AN APPEAL TO PATRIOTISM

Friends, the campaign for the
Fourth Liberty Loan, which opens
on this Saturday, September 2sth,
demands the attention OF every
true patriot.
To King county has been assign.
ed the task of subscribing S2S.-
600, 900. Al the time OF this writ
ing we have not been advised of
the quota for Vashon Island. But
whatever il may be there is but
one thing for us to do, and that is
TO raise it,.
Taking the United States MS II
whole, the allotment is about 500
per capita-tlat is all persons, IN
clnding children. If the head Of
each family were TO subscribe $50
for each member the task would
be a simple question in arithmetic.
But we all know there are many
families that cannot do this, there
fore some must take more than
the per capita.
The committee having the cam
paign IN charge does moi contem-
plate any sensational methods,
such as are often rcsorted TO in
the cities. We do not believe such
methods are necessary in this com.
munity, We have no funds TO pay
for brass bands or other attrac-
tions of a similar nature, though
meetings will be held in various
localities should that be deemed
advisable. However, il is the fix
ed intention Of the committee TO
push the canvass with the utmost
vigor, and everyone is expected to
subscribe according to his ability.
The committee wishes to incon-
venience you as little as possible,
therefore, in order to save your
time as well as theirs, we ask that
you sit down in the quiet of your
own home and give the matter
careful yea, prayerful --consid-

mind the blessings you have re-
ceived i'll the past, are now receiv-

days. A couple of weeks ago ii
was surprise party on Mrs. Sci

day a dance given by Mr.. and
Mrs. Crosicr al their residence.
To say that we had a good time
does not do justice to the event.
Ii was fine. fine iinell Every
body danced and KEEP, the floor
polished with foxtrols. waltzes,
etc, including good old 'Vir-
ginia reel. " After a refreshing
with tip-top cake and coffee, we
danced some more and went home
as happy as clans. Dr.llirschberg
says dancing is one of the finest
exercises 10 keep the body supple
and stand off the stiffness of age.
And by jinks he is right, Music
is the poetry of sound and dane
ing is the poetry a motion, and
when you get the combination in
pleasant company you have got
something that is super-excellent
and the best medicine going.
If you like oyster soup, peel and
cut mp some cucumbers, boil till
tender, then make your soup with
milk in the usual way. A blind
man could not tell the difference.
Try it.
Ii seems strange that one big
daily newspaper, both in New
York and London, should have
been misled by the Austrian peace
Either there has been
some Hun influence with those pa
pers, or the editors had the infiu.

brains. Rest assured that any
thing less than a dictated peace
on our part will spell another big
war in the future. President Will
sons head is level and the Huns
can I fool him.

Secretary of Commerce RedGeld
states that 10000 factories in the
United States have been turned
over 10 war work. A great many
things that il was once deemed
impossible TO secure outside Of
Germany are now in wholesale
production in the United States.
Among these commodities are
dyes, and our own factories have
made such progress that Germany
viii never again be recognized in
the industry. All our optical
glass was imported from Germany
before the war. Now there are
two plants in the United States,
and we are forever free of de.
pendence from Germany for our
