BUT ONLY GOD CAN MAKE A TREE

/.
If one is under the impression
that sentiment is dead in the busy
little village of Vashon Just bring
up the subject of the two fine fir
trees, south of the G. w. Blekkink
home that last week met their
doom, For some years past the
power company linemen have been
wishing that these trees were some
place else, but to the majority of
those who passed up and down the
pavement they were a constant joy.
Young men and women, now
rearing families can remember the
time they played about under
these particular trees. A man who
bears the reputation of an utter
lack of sentiment remarked sadly,
Half the children that have grown
up around Vashon in the last
twenty five years have played
around under those trees. An
other one said, 81 wouldn't have
taken $1,000 for those two trees If
I had had them" All demonstrate
ing that lone mans meat is an
other mans poison"
We can see the owners view
point, since he is planning on
erecting q fine residence directly
back of the trees, and his view OF
the street would have been cut off
had the trees remained. This
home will add to the village so the
trees had to be sacrificed to pro-
gress. 1t is unfortunate that tile
location of the grand old trees

THE WORLD IN BRIEF
By Leonard Ven Bossche

A total world saving of about
$500, 00o, 00o was accomplished by the
London naval conference, President
Hoover told newspaper men at press
conference. Americas savings are APP
proximately billion dollars in the
next six years. There is tonnage re-
duction of about $4,000 for the United
States and England and proportional
reduction for Japan below the Geneva
conference basis. The British will
scrap four cruisers and five battle
ships to three battleships for America,
thus bringing about parity between
Great Britain and America. This is
substantial progress for a three power
agreement.
The American village is dying &C
cording to early returns on census re-
ports Figures from eight states in
the Ohio valley show that 81 of Isl
small towns had a reduction of five to
100 per cent since 1920. Good roads,
autos, radios, etc, have contributed to
this shift in population. The total
population increase for the whole
country is coming in the larger towns
and cities. Modern farm houses ard
rural free delivery have tended to check
rural migration to urban centers, and
the farmers are passing UP the qiilage
trading centers to go to the lareers
places. Il
