brief space Of six months. He

as was possible to bring as lug
ga re, and he demonstrated set
ting up tent; the way a gas
mask is adjusted and worn; ex-
nibited the soldiers kit" for
use as first aid in case OF injury:
also the comlnissary outfit cup,
frying pan and condiment set.
Altogether his manner was so
engaging and the description SO
interesting. that his audience was
sorry when he modestly an
nounced that he was through.
Miss Eunice Fisher delighted
the audience with violin solo
and responded to an encore. Miss
Fisher is a finished musician and
a line violinist. Vashon people
will always giver her a cordial
welcome.
Mr.. Steele, an attorney of Sc
attic, representing the county
council Of defense, spoke at
length on different phases of the
world war, of Germany 5 attitude

End Young People Enjoy Get
Together Party

Miss Emma Larson, who is at
tending the U, of W, came out
Thursday and stayed over the
week end.
The Misses Olive Cross and
Marguerite and Mable Hedland
and Messrs, Arthur Swanson,
William and Charlie Hiersch,
Glea Stedman and Roy Knee
bone came over from Seattle,
Saturday evening, to attend the
get-together party.
Mr.. NJ. w. Peterson is visiting
in Everett with his son, who
came over for him in his ma
chine last Monday. Mr.. Peter
son has been quite sick for some
time, and it is hoped that the
change will help him.
Hi Gill is credited with hay
ing made the statement that he
is going to run for prosecuting
attorney, and that his first act,
if elected, will be to chase DR..
Matthews out of town. While
there are doubtless many people
who would like to see DR.. NJ. re-
moved, it is not very likely that
they will give Hi the task of
ejecting him.
Remember the school election
Saturday. If think a change
is needed, turn out and help
bring it about. On the other
hand, if you think the present
board is satisfactory, make an
effort to retain it. But whatever
you do, vote; don't be a Stacker.
We understand there are two
candidates for director this year:
Mr.. |. H. Torrance is a candidate
for re- election. and is opposed
by Mrs. r. A. Keebaugh.

grieved to hear last week of the
death Of Mr.. Frank Bedford. He
had been ailing for some time,
and about three months ago fell
and broke two or three ribs, after
which he was taken TO Seattle
hospital. But his troubles at
fected his mind. and about a
month ago he was removed to an
asylum at Sedro- Woolley, at
which place he died. Mr.. Bed
ford was As years of age. He
leaves a wife and four sons. In
terment took place at Woodland,
Wash.
A get-together party was given
by William Hiersch at his home
here on Saturday evening Mus

of the evening. which were en-.

explicit, an early hour. Those

After twenty one years of &c

the people of the island with a
boat service, Mr. Matthew Nc
Dowell, the veteran, has aban-
doned the east side run and sold
all his boats except the Dart.
We have been resident OF the
Island for eight years and in that
time have heard ninety per cent
