vashon High School Notes

Congratulations, everybody,
for the good marks on your re
port cards.
Last Tuesday the second, Jan
nary started the new semester.
1t should be a good one for sew
eral reasons: one, because the
time will be a week or so longer
than the first semester; then the
students. some of them, speak of
introducing a few activities which
should put some life into school
society.
The Senior class held a meet
ing on Tuesday night to discuss
ways to get the II class togeth-
er and do something. Up till
now the only live class in school
has been the class of 10. The
latest stunt" of that class is a
newspaper. Clifford Corhir lis
editor in chief; Grace Piatt,
social editor; Fred Eernisse, poet.
They have kept matters too sec
ret for MS to discover the rest of
the staff, but the paper no doubt
will be good.
The End semester brings classes
again in Civics, Trignometry,
Solid Geometry and General
Science.
The first day of the new term
Mrs. Morton did not deliver an
old fashioned lecture to start us
in right. Instead a humorous
article from one of our well
known educators was read. which
may have the same effect without
the sting of scorching lecture
The honor roll begins to look
more like its old l9l5-1916 self.
The names of Ralph, Merrill,
George, and Charles seem famil-
lar, and two new names have
been added lately, Frances and
Hazel.

That Boycott On
Eggs and Butter

Editor Record: | have been
somewhat interested land a good
deal amused) in the alleged boy
colt on butter and eggs by the
ladies of Seattle.
The thought naturally occurs
to anyone who has had a little
experience or observation on
both sides, as consumer and pro
ducer, why don't the good la
dies boycott where there is pos
sibility of doing some good to
themselves without hurting those
who are struggling for a mere
existence as poultrymen and
dairymen, or just plain farm
ers?"
The high price of eggs par
ticularly occurs regularly every
year, simply on account of scare
ity at a certain time of the year,
for short period of two or three
months only. The price is no
higher this year than it has been
every winter, approximately.
If a boycott is successful its
first result will be to put out of
business great many small
producers; its next result will be
greater average price for the
whole year of your eggs. So
you hurt the producer at an in
creased cost to yourselves.
That is the way it looks to me
and to all who see both sides. Of
Ieourse ! don't sympathize with
the Chicago gentleman with his
4, ,ooo,A,0 eggs, nor with any.
body like him. But no such con
ditions exist IN Seattle.
Now, If the goed ladies want
to do some effectnal boycotting,
which will really help them and
not damage anybody but million
aires, why not try it on your ee-
reals, breakfast foods, sugar,
etc? The price you pay per
package for such foods as Pan
cake Flour" and Wheat Hearts
figures up to Sl35.0o per ton;
Roman Meal" $4,000; Shred
ded Wheat Biscuit" $500: Krin.
kle Corn Flakes" $500; "Kel-
logg's Corn Flakes s40o. Sure,
it costs something to make these
things out of the grain, but il
don { cost the difference between
above prices and $50 wheat OF
$50 corn, does it,? And the man
ufacturers don't pay the Seattle
prices for their wheat and corn,
either. Take Rolled Oats:
surely no very expensive pro.
