held last Saturday night was a fl
nancial success, ($113.20) but 81

ure. The ladies feel badly, fearing
their reputation lost, but they are
planning ways and means for
more food and better service and
hope you who had little or moth
ing to eat will come again and give
the ladies a chance to win back
their regulations as Cooks, bak-
ers and coffee makers. -

Department, massage, light and
water treatments. etc.) The grand
total of children accepted for hos
pitl care, since 1907, is now
12.SSl, more than twice the popu-
lation of Vashon-M Maury.
The report OF the treasurer OF
the Hospital, Miss Olive Kerry,
showed the friends of the crippled
child had heatd the call for aid,
for there was gratifying increase
in receipts. The disbursements at
the hospital during g October
amounted to $13,413.61. The re-
ceipts amounted to $15,567.70. The
excess of $2,15409 will be applied
to the reduction of the deficit for
the fiscal year.

Der show: Members dues, 81, 1868 ;

fees amounted to $2,679.65. This
sum comes from the parents Of
patients who are able to pay all,
or any part Of the cost of the

It is the hope of the Trustees OF
the Hospital that parents who are
able to pay in full for hospital care
in event their children are sick OF
have been injured, will bring them
to the Orthopedic, where the facil-
itics offered are the best in the
Northwest and equal to any in the
whole country. The sums paid by
the parents If patients amount tc
202 of the cost of their care. That
is. Of every 800 spent running The
hospital. the patients bring ii
500 and the remaining $50 mus
be raised by the women who worF
for the hospital in all its activi
ties.

"FATTY" ARBUCKLE

The Minneapolis city council last
week threatened to revoke the license
of Minneapolis theatre because
Fatty Arbuckle was scheduled to
appear there in vaudeville act. Mr..
Arbuckle was accused some years ago
of misbehavior in California hotel,
but he has lived an exemplary life
since that time, according to those
who know him best, and he should
not now be deprived of an opportunity
to make living. ITO err is human,
to forgive divine" Except for the
puritans who compose the Minneapo-
lis council there are few men who
have not some time or another stub

no doubt had in mind when he said

WATER AND WINES

DR.. Mayo told the chemists at their
recent national convention that good
pure water was the greatest ally OF
prohibition. In many European coun-
tries wine, beer and ale were used
because the water was not good.
When good water came, the use of
liquor dropped.
Those who wish wine and beer in
the United States can find little COM
fort in the doctors words. Light
wines and beer are not needed as a
beverage in the United States, never
were needed and never will be.
The use of stronger liquors is not
based upon the water supply, fear of
snake bites or to ward off chills.
Their existence rests on appetite.
With some this appetite is large and
dangerous, with others modest and
easily satisfied. But the fact that the
little appetites grew to big ones led
to prohibition as we now have it.

AMERICANA

he holds and Yields in the oil in
dustry in this country at the very
beginning of the disclosures that
there was crookedness afOot, the in
vestigations might not have dragged
on as they have.
If Mr.. Rockefeller had taken a
hand in the matter back in 1924, for
instance, when the government first
brought suit for the recovery of Tea
pot Dome, and Stewart, Blackmer and
O'Neil were listed as among the wit
nesses at Cheyenne, it is possible that
today some oil men who ought to be
in Jail would be looking out through
the bars, and the entire oil industry
would be in a healthier and more
creditable state.
However, it is encouraging to note
that at last some of the leaders are
coming to realize that the oil indus
try needs purging.-Duluth News

HIT AND RUN DRIVERS

This is the season of automobile &C
cidents, and with them, the chit and
run drivers"
What is to be done to curb these
''murderers" for they certainly be-
long under that heading) is hard to
figure out. 1t is a difficult problem
for police officers to handle; they do
the best they know how, but they
can't be everywhere.
So it seems it is up to the courts
to give the absolute limit the law al
lows to those who are apprehended.
The sitter the penalty, the better
the example, and the continued wrath
of the courts, heaped upon the heads
of the willfully and wantonly reckless
automobile drivers, and more espec-
tally those of the "hit and run ilk,
very probably will tend to make the
potential one little cautious; at least
make him stop after running down a
pedestrian.

AN AID TO YOU

No citizen is so powerful, none so
humble, but what his town is an aid
to him in some way or another There
is where he employs his labor or his
capital, builds his home, enjoys the
society of his kind, and in short, finds
everything that makes life worth liv-
ing. Failing to find these things, he
usually goes in search of them else
where. If he remains, it is natural
to suppose that he found that which
he sought.
Since your town boosts you, why
not do as we'll by it as it does by you?
To progress, it needs the help of every
citizen, and every citizen benefits in
dividually from every community i'm
provement, whether that improvement
takes the form of public work, popu-
lation growth, increased prosperity or
business development.
No community is so miserable and
unattractive that it has no boosters,
and none so perfect that it has not its
knockers, but that city or town
achieves most in civic betterment
which has the most boosters.-Moose
Lake Star Gazette.
