1 KlM EM Wileox ESTABLISHED 1904. YOL. 16. NO. 12. LIHUE, KAUAI, TERRITORY OF HAWAII, TUESDAY, MARCH 23. 1920 SUBSCRIPTION RATES, $2.50 PER YEAR 5 CENTS PER COPY an LAST SUNDAY'S SOCCER GAMES Two corking good games of soccer wore played last Sunday, though the rain had somewhat of a dampening effect on one of them. The IAhm-Mclirijdc Game The first game, between Liliue and McBryde, j at Lilme Park, brought joy to the hearts of the home fans, as Lihue won a decis ive victory over the visiting team by scoring one in the first periol, and two in the second,ns against nothing for McBryde, thus glori ously redeeming themselves for the somewhat spiritless game they played against Kawaihau the Sun day previous. In the first period Lihue had a still' wind to buck, but managed to keep the ball in McBryde territory most of the time, and in about twenty minutes of play Manuel Fernandez, with a well placed kick, shot the ball, by the goal keeper for the first point. In the second period McBryde went in to even up matters, but Liliue had pep to spare this day and gave the visitors no chance to score. On the other hand, Lihue missed several shots that should "have scored goals by not taking account of the wind and over shooting. Ca'ptain Ilutton was the next Liliue player to distinguish him self by shooting a goal. Lihue got a corner kick which Ilutton re ceived and made a try for goal. The ball was intercepted, however. but Ilutton was right on his toes and followed up with another try which proved a grand success. About two minutes later Manuel Fernandez covered himself with glory by shooting his second goal for the day. This ended the scoring and plac ed Lihue in second place. Although McBryde lost the game, th'ey still head the list with six points to their credit, with Liliue a close second with five points. This was another ideal game from a sporting standpoint. It was absolutelv clean of intentional rough play, nor was there any dissatisfaction shown at the de cisions of the umpire. A Siebel umpired the game and performed this dutv in iiis usual excellent manner. The Makawdi-Kamiihau Game The Makaweli-uawaihau game took place at Kapaa and ended in' a tie, witli no scoring done. This was, without doubt, the hardest fought game of the seasoffj-though, from a spectacular standpoint, it did not amount to much, as inter mittent showers throughout the game made the ball wet and slip pcry consequently very little good kicking (of the ball) was done (though there was no lack of the verbal kind). Makaweli was badly handicap lied bv having to play several green men. On the other hand Kawaihau put up a great scrap and seemed to have a shade the better of the argument, as they kept the ball in the visitor's terri f tory most of the time, though they could not come through witli the liecessarv troal. A. Seibel also umpired this game. Doiiblv-IIcader A'crt Sunday t Next Sunday there will be a double-header at Eleele. Lihue will meet up witli Makaweli at 2 o'clock and McBryde and Kawai ban will play at 3:150. There is going to be sonic fast It Kapaa Notes j Mr. Jacob Y. Woo, recently a chemist with Pepeekeo Sugar Com pany of Pepeekeo, Hawaii, arrived ast week to take the position of night chemist with Makee Sugar Company. Mr. Woo is a graduate if the College of Ilawaii and is the on of the Hev. Y P. Woo, of Ho ndlulu. The Kapna school garden is in line condition and the local vege tarians as well as others who are not fortunate enough to have a vegetable garden of their own, will soon' be able to satisfy their wants by paying a visit to this garden of plenty. Mr. Geo. II. ICayniond reports that all the Kapaa school teachers who were attacked with influenza, have fully recovered. Although the tin has apparently departed for other fields so far as this district is concerned, the local theatres and schools are still clos ed due to the belief of the Govern- tiientphysieinn that this method lessens the spread of the disease. Local opinion, however, is that this continued closing, particular ly that of the Kapaa school, is not justified, as Honolulu, with its theatres and other places of amusement running wide open and its schools, which are many times more crowded than on Kauai, open as usual, has only about 15000 cases of flu, whereas Kauai, with its schools und theatres all in the in fected districts closed, has almost 0000 cases according to last re ports. Dr. Patterson, when asked vesterdav as to when the ban would be lifted stated that so far as Ins information went, Dr. Kuhns is the only person who had t lie authority to reopen the local school and theatre, as he was given no instructions with reference to this matter when Dr. Kuhns left for Honolulu. Many local residents were for tunate enough to be given the chance to see four submarines sail past Kapaa on Thursday. These underwater craft were out for a cruise from their base at Pearl Harbor. SUBS VISIT KAUAI Four submarines cruising from the Pearl Harbor base, anchored for a while at Nawiliwili last Thursday evening. This the sec ond visit the subs have paid the Island in the last few months. HANALEI HAS FLU VICTIM Hanalol registers its first real case and death of flu.

Data to help in obtaining an ap propriation from Congress for t lie upkeep and improvement of nat ional :.arks in the Territory is Al bright's objective. One of the problems to "be solved is the ex change of government land outside of the forestry reserves for privately-owned land within them. Much of the detail work of these exchanges will be in hands of the governor's office. The Bishop est ate, for instance, has agreed to ex change laud valued at 52,000 witli in the reserves for equally valuable land outside of it, the Territory already having been an thorized by congress to make the exchange. 1.1)20 1010 uYt.soo . rr,:tS2 !' 1.122 0,0157 1,02S 4.07S J 1,014 4,077 l IJ.27") r,:50S r,28:5 o,s;5t 2:!!.82S 1S.40S If U.-51 0.745 022 I !,70:t 1 1.' r.ooi; 82.028 1.' r,800 14,027 S'.'iV'SOO 02,18;, 1,400 :5.201 ,4,.'!0r .'5.2.11 :i,.'54 2 7!)!)

The Knualans, as well as the other Islanders, will pass before tho heir to the British throne, and bo will not only see him but be seen, creating a memory that will be worth while In years to come. The processional of the pageant drama is entirely distinct from the civic and industrial parade, to consist largely of floats, which will be held Thursday afternoon, April 15. The two have been confused to some extent.
