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 last week l'rm, t a visit to friends and relsllves at t)lalla. Mr. Wilson Is an- other suce:ssful rancher. .te exl)octs to harry!st at least two thousand bas- kets of grapes this fall ,and W. 1¢. Polk who r,!c,ntly Inlrchttsed the John ,Vll- SOl1 ranch, expects all equally good hat- • vest ot graps. C. IA. Kindred has silipl)ed out his boom of ldh!s OAld logs. One lllore ralt of logs will complete his work at the present canlp. l,eading a double life is generally looked Ullon as 11101'0 Or less of a questionable occupation, but Harstlne has one man who has certainly quail- lied as a double lifer. 'We refer to R. :M. ttaskell, li'or four days each week he sails ill(; high seas with all the llomp and panel)Iv oil a regular sea captain, while he and the valiant little mat(; Henry, attend to supplying the Harstine ranchers with their freight. But for the remainder of the week what a 'change! He arrives in port hangs up his cap with the gold braid and brass buttons, dons a common straw hat end hikes out for the corn field, where the pleblan hoe and the lively weed occupy bis attention until It is again time to cast off the lines of the Marie.

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. ROLAND H. HARTLEY. R. R.
