Tho meeting at tlio Tip Top Fridayevening was perhaps, on tho whole,tho best of tho series of patrioticmeetings held on Kauai.

Mr. Warner, of tho Y. M. C. A.,

Prof. Harper with a wordof explanation and appreciation, and

then ho took charge with character-istic vigor and efficiency, betokening

much ability and experienceBy the way of getting the audience

warmed up for tho occasion, he ledthem In some very hearty and vigor-

ous singing of familiar patrioticsongs. This was by way of intro-

duction to tho address of tho evening' in which ho hold tho audience spell-

bound and charmed for an hour ormore while he gave them graphic and i

vivid experiences of Chateau Thierryand other sections of tho French front.Combined with a first-han- therefore,vivid knowledge, of what ho wastalking about, there was a freedomand facility in the uso of high classEnglish which was most enjoyable.Tlfero was also a pleasing personalityand a dignity of character behind itwhich gave it charm and weight.

Following tho address the WorkingReserve medals were distributed totho boys and girls of the Lthue dis-

trict entitled to them. Unfortunatelyit was a stormy evening, so that theHanamaulu section was not repre-sented, and many even, from Lihuewere missing, but gradually tho stagefilled up as were called out

tho audience applauding heartily asthey went up one by one, especiallywhen several girls were added to thenumber.

- The meeting was closed with thoRinging of America.

Last Wednesday evening at a meet-ing in the Kilauca Social Hall, Prof.Harper gave a very interesting talkon tho war. A good deal of patriot-ism was stirred up among the variousnationalities represented. The work-ing reserve boys who were presentresponded with numerous patrioticsongs.

A similar meeting was held outdoors on tho athletic field at Maka-wel- l

on Thursday afternoon. Prof.Harper Is an entertaining talker andat both meetings kept his audiencebound in bonds of sympathy forour boys over there and for our

'wonderful allies.

Power Plant Repairs

Mr. Thurtell, managing electricianof tho Waiahi Electric Company, ishaving a busy and arduous tlmo of itoverhauling tho generating plant, andthe transmission line, to put thingsinto good shape for tho winter service.

The excessively damp climate oftho generating station in tho moun-tains is very hard on tho generators,and ono of them is pretty badly burn-ed out, so that It will need some con-

siderable repairs. Thanks to thosplendid concrete poles, tho trans-mission line Is, on the whole, in goodshape, but the wooden cross arms andthe wire guys arc giving out, and thotowers at either end of the main linoare pretty well gone.

The necessary repairs will Involveoccasional intermissions in tho Howof the current, which, however, willbo for tho shortest possible tlmo, andat hours when thoy will causo tholeast possible Inconvenience. Tho

i' plant has been running for four orflvo years now, and In all this timetho regularity and reliability of thoservico has been pheuominal andmost commendable.

YEAR

There have been many calls for aidfrom tho various organizations thathave taken upon themselves tho Herculean task of caring for the needy!people In the war ravaged districts

'of Europe. Very recently wo havebeen asked to help tho French babies,and the request has met with a genor- - j

oils response. But tho small Bcligansarc quite as needy, for it is their,homeland that has been tho greatest j

sufferer during tho last four terrible;years. We have heard very little indeed about any special Belgian reliefwork and It Is quite a year sincetho public of Kauai has been askedto contribute toward such a fund.

Now, however, wo are to have anopportunity of helping and of doing it'in a very pleasant manner. Mrs. '

Swan is to give a Belgian gardenparty at her homo in Grove Farm, j

Lihue, next Saturday afternoon atfrom two until five o'clock. The ad-- 'mission will bo ten cents, and thopublic is Invited. Coffee or tea-.an- d

cookies or sandwiches will bo servedfor twenty-fiv- e cents. Lemonadetho regular old fashioned kind tencents the glass or two for a quarter.Genuine souvenirs from the front willbe on exhibition and for sale. Thomoney raised is not alone for thohelpless babies of Belgium but a por-

tion of It is for tho helpless agedpeople. They have passed throughsorrow and suffering beyond anythingwc, in our peaceful Island, are capa-

ble of comprehending, and they nowappeal to us to give them aid thatwill enable them to endure until theirkinsmen can reassume the responsi-bility of their care.

A Youthful Forger

Judge Lylo A. Dickey lias under consideration the caso of a fifteen yearold Chinese boy of Waimea who ischarged with forgery and raising acheck.

Mrs. C. B. Hofgaard of "Waimea,had made out a check to HoinrichRoinhart for seventy-fiv- e cents andturned tho same over to tho Chineseboy asking him to deliver It to Rhoin-har- t.

Evidently wishing to receivea commission for his share in thetransaction, tho Oriental raised thocheck to $75.00, took It to tho Waimeabank and endorsed It with tho forgedname of Hoinrich Roinhart. Onpresenting the check at tho bank howas questioned regarding his name,and maintained that ho was Bein-

hart. In spite of his Oriental appear-ance, which did not seem to coincidewith the indorsement on the check,tho bank paid over tho $75.00 calledfor.

