"Tige"
The good people of Burton surely
love dogs, they keep so many Of them
hence it is not surprising that friends
of "Tige Meredith" mark his absence
from his accustomed place at his
masters store with regret.
The yellow hound known to gener-
alton of visitors wags welcoming tail
no more, and home folks miss his
friendly greeting.
Tige, in his early years, was the
guardian and faithful watch dog Of
all little children along Burton beach,
especially of Coy, junior. For years
he tagged the youngsters until his
youngest charge entered the grammar
school, then he resigned, like the
famous Mana" in Peter Pan, his
nursery position.
Burton Main Street next observed
him assuming the office of traffic cop
and keeper of the peace. His beat lay
between the store and the butcher
shop and he summed himself on the
intersection before the drug store,
often diverting the traffic at that
corner into its legal channel His
interfering bulk barging into a dog
fight always quelled the disturbance.
No "hit and runner" ever touched
Tige, 10 opponent ever bested him in
battle. He died because of the weight
of years, leaving worthy example to
dogs and humans of that altruistic
spirit that makes place by tho side
OF the road and becomes a friend to
man.

that this courtesy costs the COM
pany nothing, but lots of people
never think of doing these thought
full things, even though the cost
is nil. And it's safe to say that the
ministers will find it great con-
venience to use the buses and
leave their cars at home, not to
mention the satisfaction of having
their worth to the community
recognized
This week we learned a great
truth. For years we have been
writhing over the fact that the
plural of bus was appearing as
buses when our dictionary spe-
officially stated that "busses" was
plural Of buss, the old English
word for kiss. We felt SO
superior to those who have con-
sistently made that mistake, and
now we learn that usage has made
either ''bussea' or buses cor
rect. AS our dear old friend,
Grandma Stafford would say,
Doesn't it beat hen a-pecking
how one can be mistaken"
Ii you are a subscriber to the
Country Gentleman and have
failed to read Harris Dickson's
article bad Men and Worse Man
ners" you have missed much food
FOR thought. Even our teen-age
boys and girls could get some
mighty good suggestions. The
allegation is some times made that
even we of Vashon Island are not
always as courteous to the strang-
er within our gates as we might be.
We heard the other day of two
families who had been on the Is
land almost two years without
single neighbor having been in
to call. Possibly it is mid
Victorian to visit ones neighbor,
but it is human nature, old as
Adam, to appreciate little kind
ly attention.

CRYSTAL CITY, Jan. T.-Increase
in the onion tariff from ! cent to 1
1-2 cents and the consequent cancel
ling by eastern buyers of practically
all contracts with foreign onion ship
pers, will assu an excellent price

for the additional onion tariff which
we have just received" the telegram
stated "We feel that to a great
extent you r personally respon-
sible for this advance. Press ac-
counts show heavy cancellations on
foreign purchases which means more
money for home producers"
The onion acreage in this section
is approximately the same rs last

creas growers are confident IL will
prove n of the most profitable

Synthetic Sin
Is Full of Real.
Entertainment

There is certainly nothing syn
thetic about the entertainment Of
fered in Synthetic SIM" Colleen
Moore's newest comedy, which open.
ed last night at the Queen theater.
A clever story, an excellent cast
and Colleen's bubbling personality
have been woven into a picture
that ranks among the most hunor-
ously entertaining films TO be seen
in months. Synthetic Sin" il a
triple triumph for saucy Colleen as
the star, William A. Setter as the d.
rector, and Frederic and Fanny Hat
ton, authors of the play from which
the picture was taken.
The Characterization in which
Miss Moore appears is perfectly
suited to her ability and personal
ity, her role being that Of an limo
cent Southern girl who nssquer-
AIDES as n disillusioned wt-nan Of the
world in order to obtain experience
that will suit her for q career as a
dramatic actress. The story follows
the adventures Of this synthetic lit
tie sinner in New York's under
world. where she becomes involved
in both romantic and hilarious melo-
drama that carry this interesting
story to q vhirlwind finish.
Possibly the most amusing of
many laughable sequences is 7e in
which Colleen's apartment is invad-
ed by thugs and gunner in the mid
die OF n gang war. Believing her
friends have played joke on her,
Colleen refuses TO take the desper-
ate characters seriously, and treats
them with the most amusing lack
Of respect. despite their weapons
and threats.
