DISTRIBUTORS Once again is the call of the baseball fan heard throughout tlip land; again the same dope is being tiling to the breezes regarding who is who on the diamond, and if rumor is any criterion, each town has succeeded in beating u p a bunch of ball tossers whose prowess means ultimate success. The Mc- TV Bryde team which all but won the ilJli Championship will be coni- nosed of some of the best material on the-island, having had the ad vantage of selecting the material through the surveylance of those who took part in the JuniorLeague games. The Waimeas will come into the diamond with renewed vigor and determination, while the Ma kawelis, the 1911 Champions, claim to have so greatly strength ened their crowd as to "render de feat impossible. Koloa, which as everyone knows, hung on the ragged edge of the " precipice of utter defeat during the past season, will be brought to the rank of the steel by the addition of Engineer Girvin. Lihue is browsing around with every indication of securing a team this year which can be bet on as penan t winners.

"Ready" was their answer to a reporter who askjd one of their members if steps had been taken towards the organization of their team for the coming series. And ready thev are, for during the past season, it was a conceded fact that this team was the best all-round aggregation of- players in the field. A meeting of the Kauai Athletic officials will probably soon be call-, ed for the election of officers and arranging the schedule for the com ing series.

But when things are breaking badlj 1 here's a call for Mr. Wood. .t The Baseball Fan The baseball fan, or bug, is a Human being whose lungs have been developed nt the expense o h i s gray matter. His name is derived from the word fanatic,' meaning one who is binrhonse. Aside fr oin lliakllltr the welkin ring and splitting the car drums of tne innocent bystander, the chief object of the fan's existence is to provide baseball magnates with motor cars and wealthy water, The bear hibernates during th cold months, but not the fan , Winter a n d summer he roams ; about seeking whom he mav talk to death.

"No, only an acquaintance," was the answer. But. I've seen vnn to gether frequently and " "Never theless," repeated the third person, he is a n acquaintance. I ha'e very few friends. And I value them too highly to class them with the rest of the people whom I know." Is there wisdom in this viewpoint? I wonder! In hard, cold fact, I suppose there is. In fancy, in ideality, I grow less in clined to draw the line. The theory that few people notice the colot of eyes any eyes is supported by a recent oc currence in Colorado. At election time husbands were allowed to re gister for their wives, but had to describe their personal appearance. The men got along all right till it came to the eyes, when many of them couldn't tell at all and had to go home to find out. I'd like to know what happened when they told what they'd come for! I f there wasn't a chill in the at mosphere, I much mistake m y guess. . Some one has been taking teacher to task ""Some one a superintendent of schools, I be lieve has said that the teachers must give better excuses when they stay away from school. At last we are getting even for the excuses the tedchers wouldn't accept in the days when we went to schbol! How many teachers have declined to give lis credit for the time we were not there, because the reason mother put down in the note was not convincing! Ah! well! It's a1 hard world!

S China forbids her woman to wear trousers at the very moment when some women in the United States consider wearing them! Western at tire will hereafti'i grace the persons of Chinese, both mile and female! Shirtwaists and skirts for women Ust fancy that, now, Hedda!" A college girl of mv acquaintance received a photogiapb during the holidays of one ot her classmates at Wellesley. a little Chinese girl; in this same skirt and shirtwaist. Very nice looking she is, too, and greatly liked. I ' m told. She would not be half so nice in the other attire. Neither would any of the wild nionien in this country who elected to wear it. But, will there be any such? Can there be anybody on earth so foolish? M I've been hearing lately about some extravagant people. They were highly disapproved, and it seems to be the consensus o f opinion that there is something all wrong a bout spending money when we haven t got it. But the nicest people I know are those who spend and spend freely. It is their natural impulse. I'm lean ing lately toward a new theory on this subject. I believe that the reason the highest type of person is generous is because that person is at least approaching a period of development when be will have so much that he mav, without qualms of concience, spend riotously if he so desires. While seeing only too clearly the folly of spending out of proportion to one's present visible supply, I do believe thatdn the whole the impulse toward so- called extravagance i s anything but ignoble. j The population of the United States is now put at 96,496,000.
