T HARSTINE ISLAND r
,L. DAYTON
Miss Elizabeth A4nderson has made Many of the cows went without
her final visit to the dentist, at least their bells Monday evening when a
for tbe present. Poor Elizabeth for the,cr0w d of about forty Dayton folks
pat several weeks has been making
two visits a week to the "chamber of turned out to charivari Mr. and Mrs.
horrors" in Olympia. Her appearance
hasn't, goes without saying, been much
improved but poor Dad's purse looks as
though it had been stepped on by an
elel)hant.
Jim Edgbert and the staunch little
II. & I., make regular trips to Olympia
twice a week, to Jim is due the grat-
itude of the small fruit growers of the
island. He came to their rescue when
the transportation question was a vital
one and although he has bad some had
luck wll.h the boat and some trips have
to he entered on the wrong side of the
ledger, he "plays the game" like a true
port.
Miss Hilma Johnson of Tacoma,
spent a few days of last week on the
island, the guest of her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Andrew Johnson. Miss John-
son is In the employ of the Sperry
Flour Company and her home visits are
not as frequent as her many friends
could wish.
A benefit dance will bolgiven in the
Community Hall, on Saturday, August
21, the proceeds to. he tendered to
Relnhardt Goetsch, who by a most de-
plorable accident in the Lorenzen camp
recently lost a band and afoot. Every-
thing that this community can do to
make tbis dance atsuccess Will be done.
There will be a bountiful regular Har-
stine supper, ice cream and other lux-
uries for sale and the best music that
can be secured. Come and help a
worthy cause, and at the same time
enjoy a royal good time.
Quite a number of Harstein people
attended the Mason County Day ex-
cursion to the state experiment station
and all returned better satisfied than
ever with their Island homes---and why
not? Harstine has responded in every
individual case to industry and intelli-
gent care. We have many examples of
this truth. Jacob Wingert has Peta-
lama "skinned a mile" in the chicken
game and North Dakota rivaled in the
roduction of heat, of Which latter he
as seven acres of as fine a crop as
ever grew anywhere. His blackberries
In vigor and productiveness are far a-
head of any grown under the most
sclentillc and painstaking care at the
l'lxlleriment Station at Puyailup.
Lee Carlson is another Harstinelte
wio is demonstrating wtmt can he ac-
oompltst, cd by mixing brains with
brawn. He shipped this year about 250
crates el' strawberries, which netted
him an average of $4.00 a crate. Har-
stlne produces the earliest berries in
this part el' Washington. Tlle earlier
shipment brought $7.00 a crate. :e
has 5,000 tomato plants which will
produce another thousand dollars. Tile
eorllhin(!d acreage of berrics and toma-
toes, is less than four acres. Ir. Carl-
son is always a seeker after new ideas
and methods ms exenlpJifled in one in-
stance wtlere he carted black beach-
muck onto a garden patil and finds
it to be an excellent fertilizer.
Th(!se are but two out of nlany that
prove what-can he done in this part of
the world.
Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Nelson, re(.tlrned

l,eading a double life is generally

questionable occupation, but Harstlne
has one man who has certainly quail-
lied as a double lifer. 'We refer to R.

Here is His Platform:
2he State of Washington is a bsin$ss institution Organized to carry on the public
affairs of all the people of this state.
If elected to the office of governor I pledge myself to administer the bsiness of the
public without class distinction so that every citizen may receive eqeal protection
in his lawll rights and eelal representation in determiration oT all pbic qestions
Public business must be divorced from political
manipulation and I pledge my time, effort and
energy to the 'conduct of the business of the state
of Washington.
I favor the consolidation o£ various state boards
and agencies to eliminate waste and duplication of
"work and to that end will personally make a busi-
ness survey of the various depm%ments of state
government in the same manner that I would in-
vestigate the affairs of a private usiness enter-
prise if selected to manage its affairs.
I favor the adoption of a budget for every de-
partment of state government.
The people are entitled to a dollar's worth of
service for every dollar of public money expended.
The right to acquire and own property offers to
every individual the incentive necessary for the. ad-
vancement of civilization and the preservation of a
free government. If elected to the office of gov-
ernor I shall 'consider it my highest duty to protect
all citizens of this commonwealth in their propety
rights.
It is the inherent right of every individual to
work and receive the benefits of his labor and I
pledge myself to protect every citizen of the state
of Washington in that right.
I am unalterably opposed to state socialism and
will resist any effort to involve this state in the
ownership or operation of any line ef business or
industry.
The right of free speech, free press and peaceful
assemblage does not constitute a license to plot
against the government and I favor the enactment
of legislation to define sedition and to make sedi-
tious utterances a crime against the state.
HARTLEY CA:MPAIGN COMMITTEE
I favor the establishment of complete courses on
Americanism and citizenship, based, upon the great
principle of the duty of the citizen to his govern-
ment, in all public school grades and in the higher
educational institutions of the state.
The soldiers' bonus bill is for decision by refer-
endum of the people of the state. I believe that
every possible assistance should be given to the
ex-service men and women who 'left their homes
and employment to give their services to their
country, by aiding them to rehabilitate themselves
in civil life. I favor a just recompense, based on
length of sewice, to place our commonwealth in
line with other great states of our country and re-
deem the pledge we gave to those valiant sons and
daughters who were willing to do and dare for our
state and nation.
Our state must be protected against cheap foreign
labor and its attendanteconolnic conditions. Amer-
ican labor must not be required to mee the low
standards of living under which the alien can pros-
per. America's progress has been because of the
continued advancement of our standm:ds of living,
labor and education.
"Obedience to Law is Libmy.
The laws and statutes of the state of Washington
must be enforced and respected and I p!edge my-
self to an administration of complete law enforce-
ment in every respect and without reservations.
I have made no pledge other than those con-
rained in this platform and I will stand or fall on
the principle herein enunciated.
