To Make 1t Really Dry

The failure of prohibition, inso-
far as there is ii failure, is due
bainly to evasion of the law on
the part of those who are opposed
to it. This of. course, reacts
against Il perfectly good cause.
people say, "There'S more booze
about now under prohibition than
under liccnSew Having secured
prohibition we must now see to it
that it is effective.
TO this end the responsible and
well-meaning public must assist in
the enforcement of the law.
Along this line Prohibition
Law Enforcement League has been
organized in Honolulu and COM
missioner, L. II. Cadle, has been
appointed TO carry the war into
the camp of the enemy, those who
manufacture. and those who sell
"booze.'
This will be done by a campaign
of public education which will
seek to stimulate public interest in
this practical aspect of the tenn
perance question, and to assist the
proper authorities in the convict
ion of those who still continue to
defy the law.
This commissioner, Mr.. Cadle,
arrived on the Kinau this morn
ing to look over the territory and
see what can be done here, and to
enlist the cooperation of the local
friends Of prohibition.

To Raise Our
Own Fish--Bass
For Our Streams

About 1000 striped bass were plant
week. They were part of a shipment
received by the Fish and Game Com
mission from the Mainland and ar
rived by the Maui" last Thursday.
AS there was no lnter-Island boat
coming over before Monday Mr.. H. l..
Kelley, of the Fish and Game Commits
sion, decided to bring them over in
one of the Commissions sampans.
They left Honolulu at 1O:3O am.
Thursday and arrived at Nawiliwil
about 3 pm. Saturday The fish stood
the long voyage from California re.
markably well-very few of them die
ing on the way.
Immediately after arrival. Mr. Kelley
with the assistance of C. A. Rice and
j. II. Coney, transported the bass by
truck to Niumalu and Wailua rivers
where they were liberated.
Striped bass are salt water fish. but
like the salmon, they return to fresh
water streams every year to spawn
1t will take from two to three years
for the fish just released to reach ma
turity, and in the meantime, Mr. Kelley
requests that people when fishing will
be very careful to return to the water
any of these malahine fish.
Mr. Kelley, accompanied by Elmer
Cheatham, is visiting the streams
mauka today, with the view of de-
terminng the suitableness of the water
for stocking with mountain trout. He
believes it would be a success.
Upon his return to Honolulu, Mr..
Kelley will be actively engaged in the
matter of a big mullet hatchery and
artificial propagation. "A material in
crease in the supply of fish is the only
way to bring down the price," he says.

The Mokihana Dance

The Mokihana dance, at the
Lihue Social Hall last Saturday
evening, given in honor of Miss
Mabel Wilcox, who has lust re.
turned from service in France,
was undoubtedly one of the most
successful and enjoyable affairs of
ihe kind held in Lihue in several
years.
To begin with, it was Il joyous
occasion. in which a community
gathered together to do honor to
member who had 50 unselfishly
given herself to the service of
humanity during the Great War.
Everyone was in a happy mood,
and the conditions and surround
ings were such that it would have
been strange indeed if it had not
been Il success.
1t is doubtful if the hall ever
appeared to better advantage, be
decked as it was with beautiful
flowers and potted plants. The
committee on decoration deserve
much credit for their work.
Besides the quintet club, which
furnished excellent music, a
number of members of the late
Lihue band, and an excellent or
cheStra, under the direction of
Joseph a. Sousa, appeared in com
pliment to Miss Wilcox, and ren-
dered several dance selections in
Il manner that surprised and
pleased the dancers.
At eleven o'clock delicious re
freshmentS, consisting of coffee
cake and Sherbet, were served
after which dancing was resumed
until midnight.
1t was an occasion that will
long be remembered with pleasure
The officers of the club, Mrs
Crawford, president; Mrs. Jami
son, vice-president; Mrs. Moler
treasurer, and Miss Edith Rice
secretary, acted as reception com
mittee, while Mrs. Lydgate, Mrs
Hogg and Mrs. w. II. Rice, did
good service as introduction com
mittee to make the many Strang
ers acquainted, and generally tC
make things go smoothly.

Homesteaders And
Kealia Mill Reach
Agreement

At a meeting fthe Kapaa Home.
steaders' Association at the Kapaa
Court House last Sunday morning, the
Kapaa Homesteaders approved the
new form of contract adopted by the
committee of three which last week
returned from Honolulu where the
members of the committee had journ-
led for the purpose of negotiating
with the government and the Amer
lean Factors Ltd, for better terms
than they were allowed in the con-
tract first drawn up by sugar expert
Horner.
The main purpose of the meeting
was to afford the committee consist
ing of L. Johonnot, Joe Correio and
Carl Jensen an opportunity to report
on their trip and the results attained.
When the report of the committee
was heard and the new contract read
to the members of the association
considerable satisfaction was express
ed by those present. What particu-
larry tempted the homesteaders pres
ent to adopt and approve the new
form of coneract with Makee Sugar
Company, is % per cent bonus to
be paid the homesteader for his cane,
instead of the rs per cent bonus paid
according to the recently drawn up
contract and in the contract now in
effect The additional 3 per cent, af-
forded by the new contract will go a
long way toward paying for the cost
of laying portable track and hauling
the cars to and from the main track,
which expense according to the new
contract as we'll as the one turned
down by the homesteaders, relieves
the plantation Of this expense. With
the increase of 3 per cent in the
bonus rate, the hauling of cane cars
to and from the field does not appear
to worry the Homesteaders very
much, as the homesteader figures that
provided the plantation puts in the
promised extensions of pertinent
track, the additional bonus paid will
pay for large part of the expense of
hauling cars to and from the field and
for laying portable track.
Among other things the strike
clause of the old contract is omitted
from the new one and also the new
contract provides for a quarterly
statement from the plantation to the
homesteader of his account in the
plantation boks.
After the association agreed to fav-
orably adopt the report of the commit
tee a good deal of additional business
was conducted. L. Johonnot, secre-

Japanese Hangs Himself

R. Tanabe, an employee of the Lihue
Plantation Company, committed sui.
eide by hanging himself to the limb of
tree on the edge of the Grove Farm
forest near Lihue mill last Saturday
night.
According to facts gained at the in.
quest, Tanabe, who was a married man
with several children, had drawn his
savings from the Yokohama Specie
Bank, at Honolulu, and lost it all
gambling. When his wife demonstrated
with him, he threatened to kill the
whole family, but the wife escaped
and, with the small children, went to a
friends house. Tanabe was found
hanging in the edge of the forest the
next morning by one Wada, fellow
employee.
