ceived with great approval by the
upper classes. The stunt display
ed the ability and the fine spirit
of the Freshman class. The
scene opened in court room

WE GET THIS FINE BOUQUET

1t is to be regretted that the
address Of Editor Smock OF the
formal opening of the Burton
library on Saturday last cannot
be reported verbatim, but space
forbids. 1t must suffice to say
that it was one Of that versatile
gentleman's happiest efforts and
was highly appreciated.
Abiding briefly to the praise
worthy efforts Of the ladies and
their friends toward the building
up Of this iiomrishing institution,
the speaker passed Oh to the nd
vantages that any community
must enjoy whose people lend
their best energies to an enter
prise of this kind. Standing DIS
he did, in the presence Of some
of the most earnest of these work
ers, he could and did desire to
pay them the tribute of praise
they had so nobly earned.
Referring briefly to the tasty
furnishings of these new quart
ers he took occasion to mention
the care and Judgment that had
been exercised in the selection of
the large collection of clean fic-
ton and books of reference. His
discussion Of the character of the
many authors represented show
ed his broad knowledge of
literati.
His address abounded in anec-
dote and witty allusion and all
in all was one Of the most enter
tanning ever heard on a similar
occasion. While Vashon-Mau
is being congratulate on her pub
lie spirited library workers it is
surely incumbent on some one to
congratulate her on her News
Record and that human dynamo
Smock. H. A. S.

LIKE IVORY SOAP
"SHE FLOATS"
Hull OF Beautiful 5. 5. Wash.
ona Slides Down DoCkton
Ways Wednesday

A mass of people turned out
to witness the launching OF the
hull of the new S. S. Vashona at
the Dockton Ways on Wednes-
day afternoon. The S. S. Vashon
loaded at Burton with several
hundred boys and girls and men
and women and cousins and
uncles and aunts, especially the
aunts, who went over at three
O'Clock to witness the big new
boat take to the water--and she
did like a huge swan. There was
no formal ceremony connected
with the launching, excepting
several extra toots OF the 5. 3.
Vashon whistle as the hull glided
down the ways. Captain Phillips
gave the orders Immediately at
ter she struck the water for the
crew to attach her alongside the
old boat, and she was towed to
the Dockton wharf in short or
der, and there left for the Wash
on to take her load back to Bur-
ton.
The new boat is 126 feet long
and "a feet wide, being % feet
longer than the Vashon and
about 6 feet wider. The machin-
cry in the Vashon will be used
to equip the Vashona and the
new boat will be ready for oc-
cupancy and use about June 18th.
During the interim Of installing
the machinery the Virginia iii
will ply between Tacoma and
take the Burton, Dockton run.
Much credit it due Manson Bro
theirs and Sons for their progress
siveness in giving to the Vashon-
Maury Islanders this new and
more modern service. Under the
direct supervision of John Man,
son the boat is being built and it
will be one Of the neatest little
birds afoat. The Vashon is now
in charge of Captain Phillips and
Engineer E. E. Stone, and we
presume these popular and able
men will continue with the
Vashona. Those attending the
launching from Vashon were Mr..
T. Hansen, l.. c. Beall, ST., and
the News Record man.

Lower Freights on Farm Products

Inc 10 percent reduction in car
load freight rates for farm products.
is the best news the farmer has
heard for many a day. The popula-
ton OF this country spreads out over
a vast area as the result of cheap
freightage. Great farming com
munities have developed at a long
distance from the population centers,
as the result of ability to transport
commodities for long distance for
a small expense.
When freight rates go up, it at
tacks the foundation of the prosper
ity of the agricultural states, and
makes it impossible to deliver thei.
product at a profit. The 10 per cent
reduction of these foodstuffs should
result in an accelerated sale thereof,
thus enabling the farmers to buy
more |seed and tools for another
spring and hire more labor, which
must accomplish general business re-
vival

MARKET STOCK BY AUTO
Truck Deliveries at Sioux City
Largest in World.

