Prof. Klemme To
Speak At Banquet

The Fathers and Sons banquet
which has become an annual Island
affair this year promises one Of the
most brilliant programs that has ever
been presented at one of these ban
quets. It will be held on Friday eve
ming of next week, November 10, at
the Island Club. The dinner will be
served by the women Of the Preby-
terrain church.
The custom of such banquet was
started locally by Rev. Hugh Arm
strong number Of years ago. In &C.
cordance with a national observance.
and has continued to be the one oc-
casion to which the Island fathers
and sons look forward as distinctly
their own. Each year late Corners
have had to be disappointed by not
being able to secure tickets.
With the splendid speaker secured
for the 1881 Fathers and Sons ban
quet there is little doubt but that
there will be more disappointments
this year than in previous ones.
Through the cooperation Of Mr..
Robertson and Mr.. Ackley, Of the high
school, Prof. Klemme has been secured
as the principal speaker for the eve
ming. He Is a speaker and writer Of
some note, and bears reputation for
addresses that are entertaining, and
witty, yet with a profound message to
his listeners His subject for the eve
ming will be, "That Horrid Boy, and
it is not hard to imagine what a
speaker with his ability can do with
a topic of that sort. He is in great
demand, and 1t was only by making
early arrangements that the COM
mittee were able to secure Prof.
Klemme for Friday evening.
In addition to Prof Klemme there
will be number of local entertainers
on the program. Mr.. Geo. Schmidt
will sing a group of tenor solos; a
male quartette will give several songs
and Miss Jean Stone will give several
whistling numbers.
This year, as in past years, men
who have no sons of their own to take
to the banquet will see to it that boys
without fathers will not be left out.

JACKSON coRBET NOT SO WELL.


Just as we go to press word comes
that the condition of Jackson Corbet,
editor of the Marine Digest, is not as
favorable as we were able to report
last week.
Mr.. Corbet's shoulder has had to be
reset, and the bruised portion of his
lung Is not clearing up as his doctor
had hoped 1t would. His pain for the
past several days has been so intense
that he has been kept under an opiate
for the last 48 hours.
With his host of friends so happy
over the excellent reports of last week
the News Record is indeed sorry to
publish this report that is not SO
favorable. While We cannot but feel
that Mr.. Corbet's splendid vitality will
mean an ultimate recovery 1t is
tragically unfortunate that this acci-
dent took place.
1t will be recalled this Mr.. Corbet
was injured more than two weeks ago
when collision with private car
caused the wreck of the vashon Is
land Transportation Company's Lin
coin bus at the point where the
Quartermaster road enters the main
Burton highway.
Another automobile collision oc-
s,curred this week on the pavement
: near Mrs Hannay's ranch. The cars
of E. Stevenson and Howard Willse
collided. Several damaged wheels
was the net result of the encounter.

Huge Sugar Beets
Are Grown Here

On Wednesday II, o. Wegener, OF
Lisabeula, brought to this office two
huge sugar beets for us to see. He
asked us to weigh them, to verify hia
statement that one weighed 10 and
the other IL pounds, but we believed
our eyes and insisted on taking Mr..
Wegener's word for 1t,
Doubling the statement made by
several that sugar beets could not be
successfully grown here, Mr.. Wegener
last spring sent to Germany for a
half pound Of seed, the best that
could be procured. He took no par
tlcular care Of the plants, not even
bothering to cultivate them after
they we're thlnned and transplanted.
The result, when the crop was har-
vested were. $50 beets Weighing eight
pounds and over, the remainder being
about the usual size Of sugar beets
Mr.. Wegener will plant this years
crop out next spring to produce seed.
He feels that his results this year
prove beyond a doubt that sugar beets
can be as successfully grown here as
in the sections noted for their culti-
walton. If size is any indication 1t
would seem that he is not far wrong,
for we have seen sugar beets grown
In Colorado and know that they don't
grow there to anything like the size
of these vashon Island specimen.