Not wishing Rclnhart to loose outon tho transaction, tho Chinese boydisplayed, neat faithfulness in thetrust placed In him by actually deliver-ing seventy-fiv- e cents to Bheinhart,only keeping $74.25 for himself.

Tho forgery was noticed at thobank soon after tho money had beenpaid out, and tho culprit was roundedup beforo ho had a chance to spendhis ill gotten gold. Judge Dickey hasnot yet decided just what course topursue In tho matter, as tho boy'srecord ha3 been perfectly clean up tothis time.

II. H. Jones, representing tho Stand-ard Oil Company, and II. Faria, withArmand Weill of tho defunct Loven-son-Woi-

Company, are at the HotelLihue.

The Lihue Mi

..The LIhuo Mill, with tho recent ad-

ditions and reconstructions, is wellup In tho front ranks of tho mills ontho Islands for efficiency and economy.Among tho additions to tho equipmentfor this season may bo mentioned anew 25 ton vacuum pan, and an ex-

tension of ono of tho old pans tomako It a 20 ton pan. There are nowfour pans, two of which aro used forhigh grades, and tho other two forlow. Tho roof of the mill has beenraised so that tho uppor regions arolight, airy and comfortablo. Thoplant is now good for about 100 tonsa day of 21 hours,

A serious accident happened to atruck belonging to the Hanapepostoro recently which might have beenmuch more serious had It not beenfor tho timely aid which was renderedby tho Kauai Trading Co. Tho truck j

was returning from Kapaa and hadreached the foot of the hill on thomain road west of Koloa, when agasoline llro developed, duo probably,to leakage from tho gasoline feedpipe. The driver Immediately de-

spatched his helper to Koloa for as-

sistance. Mr. Jacobs of tho TradingCompany, sent ono or two of his menwith a two and a' half gallon flro ex-

tinguisher, and later followed, himself.When' he got there tho chemical firoextinguisher was exhausted and thofiro was under full headway, havingmelted off the fittings of tho supplytank, and a great sheet of firo wasIlaming up, fed from tho tank. Real-izing that tho truck was doomed Ifthe tank staid there, they ripped offtho seat so that they could get at it,and then at considerable risk, got aropo round It and snaked it out of thotruck and into the ditch, where thoywore ablo to smother the fire byshoveling dirt onto it. The damageto the car will amount to $500 or ?G00,

covered by insurance. Much creditis duo to Mr. Jacobs for his courageand executive in dealing with thesituation.

If an extinguisher had been avail-able at tho start , tho fire could havobeen put out immediately, with llttloor no los3. By tho tlmo the ex-

tinguisher got thorp the fire had gottoo big a start.

Moral Always carry an extinguish-er in your car.

THE ANNUAL MASQUERADE

Invitations aro out for tho annualmasquerade ball to bo given Tuesdayevening, December 31, by tho employ-ees of Makawell Plantation. Thisaffair is looked forward to with agreat deal of pleasure by tho youngfolks of Kauai, as tho good people ofMakawell aro royal ontortainors and

,8eo to it that everybody has a goodtime.

Tho Walnlha power transmissionlino Is now some twelve or thirteenyears old, and for some tlmo back ithas shown serious need of overhaul-

ing and reconstruction. Tho rebuild-

ing of thirty-fiv- e miles of high tensionlino through the inaccessible fastnessof tho mountains was a difficult prob-

lem, and to accomplish this withoutshutting down tho plant or Interfering with tho transmission of thopower was a still more difficult ono,but both have been solved very successfully.

In order not to Interfero with thoworking of tho line, tho rebuildingwas done in sections of a third of amllo at a tinier tho new section beingsot Up along side of tho old lino 20

feet away, and when this was allready tho power was switched overonto tho new section. This meant, ofcourse, that tho released wire andinsulators and any other material thatwas good on tho old line, could bomoved ahead onto tho advanco sec-

tion of the new line.Strange to say, the wire stranded

aluminum has stood the years ofservice wonderfully well, being prae-ticaif-

as good as new. Tho insula-torsals-

have stood tho servico verywell! It Is tho wooden poles andcros irms that have deteriorated.Bocauso of the short life of thesewooden poles, and of the phenomln-all- y

high cost of them at present, aneffort has been made to replace themas far as possible with concrete po'.oswhich shall bo good for all time.Those poles aro being made on thogrqund and really cost little morothan cedar or redwood, and aro oasierto install because of less cost of trans-portation.

This work of reconstruction hasbeen going on all summer and is nownearly completed. It has boon dono.undortho supervision of Mr. Menc-fogllo- ,

manager of the Wainiha plant,who has given it his close personalattention, being in camp a good dealof the time along tho line.

That tho arrival in Now York o.'

said to bear the words "Made In Germany," may possibly set a precedentfor tho flood of German goods to bosont into this country from neutralcountries on tho plea that thoy areno longer owned by citizens in Ger-

many, Is tho contention of ItichardM. Hurd, chairman of the BoycottCommittee of the American DefenseSociety. In a statement mado publirat tho national headquarters of thosociety, he says:

Made In GermanyToys"Tills hugo shipment of toys bear-

ing tho abominated words "Made inGermany," arrived in New York onWodncsday on board the steamshipNIeuw Amsterdam, of tho Holland- -

American Lino, which mado tho voy-- ;

ago from Rotterdam under guaranteeof safety by the German Government.It Is reported that the Governmentofficials at Washington admitted thisImportation on the ground that thetoys were bought and paid for beforethe United States declared war on theHuns, and havo been in storage inHolland for tho past two years.

