A xMs QUERY

I'm living in a merry dreamt
Some fairy wand has come to bless
The town-for kindly spirits TEEN
Where mortals once walked spiritless
The cook, the cop, the janitress--
They amt just what they used to be!
Can anybody here please guess
Why are they all so good to me?
My little fiat is fed with steam;
The sizzling pipes know no recess
While from the faucet "HOT" a stream
Of water flows in steadiness
And mail! Observation-Disclosures poor ad-
dress
Comes at the first delivered!
Oh, print it in italic stress
Why are they all so good to nc?
Friend wifey serves my tea with cream
And greets me with fond caress.
Just now she always finds some scheme
To make me glow and effervesce.
And at the Office, 10! press

Zone Of the troubles OF nowadays"
said Vice-President Coolidge, "is that
so many people have been paying too
much attention to politics" Another
possible trouble, to our expert notion,
is that so few people have been paying
attention to politics. Outside of edi-

whether there are many who give poll
tics attention for an hour "a month.

From every nook and corner
of our community, which is the
whole of the island, comes the
encouraging word that past bick-
erings and shulllings are being
forgotten and the people of the
entire island are going to back
the island Chautauqua this sum
mer. With the south end Of the
island leading with the president,
Rev. Fretz, and the secretary.
Mrs. Hunt, and the center and
north end with vice-president and
treasurer, and everybody in be-
tween giving three cheers, it
looks as though we had outgroWn
the swaddling clothes of infancy,
and had reached the age Of virilc
manhood, with the whole world
"as our oyster" And it should
be, in fact as well as name, for
the united pushing of every com
munity interest by all the people,
would soon give us an island
empire" of which the whole
state would look with envious
eyes.
After the Chautauqua is over,
Immediately upon its heels, comes
the state postmaSters convention
at Burton-and if we can help,
aid, or assistant we can, we
hereby offer our all, to be used
in any manner Mrs. Hunt may
elect. Let's put both over with
credit and honor. Then let's go
after some of the bigger things
such as a community excursion
each summer in strawberry time,
and get out some community lit
erature on the Vashon-Maury
advantages, and boosky some new
island enterprises-such as a
good dentist, a modern island
bakery, an up to date refrigera-
ton plant, with an ice cream
factory, a steam laundry, and a
hundred and one other things.
If you approve of this call-say
so. If you don't approve of this
call, say so. Let's waken up,

FACTS REGARDING
NATURALIZATION

Rev. b. o. Clausan Of the Y.
M. G. A. Of Seattle states to this
paper that all declaration papers
after seven years old are invalid.
Aliens holding such invalid pap
crS should take out new dccla-
ration papers and wait two years
more in order to become citizens
Of this country.
Aliens arriving in this country
before June 2Sth., 1906 need no
certificates of arrival while all
who came to this country after
that time must apply at WASH
ington, d. c. for certificates Of
arrival. This does not include
cX-seryice men as they can apply
under a special rule. The Ger.
tihcatc must be back to the local
court before the declaration pap
err expires.
Rev. Clausan suggests that all
dcclarants should study the con
Stitution of the United States be-
fore they petition for citizen pap.
crS, it would also benefit them
to read books and literature
written on naturalization.

the lark, and the manner in
which they worked at shoveling
off shingles, tearing up the floor,

wonder if such "bees" will not

stands worthily beside the rustic
home, and rural church, of a
generation ago. Vive la Center

The old adage which declares
"where there's will, there's a
way" was never more forcibly
emphasized than last Saturday
at the Center School Grounds.
Due to the fact that the health
officer condemned the building
as unfit for school purposes, the
school district was more or less
divided as to what should be
done in the premises. Some sug-
gested a consolidation of the dis
trict with the districts at Burton
and Vashon; others advocated re-
pairing the old building, and
still others stuck by an out-and-
out new building policy. Sew
eral votes have been taken from
time to time during the past year
or more, and at last the atmos-
phere has cleared and the policy
of the district has been fixed.
At the last election Of directors
j. NJ. Silvey and j. w. Dunlap
were chosen by large majority
of the voters Of the district on
the platform Of continuing the
present school district and as a
result the old building has been
torn down and a new two room
building, with both rooms on the
first floor will be built at once.
The new building will occupy
the site of the old one. 1t will
be 26 X 80 and will be modern
throughout. With the use of
what material is available from
the old building, it is hoped to
complete the new building at a
cost of around $500. There will
be chemical outside toilets, mod
el'n, electric lighting equipment,
abundant windows, adequate ven
tilation, and withal everything
necessary for an up-to-date com
munity school.
At a special election held to
determine the levy of an addi-
tional 5 mills to provide funds
for new building, the vote was
1903 in favor and 81 against.
An old fashioned "bee" was
held there last Saturday. The
men were ON deck at the call of
