Splendid Entertainment

The annual play given by the
Vashon high school seniors is an
event of more than ordinary in
terest, one that is anticipated
with great pleasure by all who
have been entertained by the
young folks in former years. And
no one was disappointed on Satur-
day evening last. when "The Lit
tie Politician" was presented.
1t would seem that no better
selection could have been made in
the east of characters, and it Ger
tainly would be unfair to single
out anyone as being the best. Each
act was carried through clevcry
and naturally.
The plot was replete with start
ling situations, depicting the in
trigue practiced by the man Of
small caliber who aspires to an
honorable office.
The instrumental and vocal
numhers were exceptionally good.
Rev. Oastler, representing the
Four Minute Men of the Vashon
Council of Patriotic Service, was
called upon for a brief patriotic
talk, and he did not disappoint
anyone, but stirred all with the
forvor of his address.
The scenery for the different
acts reflected great credit ON the
young people, and represented
much hard work, which was APP
preciated.
The entertainment closed with
a musical number by the ladies
Quartette, after which a com
mittee dispensed ice cream and
cake. The crowd taxed the seat
ing capacity of the Y. NJ. c. A.
hall.

NEW INDUSTRY
Rare Minerals Company Have Installed 80
Ton Mill for Refining Mica From
Mica Schist Ores.

Few people realize that new mining
industry has sprung up in Custer, which
will revive new interest in mining and
60 along way towards bringing back the
former mining boom DAYS of this dis
trict
The Rare Minerals Company, with
main office in Hot Springs, is being fin
anced by Hot Springs capitalists with
Frank Hitch, president W. y. Hunter
of Hunter company, vice president /;
Chas Eastman, secretary -ircosUrer, aud
other prominent men of that city.
The mill is being installed by Joseph
r. Bland, chief engineer in charge, a
mining engineer, recently with the
American Tin and Tungsten company,
also the Custer Peak Mining company
near Deadwood. Mr. Bland has install
ed new method of refining fine mica
from mica schist ore, by means Of dry
classification and seleCtiye screening
thereby eliminating the old expensive
methods of tabling, washing aud flter-
ing, etc. The mill is also equipped for
the treatment ofTin, Tungsten, Uranium,
Nanadium, Graphite, and other rare
minerals.
The company has acquired some of the
best mining property to be had, not only
within the close proximity of Custer,
but also have extensive holdings in
Oreyile. The mill has a 80 ton capacity
per day and is so arranged that a second
unit can be added to increase the tom
mage to 60 tons per day without in any
way interfering with mill operations.
The mill will be ready for operation
about the 20th of December. When in
full operation the company will employ
about 80 men mining and milling,

IN MEMORIAM.

On Dec. 5th, 1918, the Grim Reaper
entered our ranks and took from US our
beloved Anna K. Kirk, Chief of Cere-
monies. We have sustained a great loss
as Sister Kirk was loyal and faithful at
all times and a kind, helpful sister. Our
beloved sister who was SO recently called
to her Heavenly home, became mem
Der of Point of Rocks Lodge No 10, D.
of H., the 18th day of July, 1902, being
charter member. Sister Kirk has ever
been deeply interested in and devoted
to her duty and an earnest conscientious
worker in the Degree Of Honor as she
was elsewhere. Our Heavenly Father
has called her home. 1t is hard for US
to let her go. We shall miss her so
much and feel that she was needed so
much here, but God knows what is best
always, even if we can not understand
We miss her sunny, cheerful disposi-
ton, never complaining or fault-fnding
No matter how great her own trouble or
sorrows she never burdened her friends
with them. She was devoted loving
wife and mother the kndest, truest
friend aud neighbor one could have.
Honored and respected by all who knew
her, Sister Kirk was never too busy to
stretch out helping hand to any one in
need or ever ready to speak word Of
encouragement to all who need.
We cannot say and will not say that she Is
| dead-she is just away,
With CHEEKY smile and wave of the hand
| She has entered into ialrer land
| And left us dreaming how very fair
| It needs must be since she fingers there,
But YOU oh YOU, with widest yearn
| for the old time step and the glad return
| Think of her as the same, | say,
She is not dead-she is just away

RED CROSS ROLL CALL
The American Public is Asked to Respond
With Universal Membership
Christmas Week.

OF all the obseryances Of Christmas
the American people have known the
one this year will be most in keeping
with the true spirit of the day. Self
centered exchanging of gifts will be little
in evidence because our resources are
pledged to much more important use.
The Red Cross Christmas Roll Call is
conceived in the new light When the
American man, woman or child pays
the nominal membership dues the action
far transcends an ordinary contribution
Wherever people are starving, wherever
they are sick, wherever they lack shel.
ter, the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call
will stand for renewed hope and the
promise of efficacious relief.
How necessary, then, that the answer
of the American people should be over
whelmng The amount of money rails
ed is secondary. The world will meas
ure our humanitarian purpose by the
number of names enrolled. II the word
goes out that FORTY MILLION Ameri-
cans have joined the Red Cross or a
greater number all mankind will be re-
vived by the practical proof of our
idealism.
Those who have been on the firing
line know that the work Of the Red
Cross will not end with the proclaiming
of peace. In many respects the demands
upon the Red Cross will increase as new
fields of relief are opened. The read
justment period will present many op-
portunities for sharing our abundance
with our world neighbors, who are at
rock bottom in every human respect.
Every American will be thinking
along this line because the needs in
Europe and Asia will stand forth with
insistent call to his aud her sympathy.
In the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call
the aim is to place the entire American
people on record as approving the Red
Cross spirit. Such approval will make
every dollar expended abroad have a
sacred significance to the benefciaries.
To register YOUR approval of the
Red Cross all you need is heart and a
dollar
