Receives Shipment
OF Angora Rabbits

On Wednesday G. F. Hess, of Seattle
delivered a shipment Of Angora rab-
bits to Chas. England, which consisted
Of 20 does and 5 bucks Some of
these rabbits will be kept at the
hutches being built on the England
property north of Vashon and a few
placed at the Goodwill farm. Leland
England, who will remain at home
this winter, will take charge of the
animals, which are conceded to be
some of the best that can be pur-
chased in this part Of the country.
These rabbits are from Farne stock,
and are all pedigreed.
The wool rabbit industry is a grow
ing one in this section of the United
States, and already state association
has been formed, with small associ-
ations in all parts of the state, shat is
now in position to ship in the
quantities considered by the eastern
manufacturers. Previous to this the
manufacturers would have no dealings
with the small producer who could
ship only few pounds of wool, at
best, at one time. These producers
have been the prey of the spectators
who seldom paid more than five or
six dollars a pound, while the associ-
alton is in position to get around
eight dollars a pound for rabbit wool.
OF this amount about five dollars
comes back to the producer. Growers
estimate that the feed required to pro-
duce pound of wool amounts to
$l.50, which with the new stock being
produced leaves more than a working
wage.
1t would seem that the Angora wool
business has many possibilities locally.
AS far as anyone can judge it will be
long time before there will be de-
crease in the demand. 1t is particu-
larly safe bet for the small producers
who have a ranch, or space for
hutches and who possess the ingenuity
to build their own plant and the ordi-
nary common sense to take care of
the rabbits. Those with experience
state that the more simple the equip
ment the better the rabbits can be
cared for. In this, as in every new
industry the market is flooded with
impractical equipment which only
adds to the care of the rabbits, rather
than expediting it. One person can
easily care for six Or seven hundred
animals, and much of the feed can be
produced along with their care, cut
ting the cost of upkeep to a minimum.

Many Willing To
Help With Sewing

With the same old good hearted
spirit the women of Vashon- Maury
are interested in helping with the
sewing to be done soon for needy chill
dren. The first donation received al
this office was roll of useable ma
terials from Mrs. T. Jorgenson, Of
Vashon. These were short ends, rem
nants of material of garments which
Mrs. Jorgenson had made, which will
combine nicely with other materials.
Several have volunteered materials,
among which is heavy coat that has
been ripped up and is ready to be
remade; underwear that is no longer
wearable, but that can be remade into
children's garments, pieces of outing
flannel. One woman said that al
though she had 10 scraps of outing
flannel she would donate piece of
new material. A number have called
to signify willingness to help with
the sewing.
Mrs. F. j. Shattuck is in charge OF
the work and will get the materials
from Seattle very soon Meetings will
be held at homes, and supply OF
;hildren's clothing will be made as
soon as possible. Simple patterns for
various ages of children are solicited
as well as materials. Electric sewing
machines will also be need to be bor-
rowed.
Donations may be left at the News
Record office. The announcement OF
the time and place of the first sewing
day will probably be made in next
weeks News-Rerord.

Sessa End Road
Will Be Extended

Through the prompt action of the
road committee of the Commercial
Club and the cooperation of Rep A.
]. McKinnon the new South End road
Is to be completed through to Burton.
There Is also possibility that the
strip from Sheffield's to Laras which
was not included in the original con-
tract will also be completed This is
to be done with the balance of the
money secured from state funds two
years ago by the determined effort of
Mr.. McKinnon.
State surveyors are now at work
laying out the section from Shawnee
to Burton dock. State Engineer Schere
has called for bids, and at his sug-
gestion Mr.. Erickson, of the Erickson
Construction Company, has left the
machinery used on the other road here
for the time being, until the contract
is let. This company will Of course
submit their bid on the work.
In a telephone conversation recent
ly Mr.. McKinnon stated that II he re-
turned to Olympia this winter that he
would Go everything possible to have
the new road continued to the pave
ment. This will make long stretch
of highway under the state system
which would mean that the mainten-
ance will be up to the state instead Of
the county.
When Mr. McKinnon announced his
candidacy two years ago one Of the
promises he made was that he would
make every effort to see that Vashon
Island was given a fairer deal in the
matter of state road money than 1t
had been given in the past. His i'm
mediate district of Enumclaw was at
that time making every effort toward
the completion of the Matches high
way as well as other roads which
would mean much to their district.
Mr. McKinnon was given the sanction
of his constituency to cut off of the
appropriation they we're see k ing
enough to keep faith with the Vashon
district As member of the road and
bridge committee Mr.. McKinnon re-
manned firm in his demands for the
Island and succeeded in getting an
appropriation of $4,000. With $4,000
appropriated by the county commits
sioners for improvement of the South
End road practically all Of the clear
ing of the right of way was done, Civ
ing work to Island men at a time last
winter that it was desperately needed
This preliminary work done with
county funds resulted in a balance OF
the state funds that will mean a fine
highway from Tallequah to Burton
dock.
That Archie McKinnon will make
good his promise to do his best to
secure continuation OF this road
goes without saying. He has a real
interest in the Island; his home dis
trict has a friendly spirit toward the
Island and will support Mr.. McKinnor
in anything he does for us. There is
little doubt that the Island people will
show their appreciation at the genera
election, as they did at the primary
election of what Mr.. McKinnon, with
the support of his running mate, Mr.
Costello, has done for our road system
