THANKS

We wish to express our thanks to
Mr.. Jackson Corbet for his permission
to reprint "Old Ironsides Speaks, from
last weeks issue Of his publication. the
Marine Digest"
We have known Mr.. Corbet as an
editor and friend. 1t was, however,
great surprise to realize that his
ability as poet is what it Is.
"old Ironsides Speaks is tabloid
history of America which should be
put in the hands of every American
ST ,dent. ANY young person with a
normal amount of imagination and
red blood could not fail to glimpse the
vision which Mr.. Corbet presents, nor
fail to thrill with pride in belonging
TO nation with past like ours.
We feel that Mr.. Corbet's courtesy
in giving us the permission to pass
this splendid poem on to our readers
has enabled to give to every one who
reads it something that will make us
all better Americans.

Sportsmen To Meet
Friday Eve, June z

The next meeting of the Vashon Is
land Sportsman's Club will be held at
the pool hall Friday, June End, at
3 p. m.
The proposed plan of an Island
farmers game conservation and pro-
tective association is gaining converts
every day, so come to our meeting and
get the latest ideas.
Our state game department is willing
and desireous of the cooperation of
athe farmer because they know and we
.alow that by close affiliation Of the
interested parties much good can be
accomplished.
The merchants Of this Island should
also be interested in this proposed plan
as they would also derive direct
benefit from an ideal hunting district.
The state of Maine in 1928 estimated
a direct revenue Of nearly $4,000 900
from hunting, fishing and tourist
money left in the state by outside
parties.
BY very small effort and expense
this Islana could be made one of the
most ideal spots for hunters in the en-
tire state. We have everything neces-
sary.
E. r. NePage, President.

An Au-Island Fair
Is Assured This Fall

After the committee meeting held at
the high school Tuesday evening Of
last week about the first remark made
was, We're going to have fair" and
this will be our slogan from now until
September 10th, the date set. And II
everyone will talk 1t we will have q
real fair.
After much discussion on different
phases of the fair 1t was decided tc
charge no admission and depend upon
raising money from concessions, carni.
val features, etc, to defray all ex-
penses,
1t was the general opinion that, as
costs must be kept to a minimum that
no money prizes would be offered to
adult exhibitors. The winners in this
class will be awarded first, second and
third prize ribbons.
There will be some prizes offered for
junior exhibits such as All, Boy Scouts
and school exhibits.
Each committee chairman is to make
up his own prize lists for exhibits in
his own respective department.
There are many details yet to be
worked out which will be announced
from time to time.
The committee heads are as follows:
Poultry, L. G. Beall; All, Carl Wick;
rabbits and pets, ROLAND Thompson;
educational, F. M. Robertson; sports,
T. Bankhead; flowers, Geo. Sheffield;
fruits, c. G. Soike; agriculture, not
named; ladies' department, Mrs. L. S.
Robe; premiums and concessions, w.
D. Clark; ways and means, R. Paul
hamus; live stock, not named.
Anyone interested in exhibits for any
of these departments may get in touch
with the committee heads.
With the full cooperation of the en-
tire Island this fair cannot fail to be
a success.

