ISLAND YOUNGSTER
MAKES GOOD SHOWING

Despite the fact that he was the
youngest entrant, Paul BiIlingsley
came very near to victory in the races
staged on Green Lake this week for
the entertainment of the visiting Elks.
His good boat Duck Soup" did her
best. but 1t just wasn't in the cards
that Paul was to win, as he did at
Bellingham last week.
The race on Green Lake was run
off in three heats. In the first heat,
while in the lead and with only about
100 feet to go the motor of the Duck
Soup" stopped cold when minor
break occurred. The engine was quick
ly repaired and in the second heat
Paul came In first. In the third
heat, however, his boat collided with
another and was overturned.
In this race even though in the
amateur class the fourteen year owner
of the Duck Soup competed with
boys and men, some twice his age. His
performance under trying conditions
showed that Paul possesses the stuff
that will bring him many successes
II he continues with speed boat racing.

Burton Woman
Injured From Fall

AS the aftermath of an accident oc-

the Odd Fellows hall, Center, Mrs. A.

the ground. Instead of falling direct
ly to the ground both women rolled
down the steps which prevented an
even more serious injury.
Mrs. Rees was not hurt, other than
the shock, but Mrs. Young suffered an
injury that has kept her confined to
her bed ever since Examination at
the hospital to which she was taken
disclosed that one of the vertabrae of
her spine had been wrenched out of
place, and 1t will be necessary for
her to wear cast until the injured

A NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

The following story was sent to us
by one of our friends who said, II
found the following today and thought
of you" Now we're wondering
whether it was the fact that the story
involves an editor and delinquent
subscriber, or because of the inference
of the last few words. Anyway, we
like the story:
"a citizen who was seven years in
arrears for his home paper; who had
never had a good word to say for the
editor; and who was always opposed
to public improvements, was dying, so
the latest story runs. How do you
feel?' asked the editor, who was on
hand to write the obituary. All looks
bright before me- gasped the dying
man. I thought so,' returned the
editor, you'll see the blaze in about
ten minutes. Kablegram.

New Features Added
To Carnival This Year

A feature of the annual carnival put
on by the Vashon Business Mems Club
that proves unfaillngly interesting is
the Sperry pigeon race. These pigeons
are liberated on the carnival grounds
and each and every person attending
Is given chance to guess on the
length of time that will elapse from
the time the birds are set free until
they enter the lofts at Tacoma. AS
in years past the Sperry company will
give prizes to those guessing the near
est the correct time.
Word received this week indicate
that number of new features will be
added as well as improvements on
amusements that proved particularly
last year at the Vashon Business Mems
carnival.
The committee in charge report
many inquiries concerning this affair
that provides lot of fun; an oppor-
tunity to forget ones dignity; the one
all-Island play day that always re-
suits in some permanent community
improvement. Unlike the usual car
nival which takes money out of the
community this local affair keeps and
invests right here all except small
percent of what is taken in. Proof
that the Island people enjoy them
selves is that they are interested in
the coming carnival.
The fun will start Friday evening
and continue through Saturday, until
midnight, July II and 18th.
