THE GARDEN ISLAND. TUESDAY, DEC. 4, 1917. THE GARDEN ISLAND Issued Every Tuesday Morning Kenneth C. Hopper J. M. Lydgate Managing Editor Associate Editor TUESDAY DEC. 4 What It Means With the Departure of the Kinau from Fort Allen on Friday instead of from Nawiliwili on Saturday as heretofore, Ave for see the transfer, in a measure, of the sseptcr from hihue to the Waimea side of the Inland. The Saturday departure from Niiwiliwili has for long vears heen. in a sense, n weekly soeial event, where people from all over the Island met and exchanged the courtesies of life, and kept more or less in touch with pne another and, always vaguely, vet inevitably, as the guests in a way of the Lihue people. They were it. This gave Lihue more or less of a soeial pristige, and more or less of an advantage . In a measurable degree this advantage will lie lessened hy the transfer to Fort Allen, and we somewhat question whether this full primacy of Lihue will be restored by any contingency short of the realization of the Nawiliwili deep-sea harbor plans. . We do not Tesent or begrudge the ttmporary change. It is a con sideration and an accommodation which are due to the Waimea side of the Island, and we trust that it may prove entirely statisfaetory and be long continued. So far ns any loss to Lihue is concerned we would assure our friends of the other side of the Island that we rejoice with them that our small loss is their great gain. Food Conservation Reports The food conservation weekly reports instituted throughout our Is land communities a few weeks ago are exerting n very salutary influence already. ' These reports of wheatless, meatless and wasteless meals week, by week, give every indication of being made very carefully, and very honestly; and that being the ease the ambition to make a good showing is significant of results. Some leftover, that under ordinary circumstances would have gone into the garbage can, is carefully saved in order that a clear record may be possible at the end of the week. Even the children take an interest in these report cards and are ready to help make them as neaily ideal as possible by cutting out waste or reducing on wheat or meat. We dont know just what use may be made of these, card reports in Washington, whither the results are transmitted, but at any rate they have a very considerable use here in stimulating economy, patriotism and humanity. Waimea Red Cross Activities Two cases of Red Cross hospital supplies have been forwarded to Honolulu by the Western Kauai Unit which will go forward with other similar cases from other sections of the Territory as soon as liossible. The ladies of that side of the Island all tlfe way from Eleele to Ma- na arc most faithful and assiduous in their devotion to this great humane cause. They have'nt sounded the trumpet over much in regard to what they have done, but we have reason to know that they have done a lot and that much credit is due them for their tireless and self sacrificing efforts. Say No There will be a special meeting of the Kauai Chamber of Commerce on Wednesday to take action on one or two important matters that call for immediate attention. One is the postmaster-ship of Lihue: that we may protest against the appointment of a throughly incompetent, unworthy and unweclome candidate who is in a fair way to'be saddled on us useless wo ate will ing to put up with a grossly inefficient, bungling and humiliating ser vice we had better speak up and make ourselves heard and that right promptly. Logic The United States Government fs taking elaborate anil wise precau turns, to keep the soldiers it is making away from drink. It knows that drink does nothing but harm to a soldier. If a soldier, why not a. munition maker? Or any other kind of a worker? Or anybody? Three Of A Kind The soldier who refuses to fight. The rich man who refuses to buy bonds. The citizen who refuses to vote. Captain Mohi.moto, of the Japanese cruiser Tokiwa," in his speech to the Japanese at Lihue Fark last Thuisday said that all Japanese par ents of these Islands should raise their children to be true American citizens Red Cross Knitting Th" increasing number of knitters in the service of the Red Cross necessitates the publication of the following: KNITTING DIRECTIONS Because of a difference in knitting needle sizes in the United States there being three manufacturers' gauges which, unfortunately, do not' correspond,, the Pacific Division of the American Red Cross ask that the women follow the printed directions as near as possible, but try out their needles and yarn to see just what measurement a definite number of stitches gives them.