Beware of thisPrecedent"It is my sincere hope that this will

not set a precedent for a flood ol

Gorman goods to bo sont into thiscountry from neutral countries on thoplea that Lhey are no longer ownedby citizens of Germany and, hence,that tho money paid for them docsnot directly help Germany. Tho Indirect help to Germany is entirely,obvious in that If tho United States'absorbs German products now hold byneutrals, they will leave fi vacuum Inneutral countries into which Germanycan dump her products immediately;after tho end of tho war, or oven to-

day. This Is ono of Germany's strate-- 1

gic moves rn hor war for economicworld domination, tho plans for whichhave gone on steadily, despite her un-

favorable military situation.Beware of CommercialConquest"Shall American babies handle toys

made by the baby-killer- s of Germany?Americans should never forget thattho present war is only a part ofGermany's plan to domlnato tho worldcommercially, and th- -t oven if c'.iefalls to gain tcnlloriai rulnrgprncti,she has won tho war It sh i nic;'c t

from It in a stronger economic position. All Germany's actions in thewar havo taken tho commercial factorinto consideration; tho destruction ofkilled and neutral merchant ships isaimed to leavo Germany, after thowar, tho water carrier of the world;in Belgium and Northern France, thoremoval of machinery, tho destructionof factory buildings and tho deportation of trained factory operatives isaimed to remove Industrial competi-tion.

And a Little Child Shall Lead ThemBy L. W. de Vi Norton

This has nothing to do with the

Good Book, neither does it even con-ter-

our good Food Commissioner, but

it concerns each one of us neverthe-

less, and has to do a great deal with

our duty towards our victorious fight-

ing armies, our Government and our-

selves. Therefore let us read. mark,

learn and inwardly digest it. if we are

reallv interested in aDy of thesethings.

Probably many will remember an'amusing picture of a bedraggled look- - j

ing hen, with a woe-bego- expression.leaning against a doorway in an atti- -

tude of utter pessimism. She was

disgusted with life in general and

with mankind in particular and. as

a tear ran down her cheek, she said

"After all. what's the use? Today,

we're eggs, and tomorrow we'rebioonjjn' feather dusters!" That was'on a par with the well-know- adage to

the effect that life is ;u.st on thing

after another, for we may well stythat life, today, is ;ust one tr;v afteranother, and to socrer have w

one of her great utters at a time of

dire stress.But stay a moment. Have we gone

over the top in all our undertakings?Have we the right to crown ourselveswith the laurels cf the victor and tobe lauded before all America as anexample of the highest form of loy-

alty aLd patriotism?No, Kir, we have not. We Lave

done magnificently, but our task is

not yet complete, and it cannot be

complete until we have met our obli

gations and discharged the whole of

our debts to the Nation.In what have we failed? Here is

the whole proposition in a nutshell.We have failed in one respect only,but in that respect we are still five

hundred and fifty thousand dollars in

the hole. The Nation asks us tobuy War Savings Stamps to thatanount before the end of the year,ana there are no two ways about it.it'r one of the things that has to bedone. end. since Hawaii does not knowih-- meaning of final and definite fail-ure, it ie GOING TO EE DONE.

What precedent have we for doingthiE? We have, surely, two of them.First, we have the magnificent ex-- f

isple we have provided for ourselvesby the performances that have madeHawaii an honored name throughoutthe continent. aLd second, we Lave as;:'U greater precedent, which the textof this little preachment supplies. "Alittle child shall lead them."

What are the children doing? Letme tell you. They are setting us anexample of thrift and loyal patriotismtbat should sink right down into theheart of each and every one of us

and lead us to try and copythem. In the Central Grammar Schoolthere is a !:ttie girl, but she has aheart of gold and a determination fedby the fire of loyalty that shouldmake us honor her all the rest of herlife. This little girl went out and gotbusy last October. She put energyand impulse into her work; infectedall whom she Eaw with the spirit ofloyalty from her brave little heart,and. by the end of the month Lad soldWar Savings Stamps to the tune ofover VI .DOC'.OC: ' I do not give hername, but it ought 'o be emblazonedin letters of gold on the honor boardsof the nation.

And thjs is but one instance of theway in which the little children areleading us in the lesson of patriotism.The Junior Academy out at Punahouopened its campaign on the Ivtb ofOctober. Ey the end of the monththose little kiddies Lad accounted fornearly 1 4. 0 '.'.. (( worth of War SavingsStamps, and tad 4 Colonels. 3 Majorsand li Captains in their regiment.Bless their loyal little hearts: Thev

are still going wrong, and tby are nrtgoinr to stop a kne as we elderscontinue to fail in cur duty.

