COUNTRY CITIZENS ARE NOT
REQUIRED TO RE-REGIsTER

Many of our citizens who take the
Seattle iailies and read about the
campaign to get people to register
after the first of January, have become
confused. Citizens in Incorporated
cities and towns are required to regis
ter every two years.
But outside of incorporated cities,
and in unincorporated towns citizens
are only required to register every
four years, so that those on VaShon
Island who registered after January
LIST, 1928, and who have not changed
their residence from one precinct to
another will not be required to register
again until after January LIST, 1882,
providing, of course, q change OF
residence has not been made in the
meantime. All citizens not now
registered will have to register to vote
at the March election, but not at the
school election.

In last Saturdays Seattle Post-In-
telligencer, Miss Mayreld Ramquist,

The Pr write-up goes on TO say:
wigs of any color, straight or curly,
coarse or fine, Of real hair are made
in the city's doll hospital on very short
notice. New heads fill the shelves, new
arms and new legs as well. Many a
doll baby has serious trouble with her
joints, and is sent out restrung and as
good as new. But the real work of the
doll hospital, accarding to Miss Ram
quist Is the painting of new faces.
when badly cracked, the head is
mended with china cement. Then the
old paint Is scraped off, the surface
rubbed smooth, and flesh colored lac
quer sprayed on. Delicately arched
brows and rosy lips are painted on
with brush, of course.
Miss Ramquist said she had been
so busy before Christmas putting new
life in old dolls for the holiday, that
she had to have extra space and help.
Now she is busy every day, repairing
accidents Of the festive season..

Worst Storm in Two
Years When Northern
Gale Hit Puget Sound

The storm which ragged over Puget
Sound early Monday morning inter-
rupted ferry service to Vashon Island
to such an extent that the ferry
schedule to Fauntleroy was disrupted
later In the day.
A stiff north wind aided by q high
tide drove to shore numerous logs
which accumulated around the vaslon
Heights dock, and the continual pound
ing Of these logs against the piling
broke off several of them. Some Of the
dolphins were also broken off. The
piling under the dock was Immediately
replaced.
In navigating a high rolling sea the
Seattle ferry docking at Vashon
Heights at 1880 sustained a disabled
rudder, and after that no trips were
made to Fauntleroy for the rest of the
day as the boat had only one rudder
to operate with. No cars were per-
mitted to enter the ferry because Of
the rough sea, the waves rolling as
much as five feet high. However, the
ferry boat made its regular schedule
to Seattle.
The storm was the worst on the
Sound in two years. The temperature
at vashon fell to 20 above zero was
made severe by the northern gale.
The snow storm Sunday night ap-
parently fell mostly in the northern
part of the Island, as many of the
localities at the south end had little or
no snowfall.

TINE INVESTOR

THE INVESTOR
James was a very thrifty man,
And hated like the deuce
To have pile of Christmas gifts
For which he had no use.
So taking ties, hose, slippers, pins.
Caps, pipes and calabash,
He held a modern rummage sale
And turned them into cash.
Then with the money thus procured
He bought lovely pearl
And placed 1t on the finger
OF the dear and only girl.
o, thrifty James was proud indeed,
Till early in the Spring
When they fell out forever, and
The dear girl kept the ring!

Bsall Poultry catalogs Garry
The Name Of Vashon to
Far Places

Last week l.. G. BealI, Jr., completed
the task of mailing out 4,4OO catalogs
to a list of countries that sounds more
like the index of an atlas than the
mailing list of poultry farm. Catalogs
were sent to every state in the Union
to every province in Canada, to
practically all of Central America
Mexico, Porto Rica, Bermuda, Danish
West Indies, Ireland, Scotland, France,
Spain, Italy, Germany, Holland, Bel
GUM, Soviet Russia, New Zealand
Australia, Siam, China and Japan
These were mailed under special
permit to list of customers, and in
curriers' compiled during the past
three years only. The list would have
been materially greater had Mr.. Beall
gone back farther into his files.
To those not primarily interested in
Vasllon Island this catalog probably
has interest only in that it carries in
formation about a fine strain of chick
ems, but to those who claim the Island
as home 1t represents far more. Thru
the attention he has drawn to his work
through conscientious methods and the
remarkable results he has obtained
and through the recognition that has
been accorded his work, as evidenced
by the endorsements that Mr.. Beall
has received from all parts of the
world, vashon has been familiarized to
many who possibly would never other
wise have heard of it,
Ordinarily commercial catalog con-
tains nothing of particular literary
merit, but the Beall catalog contains
q letter of appreciation from salts
fled customer in Japan, that for the
unusual use of the English language
can not be surpassed, and which shows
conclusively that the Beall birds "are

Toxic, Japan, June %, 1928
Mr.. L, G. Beall, Jr.
Vashon, Wash.
Dear Sir My Beall birds arrived Yo-
kohama on June 7th, p. m. in very
fine condition I was so glad to meet
them that 1 looked at them without
tirednesS.
While I was looking it noticed that
1t got to late to land them out, because
the officers of the boat were all gone.
1 could not come back to Toxic leaving
the birds. Fortunately, there were
many empty rooms in the boat, for
most of the passengers. had landed at
Yokohoma, so got one room in the
boat and carried The birds in to my
room and I slept there with the birds
in.
Early in the morning before four o.
clock they crew loud and was awak-
ened by them. noticed that these
two birds have very clear voice and I
was sure they were healthy.
Soon after brought them home
with me and put them in pullet pens
one TO each. Now they are boss of
each pen and are proud of their long
Journey telling the others about beau
tiful vashon Island
They fly up on The stand put in
the each pen and sing. Surely they
are good birds and Z am perfectly sat
isfied with them.
With many thanks, remain, will
write you from time to time.

Heavy rains Thursday and Friday

rise would be four to five feet above
flood level at Fulton and possibly
a foot above flood level at Index.
The most pronounced rise vas at

36 hours. Overflows at Fulton COY

Seaweed Potash Is
Suggested BY Swift

The possibility that the notorious
seaWeed al Boca ChIca viii actual
~ be utilized for commercial pur-
poses was disclosed IN a letter from
the nationally famous Swift ard
Company, Chicago, Friday.
The letter. written to the Browns
vile Chamber Of Commerce, ex-
planned that the potash content Of
seaweed was sometimes very hiSh.
and that good prices were paid FOR
it.
Swift and company suggested
that someone here rurn the sea-
weed, and send approximately two
pounds Of the ash to the conpany's
Houston or Harvey, La. plants for
testing.
The potash contsrt Of seaweed
varies considerably" TIE letter
stated. and we are not sure that
your suggested scheme OF burning
the weed with a view Of using the
ash as a source OF potash, would be
practical"

Forces Clash
One man is in the Mercy hos
pital today with a crushed elbow
as a result OF an open clash be
tween the two forces. The story
told by the growers follows:
One of their party was trailing
one of the trucks. Several cars
tried TO block the growers path
along the highway. The grower
asked that the cars be removed
from the road as they were block
ing traffic. The man replied that
he was stalled. The grower offered
10 push him out OF the way but
the man declined. The grower then
rammed the other car knocking 10
into q deep drain ditch.
The mar jumped from his a and
began beating the driver over the
head. standing on the running
board. The grower "gunned" his
car, yanked his steering wheel at
the same time. The man on the
running board fell. breaking his ell
