No clue to the perpetrators has so
far been found, but the police are on
the trail. confident of landing their
men shortly.
The stealing of the shoe polish per-
haps accounts for the diligence with
which the police is eagerly scanning
the shoes of each passing Filipino, to
see whether an extra gloss has been
applied to the coverings of their neither
extremities.
