POLL TAX COMING IN.

Up to August IA state treasurer
G. L.. Babcock has received $32,-
7O4 in poll tax collections during
the year 1923. Prior to this year
the total collections were $3,079,-
5O6. The law was repealed at the
general election in November,
1922, but the repeal of the law
did not wipe out the debt that peo-
pie who had not paid the tax
owed to the state. During 1922 the
collections fell off alarmingly due
to the rmpopularity of the law and
the feeling that it would be repeal
ed. Why delinquents have decided
in 1928 to square up their back ac-
counts with the state is not ex-
planned. The money has been re-
mitted by county treasurers with
out comment.

ket Building.

Work of clearing the site so
long occupied by the Pioneer
meat market will be started Mon
day to make room for modern
tire-proof store building to be
erected this fall by A. II. Peter
sen and C. G. Kimmel. The meat
market building will be moved to
the rear of the lot, which is 60 by
100 feet in dimensions. The old
garage building has been purchas-

MANY CHILDREN IN SCHOOL

More than 100000 children and
10000 teachers, over a quarter of
the states population, will return
to school in about 1850 districts
of this state next week. Another
years work will be commenced on
the day following Labor day.
Last year there were 301, 200
children in the grade and high
schools of the state and 10.5S0
teachers offered them instruction
The growth in school enrolment
is certain to make a big increase
this year that will call for the en-
ployment Of extra teachers, but it
is too early for close forecasts. AT
the close of the last school year
more than 5000 children finished
their high school work.
School statistics show last year
1912 districts held nine months or
more of school; 404 less than nine
months, and 81 districts had none
at all. 1t is quite probable, how
ever, that some of these 81 dis.
tricts sent children to other
schools. And it is habit school
districts have in this state of los.
ing school population one year
and picking it up again the fol.
lowing year as, for instance, a
logging camp may close down OF
start up. Of the districts with
less than nine months of school
four had but one and three two
months. These may have been
merely qualifying as school dis.
tricts, sending pupils elsewhere
during the rest of the year. How.
ever, five districts had but three
months of school; 49 had six; 7G
had seven and 231 eight months.

DRIVERS QUALIFY RAPIDLY

Motor vehicle drivers are quail
flying by procuring their 1923-25
licenses much more rapidly than
the experience of two years ago
led the director of licenses to eX-
pect. More than 100000 drivers
now have their new cards. While
it is estimated that more than
twice this number Of persons are
driving motor vehicles in this
state this rush during July and
August it is interpreted to mean
that drivers as a rule intend to
qualify promptly. The depart
ment of efficiency soon will begin
insisting upon seeing the new
drivers cards and this will be an
inducement to the delinquents to
get their new permits. Co-opera-
tion between motor vehicle driv-
ers and the department of eiiici-
ency to enforce rules of the road
and spread the gospel Of careful
driving is spreading rapidly and
its effect will be shown in the de-
creased number Of highway acci-
dents.

We're on the island a few days
ago looking over the Burton pen
msula which has been advanced
as a suitable site for the Masonic
home. Both gentlemen, after
having been shown over the tract,
expressed themselves as having
been well pleased with its posi-
bilities. Members Of the home

island at a near future day to
investigate the site. Every effort
will be made by local members of
the order to secure favorable con-

MEAT MARKET TO CLOSE.

The Pioneer Meat market.
which has been conducted by
members Of the Petersen family
for many years, will be closed to-
morrow night and will go out of
existence. On Monday workmen
will begin to move the ebuilding
to the back of the lot. Ewald
Petersen, proprietor of the shop,
has made no announcement of his
future plans, Several people are
looking over the situation with a
view of opening a market. One
man has an idea Of putting in
market and having in connection
a five-ton a day lee machine and
cold storage facilities.

Due to the sale Of the garage
building alongside the Petersen

portation company is without ac-
commodations for the big bus and

planning to build structure at
the rear of the Cash and Carry
grocery building that will be of
sufficient size to house the bus
and three or four cars and also
provide room in which to do re-
pair work.

DEMANDFOR VASHON
MADE APPLIANCES
Sanford-Springfisher Concern
Turns Out Equipment
for Campers.

When A. N. Sanford commenced
the manufacture of fishing reels
at Vashon two or three years ago
he was the subject Of considerable
derision and was pronounced a
nut" ON every hand. Out of that
small beginning he is gradually
forging ahead, and in addition to
manufacturing reels, he has start
ed the manufacture of a number
of camping supplies which bid
fair to equal if not quite eclipse
the reel business.
Mr.. Sanford's first venture was
that of manufacturing steel
tent stake, at the suggestion of a
Seattle wholesale house. He ex-
perimented and succeeded in max
ing stake that had qualities that
no other possessed and is able to
turn them out in competition with
all other manufacturers. He has
made several thousand for Seat.
tie wholesalers and recently re.
ceived a nice order from a Spo-
kane jobber.
Mr.. Sanford's latest venture is
the manufacture of a folding
camp stool. This is splendid
piece of camp equipment, light in
weight, but sufficiently strong to
sustain the weight Of the heaviest
person. So well is this stool re.
ceived by the trade that he will
undoubtedly be called upon tc
produce a large number during
the winter months.
In the case of the Sanford,
Springfsher reel Mr.. Sanford has
every jobber at Seattle handling
his product as well as jobbers al
other cities in the Northwest
By the time another fishing seas
on opens the demand will be con
siderable and will undoubtedly
call for an increased capacity Of
the factory.

