BADGER PAPER
BOOSTS ISLAND

A. |. Benjamin, editor Of the
Wisconsin Christian Advocate,
was here last spring and writes
as follows in a recent issue Of his
paper;
From Tacoma we took u very
delightful side trip by steamer to
Vashon, called by some one "'l'lc
Isle of Vision" lying midway be.
tween Seattle and Tacoma. The
island is twelve miles long and
about three miles wide. 1t has n
resident population Of 5000, with
an additional 1000 people during
the tourist season. Ii has no less
than thirty greenhouses, one Of
which is the largest west of the
Rocky Mountains. 1t is said also
TO be the home of more than 300
600 laying hens, the worlds re-
cord hen being owned by a Wash.
on Island poultry man. That re.
cord is said to be $50 eggs in two
years.
We were Il little too early for
the strawberry season, but here
it is natural habitat, II anywhere.
One man has patch of sixty
acres. Here is also one of the
largest dahlia farms in the north
west, producing over 800 varie-
ties. An afternoon visit to the
Beall flower houses and chicken
ranches will not soon be forgot
ten. Here we also found some
friends of our youthful days, well
known in Sheboygan county, to-
wit: the Eernisses and the Har-
melting families. The latter for
many years Home Missionary
pastor in the Reformed church III
Dakota and also in the Yakima
Valley. TO them and to all the
people of the Island there is only
one place to live and that is Vas',t
on, Their united slogan is that
"Vashon is the best island, in the
best country, of the best state, Of
the best nation on earth" How is
that for contcntment7

FIRE THREATENED

No Lives Lost and Action Of
Fire Fighters Save the
Girls Pretty Camp

The Lisabcula boys made an
other record last Tuesday, when
word came from Southern Heights
that several of the homes and
ranches along the country road
were in danger from the big for
est fire that has swept the south
end clean from Tahlequah north
for two miles and extending from
the West Passage to Quarter
master Harbor.
Fmney Shattuck received word
from Mrs. S. W. Lara, of Flower
Acres, that help was needed.
Quick work on the telephone and
Dad" Stewards stentorian call
to arms gathered the boys in a
few minutes G. Il. Carpenter of
The Carpenter Mercantile com
pany numbered his big Ford
truck, the gang piled in armed to
the teeth with shovcls, and a rec
ord run was made south, picking
up Sam Bittinger, Mr.. johnson
and dad" Russell enroutc. Miss
Margaret Carpenter accompanied
the "back- frers' to render first
aide which she certainly did most
efficiently when Mrs. Lara served
the coffee and sandwiches.
On the arrival at the fire, which
had jumped the Spring Beach
trail and was roaring rapidly to-
wards the Lara home and Pugh
Ranch, the boys in ten minutes
had a trench dug over a thousand
feet back from the road and start
ed a back-fi that did the trick.
The two fires met about midnight
and etfectually stopped the spread
of the flames. "Long John"
Brink and N. B. Billiard remain

while the others of the score or
more volunteers returned home to
await the next call to action.
Dad Stewart sounds the slogan
of the Lisabeula crowd, =" Bring

WATER QUESTION
AGAIN DISCUSSED

The following article was hand
ed us for publication. This mat
ter is of such Importance to the
north half of the island that the
fullest consideration should be
given to it.
The water question is again
uppermosit in the minds of many
Vashon island residents. 1t was
he chief topic Of discussion at a
well attended special meeting of
the members of the "Vashon
Heights Community" held at the
north end Saturday night.
G. q. Bragg is president of the
Community, which is duly in
corporated under the state laws
Attorney, Alex. Stewart is the
secretary.
The meeting unanimously voted
approval of the tentative plans
for the installation of perma-
nent water system. These plans
are for an ample supply of pure
water to be piped to every home
within the district, which is to in
cludc the top of the island from
the Heights to the end of the paw
ing and extending for onc-half
mile on each side of the road,
This excludes all of the beach res
idents, who have separate water
sources available.
A committee was appointed to
continue to develop the plans, and
when they are ready, a public
meeting will be called, so that all
persons who will be affected can
have full opportunity to study
and discuss the details before Fl,
nal action is taken.
Attention was called to the fact
that some property owners have
gained an erroneous impression OF
the cost involved in such a pro,
iect. The cost will be distributed
on an acreage basis, according tic
state law, and the preliminary es
Inmates indicate that the total cx,
penAe of installing such a com
plete water system will moi
amount to more than six dollars
per acre.

"The position Of women In the
&c Importance" Prof. A. J. Boynton
head Of the department Of economics
at the University Of Kansas told the
Federation Of Women's Gibbs at its
regular meeting In the high school
auditorium Monday afternoon.
1.-THE extent of their earnings as
housekeepers has never been stud
led. Their arnings should be classed
with those of business and profes-
siUaal women and their Importance
in conserving and distributing wise
ly the national income puts them on
a level with wage and salary earn
ing men and women"
"Women are the logical spenders
of income" he said, "and ! have no
patience with the head of households
who doles out money In nickfes and
dimes. In order to spend money to
the best advantage women must
have a knowledge of the sources OF
wealth and Of the effort and sacrifice
involved In producing every day nec-
esSltlcS. 1uc Stuuy Va 'CSohoAhASS,
which is derived from the Greek
words meaning household manage
ment, is neglected because 1t deals
with the everyday AFFAIRS Of life
which are always the last to be stud
led from a scientific point Of view"
Professor Boynton recommended
as a program for women citizens the
study of the economic life Of the
country with a view to forming In
telligent public opinion on industrial1
disputes, problems OF production, and
political questions. Women are as
responsible as men for creating en-
lightened public opinion, the most
powerful force In a government such
as the United Suites.
Taxation" Mr.. Boynton said,
"shows few signs Of decreasing be- |
cause the needs Of the community |
are increasing daily ana various
groups in the community are stroug |
enough to have'their wants satisfied.
An intelligent public opinion is need
ed also on the subject Of taxation"
Professor Boynton talked at the
regular business mems lunch at the
Abilene Club Tuesday noon and at
special chapel at the high school
Tuesday morning.
