The chicken dinner served by
the ladies of the NJ. Z. Aid society
at the Community Home last night
was big success from every
standpoint. The attendance was
large and the dinner was simply
scrumptious." There was chick
en- in such heaps that we don't be-
lieve we'll be hungry until
Thanksgiving day, and pie that
would melt in your mouth, and
rolls SO light that if you'd let go
of one you wouldn't know wether
It would strike the ceiling or the
t,loor, and the coffee was SO well
Favored with yellow cream that
I second and even third helping
was asked by several. We hope
5here'll be many of these dinners
served as tempus fugits, and we
now request a seat at the same
table we had last night whenever
another such a dinner is announc-
ed as ready.

MRS. w. D. CLARK

While Tim Clark doesn't a.
mount to much, and he is willing
to acknowledge it, his wife sprung
into prominence by sheer ability
last week in big cooking contest
carried out by a Seattle newspa,
per. Out of over 800 contestants
Mrs. Clark took third place from
the top on a pie she entered and
seventh place from the top on a
loaf of bread. Mrs. Clark is toe
modest to claim credit for this
wonderful distinction but those
who have sat at her table feel that
she deserves even a higher place
than she was given.

"KENPY" SCORES
ON BOTH NIGHTS

The Community Home Assembly
was filled on both Friday and Sat
urday nights to witness the play
kempy' as enacted b. Tie j.
land talent and directed by Don
Parker, From the time the first
curtain rose until the lights were
eXtinguishcd the vast audience
was on tip-toc with interest, en-
thuSiasm, and admiration for what
an all island east can do when pro-
perly directed by a man who
knows how. The one person who
stands in line for the most merit
is the one person who wasn't seen
during either cvcning-we refer
to Donald Parker, whose mceasing
labors in rehcrsal, backed by a
thorough knowledge as to how it
should be done, was responsible
to a very large degree for the per-
feet rendition of the play to the
delight Of all.
The orchestra music directed
by Mrs. Ganly was well received
and added greatly to the smooth
ness of the evenings entertain
mcnt especially before the curtain
rose and between acts. On Friday
evening between act one and two,
Mrs. c. J. Robinson, president of
the Community Home was called
upon and gave a most gracious
formally turning over
the "homc" to the island, for the
sole use and benefit of the island
people. Her tribute to her parents
was one Of the most touching
thoughts of the evening.
Between act two and three P.
Monroe Smock read poem he had
written for the occasion. 1t is in
the form of an acrostic" and is
elsewhere in this paper
by request. On Saturday evening
came the big drawing of the
'Camulos Club chest which brot
to the home a mighty big lift by
way of dollars, G. G. Williams
daughter and c. G. Kimmel's son
were the unbiased drawers" and
Miss Watts, music teacher, was
the lucky winner Of the chest.
The play brought in something
like $225. with some expense to be
deducted therefrom.
The writer of this article could
not if he would, and would not if
he could, pick out any one player
as stronger or weaker in the cast.
1t seemed that each player was
fitted for his or her part and each
part seemed to fit with each play
er. The writer has seen some
good players in his day and liter
ally means the statement that this
cast of Vashon players would do
credit to the Metropolitan stage
of Seattle. We saw "lkey,s Irish
Rose" last week and enjoyed
Kempy twice as well. It's more
wholesome and leaves a better
taste in the mouth. On the first
night Mrs. Covington presented
Mrs. Robinson with basket of
selected flowers, a gift of the
Beall-McCoy florists, Seattle
Pauline Weiss was also called to
the front and presented with a
beautiful basket of flowers. We
have published the complete cast
last week, and all we can say this
week is that everyone did their
part so we'll that Vashon island is
proud Of its actors.

