EXPECT DECREASE
FOR 1888 TURKEYS

Production OF turkeys In 1898 is
likely To be somewhat less than In 1899
owing to the low prices received for
the large crop of last year, according
TO the outlook issued by the State
College OF Washington, Turkey prices
have declined but the cost OF produce
ing turkeys has also been less. owing
to more efficient methods OF produc-
ton and cheaper feeds.
The 1892 crop was the largest on
record and probably exceeded l9,0OO,-
600 birds The increase In the num-
Der of turkeys together with reduced
consumer purchasing power In 1882,
forced turkey prices down to level
that was the lowest In the last 20
years. The average farm price Of
turkeys declined throughout the fall
from Is cents per pound on October
is to about IL cents In mid December.
Turkey prices declined more than
chicken and egg prices but less than
those OF feed grains.
Commercial production in large
flocks in 1888 will probably be less as
a result of the low 1882 prices.
The size of farm flocks may be less
responsive to the 1882 price declines
than that of large commercial flocks
because part Of the feed and care Of
farm flocks represents no apparent
expense. Available data indicate that
at prices current during the fall Of
1882, producers of the smaller farm
flocks received sufficient cash income
to more than cover apparent outlay
1t is doubtful whether the efficient
farm flock producer will materially
curtail his turkey production oper-
alton sin 1893.

Orthopedic Garden
Sale Very Successful

The Vashon Orthopcd,c Auxiliary
held It's first annual garden sale and
silver tea at the Island Club last
Saturday. Mrs. George Miller and
Mrs. David Baldwin, committee In
charge, report $37.23 from sales OF
plants donated by generous and kind
ly Island garden lovers.
or the stock left unsold, the smaller
plants were given to the Island Club
for planting around the club house,
and the larger items were given to
Royce Wise In charge CT the roadside
planting by the Commercial Club.
Thru the generous corporation Of
the Vashon Hardware Company, Cecil
Solley garden expert from Seattle,
gave a good talk on gardening prob
lens and how to solve them. Be fore
his address, he asked the committee
what line Of information would be
most desired, and was told that Island
gardens were strictly the home made
kind, designed and maintained by
their owners and practical information
was welcome. Among other good
points, Mr.. Solley urged that shrubs
blooming early in the spring, camel
las, forsythia, lilacs, etc., should be
pruned soon after blooming and should
have plenty of water during the sum-
mer when they were making their buds
for next years flowers. He advised
that herbaceous perennials such as
violets, forgetmenots, primroses, etc.,
could be saved in frosty weather by
being pressed back into the ground
when frost was heaving them out. He
called attention to the ground cover
which Nature maintains and which
gardeners might well initiate by plant
ing low growing thing around lilies,
peonies, etc. This plan is not only
good to look at but conserves the
moisture. He stressed the point that
there was real fun for the home made
gardeners who tried a new perennial
or new annual every year, or who
patiently studied the stubborn plant
to learn what 1t really needed.
Mrs. Morgan Doebler had charge of
the tea time program of two piano
solos by Mrs. Digby Williams and two
readings by Miss Patty Doebler, after
which tea was served with Madame
Beall and Mrs. Stanley pouring.
Mrs. Harris Ward, announced that
Mrs. Grace Beall held the lucky ticket
which won the knitted afghan and
pillow designed and made by Madame
Beall,. Mr.. Harmeling got the prive,
Zone of Mrs. T. Hansen's cakes for
his flower arrangement, a vase of
erythroniums (dotooth violets) in
varied colors. Mrs. Neil Flenner and
Mrs. G. w. Shields served as judges
Of the flower arrangement display.

DID YOU EVER STOP

The attraction and distraction Of

High School Notes
Seniors Caught Working

Well It's finished now The senior
boys, under the supervision OF Mr..
shattuck have Just completed a
cement sidewalk from the front door
of the school to the road. The boys
have worked hard to make this walk
and have learned great deal about
cement work while doing 1t.
The walk is 1875 feet long. six feet
wide and six Inches deep. AT the end
towards the school is a plate with the
roll OF the senior class written on It.
This walk greatly improves the looks
Of the school and we are sure that
posterity will always thank the class
Of 1888 for replacing the old boards
with the new concrete walk.

The workers and the children in the
neighborhood showed their support
in many ways All the bundles
stopped coming in. The solidarity of
the Negro and white, as we'll as the
different crafts, lifted the strike to
higher plane and guaranteed the
victory.
What can we learn from this
strike?
1. Young workers will fight for
better conditions.
2. Strikes can be won during the
crisis.
3. The Y. C. l.. should work with

NEW YORK.-The FairYiew Laun-

pipe of the willingness of young
workers to fight for better conditions.
The workers were called out to force
the boss to take back a girl that he
had fired, and to improve conditions
acnerally. The strike started early
In December ind lasted two and a
half weeks.
All the inside workers, 40 per cent
OF whom were young workers, came
out, q total of 60, including the driv-
ers, who joined them a few days
later. Being member Of the Y. c.

ahead at some fearful spectre. Miss
Lancey, Aunt Polly and the Hughes
women crouched nearby. The oil
lamp sputtered and flared, casting
weird shadows on the wall. Ma
Morgan doomed like some grotesque
giant, making mysterious passes in
the air. Once in awhile some one
broke the heavy silence to advance
another reason why Martha might
be late-any reason but the one at
which Ma Morgan stared SO hope
leSSly.
One by one the reasons were ex-
hausted. The muffled sobs of the
children grew louder, songs Of
weeping and praying broke loose in
the shack.
Uncle Ben and Earl Perkins
were the ones who several hours
later stumbled over Martha's
body. One swing of their Ian
terms over the swollen face and
mutilated form, and Uncle Ben
dropped beside the dead girl. His
body writhed, his hands clutched
and tore at the messy earth.
The others, reused by EarIs
hOarse cry, came running.
Jim, for a moment not realizing
that Martha was dead, gathered
her in his arms, pleading, 'Marthy
sweetheart - here's your j m,
come to take you home .Marthy,
can't you hear me?" The men
turned away, muffling their sobs.
Reused, Jim reached for one of the
lanterns propped against tree
trunk. As he raised it in the air,
the shadows about him lifted.
Throwing it from him in horror
he turned to his feet, his rigid arms
holding the girls body high above
their heads.
"Whar's the white beasts that
done this? Whar is they?'
"The bastards-the towards
whar is they?"
Uncle Ben crawled to his knees.

he slipped back toward the earth,

hands, wrenching loose an object

Ma Morgan, at the first faint
sounds of his heavy footsteps
bounded from her chair and rtish~
ed forward to meet him.
THE dance at the Country Club
was at it's height when Jim crept
along the shrubbery, across the dim
lawn and into cluInp of bridal
wreath bushes which stood against
the building between an open win
dow and the wide yeranda with
its high, colonial pillars. Complete
ly surrounded by their white blos-
oms, he crouched on all fours and
struggled to quiet his hurried
breathing. His brain was on fire,
yet cold and hard as the steel pillow
which he drove up the furrow.

Jim reached in his overall pocket,
then drew his rifle across his knees.
His aim at the foxes who came for
aging among the farmers chickens
had never failed him. Surely it
wouldn't fail him tonight.
Cautiously he drew back the
bushes and looked through the win
dow into the ballroom. Where,
among the whirling couples, was his
man? Girls with dazzling white
arms and necks, be-jeweled women
in their satin evening gowns swung
past, their marcelled heads pressed
against the white bosom fronts Of
their swallow tailed partners.
Along the walls stood stiff palms
and three equally stiff and dowdy
chaperones. At both ends of the
