Something to

HAPPINESS
By r. II. WALKER

IF YOU would get your full share ID
- happiness out Of life. you must II
all times contribute happiness to
others.
When a little cloud Of doubt comes
between you and your dearest friend,
or an angry word pops OF unexpected
ly In a heated argument, hasten with
out delay to obliterate it. II you have
been at fault lose not q moment In
making an apology.
Do not brood over imagined offenssA,
for II Is often that brOodIng adds fuel
to flame which, If let alone, would
die out Of its own accord.
Many lives have been utterly wrecked
and thousands of hopes blasted By
bestowing too much thought on petty
trifies and idle words whose meanings
had been so warped and twisted that
they became monstrOus offenders, when
In reality they were mere feather
weight nothings.
There Ii an innate proneness IN ali
Of US to sail under false colors and 20
misjudge our most intimate friends,
so we turn our backs upon the bright

own ugly souls. while we bestow hate

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
aTURNcoAT"

HISTORY, which has played
IA a leading role in the forma-
ton OF many words which are
familiar to us today Is directly
responsible for the epithet
''tulncoat" as applied to q
traitor or anyone who deserts
one cause In order 20 Join the
opposing party.
This word owes itH origin to
Emmanuel, one Of the first
dukes Of Savoy, whose domin-
ions lay between the cwo con-
testing houses Of Spain and
France, and who was, accord
ingly. forced TO temporize and
fall In with whichever power ap-
peared to be in the agcendancy.
Being so frequently obliged to
change his allegiance, the duke
had a coat made which was blue
on one side and white on the
other, and might be worn either
side out. Where In the interests
Of diplomacy he thought II best
to represent the Spaniards, the
duke would wear the blue side
outermost, while when he was
working with the French, his
coat would appear to be white.
1t was for this reason that he
gained the surname Of The
Turncoat," to distinguish him
from the other dukes of the
house Of Savoy, also named En-
manuel, and The term has come
down, unchanged, to the present
day.

Scottish Estates Being Sold.

Enormous estates In Scotland are
going under the hammer, due in many

mountains, and comfortable houses
are offered for sale at the present
time. including a large part OF the

Aid. Frank J. Link of the Forty

RESPECTED CITIZEN
INSTANTLY KILLED
Gilbert Olson's Skull Fract-
ured and Death lmmed.
lately Ensues.

Hans Gilbert Olson, one OF
Vashon islands most respected
citizens was accidentally killed
last Saturday afternoon at his
home about two miles north OF
Vashon. Mr.. and Mrs. Olson were
in the pump house where they
had a gas engine installed to fur.
nish power for running certain
household machinery. Mr.. Olson
had started the engine and short
ly after the belt came off, ii
caught in the magnetic, and was
going at such tremendous force
that it snapped off the magnetic,
which struck Mr.. Olson on the
temple of the head and death fol.
lowed in less than five minutes.
Mr.. Olson was born in New
hope, Wisconsin, September 10Th,
1864, and was brought up in the
Lutheran faith. On March 9th,
1897, he was united in marriage
to Miss Josephine Seversen and
for the &c years that unsued there
was perfect marital happiness
which expressed itself in the
birth of seven children, four OF
them sons and three being daugh-
tiers. The names of the sons are
John, Chester, Henry and Ernest.
OF the daughters, Gladys, Helen,
and Alice. The widow and all
the children survive. Chester and
Ernest are in Alaska.
Mr.. Olson came to Vashon is
land 16 years ago and during
that time was one of the quiet.
peaceable, respected citizens OF
the island. He was industrious
lover of the home, Obligmg as
neighbor, devoted to his family
and died as he had lived with an
mistaken faith in his Creator and
Redeemer. The funeral service
were conducted by the Rev. Eyer
from the lutheran church at
Vashon on Monday forenoon and
were very largely attended. The
pallbearcrs were Karl Steen, M.

VASH0N HENS LEAD
In PUYALLUP CONTEST
Frank E. Gilbert's pen Skoot by all Oppon-
ents and Register ten Eggs Ahead
on August list

Out Of ninety odd contestants
from every section Of the U. S.
and some from Canada, Frank y.
GiIbcrt's pen has steadily climbed
the records one by one and at
the close of the ninth month was
ten eggs ahead of its nearest COM
petltor. Second place was held
by pen belonging to Mr.. Park
in Of Banks, Oregon. Mr.. Gil
bert had 1918 eggs TO his credit
and Mr.. Parkin had ten less.
1t will be remembered that the
pen Of l., c. Bceali, Jr., also of
Nashon island led the list for
few months when he lost one of
his best layers by death and that
put him back in the contest.
However, with such a handicap,
Mr.. Beall's pen has steadily gain
ed and is now around fourth
place.
Surely comment is unnecessary
TO convince our foreign readers
that with two pens leading from
this island, out of more than nine
ty entries from all points of the
compass, there must be a reason,
and this reason lies in the fact
that we have the climate. the
stock, and withal a character of
breeders back of the flock that
cannot be eclipsed in the big
