MORE RECRUITS ADDED
TO NAVAL RESERVE

The Kauai Naval Reserve Corps Ia
considerably bigger than 1t was last
week Last Friday and Saturday
recruiting officer was kept busy at
Eleele explaining the purpose and re-
quirements Of the Reserve. Men
came from all over the island and en-.
listed. Even the far-famed Sons OF
Rest are now well represented.
The Eagle goat to be kept on our
shores now seems almost certainty.
Only one hundred men are required
to bring 1t and keep 1t here. Over
half of that number are enlisted or
have expressed their intention of do
ing so.
Some of the enlisted men got their
first experience with an Eagle boat.
A number Of the first registrants were
taken for a cruise that gave them
some idea of what few months on
one OF these boats would be like. All
seemed much impressed and delighted
with a trip. Its only the first hour
or so. anyway. that bothers you on
one of those speedsters," said one OF
the Joy riders. And a number Of our
sea faring men didn't even mind the
first hour.

HOW THEY HAPPENED
TO COME TO KAUAI

1t has been quite evident that the
people of Kauai have been wondering
why the Navy ball team made the
trip to the Garden Island and perhaps
a word of explanation is necessary.
Through salesman who had just
returned from Kauai Lieut.. Albert
Fern learned that his brother Charlie
was the manager of the Lihue team.
AS he was manager of the U. S. Mine
Force he thought it would be a good
idea to bring the two teams together
to see which team was the better. A
game was arranged by wireless and
the necessary permission was granted
by the Navy officials but with the in
junction to be sure and win. The
rest is history.
The only regret is that the local
people did not have more notice so as
to give the officers and men a real
sample of Kauai's hospitality. 1t is
the intention of the Navy men to re-
turn some time in July to meet Lihue
again and the Lihue players are
more than anxious to redeem them
selves

Harrington Appointed Governor
Kauai Post will
Celebrate July 4th

Independence day will be fittingly
celebrated by Kauai Post No of the
American Legion, with a day OF
sports at Waiopuli race track. The
program will start at nine o'clock in
the morning with a series of horse
races. During the period between
races the committee have planned
several different forms of mounted
sports.
The main attraction OF the afternoon
will be base ball game between the
All-Chinese team from Honolulu and
the Makee team, 1920 champions of
Kauai
new and added feature of the
celebration will be the free transpor-
tation furnished by the Legion to
spectators from Lihue, Publ, and
Hanamaulu over the recently compile
ted Ahukini Railroad. Trains will
leave the Main camps of the three
plantations and will deliver the pas
sengers at the race track gates. When
the day of sports is over, special
trains will bring them home.
The Committee intends to make this
the biggest day that the Legion has
yet put over and the Legion has a
reputation for putting over big cele-
brations on Kauai.

iCHiokA HANGED IN
THE OAHU PRISON

Last Friday morning at eight
o'clock, Senkichi Ichioka paid the
penalty for his murder of little Tom
iko Tanaka on March 20 Of this year.
Ichioka was hanged in the Oahu
Prison.
The hanging was not done by the
old style process, by which the jailer
simply pulled a rope and saw the vic.
tim fall. Three electric buttons were
arranged on a wall in the room re-
moved from the hanging. Three
prison TRUSTEES" pushed the three
buttons simultaneously. One OF
them was connected with the trap
under the doomed man. The other
two were not connected. So no one
knows who hanged Ichioka.
This is the only murder Of this
kind that has been committed on
Kauai in many years. The murderer
was hanged in a little over two
months after he committed the deed.
He would have been hanged in less
time than that II an unlocked for
petition had not been sent to the
governor recommending mercy. This
sure and sudden justice will surely
make other offenders hesitate a long
time before they kill.

Mrs. John 'Midkif, Babe
Miraculously Escape
Death In Auto Accident

What seems to be nething more or
less than miracle happened about
o'clock this morning when the
Cleveland car driven by Mrs. John
Midkiff, with her babe in basket in
the tonneau, skidded near the bottom
of the Lihue Store hill, and plunged
over the high culvert into the water
in the creek below, without in the
least hurting either of them.
In the plunge to the creek, the car
landed on its nose and turned COM
pletely over, finally resting on its side
with the front end toward the road
and half submerged in water.
1t all happened so quickly the first
thing the mother realized was that
she was under water and pinned there
by the steering wheel. Her first
thought was for her babe, and fighting
frantically she released herself and
went to the infants rescue. She
found the basket containing the child
turned upside down and under the
water. .-.
A Filipino who witnessed the acci.
dent rushed to her relief and re-
ceived the baby from the mothers

hue Plantation. saw the accident from
his office and calling his men rushed
to the scene. He got there in time
to help Mrs. Midkiff from the water.
Mother and child safely on land.
stock was taken for injuries and 1t
was found that neither mother nor
babe had scratch on them-in fact,
baby Martha seemed to consider the
whole affair huge joke.
The car was taken out of the creek
this afternoon and beyond a demolish-
ed top and smashed front tenders,
seems to be not much the worse from
the experience.
Mr.. Midkiff just returned from
Honolulu this morning.

George Washington
First in Farming and in
Dressing, Too

EVERY schoolchd has heard:
~ George Washington, first in war; first in
peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen."
And they have come To know him general, n
statesman, and beloved by his feow-man.
There were other sides of Washington. In them,
too he first which is to say he in the fore
most rank.
"He ,cas pe,v eroct in all business as aceH as rer
shretcd at bargain" icrites Historian Henry Cabot
Lodge. And the tradition is that has noighbors
considered the general formidable man IN horse
trade, that most difficult Of all transactions"
We imagine that were our modern captains of in
dustry to devote their attention TO horse-trading,
they might prove very formidable at it.
Washington's business was farming
"He managed his plantations entirely himself"
says Lodge IN has biography OF tic first president,
aud did IL nell. He keic the qualities Of each field,
and the rotation Of its crops No improvement IN
agriculture and no ingenious Invention escaped has
attention"
1t is probable that were Washington alive today,
and on his farm, his would be machine-farm. The
tractor would have replaced the horse, and scrub
stock would not be tolerated.
He was you observe, first in farming.
But that isn't all of this many-sided first pres
ident.
He was first in dressing.
His youthful fancy strongly leaned toward hand
some dress, Senator Lodge assures us, adding: HE
never ceased to take an interest in it. He had the
best possible taste and the keenest sense OF what
was appropriate"
How many of our good farmers also are immacu-
late dressers?
How many of the worlds great generals also are
formidable horse traders?
How many of our able business men are good
farmers?
How many of our presidents have been good bust
ness men?
And how FEW of our best dressers are presidents
generals, captains of industry, leading farmers?
Only one American has been first in all.
That man of many firsts was born 1S9 years ago
today, at Bridges Creek, Va.
