BOOSTS OUR LIBRARY

In the way of appreciation and
encouragement to those who start
ed the present little library, l
wish to say that the work done
and the interest shown is of great
Importance to our community and
for them to cease their efforts
would be a direct loss to those
who benefit now and those that
will need it later. The Public
Library, together with the church
and school have been the advance
agents of civilization across the
continent from coast to coast and
from north to south, and alt that
lies between since the days Of
Plymouth Rock and the arrival of
the PuritanS. Millions have been
freely offered and received to es-
tablish this important branch of
public welfare and enlightment
and the Importance Of this work
cannot be measured by dollars
and cents but fully realized when
all shall have an opportunity to
rest in the sunshine of good
books.
The writer can see with his
minds eye the increase and devel-
opment of the Vashon Public NIB
rary to an extent that will only
be confined by the shores of the
island. No more central place
and location could be found for a
permanent building and beautiful
site than across the street east of
the bank and with the compile
ton of the grand boulevard.
What could be more convenient
than fine small substantial well
arranged library building to cost
say u to Is thousand dollars ex.
elusive of books and grounds. My
heart and limited purse strings
are in harmony in this movement

DIRECTIONS FOR TREAT
ING SEED POTATOES

Using the corrosive sublimate
(mercuric choride) method.
l. Seed stock to be washed
clean.
9. Dip in water or sprinkle
thoroughly and allow to stand in
the moist sacks for Il to "a hours
lover night.)
8. Dip in corrosive sublimate
80 minutes, using 4 ounces to 80
gallons of water, in open watts
or crates and not in burlap sacks,
The corrosive sublimate should be
dissolved in hot water and dilut-
ed to requisite volume
4. For each four bushels of
clean seed add one half ounce of
the chemical, corrosive sublimate,
keeping the volume of the solu-
ton constant. Discard entirely
after eight treatments.
5. Treat preferably be for
sprouting but at least two weeks
before planting and dry the seed
Immediately after treatment.
This treatment is the most reli-
able for controlling such diseases
as blackleg, true scab, powdery
scab, Rhizoctonia and silver scurf.
Be careful with this poison.
Corrosive sublimate is deathly
poison. 1t will not injure the
hands when used in the strength
mentioned, but care should be
taken to keep children and all
animals away from it. When a
solution is ready for discard, pour
it away where stock cannot get it.
All treated seed not planted must
be thrown away, preferably bur
led deeply.
Use only wooden vessels for the
solution. A wooden barrel is con
venient for small lots. A wooden
tank is best when two or more
acres are to be planted.

or see A. B. Nystrom, county
agent, AIS County City Building,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

The little children Of Ellisport
were delightfully."- entertained by
Mrs. Maurice Dunsford on Mon
day afternoon, in honor of her lit
tie daughters birthday, Bonnie
Marie. A very large decorated
cake, gift from a fond uncle in
Seattle, and bearing on top in
pink letters, greetings, and the
name of the little Miss, delighted
not only the children and the
mothers of the little folks who
were present, but other friends
who were remembered with gen
crous slice. With colored brick
ice cream, cookies and dainty
souvenir baskets of candy, the
children had treat long to be
remembered.
The invited guests were Frances
Mcmillan, Betty Sue Lee, Beth
Coates, Eva Maud Furbush, Betty
Jane Wendler and Duncan New
man, Jr.
1t was a very happy custom,
indeed among the mothers here
to celebrate the birthday anniver-
saries of the little ones, and it is
well, for they will be bright spots
in memory throughout life. More
over, such joy days help to keep
the older ones young. In the
words of the beloved "children's
poet" Longfellow:
Oh what would the world be to uE
If the children were no morei
We should dread the desert be
hind us
Worse than the dark before.
What the leaves are to the forest,
With light and air for food,
Ere their sweet and tender juices
Have been hardened into wood.
That to the world are children;
Through them it feels the glow
Of brighter and SUMMER climate
Than reaches the trunks below.
Come to me, O We childrenl
And whisper in my ear
What the birds and winds are
singing
In our sunny atmosphere.
For what are all our contrivings
And the wisdom Of our books,
When compared with your
careSSeS,
And the gladncss of your looks.
Yc are better than all the ballads
That ever were sung or said;
For ye are living poems,
And all the rest are dead.
Come to me, O we children!
For | hear you at your play,
And the questions that perplexed
me
Have vanished quite away.
Ye open the eastern windows,
That look toward the sun,
Where thoughts are singing
swallows
And the brooks Of morning run.
In our hearts are the birds and
sunshine,
In our thoughts the brooklets
flow,
But in mine is the wind of autumn
And the first fall of the snow,
