KAPAA NOTES

The Juan Carlos tailor shop and
general store closed it doors last
week, the general business depres-
sion being apparently the cause.
The principal creditors are Theo. H.
Davies & Co., of Honolulu and s.
NJ. Tomas Co, of Kilauea.
Kauluna Kaauwai and Miss Daisy
Comrades. well known locally were
married at Anahola on Saturday af-
ternoon Mr.. Kaauwai is a member
of the local police department.
Eddie Fernandes and his fun max
ers, side shows, etc, were here for
four days last week. and despite the
alleged hard times, departed appar-
emily at the long end of the game.
For the first time for more than a
year, Antoine Fernandez, local NOV
lie man, watched the crowd with a
smile last Sunday. The theater was
full nearly every seat being taken
before the performance started to
see that much advertised feature,
"The Sheik."
Albert Bush, homesteader, until
recently with the Ahukini Railway
& Terminal Co. has joined the staff
of Coney & Morris, contractors. and
Is now stationed at Hanalei in con-
nection with the construction of the
new Hanalei government wharf.
B. Y. Lee, proprietor of Yuen Kee
Chop Suey house, is so enthusiastic
over the success of the Makes
that he not only treated them to a
special dinner on Monday evening
for their victory over Makaweli last
Sunday, but he has promised that
If the Makes make it three straight
this year, he is going to outdo his
former efforts, and give the team
another Chinese dinner, better than
the first. in regular Canton style

The Kauai Fair Is
Shaping Up Fine

The success of the Kauai Fair is
assured. The planters association of
this island will enter an exhibit of
sugar cane which will eclipse any
attempt heretofore made in this
line, and the Kauai Fruit e Land
60, Letd. will prepare an exhibit
of pineapples both of the whole and
canned fruit, which will be most
ambitious to say the least. Demon
strations by these large concerns
will be educational in their nature
ard may help those who are largely
Interested in these two industries.
The poultry raisers of Kauai will
also present their wares for exhibit
ton, and as great many people
are Interested in chickens, ducks
and turkeys, these ought to be OF
value to the visitors. Some valuable
animals will be exhibited.
A great deal is being said about
polar pies, and the name being new
to a number of Kauaians, questions
are flying fast and furious as TO
what they are. But really there is
rothing mysterious in are name. We
do not really know what they are
but are venturing guess that the
Mokihana Club, who will import
these pies, will give us some frozen
sweet which will be most delicious.
Perhaps our guess is wrong, but
we are willing to let Saturday, May
27th, decide the issue.
Those who are directing the fair
wish to thank those who are giving
unstintingly of their time in the
preparation of the great event. The
fact that it is going to be a com
munity fair has secured the cooper
alton of the various elements in
| our midst.
REMEMBER THE DAY, Saturday
May 9th, 10 o'clock a. m. to mid
night.

PRECINCT CHANGES
SUGGESTED; SECRETARY
TO INVESTIGATE

Raymond c. Brown, secretary of
the territory, arrived this morning
to investigate the proposition of di-
yiding some of tie local election
precincts into smaller or different
groups. Two of the precincts under
consideration are Hawaiian and Ka-
paa.
1t is said that the voters in the
Kalaheo have requested that they
be placed in a precinct by itself
owing to the distance that the vot-
ers are Obliged to travel to vote.
A change for the Kapaa home
steaders has also been requested by
some of the voters from the home
3teads for the same reason.
No decision has been reached by
MIR. Brown in regard to the change
but he is consulting with County
Clerk j. NJ. Kaneakua on the de-
tails necessary.

Kilauea Planning
Big Entertainment
For July Fourth

Kilauea is planning a bigger, bet
.Cr. more exciting and more cos
mopClitan Fourth of July this year
than ever before. And they are an
nounci"g right here and now what
they are going to do.
On the second of July the annu-
al agricultural show and fair will be
staged in the community house.
This fair was iraugurated two years
ago. Tie first year the show was
good. There was IA much larger dis
play of kilauea grown fruits and
vegetables than the public thought
could possibly be raised there. But
the seco2d year -hCwed that the
first year was Cnly a starter. That
agricultural fair compared favorably
with the fruit and vegetable ex-
hibit of the territorial fair 1t would
have been hard to think of an is
land grown fruit or vegetable that
WAS missing.
Whether the show this year will
beat last years performance or not
remains to be seen. But certainly
the hackers of the institution are
putting forti. more thought into the
affair they are making their an
nouncements earlier and the resi-
dents of the district are taking
keener interest than ever before.
On the night of July 3 the Kilau-
ca Komedios, a Coil of Live Wire
Attractions from the Universal Short
Circuit in Vaudeville de Lux, follow
cd by Komc Kostume dance is to
take place. This will be typical
Kilauea entertainment with all its
Jazz. surprises and jollity. So well
known and advertised are these en-
lertainments becoming that it is
likely that the hall will not be able
to hold the crowd. Anyone planning
to enjoy a real, livewire time that
night had better make his reserva-
tions early.
On the Fourth of July the pro-
gram will be continued down at
| Kihili There will be water sports
of every variety, including Doc Pat
terson. Alapaki Smith and Scott
Pratt are to fight for honors as the
daintiest dressed bathing beauty.
Swimming races, diving contests,
boat and canoe races-all will do
their part in making the day sue
cessful. Fuller details of the program
will be announced at a later date.
Keep these dates in mind.

in the work of the Y. NJ. c. A. and
other student body activities and on
graduation returned to Honolulu to
promote association work among
the English speaking Japanese of
the Nuuanu branch. In training ard
education Mr.. Watada is well fitted
for the type of work lie comes to
Kauai to undertake.
The county program as il is be-
ing promoted by the Y. Nj, C. A.
in other places has been demonstrate
ed during the past eight months as
applicable to local conditions. More
than 800 boys and young men are

DEMPSEY CAN MAKE
WILLS LOOK EASY,
DOPESTER BELIEVES
Negro Heavy Does Not Stand
as Good a Chance as
Carpenter Did.
BY HENRY Il. FARRELL,
(U. L. stan Correspondence

NEW YORK, Aug. 31-Jack
Dempsey doesn't seem 20 be troubled
over the prospects OF a fight with
Harry Wills-and he shouldn't be.
Wills may be. and perhaps he is,
the best contender for the title in
the heavyweight class but he does
not stand such a big chance 20 beat
the champion as his friends claim
Dempsey can punch faster and hit
harder than Wills. He is much fast
er on his feet. a better boxer and he
can take II downstairs or on the
chin. Nothing else Is 20 be desired
Georges Carpenter has the fastest
moving. most accurate right hand in
the ring and he gets moro behind
his punch than the less skilled Wills
does. When the Frenchman couldn't
get Dempsey with his right, Wills
does not stand 20 do II.
Wills has won all his big fights a.
close quarters Many maintain he
fights foul By holding and hitting II
might not be fair 20 call him a foul
fighter but Il is certain that he is a
rough worker.
Dempsey excels at the very kind
OF a fight that Wills would carry 20
him II the colored challenger fol-
lowed his usual style against him.
