met only one person that talked

In the Records "Observa-
tions" column last week, Mr..
Guffy is reported as saying that
one of two things must happen,
the price of feed come down or
the price of eggs go up. or off
goes the chickens head Mr..
Guify must have misunderstood,
for the opposite has happened.
The price Of feed has advanced
and the price of eggs has de
clined. Yes, they get you comm
and 'goin'.
An acquaintance of the writer,
who recently returned from a
visit at Vancouver, B. c., says
that a pail hangs over every
family in canada some one has
done his bit and given his life
for his country. Those who
have returned, many manned for
life, are loud in their praise of
the work Of the Red cross. With
out this help, they claim, more
than one half of those who are
home, would not be there, You
cannot estimate the good ii does.
And yet we meet people who
make any excuse rather than
help IN this patriotic and noble
cause. Sell a chicken, sell a
sack OF potatoes, or anything,
and sacrifice any way possible to
get a dollar to help care for the
disabled who must have done
their BEST 10 save MS from the
tyranny of the Kaiser.
1t was a pleasure to read an
article from the pen of Ivan

line and lets the chips fall where
they may : There is lots OF
threshing to be done on the Is
land and we hope he will be one
of the harvesters.

vashon High School


Grace Piatt was awarded first
prize in the song contest. We
are very proud of the song as
well as the writer. The song is
as follows:
TUNE: ''The wearing of the Green. -
There's school on yashon Island
That is dear TO one and all
Who've ever spent day within
Her wide assembly hall.
There a charm about our high school
That just grips you by the heart,
And when our jolly crowd meets
there.
We never want 10 part.
But our days all here together
MAY not last so very long,
So while we may let's toast our school
And praise her high in song,
Chorus:
Here's toast 10 Vashon high school:
Let us pledge her in this glass:
And may the day she is defeated,
Never come to pass.
1t is sad for those who meet us
On the diamond for baseball:
Wer'rc sure to give tn opposing team
\ mighty fainful fail.
II is sad for those who meet us
On the field in any game:
They greet us feeling bumptious-
When we're thru they're very tame.
And there's not student in this school
But who is mighty glad
of ali the days he'll have with us.
As well as those he's had.
Chorus:
