feature OF the bill through today
at Crandall's Tivoli Theater. The
principal roles are played by Lon
Clancy. Mary Philbin and Nor.
man Kerry.
Seldom has there been filmed q
more sensationally picturesque
pnoto-drama than this unusual of

staircase will linger in the minds
of all who view It and Lon

been heralded, adds new luster to
the name OF an artist with q
strange penchant for the unique

The comedy Is a lively subject
in which Harold Lloyd's former
leading woman. Jobyna Ralston,
has the stellar part. The program
Is rounded out by abbreviated
camera subjects OF varied interest
and pipe organ music by Otto r.

m much interested in the result
4iyer since coming to Vashon Is
and [ have recognized the To-
alton of the Vashon village as
he most central on the Island and
kelly to remain the permanent
usiness headquarters. The adj
antages offered, however. by To-
,ation and transportation facilities
ire overbalanced by the serious
andicap of shortage of water,
without adequate supply of which,
community can prosper. When
,bundant quantities OF this ma
ture's Blessing is available our
illage will become a desirable
place to live where the man of
small means can afford to buy

md have a little left for garden
nd flowers. Instead of the dry
md parched look, which now
overtakes our yards in midsummer,
there would be shrubbery and
9leen lawns. While the cost may
ne considerable it is not prohibi-
i've if properly distributed and in
very short time will prove the
most valuable investment made by
the inhabitants Of the district,
When the bonds are voted and
the Water District becomes an as
ured fact my first effort viii be
directed towards securing couple
tcres inside the District with q
lew to building permanent
home. Our firm also have in mind
certain Improvements and extern
,ions that will receive serious con
Iteration when ample water sup
ply for operation and fire pro-
lection can be secured.
Light, heat and water are thu
three great essentials to home
comfort and the greatest Of these
is water.
