+ In President Coolidge's speech
to Congress he recommended Co
operation for the Farmer. II is
true that there are quite few
farmers Co-operativcs that are a
success, but anything like cooper
alton on National scale is non
existent.
The Farmer is an extreme indi-
}idualist chained to his little patch
of earth, producing food in compe-
.ition with his fellow Farmers
without the slightest control Of the
market. Always hoping, seldom
realizing a really fair return for
lis labor and capital.
Take any productive manufac-
.ure and the value of any object
produced is guaged by the aggre-
gate cost of production. Think
Of Henry Ford shipping his Lizzies
to various points on consignment,
and having some sales statements
marked damaged, ETC., with cost
II selling and freight more than
the goods realized. But of course
t is unthinkable with Henry who
sets the price II. o. B. Detroit, take
it or leave it.
Now turnip or spud is worth
just what it costs to raise, but
who ever heard of selling turnips
and spuds that way, when the pro
duction is large enough they are
hardly worth anything and when
small the consumers cost is more
than they are worth.

that is the way the farmer wages
his economic fight today, in. fact
its worse because he really has no
friends. economically speaking"
70 is a solitary fighter in host
of enemies.
Let us indulge in a little ITO
plan speculation as to what might
be. Suppose the government,
that is all of us" decided that a
National CONSUMPTION was the only
method to win war we would
create a small standing army of
Agricultural experts, and CON
script sufficient number OF
Young men, after their education
was completed, for a short term of
years to learn the art of produc-
ing, and produce the food for the
nation after which they would be
free to choose any other line Of
work. Impossible!
Well let the emergency arise as
in the case Of some future war or
fannie, and see how quickly our
government, all of us because we
are collectively the government,
would put in action the conscrip-
ton to replenish the food Of the
nation.

REVIEW OF BURTON'S
PROGRESS DURING 1926

Die one for the town OF Burton,
many people have bought places
here for their permanent homes
extensive Improvements have been
added to other property and sew
eral new business enterprises have
been located here by those far
sighted men who recognize the ad-
vantage of a location so central to
both islands and also having the
added value of water transporta-
ton to their doors.
The latest to establish himself
in business in Burton is Mr.. w. H..
Sapp, of Vashon, who has leased
the old Hatch property on Main
and College streets and expects
soon to open an up to-date auto re-
pair shop. Mr.. Sapp, who has been
on the island for some time needs
no introduction to the island peo-
pie, as his pleasing personality and
the thoroughness of his work is
well known to most residents Of
both islands and Burton congrat-
ulates herself for being able to
count Mr.. Sapp among her bust
mess men.
Another marked recognition of
Burton S progress during the past
year, was the buying of the Coates
Hall on Main and College streets
by the Masonic Lodge of Vashon
and Maury islands for their per-
manent hcmc. This is an ideal To-
cation for such building, easy of
access, wide strets for parking
cars, only short block from the
boat landing and easily reached
from all parts of both Vashon and
Maury.
Mr.. Geiger, of Vashon Heights
has lately added himself to Bur
tons business district by starting
an attractive little shoe repair
shop on the Coates property on
Main street. He is kept hustling
as his work and prices both please
his patrons.
The opening few weeks ago of
the Island Inn, by Mrs. o. L.
Evans, of Ellisport, was another
outstanding event for Burton, and
one that gave the town big boost
for 1925, boost that will be aug
mented as the months go by.
Also the exhibit of Paramount
Pictures, every Thursday evening
at the Masonic Temple Building
has met with much favorable com
ment and has been largely attend
ed by people from all over the two
islands.
Already the work has started on
the $4,000 Burton to Shawnee
Beach Drive aud will be pushed to
completion soon This will pro-
vide beautiful marine view
road, passing thru Burton to the
Tacoma ferry dock, something that
will add greatly to the attractive,
ness of this section.
Among those who have bought
property in and near Burton dur
ing the past year are:
Mr.. Axelson, of Iowa, purchased
the Geo. Taylor home on the Beach
drive and has already made many
improvements.
DR., Eshelman, of Tacoma, has
bought the charming country place
known as Hob Mob" in the Back
Bay district.
Rev. Malcolm Mclean Goldie of
Seattle, bought the ii. F. McClin-
took place in the same district.
M. c. MattSon, of Canada, late
ly purchased the small cottage and
grounds belonging to Mrs. Heu
De Bourck in East Burton.
Mr.. Danvig, of Cove, has acqlrir.
ed the old Erwin place and is max
ing extensive repairs.
Claud Williams bought the pro
perty known as the Foster place
on the corner of College and Ma
drona streets and has fixed it up

