A SAFE, SANE AND SOBER 4TH.

y
The 4th of July soon viii be here
and parents and children will join in
one big celebration. But will it be a
safe and sane" festivity or will it
leave behind it hundreds of injured
children, and record of many un-
necessary deaths?
Long has it been recognized that
toy pistols, firecrackers, skyrockets and
other forms of fireworks cause danger
Gus accidents and most of our cities
have prohibited their sale. But these
death-dealers are boot-legged outside
the city limits and indulgent parents
buy them rather than deny the i'm
portuning child that which may do
him much damage.
1t is important to remember, in case
accidents do occur, that any wound is
fertile soil for the growth of tetanus
lockjaw germs, and that if any wound
is deep, not wide open to the air. rag
ged or dirty, particularly if it is with
earth, the person who is infected
should go to doctor at once, have
the the wound thoroughly cleaned, and
if the doctor considers it wise, the
patient should have dose of anti
tetanic serum, the best preventive that
is known.
Do not neglect any wound, no mat
ter how trivial it may be-. 1t is some
times the trivial wounds that are the
dangerous ones, from the standpoint
of the development of lockjaw.
We more truly honor the founders
of our country by celebrating in such
a manner as not to jeopardize prec-
ious American lives. Already more
lives have been sacrificed by 4th of
July follies than were lost in the War
of Independence. Let us be safe, and
sane, and sober this coming 4th.

the screaming and hollering, some OF
these old blue racers go into the crowd
so fast that they are out among tue
people before the catcher can get EN-
Then the dancer goes by this little
Teepee, and gets another snake. He
takes 1t, (generally rattle snake, and
some big ones) in his hands and they
all go through the same plan. He puts
the snakes neck, about four or five
inches back of its head, into his own
mouth, and then he takes his two
hands and holds te body Of the snake

actly like a Saxaphone.
There is one man behind each snake
dancer who don't have snake. He
looks like he is there to attract the
snakes attention in case he might
want to bite He himself is not near
enough to be bit. So guess he d.
reefs the snake where to bite the other
fellow. Each dancer must have danced
with as many as 10 snakes.
There was about 20 taking Fart in
the whole dance. At the finish they
grab UP all the snakes and run t, the
four corners Of the compass, down over
the hill, and turn the snakes loose.
If the white people keep on interfer.
ing with the dance. think they will
turn 'em loose in their automobiles.
That will take the snakes to the four
corners Of the earth.
These men train for this dance, and
they fast for days. and then they drink

Lily Show This
Week, June 27-28

Will Rogers stated that If Hoover
ever had any luck he would be good
one to tie to, for he surely had SONS
mighty tough breaks to overcome. He
referred specifically to the instance of
Hoover's speech which robbed nation
OF Amos an Andy fans Of their daily
enjoyment of that radio hour.
BY the same sign If the lily show
this year is a success 1t should become
an all Island institution, for the news
papers, Seattle and local have surely
succeeded in making a mess Of pub
fishing the correct dates of the affair.
The city papers on Sunday even had
the show over, prizes awarded, etc.
Our unfortunate error last week was
inexcusable. Our use Of the word July
was a perfectly natural mistake for we
wrote. the story of the carnival first
and had that month so firmly in mind
that when we wrote about the lily
show we Just naturally said July in
stead of June. We can't even comfort
ourselves by thinking that we did have
the correct date on the second page
of that issue.
In order to counteract the effect of
the erroneous dates published in
Seattle papers it has been necessary
for members of the lily association and
other flower fanciers to personally
notify friends Of the correct date.
The show will be held Saturday and
Sunday of this week at the Island
Club, at Vashon. AS stated last week,
flowers will be received Saturday from
a. m. to II a. m. The judging will
be made from II a. m. until l p. m.
The show will open at o'clock on
Saturday. On Sunday the hours will
be from 10 a. m. until p. m.
|, In addition to the prizes given in
all classes of exhibits there will be a
number of trophies awarded. These

