13 years old and have lived on this
Island for eight years. I was born in
Honolulu. Our school Is shaped like a
capital H. From the platform of our
ftchool we could see the town of liana
pene and other beautiful sceneries.
The mountain near Camp II has beau
tiful colored rainbows and sometimes
the color of the mountain will be heavy

vent to pieces.
We can see a cape projecting out on
tvhich the lighthouse is located from
the school. There are two big stores
In Eleela where we buy goods and
others.
The McBryde riantatlon In Eleele has
many cane fields. Port Allen is the
port for Kleele. In front of the school
roganlrllls is planted. We don't have
lice fields in Kleele but In Hanapepe
valley there are lots of them. Hana

Fmall stores. There is a little land area
covered with cane fields in Hanapepe.
lloys and girls go and chew the cane

Jltsu Kano. Kleele, Kauai.
Pear Friend. I am In the Kleele
school. I have to walk about one and
a half miles to school from my home,
our school is on the top of a hill. Our
school colors are black and gold. There
is a river and an ocean near the school.
There are two canyons on Kauai,
Olokele and the Waimea canyon. Some
of the fruits of the Hawaiian Islands
are bananas, mangoes, pineapples, or
anges and grapes.
There are volcanoes on the Hawaiian
Islands. One of them Is the Kllanea.
Manv people go to see It. 1 don't know
very much about the volcano because 1
did not go to see It. Honolulu Is the
capital of the Hawaiian Islands. This
is all but I will write more again.
Y'ours trulv.
KIYOTO TMHAKT.
Pear Friend. I think voti will he
interested to read a letter from a coun
try so far from yours. I wanted you to
know something ahnutour island of
Kauai, about the crops and other things
also.
The chief Industry Is agriculture.
The chief crops are sugar cane, pine
apple, rice, fruits and vegetables. Sugar
cane Is raised both on hills and In the
valley. Pineapples are raised on low
slopes. Itica is raised In the valleys.
I live among the rice fields.
Beside crops there are beautiful
places In Kauai. Olokele canyon Is In
the mountains north of my home. This
is one of the most beautiful places you
can imagine. There are hundreds of
different kinds of ferns, beautiful trees
and flowers. People who come here
from the States think it is wonderful.
Our school is on a hill. I think it
has the best view of any on the Island.
We can look down through two miles
of vail so- land to the oceon.
Hoping to receive a reply very soon,
Y'ours truly.

A SAD PLIGHT
A Scotchman, very much downcast,
waa found by an acquaintance, another
Scotchman, sitting in a corner of a
waiting room at the station.
"What's the matter, Sandy?" asked
the acquaintance.
"Ah lost my looggage," was Sandy's
gloomy reply.
"Lost your looggage, mon? Why
how did it happen?"
And the reply came, very gloomy
this time: "The cork came oot and it
all ran away." Foresight.
Will Destroy Moonshine
Confiscated in Nebraska
In Last Seven Months
Between r00 nnd ('00 gallons of
moonshine whiskey nnd 110 "stills"
confiscated during the last Fevrn
months in raids on Nebraska hooch
distilleries will be deployed under the
guiding hand of federal prohibition
enforcement officials within the neS
few weeks. The fovb'dden juice which
has been gathered in from farms,
basements of homes, garages, hay
stacks, river bunks, and hundreds of
other conceivable hidden places out in
thp state, is at the present time stored
"somewhere in Omaha and Lincoln,"
says the Lincoln Star.
Destruction of the liquor and the
boor.e-making machines will be car
ried out with ceremonies as solemn as
a funeral, according to local govern
ment sleuths. There will be no pall
bearers to carry "Al K. Hall" to his
final resting place but Uncle Sam will
draft a number of olficial witnesses to
the interment.
Plans for the execution have not
been completed and probably will not
be made public before the zero hour
arrives. This much is known, the
liquor will disappear via the sewer
and the "stills", some of them the
handiwork of skilled mechanics, will
be placed upon the anvil and crushed
with heavy sledge hammers and iron
bars.
The copper parts of the Ftills will
be advertised and sold as junk, thff
money derived therefrom to go to the
United States treasury. Stills of
every size and description are in the
hands of federal officials. These
booze plants range in size from a
common tea kettle to sixty gallon
boilers.

When the church in Newton, Mass.,
attended by Darius Cobb, the well
known painter, was trying to raise
money to lift the moiteage, a mass
mectinr was held to solicit contribu
tions. It came Mr. Cobb's turn to tell
what he would give for the cause.
"I haven't anv money, but I'll gixe a
$200 pivture," he said.
When all the contributions were in
it was found there was still a deficit
and the members of the congregation
were asked to increase their dona
tions. "All right," said Cobb, "I'll do my
share. I'll raise the price of my pic
ture to $.:oo."

WIND
YOUR
WATCH
t
REGULARLY
Winding' a watch at about
the same time each day
liclps it to run accurately.
A little attention to this,
a little care in handling,
a cleaning and oiling once
a year, and your watch
will last a life time. A
little negligence on your
part and the watch is use
less. Why not take these precau
tion ?

"UP IN MARY'S ATTIC"
Whats Your
Firt Name?
I know your last name it's the same as
mine. And our first names begin alike; but
the ending, that's where the difference may
show up.
Consumer is your last name mine, too.
My first name is Careful, but one branch
of the family answers to Careless. Where do
you come in?
If you are not sure, then here is a sure test.
Careless Consumer says advertising is all
"bunk" that it's a waste of time to read it, a
waste of though to believe it, and a waste of
money to buy things advertised.
Careful Consumer, that's me, says time
spent reading advertisements is well in
vested, that here you get news of the latest
and best things made, word as to where to
get them, what they cost, what they will do;
and that you have the pick of the whole mar
ket of the whole country, and the pick of the
particular kind, shape, size and color that
best suits your taste and fits your purse.
If you are not sure who you are, try reading v
advertisements for a while. Then you will know,
for you, too, will be Careful Consumer.
