City Is Wet

Although the rural districts are
dry and so will support Hickey,
Michigan City is wet and will offset
the rural majority for him. One
source of Democratic strength is
State Representative Martin Krueg-
er, five times mayor of Michigan
City, whose stand for public owner
ship of utilities in the last session
won him great favor. 1t is possible
that he may lead the entire ticket
in his race for reelection. Esti-
mated Democratic majority of 500.
Elkhart-Although Republican
majorities have averaged 5000 in
past congressional elections, Pet
tengill carried it by 3 votes in 1880.
1t has been strongly Republican and
went out of the fold in 1912, when
Albert Beveridge carried it for Gov
ernor as a Bull Mooser and Robert
Proctor, Democratic leader, who is
very active in this campaign, was
elected state senator.
Watson Is Hated
Dissatisfaction With the Hoover
administration is exceedingly great
and Watson is hated thoroughly.
In 1923, when the senator ran for
the Republican primary nominal
ton for President, the county or
ganization would have nothing to
do with his campaign. A play for
former khan support of the Repub-
lican ticket has been made by a
former lecturer of the hooded order,
H. G. Beauchamp, but to no avail,
evidently.
Roosevelt is very popular, as are
Van Mugs and McNutt. The DEM
ocratic majority may reach 1000.
Socialists are working hard here
and may obtain 1000 votes.
st. Joseph-Republican by ma
aorities of from 5000 to $500 in
1920, 1924. and 1923, but gave Pet
tengiIl a majority of 4,S97 in 1880.
Because of widespread unemploy-
ment, popularity of Pettengill and
the entire ticket it is expected to
return a Democratic majority Of
at least 5000. Because of the larger
population and activity the Social
lists may poll 1000 votes in this
county.

ISLAND GIRL GOES TO INDIA

Her many Island friends will be
interested in a splendid opportunity
which recently came to Eva Sarvold.
While attending Bible school in
Pasadena. Calf, Miss Sarvold met a
woman who had spent the past 26
years in missionary work in India, a
great deal Of the time, in company
with her husband at the Pilgrim Mis-
sion, at Benares, on the Ganges river.
She had returned to this country fol-
lowing the death Of her husband, but
business matters necessitated her re-
turn to the Benares to settle up her
affairs there.
She prevailed upon Miss Sarvold to
make the trip with her, to be gone
several months. They left Los
Angeles, November 6, arrived in New
York November 18th. Sailing from
New York on the s. s. Europa they
arrived in England five days later.
From Southampton they sailed on the
s. 8. Nakuda November 18th. Enroute
they will touch at points In France,
Gibralter, Egypt, Arabia, Suez and will
arrive in Bombay, from which place
they will go by train to Benares.

idea, and the hostesses are to be
thanked for their efforts to make this
a real yuletide meeting.

THE REAL COMMUNITY SPIRIT.

What seems to us to be the real
community spirit is being displayed by
Theo Berry Of Dockton. Each New
Years Eve the Dockton people get to-
gether for a celebration at their COM
munity hall. For several years tickets
have been sold for this dance several
weeks in advance. Mr.. Berry as one
Of the prime movers In all of the
Dockton affairs sells goodly portion
Of the tickets, but this year he is MAX
ing 1t plain to all whom he approaches
that he wants them to first attend the
Orthopedic supper dance, then the
Dockton dance. He laughingly in
forms his friends that Dockton folks
consider midnight too early to break
up party and that there will still be
time to celebrate with the Docktor
people before their dance will be over

Island May Be In
Need Of Sheriff

Despite the fact that the 1881 bud
get provided for full time deputy
sheriff on Vashon-M aury Island all
during 1882, for the past three months
the Island has had only part time
deputy. F. j. shattuck, along with
three other King county deputies was
put on part time to save portion OF
the salaries Of the dry squad. These
ten men were retained after an an
nouncement that they would have to
be dropped on account Of lack of
funds for salaries.
Within the past week Sheriff Ban
nick has informed Mr.. shattuck that
the Island deputy sheriff would in all
probability be dropped entirely the
first Of the year. Isolated as we are
and obliged to depend on ferries
which do not run all during the night
1t seems scarcely fair that the Island
should be penalized in this manner.
With the repeal Of the. state liquor
laws the sheriff's office will no longer
be obliged to maintain the dry squad
whose prosecution of liquor cases was
presupposed to result in enough to pay
the major part of their salaries
In spite of the fact that ours is a
law abiding community there are times
when we need quick action and local
officer Of the law. It is far easier for
communities on the mainland to get
help from Seattle. While economy in
county affairs is highly commendable
it should be general instead Of sing
ling out a community as isolated as
ours in this manner.
1t would seem ADVISABLE for the
Island people to take action at once
and express to the sheriff and to the
county commissioners disapproval of
this course of action they are con-
templating.