The I'unabou Elementary School ac-

counted for 2.S?1 Thrift Stamps and44 War Savings Stamps in the firstweek of its campaign, while the child-ren of the Kauai High School turnedin J3 i"f..'X' in only twelve days. And.speaking of Kauai, there is one tinylittle school at Kilauea on that island.Its pupils are few in cumber and eopoor in pocket that many of themhave hardly any pockets at all. Andyet. they have accounted for 1273.00worth of War Savings Stamps in lessthan a month. God bless their littlehearts.

Another tiny school at Holualoa.away over in Kona. Hawaii, whosepupils are almost all children of Ori-entals. Las already turned in t3S"0.S0.with more to follow. wLile the kiddiesof the West Hawaii district, adminis-tered by that splendid woman. MissBertha Ben Taylor. Lave bought withtbeir own little nickel, no less thanID. 703. 73 worth of stamps. Think ofthe poverty of these little tots andthen remember that this sum repre-sents tZ.'.2 epr heed. Isn't it just arecord to be mighty proud of?

The list could be extended overcolumns of this paper, but space islimited. We have already more thana dozen full generals of the W. S. S.Army, among the islands. Do yourealize that for a child to attain thisrank, he or she must account for

worth of War Savings Stamps?It may be more easy for the child ofhigh social standing, but the odd partof it is that nearly all the Generalsin the Territory are the children ofthe very poor.

Is my text justified or not? Arethe children setting us a high exampleor are they not? Are we proud ofthem, or are we not? Of course weare. but are we going to let it go atthat, or are we going to get out and dosome. digging on our own?

It all comes back to the fact thatwe owe JSDO.O'Xi.OO on a debt of honor:and debts of honor always have to bepaid. Even the little kiddies realizethat much, and tbey are nobly doingtheir bit in order to help us pay it off.How about our Christmas presents?Can we make them help? The OahuSug r Company is giving a 3 percentChristmas present to its stockholders,in addition to its usual dividend. Thatmakes a little gift of over J24'1000.00.almost half of our War Savin?

"Asphalting at . Kalihiwai was ex-

tended up the grade to a point nearKilauea school.

"The buildings at the new Huleiaschool were completed at the middlebeen piped to the school. Grove Farmof November, but water has not yethas given permission to connect ahalf inch pipe with, their main neartheir stable which point of connectionis about half a mile distant from theschool.

"The roof of the main building atLihue school has just been repairedby covering it with a single thicknessof felt paper stuck to the old shingleswith hot asphaltum. Mr. Brodie wantshis cottage at Hanapepe overhauled.It appears that the water supply atKalaheo Water Works ran very lowduring the last few mouths and manyof the customers were out of waterrepeatedly, some for days at a time.Since the heavy rains two weeksago there is plenty of water whichwill probably hold up until nextsummer."

No money indemnities, no territorial ad-

justments, no overthrow of l'russian autocracycan relieve the arch-crimina- l and his guiltyadvisors from their personal responsibility forIhis war and its hideous consequences. Theymust sutler in their own bodies for their ownsins. The dead would rise from their graveson the battlefield if these monsters of crueltyand rapacity escape personal punishment.

We believe that an overwhelming majorityof American citizens will cry out in horroragainst any peace that docs not provide ade-

quate personal punishment for those who y

by their own acts brought upon theworld the greatest misery mankind has everknown.

REGISTER YOUR STAMPS

HOLDERS of War Savings Stamps arereminded that they can have their Stampcards registered at the post office so that theywill be practically safe from loss or theft.This is a very simple matter ami will be agreat safeguard against loss.

The Lihue post master informs us that so

thk garden island, Tuesday, dec. 10. iois

far he has registered only ."1 cards, whichseems a very small showing in view of the factthat there must be hundreds of holdings.

For those who have safety deposit boxesin the bank or iron safes at home it may notbe so necessary to register, but for the ordinarychild or plantation laborer who keeps his valu-

ables in a drawer, or on a shelf, or in a box,where thieves may easily break through andsteal, it will surely be the part of wisdom toregister. Do it now.

BETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

Editor the CJnnlen Island 1 wish to

call your attention to nil editorial thatappeared in your paper ot December3, 1918, from which I quote the

"The experience of the Bteamer"Harrington," Captain Sorenson, atI;ort Allen at that time, necessitatingthe ship having to leave its mooringsafter a hard struggle to prevent itfrom going on the rocks, and proceedto Honolulu, wherg the steamer ar-

rived on Tuesday, after a hard tusslewith the elements."

This statement is absolutely in cor-

rect, as the steamer "Barrangton"was in no danger whatever while atPort Allen, when she left her moor-ings, she had not the slightest troublein so doing, nor was there any strug-gle to prevent her from going on therocks, nor did she experience anytrouble on her trip to Honolulu.

I do not know where you got yourinformation regarding the "Barring-ton- "

having such' a hard struggle tokeep from going on the rocks at TortAlien, it would be well to ring up theundersigned. Harbor Master in chargeof Kauai Ports, for correct informa-tion, which will prevent any Biich un-

reasonable report from appearing' inyour paper.

