Law Makers Royally Entertained Throughout
v the Island. Are Made Acquainted With
Our Desires Regarding Homestead
Question and Nawiliwili Harbor
The Landing
Bright anil parly Tuesday morn
ing November 20th, the "Mauna
Kea" with the Congressional party,
appeared in the Nawiliwili harbor
which was exceptionally quiet and
smooth, as if for the occasion." Tho
party was speedily landed, were
received and welcomed by their
respective hosts and whirled away
to their" homes for breakfast.
rho visitors had been assigned to
their hosts on the way down, aboard
the steamer, and had received num
bers accrediting them to automo
biles similarly numbered, drawn
up in order at the landing, so that
or any there need be no confusion
uncertainty. The plan worked to
perfection and received tho enthu
siastic approval of tho visitors. Uv
special arrangement .provision had
been made for the hosts,' or somp
member of the local committees, to
accompany each car as special
guide and mentor,a plan that work
ed out very acceptably.
The Program. Begins at Koloa
Promptly at S o'clock the party
set out from the rendezvous at the
County Building, for Koloa, where
the first scene on the program was
enacted at tho public school, con
'sisting of the impressive flag raising
exercises, singing by tho children,
etc.
Senator Poindexter then gave a
most appropriate short address to
the children and the. citizens assem
bled, hi which he emphasized their
privileges, commended their patrio
tism, and enjoined industry, obe
dience and loyalty.
The Wonder of Kukuiolono
Hurrying away frcm hero the
next stop was made af Kukuiolono
Park, passing Kalaheo on the way,
where the school children were
lined up by the road side to give
the- party their enthusiastic greet
ing. Kukuiolono Park with its
mngniticent viows abroad and its
manifold beauties near at hand,
awakened enthusiastic commenda
tion on all sides. It was an un
expected treat the like of which
they had seen nowhere else on their
trip.
After encircling the park in va
rious directions and. enjoying its'
charms from the various points of
view, tho party gathered at tho
dainty little reception hall where
thev listened to a brief patri6tic ad
dress from Representative Carter of
Massachusetts.
The Eleele School
Tho noxt stop was at the Eleele
nohool, one of tho largest and best
r annointed on tho island. Brief ex
ercises by tho children wero fallow
ed by an address by Hep. Welty
after which' tho party visited sev
eral denartments of the school,
being specially- interested in the
Domestic Scienco activities. Do
na rting from here on time, they
were sneedilv conveyed to the end
of tho macadam at Waiawa and back
to the Kekaha mill, one of tho few
mills onUhe islands in operation at
this time of tho year.
A Sugar Mill in Operation
Not having had this oportunity
elsewhere they availed themselves
of it heie with avidity under the
Guidance of Mr. II. P. Fave the
manager: they inspected the various
nnnmtions in the manufacture of
sugar from the crushing of the cano
to the bagging of tlie hnisheu pro
ductal beautiful golden large cry
stalled sugar, tho delicious flavor of
wliinb annealed to the taste as its
'annearanco did to the eye.
As a special novelty, even to ex-
nort sugar men, the recently in
' stalled furnanco for .burning waste
molasses for the sake of its large
nml valuable nor centage of potash
nttracted a good deal of intelligent
attention and interest.
VISIT TO KAUAI
The Welcome call to Lunch
By the time that they had learn
ed the rudiments of sugar manu
facture it was verging on toward
lunch time and everyone responded
very readily to the "all aboard for
Waimea," where a wash ifnri'n few
minutes rest were a welcome pre
liminary to the call for lunch,
served in a specially constructed
lanai artistically decorated and
Tcry comfortably appointed.
The lunch, really a live course
dinner, was excellent both in cui
sine and in sqrvice, reflecting very'
much credit on those who planned
and executed the' wholo affair; it
had the feminine touch and finish
ttyat is not found in the ordinary
commercial service. We under
stand 'Mrs. KahlGaum and Mrs.
Brandt were behind it, and indeed
all through it.-
A very congenial spirit of good
fellowship pervaded the occasion
and there was much kindly banter
and repartee mixed with more or
less serious suggestion and advice
on both sides as to lroniesteads,
harbors,- race problems," patriotism
etc.
Reception on the Lawn
Following the lunch tho party
adjourned to the grounds of the

The finals in the 'ladies' tennis
singles were played last Saturday
on the Lihue Tennis club courts.
Miss Meta Mengler of Waimea won
easily from Miss Mary Christopher
ion of Ilanalei in three straight
sets, (i-4; 0-2; G-4.
This match ended the tournament
which began last year when Mrs.
JIans Isenberg offered a beautiful
silver vase to the lady winning two
matches consecutively, the matches
to he played at intervals of six
months. Miss Meliccnt Waterhouse
won the first match in April 191(5.
Miss Meta Mengler won both match
es of lDlf, nrjit defeating. Mrs. Phi
lip Hice and now Mrs. Christoper-
son. Tins last victory makes Jicr
tho possessor o f' tho- handsome
trophy.""
Miss Mengler plays a splendid
game of tennis and deserves her vic
tory.
Much interest has been shown m
all tho games.
An Accident
The removable stage in the Lihue
armory is rather high and as yet
no permanent steps have been pro
vided for it ; any box Or chair must
servo for that purpose
The other evening, at the Portu
guese Red Cross and Food Conser
vation rally, Mr. Santos having oc
cat-ion to descend from the stago
stepped on the edge of the folding
chair which served as stop and it
immediately collapsed, giving him
a bad fall.
lie made light of it at tho time,
hut later it became apparent that
his arm' was badly twisted and
bruised, so much so that )ie delayed
his return to town and devoted
himself to its recovery. In a few
days he will be quite himself again,
in the meantime he is a mild type
of a cripple.
Mrs. Thronas came up from
Honolulu last Friday to visit her

