with bad breath find quick relief
through DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets.

are taken for bad breath by all
who know.

table compound; you will know

of which the county pays but
500.
A cut of approximately $4,000
was made in the request for
funds for operations and main
tenance. This fund will amount
to $33,500 next year, as compared

opportunity in the classes in begin

organized here under the tutelage of
Madame j. D. Spence, of Seattle.
Madame Spence, a graduate of Col

studying under her in Seattle and are
very enthusiastic over the progress
they have made.

State Highway Patrol
Officers Visit Island

Officer Earl Rammage spent sew
eral days this week on the Island in
routine highway patrol work. He was
also checking up on complaints that
have come into the office in the past
few weeks, and made several calls of
an official nature. In such cases it is
the rule of the office to inform drivers
OF such complaints, giving them ample
opportunity to change their methods,
before employing more drastic means.
Officer Rammage reports that there
have been number of complaints on
the matter of faulty headlights and
that drivers must have proper lights,
adjusted in accordance with the re-
quirements of the law. He also found
number of cases of poor brakes, and
the drivers were given warning.
The matter of speed through Burton
and Vashon has been called to the
attention of the department, and
Officer Rammage stated that he
hoped the Island people would observe
these regulations of IS. miles per hour
through these two villages before the
law would have to step in. The signs
at Vashon are poorly posted and Of
ficer Rammage said that the new
type, large in size and much more
legible than the old ones would be
posted on the pavement farther out
of Vashon.
An appeal is also made to the Is
land drivers for more care in the
matter of speed on all of the Island
roads. With the added number of
tourist drivers who are not as familiar
with the roads as are the permanent
residents greater care is necessary.
Vashon-Maury Island holds the
state record tor the lowest number of
reported accidents. Washington rank
ed third last year in the fewest auto
mobile accidents. The highway patrol
is striving for the top place and the
fact that the Island has helped the
state record is appreciated by the
officers.
On Wednesday afternoon regular
three-ring circus was staged, when
Capt. Owen McGill arrived and as
sisted officer Rammage in checking
on lights, brakes, drivers licenses, etc.
A number of irate ones walked home
for their licenses, just to prove they
had them and several dollars changed
hands.

DEPPMAN BROTHERS
PURCHASE NEW TRUCK

Last week large Studebaker truck
was delivered to the Deppman Broth
ers for the new business they are de-
veloping. The new truck is equipped
with balloon tires which they felt were
best for hauling perishable fruits.
While the new line will not haul
freight between the Island and the
mainland, Charles and Louis Depp-
man have already been working over
time with loads of berries and farm
produce. Later in the season they
will do trucking between this vicinity
and California. Last year several
trips were made with the exchange of
Christmas trees and Washington APP
pies for citrus fruit proving a profit
able business. They will also handle
local and long distance furniture NOV
ing.
The business is not a new one to
the men, both being among the
pioneers in the line here on the Is
land.

Burton Market Instaus
New Refrigerator Case


Vashon Island may be a rural dis
trict, but 1t remained to one of our
merchants to introduce store equip
ment that is the last word, the
most modern in the state.
This week Mr. M. H.. Morrissey had
installed in his market at Burton,
refrigerator case de luxe. 1t is a
Friedrich Dreadnaught, and is proper
ly named. Perfectly insulated, heauti-
full in appearance. constructed and
finished for perfect cleanliness, the
new case is q marvel. The one Mr..
Morrissey has installed is finished in
black and white enamel, with nickel
trimmings. 1t is twenty feet long,
three feet deep, and has capacity of
1000 pounds of meat. The front of
the upper story is of four thicknesses
OF plate glass, with air spaces between
each. Over the front are two lights
shaded in such manner that the
1our reflections give the appearance of
row of lights shining on the con-
tents of the case. At the rear of the
upper case are three disappearing
doors, three thicknesses of glass deep.
The lower part of the case is large
cabinet, with heavy doors that ex-
clude all air. The two sections are
cooled by two Frigidaire units that
provides dry, even temperature,
ideal for the keeping of meats.
In order that his Island customers
may have the opportunity of seeing
this fine new case, the first in the
state of Washington, Mr.. Morrissey
has arranged for demonstration of
some of the products he sells daily.
Needless to say great many of his
Island customers will avail themselves
of his cordial invitation to be his
guests on Saturday. and will then
have an opportunity to see first. hand

Island { Lily Show
Will Be July 20

The Vashon Lily Show will be held
on Saturday and Sunday, July End
and 3rd at the Island Club, as in
former years. and no doubt will at
tract many visitors.
A new plan will be tried this year,
which is decidedly unique. The show
will not be confined to any particular
variety, but is an opportunity for Is
land growers to exhibit any flower
or shrub they may have in their
gardens.
All Island flower lovers, whether
members of the Lily Association are
urged to exhibit. There will be no
charge, the only request made being
to bring containers for all flowers
shown.
No prizes will be given, the COM
mittee feeling that an exhibit for the
pure love of flowers, and pride in &C
complishment, being decidedly
unique idea.
1t is impossible to measure the
benefit the Island has derived through
publicity given by past lily shows.
Flower lovers from all sections have
become familiar with Vashon Island,
who would not otherwise have come
here, were it not for the reputation
which has been gained by Island lilies.
The members of the association
have worked hard and faithfully and
individually have never received
benefit commensurate with the effort
they have made in staging the annual
lily show.
They will appreciate interest of any
and all growers, and exhibits from
each and everyone on the Island low
ing and growing flowers, and they
feel that the 1892 show should be as
successfully as any in the past, re-

PICKERs HARD TO FIND.

A visit to the Mukai packing plant
this week found it busy place, in
spite of the low price of barreled
berries.
Mr.. Mukai admits that he is taking
a long chance in keeping the plant in
operation this summer, yet feels that
it is better to do so than to let the
fruit go to waste
A crew of about twenty-five are en-
ployed in the plant, the best and most
efficient that has ever worked there,
so Mr.. Mukai states.
This, however, cannot be said of his
crew of pickers, for never in the time
that he has been on the Island has
he had so much difficulty In secur-
ing helpers. Mr.. Mukai, like other
growers, felt that with the present
depressed state of finances generally
that pickers would be easy to find.
For years the complaint has been
made that Island pickers could find
no work while Indian and Filipino
help was being imported. Feeling
that it was only fair to give Island
white help an opportunity to work Mr..
Mukai refused to bring his usual crew
of Indian pickers from British Colum-
bia. He had found Filipino help I'M
dependable and had turned them
down. Now he is faced with a short
age of pickers that gives him real
cause for worry.
Other growers state that there have
never before been so few applicants,
and that there is a real hardship re-
sulting from their attempt to give
preference to local help.
Officer Rammage, while here, told
Of road project in the county, where
the use of men in place of machinery
was specified in the contract. The
offer of $3.50 per day brought few
men, but when crew Of Italian
laborers was hired there was a protest
from those who had previously re-
fused to wage. The result was that
the contractor was obliged to cut his
force, employing about half the
original number at $3.50 per day.
1t Is q paradox that with money so
scarce, and so many unemployed that
help should be SO difficult to find,
