Wells DRYING Up

With nearly all the wells in and
around Vashon either dry or dry

not having the bond election set

the 25th of November. But will

gurgling on its way to the Sound

running into the Sound each hour
to supply every home on Vashon

poses. Then ask il a few dollars

Should Public Money
Be Secretly Spent?


The Seattle papers have been
filled the past week with stories
concerning the Brown-Paul-Col-
vim controversy over the $4,000
secret fund asked for by Mr.. Col
vim and denied by Commissioners
Brown and Paul. The News-Re-
cord has been asked to outline the
duties of the Prosecuting Attorney
and Sheriff with respect to enforc-
ing the dry law in King County.
This paper waves entirely its bias
this week against the present per-
sonnet Of the Prosecuting Attor-
ney's office and will briefly pre-
sent the issue with malice toward
none and charity for all" While
we feel the Prosecuting Attorney s
office has never failed during the
past four years to whack the in
terests of Vashon island at every
chance given, we shall forget all
that and present fairly the issues
concerning the $4,000 secret fund
denied that office by our county
board last week. Frank Paul has
stood for three years opposed tc
public money being spent for so
called secret work. Mr.. Gaines
and Mr.. Dobson favored the Pro.
scouting Attorneys request. This
month Paul stood as he has for the
past three years but VIM. Brown
stood with him and Mr.. Gaines
didn't vote.

LAMP CHIMNEYs, CURL
ING IRONS AND BATHS

Electricity, since the building
of Edison's first central station,
has reconstructed mankind 5
whole existence. The United Stat
es has the best electric service in
the world, and makes the widest
use of it. 1t is being constantly
improved and as electric and gas
appliances are more widely used
n the home, our standards of liv.
ing advance, household work be-
comes easier and the American
wife and mother has more time
to devote to study and her child
rem.
When we hear a lot about the
wonders of the past, at a period
when the family washing required
two days of hard labor, when the
old wood stove or coal furnace
kept someone busy shoveling in
fuel and carrying out ashes, when
the lamps had to be filled and
cleaned every day, toast made ov-
er hot Goals which schorched ones
face, hot water for bath heated
in a teakettle or wash boiler and
the curling iron covered with SCOT
in coal oil lamp, it is time to be
thankful for the conveniences
which electricity and gas have
put into the modern home.

LETTER. FROM LESLIE PRES
CDTT TO THE LITTLE MAR
OIIISE-CONTINITEn

CIT TO THE LITTLE MAR
QUISE-CONTINUED.
II moved somewhat restless. I had
not expected that Melville Sartoris
would be so confidential. I do not
know what I expected, Little Mar
l/quise, but I only knew what he was
saying and the way he was saying
it was g. great surprise to me.
You needn't be afraid Of me, Les
lie. I'm not going to say anything
to you that will make you uncom'
Portable" (He did not seem at all
faware that he had used my first
\ name twice. 1t was done so natural
ly and so impersonally that l could
hardly remind him of it. If I did,
1t would almost seem as though
had attributed to it something more
than he had intended.)
We both were silent for a moment,
watching the moon that was just
coming up over the tops Of the tall
buildings across from US.
What a night" he said, ITO be
sailing across an untroubled sea, far
from all worry and care.
I must talk fast, however. I have
Fonly one half hour tonight out of
your life and mine, and I want to
make you understand something
long as time shall last for us. I
expect, Leslie, I am rather selfish in
making you listen to my story.
1.-THE fairies cursed me at my
birth" I must have turned sur
prised eyes up to his for he had
great good looks, culture, an ap-
probation of the beautiful, and I
knew he had always had one of the
greatest fortunes in America. Sure
ly, these were not curses.
YES" he said as though I had
made some remark, II know of what
yo. are thinking, Leslie. 1t is what
everyone thinks when he sees me
circling the globe in the finest yacht
a1oat. Nearly every person I meet
thinks enviously-what he could do
with all the money in the world to
spend and no one to make him un-
happy! No one seems to realize that
money does not make one happy.
Indeed, I tell you I was cursed
with all that money. If I had been
poor I would have had to work, and
perhaps by that would have been
saved from this doubt of my fellow
rlf n and my utter boredom with life.
Maybe you have been told
thing Of my history. I always have
a feeling when I see two people talk
ing together when I am by, they are
retailing the tragedies that have
clouded my life.
MY mother a away with my
fathers best friend when 1 was 4
years old. Only the fact that she
left me behind made my father be-
lieve that I belonged to him instead
Of his wife's lover. I felt sure until
after he died hat my father never
cared a jot for me. I always re-
minded him of my mother, whom
everyone said I resembled.
From a sense Of duty he gave me
everything I wanted. When other
boys were playing hobby horse with
a stick between their legs, I had the
costliest motor that money could
buy. When other young men were
fussina about the rivers in canoe
during .,eir college vacation, I was
lolling on the deck Of the finest little
yacht in American waters.

money could buy-and that was ALL"
