Men will fight over what minor

multitudes of churches and the
shortage OF good preachers
which now afilicts Christianity
everywhere. A town of three

needs Christian evangelism
with all the mass power Christ
ian men and women can throw
into the press in their every com

Baptist preacher can't serve the
sacrement to the followers of
jesus Christ unless first they
have been wholly put under wa

holds to predestination as of car

or salvation; and because the
Methodist believes in neither.
Because of these things. so

New Principals Club
aSPrOmiSngF Future
Plans Outlined At Meeting Last Sat-
urday-TO Meet Again Tomorrow
For Further Observation-Disclosures
EIected-Live Wire Club Indicated
(Communicated.)

A meeting was held at Waikiki
School, last Saturday, april 26) for
the purpose of organizing a Princi-
pals Club. About twenty-five princi-
pals were present.
Two former meetings settled the
preliminaries.
The club will be open to all prin-
cipals on Maui by giving their names
to the secretary.
The object is to form a center at
which principals can meet at stated
intervals and discuss matters of pro-
fessional interest, give addresses or
lectures on educational topics, make
recommendations on behalf of teach
ers in general and rendered subjects.
Some such organization will meet
a long felt want as the only means of
expression, en- bloc, UP to the>p present
on the part of teachers has been the
annual meeting an unwieldly body
whose executive %functures have ne
c~essarily been greatly subordinated
to other forms of activity and whose
influence has suffered in consequence
1t is the earnest desire on the part
of the organizers that the club will
become a live-wire in educational
matters and tend to the benefit of
teachers in general.
Any suggestions or resolutions on
the part of either teachers or princi-
pals viii be acted upon if the same
are submitted to the secretary in
writing.
The commissioner of education
for Maui who was present at the end
of the session, volunteered his good
Offices in regard to suggestions for
improvements in the present educa-
tional system and will present such
constructive ideas to the forthcoming
meeting of commissioners at Homo
lulu.
A special meeting will be held in
the Waikiki School at 10 a. m. next
Saturday to discuss the question of
examinations in general and to form
ulate resolutions in regard to their
advisability in different grades, the
selection of subject-matter and their
modus operandii.
The next regular meeting will be
on Saturday, May oath at the same
time and place.
After the adoption of a constitution
the following permanent officials were
unanimously elected who will con
stitute the executive committee; pres
ident, f. w. Hardy, Makawao; vice
president, B. O.. Wist, Lahaina; secre-
tary-treasurer, H. A. Wade, Haiku.

Distiller To Try
Fuel Making For M.A.Co

A. Misener, a distiller of the Wind
sor section, near Santa Rosa, Cal,
will arrive here in a few days to en-
deavor to solve the problem of cheap
er fuel for combustion engines of the
Valley Isle.
A year or two ago when gasoline
was high and there was great waste
of molasses on account of a lack of
tankage o. ships coming to the is
lands, the idea was conceived of max
ing etherized alcohol out of the molas-
SEES to be used in combustion engines.
It was figured that not only would
the surplus of Maui Agricultural Com
pany be used up in this way, but fuel
could be supplied to stationary en-
gines and autos at less cost than it
could be had for at that time.
The mandatory was started up
and ran successfully for a short time
when molasses tankage was again
supplied and shipments of much of
the surplus to the coast was resumed
to some extent. However, it is the
determination of Senator Harry Bald
win and his associates to give the
proposition a thorough tryout, and an
offer of Misener to come to the is
lands and assist in the work was ac-
cepted. Misener will work under
John p. Foster, chemist of NJ. A. Com

"
The last Junior double-header for
some time to come, was played last
Sunday, at the Waikiki Baseball
Grounds and resulted as follows: AS
ahis, 5; Waikiki Plantation, 3 (tie)
All-Stars, 10; Chinese, 8.
A hugh surprise package was hand
ed the Asahis and fans in general, by
the plantation tossers who played
sensational ball. The breaks came
their way and up to the last minute
it seemed as if the well-balanced As
ahis would be minus a game.
Captain Moniz of the sugar men
pitched great ball, considering that it
was his first appearance in the box
but to Masaichi, keystone sacker of
the Asahis, belongs the honor of the
day. He essayed to stop the mill
men in the 9th frame, relieving va
mamoto. The first two men walked
and with none down, two men on
base and the score 5 all, he proceeded
to fan the next three men up, putting
a fitting climax to a great game.
Second Game
The second game between the ALL
Stars and Chinese was a fairly good
one, barring the first two frames. In
the first inning the Chinese landed on
Rodrigues and Tailed 6 times. In the
second they got 2 runs on Wellsey
Cummings who had taken up the pit
cher's role for the Stars.
This should have sewed up the
game for the Celestials but baseball
is baseball and the Stars, while get
ting only one run in the opening in
ming, crossed the plate on Z occasions
in the second and evened up matters,
8 to 8.
A dispute arose over decision of the
umpire and for a time there was
nothing doing. When play was re-
sumed the swatfest came to an END
and during the rest of the game but
three runs were scored, the winners
making one in the 5th frame and the
deciding run in the 8th while the
losers got their lone tally in the 9th.
Wellsey Cummings, who did SLAB
duty for the winners after rs OF an
inning had been played, twirled IN
excellent shape and to him is due
much of the credit for the Victory.

Stars featured with home u swats'

les beginning at 3:15 o'clock, the Pa
las and Wailukus being the principals,
st. Anthony and the Waikiki Planta-
ton are scheduled to engage in the
preliminary game which commences

Advices are that Lahaina will be
out in full force next Sunday, team
= and fans, and that Kahului-Puunene
will keep them company on the side
lines.
There is a possibility that the band
will be on hand. The musicians ush'
