Maui Aid Holds
An Interesting
Annual Meeting
Reports OF Treasurer And Secretary
Prove Encouraging
To Workers
COMMITTEE WORK SATISFACTORY

The annual meeting of the Maui
Aid Association was held last Friday
afternoon in Wailuku at the Office of
the Association. There was a large
attendance of members.
The financial report, as submitted
by the Baldwin National Bank, which
had been keeping the books for the
year past, showed balance on hand
at the beginning of the year 1917 of
$4,270.16 and a total of receipts for
the year of S24,27S.63.
The report of Rev. Rowland B.
Dodge, the secretary, of the Maui Aid
Association had been sent to all
members before the meeting, and is
as follows:
Secretary's Report
The inevitable result of the world
war occurred in the fact that our ma
tion entered into the struggle. The
effect was at once seen on Maui of
bringing about the heartiest coopera-
tion with our government of all those
associated in the work of the Maui
Aid Association. Whenever there
was call for service, the people in
all our departments have quickly
responded. The cooperation in the
Red Cross drive helped to make that
a success, and now the same spirit
Is seen in the drive for signers of the
food pledge.
The single department Of the Maui
Aid that is making the best public
showing is the educational work in
American citizenship under the direc-
tion of Mr. Robert A. Judd. There is
an enrolment now Of about 200 men
in the classes, with rs regular teach
ers and income for books above all
other expenses Of travel and salaries
Of teachers of approximately $500
a month. This movement is much
more successful than would seem
possible in so short a time. The
success is along definite lines (D

SEVERE STORM u
STRIKES OVER
THIS ISLAND
Nearly Foot OF Water Falls In
Places In The Course OF
A Few Days
DAMAGE TO ROADS AND CROPS

Beginning last Friday night and con-
tinuing to Wednesday night Maui was
in the grip of an old-fashioned kona.
Saturday, Sunday and Monday rough
seas prevailed, particularly on the
south side Of the island, as the result
OF which the Mauna Kea could not
land either passengers or mail Satur-
day night, taking all on to Hilo while
the Claudine, leaving for Honolulu
Saturday night, had very rough
time of it. The storm was accom-
panied by wind, lightning and heavy
thunder, particularly Saturday night
and to Monday night.
Nearly all Of the roads leading to-
ward the mountains were put out Of
commission temporarily, and there
was serious washout on the road be-
tween Maalaea and Lahaina, near Olo-
walu. The lao valley stream became
a torrent on Sunday, but there was
no damage. There was much damage
to corn in the Haiku and Makawao
districts. The Haiku weather report

GymnaSium-KahuIui
Basketball Series

A splendid game of basket ball was
played at the Kahului Community
House last Friday evening, between
two teams representing Kahului and
Wailuku, respectively. The teams
were evenly matched and the boys on
both teams played good ball. In the
FIRST half the score was a tie. In the
second half the Wailuku boys were in
the lead until near the close.
The last basket, thrown by Johnny
Larsen, of Kahului in the last ten
seconds of play gave Kahului the lead
by one point.
A series of games is being arranged
between the Wailuku Gymnasium
and Kahului There are to be three
teams from each place, classed as A,
b., and c., and the teams of each
class will play three games, making
nine games in all. So far only one
game has been played-that between
the A teams. Last Fridays game
was not counted in the series as the
boys were not all regular C. team
boys.
Mr.. Watt refereed Fridays game
and Mr.. Mowat was umpire. A good
crowd was present to see the game
and heartily cheered the players of
both teams.

At meeting of the Alexander

H. Puck was present for the first
time in his new capacity in the Settle
ment work; and was most warmly
welcomed by the trustees. He will
have charge of the local work of the
Association, while Mr.. Mathews will
look after the extension and garden
work, which is steadily growing in
magnitude. The trustees expressed
themselves as much pleased with the
work that is being done in all de-
partments.
The position of worker among the
young women and girls of the Settle
ment has been offered Miss Cleo Case,
who is attending Mills College at the
Coast. 1t is the earnest hope of the
trustees that Miss Case will accept
this position, which she filled so ad-
mirably last summer. The trustees
authorized Mr.. Mathews to extend
this offer to Miss Case at once in
hope that favorable reply may be at
once received.

