ATTACK BY STRANGERS

Last Saturday afternoon, while
demonstrating with three young fell
lows who were stealing boat moored
on his beach, Mr.. Stump, residing
on Sunset Beach was badly beaten up,
receiving a bad scalp wound, and a
cut over one eye. DR.. McMurray was
obliged to take number of stitches
in each wound.
The men were strangers to Mr..
Stump, and up to the present time no
clue to who his attackers were. 1t is
believed that they were drifters, as
the Island man was sure he had seen
none of them before.
Sunset Beach is near Lisabeula, and
it seems that the west side of the
Island is suffering from more than its
share of lawlessness.

GET READY FOR THE FAIR.

Last year the All fair was a decided
success. This year it is going to be a
greater success. More boys and girls
are working, and the interest in the
club is increasing among the older
people, so it is anticipated that the
fair this year will assume the proper
tions Of the Island fair of the old
days.
1t is urged that while planting and
planning garden this spring and sum-
mer that this fair be kept in mind,
and that the Island people plan to
exhibit anything they may have that
Is out of the ordinary More are
gardening this year than ever before,
and it will be an easy matter to get
together fine material.
The date Of the local fair will coin
eide with the Puyallup fair, and any
thing that is good enough for the Puy-
allup fair will be good enough for the
local event.

CONGRESSIONAL MAILING
PRIVILEGE COSTS MILLIONS

Washington, D. C.-Government ex-
penses are materially boosted by the
heavy tonnage of free mail sent under
congressional frank. Part of 1t is po-
litical campaign literature. 1t goes
out by the trainload. Senators and
congress men loan their franks so that
lobbyists and even candidates for pub
lie office can circulate free literature
at government expense.
Before reporting some instructive
statistics, specific case will explain
the intricacies of this free mailing
racket, which has been flourishing un-
checked by the depression alongside
the family payroll racket, the fancy
fishing and dude ranch junkets which
are kindly paid for, down to fishing
licenses, mineral water" and soda,
out Of the senate contingent fund.
Mails Out Speeches
Claude Weaver, who served twb
years as Democratic congressman
from Oklahoma and retired in 1915 to
become postmaster at Oklahoma city,
is running for congress again. He has
mailed out from Oklahoma City copies
of one of his speeches, under the
frank of Senator Carter Glass, Demo-
cratic, Virginia. He has just asked
Glass to supply him 10000 more frank
ed envelopes but the senator refused,
he told the United Press.
These speeches are printed in a
form initiating the congressional
record and bear at the top of the line
in black type mot printed at govern
ment expense" That much is true.
Weaver can get all he wants of them
at the government printing office for
$3.50 a thousand copies.
Throw In Envelopes
The government will throw in free
strong MANILA envelopes on which the
former congressmans name is printed
in large black type The government
will fold the speeches, insert them in
the envelopes, seal the envelopes. Pack
them in mailbags and deliver them to
Viewers office in Oklahoma City free
Of charge. There Weaver can address
the envelopes and dump them in the
mail and they will be delivered free
to prospective voters.
Last year members of congress mail
ed out 33.a13,O32 free pieces of mail.
These weighed 4,385,oO7 pounds. Post
age would have amounted to S723,67l.
This stupendous Niagara of circulars
would have filled 1888 average sized
working railway mail cars.

Giant Dirigible Akron
Thrills Island Populace

Island residents were thrilled by the
sight Of the giant dirigible Akron, as
1t passed diagonally over the Island
on its way from Tacoma to Seattle
So smoothly did 1t float through the
air that 1t seemed scarcely possible
that it was going at speed of SO
miles an hour.
Against background of stormy,
wind tossed clouds the appearance was
in contrast to that presented by the
Inflated Shenandoah when she visited
the Northwest eight years ago. Many
recalled the perfection of that day,
and the cloudless sky against which
the Shenandoah sailed like great
fish. The Akron seemed much more
material, and not so much Pigment
of the Imagination.
The ship was near enough the earth
that her motors could be distinctly
heard. 1t was hard to realize that she

Aukai's Cannery
Will Start June !

