IN EVERYTHING GIVE
THANKS

W Z think Shakespeare said
w something about ingratitude
being a marble-hearted fiend. We
are led to cogitate over this mat
ter as a result of recent trip
made back to western Idaho.
True there are bumper crops
there, and excellent people, and
good roads, and a that. But 0,
the heat!
On Tuesday, the Dist, we ate
luncheon in Payette, Idaho with
the L. c. Beall ,Ir. and 7. Hansen
families. After the MONDAY meal
we ali meandered out to the high
school park to get the shade, and
there beneath those mighty elms
we wiped the sweat and struggl-
ed for breath and talked of the
a-breezes of Vashon island.
Do we, to the Goth part of one
poor scruple, commence to ap-
Ipreciate our wonderful climate
here? No sweltering heat-no
pesky mosquitoes-no swarming
tiies-no poisonous reptiles-no
banks of snow-no droughts Of
rain-no sweeping floods-no-
0, what's the use-iust a bit of
extra rain once in a blue moon,
an yet We crab about it How
sharper than a serpent's tooth it
is to have a thankless lot of
crabbers. But some folks would
kick if they were playing foot
ball.

NO LUXURY-A NECESSITY

THE movement now on foot
L to provide a suitable walk
from Vashon north to the High
School building is not a luxury
it rs a necessity. About AZ
families will be directly interest
ed in this walk, having children
or wards who will use it twice
daily during the coming school
year. But it is more than a per
Sonal affair-it is so needful to
protect life from harm and acct
dent that it becomes a public
matter. We understand there are
no available funds from the coun-
ty road fund for this work, and ii
would likely be an Illegal eXpen-
ditufe of money if there Were
available funds. If the road
supervisor was called upon to
sidewalk this streatch of roads,
others would demand a like i'm
provement all along the pave
ment, and that would be an end
less job. So we must not expect
the road boss to do this work.
1t is really up to the people Of
the Vashon section-those living
south of the school building. 1t
will take a lot of labor, and some
material, and it is hoped and
confidently expected the work
will be donated, and the neces-
sary money contributed to buy
the lumber and nails, Give it
boost-it is a meritorious under
taking.

VASHON ISLAND BILL PASS
ED BY SENATE

THE NaShQn military rcserva-
ton bill passed the United
states Senate Monday and will
be signed this week by the Prcsi-
dent, according to telegram re-
ceivcd yesterday from Congress
man Albert johnson by John A.
Rea of Tacoma, who has been
representing the 80 or 60 settlers
who will be benefited by the
measure. The bill has already
passed the House. The bill is to
settle the status Of land held by
the VaShon settlers, who have
been holding it under lease from
the war department.
This tract of land lies on the
south end of the island and has
been surveyed into fifty two, ten
acre tracts. As soon as the nee.
eSsary red tape has been unrav-
eled, a fee simple title will be
possible, and these tracts will be
Subdivided, and more families
will find homes in one of the
beauty sections of the island. If
everything comes to him who
patiently waits, it would look as
though this island is about to
come into that which of right be-
longs to 1.-THE pmest gem in all
of Puget Sound.

INTO ITS OWN

IT HE Pacific Northwest is be
ginning to come into its
own. Scarcely a week passes
that some convention or other
isn't being held in eth e r
Seattle or Tacoma, Next Sun
day begins the big convention
of the Pacific Coast Advertising
League in Tacoma. Upwards of
1000 delegates and visitors will
be in the City of Destiny from
outside points. From Tacoma
they will depart, singing the
praises of Puget Sound scenery
and climate. Next year the
Northern Baptist convention will
be held in Seattle. This will
mean thousands of people here
from all over the country. At
present VaShon Maury islands
are getting only the overflow.
Some plan should be adopted to
get a goodly number of these
different delegates, to various
conventions in Tacoma and Seat
tie, over to the island. Some
understanding with the commer-
cial clubs of the two cities might
induce them to incorporate a
water trip to the islands as
special feature of nearly every
convention. No prettier trip
could be found on the globe.

FAT TIMEs-FAT PEOPLE

A DOCTOR with u sense Of
\ humor suggests TO his lady
patients who want to get thin,
just worry Worry is the
greatest fat rcducer known" As
a means for promoting worry
he suggests adopting a light diet,
taking the money saved on lunch
es, sweets and rich food and in
ycstmg il in some Of the many
doubtful securities of the day,
and watching the stock market
quotations go down It's a fine
system for anybody who has the
courage to try it.
This same doctor believes that
The business depression is "A good
thing for the country. He has
seen the preceding fat years
make of clean cut America a
fat people, luxury loving, inert,
bound on their way to the
tomb through overindulgence. He
knows that hard times work the
other way. Checks grow thin
and bodies slough off their rolls
of flesh. Minds grown fatuous
and lazy are sharpened to a keen
edge once more by the milestone
of anxiety, the dropping of lux
uries and the necessity for action
to meet the emergencies.
1t is "A new light on hard
times. But it takes a doctor to
tell the truth.

FARM MORTGAGES.

In a period during which prices of farm prod
ucs have ranged higher than before in the his
tory Of the world, the mortgage debt of American
farmers has more than doubled. This burden of debt
has increased from $1,720.172,S51 in 1910 to $4-
G!2,711,213 in 1920.
Doubtless these statistics will be widely quoted
by agaors to bolster the contention that the agt!cu
turalists have been unfairly treated There how
ever many phases of the situation to be considered
A clue to one important factor explaining what has
been taking place may be found in the further sta
tstical statement that the value of the farms in
creased 117.6 per cent during the same period
Primarily place Of property may be said to be
worth what 1t will bring The prices at ,h farms
hare been sold doubtless were taken by the census
bureau as tho proper index of farm values, And
sack of this lies the estimate of the purchasers of
what they could gain in return for tage of land, an
estimate which during the 1O-year period was stimu-
lated by the remarkable initiation of farm produce
prices
Out Of such conditions unprecedented
movement of the farm real estate market. Farms
were sold again and again. assuming with each trans
action the fat profits of the sellers and in most cases
pyramded mortgages. The totaling of mortgage
burdens therefore does not afford fair basis for
deduction to the prosperity or proftableness OF
agriculture It may be safely asserted that the prac
teal farmer who has worked his land and conduct
ed his business according to approved methods has
made more money than ever before. 1t is unfortu-
nate that because of the speculative tendencies of the
period of initiation, these diigent and industrious
farmers seem in danger of suffering in the reaction
which may follow.
In saying this we are not unmindfu of the fact
that agricultural and livestock interests have unduy
suffered by their products being allowed to re7cde
faster than the general fall of prices.

A HERO STILL.

Two years ago the country rang with laudation
of the exploit of Sergeant Alvin C. York He was the
greatest individual hero of the and was loaded
with decorations congress pausing award him the
prize Of the Medal of Honor, distinction val
ued more highly than the Victoria Cross in another
land.
A Tennessee mountaineer, he had entered the
army reluctantly because of conscientious scruples.
Placed in position that almost hopeless he shot
his way to safety, at the time rescuing his COM
panions and capturing lot of prisoners. Once his
exploit became known he sprang into fame With it
all he was unaffected. He went to his Tennessee
home, married and settled down.
However, it appears that affairs have not gone
well with him. His mountain home had mortgage
on 1t and he unable to keep up the payments
The other day he evicted and he left his little
cabin with his wife and babies to seek Job as day
laborer. His fame a hero, his medals and other
decorations have not assisted hmi in the prosy vet
not unheroic task of earning a living for himself
and his little family 1t may that there is some-
thing wrong with the situation, that man who was
able to meet an emergency and triumph over it
should merit better fate
Notwithstanding his failure to meet his obliga-
tions there is something of the hero about his ac-
tons He never tried to capitalize his exploit He

Prof Einsten is back in his dear Berlin, the

intelligent Europeans!

professor little to them from the corroding
