Valuable information On
Selection Of superior Judges

Possibly never in the life of the
average voter has there been time
when the necessity of voting wisely
seemed SO important. On every hand
voters are expressing a desire for in
formation on office seekers and are
seemingly welcoming any authoritive
information obtainable.
The choice of Superior Court Judges
is important, ard it is particularly
difficult for the ordinary layman to
obtain real facts as to the fitness OF
candidates. Possibly no better means
of obtaining some idea as to who is
best qualified for holding these posi-
lions can be found than by studying
the result OF the recent poll taken by
King County attorneys Reputable
attorneys state that there was nc
manner in which politics entered into
this poll. 1t was an expression as to
whom they considered best qualified
by past performance, reputation and
experience to be elected to the 8
various positions. A close study OF
the result of this poll will be of great
help to the average voter who has
not the opportunity for knowing these
men as has the practicing attorney
1t is suggested that all wishing to
vote intelligently study the following
results carefully.
All lawyers in King County were
furnished ballot containing the
names of each candidate for each de-
partment of the Superior Court, and
were requested TO check the name OF
each department Of the court they be-
lieved best qualified for Judge and
send their vote to Room 662, Dexter
Horton Building by S o'clock p. m.
August %. Those votes as received
were placed In locked pouch. Or
| August 20, at 10 o'clock a. m. Assist.
ant County Auditor unlocked the
pouch containing the ballots and they
were counted by committee of law
yers appointed by the President Of the
Seattle Bar Association. All candi.
dates were invited To be present ir
person or by their representatives
while the votes were being counted

Dental X.Ray for
Vashon-Maury Island

With the opening of the offices OF
DR.. ]. G. Bennett in Vashon the Is
land now has the advantages OF
dental x-Ray at prices equal to the
most reasonable obtainable in any
large city. Dental x-Ray with equip
ment adapted to the work has here
tofore seemed out of the question for
our community, DR.. Benefits office
is equipped with a Ritter machine, the
best obtainable. He has also a per-
fectly equipped x-Ray laboratory, and
can take and develop pictures within
very short time. And best of all is
the fact that the Island residents need
no longer make the trip to the city
for this service.
The equipment Of these new offices
also include Ritter unit, cabinet, air
compressor and light. 1t has also
electric and solution sterilizers as we'll
as a full line of the latest type of
instruments. For the work which re-
quires gas for heat, Flamo gas is
used. The office equipment is at
tractively finished in ivory tan and
black enamel.
DR.. BENEFITS offices are artistically
finished and furnished and consist of
three rooms and the x-Ray labor
atory. With the help of Seattle
architect the plan was cleverly drawn
and every inch of space has been
utilized. The furnishings have also
been chosen with an eye to make the
best possible advantage of wall and
floor space with the result that the
offices would do credit to a large Of
flee building. DR.. Bennett states that
his Island offices are more salts
factory than the ones he occupied in
the Stimson building in Seattle.
Coming out from the middle west
several years ago DR.. Bennett estab-
lished his practice in Seattle and built
up good practice, but as time went
on he felt that he preferred to have
his business, as well as his home, on
the Island.

