A STATEMENT

ment as to his relations with T.
Monroe Smock, | feel it is only
, due Mr. Smock for me to make
"A statement concerning my rela-
tons with him, both as an en-
ployee and lessee of the Vashon
Island News-Rccord.
! was employed by him for four
months. During that time his
treatment was all that could be
wished by anyone. When he took
the position of commissioner of
public welfare he proposed to me
that | lease the plant. | took
charge the first of January, 1928,
and continued to operate it until
February l, 1924. For several
months paid $500 per month
rent and then it was reduced to
$S0-the same as Mr.. Baker. By
industry and economical admin
istration ! was able to make a
comfortable living for my family
and went away from the Island
with a sufficient sum Of money to
have made it well worth my
while to have resided here.
During all my time as lessee
my relations with Mr.. Smock
were most cordial and could not
have been more satisfactory
When it came time that thought
| should return to my farm l
asked Mr.. Smock to release me
from my contract, which he glad
ly did, after having had time to
look about for a successor. AT
all times | cooperated with him
and he furnished me with no
small amount Of news matter and
/ did what ] could for his inter-
ests. In fact, | could not have
asked for more pleasant relations.
When | left, the News-Record
was full of advertising and news
matter and was paying a good
profit each month. The machin-
cry was in perfect running order
and the material was in excellent
condition. On Monday of this
week I returned at his request,
to assist in Strengthening out a
most distressing condition and get
he plant running satisfactorily
| made great sacrifice of per-
3onal interests and returned to
find the machinery almost wreck
ed, type and other material
strewn about, the cutter broken
and great amount of material
needlessly destroyed and dam,
aged. 1t took me two hours to
get the first line Of type set on
the machine. Then it was nee
essary to get other men more
killed than | in the mechanism
of the linotype to get it to work
again. The damage to the ma
chinery and business in genera
amounts to many hundreds of
7ollars more than Mr.. Baker paid
Mr.. Smock.
/ still hold two notes given by
Mr.. Baker, which are many
months past due, amounting to
$l20, which Mr.. Smock is com
PEELED to take up at once.
make this statement freely,
without favoritism to Mr.. Smocll
or malice towards Mr. Baker. Mr..
Baker simply is not newspaper
man nor a printer and found HIM
self beyond his depth at Vashon
1t is only that Mr. Smock should
be shown i'm his true light to
Vashon Island residents that this
statement is written.

Keeping Air Moist

In homes heated by hot air furnaces
with registers in the floor, it is a good
plan to keep cans of water hung in the
register. Any handy person can make
holes in a tin can in which to fasten A
wire bale, and this can be hung on n
narrow strip of wood laid across the
furnace pipe, just below the floor level.
A two-quart can will require filling
twice a week. This will not only pre-
vent the furniture from drying out.
