FACE PEELING EASY 81.
BLONDE OR BRUNETTE

"The blondes complexion fades
early, because her skin is extraordi-
narily thin and fine" says Nine.
Lima Cavalieri, perhaps the most ia

give one an entirely new complexion

morning. Mr.. and Mrs. E. P. Bal
Ter and son William Bailer were liv-

was lost. Among the articles which
Mr.. and Mrs. Bailer lost which
money cannot replace, valuable only
as family heirlooms. were two very
old books lone history 1T years
old and the other French and Eng

easy chairs presented to them by
San Juan friends on the occasion of
the celebration of their fortieth
wedding anniversary a few months
ago, were saved. Several tons of
hay in the field between the house
and the road were burned and the
orchard trees were mostly destroy
ed. The house was quite recently
insured for $500 and the contents
for$ 400. Mr.. Bailer says he will
probably rebuild upon or near the
old site.

expressions of opinion on the local
situation, offering as prize for the
best argument, a round trip ticket

ceived and all that we have room
for are herewith presented. Inc
preponderance of evidence favors
the verdict that Friday Harbor IS
all right, and nothing the matter
except little lethargy from which
an awakening is in sight.
The prize is awarded to A. y.
Wright, who has presented some
facts and figures showing that we
ought to be contented and happy.
Mr.. Gene C. Gould demonstrates
in detail at great length that the
assets of the community are most
satisfactory, and would be entitled
to the prize if he had NJ disregard-
I'd the instructions to be brief. Mr..
L. B.. Carter contributes a substan-
tial boost for the paper and the town
that is highly appreciated. There
are few kicks.

What's In a Name

Editor Islander:
Answering your inquiry 'What is
the matter with Friday Harbor. "
| would say briefly there is nothing
the matter except the name. Of
course we were born that way, and
had nothing to do with the christen-
ing. Friday Harbor would do for an
island inhabited only by Robinson
Crusoe, the man Friday and goat.
San Juan is nice name and SAN
WAN would fit the chief town in
the county nicely.
Briefly yours,
Septimus.

A Gun Man Goes
After The Editor
tFrom the 3ellingham American)

Is editing newspaper a fit oc-
cupation for a man who has become
a member of the "Simple Life
cult? Ask Charley Rice. Or safer
still don't ask him, let him speak
by long distance. He says NO in
large black face, upper case words
Of one syllable. And as the saying
goes thereby bangles tale.
Rice has been living at Orcas- Is
land for some time. He has been
living the simple life. But all that
is ended now for Re recently took
over the San Juan Islander, a bright
weekly paper published at Friday
Harbor. Charley celebrated his
first week as editor by going about
over the county visiting his patrons,
getting acquainted and what is more
to the point, writing them up.'
Everybody that is most every
body was glad to see Charley and
get acquainted and it is presumed
that everybody that is most every
body was glad to be written up"
But the same thing that has put
many good man to the bad also
got Charley. Now the gentle read
er imagines, of course, that Charles
got bun on as result of imbibing
too much buttermilk. Not so; j..
Barleycorn had nothing to do with
it. Humor, whose front name is
alleged. is the fellow.
Charley tried to be funny with the
result that he said of a good citizen
Of the island: ''He is hermit and
washes his own Clothes" Outrage
Gus, of course. He had no business
making such a remark about anyone.
No man likes to be called Hermit. !"
No man likes it to be said of him
that he dawdles in wash tub like
any woman. But Charley thought it
was funny. He thought it was q
joke. And many chuckle he
chuckled as he read the words in
print.
Charley was still hugging himself
gleefully when he reached his Olga
home where he goes at the close of
the week to resume the simple life
over Sunday. While he sat dangling
his lower extremities in the brook
that runs by his place-if there is a
brook running by his place. he was
dangling said legs therein, if not he
ought to dig a brook; no home
should be without a brook said
alleged Hermit referred to approach
ed. He didn't really just approach
he rushed in where angels are not
in the habit of treading or otherwise
invading. He tore in, to use q
prize fight term, brandishing one
loaded revolver and one loaded cane.
He also announced which didn't
help Charley's peace Of mind any
that he was about to slay, murder
kill and shoot-also club-one edi
tor.

Editor Islander: A little more
attention to sanitation would be

dition of some of the backyards,
outhouses, and rear entrances beg

on the main street why not use it.
If there is no sewer, the town is
certainly rich enough to afford one.

A Torpid liver

Editor Islander: The matter with
Friday Harbor is: The lack of an
adequate water supply to furnish
that vital fluid to the industries we
already have and others which we
could have. The absence of a sewer
age system to care for the health,
and cleanliness of the town-and a
torpid liver.
