LlllUE, KAUAI, TERRITORY OF HAWAII, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 18. 1919 SUBSCRIPTION RATES, $2.50 PER YEAR 5 CENTS PLK COIY HONORED hi HER FREDS The pol supper given by Mr. and .Mrs. S. V. Wilcox in honor of the ra .urn of their daughter Mabol from rtervico in France, was a social event of more than ordinary interest and im portance. The spacious and beautiful ..oiiii) lent itself most admirably to the .leeds of the occasion, with plenty of .oom for the long tables, without dis curbing the drawing room with its :iovol and interesting display of things pertaining to the war. The supper, itself, was a triumph of lawaiian culinary art, such as none but the high chiefs on rare occasions, jrobably, ever saw. All the nicer dishes wero there in tho daintiest and . lost appetizing shape. Following tho supper the guests de .otcd themselves mainly to tho ex : initiation of the remarkable collect on of souvenirs brought from the rront. Tho most conspicious among these was the fine display of posters, n themselves an art gallery of the : tate of war. One whole series of lood conservation posters, were the ork of French children, and did them I reat credit by their artistic merit as well as their originality. One small roster was a facsimile of tho last 1 age of tho famous "Scrap of Paper" treaty, guaranteeing Belgian neutral ity, with tho seals of the signing di l.lomats. Another particularly fine poster was a large one in the interest of the anti tubercular campaign in France. The O.elicacy and harmony of tho coloring, f nd the pathos and appeal of the re tjrning hero, on whom tho fatal hand c.f the disease had been laid, were worthy of a choice place in any art collection. Another very interesting dispiiy vhich merited careful study was tho collection ofmedals and small souve rirs, the latter picked up mostly on tho battle fields. Tho medals were vorks of art, many of them of sur prising fineness and wealth of detail, mostly in bronze, each one telling its tile in its own original way. Two or three of Uiqso medals were personal decorations granted to Miss "Willcox for distinguished service; one from tho French authorities and ono from tho Queen of Belgium. Another uniquo little display was that of tho diminutive charms to bo worn as talismans against disaster or misfortune. Some of them were small er than a ten cent piece, but wero of proved efficiency. Ono worn by Miss "Wilcox was sufficient to ward off sea s'.ckness across the Atlantic, but fail e.l to withstand the evils of tho Kauai channel aboard tho Kinau. But, per haps this was too far away from home for a charm to bo expected to work. Ono little souvenir of grim, personal interest, was a fragment of shrapnel which fell In an air-raid on the roof of the hospital where Miss "Wilcox was stationed. She went out and picked it up immediately afterwards. Thero were more things of Interest than could bo properly examined and appreciated in ono evening; it would bo a fine thing to have a public exhi bition of them, say at tho Mokihana Hall. :0: Japanese Not Enthused Over Union Tho Japanese of Waimea mot Monday evening, Nov 10th, for tho purpose ol organizing, and elect ing delegates to attend tho labor conference in Honolulu. A similar meeting was held in Koloa. It is reported that there is a general . lack ot interest and. enthusiasm displayed by the plantation labor ers. :U: Win. At hi, .!r. recently appoint e.l to succeed L. A. Dickey as judge of the Fifth Circuit Court arrived by the Kinau this morning to look over Ins prospective field ami make preliminary arrange ments. Two now plantation residences nro to bo built up on the hill, mauka of tho Lutheran church, in Lihue. They will bo modern, artistic, and convenient houses, up-to-date in every respect. This bids fair to bo a choice residence section in tho near future. E It was inevitable, or almost inevit able, that Judge Dickey would finally be superseded by some man of oppos ing political traditions, but his hold over term had run along so far that it was hoped that ho would remain in olilce indefinitely. This, howovor, is not to be, and his successor, Judge William C. Achi, is l'able to arrive almost any day. His rppolntment, to be sure, needs tho confirmation of tho Senate in "Wash ington, but as it has the approvel ot Delegate Kuhio, in tho natural order of things that confirmation will come immediately. Tho appointment, follow ing tho confirmation, takes effect im mediately on his taking tho oath of ofiico. Judge Dickey has already arranged for a three month's vacation and a trip to the Mainland. Ho will leave about tho first of December. Judge Dickey will not make any definite plans as to his professional future. He may resume practice hero or return to Honolulu. His many friends here hope that it. may be the former. :o : The Grove Farm League The Grove Farm league had some lively games last Sunday. The H. A. C. won from the J. A. C. by a score of 9 to 7. The Japanese were leading up to tho sixth Inning, but Iwata, the Jap pitcher, blew up and allowed tho H. A. C. two runs, which cinched tho game. In tho second game the Portuguese started the ball to rolling by annexing fivo runs in tho first inning. Tho boys were right on their toes all the time. The Filipinos wero not in form, but made a game light. Tho scoro Was 7-5. The batteries were: Iwata and B. Fernandez for J.A.C., and Carvalho brothers for the H.A.C. Tuxeira and Itapozo for P.A.C. and Mading and Leon for F.A.C. For A New Y. M. C. A. Father Bonian is on Kauai in the interest of a Portuguese Y.M. C.A. organization with offices and a full program of "1 .M.C.A. activ ities and advantages in Honolulu, which shall bo open not only to the members there- but to all of this race who may care to avail themselves of them. He has made a complete tour of tho Islands in this interest, with gratifying suc cess. Father Boiuun is an orator in his own tongue and holds his audi ence spell-hound. Ho will address the Portuguese community Sat urday evening at the Ilanainaulu Hall.' Doings in District Court fudge Iljorth, of the Lihue Dis trict Court, has been doing a lue urative business during the last few day's. Sunday is a quiet day, and thero is many a quiet spot among the outlying quarters and secluded rice plantations- where an active gambling game stands a good chance of "getting by" safely. Accordingly the early part ot t lie week is apt to be a busy time in district court circles. During Monday and Tuesday the judge took in 105 in forfeited bail from these venturesome gent lemen. They were of all kinds from Japanese to German, some two dozen of them. :0: Mrs. F. Hart, a daughter of Mr. S Simpson, principal ot tho Lihue public school, arrived by tho Kinau this morning on a visit to her father. Mrs. W. ft.

