Last Saturday evening the little
community Of Dockton was given a
taste Of outlawry that sounds like the
. mainland
A dance given to raise funds to i'm
prove the Dockton Community Hall,
the building in which residents of the
little village spend so many happy
hours in community gatherings, was
particularly well attended. The build

news THAT proceeds from the laffair
would go for this purpose brought out
an even larger crowd than usual.
At the close Of the evenings enjoy

Mr.. and Mrs. "A. j. Stuckey had gone
home. Mrs. stuckey's purse, with the
proceeds Of the evening was lying o.,
table, when suddenly the light
switch was pulled and man dashed
into the hall, snatched up the purse,
and escaped in Ford roadster that
was waiting. The whole thing hap
pened so utterly without warming that
there was no possibility of recognizing
the perpetrator Of the outrage.

BURTON AGAIN HAS
OUTDOOR CHRISTMAS TREE

Again Burton has come to the fore
with huge Christmas tree, to empha-
size the fact that that village believes
in showing the proper Yuletide spirit
This is the third year that brilliant
ly lighted tree has graced the square
in Burton.
With It's multi-colored lights the
tree can be seen for long way, from
the hill back Of Burton, from the
north, and particularly from the dock,
as the Tacoma boats land
This tree is a testimonial of the
spirit constantly displayed by the Bur-
ton Improvement Club who are re-
sponsible for its erection and decora-
ton. This club is wide-awake and ag-
gressive and does not overlook any
opportunity for keeping Burton in the
foreground.
It is to be hoped that next year
there may be many such out door
Christmas trees In the various COM
munities, following the custom that is
being almost universally established.

BEVERLY HILLS = When your
great Grandchildren are sitting
around Penal institution at recreation
time, they will talk of the time away
back when their parents and Grand
parents used to tell about a certain
man that flourished from around
1920 to 1910 and from then on Chill
dren will be as they are today, they
will have to be taught who was Presi-
dent around all that era. These con-
fined Grandchildren of ours will say,
Eyes we have great Coaches today,
we have great Teams But Dad says
every play they know was originally
done away back in his childhood by
Knute Rockne who founded Notre
Dame. This Notre Dame was just an
other stubblefield College, they cut
down the tall grass, damned up the
creek, and made another one of those
Indiana Institutions of learning that
flourished on practically every quar-
ter section throughout the State. Well
from what Grandad says, this Rockne
blew in there, and went to school.
He was Swede, or Norwegian, or
Dane, 6r some Of those Ski Jumping
Nations up in there. He dident know
Football from footpad. But these
Pumpkin seed Boys was kicking one
around there and playing what they
humorously referred to as Football.
They let him play with EN- Just for
comedy purposes, and for Swede, or
a Norwegian, or Dane, he. turned
out to be mighty good. Along about
then they started throwing forward
lpasses, so as to have some more fun
they got to throwing EN- to this swede,
.or Norwegian, or Dane. Well instead
OF this Swede, or Norwegian or Dane
lodging EN-, why he got to- catching
EN-, and Ski'ening over the line with
EN-. Well then he graduated, for they
wont let you stay in one of these
Schools but four years, no matter how
1
| little you know.
So he found some boys that dident
know much more about the game
than he did, so he started In coaching
EN-, the first thing you know he was
helping to coach Notre Dame. Well
he dident think he was much of a
Coach till he got to seeing some Of the
others. The head Coach got a Job at
what he thought was real high Goal
unlversity, and Knute took over the
team.
He told EN- that Football was
game of the head, and not Of the feet
and hands. Well 1t Just wasont no
time till Notre Dame had got out Of
the weeds. and raised their Scholastic
standing q half dozen touchdowns

ROGERS

and you started reading about it. 1t
wasent Just Buckwheat College, it
was right up in the money. 1t was
filling more Stadiums than any of EN-.
He then originated the unique idea
of playing real team every Satur-
day, instead of about three a season.
Then come his climax, as my old
Grandparents have told me. He was
a great Kidder. He was to play a
game on the coast against their best,
and their Sporting Writers had boost
ed their team up till 1t looked like
practical death for Knute to even go
on the field with EN-. Well he started
in before they lift Chicago, saying
that his team dident have chance,
that they would be beat, as they had
lost their only Star. Well on the
Coast they fell for 1t, and when he
got to Tuscon, Arizona to practice,
why he was supposed to have lost an
other Star, a Mr.. Mullins. The Sport
ing Writers come down to see who he
was practicing in Mullins place and
they noticed No. 81. They looked it
up and 1t was Mr.. Hanley. But
when the game started a gent named
O'Connor was the starter. Nobody
had ever heard Of him, but nobody
will ever forget him. Then the news
leaked out that during this Arizona
practice he had been wearing Han
leys sweater. But No Sporting Writer
had ever thought of that. Well he
kidded EN- right up to game time, and
even got the odds against his team.
Well Gradpap says that when they
kicked off Notre Dame got ahold Of
the ball and never give 1t back to the
other side all day. But the thing that
Gradpap laughed about was the way
this fellow Rockne just kidded the
pants off the whole Pacific coast from
the time he left South Bend till he
got back. Barnum Gradpap says in
his balmiest days never made such a
Sucker out Of folks with his side show
as this Knute fellow did singlehanded.
outside Of what his team did to the
others. He even told EN- that next
year they would beat him that bad.
Well everybody was surprised to know
that they would play EN- again next
year. Nobody ever heard OF the Kaiser
wanting o return date.
But 1 have Just heard Gradpap sit
by the hour and tell some Of the
Komical things this Rockne did In his
day. Yes Sir, Gradpap says he Is the
one that made Notre Dame more
famous than Oxford and Cambridge,
This swede, or Norwegian, or Dane,
or Lithuanian, or whatever he Is.

vAsHoN ISLAND
AGAIN REPRESENTED

AS we read of the delight of the
throngs who visited the newly decor
ated County City Building when it
was opened to the public last Sunday
we were glad that vashon Island had
a part in the beauty Of the decora-
lions.
When the offices of the mayor of
Seattle were being planned for, Nor
man Edison was approached by the
firm doing the work, and asked about
furnishing two large pictures. He was
requested to appear with samples and
suggestions. but being too busy with
Christmas work he replied that he
could not appear before them "in per-
SON., but that if they were interested
they could go to certain art store in
Seattle, select the subjects they most
fancied and he would deliver the pic
lures on time, even though the time
limit was rather short. Much to his
surprise he was given the order. in
preference to several Seattle artists
who were eager for it.
The pictures five feet long by thirty
inches wide, were finished in record
time, and will delight the hundreds
who constantly visit the offices of his
honor, the mayor.
The subjects chosen were Seattle
Waterfront" and Dawn on the Noun
tain, (the artist tactfully emitting to
mention what niountain). The former
picture was taken from West Seattle
and shows long stretch Of water
front, with the Smith Tower standing
out prominently In the foreground
The picture Of the mountain was taken
from Maury Island, near Raecco
Beach, and Is typical Edison picture
Again Norman Edison has given the
Island something Of which to be
proud, and more Of the WORTHWHILE
advertising that helps us most.

New Jersey has startled the nation by
declaring the eighteenth amendment
unconstitutional and the attorney gen.

If sustained 1t means that the pro-
hibition act is void. But that means
nothing to this state. The prohibition
bone-dry law here is still in effect and
will remain in effect until repealed by
