books.
v, Schools must begin to collect material at onco and every maga
zinc subscriber on this Island can be of great nsslstanco If ho will
J( send all tho old magazines ho Is willing to part with to the nearest
school.
"fC "Scrapbooks have dono wonders for tho men in whillng away
i, the time and making life more pleasant for them. Colored Pictures,
Short Stories, Poems and Jokes are eagerly seized upon by tho soldiers.
."Colored pictures are preferred to black and white. They must be
attractive, cheerful and largo enough to bo seen- easily. Comic
cartoons and clippings with 'news' from homo are enjoyed. Poems of
.i sentiment aro liked best by tho soldiers, not war verse or anything
'blue.'
-C "Arrangements in all cases should bo horizontal, so that It will
. not lie necessary to turn tho book in order to see. Abovo all, in select
"7 ing pictures and printed matter it should bo remembered that these
books arc for grown men and not children."
All pages should bo well filled and pleasingly arranged. Tho
size of tho book is 10 x 12 inches, and each book contains 20 pages.
It has been suggested that wo make as many all Hawaiian books
.V as possible. "The 1'aradlso of the Pacific" and tho old "Mid-Pacific"
magazines would do wonderful servico for such books. Many boautl--J
ful Island views, colored post cards of our marvelous 'painted' fish and
the brightly colored flowering trees, etc., should bo available. Island
-7X poems arc not hard to find and last but not least, Hawaiian legends
j for the short stories. Surely our boys 'and girls will bo ablo to
complete some very delightful books of this description.
.V Miss Bcrnico Hundley will distribute the books among tho schools
upon their nrrival from Washington, and tho books must all bo com-
pleted and ready for collection by Miss Hundley on Wednesday,
. November 27th.

JEAN II. DANFOKD,
Vice-chairman,
Western Kauai Branch, A.rt.C.H.C.
Dr. A. C. Braley arrived this morn
ing. Dr. Braley is nt homo on Kauai
and will find many friends glad to seo
him,
THE 0015 OF THE
i
i
Kuhlo and McCandless both came
to Kauai Friday morning, landed to
gether at Nawiliwili, and then pur
sued their devious ways, tho former
going to Waimea, and tho latter to
Hanalci.
In company with local leaders of
tho party Kuhio proceeded to Kokaha
where, at Chang Kco's place, ho held
a successful meeting with a good at
tendance, mainly Hawaiian, and with
much enthusiasm. From thoro ho
drifted back to Waimea where ho hold
a meeting in tho evening In the little
park in front of tho Court House,
where a largo and enthusiastic crowd
was gathered to receive him
Both ho and IUcc produced a very
good Impression which is the promise
of many votes when tho timo comes.
On Saturday afternoon thoy had an
open air meeting just west of the
bridge in Hanapcpo where a good
crowd was ready to hear them, and
later, at 5:30 they were at Kalaheo,
where the Homestead Hall was crowd
ed to greet them. An evening meeting
at the Koloa Hall, which was crowded
to suffocation, with an added attract
ion in tho way of a moving picturo
program, made it a very full day.
Sunday afternoon they had a meet
ing at Kapaa with a slight dash of
moral flavor to it out of consideration
for the day and place. Monday after
noon saw thorn ranged up in front of
the Nakatsuji Store at Wainlha, in
spite of lowering skies and frequent
showers. In tho evening they had a
good round up at Hanalei in tho old
church notwithstanding the inclement
weather which would have chilled any
enthusiasm save that of a political
campaign.
At every point tho "Prince" spoko
with his usual happy facility, and car
ried the convictions and loyalty of the
crowd. Ho devoted his efforts mainly
to the destruction of tho bad seed
which his political enemies and oppon
ents had been so busily disseminating.
These charges wore mainly to tho
effect that ho was useless in Wash
ington; that ho was a cats-paw for
the rich people and the interests; that
ho had worked for tho repeal of the
twenty-five namo petition for home
steading; and that ho had voted for
prohibition when ho ought to have
known better.
On all of those charges he justified
his action to tho entire satisfaction of
his hearers; so that they will certain
ly confirm their satisfaction by their
votes.
McCANDLESS
McCandless retched up at Hacna
while It was still early Friday morn
ing, and addressed a small crowd
there endeavoring to plant some seed
which would not bo snapped up by tho
black-winged birds of tho enemy.
