day and today the committees of
the Kauai Chamber of Commerce
have put what may be termed the
main "finishing touches" on the
Civic Convention program. All of

smooth sailing is not yet in hand,
but is in sight; nor arc there quite
enough accommodations and auto
mobiles to meet the requirements
and desires of that committee. At
aiiy rate, however, the committees
X so "near the line" thut they
are not retting any.
The landing will be made at
Nawiliwili, unless the weather

for the manipulation of automo
biles. THE MORNING BREAKFAST.

fast Sunday morning as had been
at first planned. On the other
hand, everybody will turn out at
Nawiliwili landing to welcome the
