Pears all the Year Round

Haley, the Honolulu tree man,
promises avocado pears any month
in the year and all the rear round. 1t
is only a matter of having the right
kind of tree. 1t seems they can turn
them out now, budded stock, set like
an alarm clock for any particular
season of the year, and when yon have
got four or five of those timed trees,
to go off in succession, you are fixed
for pear cocktails and pear salad just
to suit yourself. Pela Paha!

TENNIS CLUB Up,
AND COMING

At meeting of the Lihue Tennis
Club held last Friday evening at the
Lihue Social Hall, it was decided that
the club hold a series of tournaments,
beginning with a round robin for
gentlemen and one for ladies'. After
the round robins are played, ladies
and gents singles will occupy the
courts, followed by doubles and mixed
doubles tournaments.
Mrs Hans Isenberg has kindly offer
ed two rackets as prizes for one of the
tournaments. Other prizes will prob
ably be forthcoming by the time they
are needed.
DR.. E. N. Young and J. O. Warner
were appointed a committee to take
charge of the tournaments with in
structions to get play under way with
as little delay as possible.
1t has been felt for some time that
the Club should branch out and cover
bowling, swimming, the promotion of
baseball and kindred sports, as we'll
as social events all of which will tend
to make the community life more in.
teresting and enjoyable.
Mr.. r. ID. Moler, manager of Lihue
Plantation, has expressed himself as
heartily in favor of such a move and
says he will lend all possible aid to
the project. 1t is believed that Grove
Farm and Lihue Ranch will also
heartily support the movement.
To get the project under way with
as little loss of time as possible, Pres
ident X. G. Hopper appointed the fol
lowing committee to take up the mat
ter and to report at meeting called
for next Friday evening at the Bowl
ing Alley, at 1880 o'clock: DR.. E. N
Young, chairman R. D. Moler, of Lii
hue Plantation; Chas. A. Rice, of Lii
hue Ranch; Chas. H. Wilcox, of Grove
Farm Plantation, and E. H. Wood
representing the Independent interests
of the district.
The possibilities connected with ar
organization of this character are
many, and if given the proper support
and encouragement will be far-reach
ing and of vast benefit to the com
munity.

SCHOOL BASEBALL
WARMING Up

The interscholastic baseball SER
les has been resumed with Il ven
geanGe since the recess enforced
by the flu for several weeks. The
past week has seen four more
games knocked off the schedule as
follows: On Wednesday, Maka-
well met the Eleele nine on the
latter's diamond. This game was
distinguished for its clean, good
sportsmanship and exciting tying
of the score in the sixth and min
tn innings. In the tenth inning
with the score &c, Makaweli made
a sudden squirt and showed over
Z more runs before the home team
could stop them. The latter fail
ing to score in the final swing left
the score 1876 in favor of Maka-
well.
On Thursday Lihue grammar
made salient on Kapaa and
came home with Il victory song to
the tune of II 6. Kapaa played
well however and showed them
selves to be thoroughly good
sports. The Lihue teachers and
other visitors were pleasantly
served at tea following the game
in Mrs. Burke's cottage.
Friday was the day on which
Makaweli went down to defeat in
their turn before the onslaughts
of the KOlOa sluggers at KOloa. In
the fifth inning Makaweli led in
a score of 7-6. After that there
was much excitement in a hit and
run affair on both sides until the
score keepers were tired of count
ing. The game ended after an eX.
citing ninth during which KolOa
Cutd.stanced the visitors and the
final score was 1925 in KOlOa's 5
favor. Thus we have a triangle
tie-up with Eleele having beaten
KOlOa, Makaweli having beaten
Eleele, and KolOa having beaten
MakawCh.
Saturday afternoon Eleele visit
ed Lihue and played a game on
the public diamond. The game
started out closely enough but
gradually Lihue walked away
from the visitors to the extent OF
1873, which was the final score
Eleele is sure they can turn the
tables on another chance. Boil
teams exchanged chivalrOus greet
ings at the end of the game and al
all round helping of ice cream IA
Ota's place following the game
left kindly feeling generally in
Guiding that toward the umpires

Sugar Shortage

More and more, as we have indicat-
ed, it is evident that there will be a
sugar this season. In the Philippines
the shortage will be 40 per cent; in
Australia 80 per cent; in India 35 per
cent. Even in Fiji there will be short
crop. Unfavorable weather is given
as the cause generally. This all goes
to insure good prices.

MUCH ALIVE To
SCHOOL INTERESTS

By special arrangement those par
ticularly interested in the Kauai High
and Grammar school consisting entire
ly of those having children in the
school, held a conference with Sup
erintendent MacCaughey at the Lihue
Social Hall Tuesday afternoon a week
ago. BY way of introduction Mr.. Mac
Caughey spoke at some length on the
relation between the grammar grades
and the high school, and explained the
status and relation of the junior hibh
school.
Coming to the questions and prob
lens more Immediately at hand, he
emphasized the need,-based on the
information he had received,-for
some more adequate dormitory and
boarding facilities, so that children
from the outer districts might be able
to avail themselves of the high school
privileges.
When the meeting was thrown open
for general discussion, Mr.. Lydgate
assured the Superintendent that the
immediate and pressing interest of all
present was the status and character
of the grade school in conjunction with
the high school and leading up to. He
explained how this school had grown
out of private school inaugurated by
the parents, and merged into this pub
lie school, only on assurance that it
would be continued along the lines
and up to the standards of an English
speaking school, There seemed to be
indications that this school might be
withdrawn or be allowed to lapse. The
people with children attending this
this school were very anxious for some
guarantee that it should be continued,
and kept up to the highest standard
of efficiency. Mr.. Broadbent confirm
ed this statement and emphasized the
fact that intelligent people must have
satisfactory means of education for
| their children or they would move
| away to some country where they
| could secure it. 1t was a very vital
matter and must be dealt with as such.
Other parents present confirmed
| these convictions in no uncertain
| tones.
Mr.. MacCaughty assured them that
he had not understood the situation
before, and that since the school had
been established on that basis, and
seemed to have met the needs of the
community, it would, of course, be
continued, even though it did seem to
be paralleling the work of the ordinary
public school. Evidently the thing
to do was to institute a survey of the
conditions and needs of the school
and of its clientele, and then report
to the Department. He thought that
there was no reason to doubt that
those needs would be supplied.
After some discussion it was decided
to appoint a committee to make this
survey, with Mr.. Broadbent as the
head of it, to make his own selection
of oher members, and a farther meet.
ing of the parents was set for Monday
evening, May IL.
