it is due Sheriff Rice and his willing
workers for the preparation of the
armory, and to the various conces-
sionaires for the beautiful exhibits
presented to the public. Saturday
was gala day with us. The wealth
er. witch had been threatening all
thru the week. went on its good be-
havior early Saturday morning.
The Mokikana Clubs booth was
a busy hive all day long. The ladies
who presided over this booth were
kept busy passing out frozen sweets
over the counter Their fortune tell
ing booth was a happy thought, and
the fortune teller was kept busy
handing out words of cheer to those
who visited her.
The Women's Auxiliary Of the To-
cal Legion post were busy all day
popping corn Which other willing
helpers sold on the floor and on the
grounds.
The luau booth supplied the needs
of those who wanted who wanted
laulau and poi, while the chop-suey
satisfied those who hungered for
Chinese kaukau The boys across
the way sold ice cream to all COM
ers and the watermelon booth did
land office business. Even the
Kauai Fruit & Land company was
passing out free pineapples to Wis
itors to their booth.
The booths which contained the
Hawaiian handiwork were centers
of attraction all day long, and the
attendants were kept, busy disposing
of their wares. Mrs. Stewart sold
lyers for the benefit of the Mahelona
hospital, the Halau Kapiolani sold
their for the berefit of their ben
evolent fund, while Mrs. Brandt AIM
ed to advertise her Waimea We
mems Exchange. All these exhibits
were worth seeing.
Tie school exhibits were great
u

were doing in line of handwcrk. The
lahaula and bamboo worl; exhibited
by Anahola, Hanamaulu, Lihue, Ko-
loa, Makaweli and Hanaiei. and the
products of TIE domestic science
classes shown by the Lihue, Kilau
ca and Haralei schools were mar
vels of neatness and good taste. The
wood work exhibited by I-ihue, Ko
loa and Makaweli showed dexterity
in the use of the tools. These booths
were crowded all day long, and many
friends carried away souvenirs from
the various schools.
The sugar cane exhibit was an
other surprise. Large stalks Of cane,
tion of by-prOducts made an inter-
esting exhibit. The Hawaiian Sugar
company's exhibit of plantation by
products was an interesting as well
as an instructive one. 1t showed
how Hawaii came to be in the lead
in the manufacture of sugar; she
wastes nothing The Makee Sugar

so produced the heaviest stick Of
cane of 26 pounds. The Lihue Plan

of age. John Midkiff of Lihue, j. S.
b, Pratt of Kilauea and r. NJ. Allen
OF Koloa were the judges. They did
n prize for his collection of freak
canes.
The pineapple exhibit was also
an eyeopener. This young industry
is forging to the front very rapidly
so the interest which was taken in
the exhibits of the Hawaiian Can
neries company and the Kauai Fruit
& Land company put up was more
than the usually kind There were a
number of people who were direct,
ly berefitted as a result of having
seen these exhibits. The booth OF
canned products OF pineapples was
tastefully arranged and the varigat
! ed coloring of the labels produced
pleasing and harmonious effect
