Registration Result

Four thousand, nine hundred and
ninety-three is the total man power
registration for Kauai. When the
figures come in from Niihau the total
for the County will reach over five
thousand.
At Lihue, where the largest regis
tration took place, six hundred were
registered before noon. The total
registration for Lihue was one thous.
and and five, which is just five more
than Sheriff Rice estimated for this
district.
Due to the large volunteer forces
of registrars and tie previous fore
thought in organizing the work, the
registration of Kauai's man power
operated very smoothly.
At Lihue the expected rush of reg
istrants occurred between 8 and IL
A. NJ. At no time, however, was the
force OF registrars forced to keep the
crowd waiting. There were no long
lines of waiting men, and long hours
of waiting, to tax their patience.
Sheriff Rice had planned the work
previous to the date of registration,
and it is largely due to his foresight
and experience from previous regis
trations that this one operated so
smoothly. His plan, as worked out in
Lihue, employed a separate group of
registrars for the japanese, another
for the Filipinos, and a third for the
Hawaiians and white people.
Due to the segregation of the regis
trants and the services of good in
terpreters, the work was made lighter
all around.
In many parts of the island school
teachers were enlisted as registrars.
1t was largely due to their services
that sufficient number of registrars
were available.

The Koloa Power Plant

The Koloa hydro-electric power
plant in the valley to the left, going
down the Koloa Hill, is now in oper-
alton, having been long delayed for
the coming generator plant machin-
cry. When fully equipped it will de-
velop some $50 horsepower, but at
present owing to the lack of some
transformer equipment, it is only turn
ing out some thirty horsepower. This
is used to light the mill, the camps,
the hospital, etc.
There is general satisfaction on the
part of those who have thus far par
ticipated in the blessing, and a general
desire for an extension of the same.
Ultimately most of the power will
be used for pumping purposes at Ma
haulepu.

A Spider-Web Party

By way of social effort in new
direction the latest is lawn party
for the Portuguese women who have
been working so faithfully for some
months making hospital shirts for the
Red Cross.
Last Friday afternoon these women
of Lihue and Grove Farm, to the
number of twenty or so, were gathered
u by friendly automobiles and con-
veyed to Mrs. Moler's lawn and there
given a most interesting and enjoy
able afternoon.
By way of little educative touch
Miss Elsie Wilcox told them a little
of the aims and purposes of the WV.
CA, and Mrs. Lydgate explained
briefly the importance and value OF
the Hostess House service.
Then followed a joyous period OF
games when they were all thoroughly
children again. The novel game OF
spider web came first with a maze
of variously colored string, hundreds
of feet of it running in every direction
through the trees, and in and out
among the chairs and bushes, and
terminating each one, iii simple
prize; the game being to see who
would get there first, winding the
string up on piece of stick. This
was followed by campaign OF thread
ants held the needles and the Other
set poked the thread through without
steadying the needle. But the game
that took the best, and was the sim
plest was the old fashioned ring OF
the string which ELECTED shouts o.
laughter, and much cunning effort t.

and did much to enhance~the popular

School Notes



The Lihue school banked theil
prizes of last year and are now put
ting the amount into a fine soccer
outfit which will no doubt bring then
right up to the front in that noble
game.
The boys of grades and of the
Lihue school have, of their own in
itiative, formed a School Welfare
Club to promote order, good behav
ior, cleanliness and general improve
ment in the school.
A Junior Red Cross has been or
ganized i'm the Lihue school and more
than one half of the total school ell
rollment has been included in the
same.
Quite extended garden or farming
operations are in progress at the
Lihue High School, with a large part
of the Campus plowed and narrowed
ready for planting. There is every
assurance of fine crops forthcoming
Twenty officers buttons have been
secured by the Lihue school for in
iative and rustic in the matter of dis
posing of Thrift and War Saving
Stamps.
Miss Gustafson of the Kapaa school
who has been sick for some time has
recovered, and is now back on duty,
much to her own satisfaction as well
as that of the school,
Miss Edith Rice has made a very
generous contribution of books to the
Kapaa school,, which will be very
much appreciated and enjoyed by the
children there, who are voracious
readers.
The Kapaa school grounds have
been very much improved by the re
arrangement of some of the buildings
so that there is large open campus
in the middle, fianked by the upwards
of dozen school buildings. The
school cottages for the teachers have
been disposed along the public roat
toward Kealia. Altogether the place
makes quite a village, and a yer,
slightly one.
Most OF the pupils of the Lihue Higl
and Grammar School are now cap
tains, majors or colonels, and there
are even some generals in the bunch
All this means Thrift and War Sav
ings Stamps to a large amount
The Kapaa school has a model ant
original domestic science kitchen ant
cafetaria in process of completion
which will be a marvel of convenienc,
and efficiency. 1t will be equipped t,
put out about 800 lunches a day ant
will be in operation about the middle
of November.

