Ten little girls passed an important
milestone in their lives Wednesday
at the Maunaolu Seminary, when

others will take up the serious busi-
ness of making a living. Rev. Baker

lrate Parents
Kidnap Bride
Mrs. X. MatSuura Taken From Her
Home By Parents Who Claim She
Is Under Age - Bride Is Still
Hidden

The days of old when knights were
bold, and parents hearts toward love
were cold, were re-enacted in Wailu-
ku this week, when Suayo and Saw
Taguchi kidnapped Mrs. K. Matsuura,
recent bride of the well known auto
for-hire man, thereby becoming the
defendants in a kidnapping case which
was heard before Judge Mckay Mon
day morning. 1t appears that Mrs.
Matsuura, fair of face and slim of
form is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Taguchi.
Sano believed in the American
method of picking out her own hus-
band and chose X. Matsuura, a pro-
missing young Japanese business man
to go down life's road with her. But
Sano's parents did not approve of the
match and refused to give their con-
sent, whereupon Sano and her Kichi-
gura eloped in true American style
and were duly wed.
Spirit Away Bride
The irate parents hid their huhu
under smiles and Establishments and
tried to coax Sano to come home. but
to no avail. The little wife, who claim
ed she was IS, refused to listen to
their pleas. Finally, becoming wear
led of diplomatic endeavors, the par
ents resorted to old time parental
jurisdiction, when refractory daugh-
ters were punished as the parents saw
fit. Getting the cooperation of
number of their friends, they coaxed
the young husband over to Puunene
on the ground of gettinga taXicab pas
senger and then boldly entered the
little home and carried the young
bride off bodily. Upon his return
home the young husband discovering
his loss, appealed to the county at
torney with the result that the parents
We're arrested on a kidnapping
charge.
When they appeared before Judge
Mckay the defendants claimed that
the young woman was not of the age
of consent and had married without
their consent. They refused to divulge
where the young woman was hidden,
although she had been subpoenaed to
appear as witness. The parents al
so entered suit for annulment of the
marriage on the ground that the
bride was under age.
Girl Still Hidden
The parents have been bound over
for consideration of the Grand Jury,
but meanwhile the weeping bride and
frantic young husband are cruelty
separated, and no one can tell Kichi-
gura where the cherry blossom of his
heart is to be found.

Maui Team Wins
Hapai kO Contest
X. Nakata And X. Fukuhara From
Puunene Plantation Walk OFF With
HOnOrS i Loaded Three Tons In
Record Time

Maui has triumphed once again!
Puunene has upheld the honor of
Maui by winning the hapai-ko con-
test which was held at the Territor-
ial Fair in Honolulu yesterday and
bringing home a prize of $50. X.
Nakata and X. Fukuhara, two of the
fastest cane leaders from the Ha-
waiian Commercial & Sugar Com
pany's plantation walked off with the
honors the team loading three tons
OF cane in 13 minutes SO seconds.
Maui is proud of her team. especial
ly in view of the fact that Kauai re-
ported such enormous results from
her lowest team in the preliminary
contest that it looked as though Maui
had no look in. But Maui fooled them
all. The figures which were sent up
from here as the result of the prelim-
mary contest were camouflaged, so
that none of the other teams knew
the real loading capacity of the Puu-
meme boys At the preliminary in
stead of loading but $3.50 pounds as
was reported the boys really loaded
1880 net, 1890 with the car weight,
and Wailuku team instead of loading
just 5000 pounds made 600 pounds
net and $3.50 with the car weight.
The teams competing against Maui
were, Eva for Oahu which reported
three tons loaded in the preliminary
test, McBryde from Kauai which re-
ported a load of 10,375, but did not
say whether that figure was net or
gross. Hawaii did not send team.
This is the first cane loading con-
test that has ever been held in the
Islands and such success and interest
has followed it that without doubt it
will be held each year. 1t engenders
spirit of friendly competition be-
tween the plantation workers on each
island as well as between the various
islands.

