Securing Funds
For Island Library

In an effort to secure funds for the
operation of the library they maintain
at Burton committee Of the Vashon
Island Woman's Club, in conjunction
with the local paper have begun a
campaign which will furnish a little
of the money necessary to carry on
their good work. A partial list Of
those who are helping by paying
their subscriptions to the ladies are
Mrs. L. S. Robe, Mrs. Jas. Mattson,
Mrs. E. Bucknell, Mrs. R. w. NC
kinstry, Mrs. Meta Jones, Mrs. Frank
Carlson and Mrs, Elmer Harmeling.
Mrs. Carlson, showing the right spirit
toward the good work, presented Miss
Marjorie Stanley with check for her
subscription, even though it was not
due for several months.
In helping out in this manner it is
well for the public to remember that
every subscription given the ladies
means just one less cake that they
must bake and sell next summer rol
the maintenance of the Islands only
library.
Subscribers any place on the Island
wishing to help the organization may
do so by mailing their checks to Mrs.
L. S. Robe, Burton, and she will mail
a receipt and see that you are given
proper credit at this office.

BEVERLY HILLS.-Well all I know
is just what I read in the papers. Well
Mr.. Hoover got back from part of
the country he had never been in till
he was president. Its awful hard for
Mr.. Hoover to find new places to go
after election, for he has travelled so
much. But he manages to find some.
They was going to try battleship to
see if it would work after they had
had it renovated, SO he just says,
Here is the time for me to get away
from all this mess"
So he picked him out bunch of
congenial friends, mostly standpat Re
publicans and joined the Navy and
started seeing the world. 1t dident
used to be hard to find some place for
Coolidge to go where he had never
been, all you had to do was just to
suggest any one of the forty-eight
states outside of Vermont and Massa-
chusetts, and he was all set for new
territory.
When he set sail for Black Knobs
of South Dakota, why that compared
in Importance to him to Hoover leav-
ing for Mary Bird Land in the An
artic. Mr.. Coolidge did make Cuba
one time was there at the time, and
saw it and he got a great welcome
too. But Mr.. Hoover went on and
found the Virgin Islands. A good
many people thought such a place as
that was myth, but he went there
and found it really. People nowadays
call these Good will tours" But You
J cant get peoples good will nowadays
unless you bring EN- something. He
took EN- speech but no donations.
/, So outside of what fish he got on the
. trip, its kinder hard to figure out just
| the exact beneficiary results. He told
EN- that he wanted to give every one
of them the same as we had up here.
Well that depends on how well posted
they are on what is happening to us,
how they took that remark. In other
words If they took him at his word
and wanted what we got they would
Immediately ask for Red Cross relief
But I think 1t was mighty fine trip
for him to have taken, and IL will do
n lot of good. Roosevelt went down
there when he was president, and
everything he did was o x, so know
this must have been. Well what else
we got? Did you ever read such a
procession of acclaim as Charley
Chaplin is making all over Europe?
Why Chailey don't any more than
land in a country till the prime MIN
lister grabs him off to his home, like
some movie fan asking for an auto
graph, Charley is pretty foxy though,

and mighty well informed on affairs.
He can talk and argue with them. He
is a pretty rabid socialist, and has
made a pretty serious study of it.
But that Chaplin is all that these
real so-called artists are supposed to
be. And he is, he is the only genius
developed in the films since they
started. Any of us can get artistic"
and say we wont work till noon, or
wont do this or that. But we are do
ing it on some firms money, but Chap
lin can come on his set, and turn
loose 500 people, tell EN- he will call
EN- again some other time, and he is
doing it on his dough. Art amt put
on when you are paying for it out of
your own pocket. He writes, directs,
and acts the whole thing. Any one
else making a picture there is at least
a dozen people that are directly con-
cerned in its success. Chaplin re-
places all of them alone.
Say whats going to happen to this
wheat thing? The government bought
up lot of last years crop, and now
they got it, and here is coming along
another new crop. Borah wants to
give it to China to make rice out Of.
1 would like to see it given to renter
farmers in this country to make bread
out of. You'd be surprised if you
knew how little those poor people had
to live on that was issued by the Red
Cross. They did marvellous work as
usual the Red Cross, but what 1 mean
is if the same thing come up again,
I sure would like to see EN- have
enough more money so the issue of
rations would be larger. OF course
when you are getting charity you cant
be the chooser, but 1t was barely
enough to get along on. Now why
CdllI SUulellllIlB De uOlle Will SOllle VI
all this surplus wheat? We are going
to have to charge that Farm boards
operations off as a loss anyhow 1t
looks like now. Course l guess they
did what they thought was right. But
people can raise things faster in this
country than anybody can buy it, even
the government.
Say did you read in the papers
about bunch of women up in British
Columbia as protest against high
taxes, sit out in the open naked, and
they wouldent put their clothes onf
The authorities finally turned sprayei
that you use on trees, on en-. Tha,
may lead into quite thing. Woman
comes into the tax office nude, say

her and get anything. 1t sounds great

Island Concerned
Publishes Catalog

An industry, much out of the Or
binary, is being developed on the
North End of the Island at the Twick-
enham Estate. 1t is the commercial
rearing of gold fish, the ortgrowth of
beginning made four years ago in
the lily ponds developed by Mr.. E. j.
Moy for his own pleasure. His success
along these lines caused his friends to
urge him to go into raising gold fish
on larger scale, and now the plant
that has been developed consists of
twenty-five ponds, varying in size
from 500 gallon concrete ponds to
natural pools of about two acres, also
concrete pools under glass, aquariums
and other up-to-date equipment for
handling gold fish and supplies.
During the past two years a care
full study has been made of the pro-
ducts of various hatcheries in the
United States and abroad, special at
tention being given to the more at
tractive breeds of goldfish, such as
\ Lionheads, Orandas, Moors, Veiltails,
Calicos, etc. Realizing that the pub
lie is more interested in the rarer and
more beautiful specimen of fish Mr..
Moy first established satisfactory
sources of supply for new stock both
in this country and abroad, which in
conjunction with their own storage,
rearing and shipping facilities makes
ii possible for the Twickenham Water
Gardens to offer to the public an as
surance of year around healthy, ac-
climatized, high grade gold fish that
will give every satisfaction in this
territory.
Recently catalog was published
which is supposedly the only exclu-
sively goldfish catalog ever published.
1t not only contains lists and prices
of the many varieties of fish for sale,
but it contains also many illustra-
tons, both in colors and in black and
white, as well as information concern
ing waterplants, aquariums, orna-
ments and supplies which the Twick-
enham Estate Water Gardens offer
for sale. Several pages are devoted
to hints and suggestions for the
proper care of goldfish, perusal of
which makes one realize that to
properly rear valuable golfish is no
mean art.
Twickenham Estate, since becoming
the property of MI. Moy has been de-
veloped until it is one of the beauty
spots of the Island. To begin with
nature was indeed kind in the posi-
bilities which she provided, and on
the original foundation Mr.. Moy has
built, with infinite patience and good
taste, until he has produced wonder
full result Since coming to the Island
he has made an investment of about
100000 in his various branches which
embrace fox pens, pigeon lofts, fish
ponds, ETC., on large scale, as well
as a well equipped printing plant
plant which takes care of the large
business of the Reliance Printing
Company.
Aside from the interesting and
unique feature of this latest Island
venture the Twickenham Estate Water
Gardens are of intrinsic value to the
Island, for not only are they calling
attention to Vashon Island here in
the Northwest, but all over the coun-
try wherever their catalog goes they
are publishing to the world the fact
that there is such a place as "vashon,
Washington, U. S. A." located on
f'Vashon Island"