In anticipation of 6 good crop o.
Strawberries, B. d. Mukai Is making
plans to open his cannery on June
9Th, operating with capacity crew.
With the price Of berries at the low
est in years, and with little hope Of
getting returns that would pay even
for the picking of the fruit 1t will help
out the growers to have a local casl,
market for their strawberries.
Knowing that canneries on the
mainland were not intending to oper-
ate to full capacity MI. Mukai an
ticipated that many growers would
have surplus of berries that would
otherwise go to waste. He has no
more assurance Of the future market
for barreled fruit than anyone else in
these days of uncertainty, but he has
taken chances before on Island berries
and is willing to do so again.

that such a huge object could be so
easily manipulated as was demon
strated.
The dirigible Akron which visited
the Northwest Tuesday cost $5,375, 900.
She was built by the Goodyear
Zeppelin CORPORATION of Akron, Ohio,
for the Navy She made her first
flight September 49, 1881. Here are
some other facts about the big ship:
Length, 7s5 feet; gas volume $780,
600 cubic feet; diameter, 1879; gross
lifting power 100000 pounds; horse
power, 4,480; top speed, SO miles an
hour; cruising speed, so miles an
hour; range without refueling, l0,5s0
miles.
The Akron has eight gasoline en-
gines and carries seventy officers and
men. Lieut.. Comdr Charles E. Rosen-
dahl U. s. NJ, is her master.

GOODWILL INDUSTRIES
HELP UNEMPLOYED

Showing an increase of 237 over
April of last year, the Seattle Goodwill
Industries obtained employment for
AS applicants during the past month,
it was announced yesterday.
The monthly report shows that 1909
persons were helped from opportunity
Jobs provided inside the plant or from
outside calls, increasing the yearly
total to 557s
More and better materials are
needed if our workers are to be kept
busy during the summer months" said
Rev. A. G. Young, superintendent,
and we hope Seattle housewives will
remember the Goodwill when house
cleaning. 200 bags daily are needed to
provide wages for these destitute per-
sons"
Cast-off wearing apparel, discarded
furniture, stoves, electrical goods, ETC.,
received in the Goodwill bags keep
some $50 workers steadily employed in
the main plant, mems and women's
clubs, Convalescent Home, and Good
will stores. After these articles are
sorted, cleaned and 'made-over' they
are sold at low prices in the Goodwill
stores, the money received being paid
out again as wages for making over
more articles.
A chance to visit this unique and
unusual institution has been given by
DR.. Young, who says, Many folk have
asked to see at first hand how we
help people to help themselves through
the reclamation of waste materials, so
we are inviting all who want to make
tour through the plant to get to-
gether a party and make arrange
ments with our Mr.. Odlund for
pleasant and profitable visit. Call
Prospect 5000 and tell when you are
coming. You may have tea in our
cozy little tea room as our guest. This
room is also available for committee
or club meetings, if desired.

