Nice, Jan. 1S.-Feasting and dane.
ing are absorbing the attention OF
Riviera guests this season. The
necessities of life are not abundant
and there is an actual shortage of

keeping themselves warm by tango
ing, fox trotting and in appropriat-
ing every other variety of terpsichor-
ian exercise, the Riviera having been
transformed into a vast dance which
absorbs all energies excepting those
reserved for feasting. Meanwhile
the cost of living continues to soar

ca, was driving out of the Lihue
Hotel entrance, one Yamasaki,
rent driver of Laval, going to-
ward Nawiliwili, crashed into her
car, wrecking the left front wheel
and doing considerable other dam
age. Yamasaki claimed that Miss
Langwith did not sound her horn,
but Sheriff Rice, who was in the
vicinity, heard Miss Langwith
sound her horn, and was a wit
ness to the fact that her car was
across the road when struck, also
that if Yamasaki had stayed on
his right side of the road he would
have missed the other car.

The Joint financial campaign now
being made by the Y. M. C. A., the
boy scouts and the school athletic
league is one that should appeal to
every member Of Kauai community
No institution can do effective service
without a reasonable amount of
money and these three organizations
on Kauai have officially agreed to
combine their askings from the pub
lie all at one time which is the popu-
lar and efficient plan in other places.
Kauai needs theprotective influence
of all three of these organizations.
Their functions do not overlap but
they coordinate admirably. Moreover
it is everybody's business on Kauai to
get back of these well-known, vigor-
GUS American institutions,

A Serious Accident

The Honolulu papers publish
an item about George Little, "as-
sistant engineer of the Lihue
Mill. This is a mistake as far as
Lihue is concerned. He is assist
ant engineer at McBryde. Some
time ago he was in the act of fill
ing gasoline torch when the
gasoline sprayed out over his
clothing. His first Impulse was
to go home and change. But sat.
isfied that it would surely evapOr-
ate in a few minutes he failed to
do so. A little later in lighting
the torch the flame leaped to his
clothing and in an instant he was
all ablaze. Unfortunately there
was no one near to help him and
before he could free himself his
whole breast and his hands were
terribly burned. At the time
there seemed little chance of his
recovery, but he is now doing
well and in due time will be about
again.

SUNDAYS CANES

The McBryde-Makaweli soccer
game at Eleele last Sunday was
a great exhibition of the English

win for Makaweli of 1 to 0. Hut

Lihue claims a win from Ka-
waihau on the grounds that their
Kapaa field, where the game was
to have taken place, was in no
condition to play upon. The mat
ter will be decided at the league

If the letague decides that Lihue

mean that Lihue and McBryde
are tied for first place..
There will be no gam e next
Sunday.

A LEGAL WEDDING

Yesterday morning Herman
KOertO and Alice Adolpho, of Ha-
namaulu, appeared before L. A.
Dickey with the request that he
bind then in the holy bonds of
matrimOny. They had the re-
quired license but failed to bring
witnesses to the event, so the
Judge had to rustic around and
find some witnesses. He finally
found two people who were will
ing to act in this capacity and the
two young folks were soon tied
hard and fast and sent on their
way rejoicing.
Judge Dickey has been splicing
matrimonial knots ever since he
was second district magistrate in

New Homesteaders
Making Progress

The Wailua Homestead region
has undergone a wonderful trans
formation during the last three
months and one would scarcely
know it now, there has been so
much clearing, blowing, planting
and building done. The prompt
ness and energy with which the
wilderness has been reduced to
cultivation is most cOmmendable
and promises well for Il success
full outcome. The mistake of late
planting, which is so common,
and so fatal, in such new opera
tions, has been avoided and this
early planting, taken with good
preparation in the way of clear
ing and plowing, ought to pro
duce the best of results.
Our neighbOr M. g. Santos is
among the very first to get his
crop in, and with his family is
getting settled in his cosy little
home at Sunny Brook.
G.. $. Dole also is well along
with his planting and with his
simple homestead home.

Kapaa Notes


A Chinese laborer of the Wailua
rice fields was taken into custody
last week for alleged insanity. He
was taken to Honolulu on Satur-
day by Daniel Hano to be turned
over to the proper authorities
there.
The local theatre again opened
for business after more than a
month of idleness. To show that
the closing has in no way dimin-
ished their appetite for the movies,
the people crowded the theatre to
capacity for the opening on Satur-
day evening.
That very interesting question
of whether the teachers will get
raise if the Governor calls spec
ial session of the legislature this
summer, was submitted to Repre-
sentatives Aguiar and Kaahu of
this district last week, but both
were nOn-committal, preferring to
wait until they knew more of the
details of the reasons for the pro-
posed 25 per cent increase before
expressing their opinions. They
both seem to agree, however, that
a raise of some sort is necessary.
According to the date set, the
Kapaa Fourth Series homestead
ers attached their signatures to
the new contract with the Makee
Sugar Company on Wednesday.
Some of the new Wailua home
steaders also signed on the follow
ing day. The new contract has
been approved by the present Ter
ritOrial administration.

The atmosphere of Easter, fragrant

sion that has prevailed in this COM

bership of Lihue Union church by
transfer frcm the Presbyterian church
of Lincolnton, Ca, and Central Union
of Honolulu, respectively. The pas.

spring character. Following the
Easter message the sacrament Of the
Lords supper was celebrated i'm
pressively. the pastor being assisted
by Rev. ]. M. Lydgate and deacons
Judge Dickey and Judge Dole.
Attendance at Sunday school was
very gratifying after the recess en-
forced by the flu ban. Mr.. Warner

the children on the significance Of
Easter. 1t is hoped that there will
be an increasing attendance from
now on both Of pupils and teachers
until the maximum possible for Lihue

MILK SUPPLY FOR
PLANTATION PEOPLE

The Lihue Plantation will es.
tablished dairy to furnish milk
for their people at such a moder.
ate price that it will be within
the reach of all. This was the
idecisiOn arrived at in the recent
annual meeting of the stockhold.
ers This conviction has been
slowly crystallizing for years and
was hurried to finish by the re.
cent flu epidemic.
1t will probably be located
down by the sea at Nukoli beyond
Hanamaulu on what is commonly
known as the Bismark Drive.
This will be an excellent location
as it provides fine, sandy fiat
which will be always clean and
dry for buildings and run, and is
backed by fertile, stretch of
swale that, when drained, will
raise the best of feed. There will
also be an abundant supply of
water, and good drainage into
the nearby sea. The location will
also be easily accessible by good
roads.
They will import high class
stock from the coast and will
have all the best modern applian.
ces to make it sanitary and
wholesome in every respect; and
they will furnish the best of high
grade milk.
The plan will be to furnish the
milk to their employees, and the
contingent general public, at as
near cost as possible, and to de.
liver it in the very early morning
to central stations in each camp
all over the plantation.
Harris, recently of Kealia, who
has been in the dairy business at
the coast and thoroughly under.
stands it, will conduct the bust.
ness. Immediate steps are being
taken to install the enterprise,
and it is expected that it will be
in operation within a few months.

QUIET IN COURT CIRCLES

Judge HjOrth reports tn t
March was very light month in
district court business,-the fine
realizations being only S34.00.
This is probably due to the preva-
lence of the flu, partly because
would be criminals or evaders of
the law had other things on hand
that absorbed their whole atten-
ton, and partly perhaps because
the police were more or less laid
up, and were not as alert as usual.