Mani Man To Sell
.,,,- Eggs By Weight
Hope Homestead At Haiku Announces
That New Method VIII Be In
augurated In Sale OF EggS-0ne
Dozen To Weigh Pound And A Half

There has been an agitation lately
for the sale Of eggs by weight. Ho-
nolulu papers have been publishing
pictures of vari-sized eggs and ask
ing the householder to make a COM
parison in the eggs they purchase by
the dozen and how much they would
have to pay if the same eggs were
bought by the pound. In order to
put this matter to the test Edwin c..
Moore of Hope Homestead in Haiku
has started to put his eggs on sale
at the Paia Mercantile store in Paia.
In regard to this experiment he writes
for The Maui News:
You would hardly be willing to buy
chops at so much each whether they
were large or small. You would in
sist that you want to pay for the food
you get which is determined by the
weight of the meat Why then are
you willing to buy eggs at so much a
dozen whether they are large or small
for in the same way as with meat
the food you get depends on the
weight?
Says Dozen Weighs "a OF.
From time to time this subject of
buying eggs by weight crops up, and
now | am going to change over to
the weight method is selling my eggs.
But because of the custom of buying
by the dozen the eggs are still sold
in the cardboard boxes holding a
dozen each. l have adopted a stand
ard weight of "a o., avoirdupois
amounting to a pound and a half for
a dozen eggs, and as many of the
boxes will be made up to weight "a
or 241@ o., net. This will be done
by weighing each box as it is being
filled and changing larger for smaller
or smaller for larger eggs, whichever
is necessary TO make the weight what
is desired These boxes, containing
a pound and a half of eggs will then
be priced at what l feel is right with
reference to the market price for
eggs by the dozen then prevailing.
The remaining eggs that cannot be
made to come up to the standard
weight will then be boxed and priced
according to their weight at he same
rate. Thus, when eggs are So cents
a dozen retail, the price is 313e an
ounce, or Sc cents a pound and box
containing a dozen that weighs but
q ounces would be priced at rs cents.
Selling eggs by weight therefore, is
unquestionabtv the just and fair way
to handle the product, and this
method of adopting a "a o., standard
will enable anyone wishing to do so
to sell by weight without coming into
conflict with the prevailing "by the
dozen" custom. Try weighing the
eggs you buy and see whether they
are up to standard weight.

kupau Appeals
Long Jail Term
Claims That Lower Court Exceeded
Its Jurisdiction When 1t Sentenc-
ed Him To Deportation From
Lahaina

Lowell X. Kupau who was sentenc-
ed to 200 days in Jail in lieu of fine
by Judge Conrad for violating a SEN
tence of deportation from the district
of Lahaina, appealed the sentence of
the lower court last Saturday, and
aruged the case in his own defense.
He contended that the sentence of
the lower court in sentencing him to
deportation from the district of La
haina was in excess of the jurisdic-
ton of the district magistrates au-
thority and that consequently the fine
of 5000 or the Jail sentence was void,
he claiming that the first sentence
was practically a suspension of SEN
tence. He asked the court to pro-
nounce sentence for the first case OF
assault and battery. The court held
that the sentence of deportation was
void and that the subsequent sentence
of 5000 or Jail was based on a void
judgment and the defendant thereby
was entitled to a discharge.
One of the humorous features Of
this case was the fact that at the
time Kupau was running against Glenn
Crowell for sheriff, he was arrested
on the assault charge, and il was his
opponents duty TO make the arrest.
The records are silent as to the exact
bannpninPc on the area siO, when the
arrest was Ila0e.

PEOPLE OF MAUI

On June IA, 1777, just 142
years ago, the United States
Continental Congress establish
ed permanently for this country
as its emblem the Stars and
Stripes. Tomorrow will be the
142nd anniversary Of that act of
Congress, and you are asked to
honor the flag by displaying it
from your houses and stores.
On Decoration Day there were
not seen a half dozen flags in
Wailuku or Kahului. Surely
these towns have more flags
than were seen on that day, and
all persons throughout Maui
who own a flag are urged to OBJ
serve the birthday of the flag
tomorrow. The American flag
is not one to be ashamed of.
It's the prettiest flag afloat, and
America has proven that the
sons who fight under it are
worthy to carry it's ripping
folds. It means freedom and
opportunity. Get out your flag
and let it tell to the conglomer-
ate peoples on your island that
the Americans here have a flag
that they are proud of.