WE MUST GET BUSY

The rains have come in sufficient
quantity to plow and level the
ground around the Community
Home. This must be done this fall
SO the ground can settle and be
packed next spring. The Com
Imittee on grounds are agreed on
a few things.
|. The ditch along the concrete
highway must be filleod in level
with the pavement. Mrs. Robinson
has secured the cooperation of the
Commissioners whereby we will
have free of charge tiling laid in
t he ditch and the ditch filled lev
ell with the pavement. She has al
so secured use Of the County truck
to haul gravel for our roads and
paths. All that is required Of us
is to pay the wages Of the driver
Of the truck and the gas used.
y. We are also agreed on having
a strip six feet wide along and up
to the edge of the highway plant.
ed into a solid mass of mixed Es-
choltias or California poppies.
These bloom with us from early
spring till cut down by frost. They
seed themselves literally and
would be about as permanent as
percnnials. Massed in this way
will make gorgeous display prac.
tically at least eight months in the
year.
'3. We are also agreed on plant
ing row of Dogwood trees along
the front about a rod back of the
escholtia border. Our native dog. |
wood is the largest and most beau
tiful of the whole dogwood order
or family. Cornus nuttllii is the
botanical name of our largeflow-
cred variety. The involucre which
surrounds the flower head looks
like great white petals that are
CONSPICUOUS even the dark night.
The bush nutlets turns a vermil |
lion scarlet when ripe and persis, |
for some time. The foliage also |
blazes with crimson in the fall.
1t oftes blooms twice in the year
| know of no more beautiful small |
tree in our wildwood. Our Com
munity Home is low and squatty |
and I'VE should accordingly plant
only rather small trees anywherc
is front of it or near the side.
a. We have a proposition. 1t is
this: Let the men and boys (anG
the ladies too for that matter)
hunt up some young dogwood trees
of size easily transplanted, an6 |
we will plant them, number them,
and keep record Of the planter
in our archives, so that future gen.
erations can say: Ny DAD or my |
GRAND DAD planted that tree
Do not be afraid of getting toe
many of these for l would like to
see copse Of them mixed witt |
other of somewhat similar growth |
such as Cascara Segrada, flower
ing thorns, etc, west of the "Golf |
Links" and probably elsewhere.
This as starter and enough for
one dose to digest. Mrs. Robinson.
and Mrs. Bibbins, l know approve
Of this so far. Let us have sugges-
tons from others. And, friends
while we are at it, let US give this
home an individuality all its owl,
and such as cannot be seen every |
where. We have hundreds osl
beautiful native shrubs and
plants. Let us build something
out of them which will be unique
and a thing of beauty and joy for
a century or longer. We have
many ladies and gentlemen among
us who have refined taste in this
matter. Shall we work together
on these lines? Will you help il!
the noble and glorious work
May I say for you: We will?

NEW MOTOR LAWS
MEAN FOR SAFETY.
LAST LEGISLATURE CHANGED
MOTOR LAWS TO MAKE
DRIVING SAFER.

The Minnesota State Legislature
has new set of traffic laws which
went into effect on June 1, and il
enforced it will result in fewer &C.
cidents in Minnesota. Add to the
new laws the common sense COM
mandment, ito give the other fellow
the benefit of every doubt" when
you meet him on the highway, and
motoring will be made safer.
The revised laws increase the
spec limit from 10 to Is miles an
hour in congested districts of cities,
from 15 to 20 miles an hour in
residential districts and from 25 to
30 miles an hour on rural highways,
if the traffic is not crowded. New
penalties are imposed on intoxicated
drivers of automobiles and trucks.
The new state law supersedes any
municipal or village ordinance now
in effect, which according to G. Roy
Hill, secretary of the Minneapolis
Automobile club, means that villages
with six, eight, or ten mile limits
are denied the right to fine any
motorist who fails to observe such
limits. The new code:
Clarifies the law in regard to ar
rest and trials before justice of
peace.
Prohibits parking on any paved
highway outside of cities.
Prohibits drivers from trying to
pass another vehicle at a turn.
Requires drivers to slow down to
10 miles an hour when passing
horse-drawn vehicle.
Provides for immediate hearing
before a magistrate or justice of
peace of persons arrested for violat-
ing the traffic laws.
Makes it gross misdemeanor for
a person to flee after an accident.
Provides for a fine of $1,000 or
year in prison for motorists who
fail to stop 10 feet behind the open
gates of street car.
Makes it a mi1dema anor to drive
a car while intoxicated and on sec
ond offense subjects the driver to a
penalty of $1,000 or one year in
prison and the forfeiture of his
license.

of S25 for the arrest of those guilty