are being donated by Island people
interested in promoting the growth of
flowers locally.
Despite the continued rain that has
injured so many of the flowers lily
growers state that the lilies will not
be hurt appreciably, and that there
will be thousands OF perfect blooms in
the fields that will make trip to the
Island worth ones time and effort.
This annual lily show is one of the
best means of advertising the Island
that we have and deserves the support
of everyone interested in the Island,
no matter whether possessing any
knowledge OF flowers or not. The
strawberry festival was the original
manner in which the attention of the
public was called to Vashon Island
and furnished a fine means of adver-
tisement. With It's discontinuance the
lily show has taken its place, and
many have come to know Vashon Is
land through the show as in years past
many came here because Of the straw
berry festival.
The show is sponsored and arranged
by the lily growers association, but it
should receive the support of every or
ganization and individual interested in
advertising Vashon Island to the
world. The lily show is unique and
civic pride should insure its continu-
ance, 1t is for the whole Island, and
while the lily growers are the logical
ones to manage it the entire financial
responsibility should not fall entirely
on them.
There are going to be a lot of visi-
tors on Saturday and Sunday, in spite
of everything, so it is up to every
flower grower on the Island, with any
flowers worth exhibiting to enter them

ISLAND MAN RE-oPENs
MINE AT BAKER, ORE.


Several weeks ago L. S. Robe, of
Burton, left the Island for Baker,
Ore, to again take up his work as
mining engineer. The following item
clipped from the Baker Democrat
Herald of June 10Th will be of interest
to MIR. Robes Island friends:
1.-THE White Swan mine, closed since
1908, will be reopened with an initial
crew of about is men next week under
the management of L. S. Robe, a noted
mining engineer. The White Swan
Mining company, which has taken the
property on lease and option, in
cludes Seattle, Yakima and Wenatchee
men, according to Jesse Edwards who
with George Cullen interested this
group in the mine. A small crew is
getting the property in readiness for
active operation this week.
-. E. sayre, Seattle, president, in
company with John Baocock, Yakima,
Mr.. Cassidy, Seattle and Messrs Tig-
Ter, father and son OF Wenatchee, left
today for Washington by car after
making arrangements for the resump-
ton of the work.
1.-THE White Swan is one Of Baker
county's most famous mines. 1t oper-
ated for several years at profit and
was making money when Letsor
Ballet got into trouble with the gov
eminent in 1908 and work had to be
stopped.

Hiram A. Stanley
Passes Away

AIJer BTdullal ueCllIc chtcllltiiiB
over several years, Hiram A. Stanley,
nationally known author and former
newspaper man passed away last
Saturday, June Goth. Death came
peacefully, and Mr. Stanley was at
rest after a long and active life.
Hiram A. Stanley was born at Bing
hamton, New York, February IL, 1859.
In boyhood Mr.. Stanley began at an
early age to earn his own way and by
dint of that training later made sue
cess of the business Of managing his
newspaper, the Binghamton, New
York; Herald Mr.. Stanley was not
only brilliant newspaper man but
had marked ability as writer OF
short stories and novels, and several of
his books of fiction have been accept
ed as classics for boys. These books
were written after Mr.. Stanley came
to the coast.
In 1885 Mr.. Stanley was united in
marriage to Miss Rose Lester, of Bling
hamton. Mr.. and Mrs. Stanley con-
tinued to live in Binghamton where
Mr.. Stanley gained for himself the en-
viable reputation of being one of the
leading editors of the state. Too close
application to tine strenuous work his
position demanded led to complete
breakdown, and in 1896 when his
prospects were the brightest he was
obliged to dispose Of his newspaper in
terests and come west.
In the hope Of regaining his health
he came to Seattle, and purchased a
:. home on Queen Anne Hill, living there
for five years, when he purchased the
home on Quartermaster Harbor thai
the family still occupies.
Funeral services from the family
home Tuesday afternoon were conduct
ed by DR.. w. A. Major, former pastor
Of Bethany Presbyterian church on
Queen Anne Hill, and personal
friend of the Stanley family. He was
assisted by REV Carstens. The friends
present who had known Mr.. Stanley,
and had admired his splendid intel
lect mourned his passing, but they
could not but feel that at last he had
!. found rest and peace from his past
few years of illness and unrest. The
sympathy of wide circle of friends
is with the family which has formed
an integral part of the community life
and development ever since they have
lived on the Island.
Interment was in the vashon ceme-
terry
Mr.. Stanley is survived by his wife
and three children, Clifford L., OF
Newark, New Jersey, whose duties as
a naval architect prevented his COM
ing home for his fathers funeral
Bert H. and Marjorie. of Portage; All,
sister, Mrs. r. B. Mills, of Cincin-
natti, Ohio.
Relatives present from away were
Mrs John Watrous, an aunt, and hei
two daughters, Miss Lillian and Mrs
Bertha Andreason, all of Olympia.
