CORDOVAN ONE OF EARNEST
 AT FRONT

Mrs. o. E. Jones is in receipt of letter from pal of her son who met his death in France fighting for his country in which a glowing tribute is paid to our former townsman, John E. Jones. The letter was written by Sherman l.. Sloan, a Seattle boy, who is a member of the Twenty-third con- pany, sixth machine gun battalion, U. s. Marines, American Expeditionary Force. It is from Ringsdorf, Ger many, under date of May 15, and follows:
 Mrs. o. P. Jones,
 Cordova, Alaska. @
 My Dear Mrs. Jones:
 I think it behooves me, as friend and fellowMarine to send these few words to the mother of one of the noblest, bravest Marines that ever fought and died in freedoms cause, on the field of honor. Jack was my friend; we enlisted together at Seat tie, at Mare Island we were bunkies, we went to Tuantico and France to- gether. When he reached the front, much to our grief, we were separated, Jack being transferred to the 18th company, End battalion, Fifth Marines, while I was sent to join Marine machine gun company. Our machine gun company, however, was attached to the Second battalion, so I saw Jack quite often. He always did his duty and more, he never failed to lend a helping hand to comrade, many times endangering his own safety in so doing.
 The last time I saw Jack was at the beginning of the Meuse-Argonne drive, while we were on the march towards the front about November 1, 1918. had searched for news of him through out his company but heard so many different reports that I didn't know exactly which one to believe, Today, I met a corporal from the 18th com pany, and he told me after I inquired about Jack, that he was nearby when Jack was killed by a bursting shell on the night of November 10, near Beaumont while we were crossing the Mouse river to the attack on the Mouse heights; the night before the armistice. We lost great many of the finest men in the Marine brigade seems as though war claims the best
The Cordova daily times., 1919-06-24

of men and Jack was one of those.
 When I asked the corporal of the 18th company if he knew Jack Jones, he said, Why, yes!. Jack Jones from Alaska He was one of the finest, bravest, men I ever knew. Every man in the company thought the world of him. He was killed in action by an exploding shell the last night. There were more men that grieved over his loss than any other. He was man, through and through"
 will try to get the corporal to writeto you He may know more de- tails concerning Jacks heroic death, as they were both in the same con- pany.
 With sincerest regard and sympathy in your grief at the loss of such a noble son; who was to all of us a com rade and true Marine.

ENGLAND DECIDES ON CHEAP ELECTRICITY FOR
 HEATING AND LIGHTING

LONDON, June 24 (by Associated Pres). .-.England is preparing to pro vide herself with cheap and abundant electricity for heating, lighting and manufacturing purposes at an initial cost of approximately S1o9,o2D, ,a9H The bill to accomplish that result has been introduced in parliament by the home secretary and with the endorse ment of the government as well as of people of all classes, it is expected to become law in the very near future
 The plan for placing the country on an electrical basis provides for it's division into districts, each district to be in charge of 0 commission. Tlis body, whose members are to hold of flee at the pleasure of the king will plants and transmission lines already built and to build such plants and lines as it may deem necessary. The commissioners are to conduct experi- ments for the purpose of improving methods of supply for which purpose they will be empowered to call to their assistance an advisory commit tee of unquestioned experts.
 It is not the purpose of the govern ment to build all the electrical ap- paratus in the country but private cor porations entering the field must ob- tain the consent of the government and abide by it's regulations.
 Water power will be extensively used in generating electricity to re- duce the cost and to stimulate it's use for manufacturing and domestic pur poses.

RETURNED ITALIANS
 ADOPT AMERICAN IDEAS

ROME, June "A (by Associated Press) The Italian who has lived long in America is helping to Ameri- canize Italy more potently than other factors could. He has introduced American ideas and American ways of doing things at every possible turn when it is practical and more efficient than the Italian.
 The Italo-American has brought back from America an idea of better housing conditions and if he decides to settle again in Italy he builds a home patterned along American lines with plenty of space around it and with it's division of rooms. Most Ital- ian families of the farming sections are accustomed to live in one large room while large numbers live in matched hunts which dot the sides of mountains hidden among the trees and brush Several families live in what would seem an ordinary American family's habitat.

Y. N. c. A. RECREATION HALL

Vashon and Maury Islands are
greatly in need of Il place where
the young men of the different
communities can get together for
"A social time where the influences
are of a clean, moral and spiritual
nature. The population of this
territory is rapidly increasing,
and as labor conditions in the cit
les are of such an uncertain ma
ture, there will soon be even a
greater movement toward the
country. As the Islands lie tribu-
tary to two large centers of indus
try-Seattle and Tacoma-it is to
be expected that there will be a
large number of young men com
ing to this locality. Consequently
it behooves the Island residents TO
provide suitable places of amuse-
ment of the right sort to keep the
young men away from pool halls,
etc. The Vashon Y. NJ. c. A. has
decided to hold a Grand Carnival

The State of Washington uses
each year approximately 4,254, 900
bushels of cereal seed, valued at
present prices at over 81 100000.
OF this amount II per cent is OBJ
tanned by one farmer from an
other, - per cent from legitimate
seed dealers, and 81 per cent is
grown on the farm on which it is
used for seed purposes. Fifty-eight
per cent of the seed corn and only
l3 per cent of the seed potatoes
are sold by dealers. Approximate
ly 1000 tons of seed potatoes are
used in Washington annually. This
year not more than three hundred
tons of certified seed are avail
able, hence there is not much dan
ger of flooding the market.
