The Trade Register mentions seed
industry as zone of the future pos
siblities of the Western Washing
ton," and in the same article says:
"More than 800 acres in the Skagit
valley are devoted to cabbage seed
raising" and that Puget Sound pea,
bean, tomato, cabbage, and cauli-
flower seed have high reputation
everywhere. We will add that
farmers of San Juan county have
contracted to plant hundreds of
acres of peas this year for seedmen.
Isn't all this enough to warrant say
ng that the seed industry is more
than future possibility"

velopments to come have suggested
that one of the worst ailments that
aff1ict us today is the withdrawal of
art from popular interest. We may
take schoolchildren to the museum
by the roomful. So schoolboys have
been marched in squads to church.
Yet it is the religious household that
makes the company of the faithful.
And to-day we are asking, Where is
the art in the home? Who owns
sculpture besides the gentry Of
great estates and the builders Of
palaces? Good paintings rank
with diamonds and motors and
yachts. Meanwhile, the things
which people must have, chairs and
tab es, mjlk-pitchers chandeliers,
stoves, and hat-racks, are from an
artistic view point as dead as a
door-nail. The reason is quite fam
liar. They are no longer made by
artists or even by artizans of the
most udimentary creative intention.
From realization of this condition
arose that holy war proclaimed in
the last century against the ma
chine, an embodiment of noble
conviction, but an act of stark fan
atheism. New York Evening Post.

The state bureau of inspection re-
norts that in 1910 three counties IN
the state, Island. San Juan and
Wahkiakum, collected from all
sources for all purposes less money
than it cost to conduct the office of
treasurer in King county. In San
Juan county the office Of county
treasurer cost the taxpayers only
1921 in the year it 1910, which is
the smallest amount spent for the
same department in any county in
the state.

The mnaager of the Islander en-
joys seeing boys engaged in sport,
but his business does not warrant
supplying porcelain letter window
signs for them to tear off and scat
er about the streets. Customs col
lector and insurance agent, o. H.
Culver, is anything but pleased at
finding his insurance sign and the
y. S. Customs sign stripped off and
scattered with the printing and sta
tionery signs. This .iece of van
dalism was a part Of the proceed
ings of party of youngsters Tues
day night. The same boys tore
show posters from the Islander Of
flee and other places down the street
the same night. At former times
quite recently photographer McCor-
mick's studio has been pelted with
rocks and mud. DR.. C. 0. Reed S
glass sign over his Office door has
been broken in the night time, evil
IDENTIFY by missiles thrown through it.
L. B. Carter's warehouse on the
dock and other buildings at the low
er end of town have been ruthlessly
damaged and disfgured, evidently
by the same gang. In the face of
these facts alone, TO say nothing of
the accompanying disturbance of
the public peace by profanity and
carousing, it seems to the Islander
that the City Council should adopt
measures to prevent continuance
of such vandalism. Until it is stop
ped the town is liable to go up in
smoke. The leaders in this devil
ment are known to be reckless and
irresponsible, and more than liable
to commit greater crimes if per-
mitted to run their wild course.
Then too they draw younger, inno-
cent boys into their circle, teaching
them disrespct for law and decency.
Inc Islander hopes official action
will be taken to preserve order and
protect property from being de-
stroyed just for devilment.

A stump burning process recent-
ly devised promises to be a success
in the matter of getting away with
stumps at small cost. 1t consists
simply of digging a space a few
inches deep at one side of the
stump, starting a fire and building it
over with bricks, the principle IF
the operation seeming to lie in the
absorption and conservation of the
heat by the porous bricks, which
fall in and keep pressing against
the wood as the fire advances, thus
maintaining hot contact and con-
suming the charcoal formed, which
in other methods deadens the fire.
The simplicity of the idea is it's
most striking feature.

The existing state of the evidence
regarding the vexed question of the
discovery of America by the North
men is summed up by Henri Wig
maud in a paper published in the
journal of the Society of American
lists (Paris). Mr.. Vignaud has spent
his life in the diplomatic service,
mostly at our embassy in Paris, and
is besides an authority on early
American exploration. He believes
TIE Mortimer did really reach
North America, probably some
where on Labrador, but he thinks
that this conclusion rests in the
statements of the Sagas alone, all
other evidence being either falsifed
or misunderstood. There is not, he
ayers. the slightest shred of evi-
dence that the No. thmen were ever
in New England, much less farther
inland.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov.
29.-Congress will convene
Monday, to al! intents and pur-
poses. That is all, or practi-
cally all, of the solons will be
IN the city and ready for the
work of the short session.
As the time for the opening
draws nearer and the number
of Democratic leaders reach
town the greater becomes the
certainty that no tariff legisla-
ton will be attempted at the
short session. It is felt, say
many of the more prominent
lawmakers here, that even if
the Democrats were in pos tion
to put through any of their pro-
posed measures they would no.
have time in which to do so,
even if the necessary work of
passing the appropriation bill
should be completely ignored.
As a matter of fact there is
very little probability that Con-
.gress win do more at the COM
ing session than to deal with
the more important matters Of
appropriation, leaving other
things to be taken care of at a
special session if the incoming
president decided to cal lone.
Little or nothing is being
said of an extra session, but it
is taken for granted that Mr.
Wilson's first act will be to
summon Congress to deal with
tariff and other measures as
soon after his Inauguration as
possible.
