Government Surveyors
Located at Kapaa

A party of government surveyors,
Tommy Evans, T. B. Buch, formerly
of Kilauea, and c. H. Chung arrived
from Honolulu last Tuesday and are
located at KAPPA.
They are located at Kaapaetaoin 40
They have already started survey
ing the Wailua lands, some 1000 acres
in extent, that are to be cut up in 30
and 35 acre tracts. The work will
take about three months time.
Many people will be glad to hear
of this, as these Wailua lots are es-
pecially fine, being of rich soil and
well watered. The pity is that there
are so few of them. Spped the day
when all government land is home,
steaded and the people have manned
the land as should be, when the pres
ent mills of the island will only be
centrals under government control
the population doubled and fair Kauai
dotted by happy homes, schools and
churches, a dream come true.

K|LAUEA j|TNEY SOCIAL
ONE BIG GRAND SUCCESS
FOR RED CROSS

1t apparently makes no difference
to the people of Kauai whether it
rains or shines, when there is Red
Cross benefit, they go.
This was shown in the Jitney Soc
ial with was held at the residence of
Mr.. and Mrs. Larsen, of the Kilauea
Plantation. A big happy crowd gath
cred from all over the Island and if
smiling faces were an indication that
they were having a good time, then
it was unanimous.
The grounds were beautifully decor
ated with Japanese lanterns and the
rooms with Red Crosses and Flag
shades on the lights put the finishing
touch to the decorations.
A bevy of pretty, young girls, in
Red Cross uniforms presided over the
various and different booths and it
was hard to tell which was patronized
the most. There was punch, ice cream
cigars and cigarettes, cards for those
who did not care to dance, boats on
the river, moving pictures and a fine
Eeach booth did big business and all
combined turned in total gross bus
ines of $23S32 and the best of it all
was the fact that this sum was all

Post Master Santos
Speaks for Red Cross

Mr.. NJ. G. Santos, Postmaster elect
of Lihue, who is in our midst awaiting
his commission, that he may take
charge, has in the meantime gener,
ously given his spare time to the Red
Cross by addressing meetings at Kal.

nesday. Mr.. Santos has rendered val.
liable service by speaking to the Por-
tuguese of these places, dispelling
lingering doubts and by his fervent
and enthusiastic addresses won over
many Portuguese, who otherwise
would not have made contributions to
the good cause. Messrs. Walter Nc
Bryde and ]. |. Silva entertained Mr..
Santos while over there. Mr. Santos
will surely be force for good among
the Portuguese on Kauai and should
have the hearty cooperation and well
come of the whole island.

Comment from Us

Kalahoe, May o, 1918.
Editor, The Garden Island:-
We read your paper day and night
and never fail to get something inter
esting out of its columns. In your is
sue OF last week you strike the nail
on the head when you discussed the
appeal of Mr.. Selwyn Robinson for de-
ferred classification.
l am the father OF eight children
My wife died two months ago. My
older son belongs to Glass IA and is
not too proud to fight the Huns. My
second son has not yet reached his
Goth birthday but is eager to fight for
democracy. There should not be room
on Kauai for those who are to proud
to fight for Old Glory. Mr.. A. Robin
son bases his claim for deferred classi.
fication Off his son on the ground that
his son is the able manager of a ranch
This is a poor excuse as he could find
another man above draft age to man
age his ranch. Appeals for deferred
classification are out of order. The
Robinson case has become a blot to
Kauai. We should have a law to bar
all slackers from the polls on election
day.

Major Clark Walks
Out of Forest

After being missing for two nights
and more than one day Major Clark
and his mechanician stepped out from
the Kaiwiki homestead woods at half
past twelve o'clock yesterday after
noon and reached Hilo in the police
automobile about half past two.
The entire population of Hilo turn
ed out to give them welcome. They
say that those who packed their mach
inc before leaving forgot to put any
chocolate in and consequently they
suffered for provisions. Major Clark
after a nights rest seemed as fresh as
a daisy but his mechanician was con-
siderably exhausted, suffering from
cramps in legs and his stomach is dis
ordered. Neither of them suffered any
bodily injury.

The Red Cross drive has ended
Kauai has Gone over the top once
more.
Coming so soon after the Liberty
Loan drive, the generous manner in
which every body responded, has been
a revelation to the workers in the
drive. 1t would be hard matter to
find a person who has not made a do
nation or signed a pledge. Several
plantations and other large employers
will go 100 per cent
Perhaps the most pleasing thing
about the whole campaign so far as
this island is concerned, is the way in
which the Japanese and Chinese res
idents have responded. Without doubt
95 per cent of the Oriental population
participated in the drive. In most
cases they gave more than was ex-
pected fthem. The writer, in num-
erous cases, in asking a laborer for a
pledge of one per cent of his salary,
which would average about 25 cents
per month, would meet with respon-

AID ORGANIZED
ON BEND ISSUE
All of County Booster Clubs SOIidly
Behind State Hard Roads
Program.

Announcement is made today thai
the Rock Island County Agricultur-
al league, the Chamber of Com
merce of Rock Island, the CONNER
cial club of Moline and the Rock
Island county branch of the state
Council OF Defense are all getting
sohdly behind the state hard roads
program which is to be initiate.
into being by popular vote on Nov.
5.
Every effort is to be made by
these organizations in an endeavor
to bring about a full understanding
of the 10000 good roads bon
issue and to get the vote out in
favor of the proposition.
These organizations which are
! behind the movement intend to
make it understood that no class
OF citizen in Rock Island county
is exempted from the benefits to be
derived by the putting through of
this good roads bond issue They
also expect to drive home to every
individual that failure to turn out
and vote favorable on this propo-
sition is arbitrarily taking a stand
against progress and against the
well being of the entire state of
Illinois and its people.
In a letter which the council of
defense is sending out to its $50 Of
fetal representative in the county.
it is asking their active support OF
the measure It is pointed out that
I this good roads bond issue is a
measure in the interest of the peo-
pie Of Illinois. The farmer. the
banker, the lawyer, the doctor. the
artisan and the la bOrer are all vi
tally affected by this hard roads
question. and its failure of adop-
ton would set back the state of
Illinois for years.
That the workingmen of the state
are in measure realizing the In
| portance of approving the bond is
sue is shown by the action of many
of the most important labor unions.
The bond issue has been endorsed
by vote Of the Illinois State Fedora
ton Of Miners, by the Chicago Fed
Grafton of Labor, the Chicago Typo
gr$~2hical union. the Federations of
Labor in Quincy, Springfield,
Bloomington and many other cities
and by many individual labor or
ganiZatiOn units. Each of these
bodies of organized labor have not
only passed resolutions endorsing
the issue, but have strongly urged

their members to vote yes" on the
proposition at the coming election
on Nov. 5.
Unless a man votes for the bond
issue he is actually voting against
it To win approval, the bond issue
must get the majority of all the
votes cast at the election. Tie
man who goes to the polls at all
and fails to vote yes on the little
ballot is really voting no. A yes
vote for this bond issue Will give
employment TO the thousands OF
young men who return after the
war and to others who are thrown
out of employment during the ad-
justment of transition which viii
take place when the factories which
are now engaged in war work are
readjusted to the manufacture of
what is now termed on-essentials
and staple manufacturing.

4 corOner's jury, at the result Of

Witnesses who testified in the
case were Dr.. J. c. Souders, Frank

was due to q severe fracture on the

A board was produced as evil

Superstition was that as the front

seems to bear out this theory as