tive little homes in Burton.
senator Lmm, Of Auburn, ha9
lately acquired the Bruce home on
College street, which with its large
grounds is an ideal home.
DR.. Young, one of the leading
professional men Of Tacoma, ba,
taken the Geo. Mauck and Thomp.
son places on Madrona street and
makes his home here the year a.
round.
Another strong believer in the
future greatness Of Burton IL Mr.
Il. h. Bucknell who has bought
Mrs. Collins charming home on
the corner Of College and Main.
Mr.. Bucknell has spared neither
work or money in making this
place one of the beauty spots OF
the town.
Mr.. c. 0. Bunker, superintcn.
dent of the Western Gypsum
Plant of Seattle bought the marine
view cottage belonging to Capt.
Brown. II is located on the inner
harbor.
II. f. MrClintock, after selling
his home to Rev. Goldie, Of Seattle
thought so much Of Burton that
he moved down town on the lots

church and has built little bunga,
low Just big enough for two."
Mr.. ID. w. Thomas, a well known
business man and member of the
Seattle Yacht Club, has purchased

ty of Mr.. Chas Swanson. Another
yacht enthusiast, Of Seattle, Mr.
Chas. j. Frisbie, has taken the pro.
perty adjoining.
Another Seattle business man
Mr.. A. R. Halan, lately bought the
charming summer home next to the
Judge Tucker home. Judge Tuck.

ments on his place on the Beach
Drive until it is getting TO be quite
a show place for those who enjoy
lovely grounds and attractive
buildings.
DR.. w. N. Brown and B. f.
Smith both of Seattle, purchased
during the past year several lots
belonging to Geo. Taylor on Beach
Drive. They have built several
cottages and improved the place
in many ways.
In reading over this list of per-
sons who during the past year have
selected Burton as their home, one
is impressed by the many changes
and the high class of citizens who
are being attracted more and more
to this section of the island. And
this is only the beginning, Wash
on and Maury islands are in the
direct path of progress between
the two great cities of Tacoma and
Seattle, as they grow we will have
to grow. We cannot be overlook

how like a snake he looks. gives my backbone the chatters. There's one thing about 1t, the tide is out and I won't have so far 10 swim"
 Danny ran along the edge of the steep bank, looking for a place to get down. So it was that he came 10 a place where a flat-bottomed boat was pulled up in the mud. It was only little jump down to reach the bow of that boat. Danny never had seen a boat before, but he didn't even stop to wonder what 1t was It was made Of wood and he was used 10 wood. This stretched out into the creek two-thirds Of the way across. IL would be only a short swim from the other end over to the other bank.
 Danny looked this way and looked that way. He didn't see anybody or anything to fear So down he jump cd. Then he jumped on the boat. Then he jumped down into it. Right away he discovered that there was interesting things in that boat. Curi- osity took possession of him. He just had to explore that boat from one end 10 the other. He found q crust of bread. "Ha" said Danny, and straightway sat down 10 feast. You see he had become very tired of things that always tasted salty. Presently he discovered rubber boot. He crept into it, What a won- derful place for a nap! At least, 1t seemed that way 10 Danny. He didn't know what the thing was, but 1t was dark and he didn't see any harm in resting up a bit in there. So Danny curled up in the rubber boot and went to sleep.
 By and by he was awakened by a humping and pumping and then a queer gurgling noise. Oh, my good ness, how scared Danny was! He didn't dare move for & long time,

f his emotions. My thoughts were rudely inter- rupted by man coming to our table and saying something in low voice to Joan. With a sinking of my heart I recognized him. He was the jackal who always carried out the ugly plans of the manager when it was necessary to do so at The Beaux Arts.
 I saw Joan looking up and about the table in a troubled way and say ing: T don't understand you and I consider what you have just said to me an insult. Surely you know who am. am Miss Meredith and my guests should be above criticism The man grew bolder. Evidently he did not realize just who Joan was. T am sure you think so," he said, but perhaps you do not know that both these young ladies with you have been hat checkers in, this es- tablishment."
 John heard this For the first time he seemed to sense that some- thlng was going on that he should have hand in. He looked at me in- quiringly. He was completely mysti- fled.
 What does this man want Sis?" Tell him the dinner and service are all right; the head waiter Is doing everything for Us possible. Dismiss him."
 The man saw that he must explain. With an uneasy glance toward the door, from where the manager had sent him. he said: T was just ask ing Miss Meredith if she really knew the guests she was entertaining he inquired impudently Copyright, 1926 NEA Service, Inc.l

 But I'm not in a hurry" she said with a touch of dignity that sat prettily upon her. Besides, she lives in the same house that I do, and I would not think of leaving her until I got her to her room"
 He bowed again, contriving to in vest the gesture with an air be- fitting a salute to a princess.
 That is most considerate,' was all that he said, but the caressing admiration of his voice proclaimed that never since the world began had maiden been more gracious.

