M. C. A. ON The recently organized Lawai club had its regular semi-monthly meet ing. Saturday night at the home of one of the buys. Twenty-eight members of the Li hue Filii.ino club took a hegira to the Barking Sands Sunday. On t lie way home they stopped at Camp 4, Makaweli, and had a friendly game of volley ball with the "Y" boys there. The-Camp 4 members .sadly Jacked practice and gave all three games to the visitors. The Filipino members of the Waimea and Kekaha English night school classes are making splendid progress. They pay a regular tui tion fee of a dollar a month. The annual review number of As sociation Men, the monthly maga zine of the brotherhood, shows that Hawaii ranks fifth among the dif ferent States as regards the number of Association members for each 1,000 young men in each State. Wc have 51. The Honolulu public library is co-operating with the Association by sending well selected assortments of books for the use of the different clubs.

This report will be mailed to the subscribers and members. The secretary will spend Wednes day at the Honolulu Boy's Indus trial school in connection wtth some K'.uai Juvenile Court matters. Ho will return Friday morning. Three bible classes for young men have been started this month. "Every boy who comes to matu rity has cost the State that is, you and me, one thousand dollars. Some boys go wrong. When a boy goes wrong we not only lose our thousand dollars, but wo have to spend another thousand to protect our lives against him. Tho Young Men's Christian Association is an organization of manly men, whoso sole object is to keep our boys morally, mentally and physically right. These- right ones in turn keep others right. Thus tho Y. M. C. A. is an investment that pays cumulative dividends, not only in cash, but in character. Can you suggest a belter investment? "T. A.

The previous banquet affair of the Kauai' Masons was partici pated in by the sterner sex only, it may be explained; so that this func tion was the first attended bv the ladies. The banquet table, arranged by Senator J. II. Coney, was in the shape of the Masonic triangle. The decorations, menu, music, etc., were of the best. Judge C B. Hofgaard was toastmaster, and presided in his usual hapi. manner. During tho evening speeches ap propriate to the occasion were made by Judge Hofgaard, Senator J. II. Coney, W. C. Avery, M. A. Knock and others. As a whole tho affair demonstrat ed that the Masons are subatantially organized here and arc destined to become as important to local com munity life as they have been to worthy endeavors the world around, from Biblical times. WRITE LETTERS TO CONGRESSMEN Letters have been received in the last few days by Senator Chas. A. Rico from Delegate Kalanianaole, K. W. Breckons and others in posi tion to know tho trend of things urging that peoplo on Kauai hav ing friends in Congress write them letters at onco urging tho passago of the JNawihwili breakwater item, which will come up for considera tion about the first of February. Tho letter of the Delegate (who by tho way, feels earnestly in favor of this project) is as follows: In order to leave no loophole in our fight for the harbor improve ment at Nawiliwili I desires to make this suggestion for your considera tion. Of courso I am making the best fight possible with tho House Coni mitteo on Rivers and Harbors, which is now engaged in framing the river and harbor measure for this session of congress. You will recall that the House last year refused to ap propriate for any Hawaiian projects. but that in tno Senato tho Kahului project was put in and insisted up on by our friend Senator Jones, nf Washington. Of course tho House gavo way to the Senate when tho measure went to conference, nml the Kahului project remained in tno Dm and lias become a law. There is more reason this session MASONS KAUA APOI L UNGHEON SAN Mrs. Albert S. Wilcox entertained' at a poi luncheon on Thursday the 4th., the following ladies: Mrs. Kaui Andrew, Mrs. W. II.

The lanai dining room was very beautifully decorated with hanging baskets and potted palms. The table decoration was yellow chrysanthe mums and golden glow. The luncheon was given in honor of Mrs. Kaui Andrew, of Oakland, Cal., who is visiting her old home on Kauai. HIBISCUS SHOW AT THE CARNIVAL Mrs. Charles A. Riee is to be ask ed lo make an exhibition of a col lection of hibiscus from her beauti ful Lihue garden at the Hibiscus Show which is to be held in Hono lulu February 21, during tho Carni val week. Arthur Wall, the director of the Hibiscus Show, confidently predicts that there will bo from 2000 to ,1000 varieties of the flower shown at that time. He thinks that in beauty and magnitude the show will excel any of previous years, as most of the growers of Oahu have promised to make exhibits. Among the exhibitors will be G. P. Wilder, sometimes referred to as tho 'Hibiscus King," Mrs. E. D. Tenney, Mrs. It. T. Foster, Mrs. R. T. King and Valentine Holt. All ,of the Oahu growers, both small and large, are to bo asked to have exhibits of their (lowers at the show. It has not yet been decided whether to 'make the show compe titive or non-competitive. T h e show very likely wil) be held in the Pan-Pacific Lodge, which will ' be erected on Bishop Square, opposite the Young Hotel. This is to be one of the most pretentious buildings ever constructed for the Carnival in Honolulu. Benefit Concert The Hawaiian women intend holding a fair in the Lihue Social Hall, on February 10th., at 3:30 p. m. and will also give a concert on the evening of the same day. The proceeds of the fair and con cert will be used to furnish a ward in the Samuel Mahelona Hospital, for tho exclusive use. of llawaiians. It is to be hoped that there will be a large attendance in the evening, as this is an object well worthy of patronage. Further data will bo given in the coming issues of Tiik Gakdrx Island. of congress than there was in the last for tho House to hold down the river and harbor bill, because the democratic leaders admit that a de ficit in the federal revenues of 8300, 000,000 faces them for the fiscal year ending Juno 30, 1918. If we are beaten in tho House I will take tho matter to tho Senate committee on commerce which frames the measure for. tho Senate. It is with tho fear that tho de pleted revenues will keep the Senate committee from looking witli favor (Continued on page 5) DREW JA MEETING OF Tho Mokihana Club met, at the Lihue Social Hall on the afternoon of Wednesday, the tenth. The Christmas Trees Committee, Mrs. Thurtell, chairman, reported suc cessful entertainments given on the last day of tho fall term at the Wai lua, llanamaulu, a n d Hulcia schools, with decorated trees, candy, apples and peanuts for the children. The Public Health Committee an nounced that a First Aid Class un der Dr. Putman's instruction was to be organized, Mrs. Putman to have charge of all arrangements.

The program of the afternoon was a musical one. Mis. Lindemann continued bur talk on the "Develop ment of Music," tracing its course down through Greek, Hebrew, and, early Christian times and as far as tho .sixteenth eentuiy. Proceeding then to the .Symphony, she charac terized in a few words the music of Mozart, after which the Jupiter Symphony was played by M.s Roh rig and Mrs. Lindemann. Mrs. Swan sang two songs, "The Night Has A Thousand Eyes," and "My Ix)ve is Like tho Red, Red Rose." A pleasant social hour was then spent, the hostesses, Mrs. Chas. Wil cox and Mrs. Swan, serving refresh ments. Parking Tip Top Square The little square next to the Tip Top theater in Lihue is being park ed iiv a very attractive manner. A pretty palm has been transplanted from the yard of Mr. II. Rohrig in to the middle of the lot and the bal ance of the plnco will bo nicely grassed over. When all the work is completed the square will be quite in harmony with its pleasing sur roundings.

It precludes announcement of Ger many's pence terms, as the modest teims which Germany was prcpand to submit would appeal to the enemy as an indication of weakness.
