VASHON ISLAND MAY
HOLD WORLD RECORD
We Will Claim it Until Some
Other Community Comes
Forward

Last Monday the editor fell into
causual conversation with l.. c
Beall, Jr., as they were crossing
the Sound for Tacoma, and the
story Mr.. Beall modestly told OF
his poultry records was amazing
to an amatcur,likc the writer. The
most we know about chickens was
learned on a Pennsylvania farm
and centered around the fact that
our mother could cook plym
outh rock hen until it was so good
you'd feel like singing 80, fol
a thousand tongues etc. y Also
we learned that eggs were always
high in the winter when the hens
didn't lay, and cheap in the spring
when they did.
Mr.. Bcall started in to tall,
about scientific feeding, about the
operation of electric lights which
make the winter day as long as
a day in June, about trapnestiug
and pedigreeing, and ancestry
and we sat with open mouth, bat
when he assured us that he had
hens which lay two eggs a day
some days we started to smile,
but we Immediately suw from the
expression on Mr.. Beall'S placid
face that he was actually telling
us the truth. SO we got our pad
and pencil and note one or two
of the records made on his ranch.
We have no reason for believing
these records Guido many other
Vashon- Maury island breeders
like Gilbert, Carver, Morgan, Me
Lean, Kirkland, Siegrist and a
dozen others space forbidS us men
ton.
Out Of a pen Of 1876 birds start
ed in a contest, there was an
average for one year of 23l eggs.
Of the l03 which fnihsed the year
in this particular pen there was
an average credit Of 1862 eggs
to each hen. Mr.. Beall has a
flock of l6 birds which averaged
in one year 292 eggs per hen. He
has a pUllet which started to lay
at ITO days old and laid each
day for 81 days. He has another
pullet which commenced to lay
when she was lis days old and
for the next 230 days laid 20d
eggs, and is still going, He has
a number Of hens on the ranch
which have laid over 300 eggs pei
year. And out Of his entire flock
of pullets last year, there was an
average of 300 eggs per pullet dur.
ing the year.
Our climate, our mild winters
our cool summers, our shade. om
salt-laden air, our proximity to
the markets of the world, and
above all the unusual high intclli,
gence of our larger breederS-all
contribute to make this island as
good as the best, if not in fact
the very best poultry growing see.

SAMARITANS ARE
FOUND EVERYWHERE
Loving Hands Are Extended
With Aid From Every
Direction ....,,,..

Just as we were going to press
last week the story came III oven
the phone Of a certain family Oh
the island in destitute circum
stances. We hadn't time to III
vestigate, so published it as it was
received. Friday we made care
full investigation and found the
family consists Of seven living
children, and the parents. We
printed there were ten living child
rem. There was want and pltlfuI
surroundings on every hand
which We will not describe. The
eXpcctant mother was in bed, twin
children trying to walk couldn I
stand on their twisted feet and
legs, and were clad in nothing
but ii shift-no stockings, under,
wear, or flannel Of any kind about
them. The neighbors Immediately
rendered necessary aid, and suit,
abe care will now be given until
time works out what seems proper
and best.
Clothing came from all dircc,
tons and has been dispatched to
Mrs. Marsh and Mrs. Allison as
we announced. Also consider
able sum Of money has come from
all points of the islands, which
will be expended by the neigh
bors and ladies looking after this
family, for food, fuel and any nee
essary nursing or medicine.
The first response from this end
of the island came from Cove with
$500 enclosed, and the following
note: "Please accept this mite to
help keep our less fortunate neigh
bors. With many thanks for the
opportunity and sincerest wishes
for mother etc" Two Cove Friends
Then came 81 from a Vashon
man with big heart and
many grand children. Mr.. Clausen
brought in bundle Of clothing
and left $1.00. "A man from Sc
attic Ga Mack, by the way sent
us a NJ. O. for s. and West side
friend sent us check for $1,000.
From a North end lady came $500
and from a North end man came
$500. Mrs. Marsh and Mrs. Ali
son have also received money and
clothing and others whose names
we may not mention have respond
| ed gladly and enthusiastically to
this call. The needy family is
now provided for amply, and at
tention will be continued to see
that it is not allowed to suffer
for the necessities again. Vashon-
Maury islanders have proven in
this one act the kind Of stuff of
which they are made. We have
no interest in this work, other
than as good citizen desiring
to help, aid and assist the needy.
The paper has sent the sum of
$4,000, besides clothing to the
women who have the direct work
| in hand.
We are informed the father has
been working most of the winter
at $500 per day and the Oldest
boy, aged Is, has been working
for $3.50 per day. The father
was laid up a few weeks ago for
three weeks with threatened blood
poisoning, and is an honest, up
right man. He hasn't asked for
aid but feels grateful to all who
have rendered it. With proper
food and care the doctor feels the
mother is now going to be able
to undergo the ordeal just ahead.
If timely attention and aid was
ever worthily bestowed, we feel
it was in this particular case, and
thanking all who have responded
we close the story for the present.

Marshal Refuses To Quit

Washington, Dec. 19.-Attorney
General Daugherty's move to get rid
of United States Marshal C. J. Lyon,
of South Carolina; by calling for his
resignation is regarded here as pure
ly political move in line with others
already made to give the big jobs to
Republicans.
In this case, however, he is face to
face with a real fight. Marshal Lyon,
having refused to resign, as advised
by friends in congress, the attorney
general will be put. to the test to find
a way to Dust him. information here
is that no charges have been made
against the marshal, but that his
resignation was called for under the
general complaint that it was "for
the good of the service"
