A NOVEL BIRTHDAY

Ms. L. Cropp gave a very success
full as well as novel and original chill
drens party Friday afternoon in honor
of the third birthday of her little
daughter Helen. The favors were in
the form of dainty little glass baskets
filled with miniature flowers while
the hon-bon boxes were made of larger
flowers, which, on pulling off the
petals, revealed the candy within.
There was a fish pond with a fisher
maiden in charge to whom the older
children wrote letters telling what
they would like, and who saw to it
that their wishes were met. For the
little tots there was a grab bag with
a generous supply of treasures at the
bottom. Finally, by the way of eli
max, there were the most delicious re-
freshments,-mostly all the way from
town.
There were 81 children and as many
of the parents as were available
partly from Koloa and partly from
Lihue.

FALLEN FROM ITS HIGH ESTATE

The local branch of the Japanese
federation of labor have leased the
historic old Dole premises in Koloa
for Island headquarters.
They have already erected a commo.
dious building thereon for assembly
room and Offices, and are proposing in
the near future to put up other build
ings.
1t is reported that they will start a
paper which will be printed there,
and which will serve as the official
organ of the federation
1t would look as though they were
going to inaugurate a strong and
aggressive policy
The Dole place. on the left hand
side of the road from Koloa to the
landing, makai of the school, is old
historic missionary ground the cradle
of Hawaiian loyalty, and the home of
devotion to the best interests OF the
Islands. 1t is a shame and disgrace
to have so. sacred and historic a spot
fall into alien hands, to be devoted to
alien interests.

A VALUABLE DISCOVERY

Olaa has learned how to make ex-
cellent starch out of the tree fern,
which is common in the forests there
about Within the fibrous outer layer
of the trunk there is solid core, three
of four inches in diameter, somewhat
the texture and color of brown soap.
This, it seems, contains large amount
of starch. The Hilo Tribune reports
that 80 pounds of starch can be made
from single tree, and that the starch
is of excellent quality, white and
brittle, and easily crushed to the finest
powder"
This tree fern is the "hapu," which
90 years ago played a very important
part in the prosperity of the Islands,
since it produced the "pulu," of COM
mercc, a fine silky down used by up
holsterers for mattresses, pillows, etc.
1t was gathered in large quantities in
the forests dried, baled, and shipped
away to the Coast.

Social Happenings

Let no one imagine that we are in
| the social doldrums in these midsum-
mer days. Almost every day produces
its events-sometimes more than one.
The other day local hostesses found
it impossible to make up their circles
of guests to their satisfaction because
their were three social events for that
particular afternoon, and the circles
cut more or less deeply into one
another.
Mrs. Albert Judd and family are on
Kauai spending a few weeks. They
were a few days in Lihue; a few more
in Koloa, with the ,$and
are now up at Kokee.
Miss Myra Angus, from Town, is
spending a few days with the Grotes
at Waipouli.
Miss Pauline Klugel has been spend
ing a few days with Mrs. Jennings.
Miss Thompson, of Grove Farm,
gave a very delightful afternoon tea
for few of her lady friends, at the
Broadbent place, at Waipouli, on
Thursday last.
The Christian families of Lihue and
McBryde had a delightful picnic out
ing at Hanamaulu beach on Sunday.
The fatted calf-in the shape of a
luau'd pig-was provided for the occas-
ion and added no little to the salts
faction of the day. Following the
lunch most of them made a visit to the
stranded aeroplane over beyond the
new dairy.
Little Lillian Jameson celebrated
her sixth birthday with a very happy
little girls party at the Grote's, Wal
pouli beach. 1t is a delightful place
for an affair if that kind, and it goes
without saying that they had delight
full time There were six little girls
and each received dainty little bean
bag by way of favor. With these they
played the familiar bean bag game for
prize, which Alice Scott secured.
Delicious refreshments were served.

REGO CHALLENGES PUALI
TO WRESTLING MATCH

Louis Rego, former champion wrest-
Ter of Maui, who is now connected with
the Lihue police department, has is
sued a challenge to Willie Puali of
the road deartment, to finish wrest-
ling match.
Puali, who has had quite bit of
experience in juijitsu wrestling, has
stated that he believes he can throw
Rego. Rego does not agree with
Puali--hence the challenge.
~ is- understood that if Rego issued
a challenge it would be accepted. So
the sport fans are in the way of see
ing a real wrestling bout The bout is
to take place at the Tip Top theatre
some night next month.

BASEBALL NOTES

Next Sunday, August 22nd. sees the
opening of the third and last round OF
the 1920 series. In this round, ending
September 18th, the schedule will be
the same as the first round. Question
VIII the results be the same?
On July 18th (the end of the first
round) McBryde was leading with Ii
hue, Makee and Makaweli in a triple
tie for second place.
BY the way how about a cup for the
winners of the 1920 series?
Kenji Kilauea's best bet on the
mound, departed Saturday for Japan
Sometime ago it was Lihue, Makee
and McBryde, and now its the same
again. Doping the winner for 1920 on
Kauai would puzzle even the fertile
baseball brain of Hugh Fullerton.
j. T. +
The triple tie will be broken next
Sunday with one or two of the teams
dropping to third place. The Makees
meet the Kilaueas, who they have al,
ready beaten twice, and the game
looks like a Makee victory, but the
Lihue-McBryde game will be a game
worth seeing.
