SCHOOL PAGEANT
BEAUTIFUL EVENT
1.-The Nativity" Holds Vast
Audience Breathless and
Spell-Bound

How pleasant 1t is to turn from
the hum-drum things of life TO
write the story of the High School
service ON Tuesday evening. This
paper hesitates to attempt such a
task, although it is a delight, for
the reason that we feel unable to
tell the story as justly as it should
be told.
In the first place Superintendent
Smith and Miss Oberg and Miss
Lavender have enriched them
selves in the hearts of the entire
district as a result Of their eff
forts on Tuesday evening. Great
thoughts spring from the heart"
says a philosopher, and it was
great thought to attempt such a
service as ''The Nativity" at this
season of he year, We credit the
teachers with the thought, and
measure them now as each having
great heart.
The service was religious thru
out and radiated an atmospheric of
reverence and worship from the
:ime it started until it closed.
Each part was in perfect accord
with the whole and there wasn't
a jarring moment during the eve
ming. The lighting effects were
perhaps the most perfect blending
of shades and shadows, high lights
and low lights, ever seen on the
island The central figure was of
course "MARY" and the young
lady who took this character is as
sweet in soul and body as the
wonderful character to whom mil
lions offer a prayer each day 1t .
would be unfair to single out an
other character, as the whole was
one harmonious blending Of in
dividual part taker-each doing
his or her turn in adding that
feeling of alteration to God which
comes with added emphasis at this
season of the year,
No mistake was made in select
ing such teachers as Mr.. Smith,
and the Misses Oberg and Laven-
der, to lead our young people of
the Vashon school district Such
leaders should be kept in our edu-
cational life, and others added as
necessity arises, until each teacher
can be looked upon as a worthy
example to the child who holds the
teacher as next in importance to
the Parents whose name it bears.

WET LANDSLIDE
FOR VASHON PEOPLE
Water District Bonds Carry
By A Tremendous
Majority

Tuesday, December 22nd, the
Vashon Community gathered at
the polls and put over the Water
District Bonds with an avalanche
of votes. Out of approximately
85 registered voters in the District
70 came to express their choice in
the two propositions presented
for their consideration. The polls
opened at clock in the morning
and remained open untl s O'Clock
in the evening. All day there was
a good natured rivalry going on
between the ones vino favored the
two propositions and the ones who
opposed them. We credit each
side with working for what they
consider is for the best interests
of the community, and for once
in blue moon the News-Record
man was on the side of the ma.
jority.
The two propositions that were
voted on was No. /. which put up
to the voters the question of ac-
cepting or rejecting the plan out
lined by the Engineer and backed
by the three Commissioners. No.
2. was whether bonds to the a
mount of $4,000. should be voted
to start the work. These bonds
are to bear 6%o interest and run
Is years. The following vote
cast on the two propositions:
No. 1. To approve the Plan !;
For SO votes. Against 10 votes.
No. 2. To Issue Bonds; For 60
votes. Against 16 votes.
1t is thus seen that both propo-
sitions carried by big majority.
The first carried by about 8 votes
out Of every four and the second
carried by nearly 4 votes out of
every five. In order to carry both
propositions, it was necessary to
get majority of votes on the first
question and 609o of the votes on
the second. Work to get plans
and spread special assessment
will begin at once and it is hoped
to have the system in operation
At the hearing on Monday eve
ming at the Community Home
there was a small attendance and
Guy Eernessee and Alex Stewart
were present and explained the
plan in detail.
Now tht the vote has been taken
this paper approves most heartily
of the stand taken by Mr.. G. w.
Blekkink who opposed the propo-
sition. Mr.. Blekkink says that he
feels that as good American
citizen, he should bow to the ma
jority and the vote has been reg
istered and the people have ex-
pressed themselves as heartily in
favor of the same. This paper is
Of the opinion that inside of a
year there will not be heard one
discordant note in the whole dis
trict.

COVE COMMENTS
(G. A. Rcnouf) :
= - ssss :
A Happy New Year Folks.

What is happiness?
Happiness is a shy bird, the
more you chase it the harder it is
to catch. The best way is to ap-
proach it gently and drop little
of the salt of human kindness on
it's tail.
What is life?
Life is a flash that often, "in
these days" ends in a crash. In
any case it seems to be ridiculous
ly short, just when you begin to
think you know something your
name is Walker. One way to
make it shorter is by the bootleg
Johnny Walker route. Another
and less spectacular way is to eat
more than necessary.
The human body is only a ma
chine and should be run with and
by intelligence to conserve the
working parts so that they may
last as long as possible.
We know what happens to an
automobile when the fabrication
is inefficient and the engine is run
at top speed, too much gas, the ex-
haust chokes carburetor goes on
the bum, bearings wear out and
the speedy end is the junk pile
"Allee same" human machine.
What would happen if human
life were prolonged say even zoe
years, who can sayY Overpopula,
ton might lead to extermlnatlne
wars, laws might be made and en-
forced to eliminate the least fit
Excessive wealth might be abol
ished, and all the lazy guys and
human parasites be forced tc
work or lose their place in tho
Sun. Who can tell?
General Mitchell is undoubted
ly the victim of spiteful persecu
tion for exercising his prcogativ'
of free speech guaranteed by th'
Constitution. 1t is lese Majest'
these days to criticise the powers
that be.
Out of 70 birds ! had blood test
ed or w. d. there was only on,
positive and none doubtful. Is i
good luck, or good management
Any-which-way it looks good tt
me.
The shortest day is past, goot
riddance, and now genial old So
will commence his climb back t,
zenith.

ARGUMENTS FOR
ABATEMENT ARE
HEARD BY REED
Court Takes Under Consid-
Grafton Motion to Abate
Conspiracy Bills.

At the end of two hours argu-
ment this morning in the u. S. Dis
trict Court. Judge T. M. Reed took
under advisement the pleas in abate
ment entered to the conspiracy In
dictments against Charles Hoxie, Will.
liam Douglas, Neil Gallagher and
Ole Frederickson. He announced
he would review the pleadings and
the authorities cited by both the
defendants counsel and the L. S.
Attorneys office and if he thought
it necessary to have evidence on
any point raised he would hear it
later.
The plea for abating the indict-
ments against HoXie and Douglas
was based on the allegation that j.
H. Hart, an assistant U. S. Attorney,
was present during the grand jury
proceedings leading to the indict-
ment in the capacity of steno-
grapher for the purpose Of making
notes of the testimony, and did
make them, for the U. S. Attorneys s
office, and did not in any manner
advise or assist the grand jury The
same plea was made in the Gallag-