Treat In Store At
High School Fri. Eve

Music lovers, teachers and students
are eagerly anticipating the appear
ance of the Broadway High School
A Cappella Choir, Friday evening
which Is being brought to the Island
by Anna v. Lesh. The program
promises numbers of interest to all
from the early Christmas Song in six
parts found in schumann's Gesang-
buch, 1889, to the compositions of our
own time. The sacred Norwegian
Folk Song by Grieg is sung in Nor
wegian,
Newspaper criticisms are all in the
superlative in speaking Of the work OF
the choir. 1.-The program chosen was
excellent, finely interpreted by these
students Of music, and the young peo-
pie were picture indeed, as they
marched onto the stage"
1.-THE singers harmony blended like
a great orchestra. from the softest
notes to the organ-like fortissimo
tones"
ITO listen to the A Cappella Choir is
more than an entertainment, 1t is an
experience"
'"The choir achieved beauty OF
tone and excellence of music interpre-
tation that is the lot Of few choirs."
All that I could think of was a
great organ, responsive to the Slight
est touch on the keys"
The story of the place the Broadway
high school a cappello choir has come
to occupy In the musical world is told
by the fact that it has been in
vited to sing at the worlds fair to be
held in Chicago in 1888. This choir
is one of the things we will not have
to travel long distance to hear, but
it will be one of the attractions that
will interest q great many of those
who will make the trip to Chicago in
1888.
The buses are giving fine coopera-
ton in making schedule and spec
ial round trip rate from many points
on the Island, which makes 1t pos,
sible for all who SO desire to hear this
wonderful group of boys and girls, who
have achieved the ultimate in high
school chorus work,

the Beall pullets that are for sale have
been sold with the record that birds
from the Beall flocks have been maxi
ing In the past months.

OF six pens Of 10 birds each. ten con-
testants and three alternates. Nine
birds died during the contests. Only
ten hens had less than 200 eggs, Nine
had from 200 to 22s eggs The so re-
maining are the 50 highest. These
so are the hens that won second
award In the Poultry Item Trophy
contest based on the five high ten
bird pens total throughout the United
States. This an average Of 257.l6 eggs
per bird and 25s.28 points per bird.
This means that from the time they
started to lay until the end Of the
contest their eggs averaged "a ounces
and better to the dozen.
Beall pens were on the honor roll
in Michigan having third place. One
OF the hens was In the ten highest
individuals by points and one In the
ten highest individuals by eggs.
In the Southwest National Beall
pens we're third In both points and
eggs. OF the hens in the entire con-
test to score over 800 points, two
were Beall birds. In this contest 8
Beall hens laid over $50 eggs each.
In the Texas National the Beall
pens were among the ten high pens
for both eggs and points, being 9Th
In the Western Washington, Beall
birds led the contest up until the 9th
month and then held second place
until the end of the contest.
In the San Joaquin Valley Farm
Bureau contest they were among the
ten high pens, holding 9th place. Here
the egg size was also very satisfactory.

CARNIVAL NETS TIDY SUM.

The carnival staged by the students
of the high school last Friday evening
was well attended and netted the tidy
sum of $3.50.
The Queens election brought in the
largest amount. Katherine Berry was
crowned Queen during the evening in
a pretty ceremony.
Other features that proved good
money makers were the vodvil, the
general concessions, the niger baby
stand and the fish pond.
The money derived from this affair
will be spent in the various activities
of the student body during the school
year.
There is still owing a part of the
money due on the curtain in the
auditorium, and it is hoped that this
Indebtedness can very soon be paid.

Atom Is Shattered
By Noted Scientist

New York, Dec. 2.--R)-Prof. Rob-
crt Andrews Millikan, one of Amer
ica's foremost scientists, has found a
way to smash the atom, once con-
sidered the smallest thing in the uni
verse.
But the universe itself, he believes
contrary to the opinion OF many of
his fellow scientists-is not eventually
going to be smashed.
DR.. Millikan said he and his collea-
que, Karl D. Anderson, have been sue
cessful in smashing the atom by the
use of the cosmic, or alpha ray.
1T requires ordinarily 2,50000 volts
to disintegrate nucleus" he said.
"As the cosmic ray attains a voltage
of from 100000 to 5000, 900, the bonn
bardment Of an atom with. this ray
became simple matter.
"The effect of this bor1bardment is
to scatter the electrons at about the
speed of light, or 10000 miles. a Sec
ond."
