Doth Makawell anil I.lhiici havu

PRICE OF MILK TO 162CTS.
Lihue plantation dairy announces
a cut In the price of milk from 20
cents to 1C Vs cents per quart. This
Is not being done because they arer
producing tho milk cheaper than
formerly us that is not tho case,
hut on account of an Increase in the
herd, thoy havo a large eiuuntlty of

therefore decided to cut tlio prico
so the people could afford to take
larger quantltios.

Mrs. E. F. Wood and Mrs. J. C.
Jamleson of Llhuu, with their chil
dren, departed on Friday for Hono
lulu, where thoy will tako a house
at Walkikl for tho next month.
The regular monthly meeting of
thu Kauai I'ost of tho American
l.eglon was held In tlio County build
ing on liiHt Saturday night. All
tho
regulars were present. As uhuuI thu
two outpuslH wero represented by
Mr. Cat ton and P; Hagooil. j
After handling the routine busi
ness, Mr. Haggott iiiadu a verbal
report on the progruss of the Le
gion drive for the armory rebuild-;
lug riind. He reported that thu tlj-lvo
was making satisfactory headway, '
and to date that over $11 (J!) had
been subscribed. There Is no doubt '
that tht rent of tlio amount can bo'
obtained, Is bis opinion. j
ThlH meeting was held on Satur-'
day night, "Tho I'lantallon M .i's '
Night," and there was a special ut-.
traction at the Tip Top theater. As
a conseipit nee thure was not a largo
attendance at the Legion mooting
and the question again arose if
Saturday night was the best night
for thu Legion meetings. Whenever
this question has p r I v I o u s
ly coine up before tho Legion the
Llhiie members have always voted
In favor of Saturday night out
consideration for members not llv
In Llhiie.
One of our efficiency experts solv
ed the problem by stating that If
the meeting was held on one mid
week night that lie would have all
the town members In to dinner at
his home (that would mean only
.Inc. Cation and Dr. Ilagood) and
then after the meeting these men
could go home ami hi; In bed a half
hour huforo their usual bed time.
Watch tho adjutant's letter for the
date ami day of the- roxt 'meeting.
LIHUE POST OFFICE
MADE SECOND CLASS
NO CHANGE IN SERVICE
The Llhiie post offlco stopped up
a notch on July 1st whun It 'waia
mndo a st-cond class post offlco.
This will cause little or no chango
in the service, although It wuh
stated by tho authorities that if
tlio streets in Lihue wero named
that free delivery could bo Institut
ed that being one of
of thu Horvluo that goes
tlio
with
marks
a sec-
ond class post office.
At present there are only throo
second class postofflces in tho ter
ritory, Walluku and Hllo being tho
other two. The rating of tho post
office is based on stamp Hales only,
money orders not entering at all.
A peculiar situation in regard to
iiioroy orders Is tho fact that more
money orders aro sold in ono month
in tlio Lihue 'post office than are
sold In a year in tho averago sec
ond class postoffiee on the main
land. POLITICAL PLUM OPEN

tion of II. T. Barclay, tho present
Incumbent, to tako effect on July
31. XA: Harclay has held down tho

walhau district for tho past seven
years.
Tho first candidate for tlio posi
tion Is K. Masunaga, who as assist
art postmaster at Kealla also held
to position or aHslstant tax assessor
under Mr. Harclay. Thero Is no doubt
that Masunaga is widl qualified for
the position us hey has dnno tho
actual work in connection with tho
ofrico for a number of years, ir It
wero a position connected with a
private firm Masunaga would bo In
direct lino for tho position, hut for
some strange reason politics does
not work that way and Masunaga
will he forced to go out and battlo
with other political aspirants for
tho position. The other two candi
dates, according to rumors, aro N.
K. Hoopli and Henry Van Glesen.
The Job is considered quite a po
litical plum as it carries a salary
of $2100 a year. Tho war Is on and
It is expected that once moro that
tho Kawalhau political cauldron will

aro girding for tho fray and all non
combatants are preparing bombproof

of material and had to confess to
the audience that they did not pre

Tho Kilauea 'Kwartetto oiwnud
with some barber shop harmony
that pleased the crowd and wero
forced to repeat soinu of thulr
numbers. An aesthutlu danco by the
Kilauea school girls was thu next

dances thai caught thu fancy of the
audience.
Mrs. W. II. Irving sang somo se

soprano voice, and It must bo said
that this part of tho entertainment
waH a distinct surprise to tho an- '
tllonc'o iiH such a high class num

Abraham l'oapoo nnd his Sax

In a beautiful number that wan
rightly headed "A Ollmpsu of Old

A musical riot closed tho show

It made not a few of tho kamaainaa
