RECORD SHIPMENT OF
POULTRY GOES EAST
E. Morgan Ships 44O Birds
Worth $115O to
Oklahoma

Elisha Morgan, proprietor of
the Highland Park Poultry farm
on Tuesday made shipment Of
poultry that is believed to have
broken all previous records when
he shipped 440 two and three
year-old breeding hens and a num-
Der of cockercls to woman poul-
try breeder at Enid, Oklahoma
The price paid for the birds was
$1150, and the express charges, to
be paid by the consignee, were
1850. making the cost of the birds
to her an even $500.
The birds SHIPPED out were from
Mr.. Morgan's choicest breeding
pens, eggs from which he sold at
70 cents each. However, in three
more days his season would have
been over and he would have sold
the birds at the market for a mere
fraction Of their value. He re-
ceived an inquiry concerning the
birds and sent a fifty-wcrd night
letter. The next day brought the
money by wire and on Tuesday the
birds were shipped.
Mr.. Morgan attribute sthe fact
that he is able to ship Matching
eggs and stock to Australia, South
America and nearly every country
on the map to the fact that he uses
advertising space literally in the
leading poultry journals Of the
country His advertising expendi-
lures this year totaled $4,000. Last
year his entrprise was practically
unknown; this year he has been
able to dispose of practically
everything he could produce.

Big BERRY FESTIVAL
PLANNED FOR JUNE
Tentative Date Set for June
23d for the big
Event

Vashon- Maury island is going to
have strawberry festival, some
thing after the order of those held
ten or twelve years ago. The date
will be about Saturday, June %.
All this was decided at the meet
ing of the Horticultural society
on Tuesday evening of this week.
The crowd present was not very
large in numbers, but what 1t
lacked numerically was offset by
the enthusiasm shown in the pro-
posed festival.
1t was thought that one hundred
crates of berries would be neces-
sary and that a good share OF
them would be donated by various
growers over the island.
A general committee was APP
pointed by President Elmer Har-
melting. However, as there will be
some additions and changes in the
personnel of the committee, it will
not be announced until next week.
The committee will be made up of
is or Is representative residents
from the different parts of the is
land. This committee will meet
this (Friday) evening at the Of
flee of the News-Record to make
definite plans. Committees ON fin,
tation, invitation, transportation
ance, invitation, program, solici-
publicity and other important
parts of the work will be appoint
ed and set at work Immediately.
1t is expected that at least 1000
visitors from the nearby cities
will be attracted to the island on
that day. Mr.. Hinkley of the Kit
sap County Transportation Co
was present and assured the peo-
pie there h at his company
woul provide ample facilities to
handle the crowd that will surely
be present on that day.

COLUMBIA SCHOOL NEEDS

The annual election of District
No. 102 columbia SCHOOL, will
be held on May s. The assessed
valuation of property in the dis
trict last year was $190,000; this

last year was state and county
and ten mills, $500; next year it
will be $4,000. The special levy
last year was 5 mills; the special

The schools of this district will
not open in the fall nor will trans
