Island Booster Located
In State Of New York

Kinnicinnick Farm is the name
given the old Price place by p. S.
Pettelle when he purchased this
30 acre tract about five years ago.
1t has just been leased for gen
eral utility farm, with special at
tention to poultry raising. Mr..
Pettellc now makes his home at
Hastings -on-lludson, New York
State, having been appointed EX-
port Sales Manager for the Carna-
ton Milk Products company, with
whom he was associated in Seattle
for many years. Kinnicinnick
Farm is not for sale. Mr. Pettclle
expects TO return some day to
make it his home during the clos
ing years Of his life, rallying
point for his family Of boys and
girls. Mrs. Pettellc was formerly
Miss Cuma Winery and perhaps
that lone grave in Vashon Gene
terry where Brother Jim Winery
was laid just year ago is not the
least magnetic sentiment that will
eventually draw this family home
again to Nashon Island.

Move on To Name
Bryan For President

Before this issue Of the News
Record is in the hands of our read
ers it is probable that the Prohibi-
tinists will have named candi-
date for president and vice-presi-
dent on national ticket for that
party. At this moment it looks
very much as if William ]. Bryan
would be drafted for that Job,
with Billy Sunday as his running
mate, Mr.. Bryan made the fight
of his life at San Francisco to in
sert an out-and-out dry plank in
the democratic platform and fail
ed. The third party which met
in Chicago last week named Par
ley Christensen, of Salt Lake City,
Utah for president. Mr.. Christen-
sen was born in Idaho and was
former newspaper man. That
makes three named already from
the newspaper profession, and
should Mr.. Bryan be named by the
prohibitionists, it would give us a
big four-as he has made great
success, at least for himself, of the
Commonor Of Lincoln, Nebraska,
a weekly paper founded by him
more than twenty years ago.

ANOTHER PIONEER
MEETS DEATH
William c. Holmes Dies From
Result Of Accidental
Injury

William G. Holmes, Familiarity
known as "Billy Holmes" to those
who were fortunate enough to
know him, was in the prime of life
and health week ago to-day,
while as we write this account the
whole community is sad because
Of his sudden and untimely death.
On Wednesday of last week he
was carrying a mortar box on his
back, when in some unknown man
ner his legs gave way, he fell with
the box on him, knew he was sew
erely injured, the physician was
called, his injuries proved to be
internal, and on Friday morning
he passed away. The funeral SER
vices were conducted on Saturday
afternoon by Rev. Gebert, assisted
by the Rev's. Ward and Brokaw,
at the NJ. E. Church of Vashon,
and interment was made in the
Island cemetery. The funeral ser
vices were largely attended.
Billy Holmes was born in the
state of Michigan about 81 years
ago and was a pioneer of the is
land here. Coming to Vashon Is
land about II years ago, he had
made acquaintance with nearly
everyone on the island, and every
one with whom we have spoken,
concerning Mr.. Holmes has the
highest word to speak Of him as a
man, neighbor, and citizen.
He was married to Mrs. Wilson
about two years ago and his
widow, with host of friends, are
left to mourn his sudden death.

POULTRYMEN UNITE
in CALIFORNIA
Vashon Island Growers To
Consider Same Question
Monday Night

Aaron Sapiro, the well-known
San Francisco corporation at
torney, is the attorney Of the
Poultry Producers of Central Cal
ifornia, Inc, and several other
similar organizations. On the sub
iect of marketing organizations
for agricultural producers he is
one of the best informed men in
California. The Produce News
gives the following brief synopsis
of lecture delivered by Mr.. Sap
iro at Seattle:
"Trust your fellow-grower be-
fore you trust the speculator'
eff the farmers cant cooperate
they deserve Adversely
"Organize your communities
and not your localities. F"
"When you meet talk business
and not politics.
Above are q few of the maxims
for success to cooperative farm
ers enterprises which were given
to $50 Inland Empire agricultur-
lists Thursday afternoon by Aaron
Sapiro, attorney for the California
Prune and Apricot growers As
ISOLATION, at the state federation
of farm organizations convention
in Spokane.
Mr.. Sapiro was one of the most
interesting speakers to appear be
fore the chautauqua which closed
last Thursday night. He issued
the challenge toWashington farm
ers to secure results as they have
done in California. His convinc-
ing argument aroused enthusiastic
applause and his ready wit kept
the audience in good humor
California spent so millions in
learning how to cooperate, +" de
clared the speaker, "but do not
organize in localities and attempt
to solve. the problems confronting
the whole group of producers: but
we organize by commodities and
work out our individual economic
difficulties. Yet the rest of the
United States goes on in the same
old rut, refusing to gain by our
experiences.
"Next we organize right with
the necessary capital and then we
hire the best brains in the country
to solve our marketing situations.
We do not start with 10 men but
we secure enough producers that
we may control the markets.
Every producer is treated alike
and gets exactly the return to
which he is entitled.
cit was the farming element of
the country that brought prGhibi-
ton into effect. That was an ex-
ample of organized social think
ing. The same results may be
obtained by grouping for econom-
ic reasons. Don't delude yourself
into thinking, however, that you
know so much about marketing
that you can secure a better price
than your fellow grower.
"The Armour grain company
has information that the wheat
farmers have no way Of obtaining,
They have hired experts to keep
them informed, and it is up to the
farmers to use the same methods.
If the farmers cooperate they can
hire experts as easily as the Ar
mour grain company and drive
out the Spectator. Farmers have
common interests and there should
be no competition between them.
Their common enemy is the grain
manipulation.

Home Convenience Shows
For King County

Every man and woman who at
tends one Of the coming Home
Convenience Shows to be staged
by the King County Farm Bureau
will enjoy a real treat.
The business of caring for the
physical and moral needs of a
family besides attending to the
garden and poultry is indeed a
real occupation and unless carried
on by efficient methods leaves no
time or energy for a woman to be
a companion to her family or her
neighbors.
Farm Bureau women state that
they need to become more familiar
with available equipment which
will Tighten labor and lessen
drudgery, so on this occasion will
pool their own best labor savers
with those of the Home Demon
stration Agent and the local and
city dealers. There will be every
convenience from a Is cent plate
scraper to modern light and power
plants, and all those who attend
may make comparisons and have
questions answered without be-
ing expectedsto buy as nothing
will be for sale.
Shows will open to the public
from l until 5 p. m. as follows:
July %, Bothell, -Bothell High
School.
July 30, Observation-Disclosures

July 80, Observation-Disclosures

The above article is published
Just as received from Edna Z.
Walker the Home Demonstration
Agent, and we are going to have
the audacity to ask why Vashon.
Maury Island isn't included
among the places in King county
where these demonstrations are to
be given?
Are we not taxpayers? Have
we no women who are deserving
of every modern convenience I?
Is not the Vashon- Maury Island
part of King county /? Must we
do our duty on taxpaying day,
and get no recognition on other
days ? We desire to give notice
right here and now that the people
of these islands from now on will
take the tail end of nothing unless
it be cut off right back of the ears.
We are a part of King county, we
are a vital part of King county,
we have no apologies to offer for
our island people and our island
homcs-all we ask, and from now
on we expect to receive, equal re-
cognition with every other part of
the county.
P. S. If this be treason, make
the most Of it !
