claim that sufficient French can DC

However. this course was prepared Win

It is really very simple. and TOT
that reason. wonderful condensation "f

company tho records which are packed
in waterproof cunta liners and arc very
easy To carry. These booklets contain
both the English and French transla-
ton OF sentences which arc ordinarily
used a great deal and are given in
the same order on the record.
There is nothing elaborate about
lessons. Thcy deal with phrases such
as What town is this. "Whern is the
best hotel" the post office, Give me

Plans are now under way, ac-
cording to announcement made
by the National tuberculosis AS
sociation, for five great confer
ences covering the country in ge-
ographical sections from the At
iantic TO the Pacific, to consider
practical methods for coping with
tuberculosis as war problem.
Starting in the Northwestern
states this series Of gatherings
Will extend next TO the south
western group and then work
eastward, taking the south, the
middle Atlantic section aad end
ing with New England.
Means of providing adequate
care for the thousands Of soldiers
and sailors already discharged
from the army and navy on ac-
count OF tuberculosis and the still
greater number rejected in the
draft for the same reason will be
one of the main questions discuss
ed. The closely related question
of educating the civilian popula-
tion more fully regarding tuber-
culosis during the war and thus
combating its further spread in
the community at large, will also
be considered. Not less than
] 100000 persons in the uuited
States, the Association declares,
are today afflicted with this dis
ease, the annual death toll from
which is upward of 100000.
Anti-tuberculosis workers, ply
sicians, local, state and federal
officials, officers of the army and
navy, and many others viii take
part in these conferences. The
program for each section, which
viii differ according 10 local con-
will be announced at an
early date. The first conference
will be held in Spokane, Sept. u
and %.

from exile in castles to all the me-
dieval tortures that can be con
jured by the imagination. Now,
the thing most abominated by
folks of that ilk is WORK, so
what to my mind would be the
greatest punishment that could
be dealt to this bunch of interna-
tional outlaws would be to sepa-
rate them into gangs, garb them
in convicts clothes and place their
names on their backs and chests,
then set them to work cleaning up
all the damage they have done in
Belgium and France; all the dirt
lest jobs, of course and when any
of them died, bury them in big
dung heap until they were all
gathered, then use the heap for
fertilizing the land they have de-
filed.
The two most important officials
for us folks are the county com
missioner and the assessor. Hope
the ones elected will give us IA
square deal in the matter of roads
and ease our punitive tax assess
ment.
Mike is no fool. Pays us a visit
now and then, but seems to prefer
being at Van Olinda's at Glen
Acres. He turned up in time for
breakfast last Sunday with a look
on his face that said plainly,
Here ! am; got anything goodf"
Times are changed. When first
| came to Cove we had to hike
across the Island for our mail.
Now Vashon and other points
have to visit Cove for their mail.
Who would have thought itY
Cove is favored because we have
June with lis all the time. No,
not June month but a winsome
little maiden about three summers
odd Of that name. AS you value
your lives, don't kidnap her as
you pass in your automobile, or
the present war is nothing to what
will happen.

Death Of Byron 5. Wise
OBITUARY

Byron S. Wise was born in Dun
nings, Pa, Oct. 3, 1859, and died
Sept. 7, 1918. He attended the
State Normal School at Blooms
burg, Pa, moved to Nebraska
when II years of age, and was in
the grocery and wholesale fruit
business for several years. He
lived in Boulder, Colo. eleven
years, and from there moved to
Vas,hon Island, March 5, 1909,
where he has since resided. He
was married Oct. 26, 1884, to
Linda A. Carr, who survives him.
-Four children were born, two of
whom are living, Royce, employed
in Seattle, and Mrs. John Wood,
also of Seattle.
Mr.. Wise was well known to
most of the people of the north
half of Vashon Island at least,
and those who knew him bes,
found him a well informed man
on all general subjects; close
student of current events; much
interested in the development OF
his home locality, and genial
wholesouled and companionable
man.
While his health has been poor
for more than year past and his
death not unexpected, it came az
a shock to all in its suddenness
he being found dead by the road
side on his way from home to t
neighbor's, where he was to talk,
an auto for the ferry.
A Friend.
