STUDENT SOCIAL AT WAIMEA

A student social and religious serv.
ice was held last Sunday night in the
Waimea Japanese church. All resident
students of the Kauai High, Mckinley
High, Mills, the Normal and Hawai-
hao gathered for an evening Of real
enjoyment. After rousing song fest,
the pastor spoke very plainly and
forcibly upon the subject, Christian
Americanization." Mr.. Bayless spoke
on, "A magnificent life for Jesus
Christ" After some splendid music,
rendered by the different groups, the
crowd deluged with good home made
ice cream and cake.
The success of the occasion was due
to the forethought and minute prepara-
tion on the part of the pastor, Rev.
Samuel Nagata.

JOSEPH 3. STICkNEY ARRIVES
WITH COLUMBIA sPoRTsTER

Joseph B. Stickney, representing
the Pond Company sales department.
arrived Friday morning with a Co.
lumbia passenger sportster which he
is demonstrating. This is the first
Columbia to come to this Island, and
it certainly is a beauty. "These cars
have been selling so fast, we have not
been able to keep one long enough to
bring it to Kauai until now," stated
Mr.. Stickney.
In the Columbia six you get every
thing that you get in any other car,
and a number of vitally important
features you can get in no other car.
For example, the Columbia has non
synchronizing springs, which make
the car easy riding over the toughest
roads. They are an outstanding
automotive achievement accomplish
ed by Columbia engineers.
Another important feature of the
Columbia is the "Sylphon" thermosta-
tically controlled radiator shutter.
This control enables the motor to
perform in all seasons of the year at
maximum efficiency. 1t eliminates
car designations, such as hood covers,
blankets, cardboard protectors-it
puts an end to hard starting and slow
| warming up.
"The Columbia Six is the only car
in which you will find the "Sylphon"
| Thermostatically Controlled Radiator
Shutter as standard equipment.

WALTER EKLuND ON THE JOB

Walter Eklund, representative of
the Won Hamm-Y Young Company, made
delivery last Tuesday of a twin six
1920 Packard to Mr.. b. d. Baldwin, of
Makaweli. This came as a complete
surprise to Mrs. Baldwin, who knew
nothing of the transaction until the
beautiful big car came up the palm
fringed driveway of the Baldwin
home. 1t is needless to say that Mrs.
Baldwin was highly pleased
This is the second Packard Mr..
Baldwin has purchased. The first
one was a 1910 model. Seeing the
two cars together one realizes the
great improvement made in the last
ten years. The old model is re-
splendent with brass lamps and
trimmings, presto-lite tank etc. and
had no starting mechanism other than
the good right arm, while the 1920
beauty is magnificent in it's very sim
licity-graceful stream lines, and
every convenience and improvement
known to the industry.
Mr.. Eklund also made delivery of
two Dodges. The purchasers of these
two cars saved a hundred dollars
apiece by having signed an order for
them before the recent raise. Two
more Dodges are to be delivered soon
under the same agreement. 1T pays
to get orders in early" says Eklund.

SNEAKTHiEVES AT WORK

There was burglary committed last
Thursday at the unoccupied High
School cottage. Some one broke in at
the back through a high window and
went through the whole house, ran
sacking and tearing things open, evi-
IDENTIFY in search of money or jewelry.
Apparently nothing was taken.
1t must surely have been a tender
foot in the business to imagine that
teachers had money or valuables, or
if they had, that they would leave
them behind!
