Vashon movie fans are lucky,
indeed, in having such a show
here as the Miracle Man. There
are very few small town shows
that have leased this picture, be-
cause it is so very expensive. But
the managers of the movie theatre
here want to give it to the people.
But it means that the fans and the
whole territory must patronize
this big picture in order that we
may at least break even on expens-
es. To show that the boys con-
Quoting the movies are banking on
the support of the fans, they have
just signed contracts for pictures

Few commoGitie., grown on a
farm vary to greater extent in
price during the year than pota-
toes. When the farmer harvests
them he wants to sell them. They
are hard to keep, and retaining
them involves more or less ex-
-pense and some danger of loss
from decay. They are not like
wheat or corn, to be placed in a
bin and forgotten. So most of the
potatoes are sold as soon as they
are dug. The only people prepar-
ed to store and keep potatoes are
the commission men and storage
people, and they are the ones in
the best position to buy up the
crop. The people pay no attention
to the size of the crop. They buy
potatoes and eat them without re
gard to whether there are many or
Few of them. Then along about
this time of year we hear they are
scarce, Then the storage people,
who gambled when they bought
them up, begin to boost the price.
The pototoe now on hand cost the
storage people certain price last
fall, and they are entitled to fair
profit. Any man will grant the JUS
tice of this. But when it comes to
charging such prices as prevail at
this time, it cannot be justified by
saying there are few pototoes, nor
by saying that a man who takes
risks is entitled to remuneration.
The men who bought potatoes last
fall are simply taking advantage
of an opportunity to gouge the
public, and it is certainly about
time the public was given some
kind of protection.