Sioux City, Iowa-Receipts of
live stock by motor truck, at the
Sioux City stock yards are the larg-
est in the world, according to F. L.
Eaton, president of the Stock Yards
Company, who addressed members
of the High Twelve club at the Mar
tin hotel Tuesday noon.
with s140,000,000 paying out in
cash for live stock in Sioux City dur
ing 1920, and with total employ
ment of 1000 persons, mostly men,
in the stock yards districts for the
same year, more than one-third of
the city's population is dependent di-
rectly or indirectly upon that indus
try" the speaker declared. ~
Cattle and calves" receipts during
1920 amounted to 100000 head and
hog receipts amounted to 100000
head" Mr., Eaton said. "Ninety-six
per cent of. the cattle and 98 per cent
Oh Tue Hogs were Soiu III OiouA Sloy'
The remaining percentage was billed
thru" @
In conclusion, Mr.. Eaton said that
Sioux City is the sixth largest live
stock market in the world with the
difference between it and the larger
markets steadily decreasing each
year. Iowa alone supplies one-third
of the live stock for Chicago, the
worlds greatest market, and with
5000 miles of railroads in the west
ern states nearer to Sioux City than
any other market, the situation bids
fair to make the live stock future
here without bounds, he said.

Federal Authorities to Get Rid Of
Persistent Violator at
Cedar Rapids.

Cedar Rapids, Iowa-Cenik Sysel,
veteran bootlegger and moonshine
manufacturer now residing once more
in the federal penitentiary at Leav-
enworth, Kansas, will be deported,
the government immigration officials
have decided. Prohibition Director
Brunson of Iowa has recommended
the action, which is moreover made
compulsory under the federal immi-
grafton law of 1918 which states that
any alien who commits an offense
punishable by one year or more in
prison within the first year after
his arrival in this country, or who is
sentenced twice at any time after
his arrival in this country, shall be
deported to the country from which
he came. Cenik is a native of
Czecho- Slavakia and has wife and
several children residing there at the
present time. He was arrested four
times within the first five months
after the prohibition amendment was
put into operation and finally given
one year in Leavenworth. Two
months after his release he was
caught again running still on an
island south of the Sinclair packing
plant and in the last term of fedora!
court in Cedar Rapids was sentenced
by Judge Henry T. Reed to serve
three years in Leavenworth. He viii
be allowed to serve this term before
being deported, according to the
usual custom.

WHY NOT IOWA APPLES


Good eating apples at about five
cents each is a bit stiff, but that's
the price which Iowa folks must
continue to pay for this particular
fruit if we are to be content with
the shipped in orchard fruit.
Pomologists connected with the
Iowa State college are authority for
the information that Iowa can pro-
duce apples which are even better in
flavor than the western varieties,
which sell at fancy prices because of
the high freight charges which must
be paid for them.
Delicious, the highest priced desert
apple, originated on a farm in Madi-
son county. The original tree is so
years old and still producing. The
1920 census figures revealed that the
apple bearing trees in this state had
been reduced one-half over the num-
1er reported in 1910.
Many in this state have found APP
pie orchards most profitable. With
Iowa land valued as it is today, and
corn and wheat selling at their pres
ent price, it is painfully evident that
more intensified methods must be
pursued by owners or renters. 1t
is extremely doubtful if the POSSIBLE
tiles of apple culture will be neg
lected, but the largest profits will
accure to those who take the lead.
AS long as the state fails to produce
this desirable article of food in the
quantities desired, good price for
the product is assured.
Apple orchards on many farms
have failed to show a profit because
they were neglected. The trees
must be sprayed and pruned and it
is also imperative that good COM
varieties be grown. The
Ben Davis will never command a
price as long as the Jonathan can De
secured.
can apple a day keeps the doctor
away" is a familiar health axiom.
No more healthfGl form of fruit is
obtainable, but when they command
their present price they are not
available in sufficient quantities for
those who need them most.
Iowas wealth and Iowa's health
will be enhanced when we may boast
of the Iowa apple as we do her corn.
Why not give a thought to human
consumption as well as hog feed?-

Home Brew Victim May Die

Tama, Iowa--Lester Heishman, a
young man from the Sheridan neigh
borhood, was found in an unconsci-
Gus condition in F. A. Gadbury's feed
barn Saturday afternoon and was
removed to a room at the Central
Hotel, DR.. M. l.. Allen, was called
and found the young man at 'the
point of death. In addition to the
result of the exposure, he having
laid for several hours exposed to a
freezing temperature, Heishman was
found to be suffering from for
maldehyde poisoning, the result of
drinking some particularly villianous
home brew or other similar beverage.
DIR. Allen and his assistants worked
over the young man for three hours
before they could find any signs of
a possible recovery. Hypodermic
injections of powerful restoratives
and blood-letting were resorted to
and finally the most alarming symp-
toms disappeared. When the blood
first began flowing from an opened
vein it was almost solid condition.
Heishman was taken home and it is
considered probable that he will
never entirely recover from his ex-
periences.
