Everything Ready for
The Annual Banquet Of
The Commercial Club

The committee i'll charge of ar
Iangements for entertainment at
the annual banquet of the Com
mercial club. which is scheduled
to take place next Tuesday eve
ming, at the Island club, have
practically complete line-up of
those who viii partake of our
hospitality, and give in return a
neghborly message. Among those
from Seattle, whom we may hope
to see and hear are Mr.. Murphy,
president of the Chamber of Com
merrce, Commissioner Don Evans,
and Capt. Anderson, president of
the kitsap County Transportation
Co. Tacoma will be represented
by Mayor Newbegin, JOHN Dover,
president of the Chamber of Com
msrce, Mitchell Skansie, president
of the Washington Naviga-
ton Co, and Rev, c. Oscar john
son, the principal speaker of the
evening. Mr. Johnson needs no
introduction to the people of the
Island, for he has spoken here
several times, and each year his
lectures are outstanding features
Of the assembly program at Bur-
ton. As lecturer he has no peer
in this part Of the country, and
rumor has it that his ability as an
after dinner speaker even sur
passes his ability as a lecturer,
which would just about make him
second to none. We are not con
cerqed with actual figures and
percentag S, but we do know that
a big tteat is assured us by the
knowledge chat Mr.. Johnson will
speak to us at the banquet.
As already announced in an
earlier issue the Knights Tcmplar
quartette Of Tacoma will be pres.
ent. Those who have heard these
men sing state that they are the
best quartette in the northwest.
OF course the evenings program
would not be complete without
the appearance Of one of the fair
sex. Miss Olga England, sister of
our own Chas. England, will pre-
sent several songs. Miss England
needs no introduction as she has
already appeared here in concert,
and has been heard over our
radios, until she is familiar to
practically all Of us
Last, but by no means least, will
be a speciality act furnished by the
Cornish school. This is to be the
surprise of the evening, and it
would be spoiling the surprise to
divulge even the little bit the
committee will tell in regard to
this part of the program We
suspect they do not know as much
about it themselves as they would
like to make one think. Know
ing the reputation of the school
We know we are assured of some
Exceptionally fine entertainment
TIL success of this affair is as
sured from, every angle. The only
drawback will be that only two
hundred people are going to be
able to be present. Twenty Of the
tickets will be reserved for guests
leaving only $50 available TO the
J Islanders. At the rate these are
going there is going to be quite a
number of disappointed people ii
Ievetyone waits until the last to
make reservations. Tickets may
be had from H. w. F. Martin al
Portage; w. Coy Meredith at Bur.
ION or Tim Clark at VaShon. Ou
Eadvice would be to get your ticket
before this weekend if you want
ito be sure
Some time within the next few
days our banquet will be an
nouneed over KOMO, and if yor
Happen to hear the announcement

to the phone to make your reser
yation. for the world will know
| then that we are going to have al
of these wonderful Fishers Blent
biscuits we can eat That ism
Half. either, but the menu will b,