Kindly correct your statement inthe Garden Island of December 3rd.under the heading, "Near Disaster atPort Allen.".

I must emphatically object to er-roneous reports regarding shippingat Port Allen.

Very truly yours,GEO. B. LEAV1TT,

Harbor Master, Port Allen.

The above complained of editorialwas based on a news item appearingin the Honolulu newspapers of Nov27th was written in good faith. Ed

4. 4. .5.

Editor the Garden Island We, theundersigned Chinese, some of us bornhere and others residents of manyyear past of these islands, most emphatically protest against the holdingup of the Chinese to the ridicule ofthe public as it was done by Mr.Viera in his performance in WaimeaPublic Hall on Saturday, the 7th insta performance which is to be repeated in other places on Kauai.

There may be no specific law toprohibit such a proceeding but it iscertainly tactless and offensive in theextreme and not likely to promotethat feeling, of tolerance, good feel-ing, and consideration existing be-

tween the many nationalities compos-ing Xhe population of these islands.

People of the Hawaiian Islandshave always been proud of the factthat all Nations here live harmoni-ously together and anything thatwould have a tendency to irritate orridicule anyone of the many racesshould be frowned upon and dis-couraged.Waimea, Kauai, Dec. 9th, 1918.L.

semblies out to hear Porf. Harper atKilauea, Makaweli and Lihue lastweek, the members of the U. S. BoysWorking Reserve and of the HawaiiJunior Working Reserve on Kauaiwere awarded their medals, the cere-

monies being in charge of Mr. Jay O.

Warner, director of the Reserve forthe county of Kauai.

It was a fitting tribute to the boysand girls that they should receivetheir medals under the thrill of Prof.Harper's-repor- t from the front. Forwere they not an important part ofthe forces back of the fighting linesand did not the U. S. Governmentrecognize them as .such? Surely, andnot only so but they are invaluableleaders in the vast work of reconstruction, in the immense business offeeding a famished world!

Mr. Warner, before awarding thebadges, explained briefly the historyand rules of the organization on themainland and in Hawaii. On the

mainland the Boys' Working ReserveIs over two years old and confined tohighschool and regularly employedboys between the ages of 16 and 21.

So successful has the movement beenthat many states have organized Jun-

ior Divisions, being careful to complywith the regulation principles of theChild Welfare Bureau.

In Hawaii, so many boys and girlsresponded to the appeal that it wasthought wise to organize the HawaiiJunior Working Reserve, under localmanagement, and adapted to localconditions. Girls may not be ad-

mitted to the Federal Division whichis officially organized under the De-

partment of Labor and known as theU. S. Boys' Working Reserve. In ad-

dition to the medal awarded to theboys of the Senior division, a servicebar is awarded to those who workedthe entire summer vacation period,and their names are enrolled at Wash-ington.

The Juniors however seem pleasedto be recognized by the territorialgovernment and with their medal,which was especially designed by Mr.Warner as executive secretary, amiapproved by Mr.. W. R. Farrington.territorial director of the Reserve.The badge was manufactured by thesame company making the seniorbadges for the federal government.

So important has the Reserve be-

come before the signing of the armstice that the Reserve designed andadopted a special uniform of the samecut and color of the Army uniformand approved by the War Department.Whether this will now be worn whilethe army is demobilizing is not de-

finitely understood as yet.It is officially estimated at Wash-

ington that the members of the Re-

serve by their extra work last summerproduced enough food to provide amillion people for one year. Hawaiicomes in for her share o this as theamount of pineapples canned andsugar cane planted by the boys andgirls last summer has swelled Ha-

waii's output very considerably andsugar planters and pineapple men, atfirst rather skeptical about the wis-

dom of bothering with such an orga-

nization of Hawaii's youth, now warm-ly praise it. At Makaweli, camp Bald-

win, alone enough cane was plantedby the boys to produce normally 1000

tons of sugar.The Reserve is to bo conducted

another year, Jan. 20th being the dateof the national enrollment. Mr. G. A.

Young, of Nuuanu Y. M. C. A. hasbeen appointed executive secretary.

HomesteadersBy G. W. SAHR, County Agent

i

Organize

With the labor Bituntlon ho acute

the homesteaders find that the har-

vesting of their crops is a very un-

certain proposition. Accordingly thehomesteaders of the Knpnhl sectionof Kapaa have taken steps to form a

cooperative organization to handle

the harvesting problems.

In past years it has been customary

for the Makee Sugar Company to

furnish labor for the harvesting of the

homesteaders' cane. During the lastcutting season a few of the planters

hired contractors to harvest theircane, while others waited for theplantation to furnish the labor.

As it will be utterly Impossible for

the plantation to furnish any considerable amount of labor for this comingseason, the homesteaders are driven

to making some provision for themselves, and hence they are forming

this organization for the solution ofthis and other problems which may

come up.

Mr. II. Wolters. manager of the

Makee Sugar Company, suggestedsome time ago that he would help

them whenever he could, and among

other things, said that the plantationwould advance money for the purpose

of establishing a labor camp of theirown if they would get together on theproposition.

Acting on this suggestion, Mr. A. M.

