Club dc Montmartrc

The great establishments or
Broadway have confidence born OF
good sense that those establish
ments will remain great gathering
places despite prohibition. One
thing has been decided upon ana
that is that the atmosphere created
by pleasant personality in any
establishment, particularly if that
pesonality is possessed by person
directing restaurant actiyitles, Is
an unreasonable asset. Thus has
there been discriminating selec-
ton, which has continued for weeks
and may extend for months, of at.
tractivc women of good social
standing for the position of hostess
in the restaurants of Broadway,
AS All example the selection OF
Miss Grace Field as the hostess OF
the Club de Montmartrc may well
be cited. Miss Field, woman OF
unusual charm and experience. was
for more than three years in charge
of the social activities at the Hotc1
Claridgc.

Want New Laundry

The Democrat has been informed
that Starrett & Hays, whose laundry
was burned some weeks ago. have
decided not to reopen their business
in this city, and have sold the fire
damaged machinery to a Laundry at
Hannibal One reason give for this
decision was that no suitable build
ing could be secured at this time.
There is question as to whether
the walls in the burned building are
in condition for rebuilding. The peo-
pie of Monroe City would like to
see a good laundry started here at
an early date, even though g new
b uilding would have to be erected.
There is plenty of business to make
the Enterprise a success with good
men at the head of it. Several out
of town laundries have established
agencies here since the fire, but
their is nothing like keeping busi-
ness at home if possible. Let's
have good modern laundry in our

seem to be increasing in number,

give chase to the wolves. A chase
was had last Friday and two of the
hounds came back severely used up,
Parties are in communication with
men in Dakota who have the Rus
sian hounds, which are said to be
death to wolves and after killing
them bring them home to their
masters. t'is said that in the To-
cality infested by the wolves rab-
bits and foxes have disappeared
and many pigs, lambs and poultry
are missing.

This being the off year in city
politics very little interest is being
manifested in the approaching
city election. Three alderman only
are to be elected. one from each
ward, and at this writing-Tuesday
noon-no candidates are in evidence.
The present council has had some
pretty knotty problems to solve
and the fact they have done so in a
most creditable manner gives them
a record of which they can justly
be proud.

that state committees may decide

been engrossed in the senate. There
was quite a heated debate over

Maui Boy Decorated
By King For ValOr
William HuSSey, Of Lahaina, Fight
ing With Canadians Since 1914,
Wounded Three TimeS-In Hos
pital At Present

Another Maui boy has distinguish
ed himself as a soldier in France.
Wounded three times and still in a
hospital in England, he has recently
been decorated by King George for
distinguished service and exceptional
valor.
The young hero is William X. Hus-
sey, of Lahaina, a nephew of Thomas
Hussey, head carpenter of the Pioneer
Mill Co. He was one of the first
from the Islands to respond to the
call of humanity, leaving the Islands
a few months after the great war be
gan in 1914 and joining a Canadian
regiment. Since that time he was
constantly with the fighting forces up
to the end of the war, except during
the intervals when wounds confined
him to hospital wards.
Friends have just learned some
thing of this young hero's exploits,
but still know little of the details by
which he won recognition as one of
the bravest of the brave. He was in
the greatly battle of the Somme where
he was first wounded in a charge by
a splinter of shrapnCl in his thigh.
llS llOll lhlo luJulN' Ht NbN
in time to get into the terrible fight
ing of Vimy Ridge where he got a
bullet through the right breast. After
n weary time in the hospital he was
again able to take his place on the
firing line. 1t was in the fighting
during the last big drive that he was
for a third time wounded, this time
in the shoulder. From this he has
not yet recovered and has, tempOrari-
ly at least, lost the use of the fingers
of his right hand.
Young Hussey is but % years of
age. He had worked for some time
for the Pioneer Mill Co., as carpen-
ter's helper before The war. He Is
land born, his home originally being
in Kohala where his parents still
live. 1t is expected that he will be
coming back to Maui within a short
time.
