The committee on geological in

the shad, which are SO unappreciated

that all WAS well with you.

ter to him addressed A. Il. f.,

to get in touch with him. Now, it
may be some time before he writes
to you, as being a major in active
service his duties are many at this
time.

start in telling of the things have
seen since leaving Camp Lewis.

me a world of good. To describe
France would be impossible. Her

one can get an idea Of conditions

CAMULOs CLUB

The Camulos Club met with
Mrs. L. A. Wise at "Fernwood
Farm" Friday, Nov. %. There
was good attendance and sever
al matters of Importance were dis
cussed, among them the Sweet
Pea Show, which on account OF
Red Cross and other war work
was postponed from last summer.
1t was decided to hold the show
as early in the season as possible
(late June or early july on ac-
count of everyone being so busy
with berries and small fruit later.
This is open to all residents of
Vashon- Maury lslands-not just
for the Camulos Club, as many
have inferred. We are inviting all
interested to assist us in showing
that just as good blossoms (there-
fore as good seed) can be grown
here as anywhere on the Coast !;
and who knows but some of the
large dealers may be induced to
grow their sweet pea seed ON Va
shon-M Maury Islands. Surely the
climate is favorable.
Good premiums are already in
the hands of the committee and
more promised. The list will be
published later.
Plant your seed now, and don I
plant mixed packages. Have nam
ed varieties and keep them separ-
ate.

be held on Friday, Dec. 6, with

Dear Aunt Eda:
am sorry haven t written be-

things are doing over here now.
We came ont of the lines a few
days ago and we sure had taste
of war-or, ! might say, a mouth
ful of it. Eight days with Fritz
throwing G. |. cans at you all the
time is sure nerve-racking. We
lad so many narrow escapes, that
is, all of us who came back, that il
doesn't seem as if they ear hit
me. Had machine gun bullet
jurn my nose and another fill my
face full of rocks and dirt. Shrap-
mel hit me three or four times but
my overcoat saved me.
Well, we are hopeful for the cad
soon. They are giving strong re
'istance at certain points along
rhe line. We sure took three ma
chine guns pretty. They opened
up on us, but we charged and took
up marching fire that was too
hot to stand and they took 70 their
heels. Can safely say one Hun
won't bother us again. He was
about 80 yards from me and had
a dead aim-and saw him no
more.

Iron Will continue to be one OF
the greatest necessities of recon-
struction days as well as during waI
time and its sources will not cease
tC he centcrs of world interest. OF
the undeveloped iron-ore districts
the one Of special Importance is an
area about 100 miles square in the
state of Minas Geraes, Brazil, its
center being about $50 miles north
of Rio de Janeiro. The largest de-
posit of this region is stated to con-
tain at least 500, 100000 tons, while
there are numerous smaller deposits
Of 100000 to 50,000,0o0 tons,
and the aggregate quantity Of ore
available is variously estimated up
TO 3,500,0O0,000 tons. Since 1910
English, Americans, French and
Germans have acquired interests in
the deposits. A new railroad gives
means for transport of the ore, and
ans annual production as high as
100000 tons is foreseen, the out
put going chiefly to Great Britain.
This ore field ranks with the worlds
five greatest, the others being the
Lake Superior in the United States,
the Lorraine in northern France
and western Germany, and the dis
tricts Of northern Sweden and the
