GOVERNOR ARRIVES,
TOURS THE LANDS,
IS WELL PLEASED

Without demonstration of any
kind Governor Mccarthy arrived on
the Kinau last Friday morning from
Honolulu to make his investigation of
the land situation on Kauai. AS soon
as he could secure car from the
garage he left for Waimea and arriv-
ed there for breakfast.
The Governor was accompanied on
this trip by B. A. Rivenburgh, Land
Commissioner for the Territory and
]. ~ Bailey the Water man of the
Islands. At Waimea the party was
joined by w. V. Hardy, Forest Ran
ger for that section of Kauai and
were taken up the Waimea canyon to
see the Kokee lands at the head of
the canyon.
Governor Mccarthy is making this
inspection trip simply for the pur-
pose of familiarizing himself with all
the land phases of this Island so
that in the future when any question
comes up that he will be able to
have a picture of the land in question
in his minds eye. He has personally
seen all that there is to be seen of the
homestead and water situation, as he
has been on the go from early morn
he would be able to cover it thor
oughly.
The Governor said, 81 am making
this trip especially for my own in
formation, and l will not have time
for any interviews with any one, for
if | stop to talk, / will not have time
to get the information that / want,
and neither will l be able to see all
the lands in question"
Governor Mccarthy is we'll pleased
with all that he has seen and is en-
thusiastic, over the way the Home
steaders have come to the front and
with the looks of the various improv-
ed lands that he saw on the trip. He
is of the opinion that if all the land
that is now open or that VIII be open
ed up in the future is taken by the
same class of people and that if they
work as hard as these people have
worked that the homesteads will
prove to be an unqualified success.
The Governor leaves tonight for
Honolulu and will take part in the
great demonstration that is to be
held there next Saturday in the in
terests of the War Savings Stamp
campaign. He may possibly return
here again in the future and will then
see the various people with whom
he was unable to talk to this time on
has had on the trip.

THE GOSPEL STORY
IS TOLD IN SERIES
OF LIVING PICTURES

The Scripture Tableau Service Civ
en- by the Lihue Union Church on
Sunday evening at the Tip Top was
one of the most original and success.
full things that has yet been given in
this community.
This service grew out of the Sun
day School study of the Gospel of
Mark during the last few months,
with view to impress the lessons
by means of graphic presentation to
the eye such as would have a last
ing image on the mind.
The scenes were carefully worked
out in harmony with the Gospel story
and also in harmony with the GUS
toms and manners of the times; in
all dignity and with all reverence, so
that no violence should be done to
the spirit and tone of the great teach
ing. A great deal of originality and
facility was shown in the costumes,
in which the simplest devises yield
ed the most artistic and pleasing re-
suits.
There were in all about a dozen
scenes, in which some three dozen
characters were representa-. Sever.
al of these scenes were large, and
were effective and impressive be-
cause of their richness and variety;
but some of the smaller ones with
only two or three characters, were
equally charming because Of their
simplicity, and chastened harmony.
In most of the scenes the CEN
tral and dominating figure was Christ
himself, represented most appealing
ly with perfect reverence and charm
ing simplicity and dignity. In fact
throughout the whole performance,
both on the stage and in the audience
quiet, reverential interest held the
attention of everyone.
In few of the scenes the tableau
method of presentation was aband-
oned in favor of simple dramatic ac-
ton; and in Blind Bartimaeus" and
VII lue way W EUllllduS tHe SyIn-
pathetic acting was most effectively
and impressively done;-so much so
that there were furtive tears in many
eyes.
One of the practical difficulties
about tableau entertainments, is the
wait between scenes, but this war
obviated by the scripture readings
descriptive of the scenes, and some
very acceptable singing was furnish
ed by a selected choir. There was
also a choice duet contributed by the
Koloa church.
There was a large and representa-
tive audience, made up of all classes
and races, the aim of the service be-
ing to reach many thus through the
eye who could not readily be reach
ed through the ear, because of the
diversity of teaching and training.

THIS WOMAN DOES NOT BE-
LlEVE IN HOVERIZING
a ON THE HUSBAND QUESTION

The case of Marcelina Made.ias who
is charged with violating the laws of
the territory in having more than one
husband will come up before Judge
Hofgaard in Waimea today.
Sometime ago a Filipino man and
woman came to the Judge and after
presenting a marriage license said
that they had decided to get married.
Judge Hofgaard did the deed. A
short time thereafter another Fill
pino came to the front and showed
certificate of marriage with this
same woman. 1t seems that he mar
ried her in the Philippine Islands and
that she had come to this country
with him. He asked that she be ar
rested and this she was.

H|LO ROUNDS Up
HER IDLERS AND
MAKES THEM WORK

|. The action of the Hilo authorities
in rounding up all idlers and buns
and resulting in a net full of so men
of all nationalities, is a movement, if
directed in the right direction, that
might we'll be emulated on all the
Islands where this kind of gentry are
to be found.
The ultimatum given the men by
Chief of Police Richardson, of Hilo.
was, that if the men had not secured
work within two days, or had left for
other parts, that they would be ar
rested and landed in Jail, charged as
vagrants. Buns and idlers have no
place anywhere in America these
days and should be forced to work.
Chief Richardson probably thought
that he was doing the right thing
in moving these men on to some 9th
er community and in letting the 9TH
er community shoulder the respon-
sibility of having these loafers around.
However, the thing that he should
have done can be best shown by the
example of what the State of Texas
used to do before the war, and l sup
pose that they ere doing the same
now.
When a man was discovered by the
police, who had no visible means of
support, he was promptly sentanced
to three months in the work house,
and while there he was made to work
on the roads or any other work that
was necessary and for this was paid
a minimum wage. No one was ever
heard of who deliberately tried to
get a job in this manner. Conse-
quently the 'iaen who thought that
the world owed them living" gave
Texas a wide beeth in their travels
and Texas has been since then ex-
treemly "bumless."
1t is needless to say that this law
did not affect the legitimate working
men in the state and was only in
tended for, and used against the men
man who is always looking for work
and praying all the time that he will
not find it,"

point and Haney was taken into Gus

Getting Rid of Colds.

The easiest and quickest way to get
rid of a cold is to take Chamberlain 5
Cough Remedy. This preparation has
been in use for many years and its
value fully proven. No matter what
remedy you use, however, care must
be taken not to contract second cold
before you have recovered from the
first one, andIthere is serious danger of
this. A man OF middle age or older
should go to bed and stay in bed until
fully recovered. 1t is better to stay in
bea days at the start than three
weeks later on.

war has come to- be contest of
industry, finance, agriculture,
transportation, shipping n d
every necessary human inter-
prise. Every little farm is food
factory and every store is a war
supply depot. The battle front
in France is no more important

are to win this war we must out
farm the German farmers, out
finance the German banker, out
work the German laborer, and
out-economize the German house
wife, in addition to out-fghting
the German soldier.
/ In armies it is not alone the
bravery of the men that enables
them to stand the shock of bat
tie, but the fear of the bitter
scorn of comrades if they do not
act as becomes soldiers. We
