days. Following the death of his par

Mkt attended the local public schools,
later entering st. Louis college where
he was graduated with the class of

A three years course in law at Chat

pleted the scholastic training OF young

a career.
His first position was in the legal

County Liquor
Commissioner Meet

The County Board of Liquor Com
missioners met last Thursday morn
ing to decide whether any more lic-
enses to sell liquor on the Island of
Kauai would be granted.
The following resolution was ad-
Opted
Whereas the use of intoxicating
liquor has been recognized by the
President and Congress of the United
States as being detrimental to the
health, welfare and discipline of the
military forces of the United States,
and it is believed by this Board that it
should be the policy and patriotic duty
of civilians to act in accordance with
the views and policy of the military
authorities for the duration of the
war:
And Whereas: it is undoubtedly the
wish and policy of the great majority
of the people of this Island that the
sale of intoxicating liquors be pro-
hibited during the continuation of the
war:
And Whereas: the County of Kauai,
Territory of Hawaii does at this time
license certain saloons or liquor es-
adjustments wherein intoxicating
liquors are sold;
Now Therefore Be 1t Resolved, by
the Board of License Commissioners
in and for the County of Kauai, Ter
ritory of Hawaii that, at least for the
duration of the war, 1t is and will be
the official duty of such Board to re-
fuse to grant or renew any license for
the sale of intoxicating liquors from
and after the 30th day of June 1913,
until the expiration of the war.
In the case of j. X. Cockett of Kaloa
whose license was dated for the year
of 1918 motion was made to this ef-
feet:
| move that the liquor license here
tofore issued to ]. X. Cockett, of Kaloa
County of Kauai, Territory of Hawaii
by this Board for the year 1918 be re-
voked and cancelled so far as it is ef
fective to license the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors on and after June 30th
1918. This motion was approved.
The Board of Commissioners then
donated their transportation money
to the Red Cross. Also Mr.. Patterson
who was retained by the Board as
Legal Advisor, donated his retaining
fee
The milage and fee amounted to
$3.50, which was turned over to the
Red Cross.

National Guard Boys
Show Improvement

Company tx" of Kauai's National
Guard had drill at the Lihue Armory
last Sunday morning. Almost all
members were present and some of
the very latest maneuvors were exc
cuted. All the latest bayOnet exer-
cises were used and while this com
pany is not the. best in the outfit they
are showing a decided improvement
in their work.
While they drill only two times a
week, there are many who can come
only once and some not that as they
are working in the mills on drill night
Valentine Cabacha who has just re
turned from training camp is teaching
them the latest drills and bayonet
exercises and shortly they will have
trench warfare and grenade work
Company TX" hopes to go for a
short encampment soon. Everything
has been arranged and as soon as
work permits they will go.
The guard on this Island has about
500 men on its roster, and while this
is not full war strength it is being re
cruited as fast as possible, and as the
guard expects to be called out soon
this fact helps in this line.
Practically everything has arrived
for the target range and work will
start on this in the very near future