 As she did so, something within me cried out against her touching the woman. It was as If she had put her hands upon some loath- some dangerous animal. So strong was the feeling that I almost burst out of my hiding place with an au- dible protest, and only by a mighty effort of my will did I remain silent and hidden, waiting fo- the next move of the actors in the little drama.

Jack Leslie Makes the Most of Meeting Mary

Jack Leslie Makes the Most of Meeting Mary
 found myself listening breath lessly for Jack Leslie's answer to Mrs. Bakers query concerning his presence at her side. What l eX- pected I did not know, but strong within me was an intuitive feeling that there was something beneath incident l was witnessing some- thing which 1t behooved me to know, but which was eluding me.
 No, you do not know me-" the cabaret dancer answered in the soothing tone which one would use toward bewildered child. T just happened to be passing when you fell, and Of course came over to as- sist you if I could"
 The woman was silent for a few seconds, while I had the curious telling that I was witnessing scene on a stage, a scene in which the actors knew how to make si- lence effective. Then she spoke, haltingly. but fervently.
 Tank you bot very much. l am sorry to make you so much troubles. l tink I can get up and go home now by mineself und not trouble you any more."
 "Oh! mol" Mary protested warm ly, and Jack Leslie echoed her pro- test with an earnest. Indeed you mustn't think of 1t. I shall insist upon seeing you to your door. I would advise, however, that you lie still for a minute or two longer"
 "You need not wait"
 He turned to Mary with a defer ential little bow, and a smile that illuminated his whole face. I had to acknowledge, with distinct mis- giving that the young cabaret danc- CT was an extremely personable youth, with fascination of man. ner which would be attractive to any girl.

Velvet, Alone or Combined With Silk, Is an Important Note in
 the Autumn Evening Mode.

That velvet is important in the autumn evening mode is apparent in the number of frocks and wraps de- veloped in this most luxurious and feminine of fabrics. Alone or com bined with crepe satin or chiffon, it adds a luxurious note to present fashions. leading Paris conturiers, as well as prominent American design CTS, being agreed as to the smart ness of this soft-surfaoed material.
 In the two-piece dinner gown sketched today black velvet Is most happily combined with white crepe satin. The separate top is of the latter fabric, richly embroidered in large pearls which are sewn on with orange and black silk. The border and the scarf are of black velvet.
 On the skirt the scheme is re vcrsed, Here the wide band at the bottom is of white satin, heavily embroidered in pearls.
 Added to its usefulness as a din- ner gown, this striking frock solves the problem of an important after noon costume. Or, if a more con- ventional gown is desired, wide sleeves of white chiffon. emhroider- ed in pearls, might be added.
 Triangle shaped motifs of large pearls trim the white satin bodice of this smart afternoon costume. The border of the blouse and the skirt are black velvet.

When at last he did venture to peek out he discovered one of those two legged creatures called men sitting on seat and doing something queer with sticks. one of which he held in each hand. It was the man who owned the boat, and of course he was rowing. The gurgling noise Danny had heard, and still heard, was made by the water under the boat as he was rowed along.
 Now Danny was in a fix. What to do? Should he come out of that boot, or should he stay in it? Danny couldn't make up his mind. If he came out, he would be seen just as sure as the world. If he didn't come out, something might happen to him in that boot. So Danny couldn't make up his mind what to do. And then 1t was made up for him. lie happened to look out a little to one side and there were three or four big eels on the bottom of the boat. They were not alive. They had been caught by the man who was rowing the boat. But just the sight of those Slippery Sims was too much for Danny. He lodged back into that boot and decided to stay there.
 Danny did stay there, while the man rowed and rowed and rowed. All the time Danny was getting a ride and being taken toward home faster than he had dreamed of going Copyright, 1926, by T. w. Burgess)
