CQLF ON MOUNTAIN- SIDE QUITE A GAME C C Hastings Gi«» Some Interest- int Bits off Information Regarding Trip to Island Possessions Editors Note: The following bits of Interest regarding one of Uncle Sams most prosperous and important Pacific Island possessions, recently the subject of much discussion in relation to the, Japanese situation, are taken from letters penned by C. E. Hastings o03 Central avenue, who, with Mrs. Hast- ings, were members of a tourist party Which visited the islands during the Winter months. Included in the party ^WjvnrUr. and Mrs. H. g, geeler, 1104 Sheridan road. Following is the second of a series of letters to be published in succeeding issues of The Lake Shore News: By C. E. Hastings We arrived in Honolulu December 21â€"this is January i, 1921â€"ten days, on the Island of Aanu long enough to form ideas and get your own point of view. j* The sun shines througHF the rain, then they have beautiful rainbows in the morning, during the day and in ihe evening, 4:15 p. m. New Year's )ay the sun shining through the rain ^gaprsfa^itglrt-rainâ€"a cool wind, that is. the temperature about 70 degrees, and a beautiful rainbow. Can you see the picture I am painting in words? One of many days on this island poked up out of the middle of the Pacific. Then, can you see the crowds all colors, all nationalities at frhe Waikiki (pronounced Wa-kee- ltee)beach? Temperature of the water, about 78 degrees, an every day occur- rence at this time of the year, and feveryone trying to give you a good. time, as the tourist is appreciated here.------- ------------- He is really not necessary to the prosperity of the island. In other words, cane sugar and pine apples jare the main crops, and they have made the island prosperous. There is no complaint about hard t*m*s here, and very little poverty. Tlie tourist is discovering one other im- portant thing, namely, it sometimes pays to be a missionary, as the de- cedents of the missionary now own and control 75 per cent of this island, and there is considerable rivalry among themselves; namely, not jeal- ousy, but if one of the families wants the city dressod in bine, one of t> others wnl want red, and so on. So you see there is evidently profit as well as hardship in being a mission- ary. There is no provision made for heating of any kindj it is not nec- essary, as during the night you can sleep in the open air with a light cover over you. Yet, at this time of the year you do not suffer from the heat, What a wonderful climate, if 2,000 miles of Pacific ocean did not stare you in the face^ and make you tremble, but like Yellowstone park, it is worth while even at some cost. You North Shore golfefs play' a game with me on the golf links lo- cated in the Nuuana valley. We are now at the Club house, sitting about midway of the links, say 150 feet above the lowest point, and 150 feet below the highest point. The Clr house will compare very favorable with Skokie, with unlimited caddies of all nationalities, poorly schooled and lazy at a cost of 25 cents per nine holes. We tee off at No. 1, 3Z7 yards down hill all the way, then back on No. 2 up and down, then on No. 3 all up say 135 yards. You can drive it, but if you fail, look out. Then you climb from there on up to the ninth hole at the foot of the moun- tains, but over fine fairways like a velvet carpet as you walk over it. Do you get the picture? All greens are sloping or on the top of a knoll; if ever played, down you go. Then, 1 across the foot of the mountain to No. 10 and then down the valley to No. 16, and back to the Club house. Did von ever try climbing three or four hundred feet within the length of nine holes, but every tee a beMti- ful view? As John Alvord and H. n. Keeler say, "How can we climb moun- I tains, take in the scenery and play golf at the same time?" While the writer has been busy trying to de- feat a tourist, namely, Edgar Jones from 'Frisco, he sure is a golf fan, and we have been at it every day since arriving ten days ago. I am bound to get him if he stays long enough. So far I have had the honor of paying his caddy hire, not pleasant as you know, but 1 am after him.

Tack of iron in the blood not only makes a nan a physical and mental weakling, nervous.