Souza, a prominent homesteader ofthe Kapahi section, devised a plan

for the formation of an organizationto bo known as "The Kapaa Home

steaders' Harvesting Association.Flans and estimates were made for

a camp that would accomodate fortymen, and the whole matter was thenbrought before a meeting of the home-steaders in an informal gathering lastSaturday evening at John Ornellas'store. The outcome of the discussionwas that they decided so to organizeand adopted the plans outlined bySouza. This involved a pro rata taxof each member according to theamount of cane to be harvested,which they estimated would come toonly twenty-fiv- e cents. The camp forthe forty men they figured wouldcost about ?3,000.

Manuel Aguiar promised to furnisha site for the camp "at a reasonablerental.

Another meeting was held the nextday, with John Raposa acting aschairman, at which definite stepswere taken to establish the camp andthe contract was let to Joe Aguiarto build the same.

There is ;no question as to theultimate success of the organization,if they only pull together, and exer-cise a reasonable degree of commonconfidence in one another; and if theyonly do this there is no doubt thatthey will all benefit thereby. Suchmutual benefit organizations havebeen tried before with great success.This is a fine start they have made,and it is to be hoped they will makeit go, in the interest of everyone involved, themselves, the Makee SugarCompany and the general public.

Since the heavy rains small farmershave been busy putting in plantingsof corn on various parts of the island.At Moloaa, a large planting has beenmade and has already made a littlegrowth.

,

In making corn plantings do notplant too cloae. The hills should be

feet apart. Experience has proventhat closo planting lessens the yield.Corn needs lots of cultivation, and 3ifeet-i- s about as narrow as it is pos-

sible to plant and allow the use of ahorse cultivator.

Lihue Plantation Company hasjust recently-- , completed a largo enclosed lumber yard directly behindthe mill.

STAND OF ALFALFA

Alfalfa will grow on your homestead. It adapts itself to all kinds ofconditions of soil and climate, exceptsour bog land, and even this can hedrained and limed and made suitablefor Bifalfa.

Alfalfa is rich in protein, the backbone of all feeding -- rations. Alfalfawill supply protein cheaper than anyother feed. Feed alfalfa and you cancut down the grain ration in your feed,without Injury to your stock. Alfalfais relished by work stock, pigs, dairystock and beef cattle. It can be fedto all kinds of farm animals and hasno superior as n hog pasture. BecauseIt is rich In protein, the very thingwhich corn and many other concentra-tes are deficient 1n, U helps balancethe ration, and makes It especiallyadaptable for young stock which require protein to build up the muscle.

No piece of ground will yield great-er profit to the owner than a fewacres of alfalfa, 'provided the work Isdone- - properly and a good stand issecured. Alfalfa adds humus to thesoil, and draws very little on the fer-

tility of the land.Alfalfa does well planted any time

of the year. It is best to avoid theseason of cut worms. In humid dis-

tricts deep plowing and harrowing ofthe land is all that is necessary beforeplanting. The plowing must be thoroughly done in order to leave thesoil in good condition. More thanone plowing may be necessary, depending on the condition of the landThe final harrowing should bo donewith a smoothing harrow, in order toleave the surface in condition to re-

ceive and sprout the seed. Plant theseed shallow, covering it with lessthan half an inch of soil. If the fieldis weedy plant in rows 18 inchesapart. This will allow, for cultivationwith a wheel hoe. If your land is notvery weedy the seed may be broadcastat the rate of 20 lbs to the acre, working the seed with a brush harrowafter it has been broadcast. Do notsow when the land is dry and bakedfrom the sun. The best time to plantis a few days after a rain when thesoil is still moist, tut not too moistto be worked. Innoculation is hardlyever necessary under our conditions,If the soil is very poor, manure isbetter than fertilizer, and it should beapplied before the land has beenplowed.

In dry regions, alfalfa must beplanted in level patches, or, if theland is steep, in furrows. It will notdo as well in furrows unless it ispossible to flood the entire surface ofthe soil with Irrigation water. Alfalfais so deep rooted that ordinary irri-gation, such as practiced in cane culti-vation, does not reach all the rootsof the plant, and it will not grow asluxuriently as it should. Level patch-es produce the best yields, due to thefact that they may bo flooded withseveral inches of water at a time,allowing the irrigation water to soakdeep into the soil. Alfalfa need notbe irrigated frequently provided itreceives a heavy irrigation at theright time. One irrigation a monthis sufficient after the first cutting,provided sufficient water is appliedat the timo of irrigation.

When planting alfalfa in patches.planting in rows has been found mostsatisfactory for our conditions. RowsIS inches apart are suffcient to allowfor cultivation with a wheel hoe.Sow shallow as In planting underhumid conditions. The patchesshould be flooded as soon as possibleafter planting to prevent the seedfrom baking in the heat of the sun.Until the young plants have attaineda considerable root growth they needvery frequent irrigations, sometimestwico a week if the weather is verydry and warm. As the plants Increase in size they require less water,as the roots will bo able to draw ontho moisture deeper in the soil.

Do not try to save seed in plantingalfalfa. Plant thick; using 20 to 30lbs. of seed to the acre.