WATER COMPANY QUITS.

A news item in a Seattle news,
paper, bearing an Olympia date
line says:
"The Dockton Water company
has been placed on the map of the
state department of public works
through complaint of two Gus
toners, La France and Keen, OBJ
jecting to new increased rates
proposed by the company to take
care Of necessary repairs to the
system, and it may be as big a
surprise to the company as it was
to the department to find that
there is such thing as a public
service concern at Dockton, for
the water system, with its thirty
or so cusomers, had never taken
itself seriously enough as a n
lie utility to file a traiff of rates
with the state department..
When the customers objected
to raise the owner evidently
quit the service, for the complaint
says they had been without water
for several days.
Engineer F. II. Craddock of
the department visited Dockton to
investigate conditions and broke
the news that since the concern
has been functioning as a public
utility it cannot quit whenever it
takes a notiOn.N

Parasols Prominent
in Summer Fashions

Parasols will have prominent place
in the sun of this summers fashions,
notes a fashion correspondent in the
New York Tribune. One wonders
why they are not always important
for summer, for they certainly add
greatly to ones comfort. But, like
every other article of fashionable
dress, they experience periods Of neg
lect. Last summer they were revived
as a fashion note after several years
of inertia.
Strikingly new ideas appear in this
summers parasols. These lie in the
shapes as well as the materials with
which they are covered. Gayly pat
termed silks such as those used in
dresss are treated so that they shed
the rain and are used for umbrellas
as well as parasols.
It seems as if every possible use
had been made of the Deauville hand
kerchief, but now we see it in para
soils. One wonders if there will be a
handkerchief left in the world if man
ufacturers keep on exploiting this ar
ttcle.
There are beautiful silk parasols in
pastel colors exquisitely beaded
These are featured by the greatest
dressmakers of America and made to
match each frock, carrying out an
idea which gained considerable head
way at Newport last summer.

clean and free from dust. Each room
should be so planned and arranged
that the least possible moving Of
heavy objects is necessary on the days
when the vacuum is put to work AS
the first principle of beauty is sim
plicity, so the first principle of good
housekeeping may be said to be elm
nation of the unnecessary, which re-
duces to simplicity
Oyerstuffed furniture undoubtedly
has its place. But that place is not in
an ordinary cottage or small bunga-
low. If it is selected, see that the
cushions are removable Sofa cush-
ions and chair seats and cushions
should be renovated from time to time.
If you have any doubt Of this. try
even in well-kept house, beating the
cushions and see whether or not the
dust flies. If it does, consider the
renovator.
Just as the elimination of all but
the essential in furniture is to be adj
vised, so should there be few pictures.
These we'll chosen and well hung in
the right light add to the beauty Of
the room. But many cluttered to-
gether make for restlessness The
beauty of no one picture can be APP
preciated in such a gathering. Besides.
they add materially to the task Of
busting, as the backs need attention
as well as the frames and glass.

ing.
a clotheshorse on which to spread the
freshly ironed garments to dry and air
virtually undoes half the work that
has been done. for slightly moist gar
ments piled together crush and crease
quite badly.
In the picture the board is placed
at the best height for the work, both
sitting and standing. 1t has an ex-
tendable leg to rest on, and is hinged
permanently in place so that when not
in use it can be folded back into
small fiat closet out of the way. The
sprinkled clothes, ready to iron, are
rolled up and covered in the hamper,
and there is a clotheshorse which the
ironer can reach by merely turning
around. The board is set as near as
possible to the stove where the irons
are heating, and light from the win
dow falls across the work
Several other points might be men
toned in connection with making iron
ing less of a drudgery, points out the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture. Clean, smooth irons should be
used. Rubbing them occasionally with
wax or paraffin will keep them in good
condition Rusty or dirty irons should
be secured with sand, soap or bath
brick, washed, wiped dry, heated,
waxed and rubbed smooth.
Fabrics should be ironed if possible
with the lengthwise thread, as large
space as possible being ironed at one
time. Most materials look best If
ironed thoroughly dry. Parts that dry
quickly and that will hang off the
board when finished should be ironed
first. Cuffs and sleeves, collars and
Grapes or ruffies on skirts are best
ironed before the main part of the
garment For silks, woolens and col
ored materials, medium-hot irons
should be used All these materials
should be ironed on the wrong side,
except aprons and children's dresses
that need a smooth surface to keep
clean longer. Silks and woolens may
be ironed on the right side if covered
with dampened cheesecloth.

Beads Tied at Neck
With Ribbon Bows

Many and varied are the novelties in
jewelry this season. Long strings Of
pastel-shaded beads are popular and
are tied at the neck with small ribbon
bows. Short strings are newer and are
gaining popularity They are tied
tightly about the neck with narrow rib
bon into tiny bow, with long stream
ers. Beads are chosen with regard to
color rather than design or quality and
should match the ribbon sash or rib
bon embroidery on the frock with
which they are worn.
