IN MEMORIAM

In sad and loving memory of our hus-
band and father, Edgar L. Lynch, who
departed this life, January IS, 1926:
Three years have passed since he was
here
But still the memory fingers near;
You are gone, the one we loved so dear.
Silent the voice we would love to hear;
Too far away for words to speak,
But not too far for us to think
Sadly missed by Wife and Children.

plant that money is hard to get
at the present time. and Its value
must be considered. Human
psychology makes us spend more
freely in q strange atmosphere
than at home. 1t Is r well known
TACT. however, that we have much
more satisfaction from buying after
mature Judgment, than buying
on snap judgment. For that rea-
son 1t Is much safer to buy here
at home where we are not rushed
by the salesgirl who, insisting that
you may take all day, If you care
to, in making your choice, still
wears the air of one of the early
Christian martyrs. Those serving
us in our local stores know better
than to adopt that attitude. for,
being Just neighbors and friends,
we would be apt to tell them what
we thought Of them much quicker
than we would STRANGE sales
person.
So let's start out by visiting the
Island stores first; then If they do
not provide what our desires de-
mand in the way of gifts for our
dear ones, and then only, will we
be justified in spending our
money elsewhere.

Advantage Of Christmas Shopping on the Island

With TIE passing of Tlianksgiv-
ing the actual preparation for
Christmas will get seriously under
way. Already the city stores are
gay with holiday decorations, with
even Santa Claus occupying his
usual place of prominence.
Not only in the city stores, but
in the local ones as well have
gifts begun to appear.
Last year, many wko had never
considered buying their Christmas
gifts on the Island found that 1t
was quite possible to do their
shopping right here in the local
stores, without the attendant dis
comfort Of city crowds.
Practically all of the stores on
the Island have added a line Of
gifts to their regular stock, at
Burton may be purchased pictures
for which the city dwellers are
clamoring, your local stores will
be pleased to order for you any,
thing within reason that they do
not carry in stock, while your
local printing shop can do ex-
cellent work In the line Of print
ing letterheads and cards that
make splendid practical gifts.
We hear on every hand the COM

PRESBYTERIANS ENTERTAINED
AT ANNIVERSARY GATHERING

There was mucn discussion of the
old days on the Island, when the
members and friends of the Vashon
Presbyterian Church gathered last
Thursday evening at the Community
Home to celebrate the twenty-fifth
anniversary of the church.
Only one member of the original
sixteen who formed the first organiz-
alton, Mrs. Sadie Gorsuch, was
present, and both contributed to the
Fenton, one of the first teachers in the
Presbyterian Sunday School, was also
present, an dboth contributed to the
"reminiscences of the evening.
Rev. and Mrs. Angus Matheson, of
Georgetown, were present, and spoke
of the kindly thoughts they had of
their days here. Letters were read
from Rev. ]. H. Berringer, and Rev.
Hugh Armstrong, both expressing re-
gret over not being able to be present
and to renew the happy friendship
formed while here.
Rev. Randall spoke of the past
history of the church, and the pos
sibilities Of the next quarter century.
After the program, to- which George
Schmidt contributed a group of solos,
accompanied by Mrs. Grace Beall, a
social hour was enjoyed.

Union . Bonds Sold to State
Of Washington

The members of the union higf,
school board are feeling jubilant over
the sale of the bonds voted by the dis
trict October 26, which was closed on
last Saturday.
The bonds, amounting to $4,000,
were purchaser by the State, and will
bear interest at the rate of 5g,. This
is considered an excellent rate for the
present time, as the past few months
have been marked by "a sharp rise in
the rate of interest on practically all
classes of bonds.
Selling to the State has many ad-
vantages over selling to private con-
Germs. The conditions of the agree
ment provides that the bonds are to
be redeemed at stated intervals over
period of twenty years. However the
state allows additional bonds to be
taken up at any interest bearing date,
IN case there is a surplus of funds on
hand. Then too, when the state is the
purchaser there is no cost to the
district for printing or legal advice.
AS soon as the official report of the
financial condition of our district is
received from the office of the attor-
ney-general, the call for bids on the
construction of the new building will
be published, and the contract let as
soon as possible. If the present plans
materialize actual work on the build
ing will begin about the first of the
year.