A Strange Customer

The Lihue Store shoe department
is deservedly popular and the service
is most courteous and efficient, and
they undertake to give satisfaction.
But their readiness was taxed beyond
capacity this morning when a COW
walked into the open door, and began
to cast about for something to wear.
Fortunately there was a back entrance
through which the shoe man escaped
The COW didn't wait for his return
but went out as quietly as she had
come in, and no harm was done, Ii
hue is still a rural community.

NOT RESPONSIBLE

The Kapaa school would like to
have it distinctly understood that the
seedy, unkempt tract opposite the
school grounds is a public park and
not school play ground, and that the
school is not in any way responsible
for its neglected condition. 1t is said
that if it was once put into shape the
school would endeavor to keep it so,
or at any rate would give it what
time and attention they could.

NEW METHOD IN CANE PLANTING

DE-. Glaisyer of Kalaheo homesteads
recently tried out a new method in
cane planting. Last spring Dr. Glais,
yer raised three acres of corn on his
homestead. and after the corn had
been harvested, he plowed furrows
between the corn rows. and put in
his cane without any further plowing.
This is a labor saving practice, and
with the existing shortage of labor,
will prove an interesting experiment.
Corn is about a 10 day crop, and If
the land was thoroughly titled before
the corn was planted it would hard y
justify another thorough plowing be-
fore planting the cane. with the pres
ent shortage of labor At present DR..
Glaisyers cane looks splendid.

Housewives Save Sugar

The hotels, restaurants, and board
ing houses of the Territory have now
been placed on ration system as re-
CARDS sugar. They are allowed to
serve but one spoonful of sugar with
each meal.
In our homes, although as yet on
definite ration, we will surely want to
equal this record, and also do as much
as their fellow countrymen in the
States, who are allowed but two
pounds of sugar per person per month.

ON GUARD

At this time Of the year people feel
weak, tired, listless, their blood is thin,
they have lived indoors and perhaps
expended all their mental and bodily
energy and they want to know how to
renew their energy and stamina, over
come headaches and backaches, have
clear eyes, smooth, rudy skin, and
feel the exhilaration of real good health
tingling thru their body. Good, pure,
rich, red blood Is the best insurance
against ills of all kinds: Almost all
diseases come from impure and impov-
erished blood. 1t Is to be noticed in the
pale or pimply face, the tired, haggard
appearance or the listless manner.
Drink hot water half hour before
meals, and for vegetable tonic there's
nothing better than Dr. Pierce's Golden

herbal remedy, which has had such a
fine reputation for fifty years. 1t con-

MAYOR TAKES SCOUT OATH.

An event of unique interest was the
taking Of the oath of the Boy Scouts OF
America by Mayor Hunter, Of Terre
Haute, Ind, as part of his Inaugural
ton ceremony. 1t is undoubtedly the
first time this has been done in the
history Of scouting in the United
States.
This will mean more than mere
curious distinction for Terre Haute.
1t Is part Of the heralding to the
whole land that Terre Haute has shak-
en- off its old mantle. The principles
Of the scouts are universally recog-
nized, and the fact that the incoming
mayor of Terre Haute has pledged
himself officially to these principles
speaks significantly to the world of
what Is to be expected of Terre Haute
from now on.
AS soon as the applause subsidized, a
scout stepped forward and presented
Mayor Hunter with reproduction Of
the Mckenzie statue Of boy scout
as reminder that the boy scouts Of
Terre Haute were always ready at
the mayors service in his efforts for
q new and better Terre Haute.
