SCHOOL BELLS AGAIN SILENT.

Once more the curtain has fallen on
the public school activities of Mineral
Point and the bells are again silent.
On the whole it was a successful year,
probably as much so as that of any of
its nature in the state. There was
splendid unison of action and application
on the part of both teachers and pupils,
from the highest to the lowest depart
ments. A class of thirty-nine emerged
from the high school. Their names APP

For the commencement exercises,
which took place last Friday evening,
the Municipal Theatre was gaily attired
in class colors and fragrant flowers and
filled to its utmost capacity with inter
ested citizens. The following program
was carried out well

TRY SLACKERS

In Missouri last year, 1876 birds
were eliminated from 1888 flocks
which were culled under the supervi-
sion of the home demonstration agents
sent out by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture and the State
agricultural college. This resulted in
a saving of approximately $50, 0,161 to
their owners.
In another State, 486 local leaders
were trained, with the result that IT,
478 birds were culled. OF this num-
ber, 274,399 were found to be non
productive.
About 81 per cent of all the poul-
try in the country is cared for by wo-
men. For that reason special atten-

Keep Fly Paper in Place

A New Jersey man has invented a
device to keep fly-paper in one posi-
ton and from being blown by the
wind on to fathers favorite chair or
mothers most treasured lace curtains.
1t consists of a frame having grooves
at each end to permit the insertion
of the sheet of fly-paper. A narrow
strip of wood is forced down into the
groove over the paper to hold it taut.
At the lower end Of the frame three
grooves are located for taking care
of any variations in the lengths of
the fly-paper.
When the fly-paper is in it's frame,
it may be placed up in any convenient
place, and will be so conspicuous as
to be readily seen before being sat
upon. In addition TO being useful as
holder for fly-paper, the device can
be used as an embroidery frame or as
a stretcher for cloth or paper.-Popu-

FOR BETTER THINGS
BY j. o. Warner

On Friday of last week the prin-
cipals of Kauai public schools met in
conference at Makaweli and effected

principals, the supervising principal.

sisting Of Mr.. Damkroger. Miss My
hand and Mr.. Warner, submitted a
detailed report which was adopted
without change except that instead
Of the general recommendation of
directors and officers suggested in the
report, the committee was asked at
once to make final nominations.

Children Perform

All those who were fortunate en-
ough to attend the entertainment
given by the children of the Hama
maulu school last Saturday evening,
in the Lihue Social Hall, were unani-
nous in declaring that the affair was
a great success as far as the enter
tainment itself was concerned. 1t was
one of the prettiest and best carried
out children's entertainments ever
given in Kauai and it was a great
pity that owing to other attractions
so few attended.
The Hanamaulu orchestra helped
out wonderfully with accompaniments
in the old plantation songs and dane.

The little play entitled THE Land

Goose, too. helped with many of her
characters, as we'll as "My Lady For

goblins, Denichi Sumida and Yoroni-

The children all did splendidly and
the costumes, lovely leis and pretty
children made a picture long to be
remembered.

The affair was in the nature of a
tea and was a complete surprise to
the young lady.
After a guessing game in which all
took part, prizes were given. Every
one, however, cut cards for the con
ISOLATION prize, which, it was arranged
should go to Miss Eskew. She was
presented with a large burlap sack

here.

opened, dainty refreshments were
served.

The Bank Of Kauai Assured

The local bank and trust company
proposition referred to in these col

sured fact. Messrs Truslow and Pat
terson acting for the Peoples Bank,

are on the ground, making final ar
rangements for the Inauguration of
the same, and, with smiling faces,
they report themselves. as entirely
satisfied with the way things have
gone. The stock has been subscribed
for eagerly, and very widely, among
great many small holders, which
augers well for the success of the in
stitution.

owned and controlled on the Island
and in the interests of the Island.
An advantageous site has been Sc
cured at Kapaa, where building will
begin at once, and in about three
months it is expected, the new bank

business.

THE LARGEST
IN THE WORLD

Waialeale was first established as
a rain gauge station a dozen years
or so ago. Because of extreme in
accessibility it could not be read every
every day, nor every week, so sort
of tank rain gauge was installed there
to be read occasionally as might seem
to. be necessary. No one knew how
much it rained there, but surely one
that would register fifty inches would
be large enough. 1t was soon found,
however, that this was entirely mad
equate, that it would almost overflow
in night. This was replaced by one
of $50 inches capacity, and this over
flowed prematurely if you didn't watch
it carefully, so one of 800 inches was
installed. Even this proved made
quate for the requirements of such
phenomenal conditions of rainfall and
isolation.
So now monster raingauge, the
largest in the world has just been
installed that will measure up to 900
inches, and that will do the business
for a whole year if necessary, all by
itself. 1t is a copper tank gauge, &C
inches high and 27 inches in diameter
weighing empty. As pounds, and full
945.
Anyone who knows anything of our
mountain conditions, and the exceed
ing difficulty Of travel and transporta
ton in them, can imagine the job il
was to get that unwieldy, heavy tank
up there. 1t was lashed to long pole
and carried on the shoulders of men
1t took them four days to get it there
they started from Waimea on Mon
day and reached the top on Thursday
after the most herculean efforts and
discouragements.
Now Hardy, the water man, car
sleep in peace nights, and listen to
the patter of the rain on the root
without worrying about that Waiale
ale raingauge lest it may overflow be
fore he can get there
Hardy deserves a great deal OF
credit at the hands of science and the
general public, for it is entirely due tc
him that we have that phenomina,
station. He established it, and he is
the only man with the sand" and
energy to keep it up.

A Farewell Ovation

E. o. Thurtell, resigning electrician
of the Lihue Plantation, received a
veritable ovation from the employees
of his department on Wednesday
afternoon at the Wainiha power house,
far mauka.
AS the power house employees
could not leave their duties there,
which are absolutely continuous, to
come down to Lihue, the rest, includ-
ing Mr.. and Mrs. Thurtell and their
daughter, went up there, and amid
these picturesque and unfamiliar sur
roundings a very interesting and af-
fecting testimonial of their regard
and respect for their master was en-
acted. There was a veritable ban
quet of the finest kind in the course of
which a beautiful gold watch was
rendered to him, with most heartfelt
expressions of an affection and re-
spect which outran words and melted
into tears, the final outcome being
that the speaker broke down and sob
bed like a child, and every one else
was affected the same way.
Mr.. ThurtelPs very happy disposi-
ton and his generous kindly heart, as
we'll as his uniform courtesy and patti
ence have made him hosts of friends
among all classes, and there will be
a general regret when he leaves,
which will be in few days.
They expect to go direct to the
Coast as soon as they can get passage.