Angora Rabbit
Growing Popular

A number OF Island people are be-
coming interested In the raising of
Angora rabbits on a large scale. This
week work was completed on hutches
OF the latest improved type for Roy
Dennis, of Quartermaster, who is
starting with 10 breeders of the Malet
stock.
The raising of Angora wool rabbits
is most interesting and profitable
business. They are raised only for
their wool which is downy, soft and
silklike. 1t is clipped from the time
they are three months old and every
three months thereafter during the
life Of the rabbit, which is from five
to ten years There is more profit in
one clipping of wool than ordinary
rabbits produce during their life time.
Angora wool is the lightest, also the
finest texture Of wool ever produced.
1t is eight times warmer and eight
times lighter than ordinary wool. It
Is used to mix with rayon and silk
and Is also made up into garments
and because of its light weight and
warmth commands big price at the
exclusive stores. Angora yarn retails
in Seattle for IS cents for one-half
ounce The wool is also made into
garments for aviators and actresses
In the talkie studios because it has
the appearance and luster of silk
without the rustic. 1t may be worn
next to the tender skin of babies with
perfect safety. In fact there is an
unlimited demand for the wool, both
in America and abroad. 1t is author
lively reported that one American
mill imported 10000 pounds from Eng
land in July in one shipment The
price ranges somewhat, usually from
S. to $3.50 per pound for first grade,
three inches or over.
The Angora population of the U. S.
at present is not over 10000. Angoras
provide an income both from produc-
ton of wool and the sale of breeding
stock. 500 or more is not an unusual
price for a good foundation buck and
some does will bring $50, and this,
mind you, is money we'll invested, but
one must know what he is buying.
However, good animal from registered
stock may be had at very reason
able figure from any reliable breeder.
One may embark in the Angora
wool business with say five or six
animals and have around rs inside of
a year. The cost of feeding is very
small. Each rabbit should not exceed
sl.25 year leaving conservative
net profit per animal of 81 per year.
Angoras do not take lot of care.
They are clean and a quiet animal
and most appreciative of kind treat
ment.
The wool is graded as clipped for
length and condition and placed in
separate receptacles. A handful of
naptha flakes will stand guard over it
for year if necessary.
The marketing is done almost en-
tirely through cooperative methods or
through an agent or buyer for the
mills. Your nearest market, however,
no matter where you live is your near
est post office.

o.. Hansen Speaks at
Dinner at Island Club

On last Saturday evening a dinner
was given at the Island Club for the
King County Planning Committee,
officers of which indicated to Secre-
tary Martin of the Commercial Club
their intention of visiting the Island.
After waiting for some time for the
guests to arrive the excellent dinner,
prepared by Mrs. A. H. johnson, was
served to the twelve persons present,
among whom were Col. and Mrs.
Howard Hansen. Col. Hansen had
served In the capacity Of first presi-
dent of the Planning Committee and
represented the group on this oc-
casion.
After the dinner Col. Hansen was
introduced by G.. r. vanOlinda and
spoke In behalf of the Planning Com
tmittee. He explained the capacity in
(which the group served, and how it
was the endeavor to visit all parts of
King County, meeting with civic
groups, helping them to plan wisely
for the future development of the
community. Mr.. Hansen expressed re-
greet for the evident error that had
prevented the group from keeping
their vashon Island engagement. He
outlined the need Of the Island as he
saw it from the viewpoint of sum-
mer resident of more than twenty
years all of which time he has owned
and developed his property at Glen
Acres. He stated that the primary
need of the Island was the develop
ment of good highway system, work
ing first toward a north to south high
way, then striving for the improve
ment of rib roads serving all of the
beaches. A valuable suggestion for
interesting the permanent summer
residents in the affairs and develop
ment of the Island by summer con-
nection with the Commercial Club was
made by Col. Hansen.
Judge Claypool also spoke, dwelling
particularly on the love his entire
family cherished for the Island, and
his interest in any future work that
might be done ior its good.
Mrs. Hansen spoke interestingly of
some of the needs from the standpoint
OF the housewife coming out from the
city for the summer. She gave an
interesting review of the development
in service that she had witnessed
since the family began coming to the
Island. At that time all of the trans
portation was by means of the small
passenger boats, and she spoke re-
gretfully of their passing, and ex-
pressed an appreciation OF the SER
vice they had rendered in the past.
Others who spoke, members of the
executive committee of the Com
nercial Club, agreed that the great
need of che Island was more and
better roads, and that we should not
be content until the. two Islands were
linked by fine system of highways.
1t proved to be one of the most
constructive meetings that had been
held for some time, even though the
guests still remained unaccounted for
at the close of the evening.
