MINNESOTA VISITORS
ON THE ISLAND

Last Saturday Mr.. and Mrs.
A. j. Marsh had pleasant visit
from two of their old friends and
business associates, Z. S. Nelson
and 0. l.. Melgaard of Argyle,
Minnesota Mr.. Nelson was post
master at the time the Marshes
lived in Minnesota, and Mr.. Mel
gard a prominent figure in bank
ing affairs.
Mr.. Marsh took Mr.. Melgaard
for ride over part of the Island,
visiting Vashon, Center, Burton
and Ellisport. The Beall green
houses were seen in passing, but
even so they present a great asset
to our local industries, even though
one does not see the interior.
Despite the rain, Mr.. Melgaard
was most enthusiastic over the pos
sibilities presented by our Island,
its advantages over the average
rural community, our location be-
tween two large cities, etc. He
has determined to return at no far
distant date and acquire property
here, confident that it will not be
long until that Of which we have
dreamed will be realized. This
is most flattering, as Mr.. Mel
gard is hard headed business
man, with no particular sentiment
that would make him easily in
fluenced by mere physical attrac-
ton.
It was with great reluctance
that the two visitors left the Is
land Saturday evening with an
expression of the hope that more
extended visit would be possible
in the near future.

RETURN HOME FROM SOUTH

After three months spent in see
ing about all there was to see in
California, Mr.. and Mrs. Abe
Abrahamsen returned to the Is
land last Thursday, enthusiastic
about their wonderful vacation
"trip, but glad to be back home
again.
Among the points of interest
visited were President Hoover s
bone, Stanford university, Tia.
.iuana, the Mojave desert, the
great Imperial Valley, part Of
Arizona and all way points. Abe
says that if they passed up any.
thing it was because it was not
called to their attention.
A visit to Petaluma made them
feel that Vashon Island has it all
over that far-famed place in the
matter of raising chickens. Due
to the fact that in that section so
many chickens have been raised
on such small tracts of land, the
soil has become so impregnated
with disease that in many in.
stances platforms are being built
to keep the fowls from com
ing into contact with the earth.
In the Imperial Valley, in Jan
nary, they witnessed the harvest
ing of the vegetable crop, miles Of
roadside piled high with green
stuff, waiting transportation to
the markets of the west.
The Abrahamsens had an in
teresting experience in their visit
to San Clemente, the new town
halfway between Los Angeles and
San Diego being promoted and
veloped by our one-time neigh
Dor, and ex-mayor of Seattle, Ole
Hanson.
Despite the fact that Abe found
it necessary TO follow the prevail
ling California fashion, and in.
dulgcd in a case Of flu, the trip
was an unqualified success, from
start to finish. 1t is the kind oi
trip that these folks deserve, foI
both Mr.. Abrahamsen and his
wife are among the busiest OF us
and this play time will make then
contentcd to take up the round oi
everyday duties again, with lot
lof pleasant memories to make !h,
tasks easy.

BIRTHDAY PARTY
FOR MRS. ARMSTRONG

AT the regular meeting Of the
Ladies' Auxiliary of the Presby-
terian church all thought of af-
fairs of state were forgotten, and
all present joined in the celebra-
ton of the natal day of the pres
ident, Mrs. Armstrong. The fact
that an unusual number were
present did not arouse the sus
picions of Mrs. Armstrong, and
when the fact that a real birthday
party was in progress she was sur
prised and delighted beyond ex
preston. A feature Of the after
noon was an original poem by
Glenn Kimbal.

The demand for plague vaccine in
India has shown very marked de-
cline during the past year, being little
more than third of the previous
year, indicating lower incidence of
plague throughout India. More than
half a million rats caught in Bombay
City were received during the year.
Their examination is the largest Of
the kind in the world and Bombay in
this respect is frequently quoted as a
model. The statistics suggest that both
infected rats and human plague are
undergoing progressive diminution in
the city. A serum has been found
which has a record of curing 80 per
cent of the infected animals which 1t
has been tried upon, but it has yet to
be tried upon man.
