Help the Hawaiian Women

Are you patriotic? And do you love
to listen to the plaintive melodies of
old-time Hawaiian tunes and meles?
Some of the Hawaiian maids and ma.
irons can Groom a lullaby, or cause
you to swing and sway in rhythm
with the twanging of the steel guitar.
The peculiar plant of the ukulele will
haunt you till the end. If you love
sweet music, go to hear the Hawaiians
at Waimea on Saturday the thirteenth.
Your money will be used with which
to buy the material for loving hands
to weave into comforts for the sick,
the wounded and the dying on the far
flung battle lines of Europe Spend
the dollar gladly. When a Hawaiian
woman sews in order to help some one
who is in pain or pilikia, she puts love
in every stitch. Help to buy the yarn
and the cloth that she may send her
aloha to the weary ones afar, who
will bless her and you in their prayers.

County Building in Lihue, for the pur-
pose of organizing the Third Liberty
Loan campaign, and for the transact
ion of such other business as may

attend this meeting. and offer such
suggestions and help as may seem
advisable. The Liberty Loan is mat
ter which affects the people as a
whole. The Chamber of Commerce
is willing to offer such aid as 1t may

matter, and that all the people are ex-
pected to take part in the drive.

All Seem Satisfied

The new steamer schedule seems to
give universal satisfaction. Arthur
Buchholtz, manager of the Koloa
Plantation Store, says: Yes, that
seems fair to me. Two steamers on
this side, and two on the other side
will give us mail four times a week.
That's good enough. remember
when we got but one steamer a month.
1t seems very advantageous, this new
schedule"
Says Manual R. Jardin, of Kalaheo:
Yes, " don't see but what the new
schedule is all right. 1t seems to me
that it ought to be satisfactory to
everybody"
Karl Roendahl, manager of McBry de
Store at Eleele, says: 1T looks to me
like it ought to satisfy everybody. |
am not quite clear yet as to tho Mauna
Loa, but it matters little. We get
will get good service"
j. l. Silva, Of the Eleele general
merchandise store, said: yes, it
| seems to be all right. | have not had
| time to study the new time table
much yet, but it seems to give us all
square deal"
There are no better kokuas on earth
| than the Hawaiian women. They are
generous, good hearted, and willing to
| sacrifice for any one who is in need
| no matter of what nationality. The
| Hawaiian women of Waimea have
| formed a section of the Western unit
of the Red Cross on Kauai, and have
| been active in promoting Red Cross
work, as we'll as in endeavoring to
relieve distress wherever found.
The society is known as Hui Kea
| Ulaula ma MakuahineA Hawaii o
| Waimea," which means the Red Cross
Society of the Mothers of Hawaii and
| Waimea.
The society is now planning t. give
a real Hawaiian concert at Waimea
Hall on Saturday, the 18th, at which
many of the d.time meles and melo-
are skilled in that line. Some of their
songs are very plaintive, and very
beautiful and there are a number of
fine singers in the Waimea district.
The tickets will cost one dollar for
a reserved seat and fifty cents for
| general admission. The net income
will be entirely devoted to the inter-
ests OF the Red Cross, and 1t is hoped
that the noble efforts being put forth
by these loyal Hawaiian women will
| be encouraged by every person who
can possibly attend or pay for tickets
! for others. Thus an opportunity will
not only be presented to hear real
| genuine Hawaiian music, but at the
same time help the government and
! bring comfort to our brave boys who
are fighting for us over in France.
Remember the date, and plan TO go to
the Red Cross concert at Waimea on
! the evening of the 18th.

New Circuit Judge Maybe

The Honolulu papers intimate that
Assistant District Attorney Banks of
Honolulu is seeking to be appointed
Judge of the Fifth Circuit Court at
Lihue, the position now held by Judge
Dickey. Judge Dickey, when inter-
viewed concerning the matter said he
had no remarks to offer. That he had
been appointed in 1912, for a four year
term, and that his term had expired
more than a year ago.
When asked whether he expected
to practice law here or elsewhere in
case he was displaced, he said he had
made no arrangements, and would
make none, unless he should be dis
placed
Judge Dickey was born and reared
on Maui. He was educated in the ISL
ands, and then took a years course in
the Chicago College of Law. He sub
sequently took year at the Yale Law
School, at New Haven, Connecticut,
after which he practiced law in Chi
cago two years. The lure of the isl
ands called him back however, and
he returned to Honolulu, where he
began to practice, but was in 1912
appointed Judge of the Circuit Court
at Lihue.
Judge Dickey has been a satisfac-
tory Judge, and as a citizen has al
ways taken a prominent part in all
activities looking to the welfare of the
island, and has been prominent in
church work, and in all lines OF public
welfare,

Ex-Gov. Carter Coming

Hon. George r. Carter is expected
to arrive on Kauai tomorrow morn
ing, to open a Red Cross campaign.
Mr. Carter has always been a leader
Of men, and has been in public life for
many years. He is probably one of
the most successful campaigners Ha-
waii has ever known. He is probably
one of the best Red Cross boomers the
United States can boast of. His whole
soul seems to be in the work, and he
puts an energy into it that very few
have at their command. either for that
or any other public cause.
Mr. Carter says: Next to wearing
Uncle Sans uniform, | find the best
thing is to work for the Red Cross.
Nothing gives me more exhiliration,
nothing feeds my soul better"
Mr.. Carter has been promoting Red
Cross activities on Hawaii and Maui,
and our exchanges speak very highly
of his efforts.
Mr.. Carter expects to arrive on
Kauai tomorrow, Wednesday. Wal
ter McBryde has beeu appointed as
manager of the campaign. He has
appointed committees and sub-com-
mittees, mad has formulated the fol-
lowing itinerary, which, however. it
may be necessary to change in some
minor particulars.
This, it should be understood is a
preliminary visit by Mr.. Carter, for
the purpose of meeting the various
committees and Red Cross workers,
and making preparations for the cam.
paign, which will open on May 9Th,
and end on May 18th.
Mr.. Carter's itinerary for his pre-
liminary visit is as follows, subject
to minor changes:
Mr.. Carter arrives on Kauai We'd
nesday morning. On Wednesday af-
ternoon will meet the Red Cross work
ers at Kealia.
Wednesday evening he will show
some war films at Kealia.
Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock, he
will meet teh Red Cross workers and
general public at Hanalei, and at 1880
p. m. he will meetn the workers and
citizens at Kilauea.
Friday afternoon, at 4 O'Clock, he
will meet the Red Cross workers and
the general public at the Armory, in
Lihue, and in the evening he will show
the war films at the Tip Top theater.

Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock he
will meet Red Cross workers at KolOa.
Mr.. Carter viii be accompanied by
Mr.. Rath of the Palama Settlement,
who is said to be one of Honolnlu's s
best drive-organizers.
1t is said that the war films are of
intense interest. 1t takes an hour to
run them, and they have been well
received everywhere. These will be
shown for the benefit of the Red
Cross work, and the admission on the
other islands has been fifty cents, or
a dollar for reserved seats. The films
are the last word on the war, and the
best pictures that have reached US
from the scene of the great battle,
field of Europe.
Maui and Hawaii have made some
very large individual contributions,
and Kauai hopes to make as good a
showing. Small, individual subcrip,
tions will especially be asked for.