Work Allotted
Local Auxiliary

At a meeting of the Christmas COM
mittee for the Orthopedic hospital
last week an allotment of the work
expected of each auxiliary was made.
! Yashon Orthopedic Auxiliary has as
its allotment Of work the making and
filling Of six Christmas stockings,
three for boys and three for girls.
Each stocking is to contain toy, an
orange, an apple, pencil, a tablet
and an eraser. The Auxiliary are to
also dress three dolls, so there will
be plenty of work for all members and
friends able to attend the all day
meeting at Mrs. Roberts on next Fri
day.
Donations Of fruit or toys will be
most acceptable. There are small
patients who will be admitted to the
hospital for whom no provision has
been made, as well as those who will
receive no gifts from home. 1t is sad
enough for well child to be dis
appointed at Christmas time, but for
q sick child to be disappointed it
would be too tragic to be permitted.
In addition to the orthopedic hos
pital there are a number of chill
dren's homes in and about Seattle
where Island fruit, greens, or any gifts
that might be spared would bring
happiness to some child.
Then too, there will be opportunity
to help out our local welfare COM
mittee Of which F. ]. Shattuck is
chairman so that we can obey all Of
our generous impulses this Christmas
as never before.

School Fund
Is Reduced

AT meeting Of directors and priv
cipals of union high school districts
held in Seattle Monday night, it was
planned to support an effort to have
the legislature pass measure that
would provide about $50 per census
child from state funds, the money to
be raised by method which will be
recommended by governors commit
tee now working on the problem. The
necessity for legislative relief Is illu-
strated by the following figures relat-
ing to our local schools and furnished
by County Superintendent Hulse.
Last year the Vashon grammar
school was allowed s10,l3s for operat-
ing expenses. Under Initiative No. ga
but $5,327 may be raised. Burton dis
trict's allowance is reduced from &c.
$50 to $500; Cove from s3,l71 to
$1,s88; Maury Island from $4,647 to
s2,47s; Center from s4,5Ss to $2,lse;
HAooSSuAS AAoAi S1,f16 W SOOl dllQ GIle
high school from s24,582 to $2,491.
In case the legislature fails to take
steps to help the schools in this pre-
dicament it is possible for school dis
tricts to authorize by three-fifths vote
levies in addition to the amounts
stated above. BY this means present
budgets could be sustained by special
levies ranging from 10 to Sl.7 mills.
Total tax levies for all purposes would
then range from 40 to 567 mills, which
would still be substantial reduction
from our present tax levy.
Under the law the special election
may not be held till the first Of oc-
tober. Local schools probably would
not open until after this election
which will either authorize or reject
the raising Of funds sufficient for the
operation of the Island schools.

0rthopedic Plans
Nearing Completion


With an increasing number Of COM
mittee meetings the plans for the
Orthopedic supper dance on New
Years Eve gives promise Of a happy
affair. The menu for the supper will
appeal not only to the men but to the
ladies, adipose or slim, equally. There
will be good music for those who wisl,
to dance and number of amusing
skits and entertaining numbers for
those who do not care to dance. There
will be a fish pond for those who care
for the sport. In fact it is to be one
of those affairs one Just can't afford
to miss.
The fine thing about this annual
Orthopedic dance Is that while the
Island folk are getting together to
end the old year and get the new one
well under way as great big family
they are also launching 385 days Of
new promise to the little ones who
seek assistance from the orthopedic
hospital Were 1t not for the named
bed supported in this manner one less
child in each six weeks, approximately
would have to be denied entrance to
the hospital on account Of shortage OF
beds, for they are all filled all Of the
time.

