This Calendar is fashioned after one given by “Ke Aloha Aina” to its readers in 1906. It was a custom of many papers to give something extra to the readers who subscribed for another year, whether it be a calendar like this or a picture of the king and queen. Hopefully you will download the image and print it out and tack it to your walls to remind you that the Hawaiian-Language Newspapers hold priceless information, and that you might find just a tiny bit of that here on this blog…
Here is what the original calendar looked like: http://wp.me/p1Wb7O-3B

Mahalo nō i ka makana makamae no ka makahiki hou e hiki mai ana! Mahalo nō hoʻi i nā hua o ka hana koʻikoʻi, he mau makana makamae ia no ko ke ao nei a mau loa aku.
Me ka ʻoiaʻio,
Liko
