The Federal Government had reached

two days she had led demonstrations
against the police, been arrested twice
and had publicly proclaimed herself as
responsible for the strike of $4,000 tex
tile operatives.
Miss Berkman was to remain in the
custody of the Federal authorities until

ment of her counsel that she should
be readmitted to bail until the same

order to the Circuit Court of Appeals.
She was released on ball. but the

ISLAND GROWN FLOWERS ON
DISPLAY AT KIMMEL STORE

A large bouquet of flowers from the
gardens of Mrs. John w. Roberts has
delighted all who have passed the G.
G. Kimmel store for the past few
days. Mrs. Roberts scouts at the idea
that all flowers need is plenty of love,
and holds that they need mostly good
soil, proper fertilizer, sufficient water,
and an abundance Of cultivation. And
since this is her program the products
of her gardens surely show that she
is at least 80 percent right. In the
lovely combination OF lilies, gladioli,
and hydrangea the gorgeous gold
banded Chinese lilies are outstanding
ly attractive, but the deeply, darkly''
blue hydrangea is revelation. Mrs.
Roberts generosity in placing these
flowers so that the passers-by may
enjoy them, has given pleasure to
many more than would possibly have
seen them had they been left in her
gardens or placed in her home, and
have proved q convincing argument
for the production of really fine flow
ers on the Island.

Chicken Thieves
Busy On Island

According TO the various complaints
chicken stealing seems to be the order
OF the day. and the offenders appar-
emily are getting holder.
r. J. Armstrong, we understand has
been visited several times lately by
thieves who were determined TO con-
sumo nil Of his small flock Of twenty
five chickens, but allowed Mr.. Arm
strong tho fun Of taking care Of them
until more were needed, since they
took only y few ut each visit, Despite
his thinking the chickens were safe
Mr.. Armstrong was again visited on
Saturday night even though the
thieves had to crawl under portion
Of the store. Indications were that
the nocturnal visitors were on their
way home from the dance ut Center
and left souvenirs behind.
The same night Mr.. and Mrs. A.
Urquhart were awakened by noise
Of voices and car across the road,
near one of the l.. O. Beall colony
houses. They looked out and saw two
women prylng open the gate Of the
yard, with the lights Of the car shin
ing fully upon them. Knowing that
Mr.. Beall was not at home Mr., Urqu-
hart went to phone MIR. Wallace Beall,
Tie had difficulty in getting central,
and by the time he could arouse Mr.,
Beall the car drove off. The lights
had been turned off and Mrs. Urqu-
hart who was watching was unable to
tell whether the visitors succeeded In
getting any Of the birds, or whether
they were frightened away by another
car. Their car drove away to the
south and was pursued by Mr.. Beall
and Thomas, armed with guns, but
the pursuers were unable to apprehend
the thieves.
Poultrymen do not intend to allow
the practice of chicken stealing OH the
, Island to become the nuisance that It
has on the mainland and drastic men
sures will be taken to put stop to 1t,
They have Just started to emerge from
q period of tremendous difficulties, and
something must be done to save the
flocks that for the past year have
scarcely paid their own way. This is
practice that can be stopped with
the proper cooperation and 1t is the
intention of all concerned to see that
the offenders are brought to justice.

tuberculosis League
To Launch Drive

The Antl-Tuberculosis League Of
King County Is launching drive to
raise funds to maintain their health
camp at Happy Acres the year round.
AT the present time thru lack of funds
the camp has only been able to re-
main open for six weeks. But the
need this year is so great that every
effort Is being made to raise the de-
sired amount, which will permit the
camp to be continued thruout the
year. Besides the forty children be-
ing cared for at the camp at present,
the League has two hundred and
eighty-seven on the waiting list, each
in dire need Of what the camp has to
offer.
These youngsters are all under
weight and in danger of developing
tuberculosis. While if'given chance
for wholesome and proper food, plenty
of rest and sunshine, with supervised
recreation, 1t is believed that the chill
dren of King county will be far less
likely to be targets for sickness, that
great enemy Of happiness. And feel
ing that 1t is the sacred right for
children to be as healthy as knowl-
edge can make them, the League is
earnestly working to make tn. drive
a success. 1t is estimated that $4,000
will take care of one child for period
Of ten weeks; and $4,000 for five weeks.
The immediate need is very great and
funds must be raised at once if the
tremendous number of children
brought to the Society's attention thru
clinics, nurses, and welfare organiza-
lions, are to be offered helping hand
and given boost out of the danger
zone. The camp site is on Mercer Is
land, where visitors are always well
come. ~
All communications may be address,
ed to the tuberculosis League,
and particulars concerning the camp
or drive will be happily given to any
one calling at the Leagues Head
quarters, 61l5 Arcade Building, or