Picnic Grounds Topic
OF c. c. Meeting

On Friday evening the May meeting
Il the Vashon Island Commercial Club
WIS held at the high school, with q
representative attendance.
Among the matters Of routine busl-
ness under discussion probably the
most interesting was the subject Of
the Ellisport picnic grounds and sand
spit.
The former is controlled jointly by
the Bank Of California and the Bur-
well estate, The proposal was made
last winter that the owners would turn
the picnic ground over to the Com
mercial Club, leasing the property for
a period of time for 81 per year. To
this end the club was incorporated,
only to find that the Bank of Cali
fornia insisted on liability insurance
which would cost SIS per year. This,
officers and members Of the organiza-
ton felt, was more than they could
carry, in view of the fact that the
McClintock heirs had made the same
proposition to the club, In order to free
themselves of accident liability. The
Ellisport picnic ground, as well as the
sand spit, is now barred to the public
which has used both for many years.
The members Of the executive COM
mittee, particularly, feel that one,
without the other, would be like bread
without butter, and are seeking some
way out of the dilema. In the mean
time a number of families who have
vacationed at Ellisport for number
of years have made plans to go else
where upon learning that the sand
spit was not available.
President Bennett has appealed to
the various Island organizations for
help in solving this all-Tsland problem.
and will meet with their presidents at
the next meeting of the executive
meeting which will be held Thursday
evening, June 18th, at Kingsbury Lodge.
Another matter of particular inter-
est was embodied in letter from the
okanogan Cariboo Trail Association.
This letter stated that the organiza-
ton had secured the services of Law
renee D. Kitchell, Of Wenatchee, who
was making a tour of the state and
giving talks before civic groups. Mr..
Kitchell will be remembered as the
creator of the character "Old Timer
whose weekly broadcasts over KoMo
faniliarized the nation with various
features of the territory, particularly
the Northwest, served by the Great
Northern Railroad. 1t was decided to
combine Mr.. Kitchelrs visit here with
the annual Commercial Club dinner
which will be held late in June or
early in July at the Island Club.
Entertainment features of the eve
ming consisted of piano solo by Mrs
Digby Williams who repeated, by re-
quest, LISTS Hungarian Rhapsody No.
IL. Her performance was flawless and
her technique perfect 1t is seldom
that such playing is heard except by a
professional pianist.
Daisy Taylor, who is now with the
Mardi Gras troup broadcasting over
XVI delighted her hearers with
negro spiritual and later gave tap
dance.
AS it was his last appearance on the
Island, Mr.. r. E. Bright, with the as
sistance of his wife, gave group of
songs. 1t was surprise to many to
know that Mrs. Bright, too, is singer
of pleasing ability.
After the drawing for door prizes,
coffee and cake were served by the
Burton ladies in the domestic science
rooms.

PACKINGPROVES
PROBLEM FOR
MRS. OWEN
By DOROTHY DUCAS


Four years Of working with men
on Capitol Hill have fitted Ruth
Bryan owen for her new job as
minister to Denmark, the hand
some daughter Of the late vii.
liam Jennings Bryan said in an
interview today.
She will sail next week for
Copenhagen, confident she will be
called upon to do nothing she has
not already been prepared for in
Congress. She said today:
81 shall have to 'calI and
leave cards for the other min
listers, who are men, but what
Of it? 1 have learned to over
look sex distinctions in Con-
greSS."
Thrilled to Death"
ET am really thrilled to death
that q wOman-nOt Mrs. Owen,
but q w0man-has got another
new job. 1t is wonderful to
me to see how women are COM
ing ahead. / am reading now
all the press reports dealing
with Denmark, and 1 was inter-
ested to note the reaction to
rumOrs of my appointment was
favorable. Denmark is a cOun-
try in which women have been
FeCORniZed."
Mrs. Owen, in between pack
ing, is learning Danish. About
the packing job she had this
to say:
eff I were q male minister,
my wife would attend to it. 1
went through II trunks to find
. miniature Of my father and
myself which I wanted to take
with me for luck.
II am taking all my house
hold goods with me. My IL.
1ear-OId daughter, Helen Rudd
Owen, has found the most re-
nlarkable relics she wishes to
take along. An old japanese
sword three feet long that would
cut everything else in . trunk.
A red table cover embroidered
in white daisies. And a heap of
ostrich feathers"
Mrs. Owen has only one prob
lem of etiquette which is some
what Snarled. When she Is pre-
Sented at the Danish court, she
does not know whether to curt
Sey, as a gentlewoman does, Of
formally bow, as does a minister
of a country. She rather thinks
she will curtsey first, then bow
thus keeping intact her two char
acters.
On May 3 Mrs. Owen will &c
to New York to fulfill three
speaking engagements, returning
here ON May 6.
She will sail on May II OF
the Scanstate, a new ship goinl
directly to Copenhagen.

TWO PLANS AIM
At RACkETS

Two plans for putting an end
to invisible government" by rack.
eteering are engaging the atten'
ton Of the Attorney General and
leaders in Congress.
The first contemplates giving
the Department of Justice com.
plete authority to negotiate with
State governments an agreement
to adopt laws modelled to conform
to Federal statute.
The objective of the Federal
Government is to close all the
local rat holes" which now pro.
tect racketeers and their killers.
The second plan, which has
many supporters in both Houses
Of Congress, favors a joint com.
mission composed of three execu.
tive officials. including one from
the Army, three members of the
Senate and House, and the legal
officers of each Of the 48 States to
be designated by the governors.
Both programs, designed to
cover the same thing, would be
carried out under the direction of
the Attorney General.