At Kekaha, N. Xasu and other Japanese fanners who havo leased smalltracts of sandv lowland from tlieKnudsen estate, are also taking advantage of Die weather and plantingtheir corn.

ANCIENT CIVILIZATION OF HAWAII i

Mr. Augustus Knudson delivered a

very Interesting address with tho

above title before the recent teachers'convention. Ho spoke substantially

as follows:"Wo are apt to think of the early

Hawailans as a savago race. Rutthis la not so. Many years beforo theadvent of the missionaries to theseIslands several competent scientificInvestigators came hero and mademoro or less careful s'tudles of thocondition and attainments of the peo-

ple, and reported them to the world.

Evidence of- Early. .Navigators

beginning with Cook, these Investi-gations wore continued oven morocarefully and Intelligently by Van-

couver and La Perouse. And thesevisitors roport very favorably of thoadvanced condition of the people.They recommend the Polynesian Is-

lands as safe to visit, so much sothat Cook gave the distinctive name"Friendly Islands" to ono of theearliest groups ho visited. In theother Islands of the Pacific they foundno government, no proper authority, nolaw and order, but In tho PolynesianIslands they found these essentialelements of civilization well develop-ed.

"The population of the Islands whenCook visited them was probably amillion and a half; the Island of Kauaihaving 100,000. That a million anda half human beings should exist andthrive on so limited an area, andwith such limited resources, involvesa large degree of organization.

"In some respects, to be sure, thoywere crudo and brutal, just as agreat deal in the Bible seems crudeand brutal. They lived in a differentage and had a different outlook onlife.

An Educated -- .People"They wero an .educated people.

They did not have any books to bosure, but books are not essential toeducation. Some years ago an ontomologist came to tho Islands to makea collection of bugs and beetles.When he came to Kauai we huntedup an old Hawaiian who was familiarwith these things in a Hawaiian way,and he gave him a long list of Hawaiian bugs, and told him how andwhere he could find them. Acting onthese instructions the collector wentout, and after a long and carefulsearch found about one third of them;ana many of these were now toscience. When President Jordan, ofStanford, the great authority on fishes,was here on the Islands, some onotold him of a sea-snak- that was reported to be found in our Island

. waters. Jordan simply scouted theidea. It could not bo found in theselatitudes. They got hold of an oldli&berman at tho market who assuredtlicm that there WAS such a snake,gave it a Hawaiian name, and saidlie would get ono for them. Ho sentword to Kaneohe and ono or twoother places on the Islands, and in afew days they had specimens fromeach of the places. Tho same is trueof the birds, and of tho plants. Thoold Hawaiian botanist would go intothe mountains and no single plantwould faze him. He would know themall, and havo names for them all.

"They wero an educated people.And education for them did not meana few years of schooling, which theypromptly forgot when they got out ofEchool, but It was a life long devotionlo tho absolute mastery of tho artir profession which they had under-taken.

Favored Position ofWomen"Another significant evidence of a

high degree of civilization was thofavored position of women amongthem. Actually the Hawaiian womanpossessed more freedom and wastreated with more consideration, thanis her modern sister In these days,say in England. She was never thochattel of man, as sho is in too manyso called civilized lands. Sho wasalso entitled to the care and disposi-tion of her children.

"1 admit that there are some Indi-cations which seem to contravenethis point of view. Recently when Ij.'ave this same talk beforo tho Hono-lulu Historical Society, I was unguard-wante- d

to ask any questions I would(! enough to suggest that if any ono

endeavor to answer them. And thisquestion was put to mo, 'Why thenwere women not allowed to cat ba-

nanas?' I confess that I was non-plussed for the moment, and couldn'tgive any satisfactory answer. Butthinking it over since I havo cometo tho conclusion that bananas wouldbe too fattening, and for that reasonthoy wero tabued.

"Tho old Hawaiians wero a busypeoplo, much lean given to idlenessthan they are now. The monumentalworks of a public nature fish ponds,terraced and walled up taro lands,roads, ditches, etc., aro an eloquenttestimony to the tireless industry of

tho race. Alexander Campbell, a sail-

or who was unfortunate enough tohavo both his feet frozen on thoNorth-Wes- t Coast, so that they had tobo amputated, and who came to hoIslands In 1S09, and remained herofor a year, moro or less'ln tho employof Kamohamcha as a minor chief,speaks in tho highest terms of tho In-

dustry of tho people: ho know of noland in any part of tho world whichequaled theso Islands In the industryof Its people.

Richness of theLanguage"We aro apt to think of tho Hawai-

ian language as mdngro and defective,inadequate to the expression of thofiner shades of thought and meaning.But this is a mistake. It was a lan-guag- o

wonderfully rich and floxiblofor tho needs of the peoplo, and alongmany lines it outran oven the Englishin variety and fullness of expressionThat tho language of tho modern Hawaiian Is cramped and poverty-strlc- k

en, this is no reflection on the languago of his fore-father- They werewoefully handicapped in an industrialand constructive way by lack of metals. Thoy had no Iron, or copper, andwere thus precluded from tho largeIndustrial possibilities which go withtheso valuable metals. They hadnothing but wood and stone, and thestono was of poor quality. Whereothers had obsidian, jado or flint, thoHawailans had only lava, mostly softand porus, and at best, in the basalticform, unable to take much of a cutting edge. Yet, notwithstanding thesehandicaps, consider what tho Hawaiians wero able to accomplish by meansof industry and skill, the great canoesthoy heaved out of koa logs, and thobeautiful calabashes and other articlesof furniture that they fabricated withrude stono adzes that would seem tous unfitted to cut butter.

