Residents at the Heights were
shocked to learn of the death of Mrs.
Galley, wife of the pastor of the M. +.
church at Vashon. 1t was so sudden
and of course, unexpected. Nothing
can be said or done that can appease
the sorrow that has overtaken Mr..
Galley and his family, at this time, but
we all extend our sympathy.
The people on the Island are making
a mistake in not holding fair this
year. Every dollar spent to exhibit
and advertise what we grow on the Is
land viii return tenfold, sometime.
Let us hold 4 fair, if for only one day,
by all means
Mr.. Aabling, of the firm of Aabling
s Boyce, Seattle, was at the Heights
last Friday. He came to see Elmer
Hameling's rutabagas and the view at
beautiful Vashon Heights He says
rutabagas are the most profitable crop
with less work than anything connect
ed with the farm. Mr.. Harmeling
planted one acre from the seed last
August, and this year transplanted five
acres from this growth. The harvest
from the original acre will yield, ac-
cording to Mr.. Aabling's opinion, at
least one hundred and eighty dollars.
Can any one beat it? The reader is in
vited to call on Mr.. Harmeling and let
him explain. And while he is talking,
just take look across the bay toward
Seattle.