The Mass Meeting
Saturday Afternoon
Gathering To Stimulate Interest
Among Men In Food COnser-
vatiOn Work

Rain interfered considerably with
the attendance at the mass meeting
in Kahului Community House Satur-
day afternoon, called to further dis
cuss conservation matters. However,
the program was quite interesting
and it is believed that much good has
been accomplished.
The principal idea of the meeting
was to stimulate interest among the
business men in the conservation
work in hand. To date, the ladies
had led by far in activities, many men
really doing little or nothing to assist
the campaign.
Among the side features was a re-
port from Mr.. Foster, read by Mr..
Bowdish, on the subject of expert
ments in turning out a good quality
of molasses for table use.
The meeting was fortunate in hav-
ing two speakers from Honolulu
Messrs. Richard Ivers and A. Gartley,
of c. Brewer e Company. Local
speakers included G. d. Luflkin, H. B.
Penhallow and DR.. Baldwin, the lat
ter officiating as chairman.
The net result Of the meeting was
a resolve on the part of all the men
present to get in and do their "bit"
for the conservation campaign.

HAROLD RICE Is
MAKING SUCCESS
OF FAIR DRIVE
Starts Whirlwind Of Enthusiasm
Among Stock Ranchers And
Small Farmers
MAUI TO MAKE FINE SHOWING

Harold w. Rice, fair commissioner,
since his return from Honolulu last
week has been busy stirring up en-
thusiasm in the Territorial project
which will take place at Honolulu in
June. Being most largely interested
in live stock, he started out first
with the stock men and has met with
success at every hand. All of the
ranchers have agreed to go in big on
the proposition, with the result that
it is already next to certain that eth
er of the other islands will have to
"go some" to beat the showing of
Maui. Mr.. Rice feels that the promi-
nence given the subject of meat by
the war gives stock-raising unusual
importance now, and that now is the
time for developing interest in the
improvement of herd strains. This
idea appeals with force to other
ranchers of Maui.
While most of the work thus far
has been among the stock men, Mr..

Aviator Clark Is
Coming To Kahului

The Advertiser Of Wednesday con-
tanned the following concerning the
purposed flight of Aviator Clark to
Maui:
Completing at least two flights this
week, weather permitting, one on
Washington's Birthday and the other
on Saturday over Kapiolani Park,
Maj. Harold M. Clark, U. S. A, avia
ton officer, will arrange to go by
steamer to Maui and Hawaii, looking
over sites for landing" In his sea-
plane, in order that he may commence
inter-channel flights.
Major Clark expects to plane down
upon Kahului harbor, on Maui, be-
cause the harbor is practically pro
tected by a breakwater.
He says that there appears to be a
feasible landing place there, and in
making the flight to and from the
Valley Isle, he will probably make a
sufficient detour fly over the Leper
Settlement on Molokai, and give the
inmates of that isolated section the
sight of their lives.
At Hilo 1t is expected that his land
ing will be made in Hilo Bay. or In
Kuhio Bay which is protected by a
breakwater.
On the day when Major Clark made
his two flights over Honolulu-the day
he dropped down to oHnolulu harbor
he was up about two hours, and
says that in much less than this time
he could make a flight across the
channel TO Kahului.
On that same day he few over more
territory over this island than ever
before and looked down into many
valleys upon sharp ridges, and tow
ering peaks. and on his way back to
Pearl Harbor flew directly over Fort
Shafter.

Aala Park Selected
For Fair Purposes
Committee SHES At Expense Of Pro-
position On The Irwin Site
Closer In Town
Especial Correspondence

Honolulu, February 20-The first
territorial fair will be held at Aala
Park. The boad of supervisors on
Tuesday evening granted permission
for its use after the fair commission
had found that the site originally con-
templated, the federal building prop
erty on King street opposite the capi-
tai grounds. would be impracticable
for the purpose.
The building committee, appointed
to plan and erect the necessary
structures for exhibits, estimated
that vast quantity of roofing and
flooring, costing fully $4,000, would
be required II the so-called Irwin site,
on which the old Hawaiian Opera
House formerly was located, were to
be used. This made the site impos-
iible, since the commission has a ter
ritorial appropriation Of only $4,000 to
cover all preliminary cost Of the fair.
Though the Irwin site offered an eX-
cellent central location, almost in the
heart OF the city, with what seemed
ample space for all exhibits, special
features, amusement concessions and
the like, the ground is bare and soft.
The livestock parades and the
thousands of people moving through
the ground would grind the earth
into deep dust, which would be-
come a Quagmire in event OF rain.
To obviate this Objectionable con-
dition the area would have to be
covered by plank flooring or treated
to a costly road-making process. The
building committee believed it would
be necessary to cover the entire area
