VASHON ISLAND BOYS
ENJOY PICNIC

Island Lodge I. O. O. f. No.
PAT gave the Island boys a pie
mic on August Is. They held the
same in the shady grove at EI-
lisport. The weather was fine
for sports which were enjoyed by
all-races of all kinds, egg. po-
tato, peanut and foot. Cash
prizes were distributed to the
tleet-footed lads, and the lad who
rolled first peanut home received
a fountain pen.
Did those boys eat? I DON,
think any of 'em left their ap-
petites at home. The way they
hid the peanuts, ice cream and
sandwiches was at par with the
drubbing they gave the Odd Eel
lows in the base ball. game.
The transportation committee
hauled home happy and salts
fed bunch of boys, who express
ed their approval by good old
fashioned noise.-Spec later.