New Bakery to
Open June 5th

It Is many years since any vashon
building has been as completely reno
waited and redecorated as has the
Thompson building In the past few
weeks. Inside and out it Is as spot
less as paint can make 1t. Even the
dingy store room in the rear has been
given a coat Of whitewash.
The building will house Vashon's
latest industry, an up-to- the minute
bakery plant, Electrically equipped,
with all of the latest machinery the
shop will manufacture and sell quality
bread, and pastries extraordinary.
Mr.. D. w. McGillivray, the owner of
the bakery is not stranger to many
Island people. A surprising number
have been customers of his ever since
the ferry has been running to Faunt-
leroy, For the past seven years he
has been in the same location near
the Junction in West Seattle, and has
been in West Seattle since 1914. Mr..
McGillivray has spent lifetime in
the business and comes from line
OF bakers. He is Scotch by birth, but
those who are familiar with the good
things he bakes say he does not dis
play the closeness usually attributed
to his nationality for he skimps on no
ingredient that makes for delicious
pastry.
Mr.. McGillivray states that on Fri
day he expects a 5-ton shipment Of
Montana hard wheat flour. He feels
that uniform products should be given
his customers and says that only by
buying flour in large quantities can
this be assured.
The new bakery will be operated by
Mr.. and Mrs. McGillivray, and their
son, Jack. 1t will be opened for BUSH
ness June 4th if nothing unforeseen
occurs. In locating here the Nc
Gillivrays are fulfilling desire of
years. as it has long been their hope
to some day own business on Vashon
Island. There seems little doubt of
their success since theirs is now the
only business of this nature locally
owned and operated.

Washington Group

Even though the state convention

delegation to the national convention

This was indicated when DR.. Hinton
D. Jonez, of Tacoma, an avowed wet,
was elected chairman of the delega-
ton. He won out by vote of IL to
z over Charles Hebberd, of Spokane,
dry.
Local Republicans saw this as an
indication that the delegation is wet
and members will vote their own mind
in spite of the declaration of the state
convention.
Jonez, after his election, selected
John ]. Sullivan, another avowed wet,
as Washington member of the national
platform committee. The national
committee meets on June 10.

800 Attend
Commencement

In the presence Of between eight
and nine hundred relatives and friend,
the thirty-eight members of the
Vashon Island high school class OF
1892 closed their high school career.
1t was an inspiring sight to witness
the ceremony Of the evening. After
the audience was seated the class en-
tered, single file, to professional
played by the high school orchestra
The girls were lovely in their beautiful
gowns of pastel shades, the boys,
dignified and serious, added touch
of solemnity that made their friends
realize Of what momentous significance
this step which they were taking was.
When the graduates were seated In
a semi-circle on the rostrum, Rev. e.
E. Duley delivered the invocation
after which mixed quartette sang
two selections.
Helen Yoshimura, salutatorian, de-
livered her address and spoke feeling
ly of the significance Of the evening;
of the ties that were being severed;
Of the uncertainties Of the life into
which each student was entering, The
words Helen spoke made those whose
graduation days were in the past feel
the extreme youth of those who we're
facing the world with the great
choices of life yet to be made.
Margaret Petersen, valedictorian
spoke on the subject of friendship,
very cleverly enlarging upon the idea
that true appreciation of friendship
depended on the consideration of the
various elements witch must neces-
sarily be present before true friend
ship could exist, such as loyalty, I'M
selfishness, understanding, etc. She
stated that during their four years of
working side by side friendships had
been developed that would last far
into the future and although this was
the class's final appearance in cere-
mony of the school 1t was not the end
of the close associations that had been
formed.
Groups of songs were rendered by
both the girls and boys choruses.
Prof. Robertson pre- sented DR..
Eugene A. Bishop, of the University of
Washington, who proved to be an in
teresting and versatile speaker. He
pointed out to the graduates that edu-
cation did not consist of the ability
to write and speak without error so
much as it did OF training the mind
to utilize necessary knowledge. He
spoke of the vast opportunities of the
present time; Of the great problems
to be solved; of the wrongs that were
waiting to be righted.
DR.. Bishop has spoken at a number
Of commencement exercises during the
past several weeks and he stated that
if the world could adopt only few
of the splendid suggestions and scnti-
ments voiced by the youth of today
that it would be a better place in
which to live than it is under the
management of their elders.
The presentations Of scholarships,
torch pins and perfect attendance
certificates were made by Prof.
Robertson, while Elmer E. Stone, as
clerk of the high school board pre-
sented the diplomas to members of
the class.
The class members marched in two
files from the rostrum to the strains
of the occasional" with the audience
remaining seated until the last gradu-
ate had left the auditorium.