From horo he returned to Hanalei,
where ho rounded up a open air audi
ence about noon. In tho evening ho
spoko at Kapaa to a fairly good sized
crowd and with pretty fair success.
Saturday afternoon ho was at Kokaha,
and Saturday night ho had an open
air meeting on the littlo Court House
square at Waimea, with a very good
audience.
Sunday evening ho devoted to Koloa
with a meeting in tho hall with a pret
ty fair crowd. Monday evening ho
was at tho Tip Top in LIhue. This
latter Is described as quite u spicy
meeting that nono should have missed,
in which McCandless dealt out somo
righteous dues to his enemies and
set them straight in somo matters
concerning which thoy had been
wandering in tho fog unfortunately
there was only a small crowd to hoar
it.
All along tho lino he justified tho
quality of his patriotism, ns evidenced
by tho purchaso of Liberty Bonds, Bed
Cross contributions, etc., and made
lavish promises of what ho could do,
and would do for Hawaii at Washing
ton in connection with a Democratic
administration.
"Link" McCandless speaks Hawaii
an very well, and understands Hawaii
an character even better, and becauso
of this tho Hawailans tako to him very
cordially, but that doesn't mean much
when It comes to votes. Accordingly
tho outlook is that tho Princo will
hold his own, assuredly in tho outer
districts and como out ahead as usual,

FIRST REGULAR
The first regular meeting of tho
Moklhana Club for tho now year on
Wednesday was ono of tho largest in
the history of that organization, thoro
being over ono hundred present. Tho
new officers were in their places, Mrs.
Swan, president; Mrs. W. H. Bice.Jr,
vice-president; Mrs. Mesick, secretary,
and Miss Fisher, treasurer.
After tho transaction of the busi
ness of the day tho president intro
duced Miss Channan, secretary of the
Honolulu Y. W. C. A., who told briefly
of her trip to tho Coast since sho was
last on Kauai, and in connection with
that trip she had been able to secure
tliQ very valuable services of two wo
men who occupied very responsible
places of trust and opportunity on the
Mainland, In connection with Y. W.
C. A. work She then Introduced Mrs.
Maddox, who has been for somo time
in charge of tho Hostess House at
Fremont, near San Francisco.
Mrs. Maddox Is evidently a woman
of superior education and' culture
with a very attractlvo personality
which wins her audience at the very
outsot and holds it to the end. She
talked very entertainingly of her work
and experiences, and of the great
need there is for theso Hostess Houses
in the cantonments, and of the bless
ing they aro to all whom they serve.
"It Is perfectly natural and proper,"
3ho declared, "for women to want to
see and be near their men folks dur
ing the comparatively long period of
their training beforo they aro sent
over seas. But the problem was Just
how to give them this privilege with
out, at tho same time, exposing them
to grave danger, and the development
of serious evils. These cantonments
in many cases are miles away from
anywhere, so that there aro no hotels
or hording places where transient
visitors may stay. A woman, mother,
sister, wifo or fiancee arrives, it may
be in tho middle of the night
in search of tho man in whom
she is particularly interested. Sho
knows his name and that Is about all.
Just how to find him, and where to
find him, and where to stay while Bhe
finds him, this sho docs not know.
Now, the Hostess House meets and
solves this problem for her. Hero
theso women are taken in, cared for
and helped in every possible way to
tho realization of their desires. The
Mr. Peter Jones whom she wants to
seo Is speedily located and brought to
the house whose great reception room,
one quiet corner of it Is placed at
their disposal, and for the time, short
or long, that she remains at tho can
tonment, everything Is dono to pro
tect hor and make her stay comforta-
Burglary at Hanamaulu
Somo time during the night between
Monday and Tuesday last, burglars
gained an entrance to the Hanamaulu
Store by sm shlng In ono of tho front
windows. Among the articles stolon
were two ladies gold watches, a lot of
smoking matter and some shoo polish.
No clue to the perpetrators has so
far been found, but tho police aro on
the trail, confident of landing their
men shortly.
The stealing of the shoo polish per
haps accounts for tho dlllgenco with
which tho police is eagerly scanning
the shoes of each passing Filipino, to
seo whether an extra gloss has been
applied to the coverings of their nether
extremities.