Scouts To Give
Benefit Dance

On next Saturday evening, Decem.
Der nth, there will be given dance
at the Island Club for the benefit Of
the vashon Boy Scouts. The roof Of
the cabin is In bad condition and the
money realized from this dance will
be used to buy shingles for new one
The boys have partially enough in 9
savings account for the new roof, bu,
as they are anxious to face the new
year free Of debt this dance will be
given in an effort to make up the de-
ficit. There are also a few repairs
needed on the interior of the build
ing.
The boys are now planning on COM
plotting the work shop and will en-
deavor to get as many bench tools as
possible. The remainder Of the winter
will be devoted largely to handicraft
projects on q competitive basis and II
is hoped that the boys can gain some
valuable practice and knowledge Of
the use Of tools.
Anyone wishing to help the boys car
do SO by donating to the many bench
tools for the shop equipment for which
they no longer have use.
Mr.. Thompson, scoutmaster, Is re.
ceiying some very welcome assistance
from three Of his former Scouts. Clar-
ence and Bob Weiss and John King
Bob Weiss is assisting in the flool
work, Clarence Weiss is to give al
second class tests and John King vii

particularly fortunate arrangement.

No Immediate
Help In Sight

After making thorough investiga-
ton Of the workings Of the Home
Saving Corporation Mr.. Frances sher-
man reports that there apparently
does not seem to be much prospect of
immediate help for those who are
hoping to be able to borrow money to
save their homes from threatened
foreclosure.
The original plan was to lend the
money to building and loan associa-
lions which in turn were expected to
lend the money to private individuals.
Up to the present time not single
individual loan has been made in the
state Of Washington, and there does
not appear to be any likelihood Of any
being made soon.
Mr.. Worrell Wilson has devoted a
great deal Of time and effort in help
ing Mr.. Sherman find out what can
be done for the relief Of Island home
owners now in serious financial straits.
While they have satisfied them
selves that nothing can be done at the
immediate time they feel that the
work now being done by the COM
mittee in charge Of this matter will
result before many months in direct
helm being available.
In the meantime those who fear
foreclosure may derive some comfort
from the fact that the coming state
legislature stands pledged to pass a
two years moratorium on mortgages,
although there seems to be question
being raised concerning the legality Of
such legislative act.

Junior Play A
Decided Success

An enthusiastic audience declared
the Junior play given Friday night at
the high school, most delightful and
well-rounded performance. The Jun
Tor Glass presented the coolest group
Of players that ever appeared on our
school stage.
The play, taken from the story
Seventeen" by Booth Harrington was
one Of the most humorous and most
suitable ever given by the high school
students.
Much credit must be given to Mrs.
Keyes for the way in which she chose
the characters and her art In direct
ing them. Each player fitted his part.
Ronnie Megorden as Willie, o boy Of
seventeen who thought he was In love,
was perfect. Phil Green as his father
remember Phil's decidedly paternal
r1ature) could not have been surpassed.
Clara Johnson as his fond mother was
as devoted as could be wished. Ona
Nelson rs Lola Pratt. Willie's "Baby
Talk Lady" though quite unlike her
usual quiet self, assumed lisp SO
natural that she might have been
born with 1t. Willie's rivals for Lola's
affections; Dick Slagle as Johnny
Watson, Bill WILDER as hardboiled Joe
Bullet. Chet Olson as rich, arrogant
George Crooper, and Dick Harmellne
as Wallie Banks were quite at home
in their parts. Alice Ensing as Jane
Baxter Willie's impudent, tattline
little sister, the terror Of Willie's life
furnished most Of the humor Of the
play. Alice looked about the age Of
five years and though her part wa.
perhaps the hardest In the play, she
acted IL perfectly. Hottawa Myjoch
made a good negro and Elsie Garvir
was delightful In her part US Ma,
Parcher. Lola's friend. Elaine Jeffer,
as Mary Brooks, Evelyn Crouch q,
Ethel Boke and Tuckic Smith as Mr.
Parcher gave splendid support to thu
main characters through their owl
fine portrayals.
Between scenes music was furnished
by tho orchestra, The girls sextett,
added color and romance by singing
the theme song Of the play, Seven
teen" In colonial costumes.

that Christmas is almost here 1t isn't

going to the city, as even the most ex-
acting can find gifts here at home.
