SOUTHERN HEIGHTS
Mrs. A. N. Morrill)

Miss Cowen and the scholars
enjoyed Halloween party at the
school house Wednesday after
noon. Some of the older members
of the community were present
also.
Mr.. and Mrs Stoltenberg were
week end visitors at the home in
Seattle of Mrs. Stoltenbcrg's par
| ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Christensen.
Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Morrison
and son, Stanley, had as their
guests at the Masonic dance at
Burton November 1st., Mr.. and
Mrs. Ira Case and daughter Irene,
and Mrs. Cases mother, all from
Shawnee, This was a pleasant
party, and good time was had.
A number of the school child
rem were entertained Hallowe EN-
evening at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Mcleod.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Bates of
Paradise Cove have been visiting
in Seattle for several days past,
but were home to vote.
Quite a number of our neigh
bors attended the Hallowe 'en
party given Saturday evening at
Lisabeula by Mesdames Weber
and Deckmm. A fine time was
reported.
Sixteen Camp Fire girls were
to Camp Seattle last week end.
Rather an amusing incident
came to our notice last week, and
seems to point out the fact that
a little more advertising for the
Island would not come amiss. A
man having some business to at
tend to on the ISalnd. and need |
ing his car, being a stranger in
Tacoma and vicinity, inquired
how he could bring his car to the
Island. He was toll dthat the only
way was to bring his car on the
Steamer Vashona, and this he did.
He arrived at Burton, and paid
rhe regular price for loading and
unloading car, which was sew
eral times the ferry fare. Need
less to say, he returned to Ia
coma via the south ferry.
The high tide and winds are do
ing some damage along the beach
in the vicinity of Magnolia and
south, taking out some bulkheadS
and threatening the logs. A
large maple tree in Mrs. Boxers
yard had to be cut down as it was
threatening to carry the house in
to the bay, we are told.
Horace Smith has been busy do
ing considerable work on Mr..
SWANS cottage at Indian Point.
T he Forrest Home Poultry
ranch is the best established of
any in our community. 1t has
grown by leaps and bounds dur
ing the past five years. lit now
has 1000 layers, as compared with
200 in 1921; the housing also has
kept pace with the increase. There
is a 1O00-chick brooder house;
300-hen laying house, and small
trap nest house. The hatchery
was in its infancy in 1920, but last
summer 10 incubators with a ca
pacity of 5000 eggs, were used,
and the outpu't of baby chix was
$4,000.

BY Courier Duck TO The Star
TEA KETTLE SPOUT. Santa Claus
Land, December 20.-Guided by the
arrow on the mince pie. we moved so
swiftly we could scarcely tell whether
we were running or flying until we
came to No. Tapioca street We
knew IL was No. s because we heard
bell chime six. That's the way It
Is in Santa Claus Land. The houses
don't have numbers on them. They
just chime their numbers every once
in a while and then you listen and
go there.
1t was a sort of jiEsaw house. with
lovely curleycues all over IL. In fact.
II looked something like big cuckoo
clock Santa Claus tickled the door
with a straw and 1t began to shake
and then swung wide open-that's
the way you open doors IN Santa
Claus Land.
AS we stepped inside. Santa Claus
said:
II can whistle with four fingers In
my mouth. Listen."
He put four fingers in his mouth
and whistled beautifully. AS I was
trying to do it couldn't, though
there was an answering whistle
somewhere In the house and a funny
little old man came in. He had a
long-tailed blue coat, knee breeches
and blue stockings: he was jolly and
fat, like Santa Claus, and wore a wig.

SEEKS TO DIVORCE
SON OF GEN. WOOD
Wife Says He Has Lost Most
of Money Made in Stock
Transactions.
BY the Associsted Press

WILMINGTON, Del. December 20
Mrs. Osborne Cutler Wood yesterday
announced that she had separated
from her husband, a son of Maj. Gen.
Leonard Wood, and that she would
Institute divorce proceedings. She
said she had not decided where or
when the suit would be started and
did not care to disclose the grounds
upon which It would be based.
Mrs Wood, with her two children,
one Of whom is only five weeks old.
Is staying at the home of her father,
Henry B. Thompson, retired manu-
facturer. at Greenviile. Del. Her
husband, a former lieutenant in the
U. s. Army and his fathers aide in
the Philippines, has been In Paris for
several months.
Mrs. Wood said she placed no Gre
dence In reports from Paris that her
husband, whose stock market oper-
ations while he was IN the Philip
pines caused Nationwide attention,
had recently made another large sum
Of money. She added that he had
lost much of what he had made In
former operations and that the i'm
pression that he was wealthy was
erroneous. She asserted that only
two weeks ago he had cabled her to
send him about $4,000, but that she
had refused to do so.
Mrs. Wood first met her husband
In France during the World War.
They were married in Manila in
