Koloa played playground ball with Lihue Monday and was Bhut out by a one-sided score. The Koloa boys and girls have no regrets, however, and will show Lihue something next time. Both of the Koloa teams were new and suffered considerably from stage fright. Play was clean and fast. Corn is up a foot high at Koloa and is coming along finely. It should have been two feet high by this time, but the principal was awakened one night by mules which broke into the school yard and ran riot amidst the corn until driven out. The number of stray cattle and horses on the Koloa roads is a disgrace. The Koloa teachers have enjoyed a number of social affairs. A moon light picnic at Lawal beach was cer tainly enjoyed by all. Through the courtesy of Dr. and Mrs. Waterhouse all took a big truck to the beach, where games were played In the moonlight and a picnic lunch was consumed with gusto. This Is the second time Koloa teachers have been indebted to Dr. and Mrs. Waterhouse for this particular picnic, besides which they have to thank those hos pitable people for many other court esies. Shortly over a week ago the ladies of Koloa gave a lunch and entertain ment to all the new teachers at the Wilcox beach house at Koloa. Fol lowing this, on Hallowe'n, the ladies Invited the teachers to a supper and dance at the plantation boarding hOUBO. These two events, and numberless other courtesies have well sustained Koloa's hospitable and friendly reputation. ::- ISLAND ELECTRIC DEAL DEFINITELY ABANDONED The deal which has been pending between the Hawaiian Electric Com pany and the Island Electric Com pany of Maul for the purchase of the plant of the latter by the former has been definitely called off, the Haw aiian Electric retiring from the pro position.