Previous to the visit I to Port Allen the B 220 cruised around Kauai while tho B l!l cir cled .N'iihau. It is said the B 20 intended to come in to Xawiliwili but found the seas running so high they wero afraid to attempt it. The B 220 was the first to enter Port Allen and displayed a nice piece of maneuvering when she was brought up so close that a sailor stepped from the sub to the buoy and made fast and step ped back again. The news soon spread about the visitors in port and it was not long before a largo and interested crowd was on hand, many of whom were viewing an undersea boat for the first time. Mr. Peer, assistant manager at Port Allen, kindly oll'ered tho use of the big power launch, and in this way many people, though not allowed to go aboard, wero en abled to got a near view of the interesting craft. in the late afternoon the ladies of Eleole had tea for the officers and men at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Peer, after which danc ing was enjoyed until it was time for the subs to depart for their base. :0: Y.

It seems that she went to Honolulu, leaving her board ers in the lurch, so tho plantation tool: over tho boarding house as well .is some eiTouts belonging to her. This gave Iter a legal opening and a chance for damages. She set her ma terial losses and injured feelings at .-530.000 and fought for tho same tenac iously through several days of litiga tion, but Judge Franklin instructed the jury to find against her. Judge Dickey being a stock-holder of Hawaiian Sugar, was disqualified for sitting on the caso, so that he was only an interested onlooker. L. J. Wan en, of Smith & "Warren, handled the case for the Hawaiian Sugar Company, whilo A. G. Kaulukou represented tho plaintiff. It 13 reported that the caso will be appealed to tho Supreme Court.

Wood is out again after a siege of the prevailing cold epidemic, VICTORY DAY AT WAIPDULI Armistice Day was a big day at the Waipouli Pace Track. Peo ple began to arrive at an early hour and by 10 :250 both sides of the race course wero lined with cars. There were 2,(100 paid' ad missions nud about 2200 auto park ing permits issued. One of the pleasing features of the day was that everything came oil as per schedule; there wore no tiresome delays as is so often ex perienced in affairs of this kind. The different events wero watch ed with interest, though there was none of that hilarious and noisy enthusiasm one sees at a similar event on the Mainland. in the racing events tho Belay Ilaee and the Pony Express were the most interesting; Werner won from .fohn Malina in the finals of the former, while the Kapaa team carried tho banner to victory in the latter event. In the first preliminary of the tug-of-war, between Grove Farm and Waimea, the latter won father easily as tho Grove Farmers were not ready at the signal to pull. Kekaha won the second prelimin ary by default. In the linals Ke kaha won from Waimea in two straight pulls, ono minute and thirty seconds and one minute and seventeen seconds respectively. ' In the burrow race, Philip Bice's mount led the field by sev eral lengths until within a few feet of the wire, when suddenly the Kona nightingale seemed to have an idea, and stopped to give it due consideration. What over it was lie (or she?) did not get it straightened out until the rest of the lield had ambled by, much to the disgust of Philip. Wilson, the wonder horse, under the direction of his owner, Mr. Harris, gave an exhibition of in telligence that was almost human. "King" Baggot surprised the assemblage with his exhibition of trick riding and fancy roping. It was well done, and was thoroughly enjoyed by the big crowd, to most of whom it was absolutely new. The children's program of sports, under the supervision of G. S. Hayniond and II. T. Barclay, was held in the polo field, and pro vided amusement for the young sters for a large part of the day. :o : Ladies on the Lawn The hulies of Lihue, to the num ber of some thirty or more, mot on the beautiful athletic lawn at the .Moler's Monday afternoon for the initial volley ball games of the season.

After playing Uie regulation ladies' game of volley ball they look a turn at the boy's game of baseball, and found it'lots of fun. Tli is will bo a regular institu tion from now on, every Mon day afternoon; health and hap piness for women ! :x: MRS. C. M. V. FORSTER ARRIVES Mrs. C. M,V.
