Grove Farm Has
The Model Camp

When DR.. Pratt and d. S. Bowman
on their sanitary inspection tour of
the Island plantation camps came to
the Grove Farm Camp, better known
as Georgetown, they both exclaimed
what model camp" Every house,
yard, both front and back, drains, bath
houses and toilets all clean and neat
to the extreeme.
DR.. Pratt said This camp can cas-
lily be held as the model camp of the
Islands,
Each and every house, both of the
married and single mems quarters
with garden, all looking fine andheal-
thy. no weeds or grass in them, show
an example of food conservation that
speaks for its-self.
The children, those who were too
small to go to school, all with clean
clothes, faces shining with the efforts
of their mother, (and soap and water)
mother looking happy, prosperous and
well content.
But to further the health of his lab
orers, Mr.. Wilcox has not stopped at
giving them clean and sanitary quart
ers but is building for them a play
ground that will be equipped with nn
modern Joy appliances, a club room,
restaurant, store and butcher shop.
When these buildings, which are
now under construction, are finished
he will have one of the finest camps
in all the group of Islands.
The idea of making his laborers
happy. healthy and strong, is a most
commendable one, and if all other
plantation men would do the same.
they would have less labor troubles
and sickness among their laborers.

SWELLS WITH PRIDE

proudly each day from the Court
House in Lihue, and the second,
the Committee sent to the Wal
mea district and now the people
OH the Waimea side look upon
that one from that town.
This is our answer to the world
tha! Kauai is a pro-German Is.
lqnd, aud when the fourth ;oan
rou,s. if it comes if it comes 1t
all, we will have another answer
greater than this one.
The Kauai Chamber of Com
merce, the COmittee they selected
and the many volunteers, all de-
serve a great thanks for the work
which they have done, giving up
their time and money in a way
which show how grateful they are
to have a chance to serve their
country in its time of need.
Henry Mkt and Pablo Manilpit
two young men from Honolulu
came up to help on the Loan Com
mttee, Mr.. Mkt to arouse en-
thusiasm among the Jajanese and
Pablo among the Philippines, but
they reported, "tO sell bond to
these people is the easiest thing
we have ever attempted". 1t was
surprising the amount of bonds
the labOrers bought and how
thrifty they are.
New York can boast of her
population, Pasadena her million

land in the mid-pacific to show
the world what could be done if
it had to and the best of it is,

The Robinson
Draft Appeal

The following article on the Robin
son appeal case appeared in the Adver-
tiser of April 29th
What promises to develope tonight
into a breezy session is the hearing on
low classification on the ground that he
the appeal of the youngest son of
Aubrey Robinson, the Kauai sugar
planter to the Selective Draft District
is a necessary factor in the conduct of
Board, in which the young man seeks a
a necessary industrial enterprise. ]. A.
Balch, chairman of the District Board
says that, if necessary he will have at
least one vote of the board opposed to
that of the majority so that it will
open opportunity for the appeal board
to have members of the young mans
family appear to give testimony con-
corning his insistent desire to get a
low, instead of fighting, classification
in the draft, and will also elicit infor
nation concerning the recent appli
cation at Washington to the President
of similar appeal by the oldest son.
An unusual amount of talent has
been employed in the cases of these two
young men, both unmarried, both of
draft age, both sons of a wealthy
father, both recently out of college,
and with no dependents, to prevent the
selective draft district board from
classifying them in Glass now known
as the lighting class"
Formidable Briefs
An attorney has been employed in
both cases and the briefs in each case
are said to be formidable, and so drawn
out in detail as to make the course of
the board members extremely difficult.
The Robinson brothers are the only
draft-age men in the Territory of Haw-
waii who have appealed to the highest
authority of the Nation. Out of 7l63
young men now placed in Class l, these
are the only ones who have used every
effort to be placed into lower classi-
fication, basing their entire appeal on
the ground that the business into which
their father placed them on Kauai and
Niihau, cannot be properly conducted
unless under their personal manage
ment.
Another View
The district board has the affidavits
of a number of prominent men en-
gagged in similar enterprises to show
that the Robinson enterprise could
easily be managed by others, and that

Red Cross Show A
Tip Top" Success

The Red Cross show at the Tip Top
theatre last Friday evening was a
grand success. Everybody was there,
and everybody thoroughly enjoyed
every minute of it. The performers
did every bit as well, if not better,
than they did at their first perform
ance in Waimea.
Over $500 was taken in and the full
amount turned over to the Lihue Red
Cross. The expenses incurred, such
as transportation, etc, was paid by
certain good people of Waimea.
Having met with such unbounded
success at Waimea and Lihue, it has
been decided to repeat the perform
ance at Eleele Hall next Saturday
evening, May 4th. This will give all
those who were unable to attend the
show at Waimea or Lihue, one more
chance. This performance will also be
in aid of the Red Cross.

With a noise like one of the
famous "French 75's" Kauai went
over the top on the Third Liberty
Loan to the tune of S246, 700.
Kauai with population of ap-
proximately $4,000 and to nearly
tribe her quota, this is record
that will be carried down in the
history of the Islands, or the
world for all that. Our people
can be proud of the fact that they
came as body and said to "Uncle
Sam, you bet we will help you"
Just think for a moment, $780,
700, subscribed from a population
of $4,000. This means that our
pro-rata would be nearly $1,000
for each man, woman and child
on this island. The total number
of subscribers was 3,197, with an
approximate prO-rata of 1922 90
to each subscriber. This we call
a record.
TpO "Honor Flags"
Ii was early in the campaign
when Mr.. Wishard telegraphed to
Honolulu for the first "Honor
Flag" in fact we were the first to
gain that coveted possession in
Hawaii Nei, and hardly had this
arrived when a hurried wire was
sent for another. AS only one had
been sent for each district, they
were in quandry as to what to
do, when somebody thought of the
one which had been sent as a
sample, so up that one came, with
the answer ''if you get another
one, we will have to make it for
you"

Excellent Entertainment
by Y. M. c. A. Boys

To an audience OF about 200 people
last Saturday night in the Lihue Ar
mory, the Laval Philipina Y. NJ. C. A.
Club gave a free entertainment. The
gymnastic work was very good and
some of the work presented was more
than good considering the fact that
club has had no previous experience
or training in this line with the ex-
ception of what they have taught them
selves. They are improving all the
time and if they keep up the good
work they can soon be classed as Al
performers and capable of entertain
ing the public anywhere.
