BANANA FIBRE FOR BAGS

a machine has been perfected.
and brought to successful trial
for the manufacture of bags,
twine. etc. from the fibre of ban
ana stalks. So thoroughly assur-
ed is the success of the machine
that company is being formed
in Honolulu to undertake the
manufacture Oh a large scale.
If a commercial success, this
invention will prove great boon
to these islands, for we have a
large source of supply in the thou
sands of banana trees that go to
waste when the fruit is cut. and
a large demand from the sugar
and rice industries for millions
of bags.
The machine is now On exhibit
ion in Honolulu. and it seems to
give good satisfaction. Here's to
its commercial success.

Hanapepe Land
Under Cultivation

According to M. j. Pereira,
former candidate for representa-
tive, he has been able to secure
permission to plant cane on about
100 acres of government land at
Hanapepe.
The lands secured are about 70
acres, below the main road at
Hanapepe. Seventeen acres in an
open gulch Oh the west side of the
Hanapepe valley, and 13 acres of
former cane land in Hanapepe
valley, recently under yice and
cultivated by NidO, japanese
rice planter.
Nido was under the impression
that he could continue to plant
rice on this land until the land
went under the hammer sometime
this summer, but was recently in
formed by Mr.. Pereira to STOP
operations Oh the rice plantation
Last October Mr.. Rivenburgl
gave assurance that all rice plant
ers at Hanapepe or elsewhere Oh
Kauai, would be assured the
right to continue the cultivation
of rice lands. The 13 acres cult
waited NidO was formerly cane
land, and the land Office was
probably not informed regarding
the transfer of this land from
cane cultivation to rice. AS thu
remainder of the land upon whicl
Pereira intends to plant cane has
been idle for the past year OF
more, it is a good thing that it il
now to be put under cultivation
Regarding the 13 acres of ric'
land however, which NidO has al
ready plowed for rice, ther'
should be some action taken t,
see that MidO is either reimbursed
for his labor or that he is allowed
to continue the cultivation of tn,
land as he was assured he cOul,
do by the land department las
October.

BASE BALL GAME
L|HUE VS. KAPAA

An exciting baseball game was
played off yesterday afternoon on
the park diamond opposite Kapaa
school between Lihue grammar
school and the nine stars from
Kapaa. The game resulted in a
victory for the boys from Lihue
by score of II to 8. This was in
retaliation for similar defeat
inflicted some weeks ago by the
Kapaa bunch and the rubber is
yet to be played Yesterdays
game reached the exciting climax
in the ninth inning when Kapaa
made a squirt and showed in three
runs in quick succession and the
Lihue fans became nOticeably
nervous. Good pitching and q
rally of the infield however stop
ped the onslaught just in time tC
leave a respectable margin in fav
or of the visitors.
Among the large crowd of Ell
thusiastic roOters from both
schools, four teachers from Lihut
and Kapaa schools were very
much in evidence. The Y. M. G
A. is offering a pennant to the
school winning the highest pei
centage of games until March 1st
All Kauai grade schools will bt
eligible to enter the contest ant
the roar of the rOOters will sOOI

KAPAA'S BADLY BEATEN
BY THE LIHUE JUNIORS

The following account of the
ball game at Kapaa on Sunday,
Jan. 7th, came in too late to be
published in the last issue:
On Sunday, the 7th, the Juniors
motored to Kapaa and defeated
the HOmesteaders badly, with a
score of 13 to 3.
Alex X. Akita and HirOta, and
KanO and A. Taves composed the
batteries for the Juniors and
HOmesteaders respectively. The
Juniors started the scoring and
had it not been for the rain the
HOmesteaders would have been
whitewashed.
The HOmesteaders have a good
team but are lacking in teamwork
and practice. They rather de
pend on the umpire for the game
1t was a mighty fortunate thing
to have Thomas, head carpenter
for Lihue plantation, as one OF
the umpires. There isn't any
criticism in his umpiring. He
sees things that most jumps cant
spy in game.
The fans are partly to blame
for the HOmesteaders losing. They
criticized and scOlded at the play
ers each time they made an error
when they really needed encOur
agement.
Alfred Fernandez, NJ. Pereira
and Joe CarvalhO were the brigh'
and particular stars for the Jun
iOrs, while NJ. Taves shown fol
the HOmesteaders.
This Sunday the Plthi's viii

Kapaa School is
the Place to Lunch

The Kapaa school has inaugu-
rated a well equipped domestic
science kitchen which is doing
excellent work in the way of pOpu-
lar school lunches.
A cool cOmmOdious, well venti-
lated kitchen has been Outfitted
with two large blue flame kerO-
sene stoves, and the necessary
parapernalia for about $50 lunch
es daily. A broad cOunter-shelf
runs the whole way round on the
inside where the portions are pre-
pared; and similar one on the
outside, over which they are dis
pensed.
The standard lunch is rated at
5 cents, and the lunch furnished
is certainly well worth the money
about twice the value that
could be got anywhere else. The
service is rendered by girls of the
upper grades taking turns, one
day a week. They put in an hour
in the morning, before school, get
ting things started, and then
come back at II O'Clock for the
final preparation of the meal.
There is a different menu for
each day of the week, and certain.
ly they are appetizing. Some of
them are as follows:
Corn beef and cabbage, corn
bread and tea; vegetable soup,
crotons, apple pudding and cocoa
baked beans, jelly sandwiches
cocoa; fish chOwder, rice pudding
tea; meat pie, fruit salad, cocoa
The bill of fare for the day is
put onto the board in each room
so the children may know in ad
vance what is coming and gauge
their appetites accordingly.
A representative of the Garden
island happened around yester
day, little in advance of lunch
time, and was so taken by the
spicy fragrances that drifted Ovel
from the kitchen that he begged
an invitation to lunch.
With cOmmendable foresight
the kitchen has been placed tt
windward of the school buildings
so that the children know what il
coming; that's the kind of adver
tising that reaches them!
That day there 1872 lunches
served, and every one looked hap
py and cOntented.
The children file past the count
er in regular order, deposit th'
five cents in ginger jar, ge
their plates waiting all ready fOl
them, and then look round for ;
sheltered or shady spot on th'
lawn, to eat it One band of littl'
brownies cOlOnized under one O
the bungalows and had nice
quiet time by themselves.
In addition to being palatibl'
and abundant, the lunches ar
we'll balanced with good fOOt
values properly disposed. Th
effort is to give the very bes
lunch possible for the money, ant
we venture to say that they ar
certainly doing it.

This disregard for the law ialthougu
the ordinance was passed after the

for the rights of others would prompt
almost anyone to stop under the cir

such ordinance. 1t has been possible
to see violations of this kind time

cause for an arrest and fine at any
time without waiting for any wave OF
reform or law enforcement.
Another chance for the cops to pm