PARTY
Departure" Of Dr. Putman
Dr. and Mrs. Putman left for
Honolulu last Saturday on a leave
of absence of indefinite duration.
Dr. Putman goes to Fort Shatter
where he will hold the position of
chief medical ollieer, ranking as
major.
In due time it is expected that lie
will be ordcred abroad, presumably
to the seat of war.
Dr Putman has been on Kauai
upwards of 12 or 11 years. 10 years
or .o of which he has spent in Li
hue.
Consequent on his initiative and
utidcfr his direction manv valuable
additions have made to tho mt'dical
and surgical equipment of the hos
pital until it has come to, be one of
the best on tho Islands. The recog
nized skill of the doctor coupled
with the line equipment at his com
mand made Lihue a Mecca for all
those who needed medical and sur
gical aid.
Hy means of untiring faithfulness
in the discharge of duty, as well as
by personal kindness, interest" and
sympathy he -won the genuine re
gard of all classes, especially of the
common people to whom he minister
ed often at great personal sacrifice
but always with the same faithful
devotion as if a big fee was forth
coming.
This enthusiastic regard of all
classes high and low. was evidenced
of his friends to bid him a personal
good bve when he left ; a personal
enthusiasm which extended also to
Mr. Putman.
Dances At Waimea
Under the chaperonage of Mrs.
It. A. Knudsen the young folks of
Waimea and Vicinity will give a

Diphtheria At Hanamaulu
We regret to chronicle the de
velopment of Diphtheria at the
Hanamaulu school, the victim be
ing Miss Haslop one of the new
teachers, a neice of Mrs. Bridge
water. She showed the'firsl symp
toms on Friday and by Saturday
they were so-clearly developed that
there was no longer any room
for doubt. The antitoxin serum
was promptly administered and as
a result it will doubtless prove a
light case.
She lives with her aunt so that
she also will, be quarantined; this
will work a serious hardship to the
school: fortunately the end of the
term is near.

Commandable Generosity
'Sirs. J. S. Emerson, the head of
tho Hawaiian Belgian Relief Work
writes a.Kauai friend : "Have you
heard of the woulderful result of
the good example made by your
Hanamaulu school? It is almost too
good to bo true. Ewa plantation
usually gives the six hundred chil
dren there each a bng of candy and a
toy at Christmas time, but, several
days ago, after their teaehers had
told them about the poor litth Bel
gians, the children voted to cend
the money to them. In addition to
the very generousamount furnished
by the plantation some of the child
ren bought little gifts to be sent for
their little Belgian brothers and sis
ters. Other schools J know of, are
contempleting something of t h e
same kind, though, of course not
many can afford to give so large an
amount as the Ewa school has
given But however small or large
the amount, every gift- helps to
strengthen the glorious bond of
international friendship between
America and Belgium. '

THE PORTUGUESE
Tit HAND
An interesting and significant
meeting was held on Fridayeven
ing at the Lihue Armory, in
the interest of the Red Cro.'s and
food conservation work among our
Portuguese citizens.
Taking advantage of the presence
of Mr. M. G. Santos of the O'laiso
paper in Honolulu, hurried ar
rangements were made by Mr. A.
Nobriga, Mr. John Raposa and
others, for a mass meeting of the
Portuguese in order that the aims
and purposes of these great move
ments might be explained to them,
urn their interest and cooperation
elicited.
Considering the very short notice ,
that could be given the response
was surprisingly general, there,
being some three hundred present
including quite large contingents
from other pnrts of the Island es
pecially from Eleele; including also
a goodly representation of the Eng
lish speaking community of Lihue,
who wished to show their interest
and cooperation in the movement.
Mrs. J. M. Lydgate having been
selected to represent the Red Cross,
gave a simple hut effective object
lesson talk on the work that was
beingHloue locally for the benefit of
the Society, showing samples of the
work and assuring the Portuguese
ladies that they could he of groat
assistance to the cause. Mr. San
tos translated this and the other
addresses very effectively into classic
Portuguese.
In flic interest of Food Conserva
tion Mr. Lydgate outlined the war
situation and explained how we
could all help without going to the
front or carrying a gun by con
serving food and helping to feed
our Allies who were fighting for us.
.Miss Elsie Wilcox of tho Wo
men's Food Conservation committee
gave much valuable practical in
formation as to ways in which food
might be saved and substitutions
made which would release wheat
and other food desired hy the Allies.
Mr. Santos, speaking first in
English, gav6 a good deal of in
teresting information as to what
Portugal was doing in the war, and
is to what his compatriots on these
Islands were doing in the Red Cros
work, Food Conservation, etc. A,
Red Cross drive now on, liad
secured over 15000 for' the good
cause, with the outer Islands still to
be heard from. Ho assured his
audience that the Portuguese wero
not slackers and that they would
i their" duty almost to a man
along side of their fellow citizens of
the other races.
The Kapaia Band contributed
very materially to the interest of
the occasion by rendering several
line selections. Altogether it was
an interesting and helpful meeting
significant of a growing community
spirit.
Home Again
