LEGION TO PRESENT The
VAUDEVILLE ON SEPT. 81

The American Legion amusement
committee has announced that it
will present it's vaudeville show at
the Tip Top theater on Saturday
evening, September 80, and that it
will present six of the snappiest
numbers yet offered to the Kauai
public.
THE Greatest Truth" a short one
act play, by Eugene O'Neil, who is
rated as Americas greatest play
wright, will be the headline feature,
while second honors will be taken
by Madamoiselle X, a psychic of
unusual power who will display her
unusual ability to read the minds of
members of the audierce That no
attempt is made to convey the mes
sage to her by signal will be shown
by the fact that the question asked
will be sealed in an envelope and
the envelope will remain unopened
in plain wiev of the audience during
the entire act. Tie only reason for
having the question written and
sealed in the enevelope is to have
check in case the person asking
the question claims that Madamoi-
selle X has made an error. No clair
voyant powers are claimed for Ma
damoiselle Y, as she makes no pre-
tense to foretell the future.
The other numbers on the pro-
gram include Adrian Englehard and
Jack Horner in "A Bit of Moon
shine" King Baggott and his train
ed rope and several other numbers
that the committee is not yet ready
to announce.

IN THE LIHUE DISTRICT COURT

Last week, proceedings in the Lii.
hue district court were enlivened by
the activity of Prohibition Agent j.
F. Bettencourt JT., who on Wednes-
day last descended on sleepy Mana
and nabbed three violators of the
Volstead act and a fourth was pick
ed up in Waimea valley; all were
brought to Lihue and were ha!ed
before Judge Hjorth.
All of the defendants were not of
the distilling class but used a fer
mentation process and Judging by
the muddy contents of the various
bottles and other containers brought
as evidence, their liquid contents
must have been of a less portable
class, as all of it went into the sew
ers.
Mrs. Tsugi Hiratsuka and Nrs. Aki
Haraguchi, both of Mana, were fin
ed a hundred bucks each, as were
X. Matsumoto of Waimea: money
seemed to be plentiful, as all paid
either in cash or by check.
Mrs. 3. Oshiro, also of Mana. plead
ed guilty to having liquor in pos
session and left the county build
ing minus s51; hers was a smiling
face but bordering on tears.
Raymundo Castoeras Of Kapahi,
who has been prowling around Grove
Farm for several weeks past was
found to be without visible means of
support; generally he was held re-
sponsible for several petty larcen-
les of chickens. eggs, etc; a month
in the bastile may cure him of his
pilfering habits and put him straight
again.
B. Valentine of Waimea, previously
fined for conducting a rent service
without a license, was up again,

own license to drive an auto. An,

Makee baseball team. the winning
team of the Kauai league for sew
eral seasons past, and under the
direction of John Unuiwi the ex-
pert on kalaua'd puaa, and his as
sistants, the rocks were heated rcd
hot and placed in the large imu,
several pals of cold water thrown
over them. to create a goodly sup
ply of steam, the packages of lau-
lau and the large pile of sweet po-
tatoes placed upon the redhot stones
and Immediately covered over with
ii leaves and then earth, to retain
the steam, and the viands left to
cook for four hours.
One o'clock was the hour set for
the feast to begin. but it took time
for all the preparations to be COM
pleted and it was o'clock pm. be-
fore the last of the hot lau-laus and
chunks of uala al (sweet potatoes)
were placed on the fern covered ia
bles, and the ice-cooled glasses of
grape juice distributed. But nobody
cared! Our appetites were improving
all the time, and we were all the
more eager to begin operations wien
at 2 o'clock the word was given by
Fred Mendes, the chairman of the
luau committee, that we could take
our seats, as the meat and veget-
ablcs, hot and steaming, were being
removed from the imu and carried
to the long, fern-covered tables.
There were over a hundred of the
Wailua homesteaders including their
families, seated at the festial boards,
besides several spectators, includ-
ing Max Bolte, the genial plantation
time-keeper, representing the Makee
Sugar company, at whose mill our
cane is ground, the county newspa-
per, the Garden Island, was repre-
sented by one of it's correspondents;
but another visitor whom We had
expected and hoped to have pres
ent with us, j. M. Lydgatc, territor-
ial land agent, was unable to partake
of the feast, being confined at his
home by illness, much to our re-
gret.
The food was delicious-the chick
en- and pork and potatoes being
cooked to a turn and most appetiz-
ing-and the way it disappeared, un-
der the combined assaults of the
hungry men, women and children
of this favored section, was most
remarkable-and could only be seen
to be believed. The usual accom-
paniments of true Hawaiian feast
were on the tables of course, the
opihi (shell fish, and limu edible
sea-moss), the kulolo, that most at
tractive Hawaiian dish composed of
taro and cocoanut meat, and other
even a dish of old fashion
ed New England apple sauce con-
tributed by Mrs. Ella G. Alexander, |
which was much enjoyed, though |
not strictly an old time Hawaiian
delicacy,
The afternoon was well on its |
close before the banquet was over,
and we all arose mot so spryly as
when we had taken our seats how
ever), feeling that we were certain
y maona (satisfied) as the Hawaii
ans say, and the vote was unanimous
hat next year the association should
repeat the gathering and that it be
made an annual affair.

Wailua Homesteaders Satisfied for Once;
This Time its the Inner Man However
By CHAS. II. DOLE

Saturday, August 26, was a day
to be remembered among the 81
lot-holders of the Wailua homesteads
in Hawaiian district. For this day,
at o'clock in the afternoon, the
Wailua Harvesting association gave
a luau, a feast, in celebration of the
ending of the associations harvest
ing of its first sugar cane crop.
At the town hail. of the associ-
alton, the Wailua (officially desig-
mated on the county school records
as the Olohena) school house, the
gathering was held, and a busy
scene it was, from the gathering of
the clans on Friday afternoon when
the school room was cleared of its
desks and tables and summer vaca-
ton dust, the lumber for the tables,
quantity of 1x12 pine boards that
Honk Lum, of lot "a, happened to
have on hand, hauled to the school
yard in Hoon Wong's big truck; and
the large circular hole dug in the
front yard for the "imu" or oven
wherein the pork, potatoes and 9th
er viands were to be cooked, in
proper Hawaiian style; up to Sun
day forenoon, when all the materials
were hauled away again and the
school house once more put into
apple pie order,
Late Friday afternoon the two fine
200-pound pigs-the piece de resist
ance of the feast to be-were put
hors de combat and properly dressed
down at Lot 4, Lum Young's premis-
es and, under the capable direction
of Mrs. Howard Young and her ka-
maaina assistants, were-also with a
dozen, or so chickens, cut up and the
small portions wrapped in ii leaves,
making the little packages known as
lau-lau, to be cooked, steamed, Ha-
waiian fashion, in the imu the next
day, then served to the participants
at the feast in the original packages,
hot and steamng and delicious.
Other enthusiastic members of the
association, including Maxine Costel-
10, Mrs. Young and Manuel Neverrete
in the latters automobile, were busy,
the same afternoon gathering the ii
leaves, to be used for the cooking, in
the neighboring hillsides and valleys,
and also the fragrant leaves and
boughs to festoon the sides of the
school room, and a quantity of the
fish-tail fern, the petals of which
were to be removed and spread over
the tables as soft covering on which
the food would be placed.
The principal part of the prepar
alton was the cutting up of the
meat, the pork and the chickens,
and tying up the small portions into
the lau-laus and this took the skill
ed workers until late Friday night to
finish, so that many of them did
not get home to bed until 2 o'clock
Saturday morning.
But it was worth it, they said, as
they tasted the savory results of
their work the next day at the
luau.