WonderfulNavigators"As navigators they hold very high

rank. In their frail canoes they frequently made distant voyages acrosstho trackless Pacific extending to--'000 or 3000 miles. And they didthis not by blind chance, or phenomi- -

nal good luck. When they set out forTahiti they knew which way to go,and just how to get there. To findsuch small islands in the wide wasteui sua, wunoui cnart, compass orchronometer, this manifestly betrayed a large amount of skill. Thoy didIt as tho best navigators do today, bythe stars. They wero no mean astronomers, in their way. They knewthat the world was round; they knewtho stars and constellations, and hadgiven names to hundreds of them.

ArtisticSense"Thoy were keenly alivo to a sense

of beauty, and largely appreciative ofthe things of beauty. You all knowhow passionately fond of leis tho Hawaiians are, and how the vines andflowers of the forest appeal to them.In the olden days feather work was afine art, much cultivated, and thefeather leis, and feather cloaks ofthose times vie in beauty and valuewith tho gems and Jewels, and royalregalia of modern courts.

Lillha Trains forCourt"When Bokl and Lillha accompa

nied Lihollho on his trip to Sngland,accustomed to wearing only the mostabbreviated skirts then current in Hawaii, Lillha made up her mind thatsho must acquire the art of handlinglong skirts and trains; so sho hadsail cloth skirts made on board shipand practiced with them, and withsuch good success that when sholanded in London and was invited toa Court reception sho bore herselfwith such grace and dignity thata prominent lady of tho Court said,"Would that our European princessescould carry themselves with tho graceana dignity of this dark-skinne- d

beauty!"Why a DecadentRace"How is it. you may ask. that so

sturdy and so intelligent a peoplowont to tho wall so easily? Why wasit mat so highly civilized themselves.they wero not able to stand tho civili-zation of tho world around them?Well, they fell an easy prey, I believe,to tho evils of civilization, to physicaldisease and destruction because oftheir age-lon- g protection from thesothings. Through exposure to generations of contact with physical diseasoa certain hardness has been developedin the modern civilized races. Theyhavo become immuno so that they canresist tho epidemic that attack theworld. But tho Hawaiians had a pure,unsophisticated blood, so to speak,which had not doveloped tho neces-- 'sary serum to render them immune,consequently they fell an easy prey totho epidemics, and tho constantlyprevalent diseases, to which contactwith European civilization cxnosedthem, and which tho whito mancould resist much moro successfullybecause of his long exposure to them.

THE GARDEN ISLAND, TUESDAY DEC. 10. 1918

A SturdyRace"That tho Hawailans wero physical

ly u sturdy race, no ono who knowsthem will deny. No sailors that wontup to tho Arctic In the old whalingdays stood tho cold and oxposuro llko(,ho Hawallausj And none 'of thovarious pcoplo3 who havo como totheso Islands ns laborers can com-pete with tho Hawailans In tholrability to perform the arduous tasksof the "uku-pau.- "

The Key Word:"Aloha""Hawaii has taught tho world a

wonderful lesson of hospitality andfellowship, In welcoming to her shoresthe various races that arc gatheredhere, and of treating thorn with thatcourteous and kindly consideration,which has mado them, ono and all,our brothers. And so doing she hasbut signified, in these modern days,the characteristic virtue of her an-

cient civilization, which finds expres-sion In that significant word sho hasgiven to tho world Aloha."

:0:THE FORNANDER FOLK-LOR- E

An additional volume of tho Fovnarrier eoltjetio of h ..ull.ui Anti-quities and Folk-Lor- o has just beenpublished by tho Bishop Museum. "

Fofiiandor, bo It said for the benefitof our malihlnl readers, was a clrcutJudge, resident at Lahaina some 30or 40 years ago Who devoted his sparetime most assiduously to the studyof the legendary and early history ofHawaii, and to tho collection andpreservation of Hawaiian moles andlegends. Much of this material 'heembodied in his monumental work,"Tho Polynesian Race," but ho left,In addition, a great mass of more orless undigested original materialwhich finally came into tho possessionof the Bishop Museum, and Is nowbeing put into shape, translated, andpublished. Tho editorial and trans-lation work has been done by Thos.G. Thrum, one of the very few menfitted for such a task. Tho presentvolume of 225 quarto pages is thosocftnd of the series. It consists oftho legendary stories of famous heroes and demigods of Hawaiian history.

Among those, that of Kowolo, is ofparticular interest to us, since tradi-tion ascribes to him tho conquest ofKauai, and a romantic reign over theIsland with his royal residence atllanamaulu.
