Due to the fact that despite the
effort some members of the Com
mercial Club have made to gather
material for summing up of the
development we have made along
certain lines in the past year, we
have not yet heard from all parts
of the Island. Consequently the
special articles that should have
appeared next week, will be post
poned to later January issue.
Walter Moberg, of Mount Yer
non, has been spending his vaca-
ton with his sister, Mrs. c. G. Kim
mel and family. Walter, who, by
the way is a local product, hav-
ing been born on the Island, is now
a senior at the Mount Vernon high
school.
Arthur Beattie, former resi-
dent of the Island, now a success
full fruit rancher of Sebastopol,
California, stopped here on his way
home from Yakima. He is visiting
the Floyd Maces of Glen Acres.
The New Year was a little late
putting in an appearance at the
William Garvin home at Ellisport,
but he was welcome, nevertheless,
even if it was 4 o'clock in the
morning. Of course he is a great
big husky hoy. William and Ber-
tha insist that they are not going
TO name him "Happy New Year.,
even if their new son did choose
New Years day upon which to ar
rive. Personally we think it was
pretty slick to choose a birthday
that the whole world just natural
ly celebrates.

beauty Of our surroundings. Win

INDIAN SUMMER

The above is not indicative oi
the weather that we have beer
enjoying lately, neither does il
refer TO a film that Mr.. Burfield
will later have to offer, but it does
refer TO the atmospheric condition
in our local theater. Those who
have i'll times past used the tenn,
perature as an alibi to pass up the
good things that Mr.. Burfield Of
fers lis weekly will have no fur
ther excuse.
That new boiler is now installed
and doing business. The heating
capacity is great enough for a
building even larger than the the
ater.
Although the regular Monday
night show will be discontinued
until summer, this does not mean
that there will not be plenty of at
fractions on that particular night.
Donald Grey and Sydney Dixon
will make their regular monthly
appearances on Mondays, their
next one being in one week, Jan.
On Jan. u, % and % Mr.. Bur
field will offer to the people of
Vashon-Maur Island, that mag
nificent film, Wings" that was
offered first in Seattle at the
Metropolitan, then later at the
Fifth Avenue theater, He is also
planning on additional Monday
night shows as the season ad-
vances.
Surely we are fortunate in hav-
ing as the manager of our up-to-
date theatcr man like Mr.. Bur-
field, who has confidence enough
in our community to give us the
best.

VASHON HARDWARE co.
NOW READY FOR BUSINESS

Saturday the c. G. Kimmel force
labored far into the night moving
the stock for the new store into the
new quarters. By Monday every
thing was ready for business, and
that ism t all, they did enough busi-
ness on Monday to convince ev-
erybody that no mistake had been
made.
Mr.. Gibbons has redecorated the
interior of the building, until it is
much too artistic foI mere place
of business. Gray and green are
the colors used in the decorative
scheme, and if the paints that are
being sold in the new store give
the results that the paint that was
used in its decoration we are 60
ing to buy a can and get busy.
Mr.. Kimmel spent New Years
day re-arranging the dry goods
and grocery stock in his other
store. We can't figure where he
kept everything, as he is now op-
Grating two stores, each of which
to all appearances are completely
stocked.
To say that we are wishing the
new venture success would be su-
perfluous, for with Garner spon-
soring it, and George Mccormick
managing it there isn't the slight
est chance for anything but sue
cess.

ISLAND COCKEREL
sIRES WORLDS RECORD

At the Stons, Conn, egg laying
contest the past year, ten pullet.
owned by George Lowry of West
Wilmington, Conn, made the phen.
omenal record of 1869 eggs lii 81
weeks, an average of 1868 egg
per bird.
In writing to Mr.. Weger OF
Highland Park Poultry ranch a
few days ago Mr.. Lowry said
1.-The credit is all yours. Ny win
ming pen was sired by the cockerel
1 chased from you three years
ago"
The contest manager reports
that these ten pullets averaged
three and three-fourths pounds
each at the beginning of the con
test and four and three-fourths at
the close, and that their eggs av-
eraged close to 20 ounces per doz.
This new honor added to those
already gained by vashon Island
birds has again brought us desir-
able prominence.
The fact that Mr.. Weger has
had all of his experience in poul-
try raising right here on the Is
land makes us doubly proud of
him.
May this new honor that has
come to him be an indication of
what island poultry men will ac-
complish during 1929.

BEDTIME STORIES By y. T FHFcHSSI

and Chatterer the Red Squirrel were
all in or around that big maple tree
in Farmer Browns front yard. They all
had something to say to Spooky the
Screech Owl and that something was
very unpleasant. Spooky didn't appear
to mind the least. Perhaps it was be-
cause he was used to it. He simply sat
there in his doorway and now and then
snapped his bill, or perhaps Missed
Every time he did this all the other
little people shouted louder than ever
There certainly was a great racket out
there in Farmer Browns front yard for
so early in the morning.
Presently, around the corner Of the
house came Black Pussy. Black Pussy
was out to find out what all this racket
was about. She knew that something
was exciting all these little people.
What it was she didn't much care, so
long as they all kept excited Black
Pussy has learned that when the atten-
ton of the little people of the Green
Forest and the Green Meadows is held
have a chance to steal up on one of
them.
At once Black Pussy saw that what
ever it was that was causing all this
fuss it was up in the maple tree. No
one was looking anywhere excepting up
in the maple tree. Chatterer the Red
Squirrel was down on the ground at
the foot of the tree. Happy Jack the
Gray Squirrel was only a little way up
in the tree. The feathered folk were
flying back and forth, in and out of
the tree. Black Pussy fixed her eyes on
Chatterer the Red Squirrel Crouching
until she almost touched the ground
she crept forward step by step.
She was almost within jumping dis
lance of Chatterer when Sammy Jay
the sharp-eyed spied her. With wild
screech Sammy darted down and actu-
ally struck her with his bill. At the
same instant Chatterer sprang to the
trunk of the tree and scampered up
out of harms way. Then all the feath-
cred folk joined Sammy Jay in scream
ing at and pecking at Black Pussy until
at last Black Pussy was glad to turn
tail and run.
So between the fuss they made over
Spooky the Screech Owl and the fuss
they made over Black Pussy the Cat,
Happy Jack Squirrel, Chatterer and
their feathered neighbors made such a
racket that finally Farmer Browns Boy
had to come to see what it was all
about.

Says Device Revives Dead.

Claims Of heart specialist Of sydney,
Australia, that he has perfected a port
able device which restores the dead to
life is attracting the attention of scien-
lists of Europe. The general opinion is
that the claimant will have to further
prove his statements by demonstra-
tons. The invention is said to have a
special needle, operated from an ordi-
nary wall plug. which is plunged into
the heart of the dead person, thereby
restoring animation. The inventor de-
clares that he brought life to a stillborn
baby, which apparently had been dead
for nearly Is minutes, and that 1t Is
