High School Graduates Biggest
Senior Glass In Its History

1roWtn ana development, the dis
tinctive traits Of man, as the chief
purposes of life; success as the aspi-
ration TO do great things; and failure
as the failure. TO try, were SO defined
by DR.. J. b. Wharey, associated pro-
fesor of English tthe University of
Texas, who delivered the commence
ment address at the excersises held
last night in the auditorium of the
high school, when the largest class
in the history of the Brownsville
High School received diplomas.
Speaking of the great interest
which the war had awakened in the
subject of communications with the
dead, DIR. Wharey saicf that it is
much more upbuilding to learn Of
the living, and the best way to com
municate with the dead is to read of
their aspirations as set forth in works
of their. Every master spirit" he
added, has set forth some message
which he desired to communicate To
future generations. Those messages
Of master spirits have lived"
Criticizing the misjudgement of
Robert Browning by many. he set
Browning forth as the master spi-
rit" whose message he desired TO
convey. and explained how to read
Browning so as 10 receive the full
benefit Of his writings.
The chief purpose Of life i
growth, said DR.. Wharey, ''for
growth Il the distinctive trait Of
man. II is that which distinguishes
him from the dumb animals. whose
powers and whose surroundings re-
main the same except where changed
by the growing man. 1t is that
growth which distinguishes man from
God. We cannot conceive any other
than a perfect God. Perfection can
not be surpassed. Consequently man,
ever changing, is the only being
with the possibility Of growth.
1T is this power of limitless
growth and development which man
possesses that gives Zest To living.
Had he no desire to develop and inn
prove, our life would be the never
changing, eventless life Of the dumb
beast" Here DIR. Wharey illustrated
his point with one of Browning's
poems in which a man after having
gone to a planet where everything il
found and no desire for anything
else comes to his mind, wants to
come back to earth where the things
which people do not have, keep them
turning the wheel Industry,
growing, and developing.
Were there royal road to any
thing, where anything could be de
sired and had for the wish, the earth
would be as monotonous and "a
eventless as if nothing were desired
That growth comes only through
struggle, and combat with diff
culties is what makes it worth while
and lasting. Anything gotten without
an effort is very rarely appreciat-
ed"
Our limitations are blessings in
disguise, said DR.. Wharey, squirting
Us on to overcome them. They are
the means by which we grow. 1t IL
our limitations and our ignorance
which makes life an interesting
struggle to overcome them. The
very knowledge that we do not
know is the thing which instills IN
US desire 10 learn, and to aspire
TO greater things"
That the man who aspires to great
things and does not achieve them Is
more successful than the man whose
aspirations do not 90 further than
trifles. but who achieves those; and
that failure il not failing to achieve

the High school team on Satur-
day, October 22nd, at 2 in the

chard eleven. The game is to
be played on our own field and
promises to be a demonstration
of real football.
The Port Orchard warriors are
coming fresh from a 81 to 0 de-
feat in the hands Of Mt. Vernon,
and hence Vashon II. S. is eX-
pecting a speedier run for their
money.
The Vashon boys are showing
up in good form during practice
periods, everybody playing their
place in good shape. The coach
has made a few important

NEW RESIDENT DENTIST
FOR VASHON- MAURY ISLE

This week DR.. A. w. Orlob
opens a newly equipped and
modernly arranged dental office
in the building formerly occu-
pied by the News-Record, just
west OF the Vashon State Bank.
DIR. Orlob will do every branch
of modern dentistry here on the
island excepting X-ray work. He
has come here to stay, he tells
us, and from the divers and sun
dry instruments, chairs, whirli-
gigs, and other instruments we
beheld upon our first call there
we imagine he has brought every
thing to the island by way of
apparatus, known to the dental
profession. The doctor is in the
prime Of life, says he came to the
island out of choice, has a pleas
ant personality, many years of
experience back of him, has spar
ed no time nor money in fitting
up his parlors in first class shape,
and announces in his advertise
mcnt which appears elsewhere
some attractive prices. He has
been practicing for sixteen years
in King county, and guarantees
his work for Is years.

RIFLE CLUB MEET .
Excellent Scores Made By
Some Of Our Island
dead Shots"

The boys of the Vashon- Maury
Rifle Club have done very well
this year in their shooting, con-
sidering their experience. Out
of an active membership of about
twenty we have qualified as
marksmen eight men, so far, and
expect by the end of the month
to have as many more.
The markSman' course con-
sists of the following Shots
shots standing, 5 shots kneeling,
5 sitting, and 5 prone, both rapid
and slow fire. In rapid fire the
targets are up 80 seconds dur
ing which 5 shots are fired, then
the target goes down 80 seconds
during which the position is
changed preparatory for the next
5 shots. Slow fire you have all
the time you want. The bulls
eye for rapid fire is about the
size of a man lying down, while
for slow fire it is eight inches
in diameter. The range is 200
yards, and a total score of $50
is necessary for qualification.

fishing betting odds on horse races,
prizefights and other contests of

prohibited under bill passed without

currence is needed before the measure

AS introduced by Representative
Ramseyer, republican, Iowa, the bill
was designed to tighten further the
postal laws to exclude fraudulent de-
vices and lottery paraphernalia from
the mails. Representative Walsh, re-
publican, Massachusetts, offered the
amendment, which was adopted by a
viva voce vote, to extend the ban to
newspapers and dope sheets" which
quote betting odds. Imprisonment of
not more than five years, or fine of

FRUIT SHOW COMES
TO OUR FRONT DOOR
Vashon-Maury Should Be In
Big Show Next Month
At Seattle

The Pacific Northwest Fruit
Exposition will be held Novem-
Der 81 to 26 at the Bell Street
Terminal in Seattle and manage
ment of this exposition are max
ing a special plea to Vashon-
Mamry island for a display Of
fruits as community, or as i'll
dividuals for big show from
these islands.
1t is a well known fact, that
wherever Vashon Maury island
have made an exhibit, that we
have always brought home some
honors as well as prizes.
In the King County Fair 1912
we were awarded first prize for
the best community exhibit of
agricultural products, and while
this exposition will be on a much
larger scale, l believe that our
fruit growers on Vashon island
should see the necessity in a
much greater degree, and get
out a real community display for
this exposition.
Twelve Thousand Dollars are Of
fered in Prizes at Exposition
The location-the Bell Street
Terminal in Seattle only a few
miles from our very door, in
which the exposition will be held
is the largest building of its kind
in the northwest available for
exposition purposes and is admir-
ably suited for such purposes.
A great deal of good may be
gained by our community to get
in and everybody take a hand
don't wait for your neighbor, but
get busy and gather together real
specimens and make a showing
in this great exposition of Nov
ember q to 26.
"Do it now"-and don't wait
for George to do it. Peter Erick-
son and A. j. Linnestead and

are well able and fitted for lead
ers. Why not get in and. put
this thing over 1000 and get OF

It's up to us whether we get
good show or not. So far we
been havin' good ones, but if
more Of us folks don't come out

and when Che operators hain't
got peanuts to chew they can't
run the pictures. So it seems to
me we better be more careful
