Hard Time Making Garden.

We believe VIM. Hyland has had
about as hard time getting in a
garden this year as any one in Osceo-
la, but he is succeeding and will have
a good one. The back of the lot
where the garden is going in at his
fine new home on South Park street
comes where the old X. & w. railway
round house was located years ago
and where the engine pits of rock
brick and cement was constructed.
He has plowed out, spaded out and
dug out many hundreds of brick and
pulled out much rock, some of them
being of good size since garden time
arrived. He is getting things in
shape now so things look like the
earth would soon begin to supply the
home table with fresh vegetables.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hyland are going to
have one of the most beautiful
homes and grounds in Osceola when
things are completed.-Osceola Tri-

Basketball is Begun

Opening games of the Maui High
School interclass basketball series for
1920 were played last Friday evening
at the Waikiki Gymnasium. The
score of the first game, 20 to 8, tells
the story, for the Sophomores walked
away from the Freshmen. But the
second game, between the Juniors and
Seniors, was a hard fight all the way
through, and the spectators were
treated to a few thrills and lots of eX-
element.
At the beginning of the game the
Seniors started to take the lead, but
by the end of the first quarter the
Juniors had crep up and passed them.
The game throughout was closely CON
tested, and with the end only two
minutes away the teams were tied
with a score of 10 to 10. The next
goal was thrown by the Juniors, max.
ing the score IL to 10. The Seniors
~redoubled their efforts to even up the
score again, and playing was fast and
furious all over the court, but time
was called before another goal was
made, and the score stood II to 10, in
favor of the Juniors.
